ICal made google calendars "shared" with themselves

Somehow two (of my three) google calendars which all used to show up under my g-mail account in ical recently were changed to being labeled as "shared." However, these calendars are not shared with anyone. When I look at them on my iPhone, they are labeled as shared with themselves. For example, the calendar labeled "School" says it is "Shared with School." Any idea what I did wrong or how to change this back?

I'm having this same issue - it's very frustrating.
Did you ever figure it out?

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 map the category in Outlook to ICal for Google Calendar Syncing

I have the syncing working between Outlook 2011 and iCal and Google Calendar; however all my events come in with a category of "No Category" into iCal. Unless I open iCal and manually change "No Category" to my google calendar it will not sync with Google Calendar. Does anyone know how I can have the category come from Outlook to iCal and default it to my Google Calendar?

If it is a Bluetooth mouse, you might find something here:

Sync from ical to Google calendar

Oddly I found this info nowhere on the net. There's lots of advice to sync Google to iCal, but getting the iCal calendars already on your mac synced to Google ? Things become hugely complicated and mostly require 3rd party apps. When in fact it's relatively simple.
1) Sync Google to iCal. Google based calendars will appear underneath your desktop based calendars in the left hand bar of iCal. Google calendars are synced fine, but your desktop calendars are not, and that is the problem (for the moment).
2) Select (highlight) one of your desktop calendars. File - Export and save the file somewhere on your Mac.
3) In Google Calendar (on the internet, not in iCal), create a new calendar and give it the name of the desktop calendar you just exported.
4) In Google Calendar, choose Import and select the file you created on your Mac. Assign it to the new calendar you created in Google.
Bingo, the calendar now appears in Google under the same name as your desktop. It also reappears a few moments later in iCal (when iCal resyncs with Google) under the Google section in the left hand bar of iCal. BUT all the entries for that calendar now appear double in iCal, once for the desktop version and once for the Google version. So :
5) Deselect the desktop version (or remove it - you can always reimport the exported file if necessary)
6) Proceed the same way for the rest of your desktop based calendars.
You now have all your calendars both on Google and iCal (including all past events) and they will remain synced from now on. No third party app required. The only limitation I've seen so far is that you can't create calendar groups (to archive the calendars you no longer need, for example) in Google.
Hope this helps.

I thought the answer would be CalDav. Publishing your calendars to your server or mobileme. But when I did this nothing showed up in Gcal.

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.

I want to export iCal to Google Calendar on a PC

I've searched a bunch of forums but none of the instructions match. They all say click on the calendar you want to export, then click file, export etc etc
The problem is that on a PC, there are no file/export options. All I have are calendars on the left and I can click a button the "share" the calendar.
So anyone know how to export iCal to Google calendar on a PC? Thanks.

Found it. FYI, you have to "share" the calendar you want to back up or export. Copy and paste the URL given into your browser, but do NOT hit enter. Change the "webcal" at the beginning to "http" then hit enter. It's automatically downloaded to your default location. Then you can import the ICS file directly into Google calendar.

Is it possible to have my Google calendar sync with my droid but not sync my Google email??

I love having my google calendar sync with my phone. However, it is pulling down my email as well with more information than I would like stored in my droid.

Thanks for your help! I have been fooling with this and at some point must have turned the "sync" off for email. Glad you gave me the path to get there and see that it was actually turned off.

Why can't i add events to calendars shared with me?

After i updated my MacBook Pro, i could not add events to the calendars shared with me. When i try to put an event in another calendar, it is not there.. I have the same problem on my iMac.

I was able to fix this problem with the information I found on the link pasted below. (I had two calendars, and the "default" calendar was not set to my iCloud calendar.)

