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 ?

  • 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.

  • IPhone will no longer sync with Google calendar

    3 days ago my IPhone 4 stopped syncing with Google Calendar. I'm not aware of making any changes. I've done homework & and followed these steps:
    -- Synced with ITunes: not syncing with ICloud; not syncing calendar
    -- redone the Google Mobile setup procedure for my IPhone
    -- limited my IPhone Calendar choices to only Google, i.e nothing checked for "All on my IPhone"
    -- Set the time zone to Houston
    Nothing doing. There are other folks with this problem, but 1 or more of the above worked for them...
    Any ideas? I sure appreciate any help.

    After installing iPhone 3.0 and iTunes 8.2 several weeks ago, my Outlook calendar sync stopped working. I have tried every hint or trick I could find to no avail. The iTunes SW never reports errors, and I cannot determine just where the SW problem exists. I have cleared my iPhone contents and performed a restore/reset from iTunes. I re-installed iTunes several times, including the latest version (8.2.1.6) today, but nothing works. I spoke with an Apple Expert with no success; pleasant and empathetic, but with no troubleshooting skills. He suggested a replacement iPhone, which makes little sense to me.
    I have a colleague at work whose Outlook calendar sync also stopped working after installing the latest SW. Does anyone have insight in this situation?

  • 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.

  • Ipad calendar has stopped syncing with google account

    Ipad has stopped syncing with Google.  Paid 6 months ago to have help, and it annoys me to pay again for the same reoccurring issue.
    Have tried the same solution given before but it isn't doing the trick now. Any idea how to get them on e again communicating with one another?

    The process of syncing Outlook calendar with Google Calendar is pretty much straightforward, in fact Google distributes a very small application that does just that. You only have to configure how you want to sync (one-way or both-ways) and how often. Then you simply "push" it from your iPhone, the system works in "listen mode" meaning that every change you make to the original calendar is automatically and instantly available on the other system.
    I know it's not "the" solution, but for the time being it's the only work around.
    Take care.

  • ICal stopped syncing with iPhone

    My iPhone has been blissfully syncing, as expected, until the last few days, when it no longer syncs with my iCal. New calendar items don't sync to the phone, and new items on my iPhone won't sync to iCal.
    I have been running a third party application Busysync to sync with my Google calendar, and this has also stopped syncing from Google calendar to my main computer, but not from iCal to my Google calendar. I have been trying to get help with this from their forums, where a suggestion came up that recurring calendar items might be triggering problems within Google calendar and therefore Busysync, but even when I stop Busysync running, my iCal and iPhone still won't sync with each other.
    I've attempted resetting my Sync history in iSync, but it makes no difference. This was a problem prior to updating to iTunes 9, and I was wondering if anyone else had been having problems with the last update of iTunes 8. Or is there another simple way of resetting things, as resetting the Sync history seems to do nothing...
    Any suggestions?

    I am having the same problem. My iPhone calendar was syncing to my iCloud and my Macbook Pro but then it stopped. Now I've added an iMac and can't get my phone to sync to either computer. It's not only annyoing but very bothersome when you add an appointment to your iPhone and it doesn't update to your iCalendar at home.

  • Palm Pre no longer syncing with Google Calendar

    I've had my Pre for 4-5 weeks, and when I first got it, I configured the calendar to sync with my Google calendar.  Everything worked fine.  At some point, it stopped syncing.  If I add something to the calendar through Google, I don't see it on my Pre and if I add an event on the Pre, it never shows up on Google.  Obviously I tried the sync now option to no avail.  I'm not sure if this happened around the V1.1.0 update or not.  Is anyone else having issues syncing with Google Calendar?
    Thx,
    Brett

    Hello Bartman,
    You may want to try removing and re-adding the gmail account to the Pre.  If this doesn't work, try creating a test gmail account and add it to the Pre.  This will tell you if it is your email account or the Palm Pre.
    Let us know what happens....

  • ICal stopped syncing my "work" calendar...

