How do I sync iPod calendar with iCal?

Hello everyone,
I have just been bought a new iPod touch as a birthday present. Since I have never had a device that operates like a smart phone before (I know it's not exactly a smart phone), I thought I would begin to use it as a diary, note-taker etc. I have always done these things on paper, but now I think it would be a good idea to have them synchronized between iPod and computer.
My laptop is running Snow Leopard, which I believe is too old to exploit iCloud. So I have been trying to find out the "old fashioned" way of syncronizing an iPod and iCal on my laptop. I thought it would do it automatically during the usual iTunes sync, but apparently not. And I've found surprisingly little information on the web.
What I have done so far is try to set up an account on iCal. I clicked to add a new account, selected "Automatic" for account type, put my usual Gmail address in the e-mail address bar, and my Gmail password in the password bar. Then clicked create.
But as soon as I now try to enter anything in the calender, an error message comes up (I have redacted the event name and my Gmail username):
The server responded with an error.
Access to “[EVENT NAME]” in “[MY GMAIL USERNAME]@googlemail.com” in account “[MY GMAIL USERNAME]@gmail.com” is not permitted.
The server responded:
“HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden”
to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation.
Seems as though some mismatch between "gmail" and "googlemail" is the problem?
Anyway, I'm not even sure I want to start using Google calendar – that was just what iCal automatically gave me. Is there not an Apple equivalent (not iCloud) that would make things more compatible?
Since I'm starting from scratch, I thought this would be easy, but no such luck!
Thanks for any help!
Jon

Hey JonC84
Thanks for the question. You can definitely sync your new iPod touch with the local calendar on your computer (you won't need to setup an account like iCloud). The following article may help you achieve this:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes
You can sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes with other applications on your computer. This allows you keep all your information in sync across multiple computers and iOS devices. The settings for these items are all in the Info tab for your iOS device in iTunes. With your iOS device connected to the computer, select your iOS device. Then click the Info tab.
Calendars
To sync calendars with your computer, choose "Sync Calendars" or "Sync iCal Calendars."
- When syncing calendars, you can sync all calendars or sync specific calendars.
- You can limit the data that is synced to only events that have occurred in the last 30 days. The option can be changed to any number of days.
For additional information, see this article (while the article refers to iTunes 11, most steps are applicable for you):

How can I sync my calendar with outlook

This question has a couple parts to it. First, I am self employed and use Outlook as my primary calendar. With my BB7 device this syncing issue was easy but I find it so hard with my new Z30. My email is a rogers.com email. I have 2 email accounts on my device (personal and business which are both rogers.com emails. How can I sync my calendar with outlook and allow changes made in both outlook or the device appear updated on both outlook and my device? When I make a calendar entry in my phone it prompts me to use either my groups, my work email, my personal email and then I see BLINK with the name of my office computer. What should I be using as my default calendar? The one that says BBlink-Computer name or my business email address? Secondly is there a way to sync all my calendar entries with outlook to avoid personal and business conflicts? That is my BBM group calendar entries, personal email calendar entries and my business calendar entries? I'm really baffled by all this. I keep being told I need to set up an outlook.com email address. Do I really need to do this? I prefer not to. Essentially, how can I make all my calendar entries show on my office outlook calendar so I can see everything to avoid scheduling conflicts and not need to check my device before booking an appointment in my desktop outlook? Lastly I have my outlook set to show me Canadian Holidays. How can I get these to appear in my device calendar? Please... This has been baffling me since I for my device about a month ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have the latest link software on my PC and have the latest OS on my phone. Thank you in advance to all that reply. Regards, Dan

I think (and I'll double check) only the BBLink events will sync on a wired USB sync. I'm fairly certain of that.
You'll need to use your calendar syncing via an EAS email account (outlook.com, for instance, is free) to sync wirelessly. It works great. I use it and was a former tied to the USB sync guy as well... and I thought I was gonna die a painful death without it. I found more freedom this way.
This explains the process. But I don't think you'll get BBM Groups to sync.

How do I sync exchange tasks with iCal?

How do I sync exchange tasks with iCal?

For all of the wonderful and awesome things Apple has done and is doing (including winning me over from the Microsoft camp) there are certain things they absolutely are failing at. Syncing is one of them. If you want/need Exchange tasks synced with iOS 5 Reminders, USE OFFICE 2011 on Mac OSX Lion instead of iCal, Mail and Address Book and then LIFE IS WONDERFUL!!! Works beautifully... Exchange notes work great on Mac in Office 2011 but doesn't yet sync to iPhone notes (hopefully that will eventually get there too). Pass this around, I spent hours to figure this out...

How do I sync Outlook calendar with iPhone?

I am using Outlook 2011 on my laptop for my yahoo account. I receive all mail via Outlook and I use the calendar feature on Outlook as well. I set up the yahoo account also on my iPhone 4. I have no problems receiving/sending emails but I cannot figure out how to [wirelessly] sync the calendar from Outlook to the iPhone. Does anyone know if it can be done? And if so, how? Thank for the help.

