Calendar question - not syncing Gmail

I recently created a new Gmail account. My old Gmail account is my Apple ID, so everything was synced to that. I have the Gmail app set up as my new email account now, but it will not sync the calendar. In settings, under Gmail, it shows the correct email, and calendars are turned "on." Why is it not finding my calendar updates though? Is it because my Apple ID is my old email? I've linked the two email accounts, shared calendars with both accounts, but it's still not working
Suggestions???
Thanks!

Somehow you must be missing a detail, there's no reason for the Calendar app to not see the GMail calendar if the GMail account has been created and Calendar setting is turned on.
In re-reading your posts there are a few fishy things:
1- Your Apple ID has no relation to this.  Even if your old GMail address is being used as your Apple ID that will have no effect on your Calendar.  The key question is, in Settings do you still have this old e-mail address set up as an account?  If so, delete this old GMail account from Settings/Mail if you're not using it.  Deleting this account will have no effect on your ability to buy things from the iTunes store.  You should only have the GMail account you're using entered into Settings/Mail.  Once you do that, make sure that Calendar is turned ON for this account, and make sure that this account is being used as the default Calendar account in Settings/Mail (in the Calendar section).
2- In your first post you said "I have the Gmail app set up as my new email account now"  The GMail app is only for mail, it does not provide Calendar support, so if all you did was add the app and sign into your GMail account, that's why your Calendar is not updating.  If this is what's going on, you need to add your (new) GMail address as an account in Settings/Mail.  If you're sure that you did this, there is no reason for your Calendar app to not see the caldendar associated with this account.
3- In your first post you said "I've linked the two email accounts, shared calendars with both accounts, but it's still not working"  I suppose you did this as part of your troubleshooting, but there should be no reason to link two GMail accounts to get your calendars to show up.

  • OS5, Calendar will not sync and back-up/restore question

    Wife downloaded iTunes 10.5 for the MBP and OS5 for the iPad yesterday. Everything seems ok with the exception of, the Calendar  will not sync to iCal. I now have 2 issues.
    I attempted to sync it twice  so I am assuming the data on the back-up is now what I could not get to iCal in the first place. The back-up now only shows the last one.
         I do not use Time Machine nor Mobile Me but do have a cloned bootable hd from the day before.  It has all of the iCal data on it, however OS5 now requires   iTunes 10.5, so it does not recognize the iPad.
    Can I go backwards to OS4 on the iPad somehow???
    Daryl

    going to "transfer purchases' does work - however the thermometer bar at the bottom reflecting apps, music, video, book, etc cpapcity fraks out, sliding left to right maybe 4 or 5 times during the process.  Have you ever seen this?
    After it is finished, the SYNC button is not longer darkened - so I thought it was safe to attampt an upgrade to OS05... which i am doing now... takes maybe 20 mins and then I normally get the error "the applications on this ipad cannot be verified" and the bottom thermometer bar zeros out all by my music.  The content and apps are all fine on teh ipad.  so strange.  I made an appointment with customer service tomrrow AM - but i do not think i should have to pay for this - i have never even used support before!
    I will update if it works - or re[eats the strange pattern again and does not update.
    Thanks for your time and help!

  • Razr Maxx Calendar will not sync with Exchange Calendar

    My Thunderbolt synced fine....just switched to the Razr Maxx Friday and the Calendar will not sync with my Exchange Calendar. Email and contacts are syncing fine.

    I guess I'm screwed.  My Razr HD calendar won't sync with Google - apparently all my events were on the phone calendar and not Googe calendar.  After following prior posts, I cleared the data on my phone's calendar - now my events are gone and I don't know when my next appointments are.  Any way to retrieve that data?  Any way to sync the two calendars - or to make sure the darn appointments are placed on the Google calendar and not the stupid phone calendar?
    You have to select the Google/Gmail account as the location where to save the event. In the screen where you are adding the info to create the event there is a spot for choosing which calendar to save it to. This is where you pick the Gmail calendar.

  • Calendar does not sync from Device to Outlook

    I am using a BB Style with MS Outlook. We do not have BES so I sync with a wire. I have set BB Desktop Manager to sync both ways but the calendar only syncs one way. Events I add to my device calendar do not sync to my desktop. Any ideas?

