Ipad : Wireless Sync Using the MobileMe Service (part 3) - Set Up Your iPad to Access Your MobileMe Account

4. Set Up Your iPad to Access Your MobileMe Account

Now that you've set up your MobileMe account, you are ready to sign into it from your iPad.

1. Tap your Settings icon.

2. Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars in the left column.

3. Tap Add Account... in the right column

   
   
   

4. Tap MobileMe for the account type.

   
   
   

5. Enter your Name and your MobileMe e-mail Address and Password, then tap Next.

   
   
   

6. Now you'll see the MobileMe configuration screen showing your sync options.

   
   
   

7. To turn any synced item ON or OFF, tap the switch.

8. To turn on Find My iPad, which will show your iPad on a map on the MobileMe web site, move the switch to ON.

9. If you have any existing contacts or bookmarks on your iPad, you'll see a warning message similar to this one.

   Choose Merge with MobileMe if you'd like to add all the existing contacts (or bookmarks) to your MobileMe account.

   
   
   

   You could end up with duplicate contacts or bookmarks if you choose Merge. It would be safer to choose Do not Merge.

   
   

10. When you are done, tap Save. You should be brought back to the Settings screen and see your MobileMe account listed with the selected items turned ON for syncing.
