Existing iCal calenders syncing with new Google Calendar/iCal account

I have been using iCal now for awhile but only recently started using Google Calendars (once I found out they could both be synced together). Anyway, I understand how to set up the sync, it's very simple. But, I have three calendars for personal, school, and work already in iCal that are in the default group profile that iCal starts with of "calendars".
Anyway, when you create a new account in iCal to set up the syncing, it creates a whole new calendar group for your profile. I had never had an "account" before, so all my three main calendars are separate from this new account. Is there anyway to move or duplicate those calendars into my new calendar group so that I can have one flowing set of synced information between google and iCal without manually retyping all of the information myself? I have tried dragging the calendars down into the other group and all you can do is reorder them within the group they're already in. Even a duplication would work, if that is possible (to duplicate a whole calendar).
Any insight from anyone would be incredibly helpful.
Thanks a ton,
Zac

any help?

  • How can I ensure my iPhone calendar is in sync with my Google calendar?

    I sync my office Lotus notes desktop calendar with Google calendar and generally the two are in sync.
    However I find my calendar on the iPhone which I sync with the Google calendar through Exchange (along with mail and contacts) is simply out of sync a lot of the time with old entries duplicates etc. 
    Is there a way of forcing the iPhone calendar to duplicate the entries in the Google calendar and lose the wrong entries or some other way of entirely purging the iPhone calendar.  I have made sure I am only looking at the Google calendar. 
    Would it be better to open the account as a Gmail account rather than an Exchange one? 

    Exchange is the right way to do this.
    Have you looked at your Google calendar on-line (web based)? I suspect the problem is actually between Lotus Notes and Google.  I've never had issues syncing my calendar with Google.
    If the calendar looks good on-line, try going into account settings and turning off calendar sync for that account. Go into your calendar to verify the entries are gone, then go back and turn it on.
    Are you syncing with any other calendars from any other source? For example, you sync Notes at work with Google. If you sync Outlook at home with Google, and you sync your iPhone over the air with Google, and you ALSO sync your iPhone via USB with Outlook at home, you're potentially going to create and/or see a big mess.

  • After installing Mavericks on my iMac, Apple Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account.  Now Mail crashes every time I open it.  What's up?

    After installing Mavericks on an imac, Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account.  After I clicked on All Mail the program crashed and now it crashes every time I open Mail.  Does anyone have an suggestions?

    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Any apps for e6 to sync with the google calendar?

    email are synced  but not the calendar and contacts
    is there a way I can sync the google calendar with the build-in calendar in my phone?

    Hi kev0927,
    Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums!
    Right at the end of the Mail for Exchange setup, you are asked what you want to sync, there you can pick email, calendar and tasks. You can change this setting afterwards by navigating to Menu > Mail > Settings > Personal information mgr > Applications and selecting either Sync calendar events or Sync contacts and changing the synchronisation setting on.
    Alternatively you can set up your email account again. First delete your mailbox by long pressing it in the mail main view and selecting Delete mailbox. After that start New mailbox wizard, give your email address and the password, leave the domain box empty. Right after this you will be asked to give the server address, which is m.google.com, and what information you would like to sync. Just pick email, calendar and contacts, and they should be synchronised automatically.
    Let us know if this helps,

  • ICal: How do I get iCal to sync with a shared calendar?

    I am working in a small business who are running a Microsoft Exchange Server. All users are using Microsoft Outlook for e-mails and calendars. I want to get iCal on my mac to sync with the shared calendar on the Exchange server which is published in the 'public folders'. Can anyone shed any light on this matter? Does iCal do this?

    In short: No it doesn't.
    There's a third party 'solution' out there: Groupcal by Snerdware. However, since OS10.4 it's nothing but trouble with that program. They've recently released version 3.0, which is supposed to fix things, yet for me (and a couple of other users, according to for instance versiontracker) matters only got worse. I'd say: give the trialversion a go and see if it works for you. But be prepared for trouble with future OS updates etcetera. Also their support only returns emails with very short and cryptic answers, if at all.
    The alternative of course is using Microsoft Entourage instead of iCal.

