Google calendar in ical iPhone

So I made a google calendar with my work email. I have it synced with my mac but I can't get it to show up on my iphone.
In Ical on my mac, I added the calendar in preferences but on my phone it won't accept a non-google email.
I am hoping i am missing something simple.
thoughts?

Peter, what did you finally do? I have similar issue trying to solve. I have Google Apps for work, Google Apps personal along with iphone, Mac Address book. I appreciated your outline of options and what they do.
Did you decide on an approach that works?

  • How do you link Google calendar to iCal in Maverick?

    Just downloaded Maverick (great) to my late 2008 aluminium laptop but cannot link Google Calendar with iCal.  In iCal tried deleting old account and re-entering but still iCal does not sync, although it still does on iPad and iPhone.  Any ideas?

    Hi there,
    I have tested this out on my backup disk and there is a slight modification to the method. Will highlight this with quotation.
    ================================================================================ ==
    It appears that once upgraded to Mavericks, the calendar folders are no longer compatible with the latest version of iCal. Hence why it crashes.
    To remediate,
    Close the iCal App
    Duplicate the folder (For Backup reason)     /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar
    Delete all content with in      /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar
    Go to:-
    System Prefences | Internet Account | iCloud
    Uncheck Calendars, Recheck Calendars
    Select the iCloud profile
    Press "-" to delete the whole iCloud profile.
    Recreate the iCloud profile by select "+" then iCloud
    Enter your iCloud Username and Password
    It will asked you if you wish to merge the database. (You may have to do this more then once)
    For every other google calendar
    Uncheck Calendars (if already checked), Recheck Calendars
    Hopefully this will recreate all the calender folders within /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar and start re-syncing.
    Once you are satified that all your calender are syncing, delete the /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar copy
    Good Luck.

  • Show google calendar in ical?

    I have a google calendar that I share with several work colleagues. Is there a way for me to add this calendar to iCal so it shows up on my computer, but does not sync, as when I download a 'special calendar' like U.S. Holidays?

  • Google Calendar in ical

    Is there a way to import my google calendar into ical? I have my google email account set up using the mac mail client and it works great, but I need my calendar too. Is this possible?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • How can i import my calendar events from google calendar to ical?

    how can i import my calendar events from google calendar to ical?

    To set up CalDAV support for Google Calendar in Apple's iCal, follow these steps:
    Open Apple iCal, go to Preferences and then the Accounts tab.
    Click on the + button to add an account.
    In the box that pops up, enter a description for the account and your Google Account username and password.
    Under Server Options, add the following URL:
    https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user//www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user
    Replace '[email protected]' with the email address that you use to log in to Calendar. Make sure to include the '@domain.com' portion (which is @gmail.com for Gmail users) in this section.
    DO NOT substitute your username for 'user' at the end of the URL.
    Leave the Use Kerberos v5 for authentication option unchecked.
    Click Add.
    Under the Delegation tab, select the calendars you'd like to add to iCal by checking the boxes next to them. You may need to hit refresh to get the latest list of calendars.
    Add your email address to your Address Book card by selecting Add Email. You'll be prompted to add your email address only if your address is not already in your Address Book.
    You won't be able to invite or email guests to Google Calendar events within iCal if your address is not in your Address Book.
    Your Google Calendar will now appear in iCal's list of calendars, and changes you make to your Google Calendar in iCal will be reflected when you sign in to Google Calendar.
    Event information will automatically refresh every five minutes. You can change this interval by opening the iCal > Preferences > Accounts menu and selecting a new refresh interval under the 'Refresh calendars' drop-down. Keep in mind you can also force a refresh by selecting a calendar and pressing the Apple and R keys at the same time.
    Calendars that are checked but disabled have already been added to iCal - you can remove them from within iCal.

  • Can't sync google calendar to ical

    I had google calendar working perfectly using CalDav before updating to Mavericks. Even after the update it worked perfectly. Then I deleted my google account on Mavericks so I could get the email working again. Now Mac Mail works perfectly with GMail IMAP. But, I can't get iCal to work using caldav and google calendar. Anybody got this working, and if so, how? Google Calendar changed their servers a few months ago, but I have the correct url. Help!

    I've been working at this for 2 days now.  I added my Google calendar in iCal a few days ago and it worked fine just by going through the internet accounts setup in Mavericks.  I deleted the account because I was having issues with duplicate contacts and such and now I can't add it again.

  • Using Google Calendar with my Iphone.

    I use Google Calendar with my Iphone. When I delete a recurring event it gets deleted from Google Calendar but not from my Iphone.

    Try: Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Select your Gmail Account>Change the Calendar tab from "on" to "off".  It will alert you that your calendar account will be deleted.  That's ok.  Delete the Calendar account. Wait about ten seconds and then turn the Calendar tab back "on". See if doing this fixes things.

  • 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.

  • View wife's Google calendar in iCal

    I have a bit of an unusual situation that I can't quite figure out. I use MobileMe, and all my calendars are on MobileMe so I can access them from iCal and my iPhone. I also have a Google account, but my Google calendar is empty. My wife, at her small business, has a Google calendar that should not be publicly shared, but has been shared with my Google account with read-only access. Is there any way that I can make that calendar show up in iCal, alongside my MobileMe calendars? (It'd be nice if I could see them on the iPhone as well.)

    Hi Thomas,
    If you are already syncing your Google Calendar with CalDAV and have permission to view your wife's calendar in Google. Go to iCal Preferences > Accounts, select your Google Calendar > Delegation tab and check your wife's calendar.
    Best wishes

  • 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.

  • 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
    Phil M.
