Google subscription wrong in ical

I need to get 2 subscribed calendars from google cal to ical. HOWEVER, when i go to the calendar in google cal and get the ical link to subscribe, copy, paste it, it's wrong in ical. I directly copy and paste the link so there should be no errors in typing. the calendar is correct in google cal, and on the original site. but in ical it adds events that don't exist.
anyone know what is going on? these calendars i subscribe to basically run my life so help ASAP would be nice!

Similar problem here. I can select the delegate calendars within iCal, but it simply doesn't sync any events for the delegate calendars. I'm also returned an error if I try to manually subscribe to the calendars, e.g. using a direct link from the Google calendar settings.
Either way, I think it's all related to a known block Google have implemented to deal with an iCloud conflict. Keep an eye here for a solution...although it's been several months already obviously:

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!

Cannot delete a Google calendar from my iCal sidebar

I can't seem to delete a calendar created on Google from my iCal sidebar.
Long ago, I created a temporary Google identity, created a calendar under that identity, and subscribed to that calendar in iCal. Other folks in my church subscribed to the same calendar and we used it for years to keep the church's calendar.
Then the church decided to repeat the process using a disctinct Google identity, and we all started using the second one. So I deleted my temporary Google identity, which also deleted the first calendar. All well so far. I did get errors at first about Google not responding, but I turned the calendar offline and that stopped the error messages.
Problem now is, I can't delete the first calendar in my iCal's sidebar. Now that it's deleted from Google proper, I'd like to delete it from my iCal sidebar as well. However, when I select either of the two calendars that are/were connected to Google, Edit -> Delete is dimmed. If I select any other calendar (local or subscribed, but not on Google), Edit -> Delete is lit up.
Anyone have any experience like this?
--Gil

Greetings Gil,
I haven't heard of that one.
Questions:
Does the calendar in question show up in the "Subscriptions" category of iCal?
If you remove all accounts from iCal > Preferences > Accounts and quit and re-open iCal, does the calendar in question vanish? If so, does the calendar come back when you re-input the servers you need into iCal > Preferences > Accounts?
Can you provide a screen shot of your calendar sidebar.
While you answer those questions, some troubleshooting to try:
Try dragging one of your other calendars above this calendar that won't delete and then quit / re-open iCal and attempt to delete the calendar in question.
Failing that:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists at this point:
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Hope that helps!

Can't edit Google Calendar events in iCal

I am using Google Calendar's new CalDAV sync system and their "Calaboration" tool to sync my iCal (version 3.0.5, and I'm using Mac OS 10.5.2) with my Google Calendars, per the instructions on this page:
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=99358#ical
It seems to work ok in that I can now see my google calendar events in iCal. I can also add an event to that calendar in iCal, and it will sync to my google calendar. However, I can't seem to edit an event in iCal that was created on the Google Calendar web page. That is, all my events that I created in Google Calendar do indeed appear in iCal, but I can't edit them in iCal. I can edit events that I create for that calendar in iCal, but not ones I created in google calendar. Not a huge deal, but I was wondering if this is how it is supposed to work, because it seems a tad inconvenient.
(I do have my e-mail address in my address book "me" card, so that's not the problem.)

