Ical sync to gmail calendar issues with snow leopard

I had sync before w/ iCal 3 then it stopped last June. I'm now running 10.6.8 with the hope that the Sync would be good. Still no luck. My Gmail account is working find with connection to my Droid just not syncing w/ iCal. Note I've tried to re-enter the Gmail account with out luck.
I appreciate the help !
Thanks

Harvey,
The "On My Mac" calendars will not sync, and in my experience are no longer required. They can be safely deleted after making backup copies.

"Fake event to work around calendar issue"

I've got a Samsung Stratosphere running Android 2.3. When I search in the Calendar app for an event, it always first briefly shows a list of all events, then shows the search results. Inevitably, at the top of the list of all events is one that says, "Fake event to work around calendar issue." It is set on 01/01/1975 from 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM, with no repeats and no alarm. When I go to that date on the calendar on the phone, there it is, listed on the calendar linked to my e-mail account; but when I check my online Google Calendar, there is no such event on that or any other date on any calendar.
There seems to be no harm in leaving it there, and I wonder if there'd be any harm in deleting it. A quick Google search showed that this is an event that shows up on many Android phones synced to Google Calendar, sometimes with repeats or alarms. (For example: https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/607134#607134; http://forums.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid-x/45510-problems-google-calendar-fake-event-work-around-calendar-issue.html.)
Has anyone else here experienced this? Has anyone successfully deleted it?

My little Google search showed it occurring for at least a couple of years now across a spectrum of Android devices from various manufacturers. Which suggests that somehow the big G is responsible for whatever it is. The version history for a 3rd-party calendar app maker suggests that this "bizarre event ... that Google Calendar puts in at times" might be "Bug? Google programmer forgot to remove debug code? Weird kludge by Google Programmers?": http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/PimlicalAndroidVersionAndSlipstreamHistory.htm (scroll down to the bottom). Frankly, striding forward to conquer the world while never getting around to fixing rubbish from years ago seems like Google's M.O. these days.

Outlook Sync (Contacts/Calendar) Issues - Progress today........

Folks,
I posted another earlier discussion on this topic over the weekend, but since I got my iPhone on Friday, I have probably burned about 20 hours working trying to figure out why I cannot sync my calendar and contacts from Office 2003 "OR" 2007 into my iPhone. When I started this process, 584 of my 1310 contacts did sync, I had NO luck on getting any of calendar items to sync.
Today we resolved the Contact issue!!! Still working on the calendar issues and if anyone has any further ideas, I am open to it, but it appears for both the contacts and calendar issues, I had corrupt data. You dont know it until encounter it this way.
Here is what you need to do in order to get the contacts to sync, it worked for me, hopefully it will work for many after me:
1. Export "ALL" of your contacts to a .CSV (Comma Separated Value for Windows) file. Just export them to your desktop or somewhere easy to find them. As an extra safety net to ensure you dont lose your contacts, back them up also to a .XLS file as well as a .PST file.
2. Delete "ALL" your contacts out of Outlook. Sync Outlook, especially if your like me and have your contacts and calendar on a corporate exchange server. Be sure you clear your iPhone so there is no contacts on it.
3. Import the .CSV file to a VCARD file, sync to your coporate server, sync your iTunes and you should now see all your contacts.
Again, it worked for me and hopefully it works for you.
Good Luck!!
Alan
Dell D420 running Win XP Windows XP Pro

Everyone is waiting for this.
Right now you cannot sync locally between your phone and your desktop. You are forced to upload your contacts to another company's server (read "the cloud") and then download them from whatever device you didn't upload them from.
Still waiting for this fix please.

Any way start over from scratch to fix iCloud calendar issues in Outlook 2010?

I'm suddenly having perplexing iCloud calendar issues in Outlook. Forget the hundreds and hundreds of duplicate entries for birthdays and holidays, and the thousands of duplicate contacts - I've just been manually deleting them from Outlook. I also tried manually deleted iCloud files from iCloud on outlook, but this does not seem to affect what is on iCloud itself. I've now got an issue where if I add an appointment on my iPhone, it appears on Icloud but not in Outlook 2010 even though the iPhone calendar is displayed in Outlook. iPad appointments show up on iPhone, iCloud and Outlook. iCloud entered appointments show up on iPhone, and iPad and Outlook. Of course it is maddening that there is a separate calendar for each (there is only one of me, so why a separate calendar in Outlook for every source is beyond me). How can I get my iPhone to start showing up again in Outlook? Another issue is that now every time I click on calendar in Outlook, it takes 2-3 minutes to display the calendar because iCloud seems to be syncing. I'm assuming this is because there a so many duplicates. I've removed Icloud from Outlook. Ran a repair on Outlook. Uninstalled iCloud. Reinstalled. Re-added to outlook., but the issue is never fixed. I'm considering make a brand new Apple ID and abandoning my current one, but that means I have to change my iPad, iCloud, iPhone, family iPhones, Outlook, readd credit card, reload all of the data. That's a pain. I sure would be nice to have a simple way of editing the iCloud data and adding devices (and having a more descriptive source name would be even better).

