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

  • 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.

  • Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

    Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

    That's what I would have thought, but even after saving the setting, as soon as I shut down my computer or log out of Mail, it automatically defaults back to 25. It's a bit frustrating.
    Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of those horrible pop-up banners but still have my glass sound and number of emails in the red dot when I get an email...
    These little tweaks are the only thing I HATE about upgrading my OS.

  • Sync, restore, and issue with Google Calendar

    I have several problems: I somehow lost my data prior to Jan1, 08 on my BB 8703 sometime after syncing with Google Calendar (may be completely coincidental). Now I have a dilemma I have a backup from a couple of weeks ago but I don't want to lose all of the new data I've put in lately.
    How do I add in the data from the last few years back into my BB? How can I save what I have now? Can I sync with the Google calendar? 2 way? one way? do I sync from before or after I restore?  
    I'm very confused and worried about permanently losing my data.  

    There is a brilliant little App called 'Spanning Sync' which does just that! It syncs your iCal to your Google calendar and it is very easy to set up and use. However, it only lets you sync with one Google account per licence. If you need to sync to more than one Google account, you need to buy more licences. I use it very successfully and would recommend it to you without reservation.

  • Can Icloud sync with google calendar and gmail?

    We use google calendar at my office and share it with our staff. I thought we would be able to sync those calendars with icloud and google. Before icloud, I set up an exchange account on Ipad, iphone, imac and it works well for calendar and email.  I thought I could replace that sync with icloud, but it seems to not be designed that way. Should google calendar and gmail users stick with google?

    THANK YOU ithos! 
    I have searched and searched to try and find a way to sync my Google calendars with iCloud.
    You don't exactly say how to make this happen, but you gave me enough nuggets to put it together.  Thank you for responding and helping me put it all together.
    I have 5 Google calendars (Family, Work, Church, Extended Family Birthdays, US Holidays).  My wife, two different assistants and I all share and update the calendars.  I want all this to continue since it affects every aspect of my life.  I sit at a PC at work and need to be able to view all those calendars during the work week, I also need to be able to view and edit from work (pc), iPhone, wife's iPhone, assistants computers, and our home (mac).  So, staying Google - for now, is what I need. 
    I just upgraded to the 4S and Siri is one of the main reasons.  Without iCloud syncing with my calendars Siri is USELESS with calendaring stuff.  So, I have to have Siri able to view my calendars as well. 
    So, with that info, here's how I got it all to work. 
    For those of you who need a start to finish explanation, here it is:
    1. Computer running the OS Lion (mine's an iMac)
    2. Open iCal on the Mac
    3. Open your Google Calendar
    4. In iCal go to iCal --> Preferences --> Accounts. 
    Make sure iCloud is listed under Accounts.  This was my default, so I didn't have to make any changes.  If yours lists something different, sorry.  I don't know how to change it.  But I believe this is a KEY component as ithos above mentions that the subscription be 'located' on iCloud.  
    5. In iCal go to Calendar --> Subscribe
    This will force a pop up asking you for the URL of the calendar you are trying to subscribe to. 
    Where do you find this URL?    I found this article from 2006 that gives the low down:
    http://www.tuaw.com/2006/04/13/howto-subscribe-to-a-google-calendar-using-ical/
    Don't worry, even though it's from 2006 it still works.  Here are the steps in a nutshell, but you should read the short article so you don't miss anything.
    6. In Google Calendar you need to dig into EACH calendar that you want to 'Subscribe to' and find the unique URL for that calendar.  This will allow you to then force iCal to look at and scrape the data from this calendar as often as every 5 minutes.  As you follow the articles steps (they are very easy) then your iCal calendar will populate with the Google calendar data from the calendar you subscribed to.  I had to do this for EACH calendar I wanted to show up on my iCal calendar.
    7.  I then grabbed my iPhone and asked Siri, "What does my day look like tomorrow?"  She responded with all my iCal / iCloud (which are all subscribed to my Google calendars) calendar data.  I smiled
    This ONLY allows the Google info to be pushed to iCal / iCloud.  It doesn't allow the info to go the other way. 
    It won't let Siri manipulate the iCal/iCloud calendar or the Google calendar.  But at least Siri can see what's already there.  So, a step in the right direction. 
    Good luck!

  • Is there a way to sync iCloud Calendar with Google Calendar and vice versa?

    I have been using Google Calendar for awhile and really just like the design of Mac's calendar a lot more. I want to use the calendar feature on iCloud because I can access it online when I need to. However I use an Android so I don't think I can completely utilize the iCloud Calendar feature on my phone. Is there a way to get Google Calendar and iCloud Calendar to talk?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Is there a way to get Google Calendar and iCloud Calendar to talk?
    Unfortunately not.

