ICloud not accepting Google Calendar Invites

I am having problems accepting invites received from Google calendar in iCal on my iMac. Every time I recieve an invitation in Mail and try to add it to iCal, I receive the error below. The invite will be added to my calendar but will not sync back to iCloud and is eventually deleted from iCal on my iMac. The only way that I can get these invites to work is to accept them on either my iPad or my iPhone. Invitations that I create on my iMac sync to iCloud with no problems. How do I get this to work properly?

Same problem here. iCal seems to completely ignore my default calendar setting. I have yet to discern a pattern as to when it decides to use my default and when it decides to use my google calendar as the default. I think that when I receive an invitation on my google email id, it decides to use the corresponding calendar.
I've turned off all of my auto-accept settings in both mac mail/ical and in google calendar. So I now accept all of my invitations manually. Every time I accept I have to go and open it to see what calendar it ended up on and change if necessary. But then I get the error you reported. And I then often end up with 2 entries. One on my iCloud calendar and another on my google calendar which I can't delete.
Drives me crazy. Next step, I think I'll try accepting all my invitations on my iPhone.

Once I accept a calendar invite on my iPhone, I cannot delete or otherwise modify it. Even when it is updated or deleted by the invitor, it does not change on my iPhone. Is there a fix for this?

Once I accept a calendar invite on my iPhone, I cannot delete or otherwise modify it. Even when it is updated or deleted by the invitor, it does not change on my iPhone.

My husband and I both have iphone 4's and we both have this same problem. I have an open ticket with apple, but so far they haven't been able to figure this out. First, they told me the problem was the mail server I was using. So, I tried sending/receiving invites from gmail and yahoo which they told me should work. Neither did. It doesn't matter whether the original invite was created in iCal or in Outlook or Google, once I open the invite in my mail and hit "add to calendar" the event is locked into my calendar. If the originator sends an update or cancels the meeting, I will receive an email with the new info, but the event doesn't change in my iphone calendar. This is completely lame. Why bother putting a calendar app on the phone if it can't handle basic functions?
Did you ever get a response from anyone or figure out a workaround? I'll post if I hear back from Apple with a fix.

Can I get iCal to respond to Google Calendar invitations?

Ever since MobileMe forced everyone to switch to the new CalDAV calendars, iCal.app stopped responding to iCalendar (ICS) invitations that I receive via email from Google Calendar users. Here's what's happening:
I receive a Google Calendar email, open it in Mail.app, and double-click on the ICS email file attachment.
Mail passes the ICS to iCal.app, which automatically creates a new calendar entry. However, the only choice I have for the new even under the "NOTIFICATIONS" side pane in iCal is an "OK" button. (Prior to the MobileMe Calendar update, I could accept or decline a meeting from the Notifications pane.)
I can open the meeting in iCal to reveal "Maybe", "Decline", and "Accept" buttons, but—for example—choosing the Accept button doesn't send an iCalendar email response back to the meeting organizer. The fact that I just accepted the event is also not reflected in iCal. Furthermore, iCal doesn't let me edit or add a new alarm to the event.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions for how to restore the old behavior!
P.S. Here are links to two other calendaring issues that cropped up since the MobileMe change:

Can I get Google to recognize my iCal invitations?

I have the same problem and it is not limited to Google Calendar invitations. Very frustrating! I can't find a solution anywhere other than replying to the invite message manually ... very poor workaround.

I can not open Google Calendar. What do I need to do?

I can not open Google Calendar from any of my computers using Firefox. I can open it with IE. What's the problem and how do I fix it?
Thanks

What downloads, please be more descriptive remember we can't see what you can.

My iPhone won't sync calendar to iCloud, only to Google calendar, which I've never used. Events from iCloud sync to the phone and to Google. Huh???

My iPhone 3GS (ios 5.1) won't sync calendar to iCloud, only to Google calendar, which I never authorize or use. Yet when I entere an event on the iCloud calendar, it syncs to the iPhone (and to Google calendar) just fine. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple community.
iCloud cannot sync with Google calendars, so it would seem that you may be using the wrong calendar account. Click on the calendar button in the top right hand corner of the calendar app and check which calendar you are adding your events too.