    Hi Folks, I only have two calendars, work and home. For some reason when I sync my iPhone it will no longer add my "work" calendar stuff to the phone. Under Info in iTunes I DO have it checked but it just won't do it. Any thoughts? Thanks much for reading.

    jburnard,
    OK, I will give it a try.
    What sync method are you using?
    Why are you not using Mac OS X 10.4.11?
    What version of iTunes are you using?
    Can you correlate when "iCal stopped syncing my "work" calendar..." with any system or application changes?
    It may also be helpful to follow this procedure: (If you are not using MobileMe)
    1. As a first step, I suggest resetting the sync history on your Mac. This is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
    2. After selecting reset sync history with iSync preferences, restart your Mac and try again. Disconnect your iPhone and quit iTunes.
    3. At the iCal menu bar, go to File and select Back up iCal.
    4. Save the backup on your Desktop.
    5. Delete all calendars from iCal so that is it empty. (You must leave at least one empty calendar)
    6. At the iCal menu bar, go to File and select Restore iCal - selecting the backup file placed on your Desktop.
    7. Launch iTunes and connect your iPhone.
    8. Check if this resolves the problem.

  • I'm having problems with syncing my iphone 4s calendar with google calendar.  google calendar will sync with phone but phone calendar won't sync with google calendar.

    I can't get my iphone 4s calendar to sync with google calendar.  I can sync the other way i.e from google to iphone.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    If you don't do this per the instructions included with the link, all iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync. If you haven't transferred photos from your old computer to your new, any photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your previous computer will be erased when selecting to transfer any photos from your new computer.
    Not sure how cancelling a sync with iTunes and importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll with iPhoto could have an effect on your GPS reception and location services.

  • How do I change a recurring event on iPhone 5 which syncs with Google Calendar.  As soon as I change it on phone it reverts back to original.  Works on pc perfectly.

    Help.  How do I change a recurring event on iPhone 5 which syncs with Google Calendar.  Just reverts back to original.  Work perfectly on pc.

    Do you happen to have Dial Assist on? This is in Settings>Phone. This is what helps the phone identify international numbers when dialing, based on location. See if turning that off/on makes a difference. Unless you are making a number of international calls, I believe this can be left off. See the User Guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf  Page 49 has info regarding Dial Assist.

  • Syncing with Google calendars

    I recently setup my iPod Touch to sync with Google calendars. What I am trying to do is get the calendars on my iPod Touch calendar. It is currently not syncing with my iPod. When I create an event on the iPod calendar, it does sync with the Google calendar and vice versa. But what I have done is downloaded the Detroit Red Wings schedule to my computer and it synced with the Google calendar, but not with my iPod calendar. Can anyone assist me with this? When syncing my iPod Touch with my computer, it says that the calendars are synced over the air using MS Exchange.

    I also have the same issue. I have added a lot of calendars to my Google Calendar, however, none of them ever gets transferred to my Ipod touch. Only the events that I create. Not sure if getting other calendar information is even possilbe.

  • Syncing with Google Calendar

    Hi - I can use some help with Google Calendar syncing with my iPod Touch.
    I set up my iPod to sync with Google for Contacts and Calendar. The Contacts sync works perfectly. But when I sync with Google Calendar, the iPod only receives the last six months of events. I have years worth of past events that I want to put on the iPod. I checked the iPod's Mail, Contacts, Calendars screen and I do have the Calendar sync set for All Events, not just the past six months. But it's either ignoring that setting, or there's some bug or limitation with Google or the iPod sync.
    Also, if I manually enter a new event within the past six months on either the iPod or in Google Calendar, it does synchronize. But if I manually enter an event prior to six months ago on one or the other, it will not sync.
    Has anyone else run into this issue? Any ways to resolve it?
    Thank you.

  • 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....

  • When syncing with Google Calendar invitees added to iCal events wont work

    I'm using Spanning Sync to sync my iCal with Google Calendar (which
    then syncs with the iPhone app Pocket Informant).
    It may be a coincidence, but when I started using Spanning Sync, I
    found that when I create a new iCal event and include someone in the
    "invitees" field, that person then gets an error message when they attempt
    to add the event to their iCal by clicking on the .ics attachment in the notification email ("iCal cant read this calendar file. No
    events were added to your iCal Calendar").
    When I add one of my own email addresses to the invitees field, the ics attachment works okay for me.
    Is this related to the Google Calendar syncing or some other problem?
