Google sync default calendar
how do i chose what calendar on my BB, google sync uses to link my google calendar?
Hi alex12344321,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
Your Gmail® calendar will synchronize only with the calendar you have set as default on your BlackBerry® Torch™ 9800 smartphone. You can verify or modifiy this in Options > Device > Advanced System Settings > Default Services.

Google Sync Online Calendar Problems
I have BB Tour 9630 with OS v5.0.0.419 (Platform 4.2.0.179)
Carrier: MTS
Google Sync: v0.5.15 (1017)
With google sync I understand how the BB only has a limited amount of memory therefor it deletes older events from the BB, but I just noticed that I have lost all of the events from the google calendar online as well as from my BB. I was wondering why its doing this? and is there any way to fix it so that it keeps my events online to refer back to later?
Thanks.Hi alex12344321,

I currently use Google Sync to wirelessly sync my contacts. It works great. I want to start using it to sync my calendar, since I have been using it more often. Plus, I want to make sure that I can sync my calendar (and contacts) to a new iPhone in the future. Since I don't really use the google calendar on the desktop, how do I get my iPhone calendar items into the google calendar so I can starting syncing the calendar? Make sense?
I can flip the Calendar switch on in step #13, but I don't want to delete the calendar items off my iPhone. By doing step #13, will that throw the calendar items on my iPhone into the google calendar?
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252OK - I just did this. The Google Sync is an excellent way to do this, BTW. Esp if you don't have all the new OS's the iPhone and iPad require you to have!!!!!
So....
First, I went to Google and set up a new email account. confirmed it after I got the confirmation email at my old email address.
eta: I'm using a PowerBook G4 with the old G4 processor and OS 10.4. Didn't want to buy a new computer yet, I still have feelings for that old laptop. (!?!) It still works and serves me just fine, if Apple would just let me alone!!!
I had to move all the old iPhone info to the Windows Vista PC so I could sync and activate the new G4 and the iPad.
Thank goodness for Google Sync!
Next, I signed in to my new gmail account. Click "my account" at the top right, check that everything is set the way you want it.
Look at the left side of your home page there, and you will see a box to "add friend's calendar". Click that, and tell it to import your old calendar from the old mac (in my case).
Now, open up your new iPhone or iPad and add a new account. Click Microsoft Exchange, follow the windows and fill out the gmail acct info you just set up.
Make sure "push" is turned on in your phone/pad settings.
Yes, you can go ahead and tell it to delete existing local calendars on your iphone, if you checked and made sure it was uploaded to your gmail account already.
I think you cold tell it to keep on your iPhone, though, just to be safe if you're in doubt, and cull through any duplicates in iTunes later.
Anyway, this was a painless way to move all the info to the new phone, since MobileMe will not work with the old Mac OS, and that's where I had all my old info.
The new iTunes wil not recognize the Windows Contacts in Vista, so you have to use the Google sync to get it done.
Yay. whew!

Force Outlook 2011 to use iCal default calendar to synchronize with google
Here is a problem.
My default calendar program is Outlook 2011.
I have an iCal synchronizing with my google calendar and outlook to sync with iCal via Sync Services - so in theory my outlook calendar should be synchronized with Google.
I setup in iCal's preferences my google calendar as default (because iCal synchronizing only Google calendar not the other calendars on my mac) so at this stage, if I use iCal to add new remainder/appointment it is store by iCal in default calendar (which I setup to be my google calendar) and is synchronizing with goggle calendar right away.
Synchronizing between iCal and google works fine, however there is a problem with outlook sync with iCal, because Outlook synchronizing all items in iCal with “no category” calendar (which seems to be default and although I have changed in preferences of iCal default calendar to be the google one). Even if I delete all “on my mac” calendars - outlook creates always new one called “no category”, when I try to add new appointment with Outlook.
So there is question, how to force Outlook (or maybe syncservice) to use my google calendar in iCal as default. I think once it be possible, synchronizing between Outlook and my google calendar (via Sync Services and iCal) works great.
Anyone knows how to manage it?
My system:
Outlook is 14.1.4 version
MacOs X Lion 10.7.3
iCal 5.0.2Hi Maxulus,
Did you ever find a soloution to this, as we have the same problem?

