  • How to sync Google calendar busy/free-time with iOS calendars?

    A friend and I want to share our busy / free-time. We've successfully set it up and sharing, and sharing works fine on our PC / Mac laptops via Outlook and iCal respectively. Same goes for webcal. While my friend who has an Android phone can also see my busy / free-time on his phone's calendar application, I cannot select his calendar for syncing to my iOS calendar via "https://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect". When my friend's calendar security is set to "share busy / free-time only", his calendar shows up on my calendar list on the syncselect page as not available for syncing. When he shares his detailed view, I can select it for syncing.
    Is there a work-around so that I can see his busy / free-time on my iOS calendar just like I see it on my Mac iCal and on web-calendar? Appreciate input here ... Thank you. 

    I'm afraid that isn't possible.  iCloud will not sync your Google calendar and Google will not sync your iCloud calendar.  They are entirely separate systems.  If you want to sync your Google calendar with your devices, add your Gmail account to them (Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>Google) and turn Calendar on.  Your Google calendar will then appear alongside your iCloud calendar in the Calendars app on your devices.

  • Can't get Google CAL to work with iCAL "Server with a secure communication unavailable"

    I can't add my google account to iCal...
    Error message:
    "Server with a secure communication unavailable"
    "Your calendar acct isn't on a server that can receive your calendar information securely.."
    I have had this work just fine in the past, had to remove my accounts a while back, decided to add them back, and this error keeps popping up...
    Can anyone help??
    Googled and Searched this forum with no success. Found some suggestions but nothing worked.
    Thanks,

    I have used the CalDAV option from the pop list and the server option is : https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user    , replace with your email the underlined
    I've found this here .

  • Sync ical with google cal

    Hello,
    I have a mid2012 mba 11'' with an update to lion. The google cal syncs with my ical perfectly fine. But whatever update I made on ical doesn't show up in google cal. Any help will be appreciated.
    ps. I found some previous discussion on this topic, but any ideas on the Lion operation system? Is it possible to do it without any external application? (My preference) If not, what's the best one for Lion?
    Thanks!

    I am having the same problem. Was perfect until a week ago but now I am receiving errors and iCall is not getting the changes I make in GCal.
    What´s weird is that my iPhone is getting the changes perfectly. The problem is only in my Macs: Powerbook and iMac.
    Even when I press refresh, refresh all or use sync in the finder menu... iCal wont refresh.

  • 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.

  • HT4968 Can I add subscriptions to more than one calendar?  I would like my google cal to be added to my main ical cal.      be to more than one calendar

    CAn I add more than one subscription to my main calendar in ical?  I have a google cal I use for work, plus a another schedule i subscribe to.  I would like both of those to fill my main ical cal.

    I'm not sure how you would merge them without dragging and dropping the events from your separate calendars into the one you want to hold the merged events.
    iCloud won't sync calendars from external account such as Google.  The easiest thing to do would be to add them to your iOS devices as explained here: https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/151674?hl=en&rd=1.  They will then appear alongside your iCloud calendar on your iOS devices just as they do on your Mac.

  • ICal import to a CalDav calendar created by Calaboration (for Google Cal)

    I connected 6 of my calendars from Google Cal to iCal through CalDav with Calaboration. I wanted to take my existing iCal events and push them to the Google Cal calendars.
    I tried exporting my existing iCal calendar as an ICS file, then importing it to the newly created Google Cal calendar. It worked for one calendar, and since then has just stuck on "Importing" whenever I try to import other calendars.
    The CalDev calendars sync with Google Cal just fine, because I can create events on one end and they'll show up on the other. The problem is with importing. I've tried importing smaller files than the one that worked, and they just won't go.
    Suggestions?

    3.0.5 (1270)
    Just to check I wasn't going mad, I just did this:
    Opened GCal in Safari.
    Created a new calendar: "Test Calendar"
    Started Calaboration. Selected only the new calendar
    Closed iCal when prompted
    Opened iCal and after the (rather alarming) 'upgrading calendars' message I had GOOGLE:TEST CALENDAR with Test Calendar listed under it. (This can also be seen as a CalDAV account in preferences.)
    Right-clicking on the calendar name, I get "Show CalDAV Queue" as the first item.
    Are you using a different version of iCal? If not, perhaps you would be best advised to go into iCal Preferences, to delete the CalDAV account and start again?
    Edit: Just noticed you are running the same version, but advice still stands.

  • Google Cal Sync w/ iCal?

    I can't seem to figure out how to publish my iCal to my Google Calendar. Is this even possible? Has anybody figured this out?

    yes you are absolutely right and i left it out of my previous post. kind of jumped over it and assumed you had a .mac account, my bad. so you either have a .mac account and then you can publish, or you may want to look at www.icalx.com where you would be able to open an account for free, and then be able to publish to icalx - which would be the private server option.
    also, whether you publish to icalx or with .mac, and then subscribe from google cal, you will just do that subscribe and the calendar will be read only in google cal. i notice the title of your post, which seems to indicate you would like to sync. if that is the case, then you may want to look at http://www.spanningsync.com that will allow you to sync with google cal - i guess syncing and publishing/subscribing are different terms meaning different things.
    hope this helps

  • Using iCal and trying to sync automatically to google cal

    I mostly use iCal to add events and would like those events to appear automatically in google cal without having to backup/import them (which is what I'm doing now). I tried several settings but nothing seems to work. I either end up with duplicated data in my iCal or nothing happens.
    Does anybody know how to set up this? I guess it's something simple but I cannot get it right.
    Any help appreaciated.
    Thanks!

