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.

I tried to create a new google calendar in ical, but they did not show up, I tried this several times. Now when I sync my iPad via iTunes all these failed attempts are showing up under the ical sync list in iTunes, how can i clear them from this list?

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?

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.

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

Adding an ics file to a Google calendar in iCal synced by Calaboration

"HTTP/1.1 403 Cannot create/update events where you are not the organizer"
Under 10.5.5 we were able to send out iCal invitations by right clicking on an event and choosing mail event. The recipient would then be able to add the item to their calendar and edit it if necessary.
However, under 10.5.6 you are no longer able to edit events which you did not organize - which means that if a meeting time changes you then have to delete and re-create the entire event in order to change the time.
Furthermore, if you attempt to add the event to a CALDAV calendar, the server returns an errors stating that you are not able to create or modify events which you did not organize (see error above). This presents a large issue for us as a large part of our calendaring workflow involves sending out iCal invites via mail.

Having the same problem here - it's driving me nuts!
I tried installing YAI, but I can't make it point to the correct calendar. I can cut and paste an event into the Google Calendar, but if it's an outlook invite it will delete the event on all the attendee's computers.

Google Calendar to ICal to MobileMe

I've been using Google Calendar for a couple years and want to "convert" my calendars to MobileMe.
Using CalDAV, I was able to get my Google calendars (multiple ones set up) into iCal & be able to edit them, etc.
Now, I'd like to take those calendars (just imported from Google) and sync them into MobileMe.
I have two Mac's and various calendars for various reasons on both Mac's. I'd like to be able to manage them from one central spot - then tell each Mac which calendars they're 'allowed' to sync with.
For example - the business Mac will sync with the business calendars only. The personal Mac will sync everything.
Here's the problem:
The personal calendars I just 'sync-ed' with Google won't 'upload' or sync into MobileMe.
Help?
Thanks!

I think the answers are partly already in your question...
MobileMe has the important limitation that you either sync all calendars, or none. So, you are not going to be able to sync some of the calendars using one MobileMe account, and the others using another account. However, I can see two workarounds:
1) Use MobileMe to sync your work calendars, and Google to sync your personal calendars, or vice-versa.
2) If you really want to only use MobileMe, you could create two user accounts on your personal Mac, one for each MobileMe account. Your personal user account would only have your personal calendars, and your work user account would only have your work calendars. If you still wanted to be able to display your work calendars on your personal user account, you could publish the work calendars to the work iDisk (using the procedure in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2071 to password-protect them) and subscribe to them on your personal user account. But, as you pointed out, you would not be able to edit them; you would have to switch to the work user account to make changes to the work calendars.
Hope this solves your problem
P.S.: I have 12 calendars, so I win

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.

Bug Report (reproducible) - Adding an appointment to Google Calendar causes Pre to display a blank calendar.

I have been able to reproduce an important bug on the Pre (webOS 1.0.2). I didn't see a way to submit an official bug report, so I'm posting it here.
Step 1: Import the following ical file into a Google calendar: http://www.halfwayproductions.com/test.ics
Step 2: Sync the Google calendar to your Pre
Step 3: Your Pre calendar appears completely blank!
It's worth noting that this file doesn't import correctly into Google calendar. Google gets the repeat wrong and puts the appointment at the wrong time. However, this shouldn't cause the Pre to display a blank calendar!

I confirmed that a meeting location with an apostrophe causes the event to not sync to Google Calendar. Interesting enough, I created an event on Google Calendar with an apostrophe in the location and it sync'd to my Pre, without causing the calendar to go blank. BTW, I'm on 1.1.0.
This seems like it would be a very common occurance as many meetings or appointments could possibly contain apostrophes in the location (Joe's office, Dr's office, Arthur's Tavern, etc). It leaves me with little confidence of what is on the Pre and what is in my Google Calendar, as there could be other issues causing events not to sync, and they are obviously not "in sync." Is anyone looking into a fix for this? (Is Palm or Google listening?) In the mean time, is there any way to get a log of events that did not sync, as opposed to blindly assuming everything was uploaded fine?
Message Edited by EDgeofNJ on 07-30-2009 10:18 AM
Some of these are known occurrences and I believe have been logged into the Palm SW database. Symbols had also been causing Facebook contacts to not sync properly as well. I don't know if getting a log of events that do not sync is possible at this time. However, if a user could post characters and their entry points that are known anomalies that cause the errors, that'd be useful.

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.
