Can't get shared Gmail calendars to work (Exchange)

Long time Android user bought an iPhone 5 last night. Having serious trouble getting shared Google calendars to display.
I have my Google account set up as Exchange. That seemed to go through smoothly and my main Google calendar shows up just fine. I then went to https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect and all of my calendars appear. I put checkboxes in the ones I wanted to sync to my iPhone, but they did not show up in my iPhone Calendar app. Waited and waited, never showed up.
I even deleted my Exchange account completely and re-added it. Still, only the primary calendar shows up in Exchange.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've been to that iphoneselect website from both my iPhone using the Safari browser, and from my computer using Chrome browser, and both browsers show the calendars I want to sync as having check marks in the boxes. Those calendars simply do not sync. Is there possibly some issue with Google not being aware that I have an iPhone since I had an Android for so long?
If I go to m.google.com/sync from my iPhone browser, it does not show up with a device select page. It just shows up with a generic Google sync page, where I can click a "Calendar" icon, then choose "Sync with a mobile device," then choose "Apple device" and it takes me to a settings page that ultimately leads me to the same check box webpage ashttps://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect. Which, as I said, already shows check marks in the calendars that I want.
I read this entire thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4310898?start=45&tstart=0.  It seems to suggest that Google or Apple is making it so you cannot get shared calendars using Exchange any more, and that you have to do it by setting up a new account for calendars as just a regular "Gmail" account (instead of Exchange).
Anybody know how to fix this?  Is it not possible to view multiple calendars using Exchange anymore??

I was able to get my shared calendars to show up in my iPhone Calendar list only after visiting https://m.google.com/sync/settings/iconfig/ in the iPhone Safari browser.  That page lets me manage the Google Sync devices (e.g. iPhone, iPad), each has its own Settings page where I must click the checkbox to sync each shared calendar.  Once I saved those device-specific settings, I was able to see the extra calendars on the iPhone.

  • How can i delete shared gmail calendars on my Mac's calendar?

    Hello,
    My company's email, calendar, etc is set up with the Google Apps. I created a Gmail account in my Mac (Running Yosemite) so I could sync the Calendar.
    In the Gmail calendar, you can view calendars from teammates additional to your own to make life easier when setting up meetings, etc. Every time I add a teammate's calendar in Gmail, that new calendar is also synced in my Mac. Initially it was pretty cool, but what has happened now is that even though I delete the additional calendars in Gmail, these deletions are not replicated to my Mac, so I'm having to handle about 10 calendars and every time these other people receive invitations I have them on my Mac. The most I can do is "unselect" them in my Mac calendar but eventually somehow they get activated or "selected" again. Below a picture of what I see in my Mac.
    How can I delete these calendars on my Mac?
    Thanks in advanced for the help!

    Welcome to the Apple communities.
    I'm not all that sure that I fully understand your question. However if you are trying to delete the groups on the left-hand side of your address book, then simply click on them once to highlight them and use the delete key on your keyboard to delete them.
    Any contacts within those groups will stay in your main account and will not be deleted along with the group heading.

  • HT4901 i can´t get the iCloud Calendars to work

    I can not synchronize contacts and calendar, I turned them as it is described in the manual. but it does not work

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Contacts
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
    Calendars
    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.

  • Can't get jabber/gmail account to work!

    Hi,
    I have an account with gmail and I'm trying to use it for a new account in iChat by setting up a new account in Preferences.
    In the Jabber ID field I have entered my gmail email addrress: [email protected], and then my gmail password. When I click to log on I am told that the username or password is incorrect. Am I filling out the fields incorrectly?
    Thanks for your time!

    Hi,
    In some places an @gmail.com and @googlemail ID seem interchangeable.
    However iChat likes it to be the one you see when you Login to the Google pages
    As well as checking the Server Name (iChat 3 pulled through the @googlemail.com or @gmail.com as the server name as it did with other Jabber Servers), that Defcom has had you check - check the ID name you are using as suggested above.

  • TS3899 Why can't I get my Gmail account to work after my ipad reset?

    Took my ipad to Apple store due to a software problem which was fixed by doing a reset. I then restored and backed up/sync'd my ipad in ITunes and iCloud. Now I can't get my gmail account to work on my iPad. It won't send or receive emails and I keep getting the message that my user name or password are incorrect, which I know they are not. The message is "the user name or password for imap.gmail.com is incorrect"...  I tried deleting and re-adding the account, powering down the iPad but to no avail. I can log into to gmail on my computer so I know I have the correct password.  Any thoughts or ideas? Don't really want to go back to the Apple Store again....

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • I can't get text-to-speech to work in Mountain Lion

    I am running a MacBook Pro Retina with mountain lion and I can't get text-to-speech to work. I have selected the text and pressed the key to initiate it, but it just doesn't start to talk.