  • After downloading the new 6.0, I cannot seem to sync with my Google calendar.  It will give me a schedule for a few weeks but if I ask for what's going on next month, it will take forever to come up and then say "no events scheduled." What's up?

    After downloading 6.0 on my ihpone 4 I am having trouble syncing events on my google calendar.  If I pick a day next month it will take forever to come up and then say "no event scheduled."  Can I just go back to the old operating system?   I'm not using any of the new 6.features anyway.

  • Ical not syncing with new mobileme ical calendar

    Morning All
    I have been using mobileme now for sometime and i have not encounted any sync problems until recently.
    The problem has started since i have upgraded the ical calendar in mobileme, i can sync my iphone with mobileme ical but ical on my mac will not sync with the new calendar on mobile me.
    i am not sure what i am doing wrong any help would be much appreciated.

    The exact same thing happened to me. Everything is seamless before the calendar upgrade, now after the upgrade MobileMe is not worth paying a dime for. The web-based calendar and devices seem totally disconnected from the iCal and Entourage.
    I tried everything there is to be done and nothing worked

  • Can't get phone to sync with multiple Google Calendars?

    I set up multiple calendar accounts with Google but have run across an issue.....
    When I perform a sync from my phone it only syncs with my first "primary" calendar. The items in my "primary" calendar are the only ones that appear on Google Calendar. However when I enter them on Google Calendar and then perform a sync all the items appear on my phone.
    Any insight as to how I can get them to sync both ways?

    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I am trying to figure this out. I added my dads calendar to mine in a regular browser, and after syncing with my phone, it shows up in the preferences in calendar view options as another calendar that is with my gmail account, and it is set to be visible in the view all calendar. but it does not show, neither does it show when you just go to view that calendar alone. i dont get why this is happening if it is there in my preferences. 
    im going to just add my dads gmail account to my calendar, but it would be so much easier if all my gmail calendars that are tied to my one gmail account would show. is palm working on a fix for this?? 

  • IPod Touch Calendar sync with online google calendar?

    Does anyone know if there are any plans of making the iPod Touch calendar sync with the online google calendar? I mean; the iPod have the ability to get gmail and it should be really good to have the same functionality with the calendar.
    I've read about some 3'rd party software that do this for me, like a calendar gateway. It would be really nice if the iPod could do this by itself. Is it possible?

    i asked a similar question yesterday for synchin google calendar and contacts via web/wifi without dock.
    The response I got was to check out Re: problems synchin gmail contacts & calender to touch via web/wi-fi NuevaSync. It's free and it can sync the Calendars and Contacts.
    Have not tried it yet myself but will do when I get 5. Let me know how you go...
    Good luck!

  • ICal quit syncing with WebDav & Google

    I've set up a secure webdisk with my web host just to sync calendars on a mac network. Suddenly the sync on my computer quit working. My husband's still works and he's running 10.6 (without a firewall). I can't even get to the domain where the disk is using Safari, but I can get there using Firefox. (ex. https://domain.com:2078)
    I've also tried to sync with an office Google Calendar and it downloaded events once and now just spins.
    I've tried to add the domains into the firewall and I have turned off the firewall. I've added the domain in the proxy with port 2078. I've restarted.
    I'm just baffled because my husband's machine is on the same network and is syncing fine.
    Any ideas?

  • My Ipad calendar is not syncing with my google calendar

    It says on my Itunes account that my ipad calendar is automatically syncing over the air via icloud.  I checked on my ipad settings and everything is set just like my iphone but my iphone calendar is syncing but my ipad is not.  Anyone know what else I can check?

    I tried again switching off the iclod calendar and switching on again which worked for a day but its back to no longer updating again.
    Its a bit of a pain having to switch it off and on again each day but this appaers to be the only solution.
    I would be interested in knowing if Apple has tagged this as a potential problem?
    I would like to give you credit for helping but can not work out how to do so from within the reply.
    If you can let me know I will update this to credit you.

