Is it possible to synch ICal in OS10.8 and Google Calendar so friends can view and change it on a PC? The friends have no IOS devices, ITunes, or ICloud accounts. Thanks, if you have performed this miracle!

There's a non Apple supported hack/methode that may let you share iCal calendars: iCloud Mail settings in Snow Leopard

Help needed to sync ical and google calendar

Hello, I am hoping someone can help me set up my ical and google calendar so they can sync from one to the other. I originally have ical with everything on it and I need to get it to sync with google. I have no problem exporting from ical and importing in google but I do have a problem setting it up to sync back and forth. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

ICal auto refresh from Google Calendar?

Hello-
I have my iCal synched to my Google Calendar (I like to refer to iCal whenever I'm offline and don't have ready access to Google Calendar).
Is it possible to create an Automator script so that my iCal automatically refreshes my Google Calendar? If not, do you know if it would be difficult to create an Apple Script to do this? Thanks much.

There is no apple script function that will refresh it, there is a thing called "reload calendars", but that only reloads it from local files. I guess you could try something like a script that presse "ShiftR" every now and then.

How can I sync "On My Mac" iCal calendars on Snow Leopard with iPhone and Google Calendar?

Hi,
(I've done a lot of searching for a clear answer but without success.)
Can someone please advise how I can get the "On My Mac" calendars on iCal v4.0.4 (running under Snow Leopard 10.6.8) to sync with an iPhone and Google Calendars, 'over the air' (i.e. not via iTunes) and both ways (two-way syncing).
There was a great bit of software called Spanning Sync which did it all but it's now discontinued. I'm running Snow Leopard and do NOT want to upgrade to OS Lion.
I've tried the iCloud route but it just creates an extra set of "@me.com" calendars under the "On My Mac" calendars - it is not syncing the "On My Mac" calendars themselves (and I want to use the "On My MAc" calendars as the master dataset (the 'Truth database' to use an Apple term!).
... And the same happens when I try to sync my Google Calendars: another set of "@google.com" calendars appear.
Now instead of 2 calendars in iCal I have 6: 2 On My Mac calendars, 2 iCloud ones, and 2 Google ones. (This is not progress Apple!)
Hope someone can advise.
Many thanks.

Thanks Winston. I'm aware that the 'on my mac' calendar doesn't get picked up by iCloud. I'm wondering whether anyone can help with the best alternative solution for synchronisation of phone and Outlook.

Ical not syncing to google calendar

Hi everyone. I can't seem to find a solution to my iCal and Google calendar problem. Here is my information:
MacBook Pro - version 10.6.8
iCal - 4.04
I have all of my Google calendars set up in iCal. When I enter any events from within Google Calendar on the web, it then syncs flawlessly to my iCal...delegates included.
However, when I make a change in iCal itself on my computer, I get this error: The calendar https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user//www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user was not found on the server. Make sure the URL is correct.
I removed the / that gets inserted at the end of the above address like some have suggested but iCal keeps putting it back in there. I am also noticing that I don't have this problem when I enter events from iCal on my iPhone or iPad. It only happens on my MacBook Pro.
Please help!!!!!!!

According to Google: "Setting up iCloud sync has caused events to be wiped from Google Calendar for some of our users who were syncing information between iCal and Google Calendar. In response, we've stopped deleting the information until this issue is fixed. Until further notice, deleting any event in iCal will not remove this event from Google Calendar (for iCal 4 users, all changes made after a delete attempt will not be saved in Google Calendar). We've contacted Apple and we are actively working on this. We're also attempting to restore the deleted events. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, we'll keep you posted. As a workaround, we suggest you remove event in the Web version of Google Calendar (calendar.google.com). This change would be properly synced with your iCal."

How can I view my iCalendar on Google mail? Is it possible to import the iCalendar into the Google calendar? If so, how?

Is it possible to import the iCalendar into the Google calendar? If so, how?

