Google Calendar "Add Account" Problem

What is ! Bad authentication??
Have patience and read it all please...
Heres the deal... Initially I synced Gmail and PIM data to the Pre, but was having log in issues with Gmail... My friend suggested that I change my password in Google account to something stronger as my password was weak (5 letters all lowercase) - so I wiped all accounts off the Pre (email/chat/calendar/etc...) and then did a total Reset (erasing all data)
Then I went on PC and changed my Google account Password, Turned on the Pre and went through the Setup screens again... This may be where I messed up, BUT - I used the Palm Desktop transfer assistant again and chose to Sync contacts data to PALM account this time instead of Google (Just wanted to try it )
After the Syncing and reestablishing the accounts... NOW my Google email works great, but I cant add Google Calendar now
I enter my gmail addy in the "add an account" screen within Pre calendar (which says Palm is Default now - good/bad/dunno<?>) - but I get an error message
"! Bad authentication" - No more Google calendar for me... after I spent all weekend entering events!!#@$%
HELP!!

I had the exact same problem & after a few days & many headaches found the solution. The problem is with Palm's automatic backup, it's a problem because you setup incorrectly the first time & now it is backing up incorrectly. In this process you will LOSE all of your data outside of your Gmail account, like Memo's and Tasks you jotted down. You will need to delete your backup info.
1. Make sure you write down any information you have entered into the Pre (Memo's and Tasks, etc). All Gmail data like Contacts, Calendar and Email should be OK since it is online.
2. Go to Backup Utility and TURN IT OFF, it will prompt you to "delete backup data", select Yes.
3. Go to "Device Info" and reset the device, you do not have to do the FULL reset. The device will reset and restart. At this point you're exactly where you started when you just got the Pre. Your Palm Profile DOES exist but is blank at this point since you cleared it.
4.Enter your Palm Profile Info & let it load. UPDATE to 1.0.3 software before continuing.
5. IMPORTANT! Enter your EMAIL information first before Contacts/Calendar!. Let it sync. Once complete, when you go to Contacts and Calendar - your GMAIL account should be already there, simply press "Done" and it will sync. You can now enter any other Email/Contacts/Calendar accounts you like...
This problem occurs when you enter your GMAIL Info first into Contacts/Calendar, instead of Email. Because of Automatic Backup - this problem does NOT disappear when you reset the device (since it loads your bad settings back again). It is important to clear the automatic backup, then the device & essentially begin from scratch.
Since ALL my data was/is with Gmail - it was not too difficult. However - device settings, Memo & Task info, Application Downloads & settings were lost. Writing this info down before device wipe, took me all of 30 mins to put that data back in.
Good luck!

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

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?

Embed google calendar html display problem

i have embeded the custom html google calendar code. it looks ok on my page in adobe muse ,
showing about 8 different calendars and colors, and the default display is supposed to be one week.
however it is not displayed properly. you can see my calendar , as published on
http://http://farandawayfarms.businesscatalyst.com/weeklylessons.html
my calendar should look very similiar to this example i found on the support forum..
http://http://www.learnadobesoftware.com/calendar.html
if i insert the code into the html object many times and publish the page, occasionally I get the correct display,
but then after the page is opened and closed several times, the display looks like the former link and not the latter.
this seems to be some bug. I am using the beta program, but see no indication that I am using the new cloud version, although I am a cloud subscription subscriber. I have adobe muse 4.1. all my software is installed from my cloud license.
I'm trying to go live with this site in a few days, and I need to solve this problem.
thank you.

I ran the w3 html validator on the google calendar code and it complained about the "border"
and the "no scrolling" attributes, so I removed them since both were empty or set to "0"
here is the google calendar "iframe" code from the google calendar:

Subscribed Google Calendar not working

I have set up my google calendar via CalDav and that's working great. But I also need to subscribe to my boyfriends google calendar, just to view what is there. So I have updated to 3.0 and I go into Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Add Account -> Other -> Add Subscribed Calender
I put in the address that google gives me to the .ics file for his private calendar. The it says "subscribed calendar account verification failed".
Anyone else have this problem? And have you been able to fix it?