  • Calendar will not sync with Exchange server or most Google Calendars

    Hi,
    I am writing about my wife's brand new Samsung Charge on Verizon. We managed to setup both her gmail account and her work exchange server account fine, except for the calendars:
    Her Google calendar shows up fine, but I am unable to even see any other Google calendars that she has access to (both her own secondary calendars as well as calendars that others have shared with her) in order to select them to be visible.
    Her exchange calendar says it is enabled (on the list of available calendars), but no events at all show up.
    This behavior is with the latest software updates on the Charge (2.2.1 firmware, I510.EE4 build) using its stock calendar software. I did notice that if I use Smooth Calendar, it does list all of her Google calendars under its listing of available calendars, but it still only shows data from her primary calendar. This is also true using the Touch Calendar app, which leads me to believe that there is some problem within the Google Calendar sync software that is not allowing her calendars to appear correctly.
    Thanks!

  • TS3991 my iphone calendar is not syncing with icloud and my pc

    My Iphone 4 Calendar is not syncing with icloud and my PC - help

  • Palm Centro Verizon, Palm Desktop 4.1.4, Calendar WILL NOT SYNC

    as above.  I tried to install the V6.2 desktop that came with the phone; the Hotsync crashes every time it starts (some HS20Log.dll problem), so I installed 4.1.4.
    The calendar will not sync.  It hangs forever and ever.  Everything else syncs just fine.
    I brought my trusty M515 home, synced it with the home computer, then synced the Centro to get the data.  It synced ONCE (the calendar) and never again.
    I reformatted the disk and reinstalled the OS (XP SP3), got the same V6.2 hotsync problem and reverted to 4.1.4, and that's where I am now.
    Help.
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Glad you got things to sync, just a quick thought.
    4.1.4 is a rather old version of Palm Desktop.  I would have suggested you try 4.1.4E, as it was designed for later devices and has some updated USB drivers in it...

  • HT4759 why my calendar does not sync ; computer to iphone

    Why my calendar does not sync ; computer to iphone??

    I thought this was happening to me too recently, until I realized I had a second calendar open on my computer (I use Gmail).  I was entering events into my 'Home' calendar in iCal - which is not set up to anything.  I had to make sure my Gmail calendar was open.  I ended up having to transer a bunch of stuff over from my 'Home' calendar to my Gmail calendar.  If you are using iCal, you can see mutliple calendars open at once and it's not overly obvious to which calendar you are adding events.  I'm now real careful to have my Gmail calendar as being the ONLY calendar that is visible.

  • My exchange calendar will not sync.

    I installed, succesfully, my exchange email and contacts, but for whatever reason, my calendar will not sync. The error that pops up says that my email address is not valid. Any ideas?

    I somehow managed to fix this myself.  I am new to Mac.  What I did was go to Settings and deleted the Exchange account then I re-added it, quit all the windows, re-started the Mac and it all worked fine. 

  • Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

    Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
    are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
    I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
    Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

    I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
    both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
    Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
    I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
    update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
    And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
    I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
    Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !

  • IPhone sync to exchange server calendar does not sync any longer, mail is no problem.

    Hi we are running Exchange 2003 and we suddenly discovered some users now cant get their calendar to sync. If we add anything in outlook it wont show up in the iphone and it is the same the other way around.
    We done total reset on the phone, switched the phone to a htc mini and tried that same problem there the calendar does not sync. this is only happening for about 5 users out of 150 users. I have tried reset the profile in outlook.
    I dont know where to start looking to solve this issue.  Hope anyone can shed some light here

    Hi,
    Please try to collect IIS log and then use "activesync" as keyword to have a search.
    Also we can use logparser to analyze the log.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd919274
    Besides, please try to test if the issue would occur when we use those problematic iphone to sync with working user's mailbox.

  • Calendar does not sync consistently

    Ever since I added the iPad2 I have noticed that my calendars do not sync consistently. One week they match and the next week they do not. I will add events on my iPhone and they show up on my MBP and iPad2 as they are supposed to and the next time I check the events disappear. Any insight?

    Go to Sytem Preferences>iCloud on your Mac and make sure Calendars is checked.  Also, make sure you are adding the calendar events on your Mac to your iCloud calendar, and not a non-iCloud calendar such as On My Mac.  (Only your iCloud calendar syncs with iCloud.)  Go to the calendar preferences on your Mac, and on the General tab be sure you have selected your iCloud calendar as your default.

  • IPhone calendar does not sync to my Mac Pro

    Events entered on my iPhone 5 calendar do not sync to  iCal on my Mac Pro.  Events entered on iCal on the desktop are synced properly onto my iPhone.  I have Sync Calendars, All Calendars  checked in the info tab in iTunes.  I have tried restarting, repairing permissions, searching for unseen preferences ... but I can't find anything. 
    I'm on iOS 7 and Mountain Lion.  This all worked fine last week when I was still running 10.6.8 and iOS

    Only if you have iCloud enabled on both the iPhone and your Mac.

  • TS3988 calendar does not sync

    New items added to calendar on Mac do not automatically go to iPhone and vice versa.  Suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.
