Does syncing your iphone iOS calendar with Google calendar overwrite what's currently in your iPhone calendar?

I have been syncing my iphone calendar over icloud. I want to sync it with my google calendar now, as well (my google calendar is currently blank and has no entries). If I set this up, will my iphone calendar get overwritten by my google calendar, ultimately erasing everything? The instructions I'd be using to sync my iphone calendar to my Google calendar are at the link below:

Thanks!

Though, to get you started, as is shown in step 1, you do need to export your calendars into google calendar....
Not true! According to http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=151674
By default only your primary calendar will be synced to your device. You can sync additional calendars by visiting the following page from any web browser:
https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect
(Google Apps users can go to https://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/your_domain/iphoneselect, replacing 'your_domain' with your actual domain name.)
Select the calendars you'd like to sync, and click Save. The selected calendars will display on your device at the time of the next sync.
I'm very happy to have found this thread (started on my birthday!) which has helped me use google calendar to sync the iCal calendar on my Cube running OS 10.4 to the iCal calendar on my iPhone 4. I'm now able to sync the iPhone to the Cube directly, but now it doesn't matter!
In order to sync the iCal calendar on my Cube with my google calendar I'm using BusySync.

IPhone 6, manual sync of contacts and calendar with Google?

I usually prefer a manual sync of things like contacts and calendar with Google, rather than an automatic periodic sync. I don't change my calendar or contact list very often, so manual sync works best for me. I could do this with Android, but with iOS if I sync contacts and calendar with Google, and then turn off that syncing, iOS wants to remove my Google contacts and Google calendar events from my phone. So I seem to have no choice, either auto-sync, or no Google contacts and calendar events at all.
Does anyone out there know of a way to manually sync my Google contacts and calendar events when I want to?
How often does the Google calendar and contacts sync get done? Maybe it isn't an issue, if it only does a sync when I change my Google contact list or Google calendar?
Anyways, I really don't like automatic, periodic syncing to a web site happening on my phone if I don't need them to happen.
Thanks.

I can help you with your calendar problem.
You'll need to export your calendar from google into iCal, and then start making all your changes to your iCal calendar.
I wrote up the procedure with some screenshots here!

I hope it helps.
About your contacts, I'm not sure I'd be able to give you good instructions since I haven't done the whole procedure myself. I did however, have my Address Books contacts synced with Google.
This post might help you. It talks about moving Google Contacts to your Address Book.
http://take-a-tech-tip.blogspot.com/2011/09/iphone-google-contacts-sync-and.html
That should get your contacts from Google to your address book. Then, you can set up iCloud to have your contacts synced, and that should put them to iCloud. You can check by going to icloud.com and seeing if it worked. Then, I imagine you would have to disable the Google syncing with your Address Book (if I remember correctly, your computer will tell you it has to do this once you enable iCloud syncing for contacts).

How to sync multiple iPhone calendars with Google calendars?

Hi
I have an iPhone 4S with 5 different IOS calendars setup on it. I have linked my iPhone 4S to Outlook calendars via iClouds so when I update any of the calendars it successfully updates all the calendars in Outlook. I now want to be able to sync all my 5 IOS calendars with Google Calendar - I don't mind not being able to 2-way sync and don't mind Google calendar being read only but I DO want Google Calendar to keep updated with any changes I make on my IOS calendars.
I've currently got my gmail account on my iPhone as a CalDav account but it only updates the primary IOS calendar. I want to be able to sync all 5 IOS calendars to Google calendar and keep it updated. How do I do this?
Thanks
Amanda

Sync Calendar with Google but Reminders with iCloud

I haven't upgraded to Mountain Lion yet, but I'm hoping someone can give me a good answer on this.
Currently I have an iPhone 4S (latest iOS) and a MacBook Pro running 10.7 / Lion (latest updates).
I sync Reminders via iCloud but not the Calendar... I still sync the Calendar with Google Calendar because I prefer it.
I want to carry on doing this in Mountain Lion but having read reviews and seen screenshots like this one it seems as though Calendars and Reminders are now part of the the same switch / toggle and therefore have to be done the same way.
Can anyone tell me if you can sync Reminders and Calendars independently in Mountain Lion?
Thanks

Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Calendar
BUT Don't forget to Sync All Events. This seemed to fix the syncing of missing items. Kinda found it by looking at all the options. Also remember that Microsoft ActiveSynce (Exchange) is no longer supported for free by Google.

Sony PC Companion Crashes Syncing Outlook 2007 Calendar with Google Calender

I'm just setting up my new Xperia S phone and trying to synchronise my Outllok 2007 Calander (Personal Folder) with my new phone. It seems the mechanism is:
1) Run the Sony PC Companion Sync' facility to syncy my Outlook with My Google Calendar.
2) Set up my Xperia to sync its Calendar with the my Google Calendar.
Step 2 is working fine. Calendar entries are moving fine between Google and the Xperia. But step 1 has a problem. The PC Companion tools crashes when it tries to sync Outlook to Google Calendar. The problem appears to be the Google side of the process. The following a screen dump immediately before the crash. The tool seems to successfully read the Outlook Calendar but crashes immediately after this point. I assume it crashes trying to access Google Calendar.
The following wondow is displayed:
Then:
Some questions.
1) Am I going about the Outlook - Xperia synchronisation the best way?
2) What going on the PC Companion? Does it have a serious problem. (I'm running on Windows 7 64 bit with all the latest patches.) It just crashes and burns. No error messages. Nothing. The Xperia does seem to have any problem with Google Calendar.
Thanksto anyone who can get this interface working.