Iphone 5.1 not syncing google calendar updates

Google Sync sync's to my outlook & phone/ipad with no trouble however it does not sync calendar changes. Google calendar takes the changes but it's not making it over to my phone. I've uninstalled google sync to no avail. I don't use icloud calendar because it doesn't do reminders & calendar reminders correctly for me. Any ideas?

ICal won't accept Google Calendar password

can't sync with my Google calendars anymore.
I have deleted the calendar accounts on my Mac.
Set up the 2-stpe passwords on Google.
Tried to create new accounts in iCal with my email address (is not a gmail account) and app specific password:
- used Automatic Account setup: get a "Server With Secure Communication Unavailable" error message
- used Google account type: it finds my account - asks me again right away for the password. I enter it. It creates the account but gives me the error icon and wants my password over and over without syncing.
- used CaDAV account type: I enter User Name, app specific password and for server address: google.com
again, it finds my account and wants passwword right away.
I have also tried to use for a server address the calendar URL (https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/[email protected]/user) - no go.
I have quit iCal after various account setups and reopeen - always the same problem:
Alert icon next to the calendar account and when I click on it, it wants me to enter the password. I do and nothing happens - no syncing.
When I go to Delegates of the created account, I get an error message saying: Sever did not recognize your user name or passwword....
I only use the app specific password. I do have a different user name than my email address - but I have tried to use both at different times - no go.
Any ideas?
Mac mini, OSX 10.8.5, iCal 6.0

I haven't tried your fix yet, but I was having the same problem with iCal and now I have it with everything. Google wants to link with OS X for a number of apps - fine - I enter my password - still fine - then there's another window: will you accept x,y, z? I click 'accept' and I get 'Google authentication failed'. I have changed my password three time just to make sure I am using the correct password, but no.
I do wonder if the problem is gmail - the password window opens with my gmail address (which I never use) filled in. I change it to my real email address and the password is fine until it gets to the 'accept' thing. Just appeared in notifications again: Enter you pssword for [my username] in Internet Accounts. I just can't be bothered to try again.

Firefox will not load google calendar, IE will. Error states "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

Using Firefox 3.6.10 with Windows XP. Gmail loads fine but Google Calendar will not. Cookies are accepted without restriction.

After deleting all the cookies, It was possible to load google calendar.

IPhone does not accept mime calendar items

When sending Outlook for Mac calendar items (mime) to iPhone 5S they are not able to open and post to the phone

Unless you accept the invite on your computer and sync the event to the iPhone, you can't do anything with a .ics attachment to an email. Note that if you're using an MS Exchange/ActiveSync account on the iPhone, Outlook invites sent to that account can be accepted and will end up in the Calendar on the iPhone. But, that only works with calendar invitations to MS Exchange or MobileMe accounts, not with .ics attachments to emails.

ICloud keeping ghost google calendar around

After upgrading to OSX 10.10 I've been noticing a duplicate of my calendars. A "ghost" calendar from my old Calendar setup (a Google calendar import) shows up as a calendar member of my iCloud calendars (it's greyed out instead of the other calendars on my iCloud account.) It shows up on my desktop no matter how many times I un-sync and re-sync my iCloud. It does not show up in my iCloud via the website, so I can't delete it that way.
Any ideas?

Hi Ray Walker,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you would like to delete this specific calendar from Calendar on your Apple computer. Please follow the instructions in the attached article to complete this process.

Can Icloud sync with google calendar and gmail?

We use google calendar at my office and share it with our staff. I thought we would be able to sync those calendars with icloud and google. Before icloud, I set up an exchange account on Ipad, iphone, imac and it works well for calendar and email. I thought I could replace that sync with icloud, but it seems to not be designed that way. Should google calendar and gmail users stick with google?

