How do i sync ical with google calendar, in that direction

i have google cal and ical syncset up but it was set up by google telling what to enter into ical. this made my other calendars, all the google calendars i have other than the main one, into "delegates" on ical.
whats the reason or process for this? cant they just been normal calendars on ical?
the reason i ask is that i have a menu pull down app which seems to only read "normal" calendars and not delegated calendars...
can i sync ical to google cal but enter details into ical to sync with google rather than the other way round?

So if I make calendar entry in my iphone it syncs to my mac ical but not icloud.
If everything is set to use iCloud then it's impossible for data to get from the iPhone to the mac but not iCloud, since all the data actually resides on iCloud and is read from there by devices. It rather sounds as if you have some syncing going on iTunes. If you look at the calendar listing on your Mac and Phone they must be listed under iCloud, not 'On My Mac/iPhone' - is that the case?

  • HT2513 How do I syncing iCal with Google Calendar with 2-step verification turned on?

    MacBook Pro
    Lion 10.7.3
    I am writing to ask for help in connecting my iCal to my google calendar with 2-step verification turned on.
    While google has application specific passwords set up, they don't seem to work through iCal or though Mail, Contacts and Calendars.  Any ideas or solutions would be great.
    Thanks

    Thanks Kao. I've tried that.  Didn't work for me.
    I found a reply in another thread that indicated that after setting up in Mail, Contats and Calendars I needed to delete my account from within iCal then recreate it in iCal using the application specific password.  I did that.  iCal seemed to accept it, I've closed and reopened a few times and it seems to be working now without the errors.
    I was able to get it to work yesterday temporarily - hope it sticks this time.

  • Have thunderbolt and need to sync ical with google calendar in order to use.  Any suggestions?

    Have a thunderbolt and MacBook.  Need to sync ical with google calendar as thunderbolt supports google calendar.  Any suggestions?

    I think we may be talking about two different things. Thunderbolt is the new two way display port on Mac Book Pros and Apple displays.
    Thunderbolt (originally codenamed Light Peak) is an interface for connecting peripheral devices to a computer via an expansion bus. Thunderbolt was developed by Intel and brought to market with technical collaboration from Apple Inc. It was introduced commercially on Apple's updated MacBook Pro lineup on February 24, 2011.
    Thunderbolt combines PCI Express and DisplayPort into a serial data interface. A single Thunderbolt port supports hubs as well as a daisy chain of up to seven Thunderbolt devices; up to two of these devices may be high-resolution displays using DisplayPort. You can move data to and from peripherals up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than with FireWire 800.

  • How do i sync ical to google calendars with Leopard?

    Hi I am trying to syn two macbooks ical to google calendars.  I can do it on one by going ical>preferences>accounts>+account>
    which pops up a box with  Accounts information : server settings:  Delegation along the top and description: username:password:fullname:refreshcalendars along the left
    But after ical>preferences>accounts>+account> on the other older macbook with Leopard OS the pop up is more basic with no tabs across the tops just down the left description :username:password: account URL
    But when I input exactly the same info it says the login failed - your password was rejected by the server but the password is absolutely correct and I have double checked it by logging in else where.
    Any advice?

    I found the answer.
    The computer that I was having problems adding the Ical cal dav account to for google calendars has iCal 3 software;
    This is how to set up the account after turning on 2 step verification in google and creating a application specific password
    Set Up Google Calendar iCal Sync in iCal 3
    To set up Google Calendar iCal synchronization manually:
    Select iCal | Preferences... from the menu in iCal.
    Go to the Accounts tab.
    Click + beneath the Accounts list.
    Enter "Google Calendar" under Description:.
    Type your Google Calendar account user name (say, your Gmail address) under Username:.
    Enter the Google Calendar account's password under Password:.
    Expand Server Options.
    Type "https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/" (not including the quotation marks) underAccount URL:.
    Append your Google Calendar user name to that.
    Append "/user" (excluding, again, the quotation marks) to the that.
    Finally, you could have something like "https://www.google.com/ calendar/ dav/[email protected]/user" under Account URL:.
    Click Add.
    Highlight the newly added account in the Accounts list.
    Go to the Delegation tab.
    Make sure all calendars you want to access in addition to your default Google Calendar calendar are checked.
    Close the Accounts preferences window.

  • How to sync iCal with Google calendar (both ways)???

    I have been trying to sync my ical with my google calendar both ways.
    I got all new event created in google calendar syncing into iCal but i can't get the one created in iCal go into google calendar.
    Help please!!!!
    thx

    When entering a new event in iCal be sure your "google" calendar is highlighted on the left had side of your screen. That makes Google your default calendar as you add events. Or you can choose which calendar from the drop-down box in the details box when adding a new entry. The down side is that is seems you can only select one Calendar; so the "Home", "Work", "Untitled" options become moot if you want to sync back to google.
    If you already had events scheduled in iCal; you can right click on them, select "Calendar" and then choose your google calendar. When you refresh your google calendar that event should show up.
    You simply need to be sure what Calendar you're entering into. Also if you wait a few SECONDS the calendars DO sync without any need to manually synchronize them.
    So basically, ensure you're entering into the Google Calendar in iCal and wait a minute.