Have you tried to reinstall PC Companion? Please try this if you have not.
Also check so you do not have any fire wall, anti-virus program or similar blocking PC Companion.
If you still have a problem after all this I would suggest you export the calendar data manually and then import it to your Google account (not using PC Companion at all in other words).
What do you think about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

I am still using my Apple G4 1.25 Ghz MDD running Leopard 10.5.8 with iTunes 10.6.3 installed. Can I use an Phone 4s with iOS 5 with this set up? I have read the iPhone iOS 5 user guide and it appears that I can but is anybody actually doing it ?

Hello to all my readers.I am still using my Apple G4 1.25 Ghz MDD running Leopard 10.5.8 with iTunes 10.6.3 installed. Can I use an Phone 4s with iOS 5 with this set up? I have read the iPhone iOS 5 user guide and it appears that I can but is anybody actually doing it ? My current phone is a £10 Nokia and I've neither wish nor cash to spend more than a grand upgrading to an intel based machine (at the moment) ! Regards to you all.

If you can find an iPhone running iOS5 and those are the specs for iOS5, there is no reason it should not work.
If you want a more current version of iOS or a more current device, a Windows computer is always an option at significantly less cost.
Granted, there is no requirement to have a computer to use an iPhone.

How to sync ipad calendar with google calendar?

There is no suich thing as a Google iPad. iPads are made by Apple not Google. What device do you have exactly? If its made by Google its not an iPad. It may be a Tablet though.

Why do I get double entries when synching calendar with Google calendar?

Since I have different iCloud passwords on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4s, I synch the calendars with Google calendar. It works - to a point. The problem I'm getting double entries in my IOS calendars. Any suggestions?

I too was having this issue recently. I decided to look into it and discovered that www.google.com and all of the search results accessed through using a google search engine toolbar were currupt. I believe I solved this problem by updating my firmware of my router.
Type in your IP address in your Address Bar (search using Yahoo what your default IP router address is if you haven't changed it since you got it.) You'll then need to navigate to your router's website (ex: I search Cisco and Linksys and found mine).
Most logins to the router are
Name: admin
Password: password
You will then download a .bin file and go to your administrator page in your router's control panel and go to Firmware Upgrade. Click the "find file" (or whatever it says) and click upgrade. This worked for me.
If this doesn't solve it, reset the router to it's default settings by either using it's control panel or holding the reset button on the back of it in for several seconds. This will reset any port forwarding you may have set up as well as your Wifi password.
Hope this helps,

My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box no go

My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box but that didnt help.

I assume that there are legal restrictions on the way in which iTunes can get artwork automatically from any source apart from the iTunes Store (which is what the right-click > Get Album Artwork function uses). For example, even though the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to match CDs and retrieve metadata (artist, album, track titles, etc.) also has artwork functions, iTunes does not make use of these.
For manual addition of artwork, there are three cases where the image you select may not be correctly embedded in your media files:
your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files. To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties. On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white. Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected. Now try adding the artwork again.
Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12). See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

Share icloud calendar with google calendar users

I know that this has been asked before, but I can find no official response from apple to the question of how to share my icloud calendar with google calendar users (or frankly, anyone not using icloud)
Can anyone point me to an official response to this surprising intransigence?
cheers
Ben

It is a 2 way sync, enter the event on the iCloud calendar (in Google) and it will be there when you view the calendar in iCal, or Google or at the iCloud website.
Do you know how to publish to Google in BusyCal?

How to Replace New Maps app on ios 6 with Google Maps?

Can someone please provide the procedure to replace the new maps app on ios 6 with Google Maps?
Thank you

You can still use Google’s maps — on the Web. Visit maps.google.com and accept the offer to create a Home-screen icon for you. You won’t get spoken directions, but you’ll get written directions, public transportation details, live traffic reports and, of course, Google’s far superior maps and data. (In two weeks, you’ll be able to get Street View this way, too, says Google.) And you can install the Google Plus Local app for full access to Google’s more complete database of shops and businesses.
You can also use someone else’s app. Many good ones cost money, but the MapQuest and Waze apps are free and offer spoken directions; Waze also incorporates real-time information about traffic jams, accidents and speed traps, collected by thousands of iPhones and Android phones on the roads.
If you can wait a couple of months, you’ll be able to install Google’s own maps app; Google is busily readying one for the iPhone and iPad.
 Cheers, Tom

You are posting on an iMac forum, I'd suggest you move your post to either an iPad or iPhone forum.

I know I can switch two iphone 4s's with SIM cards, but can I flip a CDMA iphone 4 (no SIM) with a 4s (has SIM)?

I know I can switch two iphone 4s's with SIM cards, but can I flip a CDMA iphone 4 (no SIM) with a 4s (has SIM)?
My wife wants to use my daughter's 4s phone instead of her CDMA iphone 4 with no SIM. Does verizon need to do the switch since I can't just switch SIM cards and restore from backup?

Unless the 4S was sold for Verizon, the CDMA module is disabled. Regardless, Verizon will not activate devices on their network that were not specifically sold for their network.
