iTunes File Import (Windows)
I recently bought 1password for windows and tried to import my keyfile (windows pc) via iTunes on my ipad. Unfortunately it did not work. I looked in the faq and, if I am not wrong, it is not possible with 1password for windows.
So my three questions:
1) is this correct respectively
2) when will it work respectively?
3) why don't you go the way like toopassword (zip import via itunes on windows pc)
Thank you very much!

You don't need to import your keychain on your iPad. What you need to do is setup Dropbox sync: http://help.agilebits.com/1Password_Windows/setting-up-Dropbox-sync.html

@Quintain, the link posted by @svondutch describes the second thing I thought you might be trying to do: share and sync your 1Password data with 1Password on another machine. It points to one of the handful of tutorials in the 1Password for Windows user's guide.
We always recommend new users take a few minutes to read the “Introduction,” “Getting Started,” and “Tutorials” sections of the user’s guide, accessible from the Help menu and in the Support area of our web site. They’re short (and a tad out of date, in a couple of places), but they’re still the quickest way to get the most out of 1Password. As you use 1Password, we believe you’ll find the information in the “FAQ” section to be of use, as well.

@DBrown: sorry for being back so late. Sorry also for posting "keyfile" instead of your term keychain respectively meaning the whole folder of 1password (I think the meaning was clear) . Unfortunately I left the impression that I would not read instructions and that I am a newbie not knowing what to do. I must confess, that I have to ask a more specific. I don't want to use dropbox or a cloud service because of security reasons (I know that we Germans have a different view concerning this). So the answer of svondutch is useful for dropbox users but not for me.
I (as a windows user) just want to use it via iTunes directly. But (see my originally question) after reading (really!) the faqs I can't see a way doing this.
So I asked (maybe I have overlooked something) why it is not possible handling this like the program toopassword (http://toopassword.com/): zipping the keychain and then transfer it as one file via iTunes into 1password on my iPhone and iPad? I hope that I was now more specific and look forward to your reply,0 -
Ok, then I would like to propose to take alternative sync mechansims on the roadmap for coming up updates. E.g. see the tiny program toopassword with the easy zip import (but read only). Thank you very much!

By the way, the method of manually exporting login credentials from one program, zipping them up, and importing them into another is not sync'ing; it's a one-way copy.
1Password already includes an import feature. You can read about it in the "How do I import data into 1Password?" article in the "FAQ" section of the user's guide, accessible from the Help menu and in the Support area of our web site.