I have not been able to get the google subscribed calendars to work either. I was able to connect my main google calendar via CalDAV, but you can't add additional CalDAV accounts. Subcriptions are not working at all. I get this error message every time: "subscribed calendar account verification failed"
The method you describe here may work, but you won't actually get any updates because you have basically subscribed to a copy of the calendar, not the actual calendar that the original creator presumably keeps upto date.

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.

I can not add google calendar account in iCal: Server unsafe IDAV

Hi, I have an iMac i7 again, buy it as updated it with Lion, my problem is this: When I try to add a google account in iCal tells me I can not find the server but says it is not safe. How do I add the Google Calendar account without me the error that is not a secure server IDAV?

The one non-Apple device I want to hold on to is my Blackberry. Apologies - put it down to age. is it possible for me to sync Calendars? [what IS an Ical?] Contacts and Notes etc syncs easily - only Calendar problem. i do hv a Google calendar/account.

New to Mac (at 60+ years] and enjoying it. But one non-Apple device want to hold on to is Blackberry 9900. I can sync contacts, tasks - but NOT Calender. I get message telling me to set up an iCal. I have Google Calendar and happy to use that as 'hub' as it were, if that does job. Syncing my Air and smartphone is important - help please?

Another weird thing related to above question....when I first plugged in the itouch, it asked if I wanted to update the software and I did. Then it went into restore. Then the itouch itself went to a grey screen and asked me questions such as did I want to back up to icloud, use find my itouch, etc. plus it wanted my Apple sign in. I did all that. Once the itouch came on, I noticed that my daughter's music and photos were gone. So that was all good. But then at some point later when I was trying to figure out how to sync, I noticed another notice from Apple on my computer asking if I wanted to update. I assumed that was for my computer not the itouch this time. I did that. Then the itouch was back to the grey tones and the same sign in questions. Now my daughter's photos are back on it but not her music. When I click Sync, nothing happens as far as loading the music. Could this be that my music library is too big for the memory? Wouldn't it tell me that rather than just not do it? As you can see, I am very confused.

How do I manage Google calendar account to allow access to my iCal account?

In Delegation box I see message: "You can change who can access your account by clicking the Edit button". This is what I am trying to do, but when I click Edit, Page opens on Manage Account Access which remains blank. It won't recognise account in sidebar.
Message comes up: "Cannot enable access to your account ****@gmail was not found" "Search again for the user you want to add by typing their name and selecting one of the resulting choices." Bar below offers "Cancel" or "Search Again" No choice appears in the Manage Account Access page.
I can only access new google CalDAV account in sidebar by highlighting my own account below in same sidebar. It then appears in box: Accounts I can access:
I tick box under Show, Under 'Users' new account appears correctly, but Privilege says "Read only".
I want it to allow "Read & Write". How do I set that up? Can you help? Thanks.

Many thanks for trying to help. I am afraid nothing works. I still don't know what to do: the Google Calendars page is set under the heading "Calendars I can view and modify" as Calendars with shared edit settings. These show two gmail calendars. No iCal. When I follow instructions to Get started with CalDav I get the same problem every time.
On the Delegation page when I click my gmail account in the sidebar the other account appears as "read only". I cannot edit to allow access to other account.
I can see other account's entries on my iCal Calendar. But I can't edit or add to them. Other account has no access, cannot view or edit my iCal Calendars at all on his gmail account.
When I click on the other account in the sidebar I get message mentioned before: "Cannot enable access to your account ****@gmail was not found" "Search again for the user you want to add by typing their name and selecting one of the resulting choices." Bar below offers "Cancel" or "Search Again" which repeats whole procedure without success.
Would be grateful for help.

