Google Cal and iCal

I know you can subscribe to your google calendar with iCal, but since its a subscription you can NOT edit/add items.
I'm going to assume there is no way (yet) to add/edit events in iCal and have it sync with Google cal, but hey, why not ask?
Thanks,

May I suggest you look at www.spanningsync.com. It is a paying software though, yet it has worked quite well for me. I sync my ical on two macs with google calendar via spanning sync - five calendars in all. That way I can edit/create events on either mac or on the web in gcal, and all three are synced and show the same information.
BTW, am neither the owner or an employee of spanning sync.
hope this helps

Google cal and iCal, weird alert settings!?

Hi,
I'm using a Google calendar in/through iCal (on Mac OSX Lion - the problem existed under Snow Leopard as well though) and everything works fine except that the Google calendar seems to automatically create two weird and quite annoying alerts for the events as well!? I always have to manually set these alerts to 'none' in order to get rid of them.
This does not happen with normal iCal calendars nor with Exchange calendars.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you very much,
Jerome

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Didn't realize "default" alerts on the Google Calendar side would transfer to iCal as multiple alerts AND an email alert.
Is there a way (maybe from the terminal) to go through one's iCal and programmatically remove all Email alerts from existing events/appointments? I know I might be pushing my luck here...

Google calendar and iCal

I have a google calendar and all day events appear out of order in ical they are fine in iOS apps on the iPhone and the iPad, but on the desktop they are all messed up and it appears to random because every day they are ordered differently? Any advice would we welcome

Thanks John,
I was afraid of this, It is strange because on the google calendar everything is in order numerically. When I access the calendar in iCal they are different each day and it appears random with no rhyme or reason. also strange that on the iOS devices everything is in order.
thanks for the help.

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

Syncing subscribed private Google Cal to iCal in iOS7- won't show up

I have iOS7 on my iPhone 5. I tried syncing my Google calendars to iCal via accounts in settings and my personal email address calendars all showed up ([email protected]). My school email address (accessed through Gmail, ______@____.edu) is subscribed to a private calendar (that shows up under "Other Calendars" in this Gmail's Calendar tab) that shows our classes etc via Google Calendar. This calendar displays on an app I used to use (Pocket Informant Pro.) I can't seem to figure out how to get this on iCal on iOS7. Any help? Anyone else have this problem?

Possible to import google cal into iCal?

Is there a way to import data from google calendars into iCal?

Yes, it is possible and you do not need a third party program to do it. You need to "subscribe" to your Google calendar from within iCal. The address that you need to provide to iCal for the subscription to work, is available from the Google calendar page. Click on the downward-facing triangle next to your calendar name on the left of the screen, then click on Calendar Settings. At the bottom of the screen that pops up, click on the ICAL button in the Private Address area. This will give you the private URL of your calendar, which is what you need to use in iCal "subscribe" function.
In iCal, you can specify how often you want to "import" the data from the Google calendar you are subscribed to.

Rafael

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.

HT2513 google calendar and iCal

WIthin my Google calendar, I created a calendar for each of my family members. All events are visible on my MAC in iCal. On my iPhone and iPad, only my events are visible. What is going on?

Hi,
On your iOS devices open the Calendar app. Then press the Calendars button at the top left. Make sure all the calendars you want are ticked there.
Where the Google calendars appear on iCal would depend on how you add them. If you connect using the iCal > Preferences > Accounts pane then the Google CalDAV calendars will appear under their own section, not under "On My Mac". However there are third party add-ins that put them under the "On My Mac" section.

What is the easiest way to sync Google Cal and Contacts with an iMac?

iTunes will sync Google Contacts, but not calendar. Weird. Why? What's the best fix?

There must a better way to do this. The problem is, YOU CAN'T UNCHECK IPHOTO in the installer. You pretty much need all the support files which you can't see in the installer, but you usually don't want iphoto.
1 way to get around this is: Quit the installer if you launched it. Open the install disc > search = (any ilife app) > make visibility option 'invisible'. (if you don't know how, search invisible files in apple's help menu). run through the stuff to find a 'packages' (or some similar name) folder. Inside of that, I install everything except for what I don't want, which for me is the iphoto and imovie stuff.
Still there must a better way, maybe you can create your own installer from the packages w/ package maker or something and burn that image... Worth trying...
Please be assured that you will not get full integration between the current apps and the iLife apps in 10.9.x; Mavericks. The apps don't have all the expected hooks to each other due end of product development. This seems to be the crux of the problems I've had testing to make an idvd dvd.
If you're running 10.9, I recommend moving on to current replacements that will work as expected. That way you won't be wasting time running down project problems.
