Passcode
Important once the passcode is set if someone tries to access their iPad unsuccessfully 10 times the iPad will wipe itself.
- Have the user select a passcode. This passcode is separate from their Gustavus password and does not sync with their Gustavus password.
- Have the user confirm their passcode in the next field.
Set Calendars to Sync
By default your device will automatically synchronize your main Gustavus Google Calendar. To sync other Google calendars that are shared with you:
- Open Safari from the main menu of the iPhone, iPod or iPad
- Navigate to https://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect
- Have the user enter their full Gustavus email address and password and sign in.
- Click sign in again which will redirect to the Gustavus single sign on page. Have the user enter their Gustavus username and password.
- Select all calendar present and click save. It's easy to toggle on and off with calendars in the Calendars iPad App.
Connecting to a Computer
If you are connecting this device to a computer, it will try to synchronize the device with iTunes. You are already synchronizing your email, contacts and calendars wirelessly, so be sure to not sync them with your computer. This will alleviate any problems with duplicate content.
Syncing
If you have completed this setup all your Gustavus contacts, calendars and email should be synchronized automatically.
