Transfering info from PC to ipad

[Vinceware]

Hi. I am a PC user and I am considering buying an iPad 2 mainly for business use.

Can I transfer information such as emails in outlook, excel files and calendar details to the iPad.

Many thanks for any suggestions.

Yes is the simple answer!

You can set your email up in the mail app that comes preinstalled.

If you use a calendar for business purposes I would suggest Smart Pad or Pocket Informant apps.

For excel, there are various options which you will discover by searching on these threads however, there may be difficulty if you use heavily formatted spreadsheets.

Good to hear from you. You’ll find a whole bunch of iPad enthusiasts in this Forum who are only too willing to help other iPad owners and to hear of their experiences. Don’t be afraid to post any questions you may have or use the ‘Search’ button near the top of the Forum web page. I usually find I discover one new interesting and useful piece of information about my iPad every day - and often not even what I was looking for!!

Hope to hear from you soon with your thoughts about the iPad.

Have fun and enjoy your iPad

I have my calendar (very large) in outlook (on a PC) and want to import it into my ipad2. I tried doing it via iTunes on the PC, but it did not work. Can someone please help with suggestions?

Transfer your files

You can definitely transfer all your files quite easily using Dropbox.
