ICal Google CalDav to MobileMe and iPad Synch dis-connect.  HELP?

I recently added a Google CalDav account, so my iCal would synch with my new Android device. That part works fine. He is my question: iCal events using this Google account will NOT synch with either my iPad OR MobileMe.
What gives?

I think the answers are partly already in your question...
MobileMe has the important limitation that you either sync all calendars, or none. So, you are not going to be able to sync some of the calendars using one MobileMe account, and the others using another account. However, I can see two workarounds:
1) Use MobileMe to sync your work calendars, and Google to sync your personal calendars, or vice-versa.
2) If you really want to only use MobileMe, you could create two user accounts on your personal Mac, one for each MobileMe account. Your personal user account would only have your personal calendars, and your work user account would only have your work calendars. If you still wanted to be able to display your work calendars on your personal user account, you could publish the work calendars to the work iDisk (using the procedure in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2071 to password-protect them) and subscribe to them on your personal user account. But, as you pointed out, you would not be able to edit them; you would have to switch to the work user account to make changes to the work calendars.
Hope this solves your problem
P.S.: I have 12 calendars, so I win

  • ICal events different on iPhone and iPad

    why are the events on my single MobileMe account different or missing from my iphone4, to my wife's iPhone 3GS, and to the iPad2?  I would think according to the sync from MobileMe that it should be standard across the board.

    Greetings Zack,
    When all the devices and the data on them are behaving, they should all match.  Since you indicate the information is not the same, that would suggest there is a break in the chain of communication.
    Before doing any troubleshooting, backup your data:
    Backup your iPhone/iPad: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Backup your calendars on MobileMe.
    Follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4226
    Go to "backing up data" and then "Backing up from me.com/calendar"
    If you login to www.me.com/calendar and view your calendars on the MM website, is it correct and the most up to date?
    If so:
    1.) Ensure all your iOS devices are completely up to date with their software by plugging them into your computer and hitting update in iTunes.
    2.) Turn all the devices off and then back on.
    3.) If data is not consistent at this point it would be cleanest to disconnect all the devices from MobileMe and then re-connect them. 
    Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, > Your MobileMe account > "Delete Account"
    4.) Once the account has been deleted from all the devices and you've deleted the data off the devices, re-add your MobileMe account to each device one at a time.  This will prompt each device to download a fresh copy of your data from MobileMe and re-establish their connection.
    Hope that helps.

  • HT1277 Mail on my Mac computer does not update when I update my mail on my phone and iPad.  Can anyone help me with this?  Is there a setting I need to check?

    Mail on my Mac computer does not update when I update my mail on my iPhone and iPad. Can anyone help me with this?  Is there a setting that I need to check?

    All that you had to do was to sign into the old account in order to update those apps. What I mean is that you just needed to sign into that account in the store settings like I described and that should have worked. You didnt need to enter the credit card information again - you justed needed to use the old ID and password.
    Anyway, I think the good news is that if everything else is OK with the new account, just download iBooks with the new ID - it's a free app so its not like you have to pay for it again. I'm not sure what the other App is that you are talking about - but if it is the Apple Store App - that is free as well.
    Try this anyway, when you try to update iBooks, just use the old password if the old ID still pops up.
    Did you try signing into the store settings with your new ID and see what happens with the updates then?

  • Both iPod and iPad won't connect after update.

    Both iPod and iPad won't connect after update.  iTunes says "can't allocate a resource"

    I had the same problem after updating to iOS 7 today. I did follow the advice on another site, but additionally rebooted my iMac. Worked after that.
    Follow these steps to reset the Lockdown folder:
    Disconnect all iOS devices from your computer and quit iTunes.
    From the Finder, choose Go > Go to folder.
    Type the following and then press Return:
    /var/db/lockdown.
    The Finder window should display one or more files with long alphanumeric file names.
    In the Finder, choose Edit > Select all. Then, choose File > Move to Trash. Enter an administrator password if prompted.
    Note: Do not delete the Lockdown folder itself. Delete only the files contained inside the Lockdown folder.
    Reconnect your iOS device and open iTunes
    My Additional step: reboot the Mac. Your iPad should give the first indication that it has worked by asking you to "trust this computer" or some such. Agree. Then iTunes should have reopened with your iPad showing and syncing.

    That's not much to go on.
    What operating system and version are you using? Are you using the most recent version of iTunes? If so, did you update prior to this happening? What other changes might have triggered this? What troubleshooting have you done already and what was the result?

    hi, my iphone 4s is saying im not connected to the internet, my wifi is on and ive tried switching it off and on and nothing, still cant connect. help! it was working perfectly fine earlier today.

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Ical sync issue between Iphone and Ipad

    I seem to be having issues syncing events between my Iphone to my Ipad.  icloud is enabled on both and it appears that all the calendars are enabled for syncing.  Any help with this would be appreciated.

    I'm having this issue as well.  I have tried the add new account as was mentioned in other posts (going through the Advanced settings and changing the server location), but it appears that I would be duplicating accounts, and "that is not supported".  I also am having issues with alerts not going to me, but to my husband (who has a google.com email).  When I check the Address Book to see what the main contact card is, it shows my information, yet I am not receiving alerts and my email is not an option to select.  When I changed my Apple Id, he received the confirmation email (as did I).  What do I need to do to: 1) get alerts to come to me and not my husband and 2) sync my iCal with macbook, iPhone, and iPad?  Thanks!

  • ICal, Google Calendar, syncing problems and duplicate entries

    Hi everyone:
    I could use some help. Oy.
    At work, we use Google calendar, and that hosts my appointments. I find the Google web-interface impossible, and would like to use iCal to access the data on the Google servers. I have no problem doing that with iOS--my iPhone and iPad manage to sync up fine, and syncing works in both directions; i can add and delete either on Google or on the iOS devices and everything is fine.
    But on my desktop machine, I have problems of two sorts. First, once I follow the steps to add a calendar, the syncing seems broken; I can add and delete from the Google web interface, but nothing deleted from the desktop gets passed to Google. Second, I have many duplicate entries that show up on my desktop and some very old appointments that no longer should be on the calendar show up out of no where.
    What I'd love to do is a full reboot, eliminating all calendar data everywhere (except on the Google servers, of course, where the work stuff is stored) and start from scratch. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance--
    Roger

    Have you tried rebooted your Mac? (Not needed often, so we Mac users often forget to try this. ) Are you logged on with an admin account or a standard account? (Or one with Parental Controls enabled.)
    Sometimes I'll find the dialog window "behind" my other windows. Try not to click or move your mouse after you click the plus button. Or try moving windows around or minimizing them so that any windows that are hidden behind other windows are then shown. (In fact try closing all apps and Finder windows to reduce the possibility of this issue in the first place.)
    (BTW, your question really is separate from the original question, since the OP already has their Google account added to iCal and you are having trouble adding the account. In the future you'll want to start your own thread so that you can also mark posts answered or helpful.)

  • Its about internet browsing and google chrome app on my ipad air? Please help me?

    Im also using other apps like sky drive and drop box etc they are also not working they also you are not connected to wifi.
    But on google chrome i can browse and internet is working there properly.
    What is this please help is this serious issue or problem?
    Facebook is also working

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • I already have my iPod, iPhone and iPad synched to iTunes on my PC.  How many more iOS devices can I add (is there a limit)?

    I already have an iPod, iPhone and iPad connected to and synching via my Windows PC.  Can I add other iOS devices? How many more?  Will this all chance once iCloud becomes official?

    No limit to devices. The limit for authorized computers however is 5. iCloud has not been released yet but I should think not.
