How do I synch with google calendar?

I can synch my google calender to my iPhone 5 calender, but I can't get it to work the other way around.  I've tried setting up an Exchange account, a CalDAV account, and my standard Gmail account (that I started with) and none of it changes the problem.  Any advice?

Sorry
I asked the wrong question
I realize if I do it that way I end up with two calendars, mobile me and google. I want the mobile me and google to be one and the same. Is that possible? So when I synch with my phone and mobile me it updates google but not in a separate calendar.
When I followed the import directions on google I ended up with two calendars on my phone, mobile me and google. I want them to be merged.
Thanks

  • ICal Alerts Disappear (synching with Google Calendar)

    I'm synching three Google Calendars to iCal: two work accounts and a personal account, all running on Google apps. These calendars are all synched to my iPhone as well. I have the default alert setting in iCal set at 10 minutes. The problem is that the alerts don't seem to be synching up to Google calendar.
    I noticed that none of my alerts were happening. After being late for a couple meetings as a result of this, I investigated. Here's what I've gathered.
    The default alert don't seem to stick.
    Additional alerts created in iCal don't stick either.
    Alerts created on my iPhone stick and synch up to Google Apps just fine - they show up in the Google Apps web interface as expected. However, these alerts dont' synch down to iCal.
    The problem is universal across all three accounts.
    Unlike the ongoing "can't delete events via iCal" issue that's well documented (and incredibly still not fixed) there's no mention of an alerts synch issue on the CalDAV known issues page.
    I had originally set up the Google accounts to have no default reminders added, so I wouldn't have to deal with the extra email/SMS reminders. I have now added a ten minute reminder to all these accounts as a workaround. Now, when I create events in iCal, the ten minute reminder sticks. I have no real idea how this works, but it's as if when synching, iCal sees that Google Apps has a ten minute reminder as well, and there's no conflict. However, if I change the reminder interval, it just disappears. Also if I add a second reminder, say 40 minutes to remind me to leave to drive somewhere, those simply disappear as well. It seems like the correct behavior would be to pass up whatever reminder is set in iCal to Google Apps - that's not happening.
    This is happening in iCal 5.01, running on OS X 10.7.2. Really frustrating - anyone have any ideas on how to fix or further troubleshoot? Thanks!

    So I got to researching again today, because the utility of calendars is greatly reduced without functioning reminders.
    There's a thread over on Google Groups that started in December about this very issue. There wasn't much helpful info until two days ago when someone posted about types of alerts and support between Google and iCal:
    If you set the default reminder in your google calendar preferences, when you add an event in ical, the default reminder shows up.
    In google I selected "pop-up" for my default reminder type.
    When you look at the type of reminder that is set in ical, if you had selected "pop-up" in google, you'll see ical calls it "message".
    I've always preferred to use the "message with sound" option in ical. So I tried changing my default alarm within ical.
    The reminder/notification/alarm disappeared when I changed it to "message with sound".
    When I added a new reminder that was just a message, it showed up, and didn't instantly dissapear. It also synced with my google calendar as expected.
    I can live without the "boink" sound when my alerts pop up on screen, so long as they're popping up and not disappearing. Hope this helps some, at least until it starts working like it used to.
    I had looked at the type of messages supported, but assumed that "message with sound" would simpy become "message" which is a "popup" to Google. Seems like that would be a more elegant handling of message incompatibility - "translate" the alert to a similar alert type, instead of just dumping it. Lame.
    Anyway - this is good enough. I don't care as much about the sound as simply having reminders again.

  • Problem Synching with Google Calendar

    Having difficulty syching 8900 with Google calendar. Downloaded google synch to phone. When I check the Calendar Properties it show Wireless Synchroniztion as "No". It won't let me change this.. When I try to synch. I get the message that says"Login failed, due to network problems, please check your settings" Service is with Tmobile. Not sure which settings are not right.

    The calendar options should say no. It will only say "yes" is if you're on a BES. I think I had that error when I first started using Google Sync a while ago. I think I just uninstalled and reinstalled the program after getting that error a few times and then I was able to log in and setup the program

  • How to sync icalc with google calendar

  • How to sync iCal with Google calendar (both ways)???

    I have been trying to sync my ical with my google calendar both ways.
    I got all new event created in google calendar syncing into iCal but i can't get the one created in iCal go into google calendar.
    Help please!!!!
    thx

    When entering a new event in iCal be sure your "google" calendar is highlighted on the left had side of your screen. That makes Google your default calendar as you add events. Or you can choose which calendar from the drop-down box in the details box when adding a new entry. The down side is that is seems you can only select one Calendar; so the "Home", "Work", "Untitled" options become moot if you want to sync back to google.
    If you already had events scheduled in iCal; you can right click on them, select "Calendar" and then choose your google calendar. When you refresh your google calendar that event should show up.
    You simply need to be sure what Calendar you're entering into. Also if you wait a few SECONDS the calendars DO sync without any need to manually synchronize them.
    So basically, ensure you're entering into the Google Calendar in iCal and wait a minute.