    (cross-posting from another thread)
    I'm having the same problem. It's as if my iPhone and MacBook Pro now have two separate calendars.
    Basically, I have a MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion, 13", late 2011) that I sync via USB with an iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1). Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, all of my iCal events would sync flawlessly. But none of the events I've created in iCal (Calendars) since upgrading have synced to the iPhone. Likewise, no new events that I create on the iPhone Calendar will sync to iCal. Also, changes to an existing event (even one created before upgrading to Mountain Lion) don't get synced either.
    Everything else seems to be syncing just fine though (music, apps, contacts, etc).

  • I can't get Norton Safe web to work. (I've just upgraded to Norton 360 from NIS 2011 on which Safe web worked OK).

    I can't get Norton Safe Web to work inFirefox since I upgraded to Norton 360. I was previously running NIS 2011 and it worked fine then.

    Actually when you have created an ad hoc network using Internet Sharing your Mac is supposed to have a self-assigned IP.
    What I suggest that you do is turn everything off on the Mac and tell the iPad to forget the Internet Sharing network, then restart the Mac and the iPad. Next slowly restart Internet Sharing on the Mac and when that is set up corectly try to connect to the network from scratch with the iPad. If you password protect your Internet Sharing network I suggest that you use the Other... option on the iPad; enter the network's name, select the correct protection scheme and finally enter the password and Join.
    This issue should have nothing to do with your modem or router, this is all Mac and iPad.

  • How do I turn off notifications for shared GMail calendars?

    I use GMail and have several shared calendars for work. I have added these calendars to iCal on my iPhone 5 running iOS8. Through iCal, I have the settings so that only 2 calendars from my shared GMail calendars show up on my phone, however, there is one un-checked calendar (that has a daily event) that notifies me every single day of the event the next day! There are no alerts set for these events on the Google Calendar settings and the calendar isn't even supposed to show up on my phone's calendar, yet I'm still notified. Any ideas how to fix this or is it just a bug?
    Thanks,
    Jessie

    I can't get my gmail app to send alerts after doing update. I'm using iphone 5.  Any ideas?

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
        1.    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
        2.    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
        3.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
        4.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
        5.    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
        6.    Restart your mobile device.

  • I have a macbook pro version 10.7.5 and my mailbox will not open at all and comes up with a quit message even though it is not open. how can i get into my account. it works on my iPhone an i have internet and all other functions working on my computer

    I have a macbook pro version 10.7.5 and my mailbox will not open at all and comes up with a quit message even though it is not open. how can i get into my account. it works on my iPhone and i have internet and all other functions working on my computer

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • How can I get my web cam to work in Adobe Connect ?

    This is actually an end user's question that I am having trouble answering to...
    We use Adobe Connect to give online language classes, the end user is one of the students.
    I cannot find the right Support answer to give him.
    Problem:
    My camera does not work when I connect to Adobe's rooms but camera works fine with other software.
    Even though I suspected my old camera was working fine, yesterday I went ahead and bought a new camera. 
    I thought perhaps my webcam software may have been a problem, so I bought a different type camera with different software. 
    Even after removing all the old software, same result:  
    I surmised the problem might be caused by my firewall and security software, so once I tried changing the permissions for Adobe, and my Webcam, but that didn’t work.   
    Another time, I restarted my computer right before class and then turned off my firewall completely so there would be no interference but to no avail. I’m totally perplexed.  
    Isn’t there anyone else experiencing a similar problem?   Has anyone else found a solution? 
    I run Windows Vista with McAfee Internet Security Software.  I always reboot the computer before class and open no other programs other than Google Chrome. 
    I now have a brand new Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Camera with LifeCam 3.5 Webcam Software. 
    I test my camera before going online.  It always works fine.   Then I shut down the camera program and login into class.   
    When I “connect webcam” in the room, the light on my camera comes on (suggesting that it is ON), but only a black image is transmitted to the room.

    Check to see if you have Google Voice installed. If so, remove it and see
    if your problem vanishes. If not Google Voice, check to see if you have
    any other communications software which interacts with your cam and
    disable it. This was the problem I had with a similar problem on a Mac.

    Thanks a lot Heyward for the swift reply !
    I sent the advice out to the end user, but unfortunately this wasn't the
    solution.
    His reply is below :-
    The default resolution of my new camera is already set at 640x360, but I
    went ahead and tried several lower resolutions (e.g. 424x240; 320x240; and
    160x120) but none worked in the room - camera still showed up as black
    blank screen.  Also, as far as I can tell, I don’t have the option of
    adjusting the frame rate.
    I started playing around with my Internet Security Settings to see if they
    might be playing a role. So far, all to no avail.
    Hmm...quite a tricky one - webcams always are - maybe if he can find a way
    to adjust the frame rate (?).
    He's going to fiddle about with the settings a bit more and see if
    something does the trick.
    If anyone has had a similar problem and found an ingenious solution,
    please jot on a note on this thread.