  • How to sync iCal with google calendar

    I am trying to sync my Google calander with my iCal calander . I have tried the support suggestions in Google help. Re: creating another account in ICal etc.. But that doesn't work.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    This is the Apple iCloud forum which has nothing whatsoever to do with syncing with Google.
    Try the Google forums, and see here: http://www.google.com/sync/index.html

  • Sync iCal with google calendar

    I want to have all my events on my google calendar not my google events on my iCal.

    When entering a new event in iCal be sure your "google" calendar is highlighted on the left had side of your screen. That makes Google your default calendar as you add events. Or you can choose which calendar from the drop-down box in the details box when adding a new entry. The down side is that is seems you can only select one Calendar; so the "Home", "Work", "Untitled" options become moot if you want to sync back to google.
    If you already had events scheduled in iCal; you can right click on them, select "Calendar" and then choose your google calendar. When you refresh your google calendar that event should show up. I had hoped this would all be automatic (true two-way syncing) but I guess not.
    You simply need to be sure what Calendar you're entering into. Also if you wait a few SECONDS the calendars DO sync without any need to manually synchronize them.

  • Sync issues with Google Calendar and e-mail alerts

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing a lot of problems with iCal while I'm trying to sync it with Google Calendar. I have correctly inserted my Google account information into iCal, but:
    when I create a new event and I disable the e-mail alert and save it, it automatically turns on the e-mail alert! Is there a way to disable by default all alerts? I have already tried to go to Settings - Advanced and select “Disable all alerts” with no result;
    all the events I create into iCal are correctly synced with Google Calendar and I can correctly read them on the web app, but in my android device they don't have the time information (they are listed as all-day events)

    GooSync would do the trick - http://www.goosync.com/
    Plz be aware that Goosync nor Google Contacts supports all field from your phone so it is not an 100% backup unfortunately

  • Syncing iCal to Google Calendars

    I am using 10.3.9 and don't intend to upgrade until Leopard (due to expense) I have iCal 1.5.5 and iSync 1.5.
    Because I cannot sync directly from iCal to my Sony Ericsson K750i mobile phone I have attempted to solve this by using Google Calendar to which I can export iCal, and using GooSync I can sync from Google Calendar to the phone.
    Does any one know of a way of syncing iCal to Google Calendar as the export option is limited and time consuming compared to a true sync.
    Even a way of exporting individual events would be preferable to eporting the entire calendar and would be almost as good as syncing, but my understanding is that I cannot export snippets in this way. I would love for someone to tell me I am wrong.
    Tony

  • How can I sync lightning with iphone calendar?

    how can I sync lightning with iphone calendar? I saw online that I need to use a google calendar? I added the google calendar as they described but I have no idea where to go from here

    To sync with iPhone's calendar (also called iCalendar) you need to use a cloud-based calendar. If you already have lightning, install the Google Provider addon and setup Google Calendar. If you have already done that, go to settings on your iPhone. In the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars area, add your Google account, and turn on Calendar. This will sync your Google Calendar with the iPhone.

  • Using iCal with Google Calendars: can view subscribed calendars, but not add to them

    Something recently happened to my google calendars causing them to all disappear from Google. Anyway, that mystery remains.
    I am currently trying to re set up iCal to sync with Google Calendars and things aren't working quite right.
    In iCal, I've done Calendar>Subscribe and entered the URL for that particular Google calendar. This has been completed for the 5 separate Google calendars I have and they show up in the list of subscribed calendars.
    However, if I attempt to create a new event, the only calendar choice I have is for the main GMail calendar, not any of the subscribed "sub calendars".
    In Preferences>Account, If I select Google and then go to the "delegation"tab, there is a message that states "You can't see delegation settings when this account is offline."
    Can anyone offer some advice?
    Thanks.

    That's the part I always forget how to do. See if this answers your question:
    To select which calendars to sync to your Apple device, follow these steps:
    Open the Safari browser on your device and go to http://m.google.com/sync
    Sign in with your account and select your device from the list of devices you've set up for Google Sync.

  • How can i sync a CalDav google calendar with my local calendar in iCal?

    Hi,
    I have a google calendar as CalDav-account in my iCal. It works perfect. Now i'd like to sync the google calendar with my local calendar, without copy/paste for every date. Ist there any possibility?

    I just discovered that when you set up CalDAV delegate accounts in iCal, you are really moving google calendars into iCal, not the other way around. So for everything to sync up you must enter events in the delegate calendars in iCal, not in your original iCal calendars.