  • How to use iPhone to sync Outlook with Google calendar?

    This is a bit of a convoluted question, but I think there may be an answer using the iPhone as a go between. Here is the issue, I cannot get my google calendar and my Outlook calendar to sync with each other.  I'm using Outlook 2011 on a macbook pro which is using 10.6.8.  The macbook does not have iCloud services on it.  I am also using an iPhone 5 which of course does have iCloud.
    Before recently switching to an iPhone, I always used a Blackberry.  I was able to get my google calendar events to appear in my Outlook calendar when I connected the Blackberry to my mac with a cord and selected "sync" in the Blackberry desktop manager.  There were some issues with duplicate events on my BB calendar, but I could deal with that.  For that set up, I had turned everything on to sync with as much as possible, including iCal.
    Here is my current question.  Now that I am using the iPhone, is there a way to make google calendar and Outlook calendar sync with each other?  I would think this is possible, because my iPhone and my iCal have all the events from both calendars.  Google is syncing with my iCal, and Outlook is syncing with my iCal.  So, shouldn't the sync work in reverse as well?  Does the iCal only receive events from these two sources but not also "export" events to these calendars as well?
    And, is there a fix using either the iPhone or iCal to make both calendars appear in both places, as they do in my iCal and my iPhone?
    Thank you!

    In order to be able to order from the U.S. Online Store you need to have a U.S. credit card and the device has to be shipped to a U.S. address.

  • How to sync with google calendar and google mail contacts

  • Sync issue with Outlook: Notes and Contacts ok - Calendar stopped syncing

    Greetings,
    Syncing (via USB cable) between my iPhone 3GS (3.1.2) and Outlook 2003 SP3 (Cal, Contacts, and Notes) has never been an issue until my recent upgrade to iTunes 9.0.2.25. Since then, I noticed that my Calendar was no longer syncing either way. When I hit "Sync", iTunes would indicate that it's going through the motion of syncing calendar but no synchronization of the items take place. Contacts and Notes continue to sync fine. One off behavior is that when I connect my iPhone via USB, I get a pop-up window with "Apple iPhone" header
    indicating "Camera connected" with option to pick an app (ie. MS Word) to lauch for this action. Never seen this pop-up. I just cancel out of it.
    Few things I did to try to fix the issue, in vain:
    1. iTunes->Info->Advanced: forced a "Replace information on this iPhone" - no changes to my calendar
    2. iTunes->Edits->Preference->Devices->Reset Sync History - all calendar entries on iPhone are gone
    3. "Repair/Reinstall" iTunes by running the install executable
    I stopped by the Genius Bar for an appointment related to my battery issue and asked the fellow about my sync issue. He wasn't "aware" of the issue.
    Anyone has a suggestion for me to try? Thanks!!!

    I tried now several things to resync my data cause it realy s*cks without. I tried to install itunes 9.0.2.25, 9.0.1 and 9.0.0 but nothing helped so far. I also tried to set Outlook 2003 as standard program for mailing (one forum wrote that helps, too) and I tried to find out if something blocks the communication betwen Outlook 2003 and itunes. But nothing could help so far, still no sync.
    I find it interesting that when I connect my iphone to my PC an then switch in itunes to the device and the "info" pane where I can setup all my sync data with PIM programs that Outlook still remains there as default synced application. But the subfolder in contacts also the mail accounts that should be synced cannot be seen. The option to force itunes to overwrite the calendar, contacts, notes and mailaccount data on the iphone no matter what can be selected. But when i do the synchronisation all of these options are unmarked again.
    Atm I'm thinking of tracing the problem down with Filemon.

  • Issues with Google Calendar subscriptions syncing.

    Until today, the calendars I subscribe to on Google Calendar were showing up in my Calendar app (and by extension, Notification Center). Now they're gone, and I didn't change any settings. When I go into Calendar preferences the subscribed calendars don't even show up in the 'Delegation' tab where they used to. How can I get them back?

    Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I am guessing you setup the http://www.google.com/mobile/apple/sync.html
    Please keep in mind that this service is still in Beta. So you may find that certain features do and do not work as you are experiencing. You may find some additional settings options for google calendars at

  • Syncing issues with google ( I think )

    I have a MobileMe subscription, and wanted to have my address book synced on my devices and my Google account. This where everything went wrong. My consolidated contacts on my laptop went from around 900 to over 20k. and then my issues went extra crazy when every address book on my Laptops and iOS devices had different number of contacts and lots of duplicates.
    I tried to disable syncing with google , but it still syncs with it (it shows when there is a conflict).
    I need help with this.

    iSync (this forum) is only for syncing Contacts & Calendars to a non-Apple mobile phone via a local USB or Bluetooth connection. Neither MobileMe or Google use iSync.
    I'd suggest asking in the Address Book forum, or the MobileMe forum.