    Create main folder e.g. Folder A, then sub-folders inside A e.g. B, C, D and have your Photos in B, C, D.
    In iTunes Sync, click your device on the left Pane, then on right pane select "Photo" tab.
    Make sure Sync photo box is checked, then select folder A, then All folders box within the selection.
    Click Apply or Sync button at the lower right window.
    you will have B,C,D folders under Albums.

  • 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

  • How do I add Google calendar subscriptions to iPad iCal?

    I was able to add my Google calendar account to iCal on iPad but my calendar subscriptions (delegated) from other users is not displayed. I know there is a wizard to add a subscribed calendar but I don't know how to fill it out:
    Settings> Add Account> Other> Add Subscribed Calendar > Server "myserver.com/cal.ics". Where do I get the information to plug between the quotes?
    Thanks.

    ab1268,
    I'm trying to do this very thing.  I have multiple google calendars set up (one for each kid, my husband etc.).  I want to move to iCal exclusively.  Based on your note above, should I export each individual calendar within ical.  Remove each from the iCal account and then reimport then into ical?  I suppose the risk is low b/c the data still exists in google.
    Please advise - I would hate to misstep.  Very new to the apple world (aside from iphone / ipad).
    Thanks!

  • Why does my google calendar sync perfectly to iCal on my Macbook Pro but not my iPhone 4?

    The question as title is basically my problem.  Before I got my MacBook Pro I used my iPhone 4 (with iOS 5) to use the iCal app to edit my google calendar.  Events synced perfectly.  After getting my MacBook Pro things still seemed fine as well.  I was editing my calendar on iCal on my MacBook Pro, on Google's on-line Calendar App from other computers, and also on my iPhone 4 through the iCal App.  Suddently events were not syncing any longer.  I don't know what is the problem.  Things changed on iCal on the MacBook Pro still syncs to Google's online Calendar App and vise versa, but I can't do a thing with my iPhone 4 iCal. 
    Any suggestions?  I've tried deleting and resyncing my google account to my iPhone without any success.
    Thanks in advance.
    Barry

    Hi Matt,
    I found my own solution to this problem and I think you can get it to work as well.  The thing is that you'll need to make your Google calendar your only calendar.  This means that you'll not want to have a Home or Work iCal because that stuff may not sync well with your Google calendar, but the Google Calendar data will appear within iCal on your iOS and Mac computer without any problems. 
    Before you do any thing I suggest, you must make sure that everything that you want on your calendar is on your on-line Google calendar.  If something is not there and you want it there, the thing you'll need to do is manually add it.  There is no work around that I have found for this.
    Next, on your computer:
    1. Go to System Preferences > iCloud
    2. Make sure that Calendars is not selected.  You don't want your computer or iOS devices to be confused with the iCal Home / Work, etc. calendars.  So let's not sync them.
    3.  Go to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars
    4.  Delete Your Google account there
    5.  Go to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars
    6.  Re-add your Google account
    Now you should be able to go into iCal on your computer and find that your Google calendar is there. 
    You will need to do a similar thing with your iOS device.
    1.  Settings > iCloud > Turn off 'Calendars'
    2.  Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Delete Gmail Account
    3.  Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Re-add Gmail Account
    This should make it so that you can use your Google calendar and it will be synced to your Mac computer, iOS device, and the Internet (Google's Calendar Website).
    You can see that this is in a sense a workaround in that you can't sync your iCal Home/Work calendars (or other calendars) created with iCloud to Google.  I'm thinking that's the problem I ran into before.  Anyway it works for me because I only need the one calendar and others are using Google that I need easy access to. 
    Let me know if you run into problems and remember you need to confirm that all your data is saved on the google calendar on-line (you can check through Google's website) before doing any of the steps above. 

  • Is there a way to import a pdf calendar into iCal?

    My employer issues my calendar in pdf format. Is there a way to import this into iCal? Either directly or is there a way to automate a conversion to some format and then import?
    many thanks in advance.
    b737guru.

    Hi b737guru,
    pdfs might contain visually structured graphics, but they don't necessarily contain internally structured data. Which is what you'd need for a conversion to the iCalendar format, the format that iCal's .ics files use. So I don't think you're likely to find an easy solution.
    Your best bet is to try and get the data from your employer, before it is printed/formatted to a pdf file. If there are enough of you campaigning, they might consider .ics as an alternative to .pdf. Google Calendar, FaceBook and Microsoft Outlook can read .ics, which makes it fairly universal.