ICal syncs Google calendar with iPad and iPhone but not MacBook Air

Hi there,
Sorry to post another thread about syncing issues, but the solutions posted in the ones I looked at didn't quite solve my problem, so I'm wondering if I'm having an issue that's specific to the way I've set things up with my devices?
I created a Google account for the sole purpose of having a Google calendar that I could share with my Dad. We both access this Google calendar through iCal.
My Dad generally checks or posts updates using iCal on his iPad and iPhone. Meanwhile, I'm using iCal on my MacBook Air, which FWIW is also running Snow Leopard. (I don't have an iPad or iPhone - this is my only means of accessing the calendar.)
Any change he makes on the calendar will show up on both of his devices, but not mine. Any change I make will not show up on his devices.
I logged into the Google account in a web browser (Chrome, FWIW) and checked the calendar through the same browser - all of his changes aren't showing up on it, but mine are.
I had my Dad reload the same Google calendar in his devices (i.e. delete the account and add it back again) and confirmed he's using the right Google address and password. This doesn't do anything to solve the problem.
What else am I missing? It's a little frustrating trying to fix this because my Dad's in another state so I don't see him that often, and even though I taught him how to use an iPad and an iPhone, he's still not the most computer literate person, so talking him through this is a little tricky.

On the MBPro and the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
Switch Calendars off then back on.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

Can I add a calendar such as ical or google calendars and have it expand the date?

In Google calendars or iCal you click on the date in the month view and you see the day itself listed with what is going on that day. Is there a way to add an ical or google cal to iweb that would show the full month, but when the particular day is clicked would either expand to show a fair amount of information for that date, or show that dates info in a seperate dialogue box next tot he calendar?

Go to Google calendar, grab the code and paste it in a html snippet.
Explanation here :

https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/41207
What the calendar can do is up to Google. iWeb has no control over it.

How do I get reminders to work between ical and google calendar

I have searched and searched, read dozens of posts, and still have found nothing that shows how to get reminders to work in ical. One post said to disable all event reminders in the google interface-did not make any difference; setting them up in google-did not work; etc etc
Specifically, I am on a macbook pro, snow leopard, ical 4.0.4; my wife is on the same system, but using an iMac.
since snow leopard does not support the cloud, and mobilme is gone, we were 'forced' to use google calendar to sync events between our two computers; that part seems to work fine; most of the time.
But neither of us can get a reminder to pop up in ical, when the event is one that goes to google; if the event is one that is "on my mac", then those kind of event reminders do work.
this is not about syncing reminders; it is about me tring to make a medical appt event remind me a few hours before, so I don't forget it, like happened last week!!
Mainly I am expecting anyone that responds to this post to say, yes you are right, there is no way to get a 'caldav' event reminder to work anymore.
If anyone says "I found a way..." I will be knocked over :-) (but overjoyed); I am happy to use terminal, plist editor, or anything else, if someone can fix this.

can anyone help with this, even if just to confirm that there is no fix?

Integrate Google Calendar API with Business Catalyst

Hi there,
I don't think this can be done but thought I'd ask here before throwing in the towel.
I have a client website that uses an embedded Google Calendar. Uses iframe, works great, no issues.
The client (a school) would like to display a list of upcoming events for the year (term dates, holidays, important events, etc), using info from the Google Calendar (which we input in the Google Apps end).
I've looked at the "Agenda View" (Change calendar views - Calendar Help) but it is too inflexible to accomplish what I'm wanting. I've also tried FullCalendar (FullCalendar - Full-sized Calendar jQuery Plugin) and this also insufficient for what we're trying to do. I've also looked into is parsing the Google Calendar RSS feed as a list of events, but I believe I need access to server-side code for this.
I'm sure the Google Calendar API will enable me to do everything I want but my understanding is that it relies on being able to access server-side code which of course isn't possible with BC.
Has anyone found any way to integrate the Google Calendar API, or have any workarounds, suggestions, etc, that I haven't already covered?
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
Luke

Credit goes to Mario for this post here: Display an external RSS feed in BC? which ended up providing the solution to my problem.
You can display public Google Calendar info via RSS by going to Settings > Shared: Edit Settings (under the Sharing column) > Calendar Details tab > Calendar Address (click on the XML icon)
This will provide a feed address which can then be displayed using zRSSFeed as per Mario's post.

Import my iCal into Google Calendar

The new Google software makes it easy to copy the Google Calendar into iCal but when I try to import my iCalendar into Google Calendar, I have to select a calendar. I have no idea which of the files in /Library/Calendars to select. How do I tell?

You may want to import all of them. There is a different calendar folder for each group that you have in iCal (like work, home, etc). If you don't want to import all, go to /Library/Calendars and inside each .calendar folder is an events folder with .ics files inside. Open any of these files and it will start iCal and take you to the event so you can find out which group it's in.