  • Syncing issues with 3GS ical and address book

    I have been using Entrourage 2008 with success for a good few months - had a few issues to start with but thought I'd cracked it!  However, I have now found that when I syn my 3gs I have to ensure that I tick replace information in the itunes sync before I sync.  If I don't then I get hundreds upon hundreds of duplicate entries in calendar and .. any new contact details entered onto the iphone are wiped out this way - so how can I sync with combining the information without bringing back duplicates to the calender.  Please help!  Driving me batty! 

    The other thing I have a problem with is iCal.  Even though I have successfully synced the iphone with iCal - there is 'nothing' in the iCal calendar at all!! But it all shows exactly right on the iphone!!  It appears to be drawing the sync via iCal taking it from Entrouage - must be!  ..  there are no entries at all in iCal and only one Calendar called Entrougage.  Completely confused!!  Thought Google Calendar may be of better help so I have just tried that and can't import directly from Entrouage only from iCal and of course it tells me that there is nothing in iCal...  Uuummm ????

  • 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?

  • Sync issue with Outlook Calendar

    I just got my first BB - the Pearl 8120.  I installed the Desktop Manager v4.6 off the BB web on an XP tablet pc.  I set it up to syncronize with my outlook 2003.  The sync worked fine for the contacts, however, when it started syncing the calendar, it started up saying it was reading from MS Outlook Calendar and read through the items until it reached 2096/13344.  It stalled for about 30-45 seconds and then started up again until it reached 4613.  It stalled again, but started up again.  At record 6089, a message comes up that says "Intellisync - The operation terminated unexpectedly".  I push "ok" and it returns to the desktop manager.  If I push sync again, it comes up and says "Intellisync - unknown error reported".  I have to close out of the desktop manager and restart to have it sync again.  I tried syncing just the notes and it worked fine.  I also sync'd the tasks with no issues.  However, everytime I try syncing the calendar, it bombs out.
    I tried to see if there was a suspicious calendar entry in outlook, but I can't find which entry it is bombing out on (just the number - the entries listed in the log don't appear to be in a specific order).
    I turned off my anti-virus and had the same luck.
    I also went into the advanced section of backup and restore to delete the database (recommendation from BB website technical support), but there are no databases listed at all for the computer databases.
    I have been using hotsync from Palm to sync with my palm.  Active sync is also installed on my system.
    Any ideas?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok- I think I found a solution.  AT&T directed me to a BB document KB01451 which shows you how to turn on advanced logging capability.  Evidently, I had a few records in my Outlook database where the date codes were corrupted for some unknown reason.  I followed the directions to turn on the logging.  Then, do a sync.  After you get the error message, look in the tif.log using notepad and scroll to the bottom of the document.  Within the first few lines, you will see the subject line.  Go into Outlook calendar and go into the advanced find.  Type in the subject line and have the search look for the subject title.  If you have more than one entry with the same name, you can probably figure out the specific record with a location or some other identifying mark.  If not, you need to process all the records you found.  What I did was open up the record - each corrupted record had a reoccurance set.  I went into the reoccurance tab located under tools.  I selected ok and acknowledged the warning it would give me about changes to some events may be changed.  I then saved the appointment.  I then went into the directory of the logs and renamed the logs.  You can also just erase them if you don't want to keep track of them.  By the way, you will probably have to shut down the desktop manager and Outlook in between the errors - you may have to close outlook through the task manager as it gets hung due to the error.  You just have to keep going through the process until you find all the corrupted records - I had 6 in my file of 13k records.  I have no idea why this was happening - the records were from many years ago to a few weeks ago....not a good sign!!  My Palm didn't seem to have an issue with these records, so I don't know why they were an issue with the BB....but I am up and running after several hours of messing with this - hopefully this will help someone else.

  • Sync issue with google contacts.

    Just noticed that my contacts had not updated since Jan 2010. After conferring with Motorola did a factory reset. Put everything back in. Contacts were good for a couple of days. Now getting a message problem with sync. However gmail, calendar, facebook and picsa are syncing fine. Just the contacts.
    Anyone got any suggestions. I have had the phone since before January without any other issues.
    No apps that should interfere with process.

    What is the difference. When I click on Contacts it shows the same as My Contacts except that My Contacts shows the groups broken down. Contacts lists alphabetically with the groups to the right and My Contacts lists the groups under it with the contact listings to the right.
