Setting Up Accounts
MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange provide not only email, but contact and calendar
information that you can sync to iPad automatically, over the air. MobileMe can also
sync your bookmarks on iPad with Safari on a Mac. You set up MobileMe, Exchange,
and other email accounts directly on iPad. You can use multiple accounts at the same
time on iPad.
For more information about setting up a Microsoft Exchange account in a corporate
environment, see “Setting Up Microsoft Exchange Accounts” on page 134.
For many popular email services, iPad automatically enters most of the settings for you.
Set up an account on iPad:
1 From the iPad Home screen, tap Settings.
2 Tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Add Account.
3 Tap an account type:
Microsoft Exchange Â
MobileMe Â
Gmail Â
Yahoo! Mail Â
AOL Â
Other Â
4 Enter your account information and tap Save.
Your service provider or system administrator can provide the account settings
you need.
5 If you’re setting up a MobileMe or Microsoft Exchange account, tap the items you want
to use on iPad—mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks (MobileMe only).
MobileMe includes the Find My iPad feature (not available in all regions) that helps
you locate iPad if it’s been lost or stolen, and lets you remotely lock, or erase the
information on iPad if necessary.
If you enable Find My iPad for your MobileMe account, make sure Push is turned on
for Fetch New Data. In Settings, choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Fetch New Data.
If Push is o, tap to turn it on.
For Exchange accounts, you can set how many days of email you want to sync to iPad.
If you already have contact or calendar information on iPad when you enable the
account, iPad asks what you want to do with existing information on iPad. You can
merge the existing data into your MobileMe or Exchange account, keep it in a separate
account on iPad (the account is labeled “On My iPad“), or delete it. Existing bookmarks
can only be merged or deleted.
