Calendar (Lightning) will not connect to Google Calendar

I have read this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-lightning-google-calendar , but I still seem to be having some trouble getting Lightning to work with Google.
All I am trying to do is get read-only access to the calendar (read/write would be ideal, but it seems Provider for Google Calendar hasn't been compatible with Thunderbird/Lightning for a while), so I have done the following:
- Made my Google calendar public
- Copied the iCal URL
- Created a new calendar in Lightning using the Google iCal URL
I've tried every possible combination of 'http'/'https' and iCal and CalDAV, with no luck. None of my events/appointments will show up in Lightning at all, even though the calendars are 'successfully' created.
I'm using:
- Mac OS X 10.9.2 "Mavericks"
- Thunderbird 31.0
- Lightning 3.3
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks!! I was successfully able to install Provider 0.32 for Lightning 3.3, so I now have read/write access. Previously, when I got the incompatibility error with 0.32, I think I will still using Lightning 2.6, maybe. I had just updated Thunderbird/Lightning earlier today and hadn't re-tried the Provider.
Just wanted to note that I also tried the CalDAV with iffy success. It would not let me dismiss any reminders at all. When the calendar synced, I 27 reminders pop up, but every time I hit "Dismiss All", the window would disappear briefly, my calendar seemed to 'refresh', then all the reminders came back immediately.
Long story short, Provider is working, and I am extremely happy that I don't have to deal with Google Apps directly.
Thanks!

  • Will not connect to google, more than just a safari issue

    I am having an issue with one of my macbooks.
    It will not connect to only google.com that i have found so far.
    I have tried Firefox, and Chrome and the same thing, will not connect.
    I have tried ping www.google.com, which errors out but google.net works.
    All of the network settings match that of my MBP, which does connect.
    I have tried clearing the cache, deleting all .plist, deleting eveything in the cookies folder, checked parental controls, removed keychain to anything google, different browsers, uninstalled all widgets and add-ons, removed all apps i have installed since the issue appeared, I have manually changed the DNS to a couple of solutions i found here, then reset them to default and still will not work. I am simply out of ideas. If anyone is having the same issue and found a solution please let me know.

    You may have been infected by malware that you downloaded and installed.  The download was probably called "FlashPlayer.pkg".  If you still have it please don't trash it quite yet.  For the benefit of others in this community can you please upload it to http://www.virustotal.com.  Once you have done that copy the ID and report it back here along with the exact name of the file that you uploaded.
    If the results do not show anything in the status column next to ClamAV can you also upload it to http://cgi.clamav.net/sendvirus.cgi and in the description box include the keyword "macos".  If you know the name of the site where you downloaded it from, that would also be useful.  Then you should Trash it so you won't be tempted to run it again.

  • ICal not connecting to Google Calendar - HTTP 404 error

    Hi there
    I've just bought my first Mac, and I'm running Mountain Lion, just updated to 10.8.1. When I set the system up, I fed in the details of my Google account, and it merrily put my Gmail into the Mail app, and Notes also syncs. But, the Calendar app is giving me continual problems, with this same error message:
    "Your calendar couldn't be refreshed.
    The URL https://calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user///calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct."
    I've tried deleting and re-adding the Google calendar; the whole Google account; the iCloud account (because various fourms seem to think this is an issue) and none of it has helped. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    From an email from Google Enterprise support. This is encouraging. The fix I found (clear Calendar caches) was temporary. It lasted about an hour before I started getting the oddities again. Problem is definitely with Google Apps. Who really knows though . . . could be something in Apple's programming too.

  • Calendar will not sync with Google calendar. Won't accept my Gmail password.

    iPhone 5s 16GB (2.9 GB free), iOS 8.1.3
    When I attempt to enter an event in Calendar, I get a message "Password Incorrect.  Enter the password for the Gmail account "Gmail'".
    But when I try to enter my Gmail password, the app won't accept it and the same message appears.  And entries don't show up on my Google calendar..
    I tried turning off calendars in iCloud but that didn't help.  Also turned off all calendars
    This is not an operating system issue - keeps happening through several iOS updates. 

    Correction: Turned off all calendars in calendar app other than Google calendar for my Gmail account.

  • My iphone calendar suddenly will not sync but iPad calendar did sync

    I got an error msg saying try again (did but no luck) then msg said to replace calendar using info tab in iphone preferences...did and now calendar is wiped clean. Tried turning off computer and iphone then back on and resyncing but still calendar in iphone will not sync. Contacts etc seem ok. Rechecked my settings and tried a sync with "all calendars" no luck...then tried again with Entourage calendar only which is my primary calendar and no luck. This is a sudden change as I have been syncing ok for 2 years. Any ideas? 