THANK YOU ithos!
I have searched and searched to try and find a way to sync my Google calendars with iCloud.
You don't exactly say how to make this happen, but you gave me enough nuggets to put it together. Thank you for responding and helping me put it all together.
I have 5 Google calendars (Family, Work, Church, Extended Family Birthdays, US Holidays). My wife, two different assistants and I all share and update the calendars. I want all this to continue since it affects every aspect of my life. I sit at a PC at work and need to be able to view all those calendars during the work week, I also need to be able to view and edit from work (pc), iPhone, wife's iPhone, assistants computers, and our home (mac). So, staying Google - for now, is what I need.
I just upgraded to the 4S and Siri is one of the main reasons. Without iCloud syncing with my calendars Siri is USELESS with calendaring stuff. So, I have to have Siri able to view my calendars as well.
So, with that info, here's how I got it all to work.
For those of you who need a start to finish explanation, here it is:
1. Computer running the OS Lion (mine's an iMac)
2. Open iCal on the Mac
3. Open your Google Calendar
4. In iCal go to iCal --> Preferences --> Accounts.
Make sure iCloud is listed under Accounts. This was my default, so I didn't have to make any changes. If yours lists something different, sorry. I don't know how to change it. But I believe this is a KEY component as ithos above mentions that the subscription be 'located' on iCloud.
5. In iCal go to Calendar --> Subscribe
This will force a pop up asking you for the URL of the calendar you are trying to subscribe to.
Where do you find this URL? I found this article from 2006 that gives the low down:
http://www.tuaw.com/2006/04/13/howto-subscribe-to-a-google-calendar-using-ical/
Don't worry, even though it's from 2006 it still works. Here are the steps in a nutshell, but you should read the short article so you don't miss anything.
6. In Google Calendar you need to dig into EACH calendar that you want to 'Subscribe to' and find the unique URL for that calendar. This will allow you to then force iCal to look at and scrape the data from this calendar as often as every 5 minutes. As you follow the articles steps (they are very easy) then your iCal calendar will populate with the Google calendar data from the calendar you subscribed to. I had to do this for EACH calendar I wanted to show up on my iCal calendar.
7. I then grabbed my iPhone and asked Siri, "What does my day look like tomorrow?" She responded with all my iCal / iCloud (which are all subscribed to my Google calendars) calendar data. I smiled
This ONLY allows the Google info to be pushed to iCal / iCloud. It doesn't allow the info to go the other way.
It won't let Siri manipulate the iCal/iCloud calendar or the Google calendar. But at least Siri can see what's already there. So, a step in the right direction.
Good luck!

Firfox will not open google calendars

New firefox user here. I can browse, yet, when I try to open my google calendars, firefox will not allow. The redirecting will start repeating itself and the green bar at bottom will start repeating itself. and it stays there until I choose a new website.

Try deleting Google cookies and clear the cache. This will usually fix this type of problem. For details see [[Deleting cookies]] and [[How to clear the cache]]

Icloud not accepting password

I cannot log into my icloud account and check my email. I have tried on the icloud.com server, my android phone and my mac. The message I receive says my password is incorrect. I have changed my password and logged into account settings with the new password without any trouble. I am really frusterated as I have some important emails I am expecting and need to read and respond.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Cassandra

Yeah I just had this problem this morning - iClould.com was not accepting my password - everything else was - iMac and iPhone and iPod Touch.
Then all of a sudden NOTHING was accepting my password and I had to messages saying that I had to either reset my password or unlock my iCloud account.... Why....? Dunno... it has been working fine since I migrated from MobileMe to iCloud ages ago....
Anyway, after serveral atempts to unlock my account (had to do it on every device) iclould.ciom was still not working - so I had to change my password on everything....
It all works now - except for the time stamp issue on emails on icloud.com here in the UK - time stamps are correct on all other devices - just not on the website.
Hopefully, it'll work now and I won't be asked to change my password every day - that used to happen a lot, but I thought they'd fixed that issue....
Try going through what I've tried and hopefully it'll work for you too....
Cheers,
