Ical not syncing to google calendar

Hi everyone. I can't seem to find a solution to my iCal and Google calendar problem. Here is my information:
MacBook Pro - version 10.6.8
iCal - 4.04
I have all of my Google calendars set up in iCal. When I enter any events from within Google Calendar on the web, it then syncs flawlessly to my iCal...delegates included.
However, when I make a change in iCal itself on my computer, I get this error: The calendar https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user//www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user was not found on the server. Make sure the URL is correct.
I removed the / that gets inserted at the end of the above address like some have suggested but iCal keeps putting it back in there. I am also noticing that I don't have this problem when I enter events from iCal on my iPhone or iPad. It only happens on my MacBook Pro.
Please help!!!!!!!

According to Google: "Setting up iCloud sync has caused events to be wiped from Google Calendar for some of our users who were syncing information between iCal and Google Calendar. In response, we've stopped deleting the information until this issue is fixed. Until further notice, deleting any event in iCal will not remove this event from Google Calendar (for iCal 4 users, all changes made after a delete attempt will not be saved in Google Calendar). We've contacted Apple and we are actively working on this. We're also attempting to restore the deleted events. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, we'll keep you posted. As a workaround, we suggest you remove event in the Web version of Google Calendar (calendar.google.com). This change would be properly synced with your iCal."

Deleting event in iCal 5.0.1 not syncing with Google Calendar

When I delete an event from iCal, it does not sync with Google Calendar. However, when I create an event in iCal, it syncs just fine with Google Calendar. Creating and deleting events from Google Calendar syncs fine with iCal. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

12/13/2011 - call to google tech support
Recent support call with Google: iCal deleting events still broken. this is big for us. We have users that have accounts for and/or subscribe to multiple calendars, and took a while to teach them to use iCal, so web based calendars will be foreign to them (even though I like the web based). There is no timeline in place according to Google Tech Support. I feel like the issue is really Apple's issue, so Google is waiting on them to fix, this type of urgency(or lack of) is right up their alley. Oh well.
Does anyone have any suggestions on alternate calendar apps for Mac? Specifically for google calendars?
"Regarding the issue about not being able to delete Google Calendar events within iCal, as mentioned it is a known issue which unfortunately we don't have a time frame to offer you.

ICal stopped syncing with Google Calendar

My iCal recently stopped syncing with my Google Calendar.
Change: I decided to set up an application specific password (http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=185833)
Action: Doing this made me enter the application specific password on my MacBook Air for my Gmail set up confirmation for email.
Result: When that happened everything was syncing fine; email & calendar.
The next morning when I tried to launch my calendar on my Air I received the error message that my Air could not access the Google Calendar. The password was incorrect.
Assumption: I needed to set aup an application specific password now for the iCal on my Air.
Action: I removed the calendar in iCal preferences and created an app specific password and tried to set up the calendar again using the app specific password from Google.
Result: Selected Account Type (Google) Email (google email) Password (app specific password)
Error Message: Server with Secure Communication Unavailable - Your calendar account isn't on a server that can recive your calendar information securely. If a server isn't secure, others may be able to view your calendar information. To continue searching for your account on servers that may not be secure, and then set up the account it's found, click continue.
Action: I went into my Google Calendar settings and made the calendar public.
Note: When I originally set up my calendar I didn't get this message or have to make my Google calendar public.
Question: Why am I getting this error message now?
Change: Account Settings: prompted me now to set this up as a CalDav account....?
What the heck?

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 ?

ICal not connecting to Google Calendar - HTTP 404 error

Hi there
I've just bought my first Mac, and I'm running Mountain Lion, just updated to 10.8.1. When I set the system up, I fed in the details of my Google account, and it merrily put my Gmail into the Mail app, and Notes also syncs. But, the Calendar app is giving me continual problems, with this same error message:
"Your calendar couldn't be refreshed.
The URL https://calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user///calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct."
I've tried deleting and re-adding the Google calendar; the whole Google account; the iCloud account (because various fourms seem to think this is an issue) and none of it has helped. Any suggestions?
Thanks

From an email from Google Enterprise support. This is encouraging. The fix I found (clear Calendar caches) was temporary. It lasted about an hour before I started getting the oddities again. Problem is definitely with Google Apps. Who really knows though . . . could be something in Apple's programming too.
"Thank you for your patience while we work with your issue.
"At this time I’m in close consultation with a higher level support department. We are currently working on this issue. I’ll be updating you as soon as I hear back from them. I wish you have a great day."