You can certainly add your google calendar to your iPad: http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=151674
This will allow you to sync calendars back and forth between your iPad and Google.
However you cannot import already existing calendars on iPad into Google from the iPad itself.
You would need to:
Sync your iPad with a computer
And then use the computer to import your calendar to Google: http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=37118
If you are using a Mac I can tell you how to sync the calendars to the computer and then put them on google.
If you are using a Windows machine I would suggest you post your question in the iPad forum where the iPad experts reside: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipad/using_ipad

Publish iCal to a new Google calendar account

I recently was assigned a Google email and calendar account for a work group. The email system is administered by the work group and it is not a personal Google account; however, I have a password and login for my email and calendar. How can I publish my iCal account to this Google calendar account and then keep it in sync, so that when I change my iCal appointments, they are updated in the Google calendar?
Thanks for any help you can lend this rookie.

Hello Stephen
In order to change the command timeouts used in Visual Studio 2013 you will need to change the following registry setting:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\SQLDB\Database\QueryTimeoutSeconds
You can increase it to 300 (5 min) to see if that helps. You can also set it to 0 (infinite) so it won't time out on the client.
For SSMS and the command line tools, the registry setting is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\SQLDB\Database\QueryTimeoutSeconds

How do I get reminders to work between ical and google calendar

I have searched and searched, read dozens of posts, and still have found nothing that shows how to get reminders to work in ical. One post said to disable all event reminders in the google interface-did not make any difference; setting them up in google-did not work; etc etc
Specifically, I am on a macbook pro, snow leopard, ical 4.0.4; my wife is on the same system, but using an iMac.
since snow leopard does not support the cloud, and mobilme is gone, we were 'forced' to use google calendar to sync events between our two computers; that part seems to work fine; most of the time.
But neither of us can get a reminder to pop up in ical, when the event is one that goes to google; if the event is one that is "on my mac", then those kind of event reminders do work.
this is not about syncing reminders; it is about me tring to make a medical appt event remind me a few hours before, so I don't forget it, like happened last week!!
Mainly I am expecting anyone that responds to this post to say, yes you are right, there is no way to get a 'caldav' event reminder to work anymore.
If anyone says "I found a way..." I will be knocked over :-) (but overjoyed); I am happy to use terminal, plist editor, or anything else, if someone can fix this.

can anyone help with this, even if just to confirm that there is no fix?

ICal won't accept Google Calendar password

can't sync with my Google calendars anymore.
I have deleted the calendar accounts on my Mac.
Set up the 2-stpe passwords on Google.
Tried to create new accounts in iCal with my email address (is not a gmail account) and app specific password:
- used Automatic Account setup: get a "Server With Secure Communication Unavailable" error message
- used Google account type: it finds my account - asks me again right away for the password. I enter it. It creates the account but gives me the error icon and wants my password over and over without syncing.
- used CaDAV account type: I enter User Name, app specific password and for server address: google.com
again, it finds my account and wants passwword right away.
I have also tried to use for a server address the calendar URL (https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/[email protected]/user) - no go.
I have quit iCal after various account setups and reopeen - always the same problem:
Alert icon next to the calendar account and when I click on it, it wants me to enter the password. I do and nothing happens - no syncing.
When I go to Delegates of the created account, I get an error message saying: Sever did not recognize your user name or passwword....
I only use the app specific password. I do have a different user name than my email address - but I have tried to use both at different times - no go.
Any ideas?
Mac mini, OSX 10.8.5, iCal 6.0

I haven't tried your fix yet, but I was having the same problem with iCal and now I have it with everything. Google wants to link with OS X for a number of apps - fine - I enter my password - still fine - then there's another window: will you accept x,y, z? I click 'accept' and I get 'Google authentication failed'. I have changed my password three time just to make sure I am using the correct password, but no.
I do wonder if the problem is gmail - the password window opens with my gmail address (which I never use) filled in. I change it to my real email address and the password is fine until it gets to the 'accept' thing. Just appeared in notifications again: Enter you pssword for [my username] in Internet Accounts. I just can't be bothered to try again.