    Hey Oynkus,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You state you updated your iMac to OS X 10.8.5.  Did you update iTunes as well?
    If so, you may find the calendar sync options under Info.
    Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad - iTunes Help
    Sync contacts and other info with iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad
    Connect your device to your computer.
    Click the device button, then click Info.
    Select the items you want to sync.
    Click Apply.
    Take care,

  • On 13th of the month only, Firefox will not connect with Google.

    I only noticed on Dec 13th that Firefox v34 or v35 wiii not connect to any Google site on the 13th of the month. It occurred on 13th January too. After that I experimented with the date reset facility in Windows XP, ran a reboot and found I could reproduce this problem. Google search, maps, analytics are all affected and browser eventually says "server times out" with a plain grey background.
    I have devised a routine that backsteps and then jumps for a date so that "the 13th" never happens again on this system.

  • Need to be able to use and sinc Google calendar, I can not get enhanced google email plug in for some reason

    I finally got a gmail account and have tried to create a calendar for my family using google calendar.  The calendar appears on my Torch 9810 but will not sinc with google calendar.  I keep reading that I need enhanced google mail plug in but can not find where to get this plug in.  I am not tech savy, so any help would be appreciated.  I am a long time Blackberry customer (15 years) and in the almost 2 years of having the Torch, I am ready to huck it out the window and give up.  I loved my Bold, the Torch does not compare in my ease of use.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    From what I understand, Google discontinued support for the Enhanced PlugIn as well as many other things...but that's a change that Google made, not BlackBerry. Further, via the available OTA sync capability for Google Calendar, only the primary calendar can be synchronized...no others.
    So, I'm a bit unclear about your specifics...it sounds like you created (on Google) a sub-calendar for "family", and somehow got that to appear on your BB, but cannot get it to sync OTA with Google. But all of that sounds contradictory to what I understand...in that you should not have been able to get that sub-calendar to appear on your BB at all since Google only supports the primary calendar.
    So some further details about all of that will likely help greatly in understanding, and hopefully then providing you with useful guidance.
    Thanks and let us know!

  • Calendar on MacBook Pro using Mavericks 10.9 will not sync with Google Apps for Business

    Ever since the Mavericks upgrade, I have had problems syncing my MacBook Pro Calendar with my Google Apps for Business Accopunt.  When Mavericks first came out, I could do a work-around and set up a second CalDev account and that worked for a while.  But with the most recent update to Mavericks, in part apparently to solve Google integration issies, the Calendar app will not sync either through the mail account setup in System pref, or by setting up a separate CalDev account.  I have no functioning Calendar on my MacBook, thogh the CalDev account option works fine on my iPhone and iPad, and of course all work on the PC with Google Apps Sync.
    Appreciate any advice, or better appreciate if Apple were to get this right ASAP.

    Thank you for your answer, unfortunately that is not the solution. I found the plug-in where it was already properly installed in the Root Level Library>Internet Plug-ins Folder.  It was NOT to be found in the [User Name]>Library>Internet Plug-Ins Folder, so I copied it there from the Root Level Folder, Rebooted, deleted all cookies, signed in to Netflix, and I still get the same:
    Thanks for installing
    Once installation is complete please restart your browser to watch this movie.
    So, I tried a complete re-install of Mavericks OSX 10.9, from scratch. I checked all Internet Plug-In Folders and the latest version Silverlight Plug-in is in all of them. Still, I get the same:

  • Deleting event in iCal 5.0.1 not syncing with Google Calendar

    When I delete an event from iCal, it does not sync with Google Calendar.  However, when I create an event in iCal, it syncs just fine with Google Calendar. Creating and deleting events from Google Calendar syncs fine with iCal.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    12/13/2011 - call to google tech support
    Recent support call with Google: iCal deleting events still broken.  this is big for us.  We have users that have accounts for and/or subscribe to multiple calendars, and took a while to teach them to use iCal, so web based calendars will be foreign to them (even though I like the web based).  There is no timeline in place according to Google Tech Support.  I feel like the issue is really Apple's issue, so Google is waiting on them to fix, this type of urgency(or lack of) is right up their alley.  Oh well.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on alternate calendar apps for Mac?  Specifically for google calendars?