IOS 7 iPad 2 Calendar not Syncing with Google Calendar

I recently updated my iPad 2 from ios 5.x to 7.0.4 and everything seems to be working fine... except the calendar. I went into settings, added my google account - which does not have 2-step verification - logged in normally, and made sure calendar sync was enabled. Calendar app did not show any of my calendars. I removed it, added it again; removed, rebooted, add, reboot; I made sure I am putting in the right account, contacts sync up correctly. I dont know whats wrong. I've waited a least 45 minutes for it to sync up - it didn't. Please help!
Thanks!

Hi,
I am writing about my wife's brand new Samsung Charge on Verizon. We managed to setup both her gmail account and her work exchange server account fine, except for the calendars:
Her Google calendar shows up fine, but I am unable to even see any other Google calendars that she has access to (both her own secondary calendars as well as calendars that others have shared with her) in order to select them to be visible.
Her exchange calendar says it is enabled (on the list of available calendars), but no events at all show up.
This behavior is with the latest software updates on the Charge (2.2.1 firmware, I510.EE4 build) using its stock calendar software. I did notice that if I use Smooth Calendar, it does list all of her Google calendars under its listing of available calendars, but it still only shows data from her primary calendar. This is also true using the Touch Calendar app, which leads me to believe that there is some problem within the Google Calendar sync software that is not allowing her calendars to appear correctly.
Thanks!
Hello whereizben,
I see you have posted same post in another thread. I have already replied to that posting with a solution. Please see the following link for my reply:
Re: Calendar will not sync with Exchange Server
Thanks, again, for posting!

My iPhone calendar is not syncing to Google Calendar or Outlook.

I was previously using MobilMe sync for calendar fine until the req 'upgrade' last week. Now cal WILL NOT sync to phone from outlook (2 hours on support with Apple. They have concluded it must be a Microsoft issue . . . however, it was working fine before the required upgrade). Anyway, MobilMe is now a boat anchor, so I am trying 2-way Google syncing to take the iPhone appts from my phone to Google --> and Google --> Outlook. The 2-way sync between Google and Outlook is fine, and I can see Google and the separate iPhone appts on my PHONE - however, I cannot get the phone appts to sync to Google so that they can sync to Outlook. Help!!!
Outlook 2007, Windows 7, iPhone 4, Frustrated infinity.

Hi, Ericka.
Yes, I have the Google sync app. It is doing the 2-way sync correctly between Google calendar and Outlook. On my iPhone I can see both my iPhone Calendar and the Google calendar. The challenge is that there isn't any syncing moving appointments from my phone to Google . . . which will then move to my Outlook. What is so frustrating is that all of this worked on the old MobilMe calendar. I don't know why they forced us to move to something that doesn't work!!!
Thanks for your help.

Double entries on ical when sync with google calendar

MY son has google calendar & I followed directions to sync his with my ical. When he sends something, no problem, but if I send something to his calendar, it ends up double on mine. One entry is mine, the other is from his & can't be edited or removed. How can I stop that from happening?

I share my calendar entries (iPhone Calandar / iCal) with a business partner using WIndows / Outlook.
I too have this double entry problem making the calendar view very cluttered...
Can't figure out how to fix this. On Google forums haven't seen it solved either.

Calendar will not sync with Google calendar. Won't accept my Gmail password.

iPhone 5s 16GB (2.9 GB free), iOS 8.1.3
When I attempt to enter an event in Calendar, I get a message "Password Incorrect. Enter the password for the Gmail account "Gmail'".
But when I try to enter my Gmail password, the app won't accept it and the same message appears. And entries don't show up on my Google calendar..
I tried turning off calendars in iCloud but that didn't help. Also turned off all calendars
This is not an operating system issue - keeps happening through several iOS updates.

Correction: Turned off all calendars in calendar app other than Google calendar for my Gmail account.

That and other issues will happen if one tries to use a unsupported system with new services / software that was never designed for the system in use.
Apple clearly says you need Lion 10.7.2. How on earth can you expect that it would work in 10.6.2 ??

ICloud calendar not syncing with Mac calendar

I deleted the default "all calendars" calendar from my iCloud calendar in a browser because it was the only way to solve a bizarre issue where I had 2 sets of every event from an extra calendar that I had subscribed to and then unsubscribed from in Google Calendars. After I fixed my Google calendar (deleted, re-imported) and re-subscribed to the Google calendar from my Mac calendar everything looks back to normal in my Mac calendar and on all my devices. HOWEVER...I can't get anything from the Mac calendar (which is getting its data from my Google calendar) to come back and repopulate the iCloud calendar viewed from a browser.
If I enter a new event in either the iCloud or the Mac calendars it appears in the other calendar within a minute, but all of the events that populated the Mac calendar when I imported my old google calendar to repopulate it have never migrated (unless I manually go to each event and change it from a gmail calendar event to an iCloud event in the Mac calendar).
Help! Any ideas??

iCloud will not sync your Google calendar. To get it into iCloud, you have to export it as an .ics file, then import that to an iCloud calendar on your Mac. See http://www.groovypost.com/howto/osx-lion-import-google-calendars-icloud/.