I found sync options under "info"
I was looking to sync the information from the phone back into outlook, It looks like these options will sync what is on outlook into the phone..
I wanted to export from the phone (which has all of the old appointments and updated contacts) , back into outlook
Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Calendar issues - bugs or do I misunderstand how it should work?

I'm having a few calendar issues that seem like bugs. I have the latest release installed but I don't remember seeing these problems before updating. I could be wrong though - my memory ain't what it used to be.
On the calendar week view, if I swipe to scroll down to see the afternoon, I can't swipe back up again. I have to swipe left or right to view a different week before it'll let me view the morning.
Also, if I go to the month view and open a particular day with an event. If I then swipe on the bottom to go backwards, it shrinks the card and lets me choose another open app (home view?). Instead I would have expected it to return to the previous screen?
Another problem; I had to tap an event in the week view about five times before it opened the day view. Poor detection?
Do these sound like bugs? I've only had my Pre for a few days so I'm still learning. Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forums;
Going back and forth between morning and afternoon is working fine for me, how many calendars do you have and what kind are they (yahoo, gmail, etc)?
Going to month view, then tapping on a day and using the back gesture does put you into card mode, because you have not entered a new level of menu, just a different view. If you were to go into a specific event, then you could back gesture to the previous view, but going between day/week/month is accomplished only with the selection buttons at the bottom of the screen.
Instead of trying to tap a particular event from week view, have you tried just tapping on the date at the top? or somewhere else on the column for that particular day? Do you see the "ripple" on the screen showing that it recognized a screen tap?
Hope this helps,

Calendar Issues - "Repitition is not working for the item you tried to access"

I ran into an interesting error when troubleshooting a calendar issue today, wondering if anyone has seen it.
Exchange 2010 SP2 latest RU, Outlook 2010
User changes then start time for a recurring meeting, changes in everybody's calendar but hers 9still shows in her calednar as the original start time)
Logged into OWA to see if her claendar reflected the correct start time there - no, still shows the old start time. So I open the meeting, have a quick look, and the following error pops up:
"Repitition is not working for the item you tried to access. It's possible either the start or end date are not correct"
Has anyone seen this error in OWA before?
TAG

Hi,
Please double check whether the updated start time and end time are changed properly in attendees’ calendar. Also confirm whether the updating message is in the organizer’s sent items both in OWA and Outlook.
Thanks,

Need help synching my Droid X2 Calendar to Gmail Calendar

Hi. I'm having problems synching my Droid X2 calendar to my Gmail Calendar. I am able to add appointments on my gmail calendar and they show up on my Droid Calendar. BUT I can not get appointments entered (or existing) from my Droid Calendar to my gmail calendar. In my phone's calendar settings I can not make my Phone Calendar show as synch and visible (it'll go not synch/visible or not synch/not visible, BUT will not show synch). I really want to be able to see all my appointments from my gmail calendar. Anyone know how to fix this?
THANKS!!

When you view event details on the phone, it will list "phone" or your Gmail address as the calendar. They can also have a different color assigned to it.
When you create the event, the calendar selection option is usually at the very top of the create event dialog.
Once you create the event, you can't change the calendar where it is saved.

RIM Facebook 1.7 Calendar Issues (with Google sync)

I know that the Facebook app calendar issues have been documented all over the web and in other posts on this forum; but I still have been unable to figure out the best solution to this problem.
I am using the latest version (1.7) of the Facebook app and the latest version of google sync.
Despite unchecking the calendar sync option for the Facebook app, it ALWAYS eventually hijacks the "device default" calendar for my BB (curve 8330) and adds all my friend's birthdays. It sometimes happens after a battery pull, other times it seems random. Despite deleting the facebook cical entry, it will always come back eventually.
I am unable to set anything other than facebook in my default calendar option under options>advanced>device default. When I delete the facebook cical, the default calendar selection (options>advanced>default services) disappears entirely I assume that this is because there is no option other than the device default.
I have NEVER had a cical entry for my google calendar. I'm assuming the google sync app does not need a cical entry. I'm also assuming that the lack of a cical entry is what is preventing me from selecting my google calendar as my default, which is what many suggest to solve this problem. I cannot select my google calendar as a default, which isn't a problem until facebook hijacks my calendar.
Previous to FB app 1.7, everytime my calendar was hijacked, google sync would become a one way street (events would sync from the web to my phone, but not vice versa). To remedy this, I would delete the facebook cical, RSET the calendar manually, and re-sync my google calendar. This would work fine until the next time FB hijacked the calendar.
Now (in FB 1.7), despite hijacking my calendar, it does not appear to interrupt google sync in either direction. My google calendar is now named "facebook," but birthdays do not sync to my google calendar. It is very odd indeed and worries me that this convoluted setup is going to mess up my online google calendar at some point.
Unchecking the calendar option in the facebook app should prevent it from creating a cical entry. Period. This is very frustrating and discouraging to see RIM update this app from 1.5 to 1.6 to 1.7 without fixing this obnoxious issue.
Has anyone else been able to find a solution to this problem?