  • How to sync iCal with google calendar

    I am trying to sync my Google calander with my iCal calander . I have tried the support suggestions in Google help. Re: creating another account in ICal etc.. But that doesn't work.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    This is the Apple iCloud forum which has nothing whatsoever to do with syncing with Google.
    Try the Google forums, and see here: http://www.google.com/sync/index.html

  • Ical stopped synching with google

    i either get 2 copies of every event or they don't post to google calendar at all......how do I synch with google calendar since I use ical on my mac?

    Same thing here and it only started happening after installing Mountain Lion. Not sure what changed, but now my iCal will not connect to my google calendar. It's constantly asking for the PW and I know nothing has changed and the PW i've entered is correct.

  • How do I configure a usable synchronisation with Google calendar

    I think I have tried every permutation of configuration to synchronise Lightning with Google calendar.
    I have Thunderbird 31.1.2 and Lightning 3.3.1
    The GDATA provider has the well documented issue of either re-mailing all meeting attendees, or not sending out invitations to meetings, so this doesn't really work for me.
    I have succeeded in seeing my Google calendar by using the iCalendar(ICS) option, but whenever I add a new calendar event in Lightning I get a "An error occurred when writing to the calendar 'My Name'!
    Error Code : MODIFICATION_FAILED
    When I try using CalDAV I don't see the events in my Google calendar in the resulting calendar in Lightning. I'm not sure I have the right 'Location' parameter, I have multiple Google calendars, the details available on the various web forums are not very explicit about how to get the location when using multiple Google calendars.
    Finally the Post on the Mozilla support forum states that I should use the Google Calendar option, which is not present!
    I am sure this is possible, any help would be appreciated.
    I have now turned on full logging and see the error:
    [JavaScript Error: "[calCachedCalendar] replay action failed: null, uri=https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/{myusername}%40gmail.com/events, result=2147500037, op=[xpconnect wrapped calIOperation]"]
    I think I have solved this one already. Deatails of the correct CalDAV locations can be found here:
    https://blog.mozilla.org/calendar/2013/09/google-is-changing-the-location-url-of-their-caldav-calendars/
    and here:
    https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/caldav/v2/guide#connecting_to_googles_caldav_server
    It would be useful to update the Mozilla documentation accordingly. Can I help do that?

    Caldav works for me.
    I set it according to what is described here:
    https://blog.mozilla.org/calendar/2013/09/google-is-changing-the-location-url-of-their-caldav-calendars/
    Lightning doesn't let me edit a calendar's address once it's been inserted. I have to delete the existing calendar and then add it again.
    What documentation have you found to edit? It seems to me that for years it has relied on a page at google, and that disappeared when they stopped referring to the now defunct stand-alone calendar, Sunbird. I'm not sure there's ever been an authoritative reference owned by Mozilla. Those documents referring to endpoints aren't easy to find.

    You can sync your mail, contacts and calendar with Google Sync. Tasks and notes are not supported. (Notes syncing is not possible with MfE anyway.)

  • How do I change a recurring event on iPhone 5 which syncs with Google Calendar.  As soon as I change it on phone it reverts back to original.  Works on pc perfectly.

    Help.  How do I change a recurring event on iPhone 5 which syncs with Google Calendar.  Just reverts back to original.  Work perfectly on pc.

    Do you happen to have Dial Assist on? This is in Settings>Phone. This is what helps the phone identify international numbers when dialing, based on location. See if turning that off/on makes a difference. Unless you are making a number of international calls, I believe this can be left off. See the User Guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf  Page 49 has info regarding Dial Assist.

    You can disable this only on airplane mode. It is best to actually have a data plan because it costs varying on provider. Some are a nickel each MB making it $50 a GB and people rack it up to 5GB or higher sometimes.
    2) I have synced my contacts with Gmail. It shows me all my 1600 contacts. Is there anyway I can make my phone show only the contacts with a phone number?
    You can't filter out contacts unless it's in groups. You would have to go on your contacts on gmail and have non-phone contacts moved to a new group or removed completely.
    3) My WiFi turns off when I put my phone on standby and it goes to mobile network by default. Only when I take it off standby, wifi comes back to life. Is there any way I can change that as I want WiFi to be connected all the time?
    WiFi mode is on 24/7 only by a wall charger or computer-always-on USB sync. When the iPhone is put on sleep mode, the WiFi stays on (if) the charging outlet provided is left on.
    4) How do I sync google calendar with my iPhone calendar?
    Go to settings>mail>add mail>exchange>Gmail account info>(server: m.google.com) and then it'll ask calendar/contacts choices and mail is required to be disabled.

    There is no suich thing as a Google iPad.  iPads are made by Apple not Google. What device do you have exactly? If its made by Google its not an iPad.  It may be a Tablet though.

  • How do i sync my mac calendar with google calendar

    how do i sync my calendar app on my macbook pro with google calendar?

    Go to the Mail Contacts & Calendars system preferences and add your Gmail account to the computer. Then be sure to check the option to enable "Calendars & Reminders" for this account.
    When finished, the account should be available in the Calendars applicaiton and you should see your Gmail calendars as an option on the sidebar. They will not sync with your local calendars or those from other accounts, but you can interface with them in this manner.
