HT2513 How do I syncing iCal with Google Calendar with 2-step verification turned on?

MacBook Pro
Lion 10.7.3
I am writing to ask for help in connecting my iCal to my google calendar with 2-step verification turned on.
While google has application specific passwords set up, they don't seem to work through iCal or though Mail, Contacts and Calendars. Any ideas or solutions would be great.
Thanks

Thanks Kao. I've tried that. Didn't work for me.
I found a reply in another thread that indicated that after setting up in Mail, Contats and Calendars I needed to delete my account from within iCal then recreate it in iCal using the application specific password. I did that. iCal seemed to accept it, I've closed and reopened a few times and it seems to be working now without the errors.
I was able to get it to work yesterday temporarily - hope it sticks this time.

How do i sync ical to google calendars with Leopard?

Hi I am trying to syn two macbooks ical to google calendars. I can do it on one by going ical>preferences>accounts>+account>
which pops up a box with Accounts information : server settings: Delegation along the top and description: username:password:fullname:refreshcalendars along the left
But after ical>preferences>accounts>+account> on the other older macbook with Leopard OS the pop up is more basic with no tabs across the tops just down the left description :username:password: account URL
But when I input exactly the same info it says the login failed - your password was rejected by the server but the password is absolutely correct and I have double checked it by logging in else where.
Any advice?

I found the answer.
The computer that I was having problems adding the Ical cal dav account to for google calendars has iCal 3 software;
This is how to set up the account after turning on 2 step verification in google and creating a application specific password
Set Up Google Calendar iCal Sync in iCal 3
To set up Google Calendar iCal synchronization manually:
Select iCal | Preferences... from the menu in iCal.
Go to the Accounts tab.
Click + beneath the Accounts list.
Enter "Google Calendar" under Description:.
Type your Google Calendar account user name (say, your Gmail address) under Username:.
Enter the Google Calendar account's password under Password:.
Expand Server Options.
Type "https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/" (not including the quotation marks) underAccount URL:.
Append your Google Calendar user name to that.
Append "/user" (excluding, again, the quotation marks) to the that.
Finally, you could have something like "https://www.google.com/ calendar/ dav/[email protected]/user" under Account URL:.
Click Add.
Highlight the newly added account in the Accounts list.
Go to the Delegation tab.
Make sure all calendars you want to access in addition to your default Google Calendar calendar are checked.
Close the Accounts preferences window.

How can i sync a CalDav google calendar with my local calendar in iCal?

Hi,
I have a google calendar as CalDav-account in my iCal. It works perfect. Now i'd like to sync the google calendar with my local calendar, without copy/paste for every date. Ist there any possibility?

I just discovered that when you set up CalDAV delegate accounts in iCal, you are really moving google calendars into iCal, not the other way around. So for everything to sync up you must enter events in the delegate calendars in iCal, not in your original iCal calendars.

How do I sync iCal on my mac with OS 8 devices

Hi jgiolma,
Since you do not mention what version of the Mac operating system you are running on your MacBook Pro it is a little hard to answer your question. For computers running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later one way to sync your calendars would be to use iCloud. See this article for minimum system requirements for iCloud -
System requirements for iCloud
Information on using iCloud for your calendars can be found here -

More general information about iCloud is available here -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Syncing iCal to Google Calendars

I am using 10.3.9 and don't intend to upgrade until Leopard (due to expense) I have iCal 1.5.5 and iSync 1.5.
Because I cannot sync directly from iCal to my Sony Ericsson K750i mobile phone I have attempted to solve this by using Google Calendar to which I can export iCal, and using GooSync I can sync from Google Calendar to the phone.
Does any one know of a way of syncing iCal to Google Calendar as the export option is limited and time consuming compared to a true sync.
Even a way of exporting individual events would be preferable to eporting the entire calendar and would be almost as good as syncing, but my understanding is that I cannot export snippets in this way. I would love for someone to tell me I am wrong.

How can I sync my Outlook 2010 calendar with Gmail Calendar now that Google Sync is no longer available

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

How can I sync the iPhone's calendar with my iCal?

I tried many different things and I couldn’t sync my iPhone’s calendar in my mac. I don’t know what’s going on.. It was supposed to be easy...
Any suggestions on how to resolve? Thanks!

If calendar events are not syncing from the iPhone to iCal on your mac, try Resetting the Sync History as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030
Then enable calendar syncing in iTunes and choose the Merge option on the initial sync.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2481 provides additional advanced troubleshooting tips that may help, if the issue persists.

How do I sync my Macbook Air Calendar with my iphone 4s?

I can't get my Macbook Air to show my calender events from my iPhone 4S. How can I sync them?

How would you like to sync them - by cable connection, over wifi, or over iCloud? You should only use one of these three methods.
To use cable connection, attach your charging cable between the iPhone and Mac, open iTunes, go to the iPhone tab, click Info, and make sure Calendar sync is enabled, and that all the calendars you need are set to sync. Click Sync.
To use wifi connection, you must first connect via cable - under Info, you can set "Sync over wifi". You can now disconnect the cable, but your iPhone must be attached to power in order to sync.
To use iCloud, set up iCloud sync of calendars on the Mac first - go to System Preferences, iCloud, and turn on Calendar sync. After a few minutes, log into http://icloud.com with your appleid and make sure the calendars are there. Once that's done, go to the iPhone, Settings, iCloud, and turn on calendar sync. Again, it will take a few minutes to sync.
