Can't sync google calendar to ical

I had google calendar working perfectly using CalDav before updating to Mavericks. Even after the update it worked perfectly. Then I deleted my google account on Mavericks so I could get the email working again. Now Mac Mail works perfectly with GMail IMAP. But, I can't get iCal to work using caldav and google calendar. Anybody got this working, and if so, how? Google Calendar changed their servers a few months ago, but I have the correct url. Help!

I've been working at this for 2 days now.  I added my Google calendar in iCal a few days ago and it worked fine just by going through the internet accounts setup in Mavericks.  I deleted the account because I was having issues with duplicate contacts and such and now I can't add it again.

  • Can't enable Google Calendar in iCal

    I mistakingly deleted my Google internet account in Mavericks because I was having issues with contacts not syncying.  Now that I am trying to add it again, it won't let me.  I'm getting 2 different error messages:
    "Access to account “Google” is not permitted.
    The server responded:
    “403”
    to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation."
    The other error message I was receiving yesterday just said that a "secure connection could not be established".  I deleted my iCal cache files as suggested in another forum post which stopped that error message from coming up.  I have also set up the 2-step verification process through Google hoping that would solve the problem, but it hasn't.
    I feel like it's something I'm missing, but I'm tired of trying to figure this out on my own.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi there,
    I have tested this out on my backup disk and there is a slight modification to the method. Will highlight this with quotation.
    ================================================================================ ==
    It appears that once upgraded to Mavericks, the calendar folders are no longer compatible with the latest version of iCal. Hence why it crashes.
    To remediate,
    Close the iCal App
    Duplicate the folder (For Backup reason)     /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar
    Delete all content with in      /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar
    Go to:-
    System Prefences | Internet Account | iCloud
    Uncheck Calendars, Recheck Calendars
    Select the iCloud profile
    Press "-" to delete the whole iCloud profile.
    Recreate the iCloud profile by select "+" then iCloud
    Enter your iCloud Username and Password
    It will asked you if you wish to merge the database. (You may have to do this more then once)
    For every other google calendar
    Uncheck Calendars (if already checked), Recheck Calendars
    Hopefully this will recreate all the calender folders within /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar and start re-syncing.
    Once you are satified that all your calender are syncing, delete the /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar copy
    Good Luck.

  • How can I sync Google Calendar with my E75?

    This is driving me insane. I've searched and searched and searched the web for a way to sync my E75 unlocked phone with Google Calendar. 90% of the threads and comments Google digs up simply say, "It doesn't work." Some people seem to have manged to get it to work with some very minor variations on the following directions:
    1. On the E75, press the Menu key.
    2. Select Email.
    3. Remove the Mail for Exchange mailbox (if it currently exists).
    4. Select New from the home screen of the Email application.
    5. Press Start.
    6. Enter a fictitious email addres that you know does not exist.
    7. Press OK.
    8. Enter a fictitious password for the fictitious email address.
    9. Press OK.
    10. Select Mail for Exchange.
    11. Type in your Gmail username/email address.
    12. Press OK.
    13. Leave the Domain blank.
    14. Press OK.
    15. Type: m.google.com
    16. Press OK twice.
    17. Type in your Gmail password.
    18. Press Log in.
    19. Go to the home screen of the Email application.
    20. Select Settings.
    21. Select Personal information management.
    22. Select Applications.
    23. Select Calendar.
    24. Select Calendar sync (this will enable calendar).
    25. Go to the home screen of the Email application.
    26. Select Settings.
    27. Select Mail for Exchange.
    28. Select What to sync.
    29. Select Sync email (this will disable email).
    30. Select Back three times.
    31. Press Options.
    32. Select Synchronize.
    My problem is that my E75 Mail app doesn't have the Mail for Exchange option described in step 10. The rest of the procedure just goes down the tube at that point. After a great deal of research, I'm left with the impression that either something is wrong with my phone or these directions are out of date. Has anyone had recent experience configuring the E75 to work with Google Calendar either through MfE or through another (free) app?

