ICal w/ Google Issue

Hey everyone,
Ever since the roll out of iOS 5 we have been having a problem connecting to our Google calendars. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the new roll out but that is just a reference point to when the problem started occurring.
We currently have one central account for our company and then individual calendars for our employees. We are able to create the account within iCal, connect to the server, and then load and connect to all the delegates when first creating the account. Once all the calendars connect, and are synced, when we go and try to change an event or add a event we constantly get the message of "The calendar https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/...main.com/user/ was not found on the server. Make sure the URL is correct." I cant figure out why it will enable us to create the calendar and sync but as soon as an event it to be created or edited, we cannot connect to the server any more.
Also, everyone within the company is using an iPhone and have the same calendars being viewed and modified. I believe we are all using iOS 5.
This issue is making us lean towards hosting our own calendar on a Lion server.

Indeed. The strange thing is: Apple knows how to do it (else iOS Calender wouldn't work either). What is so hard for such a company to have iCal devs work with iOS Cal team and notify Google when it is fixed?
Or are the garages seperate (referring to start of tech companies )

  • ICal and Google Calendar: Why can't we all just get along

    OK. To start, I'll just lay out what I'd like from these two apps:
    I primarily use Google Calendar because I'm on different computers frequently and it's nice to have my calendar anywhere. I would have no reason to use iCal really, except that I want to sync my calendar info onto two iPods (touch and classic) to have that info with me on the go.
    Ideally I'd be able to input info onto either Google Cal or iCal and it would be reflected on the other one pretty seamlessly.
    Here's what I have now. Following directions from Google, I added my Google account to the "Accounts" page in iCal prefs using a link like this, "https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user".
    Under the delegation tab I checked the various Google calendars that I want synced over to iCal. They all show up on iCal, so this part is working well.
    Unfortunately things start to head south here. If I'm not connected to the Internet, the various Google calendars display symbols because they can't connect. Fine. But when I try to sync the calendars through iTunes, nothing transfers. No events, no nothing. (I can't sync while connected to the 'net currently b/c I'm in a foreign country using a USB modem that blocks the other USB port. Hopefully I'll find a USB hub soon.)
    Anyway, two basic problems.
    1. Is there a relatively simple way to have two-way sync between iCal and Google Cal
    2. The issue with events not syncing to iPods

    Then check the following:
    1.) are you using the Mac OSX install DVD that came with this mac? Cuz only that would ensure to have the right windows drivers inside the windows port of the boot camp setup exe
    2.) Did you try to download the missing drivers via ID? there are several sites offering the right drivers by device ID (See device driver properties). To name one "Driveragent.com" but there is even a better one, but as its late here i really cant remember the name...
    But I get back to you on this one as soon as I hit my office again... promised

  • How sync  iCal to Google agenda after error (302). Any other app to use while google fix it? (Lion 10.72)

    Hi, how are you syncing  iCal to Google agenda after error (302). Is there any other app to use while google fix it? (Lion 10.72)

    No, it´s not a Lion issue, it is a issue with ical. Google has stopped the hability to erase appointments from ical in order to correct a bug. Meanwhile I´m looking for alternatives to bypass this with another software. Do you have any idea?

  • 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 :

    What the calendar can do is up to Google. iWeb has no control over it.

  • Have thunderbolt and need to sync ical with google calendar in order to use.  Any suggestions?

    Have a thunderbolt and MacBook.  Need to sync ical with google calendar as thunderbolt supports google calendar.  Any suggestions?

    I think we may be talking about two different things. Thunderbolt is the new two way display port on Mac Book Pros and Apple displays.
    Thunderbolt (originally codenamed Light Peak) is an interface for connecting peripheral devices to a computer via an expansion bus. Thunderbolt was developed by Intel and brought to market with technical collaboration from Apple Inc. It was introduced commercially on Apple's updated MacBook Pro lineup on February 24, 2011.
    Thunderbolt combines PCI Express and DisplayPort into a serial data interface. A single Thunderbolt port supports hubs as well as a daisy chain of up to seven Thunderbolt devices; up to two of these devices may be high-resolution displays using DisplayPort. You can move data to and from peripherals up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than with FireWire 800.

  • How do i sync ical with google calendar, in that direction

    i have google cal and ical syncset up but it was set up by google telling what to enter into ical. this made my other calendars, all the google calendars i have other than the main one, into "delegates" on ical.
    whats the reason or process for this? cant they just been normal calendars on ical?
    the reason i ask is that i have a menu pull down app which seems to only read "normal" calendars and not delegated calendars...
    can i sync ical to google cal but enter details into ical to sync with google rather than the other way round?

