The current Google’s calendar sync limitation with the iPad is that using a Microsoft setup for Google accounts currently works for a single calendar on the iPad. A trick or an app that can sync multiple calendars to the iPad has been much desired. The good news is that the limitation can actually be overcome with the help of Google sync app now! Here is a lucid step-wise DIY guide on the same:
Step#1 Until Google addresses the issue with iPad, The Safari browser can be appropriated to go about with the job. So you could begin by opening the Safari browser and then navigating to its Preferences pane.
Step#2 Next, tap on the Advanced tab and go to “Show Desktop menu in menu bar”. Close the Preferences pane.
Step#3 Locate the “Develop menu” option in the Safari menu bar. Tap on User Agent option and choose “Mobile Safari 3. 1. 3- iPhone” to confirm to the websites to be used that the iPhone’s browser is being used by you. This is mandatory to be able to open up the mobile site for the Google Sync Service.
Step#4 Browse and sign in to http://m.google.com//sync. Once that is done, go to the Develop menu in Safari and Disable Java Script. Next, choose to manage your iPad.
Step#5 The next window that follows would pop up with the message that you can sync just one calendar to the device. But you could ignore that and proceed by clicking on the relevant shared and primary calendar options that pop up. Now tap on the Save Button.
Step#6 This should be enough to get your desired end accomplished. However, there are two more very important things that you need to do. These include undoing the User Agent Change and re-enable JavaScript in Safari that you tinkered with during the process of activating multiple calendars.
It really is that easy! Try this out to squeeze more out of your iPad device till Google actually addresses the limitation with Google Sync. Appropriating this workaround is neither tough nor time-consuming, so doing it manually should not be a problem till then.
There are other iPad hacks and apps waiting to be unveiled and you could access many more of such wonderful ones through easy Do-it-yourself guides provided on this webpage.
Go on then, reinvent your iPad with entirely new possibilities and avenues that otherwise lie hidden with the device.
