I can't sync my google calendar to my iMac running Yosemite

I have been trying to setup my google calendar account in my 27" iMac (late 2013) running Yosemite but so far has been unsuccessful. I tried to setup the Google account in SystemPreference/Internet Accounts. I can get the Mail to work but when I checked the Calendar, it will pinwheeled for awhile and pop up an error message saying " There's an error setting the Calendar account".
Anyone can help?

Hi, this has worked for a few...
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
10.7 & 10.8…
System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Also, turn off IPv6:
System Preferences » Network » AirPort » TCP/IP tab » Configure IPv6
Or whatever Interface you use.

  • How can I sync my Google calendar (on my PC) with my iCloud calendar

    How can I sync my Google calendar on my PC to iCloud so that it is the calendar on my iPhone 5 and iPad Air?

    iCloud won't sync your Google calendar but you can add it to your devices as explained here: https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/151674?hl=en.

  • Can iCalendar sync with google calendar?

    Can iCalnedar sync wth google calendar?

    Have been using BusyCal app (a paid app), in order to handle this bridge and have the ability to "publish" my syncing Google Calendar to a website...  Anyone know if iCal (thru iCloud) now gets along with Google calendar (MULTIPLE 8+ sub-calendars) to keep events syncing?.... Don't want to upgrade to OS until I find out that my BusyCal has been replaced with a reliable replacement...

  • Can Icloud sync with google calendar and gmail?

    We use google calendar at my office and share it with our staff. I thought we would be able to sync those calendars with icloud and google. Before icloud, I set up an exchange account on Ipad, iphone, imac and it works well for calendar and email.  I thought I could replace that sync with icloud, but it seems to not be designed that way. Should google calendar and gmail users stick with google?

    THANK YOU ithos! 
    I have searched and searched to try and find a way to sync my Google calendars with iCloud.
    You don't exactly say how to make this happen, but you gave me enough nuggets to put it together.  Thank you for responding and helping me put it all together.
    I have 5 Google calendars (Family, Work, Church, Extended Family Birthdays, US Holidays).  My wife, two different assistants and I all share and update the calendars.  I want all this to continue since it affects every aspect of my life.  I sit at a PC at work and need to be able to view all those calendars during the work week, I also need to be able to view and edit from work (pc), iPhone, wife's iPhone, assistants computers, and our home (mac).  So, staying Google - for now, is what I need. 
    I just upgraded to the 4S and Siri is one of the main reasons.  Without iCloud syncing with my calendars Siri is USELESS with calendaring stuff.  So, I have to have Siri able to view my calendars as well. 
    So, with that info, here's how I got it all to work. 
    For those of you who need a start to finish explanation, here it is:
    1. Computer running the OS Lion (mine's an iMac)
    2. Open iCal on the Mac
    3. Open your Google Calendar
    4. In iCal go to iCal --> Preferences --> Accounts. 
    Make sure iCloud is listed under Accounts.  This was my default, so I didn't have to make any changes.  If yours lists something different, sorry.  I don't know how to change it.  But I believe this is a KEY component as ithos above mentions that the subscription be 'located' on iCloud.  
    5. In iCal go to Calendar --> Subscribe
    This will force a pop up asking you for the URL of the calendar you are trying to subscribe to. 
    Where do you find this URL?    I found this article from 2006 that gives the low down:
    http://www.tuaw.com/2006/04/13/howto-subscribe-to-a-google-calendar-using-ical/
    Don't worry, even though it's from 2006 it still works.  Here are the steps in a nutshell, but you should read the short article so you don't miss anything.
    6. In Google Calendar you need to dig into EACH calendar that you want to 'Subscribe to' and find the unique URL for that calendar.  This will allow you to then force iCal to look at and scrape the data from this calendar as often as every 5 minutes.  As you follow the articles steps (they are very easy) then your iCal calendar will populate with the Google calendar data from the calendar you subscribed to.  I had to do this for EACH calendar I wanted to show up on my iCal calendar.
    7.  I then grabbed my iPhone and asked Siri, "What does my day look like tomorrow?"  She responded with all my iCal / iCloud (which are all subscribed to my Google calendars) calendar data.  I smiled
    This ONLY allows the Google info to be pushed to iCal / iCloud.  It doesn't allow the info to go the other way. 
    It won't let Siri manipulate the iCal/iCloud calendar or the Google calendar.  But at least Siri can see what's already there.  So, a step in the right direction. 
    Good luck!

  • Can I transfer my iWeb files to new iMac running Yosemite

    I have recently purchased a new iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2. I have a set of iWeb files that I was working on but had not yet published as a website on my old iMac which is running OS X 10.5.8. Is it possible to transfer these files to the new mac? I can't find any iWork or iLife files in the Applications folder on my new mac.