  • ICal stopped syncing with Google Calendar

    My iCal recently stopped syncing with my Google Calendar.
    Change: I decided to set up an application specific password (http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=185833)
    Action: Doing this made me enter the application specific password on my MacBook Air for my Gmail set up confirmation for email.
    Result: When that happened everything was syncing fine; email & calendar.
    The next morning when I tried to launch my calendar on my Air I received the error message that my Air could not access the Google Calendar. The password was incorrect.
    Assumption: I needed to set aup an application specific password now for the iCal on my Air.
    Action: I removed the calendar in iCal preferences and created an app specific password and tried to set up the calendar again using the app specific password from Google.
    Result: Selected Account Type (Google) Email (google email) Password (app specific password)
    Error Message: Server with Secure Communication Unavailable - Your calendar account isn't on a server that can recive your calendar information securely. If a server isn't secure, others may be able to view your calendar information. To continue searching for your account on servers that may not be secure, and then set up the account it's found, click continue.
    Action: I went into my Google Calendar settings and made the calendar public.
    Note: When I originally set up my calendar I didn't get this message or have to make my Google calendar public.
    Question: Why am I getting this error message now?
    Change: Account Settings: prompted me now to set this up as a CalDav account....?
    What the heck?

    the same is happening to me.
    All my cals have been syncing just fine. Upgraded my iphone os5. upgraded lion on laptop. And for some reason, now i'm opening ical today and trying to edit, i am suddenly getting URL errors. Also i cannot find a way in the new ical (with lion) to unsubscribe from things.
    My iphone seems to be updating ok as it's syncing from the google cal server... but if i want to add or edit anything to my google cals in ical, it's not letting me do anything.
    Any ideas anyone ?

  • Sync Blackberry invites with my google calendar

    I am new to the blackberry and have had some headaches setting up my calendar the way I wanted it to work.  Using google sync, I was finally able to sync my google calendars to my blackberry and also set it up so that when I make a new entry on my blackberry it gets uploaded to google.
    However, just today I began to get a bunch of invites sent to my blackberry for a number of upcoming meetings.  When I accept these invites, they show up in my blackberry calendar but do not sync with my google calendar.  Is there any way to make this happen?  I don't really look at my blackberry calendar too often and find it frustrating that I am not able to have these meetings uploaded to my google calendar.
    I tried searching around for an answer and while I saw some posts about other people having similar issues, I can't seem to find any solution.

    I used Outlook Express years ago, and going on bad memory. Does it have a calendar function, or notes? At any rate, you can't set the Desktop Software to sync a database on the BlackBerry with an app on the computer that doesn't have the functionality to support that database.

  • ICal stopped syncing with iPhone

    My iPhone has been blissfully syncing, as expected, until the last few days, when it no longer syncs with my iCal. New calendar items don't sync to the phone, and new items on my iPhone won't sync to iCal.
    I have been running a third party application Busysync to sync with my Google calendar, and this has also stopped syncing from Google calendar to my main computer, but not from iCal to my Google calendar. I have been trying to get help with this from their forums, where a suggestion came up that recurring calendar items might be triggering problems within Google calendar and therefore Busysync, but even when I stop Busysync running, my iCal and iPhone still won't sync with each other.
    I've attempted resetting my Sync history in iSync, but it makes no difference. This was a problem prior to updating to iTunes 9, and I was wondering if anyone else had been having problems with the last update of iTunes 8. Or is there another simple way of resetting things, as resetting the Sync history seems to do nothing...
    Any suggestions?

    I am having the same problem. My iPhone calendar was syncing to my iCloud and my Macbook Pro but then it stopped. Now I've added an iMac and can't get my phone to sync to either computer. It's not only annyoing but very bothersome when you add an appointment to your iPhone and it doesn't update to your iCalendar at home.