     Hi there,
    didn't read your complete rant, it's clear you've disappointed by substandard product and/or mismatching expectations, I on the other hand have had a exceptional good experience with my N95. It's reaching old age now, so I can't wait for the N900. However I do see Nokia has a challenge to overcome, well two actually. Yes you're right they're trying too hard to create some Nokia-bounded platforms, instead of facillitating the connectivity between platforms. Recently saw some intresting concepts in the beta apps, but they require a similar nokia app on the other side. Well I'm very sorry Nokia, nowadays I don't even know the number of the person I'll be calling, do you really believe I know (or want you to tell me = $$?) who of my contacts has this app enabled?  With some good will and some fantasy I could say it's a part of brandpositioning and solidifing (or some other fancy BS ;-) ). Nokia however also seems to have an issue with postdevelopment integration and streamlining of their apps. Developing apps as more or less seperate entities might seem a sensible develment strategy and it probably is when combined with good (read efficient and thus "cheap") projectmanagement.  If a contact has a birthday mentioned in contacts, don't you think I would want to see that in my calendar? If I try to be smart, I give the input myself, but then what happens? When syncing I get 2 birthdays is my outlook calendar ;-( Similar ennoying feat happens with GPS locations, I´m using serach address, use contactlist. Have a guess where I´d like the coordinates to go to when saved....no it´s not a new and seperate entry in favourites which in turn is read by the address book, these things should have seamless integration.  User experience and ultimately satisfaction cannot be achieved by solely developing series of new and improved functionalities,  cause to us,  the consumer it´s not primarily a functionality. It´s actually a person, either in direct communication or otherwise stored for future communication. As a producer of these communication devices Nokia should show they understand this, preferably through their products. Regarding your issue syncing with Google Calendar, I'm assuming you're already using the calendar. Why not download the Google apps app? Or if you only want the calendar, take the standalone calendar app, Basically you'll have a mobilized calendar view with most of the functionalities there. Can't be online indefinetly? Just save the page locally, nothing you can't handle ;-) The solutions with either MfE reconfig or syncing with outllook/windows calendar in the middle are feasible too, however you do need to be carefull when setting direction and/or dominance of the sync relation. Multipoint syncing can become a severe headache if you haven't set it up proparly..... I've also included a google info mail, they send me some time ago. Loads of info&links, I'm sure there's a solution there which will fit your needs 
    greetz and goodluck

  • Can't sync google calendar with iPhone 5 iOS 7

    I am having problems syncing my google calendar to my iPhone 5 iOS 7. Contacts and mail work fine...calendar not so much. Any assistance would be helpful.

    JesusRamirez,
    The EOS Remote App version 1.1.0 that you can download from the App Store should be compatible with your iPhone 5S.  Your inability to connect may be caused by something else.  In order to determine what that is, I need some additional information.
    Are you unable to interface with the camera using the Remote App or are you unable to make a network connection with the camera?
    Do you receive any errors when you try to connect?
    When you set up the network connection between your iPhone and your EOS 6D, did your iPhone see the EOS 6D's network?
    If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

  • How can i import my calendar events from google calendar to ical?

    how can i import my calendar events from google calendar to ical?

    To 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//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 Apple and R keys at the same time.
    Calendars that are checked but disabled have already been added to iCal - you can remove them from within iCal.

  • ICal syncs Google calendar with iPad and iPhone but not MacBook Air

    Hi there,
    Sorry to post another thread about syncing issues, but the solutions posted in the ones I looked at didn't quite solve my problem, so I'm wondering if I'm having an issue that's specific to the way I've set things up with my devices?
    I created a Google account for the sole purpose of having a Google calendar that I could share with my Dad. We both access this Google calendar through iCal.
    My Dad generally checks or posts updates using iCal on his iPad and iPhone. Meanwhile, I'm using iCal on my MacBook Air, which FWIW is also running Snow Leopard. (I don't have an iPad or iPhone - this is my only means of accessing the calendar.)
    Any change he makes on the calendar will show up on both of his devices, but not mine. Any change I make will not show up on his devices.
    I logged into the Google account in a web browser (Chrome, FWIW) and checked the calendar through the same browser - all of his changes aren't showing up on it, but mine are.
    I had my Dad reload the same Google calendar in his devices (i.e. delete the account and add it back again) and confirmed he's using the right Google address and password. This doesn't do anything to solve the problem.
    What else am I missing? It's a little frustrating trying to fix this because my Dad's in another state so I don't see him that often, and even though I taught him how to use an iPad and an iPhone, he's still not the most computer literate person, so talking him through this is a little tricky.

    On the MBPro and the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Switch Calendars off then back on.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

  • Google calendar and iCal problem

    Hello
    I use the google calendar with iCal. And I use the google calendar week numbers and holidays.
    Before I installed lion, I had snow leopard and everything worked great.
    But now, with Lion, it doesnt.
    It's totally random, sometimes when I start iCal the week numbers and holidays are shown, but
    shortly, after it have synced the calendars the week numbers and holidays dissappear.
    And then I can try to restart it a couple a times, but nothing happens. But after a reboot it syncs, and then the
    week numbers and holidays appear again.
    Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