Yeah, I tried deleting the calendars in iCal and re-synching to them via Calaboration, but the same problem persisted.
I did find the solution after a bit of experimenting, though. To solve it, I basically created a new calendar on Google Calendar, imported all my events from my old google calendar into it, then used Calaboration to sync iCal to the new Google calendar, and now I can edit events in iCal and GCal without problems. I don't actually know what the problem WAS, but this seems to have solved it. Maybe I made my original Google Calendar too long ago and it had some old bad settings I couldn't see? I dunno, but it doesn't matter now.
For those who might have this same problem, here's how I transferred my old Google Calendar events into a new Google Calendar without losing anything: (You actually don't need to delete your old Google Calendar at all if you don't want to, so there's no reason to worry about losing your events.)
1. In GCal, click the "settings" link at the top right of the web page. Then select the "Calendars" tab. Click the "Export My Calendars" link, which should be under your list of calendars, next to the cancel button. This will download a .zip file to your computer, containing all of your google calendars as individual .ics files. Go ahead and unzip them so that the .ics file for the calendar you want to duplicate is sitting in a folder somewhere on your computer.
2. Now In GCal, click on the "Create" link on the lower righthand side of the "My Calendars" box, which is on the lefthand side of the screen.
3. Create a new blank calendar and name it whatever you want. This is the blank calendar into which you will import your old calendar's events.
4. Now, in GCal, click "Add" at the bottom right of the "Other Calendars" box, which is under the "My Calendars" box on the left side of the web page.
5. Select "Import Calendar".
6. Click "Choose File" and browse to the .ics file you want to duplicate on your computer.
7. In the "Choose Calendar" pull-down menu, select the new, blank calendar you made in step 3.
8. Click Import. This may take a few minutes, depending on the number of events you have in your .ics calendar file.
9. Once it's done, look at the calendar to make sure your events all came into your new Google Calendar ok. It should look exactly like the original google calendar, but it will be a different color.
10. NOW, use Calaboration to sync your iCal to the New Calendar you just made in Google Calendar.
11. Once it's done synching, you should be able to edit events in the calendar in iCal.

How can I sync my google calendar to my ical?

My boos has an ical and he wants to sync google calendar in it, how can we do that?

Hi,
To set up Google Calendar in iCal on Lion: Open iCal > Preferences > Accounts, and click the plus button to set up a new account. The pop-up dialog has a drop-down, choose Google. Type in your Google username and password and click Create.
Best wishes

Google Calendar Delegates in iCal Not Syncing

Hello Everyone.
I've been stumped on my issue for some time and have been researching but found nothing.
OSX: 10.6.8
iCal: 4.0.4
My boss uses google calendar. I'm his assistant and he's shared that calendar with me so that I have access to it through my google account and I can add and delete events.
I like using iCal. So I synced my iCal up with my google Calendar. I used the calDAV method of syncing. I can add and delete events to my calendar just fine. I was able to add and delete events to my boss' calendar by creating a delegate calendar through iCal. Everything worked fine. However my boss added another calendar to his google account. I didn't think this would have any effect on my ability to edit events as I simply set up my boss' new calendar as another delegate in iCal.
The problem now is that I cannot get either of my delegate accounts to sync.
I deleted my calDAV and started from scratch in iCal. I added my googole account and delegates. Everything works fine. All of my boss' events load into my iCal but as soon I I try to edit one of them my delegate will no longer sync.
It seems like this should work and be easy but I cannot find a solution to keep my delegates syncing.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I also have a mobileMe calDAV that syncs just fine with iCal.
Thanks!
-Drew

Event time is wrong in ical

I just upgraded my MacBook to OSX Mountain Lion, but noticed an event "time" in iCal was wrong when synced with my iPhone 3gs. What's up??

Check Date and Time prefs on your laptop. Is the time correct, and are both devices using the same time zone?

Archive old Google Calendar events from iCal 4?

I have 8 Google calendars filled with events going back years. It's too big and I want to thin it out by archiving all events older than two years. I'll do it manually, but I can't find a way that works. I haven't found any way within Google to do it and to do it manually from within Google, you have to select each event separately. Too much work.
To do it for a Mobile Me calendar, I can just:
- Create a corresponding archive calendar (ie, Archive Personal for my Personal calendar) that is On My Mac
- Select only one calendar to view (Personal)
- List all events by typing a period in the search bar
- Select all events in the list that I want to move
- Right click or control click one of those selected events in the calendar (not the list) and choose the calendar Archive Personal to move it to
For the Mobile Me calendar, the events are moved to the Archive Personal calendar and removed from the Mobile Me calendar. Perfect.
When I try that with a Google calendar, it all seems to work in iCal, but the event remains on the Google calendar. No good.
I tried another way...
- I exported one of the calendars from Google into an Archive calendar On My Mac
- I was planning to delete everything after a certain date on the Archive calendar and delete everything before a certain date on the Google calendar, but when you search for all of the events in the Archive calendar On My Mac, it shows duplicates of every event. Somehow it's showing the Google calendar events as well as the archive calendar events even though the archive is the only calendar selected. The search should only result in events from that calendar!
Also, searching for a list of all events in a calendar in iCal 4.04 doesn't work too well. Once you move events, the update of the list is spotty. To really see what is left in the calendar, you need to quit iCal and restart it and do the search over again. Hopefully that's fixed in the Lion version!
If anyone can think of a solution to accomplish this — any better way to archive off old events from a Google calendar, I would appreciate it!