ICal crashes on adding Google Calendar (other than primary)

Hey Guys
When I add a Google Calendar in iCal which is created by me in Google. iCal keeps on crashing on startup. I have sent bug report like 100 times in past 4-5 months.. Don't see any update coming in 10.7.3
Anyone else has this crash? I am talking about adding calendar other than the primary google calendar. iCal says it as Delegation. And it does show read and write access. I created it in Google
And it's just ANY delegation calendar I add.. not a particular one.. All are created by me in my google account.

Hi,
I think your problem is to do with the calendar data, and that you have a corruption in multiple calendars. Try the last two suggestions in my post here (which is slightly different to the advice I gave in the other thread you posted to):

Can I get iCal to respond to Google Calendar invitations?

Ever since MobileMe forced everyone to switch to the new CalDAV calendars, iCal.app stopped responding to iCalendar (ICS) invitations that I receive via email from Google Calendar users. Here's what's happening:
I receive a Google Calendar email, open it in Mail.app, and double-click on the ICS email file attachment.
Mail passes the ICS to iCal.app, which automatically creates a new calendar entry. However, the only choice I have for the new even under the "NOTIFICATIONS" side pane in iCal is an "OK" button. (Prior to the MobileMe Calendar update, I could accept or decline a meeting from the Notifications pane.)
I can open the meeting in iCal to reveal "Maybe", "Decline", and "Accept" buttons, but—for example—choosing the Accept button doesn't send an iCalendar email response back to the meeting organizer. The fact that I just accepted the event is also not reflected in iCal. Furthermore, iCal doesn't let me edit or add a new alarm to the event.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions for how to restore the old behavior!
P.S. Here are links to two other calendaring issues that cropped up since the MobileMe change:
How do I set the meeting organizer email address for the new CalDAV calendar?
Can I get Google to recognize my iCal invitations?

I have the same problem and it is not limited to Google Calendar invitations. Very frustrating! I can't find a solution anywhere other than replying to the invite message manually ... very poor workaround.

Preventing all iCal email notifications of Google Calendar

I have a Google Calendar, and share it with others. On a remote machine, I set up that calendar in iCal using CalDAV, and later just as a subscription. In both cases, new meetings and reminders were send out using my remote machine's primary Mail email. I don't want that to happen. Is there a way to turn that off in iCal (http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icalreplychecker doesn't work with CalDAV), or must I control that in Google Calendar? thanks

I've been looking for a solution to this since I upgraded to Lion, and I'm saddened that there isn't a proper resolution.
I already get email notifications sent via Google Calendar, so the idea that for me to get my calendar events on my desktop, I basically have to put up with getting two notifications for each event, is pretty ridiculous. Add to that the fact that iCal continually launches the Mail app throughout the day, and that whole implementation is a mess.
I appreciate the answer, though.

Publishing ical so that others can view and edit calendars

I would like to make my ical viewable for someone in another country and would like for them to be able to make changes to it, so that if either of us wants to make changes we can and it will sync as we make changes. I know that if you publish a calendar others can view it, but they can't make changes.
Does anyone have any idea of how to do this?
Thanks

I am considering purchasing an iphone. I'd like to use ical for our family calendar, but want my husband to view and edit the calendar from his computer at work. Can we do this? I've been reading and it sounds like maybe if we purchase the mobileme package at another $69/year. But maybe not even then? Perhaps it is just better to use googlecalendar from my iphone and have him view/edit from his work computer? Will googlecalendar work well from my iphone? I'm unfamiliar with ical or googlecalendar, but we are ready to move our family calendar online. Any advice is appreciated.

Ical server and google calendar

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has found a way to have a google calendar run the same way in ical as ical server so that all everyone can view the google calendar through ical server.
We currently have our calendar on google calendar and would love to migrate it across to our server.