    So if I make calendar entry in my iphone it syncs to my mac ical but not icloud.
    If everything is set to use iCloud then it's impossible for data to get from the iPhone to the mac but not iCloud, since all the data actually resides on iCloud and is read from there by devices. It rather sounds as if you have some syncing going on iTunes. If you look at the calendar listing on your Mac and Phone they must be listed under iCloud, not 'On My Mac/iPhone' - is that the case?

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Sync issues with iCal/MobileMe/Google

    Seems like I've come across something rather sticky....
    History
    I have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 3G. For the first few months of having the phone, syncing worked like a charm... no complaints. I then decided that I needed to get my Appointments etc up online for my colleagues to view as I travel out of the office so went into my Google account and activated the calendar feature, adding GoogleMail as a new calendar in iCal. No problems so far.
    Things seemed to work fine for a little while. A few weeks later (or long enough that I didn't see any correlation), my iPhone sync reverted back to an earlier state of my iCal calendars, including deleting a couple of new calendars I'd added in the meantime. Nothing was affected on my laptop btw. Google had gone completely berko as well. So basically no new additions in iCal were turning up on my phone.
    I then thought, hey I'll try out MobileMe and see if that solves things. Answer = nope. After setting up the account on the iPhone, this old "ghost" calendar decided that it would also sync to MobileMe as well as the iPhone. When I added new things online or on the iPhone, they would both update each other, but never iCal on the laptop.
    So I'm sitting here today pretty much over it, trawling the net for answers. I come across a post that says to simply delete the following folder: user/library/calendar - btw i did backup before i did this!
    I do this, empty trash, then reopen iCal. Blank Canvas!
    And then, after about 20 secs, the old "ghost" calendars pop up out of nowhere, with everything intact from about 2 months ago. I turn off airport, disconnect ethernet and repeat the process. Same thing happens... so somewhere on my laptop is a buried file that is finding it's way into iCal, and also overwriting all sync data just for iCal. Address Book and Mail seem to be doing just fine with MobileMe.
    The reason I guess why I think it's Google interfering (wouldn't be the first time) is that it's the odd one out when the "ghost" returns... I would've thought that deleting the Calendars folder would wipe everything out, but I'm sure when I went through the original GoogleMail thingy, it would've buried something somewhere at the time.
    So any help would be greatly appreciated. It really is driving me absolutely batty!!
    Cheers

    And it looks like I've just answered my own question!!
    Just found this post online, followed all the steps, rebooted, sign out then signed back in to MobileMe, re-registered the laptop and Bob's-your-uncle.
    So if anyone needs help, just follow these easy steps....
    The report shows that you have some data corruption. You should be able to resolve this by resetting Sync Services:
    * Open iSync (in /Applications)
    * Go to preferences
    * Click Reset Sync History
    * Try syncing again
    If that fails to resolve the issue, try replacing the database:
    * If you haven't done so lately, make a backup of your iCal calendars (iCal File menu > Back up iCal)
    * Quit out of all open programs
    * Make sure that nothing is syncing (Spanning Sync, .Mac, iSync)
    * Move these two folders to the trash:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices (~ refers to your home directory)
    ~Library/Application Support/iSync/SyncLocalCopy (~ refers to your home directory)
    * Restart
    * Open iCal and give it a few minutes to write out the new database
    Please let us know if that doesn't address the problem or you have other questions.
    That didn't work in my case, so I ran another report (contained within the Spanning Sync Application) and sent it to them a second time. What they suggested next fixed the problem for me.
    I'm still seeing the same errors in the new report. Lets try clearing your calendar cache:
    * Quit out of iCal if it's open
    * Delete this file:
    ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
    (~ refers to your home directory.)
    * Delete the contents of this folder:
    ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Sync Changes/
    (~ refers to your home directory.)
    * Open iCal
    * Wait at least five minutes until after it finishes "Upgrading Calendars"
    * Sync!

  • ICal vs Google Calender issue fixed in Lion 10.7.3??

    As we all know, Google has disabled DELETE requests from iCal until Apple fixes the 'Setting up iCloud deletes entire Google Calender Agenda' thing.
    However, with the release of Lion 10.7.3 today to developers I would like to ask people to check if this has already changed.

    Indeed. The strange thing is: Apple knows how to do it (else iOS Calender wouldn't work either). What is so hard for such a company to have iCal devs work with iOS Cal team and notify Google when it is fixed?