Google calendar e-mails synchronization problem

Hi,
I've recently found a problem with my blackberry that I can't solve myself. In Google calendar I had to add external calendar to synchronize with my account (it works well on desktop website) and add e-mail notifications about new event.
And here is the problem. In ma gmail account I have emails about both added and removed events in this calendar, but in my BB inbox I only see e-mails about removed events. Messages about new events don't synchronize.
Here is screenshot from gmail inbox. Grayed ones have been synced with my BB and are notifications aboud removed events:
I really need these notifications to work. Anyone know how to make these e-mails synchronize?
Actually, since I've added this calendar to my google account I got event notification once (on BB it was marked with two people icon), but I'd rather receive them more often

OK, I've figured it out a bit. If I disable calendar synchronization in BB settings, then I'm able to receive these notifications and they appear in calendar as normaln events (that's good). On the other hand I can't use my main calendar that way.
What if I want to use both of them at the same time?

Adding Google calendar after email add

I find this particularly annoying...
I had to reset my phone and on adding back the accounts added my gmail account, then spent hours hunting around for the option to add the calendar without success. I remembered I had done this previously without problem but forgot how I had done it.
Then in desperation I deleted the account and added gmail the automatic way (i.e. just typing in the email address from the first screen) and low and behold the calendar options appeared.
Why isn't the option there when you add manually (unless in the 2 hours I spent, I missed the obvious)???
=====================================
Recent BlackBerry 10 convert (from guess what)

when you use the easy configuration, the Z10 will understand that one account stands for three (email + contacts + calendar) with the same credentials, but three different servers.
when you use the Advanced configuration system, you have to specify explicitly the URL for each server.
So if you want to add a specific calendar from a GMail account, you must fetch the exact URL of that calendar (in the options of the Google Calendar web interface) and input that on your Z10.
This is very useful for example for people who have several calendars on their GMail account.
The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

IPad Calendar App cannot add google calendar

I have just purchased an iPad Mini 3. Have added google account but for some reason the google calendar does not show in the calendar app. It works fine on my iphone. In fact, in the "settings" page of my iPad there is no "default calendar" line, although there is one on my iphone. Anyone have any ideas how to add my google calendar to the native calendar app on the ipad?
Thanks.

Problem solved!!
As I mentioned I tried everything I could think of to fix it, but nothing worked. But in a desperate attempt I did a factory reset of the device, and skipped everything I could and jumped right to setting up my Google account. And suddenly it showed up!

ICal, Google Calendar, syncing problems and duplicate entries

Hi everyone:
I could use some help. Oy.
At work, we use Google calendar, and that hosts my appointments. I find the Google web-interface impossible, and would like to use iCal to access the data on the Google servers. I have no problem doing that with iOS--my iPhone and iPad manage to sync up fine, and syncing works in both directions; i can add and delete either on Google or on the iOS devices and everything is fine.
But on my desktop machine, I have problems of two sorts. First, once I follow the steps to add a calendar, the syncing seems broken; I can add and delete from the Google web interface, but nothing deleted from the desktop gets passed to Google. Second, I have many duplicate entries that show up on my desktop and some very old appointments that no longer should be on the calendar show up out of no where.
What I'd love to do is a full reboot, eliminating all calendar data everywhere (except on the Google servers, of course, where the work stuff is stored) and start from scratch. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance--
Roger

Have you tried rebooted your Mac? (Not needed often, so we Mac users often forget to try this. ) Are you logged on with an admin account or a standard account? (Or one with Parental Controls enabled.)
Sometimes I'll find the dialog window "behind" my other windows. Try not to click or move your mouse after you click the plus button. Or try moving windows around or minimizing them so that any windows that are hidden behind other windows are then shown. (In fact try closing all apps and Finder windows to reduce the possibility of this issue in the first place.)
(BTW, your question really is separate from the original question, since the OP already has their Google account added to iCal and you are having trouble adding the account. In the future you'll want to start your own thread so that you can also mark posts answered or helpful.)