I just started using MobileMe yesterday and have a similar issue. The only past events in my iPhone are recurring events like birthdays. None of my old one-time events synced to the iPhone. Fortunately, they're all still in iCal (local and online). Does anyone have tips on how to get all events, past, present, and future on the iPhone?

Google events added on iPhone not showing up on iCal, Google events added in iCal not showing up on iPhone

I have been having this problem consistently for a few months. If I delete my Google account from my phone, I can then re-enter it, and events will synch. A few times, I have also had to delete my Google account from my Air. Anybody else seen (and, hopefully, fixed) this? Needless to say, an up-to-date calendar is one of the more critical things for my iPhone to have.

By "iCal" do you mean Calendar on your Mac? If so, I'd suggest you stop using that entirely and just use the Google calendar web interface and the Calendar app on your phone. I have absolutely no problems with that set up (one iPhone, two iPads and an MBA). The Calendar program on the Mac just adds a layer of complexity to the process.

HT5029 Subscription Calendars in iCal with iCloud

I tried this (changing location of subscription calendar) with Lion, and it didn't offer me the choice to select iCloud as a location...only On My Mac

That's correct: both in MobileMe and iCloud you cannot 'sync' 'On My Mac' calendars. This is because there is no actual syncing in the literal sense: the calendars are held on the server, and read from there by iCal (think of it as being like webmail and it makes sense).
The only way to 'sync' an 'On My Mac' calendar is to move it to iCloud. This page is written for MobileMe but the principle is the same: please follow the first set of numbered instructions.

Unable to add subscription calendars in iCal

Hello all,
I have been running into some iCal issues of late. I re-installed the application from Snow Leopard install DVD and after having some issues yesterday, deleted the cache and preference files. My issues were resolved.
However, I am still unable to add subscription calendars.
When attempting to add a calendar, I enter the webcal address (confirmed to be correct) and a dialog box appears "downloading". This process is taking longer than in the past. At the end of the process, the subscription calendar does NOT appear in my list of calendars. In other words, it is unsuccessful.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Kieran

Greetings,
Try adding a standard subscription like US Holidays, does the same issue occur? :webcal://ical.mac.com/ical/US32Holidays.ics
1. Remove the contents of the /Macintosh HD/Library/Caches/ directory (drag everything inside to the trash).
2. Launch iCal and test
3. If the issue persists follow this article to reset your sync history: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
4. If the issue persists test in a new user and let us know if that works:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
Cheers.

Edit Google Cal event in iCal without changing the original?

I'd like to be able to edit an event or delete it on my iCal without touching the original copy. Is this possible?

Greetings,
If the event is in a Google calendar then changes you make go automatically to the Google server as they "belong" to the server, not to your computer.
You can copy that event into a local calendar and then edit it and it will have no effect on the original Google calendar.
_Go to File > New Calendar > On my Mac.
_Click on the event in question to highlight
_Go to Edit > Copy
_Click on the new calendar you created and then go to File > Paste.
You could also copy the entire Google calendar into a local calendar.
_Click on the Google calendar on the left side of iCal and go to File > Export > Export and save to the Desktop.
_Locate the file on the desktop and double-click on it.
_Add to a new calendar.
__You will now have a local copy of the entire Google calendar (as of this point in time) on your mac which you can edit independent of the Google calendar online.
Hope that helps.