Synchronization of calendars between Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and your Apple iPhone or iPod touch requires Apple iTunes. You can configure which items are synchronized during a one-time set up process. Good luck with your Mac!
After the initial setup, each time that you connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer, the changes made on your computer or device are synchronized.
Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer using the cable provided with your device or by placing the iPhone or iPod touch in the Apple Universal Dock.
iTunes opens automatically when connected to your computer.
In iTunes, in the source list, under Devices, click the entry for your iPhone or iPod touch.
Click the Info tab.
Under Calendars, click Sync calendars from, and then click Outlook.
Do one of the following:
To synchronize all calendars, click All calendars.
To limit the calendars that are synchronized, click Selected calendars, and then click the calendars you want to synchronize.
NOTE To select multiple calendars, press CTRL as you click each calendar name.
Click Apply.

One option is to share your iCloud calendars if all your devices are connected to iCloud and you are syncing your calendars with iCloud (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690). (You would need to be running OS X Lion on your iMac to sync with iCloud.)

How do I sync my iPad with iCal on my Mac or when using a google calendar?

I can't seem to create a calendar on my iPad or my Mac (using google calendar and/or iCal) that will work together to show up in both places. Any tips?

I used to use Google Calendars before I convertd to iCloud. Using Google, you can setup a new Exchange Email account on your iPhone. Under there, select calendars (you can also select contacts is you like, as well as email). On the Mac, you can add the Google Account and select which calendars to sync in iCal. This works fairly nicely, but if you enable iCloud, it will want to disable your Google sync.
As Alchroma suggests, you could also just setup yout iTunes to sync the calendars for you, but if you are like me and you don't sync your iPhone to your computer several times a day, the two get hopelessly out of sunc real fast...

Synced iPhone4 Calendar with iCal, No More Alerts On iPhone?

I recently synced all my iPhone4 calendar info. with iCal on my new iMac. Now, all the alerts and reminders I have set up pop up on my iCal on my computer, but not on my phone. I'd rather them on my phone because I'm not always at my computer. How can I fix this? Anyone? Thanks!

As a first step, try resetting the sync history on your Mac which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
After selecting reset sync history, restart your Mac and try syncing again.

How can I sync two calendars with Outlook?

My iPhone is set to Spanish and so it uses a calendar automatically named "Calendario." All my data is on there.
I would like to add the US holidays to my calendar.
When I tried to do this on Outlook, it added the holidays to its own default calendar called "Calendar" (which is otherwise empty). Nothing was added to "Calendario." There was no obvious way to bypass "Calendar" in favor of "Calendario" when adding the holidays.
So I have two calendars, one with all my data, the other with just the holidays. The two sets can merge (overlay) just fine on Outlook, but I can't figure out whether this is possible on the iPhone. It seems I can only set one default calendar on the device. It would be helpful to just be able to delete "Calendar" altogether, but Outlook doesn't let me do this.
Is there a way to merge these two calendars so I can see them together on my iPhone, or to delete "Calendar" and just put all the holidays on "Calendario"? Thanks.

I think (and I'll double check) only the BBLink events will sync on a wired USB sync. I'm fairly certain of that.
You'll need to use your calendar syncing via an EAS email account (outlook.com, for instance, is free) to sync wirelessly. It works great. I use it and was a former tied to the USB sync guy as well... and I thought I was gonna die a painful death without it. I found more freedom this way.

Syncing ipod touch with ical (and no mobile me) deletes select appointments

Ok, I realize this thread has been active in many places. Whenever I sync my ipod touch, appointments that I created in it seem to auto delete. It never makes it to ical and disappears from the ipod touch. I've unchecked the sync box in itunes and reselected it and still it has the same problems. Not sure why this happens but I have missed appointments because it will auto-delete unbeknownst to me. Please help, I don't have mobile me and don't know why this is happening.
Thanks!

1) Make sure you login to iTunes with your MobileMe account.
2) Make sure you sync your Mac with the MobileMe System Preference Pane.
* Be sure to go to the Sync tab and select Bookmarks.
3) Sync your Mac.
4) Now in iTunes, goto the Info tab. It should state that Your Bookmarks are being synced with your iPod/iPhone using MobileMe.

To do a video Podcast - You should use iMovie to create a movie and then save as a .mov file, upload to the internet and then update the RSS feed accordingly.
Garageband can be used to create an Audio Podcast, either share to iTunes with out the podcasting track and convert to MP3. Or for an enhanced Podcast - have the podcasting track enabled and then Share to iTunes - it will go over as an AAC file.
But GB3 is not going to do video - that is what iMovie

How to sync iPhone calendar with iCal on Mac?

When I migrated to iCloud, I lost all iCal data on my computer, but still have it on my iPhone. Any way to force iPhone calendar data onto my Mac? I have tried refreshing the calendar and turning the calendar on and off in my Mac's iCloud preferences.

Your profile indicates you are running Leopard v10.5.8.
You mac must be running Lion v10.7.2 in order to enable iCloud on your Mac. Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices
If everything is up to date and you've tried turning off Calendars and turned it back on and that didn't work, go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