    Hi c014,
    had the same problem. Think I'll switch back to Snow Leopard in a few days, as it has not such a high amount of bugs and it is more stable. Addtitionally it doesn't exhaust your hardware in an extend, lion does.
    Let's get it to your problem:
    As a Lion, iCal and Google user I had the same problem. Just got it fixed by deleting the Google CalDAV Profile in the iCal settings. When done, just add your Google account to your iCal again and voilà, that gave me back all my entries including week numbers and holidays.
    Hadn't had the possibility to test if this solves the problem permanently. But I think so, as there are some other programs for example, that you can get back to work by reinstalling them, after they stopped working since Lion update.
    Hope this will help you

  • Iphone/google calendar and ical - not able to select the calendar

    Ok, I can get my google calendar to sync with ical (using caldav or whatever and not some subcription method) as well as sync to my iphone.
    My problem is entering a calendar event on my iphone. It always ends up in some other calendar. I can never change it. What am I doing wrong?

    BEWARE of the "replacement" - when they say they will replace it, they often mean with a refurbished device, they will not replace it with a new device.
    Because I bought my 4s from a different retailer, even though it is an Apple device that failed less than 24 hours out of the box, Apple will not give me a new phone - they acknowledged that it is a manufacturing defect, and couldn't understand why I was not satisfied with receiving a refurbished device.  This seems ridiculous to me - I'm a long-time, repeat customer - but that doesn't appear to matter.
    I've heard great things about Apple customer service, now that I've needed it, I've found it isn't so great after all.

  • Syncing google calendar delegates on itouch

    I had been using the gmail calendar and have several calendars on my gmail calendar besides the one attached to my gmail account. I was able to add those calendars to my ical on my apple laptop by creating "delegates." The calendar on my itouch syncs the gmail calendar from the ical on the laptop, but is not picking up the delegates. Any idea about how to get the ical on the itouch to access the "delegates" from my gmail calendar?
    Thanks

    Similar problem here. I can select the delegate calendars within iCal, but it simply doesn't sync any events for the delegate calendars. I'm also returned an error if I try to manually subscribe to the calendars, e.g. using a direct link from the Google calendar settings.
    Either way, I think it's all related to a known block Google have implemented to deal with an iCloud conflict. Keep an eye here for a solution...although it's been several months already obviously:

    NB. The iPhone select solution will get things rolling on any iOS devices.

  • Show google calendar in ical?

    I have a google calendar that I share with several work colleagues. Is there a way for me to add this calendar to iCal so it shows up on my computer, but does not sync, as when I download a 'special calendar' like U.S. Holidays?

  • Google calendars in ical over caldav go blank

    Sometimes (roughly 1/3 weeks) my google calendar in iCal goes blank - all events vanish.
    The events are still there when I look at the calendar online.
    I have ~5000 events over several years.
    I added the calendar via Callaboration.
    This is my default calendar.
    I have 3 separate machines that use caldav to access the same google calendar and they both have the same problem but generally not at the same time.
    Can anyone please help?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Just out of interest what should he Calendar list be named as iCloud or @me.com.
    It doesn't matter - you can name it whatever you want. It's purely a descriptive label, nothing more.
    If you want to change it, just go into the Mail, Contacts & Calendars system preferences pane, select the account in the left panel, click Details... on the right and enter the new name in the Description field.
    Also why when looking at File - New Calendar are both iCloud and my me.com account listed?
    It does the same for me too. It seems to be a bug. iCal seems to be seeing your AppleID as an extra potential place to store calendars, although it doesn't actually do anything if you try.

  • How do you link Google calendar to iCal in Maverick?

    Just downloaded Maverick (great) to my late 2008 aluminium laptop but cannot link Google Calendar with iCal.  In iCal tried deleting old account and re-entering but still iCal does not sync, although it still does on iPad and iPhone.  Any ideas?

    Hi there,
    I have tested this out on my backup disk and there is a slight modification to the method. Will highlight this with quotation.
    ================================================================================ ==
    It appears that once upgraded to Mavericks, the calendar folders are no longer compatible with the latest version of iCal. Hence why it crashes.
    To remediate,
    Close the iCal App
    Duplicate the folder (For Backup reason)     /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar
    Delete all content with in      /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar
    Go to:-
    System Prefences | Internet Account | iCloud
    Uncheck Calendars, Recheck Calendars
    Select the iCloud profile
    Press "-" to delete the whole iCloud profile.
    Recreate the iCloud profile by select "+" then iCloud
    Enter your iCloud Username and Password
    It will asked you if you wish to merge the database. (You may have to do this more then once)
    For every other google calendar
    Uncheck Calendars (if already checked), Recheck Calendars
    Hopefully this will recreate all the calender folders within /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar and start re-syncing.
    Once you are satified that all your calender are syncing, delete the /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar copy
    Good Luck.
