Calendars :Google and Ical
HOw do I get Google calendar and ical on my Fascinate. I registered Google calendar on my computer with an authorization code but it does not show up on my phone.Also is there a way to make my phone "discoverable" for my apple computer to sycnh ical with my mobile device. Ical says my mobile is not "discoverable ", even though I have the bluetooth turned on
o set up CalDAV support for Google Calendar in Apple's iCal, follow these steps:
Open Apple iCal, go to Preferences and then the Accounts tab.
Click on the + button to add an account.
In the box that pops up, enter a description for the account and your Google Account username and password.
Under Server Options, add the following URL:
https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user
Replace '[email protected]' with the email address that you use to log in to Calendar. Make sure to include the '@domain.com' portion (which is @gmail.com for Gmail users) in this section.
DO NOT substitute your username for 'user' at the end of the URL.
Leave the Use Kerberos v5 for authentication option unchecked.
Click Add.
Under the Delegation tab, select the calendars you'd like to add to iCal by checking the boxes next to them. You may need to hit refresh to get the latest list of calendars.
Add your email address to your Address Book card by selecting Add Email. You'll be prompted to add your email address only if your address is not already in your Address Book.
You won't be able to invite or email guests to Google Calendar events within iCal if your address is not in your Address Book.
Your Google Calendar will now appear in iCal's list of calendars, and changes you make to your Google Calendar in iCal will be reflected when you sign in to Google Calendar.
Event information will automatically refresh every five minutes. You can change this interval by opening the iCal > Preferences > Accounts menu and selecting a new refresh interval under the 'Refresh calendars' drop-down. Keep in mind you can also force a refresh by selecting a calendar and pressing the Appleand R keys at the same time.
Calendars that are checked but disabled have already been added to iCal - you

Google and ICal issues since Safari upgrade
After we recently upgraded Safari, when I add an event to my google calendar or to my ical, which are synced, it shows up twice on the ical calendar. This only happens for my events--no one else's in our family. I am the main person on the account. Also, we are not able to see Google Calendar on safari since we upgraded.
I am trying to publish my google calendar of events onto my web page. In Firefox the calendar displays and all events show up fine. However, in Safari, my google calendar shows up but none of the events are displayed. I have checked & double checked that the sharing settings are correct in google calendars!! I've even made sure to empty all cashes Can anyone help me understand why it works in Firefox but not with Safari??

Exchange, google, and ical
iCal's support for exchange calendar and google calendar is great!
Here is my situation. I use iCal to manage my exchange calendar, which is auto and wirelessly sync to my Blackberry. I also use iCal to manage my google calendar, which sometimes my son can add something on it. All events show on iCal fine. But I would like my google calendar events to also auto/wirelessly show up on my blackberry. Is there a way to do it?
Thanks in advance.From searching online this appears to be a common bug. iCal alarms will not pop up, or have a random pattern. While I've been typing this two alarms have not appeared.
Changing the "turn off alarms" option in preferences has no effect, neither does deleting the cache files as someone else has suggested. From my digging around it looks like this started with Leopard.
Some people have suggested that rebooting is a temporary fix to this problem, but I don't want to reboot on a regular basis (if I wanted to do that I'd go back to my Windows laptop).
It defies belief that a calendar program can not remind you of events. Interestingly, when I sync to my Nokia N95 every reminder appears fine. In fact this is the only way I have now of not forgetting meetings.
Can we try and assimilate all instances of this in one thread for Apple Support to look and and get some sort of coherent view of the problem? Also please leave details about your versions of OSX, iCal & hardware Thanks.

Error 302 returns with Google and iCal 6.0
OK, so upgraded to Mountain Lion and now I am back to the dreaded Error 302 with multiple asks for my googlemail password. Is there any known solution to this? The message reads: 'The URL https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/**mygoogleaddress**/user/ enountered HTTP error 302. Make sure the URL is correct.' The password entering scenario doesn't change anything (as usual).
This was an old problem which was mostly solved and stable under 10.7.4 but seems to have returned.
Many thanks for any help
JamesI have this problem also, Today.
Previous days / weeks , calendar on Mountain Lion worked fine and in sync with google.
Problably it's a google login problem from third party applications. ( I have the same issue with fantastical )
On the other hand Mail where i use google's imap service, works fine.

