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

  • 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.
    regards

  • 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.
    Best wishes

  • How can I edit iCal server addresses in Mountain Lion? I keep getting an error with regards to my google calendar and I understand that the way to fix the problem is adjust the server address, but I cannot access it because the preferences are restrictive

    How can I edit iCal server addresses in Mountain Lion?
    I keep getting an error message with my google calendar, and I heard that if I delete the extra slash at the end of the address the problem will be fixed. But the iCal account preferences take me to system preferences > accounts every time I want to edit the account.
    Does anyone know where I can edit the server address?

    You should ask in the iCloud forum, this is for iMacs. https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac

  • Can I add a calendar such as ical or google calendars and have it expand the date?

    In Google calendars or iCal you click on the date in the month view and you see the day itself listed with what is going on that day.  Is there a way to add an ical or google cal to iweb that would show the full month, but when the particular day is clicked would either expand to show a fair amount of information for that date, or show that dates info in a seperate dialogue box next tot he calendar?

    Go to Google calendar, grab the code and paste it in a html snippet.
    Explanation here :
    http://google.about.com/od/toolsfortheoffice/ss/embedCalendar.htm

    What the calendar can do is up to Google. iWeb has no control over it.

  • Once I have synced my Google calendar to iCal, can I turn off syncing and save all info in iCal?

    I have been using Google Calendar, and syncing info from it to my Mac, iPad and iPhone. Now that all the info I originally entered into Google Calendar is on my Apple devices, can I turn off syncing it and save all the events, birthdays, etc. that were put into iCal up to this point? I have only been adding to my iCal via the Mac, iPad or iPhone for several months now, so it seems silly to keep using Google Calendar.

    Unless you have backed up your iCal data, there is no way to retrieve the now missing data. To easily back up your calendar data, simply choose the Back up Database… option under the File menu in iCal.
    Microsoft cautions users that deletion of the Entourage calendar in iCal—without first disabling the synchronization function with Entourage—will result in exactly the outcome you see.
    If you have not subsequently synchronized with .Mac since you deleted the iCal calendar, you can selectively restore calendar files as a collection of calendars from .Mac by using the Reset Sync Data… option in the .Mac preference pane by launching System Preferences, pressing the .Mac icon then the Advanced tab, and waiting for your client list to update. Once you've done that, press the Reset Sync Data… button, choose Calendars from the drop down menu and pick the option to replace the data on your Macintosh with data stored on the .Mac servers.

  • Ical, iphone (mobileme), google calendars and sharing...

    My first question is as follow: I use googlemail at work and have a work calendar. I would like to be able to see that in ical (at home) and on iphone through mobileme. Is this possible? How?
    Similarly, I have a personal calendar which i keep on mobileme (and in ical). I would like to be able to see this in google calendars. Is this possible?
    Second question is I would like my husband to be able to see my personal calendar (mobileme). He has ical but does not have a mobileme account.
    And is it possible for him to see a googlecalendar of mine on ical?
    Thanks very much for any help you can offer.

    There is a brilliant little App called 'Spanning Sync' which does just that! It syncs your iCal to your Google calendar and it is very easy to set up and use. However, it only lets you sync with one Google account per licence. If you need to sync to more than one Google account, you need to buy more licences. I use it very successfully and would recommend it to you without reservation.

  • ICal+iPhone Calendar+Google Calendar and mobile me

    I have an iPhone 3g 2.1.... i am running the most recent version of Mac OSX and i have the newest iCal installed on my mac... My google calendar syncs with iCal through CalDAV. I also have Mobileme and it syncs with iCal. I want to be able to have a sync between iCal,Google Calendars and iPhone. I thought this would work with Mobileme.When i set up my calendar and google calendar it creates a different calendar.... I need the same calendar synced between all three..

    IE: you don't have to sync your iphone with your computer. Instead, when you edit or add an event in your google calendar it will automatically update your iphone's calendar over the cell network, without you doing anything. Also, if you add or edit an event on your iphone's calendar, it will automatically update your google calendar as well. That way, you don't have to mess with ical. Just use google calendar and your iphone's calendar.
    Since you've already got your iCal synching with your google calendar via CalDAV, your iCal will come along for the ride.
    Thus, you can do all this for free, without mobileme, and without even having to plug your iphone into your computer to synch it.
    Go to this website to check out Nuevasync. http://www.nuevasync.com/ You have to sign up for a free account, but it doesn't take long and they won't spam you or anything. Then go to "device setup instructions" and It will tell you how to set it up on your iphone. I've been using it for about 3 months now and it works great. (I don't work for them or anything, just love their service!)

    I've considered using NuevaSync, but it looks like it will use my gmail contacts instead of address book? Is this true? I'd prefer to keep the address book.
    Honestly, If I was able to edit calendars that I have synced with iCal from Google through CalDav(CalDev?) I'd be fine, (Right now iCal syncs with Google and my iPhone synce with iCal), but when I add an event on the iPhone, it doesn't allow me to edit any of the synced calendars. I can only edit a separate, unsynced calendar. Does anyone have any idea how to edit a synced calendar?

  • Google calendars in ical over caldav go blank

    Sometimes (roughly 1/3 weeks) my google calendar in iCal goes blank - all events vanish.
    The events are still there when I look at the calendar online.
    I have ~5000 events over several years.
    I added the calendar via Callaboration.
    This is my default calendar.
    I have 3 separate machines that use caldav to access the same google calendar and they both have the same problem but generally not at the same time.
    Can anyone please help?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Just out of interest what should he Calendar list be named as iCloud or @me.com.
    It doesn't matter - you can name it whatever you want. It's purely a descriptive label, nothing more.
    If you want to change it, just go into the Mail, Contacts & Calendars system preferences pane, select the account in the left panel, click Details... on the right and enter the new name in the Description field.
    Also why when looking at File - New Calendar are both iCloud and my me.com account listed?
    It does the same for me too. It seems to be a bug. iCal seems to be seeing your AppleID as an extra potential place to store calendars, although it doesn't actually do anything if you try.

  • Sync issues with Google Calendar and e-mail alerts

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing a lot of problems with iCal while I'm trying to sync it with Google Calendar. I have correctly inserted my Google account information into iCal, but:
    when I create a new event and I disable the e-mail alert and save it, it automatically turns on the e-mail alert! Is there a way to disable by default all alerts? I have already tried to go to Settings - Advanced and select “Disable all alerts” with no result;
    all the events I create into iCal are correctly synced with Google Calendar and I can correctly read them on the web app, but in my android device they don't have the time information (they are listed as all-day events)

    GooSync would do the trick - http://www.goosync.com/
    Plz be aware that Goosync nor Google Contacts supports all field from your phone so it is not an 100% backup unfortunately

  • Syncing Private Google Calendars to iCal

    Friend of mine shared a private event calendar with me on Gcal (it is listed under "other calendars" on my google calendar account) and I cannot sync that particular calendar with my iCal.
    Im assuming it has something to do with the privacy settings of my friends google calendar and that is why I'm unable to sync but I wanted to see if there was any way I could circumvent the problem.
    If anyone had any ideas that might help I'd really appreciate it.