Had the same problem here plus the same event kept getting duplicated 20 to 30 times per day.
I tried all of the solutions that people suggested:
removed facebook cical
set default email to another email address
battery pull
none of that worked; there was still a "default" email with all of the replicated events.
Then I stumbled upon a Blackberry tip to move all events into one email account. So, I moved everything into my GMAIL account, and the "default" email disappeared. Apparently, if a calendar account is deleted without deleting the events (as was the case with Facebook) the rogue events stay in a "default" calendar.
I then used Blackberry desktop manager to create a sync to MS Outlook. I opened Outlook and did a search for the replicated events (by name). 494 replicated events were found, so I selected all of them and deleted them. I then went back to Blackberry Desktop Manager, re-synced, was prompted to remove the events and WHAM, problem solved.
Make sure that you uncheck he calendar feature in the Facebook for Blackberry App options.
I hope that this helps others!

"Fake Event to Work Around Calendar Issue" on Google Calendar

My husband noticed the following message on two days of his Google Calendar on his phone "Fake Event to Work Around Calendar Issue". Has anyone else had this experience and if so, why did it happen? How do we avoid in the future"?
I logged onto the calendar online and it doesn't appear there, just on his phone.
Thanks

What Calendar APP are you using? Sounds like an APP issue to me, since you're not seeing it on GOOGLE Calendar online. I am not seeing your error on mine ...

Hi n3lka
Thank you for your question.
Owing to not respond, you can try to check the mailbox permission.
“nothing show in the room calendar itself”, you can make outlook in cache mode, then, you can try to uncheck option “Download share folders”.
There is a similar thread you can refer to by the following link:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/cb057c90-9eaa-4ead-8b1d-68e8ae87c0b0/exchange-2007-room-calendar-issues?forum=exchangesvrclientslega
when nothing shows in the room calendar itself, you can try to make another user schedule a meeting, if another user schedule a meeting successful, you can refer to the following link to solve it:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a31af989-aee1-42f0-88bd-c178c6199379/exchange-2007-room-mailbox-and-calendar-issue?forum=exchangesvradminlegacy
If there are any questions, please let me know.
Best Regard,

Droid 2 signal issues

I would really like to switch from T-Mobile back to Big Red for the coverage and the network. I have to have a physical keyboard, so the Droid 2 seems like the best option so far but the problem is that the reviews I've read about it say it has signal issues, and that's totally unacceptable.
http://mobile.engadget.com/2010/08/23/verizon-pushes-out-first-droid-2-update-doesnt-cure-signal-woe/
I'm not about to pay a termination fee and sign a contract with Big Red (again, I might add) if I'm going to have the same signal issues as I do with T-Mobile...
Can I get a Verizon rep to answer if motorola is working on a software fix to the signal issue? Is it even fixable with software?

I bought a Droid 2 yesterday and taking it to work today, I've had signal issues already. I have 1 and sometime no bars and other Verizon users have pretty good signal here. I'm really disappointed because the Droid 2 seemed like such a good phone from my research. I called customer service and they had me do a Factory Data Reset but that didn't help.
The kicker is I just exchanged my Samsung Fascinate for this Droid 2 phone and the Fascinate had great signal strength everywhere.
Is there any proven resolution out there for the Droid 2 signal issue / reception issue?

That strange because the Droid 3 is supported on Skype's site.
Previous phone was a Droid 2 - with none of these problems.... appears that the Droid3 was released before testing and fixing issues.
PLEASE ADDRESS THIS!!!

Droid 2.3.3 Commando: google calendar issue

just bought a droid commando. uploaded an outlook calendar csv file thru my PC to google calendar. seemed to work fine and sync automatically with the phone fine. however, after march 11 (daylight savings time begins), the calendar on google shows the correct time for each apt while the calendar on my droid shows one hour earlier. for example, an apt scheduled for march 12 at 11am on google shows up as 10am on Droid. stumped as to how to address this? the auto sync is set 'on' in my phone. i'd appreciate any suggestions. thank you.

That is certainly a strange occurence. Have you tried to delete the csv file from google and re-added it? Can you try to create another csv file and import into google, then sync it and check the time? Are you having any other issues with syncing email, contacts, etc? Please answer these questions so I can further assist with your issue. I hope this helps. Thanks