Problems with Repeating Events on Palm and iCal
Hi,
I'm having a problem with daily-repeating events entered into either my Palm or iCal. When I put events in my palm and sync them to iCal, the iCal calendars look right, but then the Palm events become truncated,i.e. only the first day of daily event will be visible. If I do nothing but just sync again, the events in iCal become weirdly duplicated, i.e. if an event had two repeats, the "original" occurrance will be there, along with a second, starting on next day of the series, lasting for the same number of repeats. Is there any way to make one calendar the overwriting calendar while using iSync? Or do you know of some other fix? This problem doesn't seem to affect other repeating events, either monthly or yearly.
Thanks
20" iMac with Intel Mac OS X (10.4.10) 500 GB HD, 2GB RAM 60GB Video iPodAs I just posted in another thread, there are a whole series of 'representation disconnects' between the Palm calendaring application and iCal.
While this article— iSync: About Syncing Recurrent Events Between iCal and Palm OS Based Devices—would lead to you believe that iSync is primarily the issue, it's not: this behavior occurs primarily because of the differences between the calendaring programs in each environment, and only secondarily because of the manner in which records are pushed and pulled by the synchronization framework.
iSync itself is simply another compliant sync client, and there is unfortunately no workaround for the issues delineated in the article. -

HT2513 google calendar and iCal
WIthin my Google calendar, I created a calendar for each of my family members. All events are visible on my MAC in iCal. On my iPhone and iPad, only my events are visible. What is going on?
Hi,
On your iOS devices open the Calendar app. Then press the Calendars button at the top left. Make sure all the calendars you want are ticked there.
Where the Google calendars appear on iCal would depend on how you add them. If you connect using the iCal > Preferences > Accounts pane then the Google CalDAV calendars will appear under their own section, not under "On My Mac". However there are third party add-ins that put them under the "On My Mac" section.
Best wishes

ICal+iPhone Calendar+Google Calendar and mobile me
I have an iPhone 3g 2.1.... i am running the most recent version of Mac OSX and i have the newest iCal installed on my mac... My google calendar syncs with iCal through CalDAV. I also have Mobileme and it syncs with iCal. I want to be able to have a sync between iCal,Google Calendars and iPhone. I thought this would work with Mobileme.When i set up my calendar and google calendar it creates a different calendar.... I need the same calendar synced between all three..

IE: you don't have to sync your iphone with your computer. Instead, when you edit or add an event in your google calendar it will automatically update your iphone's calendar over the cell network, without you doing anything. Also, if you add or edit an event on your iphone's calendar, it will automatically update your google calendar as well. That way, you don't have to mess with ical. Just use google calendar and your iphone's calendar.
Since you've already got your iCal synching with your google calendar via CalDAV, your iCal will come along for the ride.
Thus, you can do all this for free, without mobileme, and without even having to plug your iphone into your computer to synch it.
Go to this website to check out Nuevasync. http://www.nuevasync.com/ You have to sign up for a free account, but it doesn't take long and they won't spam you or anything. Then go to "device setup instructions" and It will tell you how to set it up on your iphone. I've been using it for about 3 months now and it works great. (I don't work for them or anything, just love their service!)

I've considered using NuevaSync, but it looks like it will use my gmail contacts instead of address book? Is this true? I'd prefer to keep the address book.
Honestly, If I was able to edit calendars that I have synced with iCal from Google through CalDav(CalDev?) I'd be fine, (Right now iCal syncs with Google and my iPhone synce with iCal), but when I add an event on the iPhone, it doesn't allow me to edit any of the synced calendars. I can only edit a separate, unsynced calendar. Does anyone have any idea how to edit a synced calendar? -

I have an iPhone 4. When I use iCal (which is now synched to my Macbook) which is housing my google calendar, I can't invite anyone to my events in iCal. I have to go to the google calendar website and schedule it from there. My wife has a 4S and she can do it right from iCal on a google calendar. What am I missing?

How do I move google calendar events to iCal?
how do I move google calendar events to iCal?
ab1268,
I'm trying to do this very thing. I have multiple google calendars set up (one for each kid, my husband etc.). I want to move to iCal exclusively. Based on your note above, should I export each individual calendar within ical. Remove each from the iCal account and then reimport then into ical? I suppose the risk is low b/c the data still exists in google.
Please advise - I would hate to misstep. Very new to the apple world (aside from iphone / ipad).
Thanks! -
Hi.
Since upgrading to Mavericks (inc. latest update today), a perfectly harmonious environment of Entourage > Apple Calendar > Gmail > Android phone has fallen apart. I understand that this is down to Apple removing local sync services in the Mavericks 'upgrade', so I am now manually 'syncing' Entourage calendar events to Apple Calendar (Version 7.0 (1835.1)) by copying/dragging them across teh Calendar and syncing to Android via Gmail account.
Now, events in Apple Calendar are being duplicated - even if I create them in Apple Calendar.
And, when I delete one of the duplicated entries in Apple Calendar, both disappear from Google calendar and Android phone - and then the other in Apple Calendar.
This does not happen with all events, but I cannot figure out:
a) why duplicates are appearing and disappearing for some events, or;
b) what differs between the events that duplicate and those that do not.
Also 'in the mix', is a couple of third party apps that I think i should mention:
1. SyncMate - which I used successfully to sync my Android and iMac 2yrs and decided to uninstall post-Mavericks 'upgrade', and;
2. BusyCal, which I installed to trial as a fix post Mavericks 'upgrade' and uninstalled.
Both thrid party apps refuse to compeltely uninstall. I have gone through forums and trawled through Libraries to manuallly remove all residue of these apps, but they still pop up and prompt from time to time.
I mention the last bit regarding SyncMate and BusyCal, in case their residues are the cause of the Calendar duplications issue originally posted.
Can anyone please shed some light on a fix to both problems? I am dirty as all **** on Apple for the undocumented changes in the Mavericks 'upgrade' and am very close to going back to Windows (my iMac is an Intel model).
Ed.Thanks Eric.
I have pasted the Etrecheck output at the foot of this post.
Something I tested earlier that had an intersting outcome..... I created two test events; one in 'iCal' and one in Google Calendar. The latter quickly sync'd and created duplicate entries in 'iCal', but kep tto singel instacnes in Google and Android. The event created in 'iCal' did not duplicate and sync'd properly a single instance to both Googe Calendar and my Android. Neither tests created duplicates on the Android phone.