Google Calendar Delegates in iCal Not Syncing

Hello Everyone.
I've been stumped on my issue for some time and have been researching but found nothing.
OSX: 10.6.8
iCal: 4.0.4
My boss uses google calendar. I'm his assistant and he's shared that calendar with me so that I have access to it through my google account and I can add and delete events.
I like using iCal. So I synced my iCal up with my google Calendar. I used the calDAV method of syncing. I can add and delete events to my calendar just fine. I was able to add and delete events to my boss' calendar by creating a delegate calendar through iCal. Everything worked fine. However my boss added another calendar to his google account. I didn't think this would have any effect on my ability to edit events as I simply set up my boss' new calendar as another delegate in iCal.
The problem now is that I cannot get either of my delegate accounts to sync.
I deleted my calDAV and started from scratch in iCal. I added my googole account and delegates. Everything works fine. All of my boss' events load into my iCal but as soon I I try to edit one of them my delegate will no longer sync.
It seems like this should work and be easy but I cannot find a solution to keep my delegates syncing.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I also have a mobileMe calDAV that syncs just fine with iCal.
Thanks!
-Drew

Similar problem here. I can select the delegate calendars within iCal, but it simply doesn't sync any events for the delegate calendars. I'm also returned an error if I try to manually subscribe to the calendars, e.g. using a direct link from the Google calendar settings.
Either way, I think it's all related to a known block Google have implemented to deal with an iCloud conflict. Keep an eye here for a solution...although it's been several months already obviously:

NB. The iPhone select solution will get things rolling on any iOS devices.

Calendar Invitations Using iCal Synced with Google Calendar via Exchange

I have a very complicated system set up for syncing multiple calendars. I use CompanionLink to sync my work Lotus Notes calendar to iCal. I then sync my Google Calendar and my husband's Google Calendar to iCal via Exchange. I've recently added the iCal step as a way to get push notifications. That's the only reason I've gone to iCal as I have CalenGoo on my iPhone and it's been working great up to now. However, the only notifications it can do are through email. I have 2 questions.
First - using the iCal program on the iPhone, I tried to invite attendees for a meeting. No invitations were sent. Is there something that has to be set up to make this happen? Also, is it supposed to be sending them through Google or through my own email (mobileme is the primary email account on this phone)?
Second - Is it possible to mark events as Private or Public? I don't want personal events to show up in my work calendar so that others can view them.
Thanks!

I am having the exact same problem with my ipad 2. Hope someone can help....

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.

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 ?

ICloud for PC not compatible with Google calendar sync?

I have a PC (Win7), a MacBook Pro, an iPhone and an iPad 2. Since MobileMe stopped their calendar sync, I have used 2-way Google calendar sync between all of my devices successfully to keep my calendar updated on all devices. I continued to use MobileMe to keep my contacts synced, but that option is ending this week, so I purchased CodeTwo to sync my contacts via iCloud. I installed Code Two and the iCloud control panel on my PC, and set them to sync only contacts, and blam ... my PC calendar no longer syncs to my Google calendar. All of the other calendars are syncing to Google and each other.
My PC calendar is the most important one and I need it to sync to all devices. I use Google calendar sync since it handles the Outlook group meeting invitations I receive & send through my workplace seamlessly (and iCloud does not). So using iCloud for my calendar is not an option.
How do I fix this?

After about an hour on the phone with Apple support, we discovered that somehow there was more than one calendar - one that I generally use and two marked archive. One was actually my Outlook archive folder, one was the Outlook default calendar (which was also marked archive) which is the one that WAS syncing with my Google calendar (but that we couldn't see), and the third calendar which is the one that I thought wasn't syncing with Google Calendar.
So now my question has changed - where did this mystery calendar come from. At one time I did have MobileMe installed on my computer for both calendars and contacts. I stopped using MobileMe for my calendar when it stopped syncing automatically and I uninstalled MobileMe today as part of our troubleshooting. Is it possible that when I installed the iCloud control panel on my PC and set it to sync contacts only, that it picked up the MobileMe calendar? In any event, I need to get rid of the unexpected "archive" folder and start syncing Outlook's default calendar. Any ideas how I do that?
There are days when computers completely drain me.

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