How sync iPhone Calendar back to Google calendar?
(1) Events I add to the iPhone Calendar app or the Mac OS X Calendar app do not get synced to the Google calender I view at https://www.google.com/calendar. However:
(2) Events do sync back and forth between my iPhone Calendar app and the Mac OS X Calendar app -- via iCloud: if I add or delete an event on one, it adds or deletes on the other.
(2) Events added to Google calendar at https://www.google.com/calendar opened in Safari do get synced to my iPhone Calendar app and to my Mac's own Calendar app.
How do I fix (1)?
Settings:
On Mac, iCloud Preferences:
Calendars & Reminders is checked.
On Mac, Calendar Preferences > Accounts:
iCloud account is enabled with Push, and
GMail account enabled with Refresh Calendars set Every 5 minutes.
On iPhone, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Accounts:
iCloud account has Calendars set On;
GMail account has Calendars set On.

What calendar is the default calendar on your iPhone,
Forget it, let's simplify.
Use your Mac only, open Safari and go to your Gmail calendar on the website, then open the calendar app on the Mac so you may see what happens.
1. Put a test event on the calendar on the Gmail website, it should appear in Calendar on the Mac within a few minutes, post back when it does, or if it does not.
I'm going to want to see screenshots of settings from now on, if you don't know how to take and post them please ask.
An event put on my Gmail calendar at the Google web site already does get synced to my iPhone Apple Calendar app. That was never the problem.
And that was not the question, I am trying to establish what is what, it's a process, you still have not told me what are the default settings, If you wish to continue doing it your way feel free to, this is not easy when you do not answer my questions or perform the steps I need to establish what is going on.
Sorry, I misunderstood what you were trying to do now. (I DO understand troubleshooting, especially as I am a beta-tester for various programs and have been over the years.)
I just added an event on the Gmail calendar at www.google.com/calendar, and it synced almost immediately to my Mac's Calendar app:
Here are some settings on the Mac:

RIM Facebook 1.7 Calendar Issues (with Google sync)
I know that the Facebook app calendar issues have been documented all over the web and in other posts on this forum; but I still have been unable to figure out the best solution to this problem.
I am using the latest version (1.7) of the Facebook app and the latest version of google sync.
Despite unchecking the calendar sync option for the Facebook app, it ALWAYS eventually hijacks the "device default" calendar for my BB (curve 8330) and adds all my friend's birthdays. It sometimes happens after a battery pull, other times it seems random. Despite deleting the facebook cical entry, it will always come back eventually.
I am unable to set anything other than facebook in my default calendar option under options>advanced>device default. When I delete the facebook cical, the default calendar selection (options>advanced>default services) disappears entirely I assume that this is because there is no option other than the device default.
I have NEVER had a cical entry for my google calendar. I'm assuming the google sync app does not need a cical entry. I'm also assuming that the lack of a cical entry is what is preventing me from selecting my google calendar as my default, which is what many suggest to solve this problem. I cannot select my google calendar as a default, which isn't a problem until facebook hijacks my calendar.
Previous to FB app 1.7, everytime my calendar was hijacked, google sync would become a one way street (events would sync from the web to my phone, but not vice versa). To remedy this, I would delete the facebook cical, RSET the calendar manually, and re-sync my google calendar. This would work fine until the next time FB hijacked the calendar.
Now (in FB 1.7), despite hijacking my calendar, it does not appear to interrupt google sync in either direction. My google calendar is now named "facebook," but birthdays do not sync to my google calendar. It is very odd indeed and worries me that this convoluted setup is going to mess up my online google calendar at some point.
Unchecking the calendar option in the facebook app should prevent it from creating a cical entry. Period. This is very frustrating and discouraging to see RIM update this app from 1.5 to 1.6 to 1.7 without fixing this obnoxious issue.
Has anyone else been able to find a solution to this problem?Had the same problem here plus the same event kept getting duplicated 20 to 30 times per day.
I tried all of the solutions that people suggested:
removed facebook cical
set default email to another email address
battery pull
none of that worked; there was still a "default" email with all of the replicated events.
Then I stumbled upon a Blackberry tip to move all events into one email account. So, I moved everything into my GMAIL account, and the "default" email disappeared. Apparently, if a calendar account is deleted without deleting the events (as was the case with Facebook) the rogue events stay in a "default" calendar.
I then used Blackberry desktop manager to create a sync to MS Outlook. I opened Outlook and did a search for the replicated events (by name). 494 replicated events were found, so I selected all of them and deleted them. I then went back to Blackberry Desktop Manager, re-synced, was prompted to remove the events and WHAM, problem solved.
Make sure that you uncheck he calendar feature in the Facebook for Blackberry App options.
I hope that this helps others! -
Up until recently my calendar were syncing (between my iPhone 4 & ipad mini). They are no longer synching. I have searched and everything matches to all the resolutions, the problem is on my ipad under Calendars in the settings there is no option for "default calendar". Every other option matches to what is on my phone, just the default calendar option is missing. The default email is the same for both. Help!!!!
Thank you
Penelope190An interesting additional symtom is that items loaded in the PC (which immedialely duplicate to the iCloud calendar on eht PC - no worries, there) do not transpose the devices (as above) but, loading an item into the phone, it goes to the PC (which is fine, too). But not to the iPad. Interestingly, there fewer calendar display options on the iPad than on the phone.
I talked to Apple a few months ago (after ISO 5) - mainly about the 6000 plus addresses that suddenly appeared in my Contacts - and his advice was do all contact and calendar actions on the PC. "icloud is still faulty"
So there we are! I must have items and reminders in my PC - it is my main work station - and need them on my devices to avoid conflicts when away from my office. -
Is there a Google Sync Alternative for sync'ing Exchange Calendar with iCal?
Previously, I was using Google Sync (one-way) to sync calender events between my microsoft outlook calendar and google calendar which I then had sync'd with my iphone. I had to format my computer and now when I try looking for the software (Google Sync) it looks to only be available for Google Apps Business Accounts now. I read up online and it looks like Google has made this change earlier in the year.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can have my outlook calendar events updated on my iphone without connecting directly to the exchange server?
ThanksGoogle calendar will sync with your phone directly. Choose Calendar as one of the things to sync under your Gmail acount settings. I would then check the Google help docks for information on how to sync your computer calendar to Google Calendar.
For what it's worth, I stopped using a calendar app on my computer years ago. I just go directly to the Google Calendar through my browser. Yes, I actually do have it synced to iCal but, as I hate iCal, I never look at that app or use it to enter appointments. -
My iPhone 3 had been syncing fine with Outlook 2003 via Google Sync. I recently had to reload my PC, wiped it and installed Outlook 2010 as part of the reload; when I tried to install Google Sync I learned it was no longer available for download after December 14th.....I did have it on another PC, moved it over but got an error message. So I am no longer able to make calendar changes on my iPhone and have them sync to Outlook or vise versa. In addition my Google calendar is now empty....
Anyone know of a way to enable a sync between Google Calendar and Outlook 2010
Is there a way to add or import my Outlook Calendar to Google Calendar?
Why is all this stuff so complecated!??no you can not do that. You can sync any web calendar that supports web dav to lightning, but Microsoft have chosen to not use the open standard and instead only offer a Microsoft Proprietary interface. Nothing new here though. They only offered a Microsoft Proprietary interface to download mail for many years. They call it innovation. I call it vendor lock in.
Interestingly enough you can sync office 365 calendar via OWA but not outlook.com -
My default calendar is no longer syncing with outlook.
I was editing my default calendar in outlook 2010 when suddenly the calendar went blank on my Windows 7 PC.
The information is still on icloud (and all of my other apple devices). How can I import calendar details from icloud into my default Outlook 2010 calendar?What happens when you try to sync? Do you see any error messages? Which software on the computer are you referring to, iTunes? The latest iTunes is 11.1.3. If you cannot update the phone due to lack of storage, you will need to delete some content from the phone.

I can't seem to sync my calendar on my iphone to iCal because the default email address associated with my calendar on my iphone was to an old work email address that I no longer have. When I go to ICal it asks for the username and password which I no longer have. The calendar is still on my phone (even though the email account is on my phone but doesn't work) Is there a way to copy my calendar to a different email address on my iphone? I have now set the default email account for the calendar to a current email address but I still can't figure out how to merge my iphone calendars, copy the iphone calendar to iCal, or save my iphone calendar to my mac. Also, I read in ITunes to check "sync to ICal" but my ITunes under my iphone and info just says "Sync Calendars" which doesn't transfer it to iCal when I sync my phone.

I'm having trouble with a sync alert. It's not clear to me if the default sync for calendar is my iphone (3G) or my mac (shows 82 modifications). I want it to default to the mac but the wording suggests the iphone. Anybody know the default device and if it can be and if the other can be selected if desired
Also, I don't see any way to do the sync on an individual entry basis for calendar. Looks like it will only do all of them at once. I'd like to go through them one by one to confirm which entry is correct.
Thanks

Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.

This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone. -