Sync Calendars like "Calendar", "Home", and "Work" with Google Calendar
When I go into the iCal program on my mac, I have three calendars that I assume iCloud/iCal creates automatically for you. The ones that are showing up for me include: "Calendar", "Home", and "Work". All of these three calendars are under the iCloud subheading. Under the Gmail subheading, I have my google calendar. I would like to be able to sync these three iCloud calendars with my google calendar, as when I create a new event in iCal, it does not show up in Google Calendar. How can I make this happen? Also, when I create an event from Google Calendar, it shows up on iCal and all of my iOS devices, however, it does not show up in iCloud.com's calendar. Why is this, and how can I fix it?

You can't. That's not how it works.
In the iCal app, indiviudal calendars exist either locally on you Mac or in the "cloud" on a server like iCloud, Google, Yahoo!, Exchange etc.
Logging on to your iCloud account at icloud.com will only gain you access to your iCloud calendars much as logging on your Google Calendars account will only gain you access to your Google calendars.

Why, when MobileMe was shuttered, does Apple NOT support calendar subscriptions for iCal (Calendar)?
I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot migrate my Dutch, U.K., Islamic, or Catholic holiday subscriptions. I had a heck of a time getting my Detroit Tigers Baseball team schedules migrated (but Major League Baseball supported the subscriptions, so it occurred). As I work internationally, having these calendar subscriptions on the new Calendar would be very useful.
If one goes to the Apple site, and seeks calendars [http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/index1.html], they are shunted to MobileMe [https://www.icloud.com/mobileme/not_found/], with the note "MobileMe is closed. Go to iCloud." But, I do not see how to get subscriptions from iCloud.
Thanks.The problem is that many of these calendars were hosted on MobileMe. I actually tried about 20 at random, and only two worked! Not all of the failures were ex-MobileMe, some were on other servers but produced 'File Not Found'.
Strangely, this one worked despite its URL:
http://ical.mac.com/ical/UK32Holidays.ics
Until the people who publish these calendars (it's not Apple, they are third-party) wake up and find alternative servers these calendars are not available.
There may be other sources which work - try Googling. -
Trying to wrap my head around iCloud's capabilites right now.
In System Prefs, there is the Mail, Contacts and Calendars setting. In there, I can set up syncing with contacts and calendars via a Google account there. However, when I open up iCal (aka calendars) and Address Book (aka contacts), they ALSO have their own seemingly independent syncing options.
I'd ideally like to keep a copy of my contacts and calendars synced through Google and iCloud.
What is the optimal way to do this?
Thanks in advance...A) Contacts)
1. Open www.icloud.com
2. Open Contacts
3. Mark All Contacts > CMD + A
4. Click on the small icon in the lower left corner
5. Choose Export vCard...
6. Open your "Address Book" on your Mac and choose "File > Import"
B) Calendar)
At the moment there is no option to download/export all the data, but you could share the calendar back to your Mac by opening the www.icloud.com website, then...
2. Open Calendar
3. Click the samll "Share" button behind the name of every calendar and share it with your account.
or
Add your wife's account just temporary on your Mac (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account), then
2. Open "Calendar" on your Mac
3. Wait until it finished synchronizing all the of her events
3. Mark the Calendar by clicking on the name of your wife's calendar
4. Open the menu "File > Export" + safe the file on your desktop
5. Delete your wife's account again in Settings
6. Open the calendar again
7. Open the menu "File > Import" + choose the file from your desktop
8. Choose your preferred calendar