    Yes, you can transfer the files, but you will be unable to open them, because as you have found, new Macs have not shipped with iWeb installed on them for a long time now - iWeb as you may or may not know is very old software now that has not been sold or supported by Apple for at least 3 years.
    The only other way that you will be able to get iWeb onto your new Mac is buy a copy of iLife 11 or iLife 09, both of which contained the final version of iWeb - which is iWeb 09.  You would need to purchase this from Amazon.  You could try an old installation CD that came with your other Mac if you still have it and you could try installing iWeb onto your new iMac from that, but if it does not work, then you'll have to buy a copy of iLife 11 or 09 from Amazon.
    Your other alternatives of course are to find some new web creation software that is supported or you continue to use iWeb on your old Mac and just update and publish your sites from that machine.
    In the end though, it might just be easier to bite the bullet and move onto some new software and re-build you site with that.
    Software that is worth taking a look at is RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, WebAcappella 4, Flux V and EverWeb.  Then don't forget all the online website builders that you have, that are slightly different, such as WordPress.com, Wix.com and others.
    Other alternatives are then the Content Management Systems such as Drupal, Joomla and WordPress.org.
    I would suggest that you take a look at EverWeb first though - it is very much like the iWeb interface and can do a lot more than iWeb could out of the box, such as contact forms included, SEO included, drop down menus, master pages, support for PayPal with widgets and lots more.
    Take and look and you can download a trial version before you buy.
    There are lots of different options available to you, but ultimately, if you want to continue using iWeb on your new Mac, then you'll have to buy iLife form Amazon.  Time to move on perhaps?!!

  • 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

  • Can't sync with Google Calendar - exclamation point beside cal name

    I am trying to sync iCal with Google Calendar using this recipe:
    http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=99358
    However, once I have entered my Google calendar info, I only get an exclamation point beside the calendar name of the calendar I just created.
    I get no error message, nothing, just an exclamation point.
    Any idea what's wrong?

    Just tried creating a brand new Google-account, but I get the same error when I try to sync it with iCal ...
    ... which leads me to believe this is an iCal-error?

  • Can Exchange syncing of Google Calendar sync farther back than 9 months?

    When I set up the iPad to sync using exchange, I expected that all calendar data would be sync'ed. There is a sync preference that allows the user to choose Events 2 Weeks Back, 1 Month Back, etc., and I have chosen All Events. However, when I look at the iPad calendar, some events farther back than about 9 months are not sync'ed.
    The google calendar is identical to my iCal (I use busysync to keep them synced), and both have events going back about 6 years.

    Accessing a Google account as an Exchange account with the iPad's Mail application is still relatively new and still a BETA I believe. Most new things that Google introduces remains a BETA for an indefinite period of time.
    If no change after deleting and recreating the account on your iPad, I suggest contacting Google technical support to report this problem.

  • How can I sync multiple google calendars (one 1 account)?

    I am wondering if it is possible to sync multiple calendars from my google account to my iCal account. I had one calendar that I sync to iCal and today I added another calendar for my work schedule to google and iCal hasn't pulled it up. Please advise.
    Thanks in advanced!

    Anyone? This is extremely important.
    Thanks again.

  • Can I sync my iCal calendar to my husband's Google Calendar?

    I have read many discussions about this here and on other forums, but can't find an answer that works for what I'm trying to do.
    I use iMac, iPhone and iPad and keep track of our family's many activities on 3 iCal calendars (so I can use the different colors to track what each kid is doing.) I would like my husband to be able to view and modify these calendars.  He is on an Android device, uses Google Mail and a PC.
    I can easily sync his Google calendar to my iCal using advice from this Google forum (http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=151674).  I cannot figure out how he can sync my calendar to his Google calendar. 
    I have exported my iCal calendar and he has imported it into Google calendar just fine, but it is a static picture of the calendar when I export it so doesn't really help keep him up to date.
    I have shared the calendar per the link by Roger Wilmut1 (link: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479) on this  discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4599543?start=0&tstart=0.  However iCloud is requesting an iCloud account from him to "Join" the calendar in Google calendars.
    If he set up an iCloud account (how??  I don't know) could he then access my iCal and sync it into his Google calendar?
    I'm trying to figure out if I should just give up on iCal and switch to a Google calendar.  It is working so nicely right now with my iPhone and iPad I would love to just keep using iCal if possible.  Most of the advice I have seen describes how I can link to his Google calendar (done, but not what I want to do) or says I should move to Google Calendar and stop using iCal. 
    Would appreciate any solutions you might offer.

    I've been using iCloud since it's inception as "mac.com" or whatever it was called. I've been able to Sync Outlook Exchange Calenars to my iMac, iPhone and iPad. However, I cannot get iCal (when viewed in iCloud) to display Exchange or Google Calender items.
    It's odd, all other Mac versions of iCal are happy e.g. iMac, MacBook Air, iPad Air, iPhone etc. But nothing when I login to icloud.com and look at the iCal there.

  • ICal is no longer syncing with google calendar

    I keep getting the error that the url is incorrect when syncing ical with google calendar. It just stopped working today for some reason!
    When I look at the settings I see it adds an extra / at the end of the server path. When I delete that it syncs ok once only and then reverts back to the same problem! Help as I use this calendar to sync with google calendars on my imac so that i have the same calendar on my android phone!

    the same is happening to me.
    All my cals have been syncing just fine. Upgraded my iphone os5. upgraded lion on laptop. And for some reason, now i'm opening ical today and trying to edit, i am suddenly getting URL errors. Also i cannot find a way in the new ical (with lion) to unsubscribe from things.
    My iphone seems to be updating ok as it's syncing from the google cal server... but if i want to add or edit anything to my google cals in ical, it's not letting me do anything.
    Any ideas anyone ?

  • Downloaded (free) CalenMob app to sync to google calendar, and it only shows my calendar entries but not the entries of my coworkers I share the calendar with. How do I sync to google calendar so I can see the entries of people I share my calendar with?

    I downloaded the free CalenMob app to sync phone with shared google calednar at work, but I can only see the calendar entries of some of my coworkers but not all - even though all of our calendars are shared.  Is CalenMob the best app to use for syncing to google calendar? Do I need to enter the coworkers' gmail account info onto my phone in order for their calendar entries to show up on my phone calendar?

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox
