IOS 8 Google Setup Using Caldav and Carddav

Does the built-in Google account under Mail, Contacts, and Calendar use cardav and caldav when I setup my google account? Currently I’m using Google for email only and then I have separate carddav and caldav accounts for my Contacts and Calendar to be sure I’m using the proper setup. I’m looking to simplify my setup on my IOS devices.

I recall a couple years ago when I set it up there were limitations, I forget what they were now, to using active sync and people recommended using cardav and caldav. I have a Google Apps for Domains account that I’m using. At this point I see no reason to investigate further.
Thanks again!

How do I setup CalDav and CardDav servers on my Mac to enable local 'cloud' syncing in Mavericks

I've decided to start off a new thread having initially posted on How to locally sync an iPhone with OS X Mavericks? iCloud is NOT an option.
It is clear to me that it is possible to establish syncing locally without going outside one's own home, and without internet access. I am bugged by the fact that the previous service has gone without any user focussed warning, but I am keen to find a way of solving the problem. If you are just frustrated, I'd be grateful if you can keep your annoyance off this thread.
My guess is that a CalDav and CardDav server hosted on my own Mac can be set upt to sync with my iPhone (3GS) either on a Computer-to-Computer (ad hoc) network or via my own home LAN. The trouble is I am not network/Apache savvy enough to use it.
I am reluctant to fork out an additional amount for the Mavericks server as I don't have any other foreseeable need for it, but Mavericks comes with Apache pre-loaded and there is a very light, simple and free open source CalDav and CardDav server in Baïkal. The trouble is I am not apache/network savvy enough to make use of it, and basically I am stumbling along in the near dark with terminal.
There are some good resources for setting up Apache and for setting up Virtual Hosts which would host my personal 'cloud', and Baïkal also comes with setup guides as well. The trouble is, I don't quite have enough knowledge to marry the two together. Is there anyone contributing to or watching this thread who has the know-how to do a proper step by step guide for running Baïkal on Apache as installed in the Mavericks OS, and setting up a local 'cloud'.
AFAICT the problem with the resources I have found is that the Apache stuff I've found doesn't particularly focus on running Baïkal, and the Baïkal documentation is not specific to Apache on Mavericks. Is there anyone out there who can give me some help with this?
Can anyone help - please?

I've now downloaded ownCloud 4.5.13 and followed the installation instructions in the Administrators Manual. I am slightly concerned to read under MacOS: "This section of the manual needs to be revised."
However, I have followed the instructions there, and step 5 has taken me to the web setup page where I have created an account with user name and password.
Then I went to Calendar, and from the Calendar menu chose Add Account… In the dialog that followed I chose Add CalDAV Account. I chose Account Type Manual and put in the username and password I used when setting up the ownCloud account. For the URL I followed the manual and put: http://ADDRESS/remote.php/caldav/principals/username/ substituing 'localhost:8888/ownCloud' for the address, and my ownCloud username for the username. (If I just used 'localhost:8888' for the address it produced the message: "The URL http://localhost:8888/remote.php/caldav/principals/[myusername]/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct.".)
So far I am semi-sucessful. It has created a Http://Localhost:8888/Owncloud account on Calendar in which I have been able to creat a test calendar and an event. I have also deleted the event, but Calendar will not let me delete the calendar. Once I inserted a second calendar the Delete command became available, but failed with this notice: "http://localhost:8888/ownCloud/remote.php/caldav/principals/[myusername]/ is not a location that supports this request." A retry deleted the name of the calendar, but left it otherwise intact. The account now has a grey triangle next to it which when clicked produces the following: "The request (CalDAVCalendarSplitDualTypeCalendarQueueableOperation) for account “Http://Localhost:8888/Owncloud/Remote” failed."
I think this may be resolved by an ownCloud setting. I will see if I can track this down. Has anyone here got any thoughts?

Who got caldav and carddav push running successful on lion server?

Hello everybody,
I am running OS X Server since 10.5 server which I upgraded to 10.6 server in the past without problems, upgrading 10.6 to 10.7 was is a mess and none of my serveral upgrades attempts were leading into a "stable" lion server so I ended up with manual upgrading my data into a clean install of lion server.
After data migration most of my services are working as usual (some profilemanager quirks but that don't bother me for now).
Only when it comes to push for calendar and addressbook services I am getting frustrated!
Push mail is running fine for my iDevices (Push is listed on my iPhone and iPad and Mac) but for caldav and carddav my caldavd error.logs are throwing error messages like this if I access iCal or addressbook via Mac or iDevice (no Push available on iPhone or iPad neither on my Mac).
Those for caldav

I tried several thing (changing serveradmin settings, plist and other configuration files, checking passwords, renew apple push certificates etc.) but that changed nothing, so if one got those push services running correctly I would appreciate if one could share his configuration so I can compare it with mine.
I think those files and output are interesting for the configuration, if some other files are important please note them.
If one feel afraid to post his configuration for security reasons etc. please ask for my email address

This error... <error code='403' type='auth'><forbidden xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/></error> ...looks like the XMPP notification server is not allowing the calendar server's XMPP account (or "JID") to create/configure pubsub nodes. The XMPP notification server keeps a list of privileged JIDs in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.NotificationServer.plist.
First, check to see that calendar server is configured to use the "com.apple.notificationuser@<your hostname>" account by running this command in terminal:
sudo serveradmin settings calendar:Notifications:Services:XMPPNotifier:JID
You should see something like:
calendar:Notifications:Services:XMPPNotifier:JID = "[email protected]"
Next, see who is in the notification server's "privileged users" list via:
serveradmin settings notification:privilegedUsers
You should see something like:
notification:privilegedUsers:_array_index:0 = "_notification_user"
notification:privilegedUsers:_array_index:1 = "com.apple.notificationuser"
If you don't see "com.apple.notificationuser", you'll need to edit /Library/Preferences/com.apple.NotificationServer.plist and add it to the "privilegedUsers" array like:
<key>privilegedUsers</key>
          <array>
     <string>_notification_user</string>
     <string>com.apple.notificationuser</string>
          </array>
Then I would recommend rebooting the server so that you are sure the notification server is restarted and re-reads the plist.

CalDAV and CardDAV issues

Hi,
I just got my new Z10 ... it looks and works great.
However, when I try to get the CalDAV configured against a Zimbra or OwnCloud backend it keeps asking for an e-mail address to use as the login.
These two services use the username. Why can't the client be configured to use the specific username instead of being forced to use the e-mail address as the username.
I know there are issues with the Google Calendars but these other ones are not working at all either.
Is there something I can do to workaround this issue since I am not the administrator of the CalDAV services I am connecting to I can't change my username to be the same as the e-mail address?
Thanks!

I spend some nights with my new Z10 and ownCloud (4.5.7 and 5.0.0).
I checked out what's going on (wireshark is very, very useful) :
Here's a short summary:
email adress is not necessary (to connect to ownCloud), username and password are used
Server name ist really just the server (a port number may be added); no protocol, no path/filename
https is alwas used, thus default port is 443
ownCloud sends http redirects to phone's requests, but BB doesn't seem to handle them properly.
The last item mentions the problem(s)
For some reason ownCloud only responds to
<servername>/<path>/remote.php/<application, eg. carddav>
BB requests two paths: "/" and ".well-known" -> ownCloud sends redirects (per default HTTP 302 "Found", other 30x codes don't work either)
BB ignores the redirect respones; instead it just retries
I modified ownCloud's internal checks in order to make it respone to ".well-known" requests.
It wasn't actuall stable, but at least I was able to load my old phone's contacts...
CalDAV appeared to work to, but then the Z10 killed the calendar application whenever I attempted to enter a date.

IOS7 iphone 4S hides CalDav and CardDav outside LAN

Dear Apple Community,
I couldn't find a solution with Google & Co. So here is my Problem:
Since I updated our business iphone 4S (luckily only two at the moment) to iOS7, the CardDav contacts and CalDav calendars disappear on the phone once it is approximately one or two days outside the office Wifi LAN and without contact to the CardDav/CalDav OSX (10.8.5) Server.
The CardDav and CalDav accounts are still visible in the settings menu on the iphone, but disappear in the corespondent App (Calendar/Addressbook).
Once I re-enter the Wifi LAN the calendars and contacts re-appear.
I did never experience this behavior with iOS 6 nor 5.
At the moment our server is not set to be reachable from WAN for security reasons.
We recently performed an update to 10.8 on our server, however the
'disappearing' happened also under 10.6. So I strongly believe it is an iOS7 issue.
Is this behavior a feature or a fault?
If it is a feature, please tell me, where I can disable it, or which settings are wrong.
Thank you very much,
Stefan

Hi wjosten,
thanks for the quick reply. I have seen that thread, but it does not quite catch my problem.
The Sync with the iPhones and the Server work perfect.
But the iPhone somehow decides after a while, when it can't reach the server anymore, to hide the contacts from the carddav and also the calendars from the caldav accounts.
e.g. When you go into the Adressbook - Groups -> you usually see the CardDav Groups ... but they magically disappear after a few days without being in the office LAN. Of course also the corespondent Adressbook entries disappear. The same applies to the Calendar Accounts.
However, they are still visible in the main configuration.
I hope, my problem is clearer now.
Stefan

How to transfer my iPad 4 iOS 7 music files using iTunes and GoodReader (latest version) app to my Macbook Pro (Mid 2010)

The GoodReader user manual procedure allows me to transfer files from macbook to iPad but not the other way. I can see my iPad music files via iTunes on the MBP screen. However, I cannot select the music files for transfer to GoodReader, My Documents folder. Once they are in the Goodreader folder, then it is easy to transfer them to MBP.
Would appreciate any help. Thanks.
RMY

Thanks for your response, Demo.
I'm using the latest version of iTunes, also my MBPS is 10.6.8. My music files on my ipad are MPEG type and they should be compatible with iTunes and GoodReader. These files were already in my iPad before I installed GoodReader.
I want to move the files from my ipad to my MBPS. I previously thought that I am supposed to move these files myself to GoodReader documents folder by following some steps. But after reading the instructions for file transfer, I realized that the GR documents folder should show ALL the files on my iPad. While it shows a couple of documents that I downloaded after the GR was installed, it does NOT show the music files that were on iPad before. This is the problem.
I'm wondering if there is another way of getting these files to theMBP. These files should have a physical location on the iPad. Is it possible to access that location and move them from there? I tried to drag and drop these files from iTunes to a thumb drive in Finder but it did not work.

Major CalDav and Syncing Issues with Ical and Address Book

As a CEO and business owner - I loved the move over to Mac after the intel chip as installed. Yet, the issue of working on a Mac for business comes down to the operating system. Up to Snow Leopard I was very pleased.... since Lion it has gone downhill.   I upgraded to Mountain Lion and many of the issues with speed and problems with mail were addressed. Yet, it appears Apple has made a bad decision with regard to synciing to other programs.
I was told it has cut out syncing capablities for Address book and Ical (I assume other programs). This has caused great issues for The Omni Group, File Maker and Market Cirlce (creators of Daylite) and a lot of angst for me as a business owner!
To top this off - it appears CalDav is not bi-directional and has issues. In other words, it does not work as it should.
I am not sure what Apple was thining when it stopped allowing internal sync between programs. Yet, CalDav and CardDav are not always the answers!
I hope the CalDav issues are being cleaned up and if anyone from Apple wishes to comment on this I would appreciate it. I have tried to talk to support but the powers to be are the ones calling the shots on software design. Support can't fix what is broken the program.
Again, I hope Apple revisits syncing. Maybe the concern is security but it is MY DATA not yours. I just want the programs to work so I can make sales and support my customers efficiently.   You have made it hard to do this with changes.
David

As an IT consultant, i'm in agreement with Mr Utts.    The promise of "it just works" died with Steve Jobs.   Mac OS has been in freefall since 10.5 .    I need a fully functional OS, not an iPad on my desk. ( this means YOU Forstall !! )
Why break Samba ( a standard ), why break WebDAV ( a standard ), why break CalDAV ( a standard )??    Apple has done ALL of these things and they seem to be doing it on purpose.
The Apple "ecosystem" is just fine, but removing functionality as fast as you can, and removing interoperablity as fast as you can... if Apple products ONLY work within the ecosystem... people can and will leave Apple.    You've already run off the business users by refusing to make a real Server or real Server software.   You ran off the video user with Final Cut Pro X.   Dumbing down (and breaking) the OS is running off the IT User.
Mac OS used to easily walk the line of "hard core enough for a Unix Guru, easy enough for your Mom". Now they just want the Moms.
And i disagree, we are ALL "qualified to say what Apple might do about this...", they will do nothing.   They don't beleive they have made a mistake. They beleive WE are the problem by stubbornly insisting that things that used to work should continue to work.

IOS Calendar - Google CalDAV Alerts Disappear

So I'll make this brief and succint. I have daily alerts set up in my sync'd Google calendar using the native iOS Calendar.
What happens is that I hear the noise on my device (Alert for Calendar event), but when you look at your phone or iPad, the event is gone. As some of these are daily reminders, I know what they are, so I know what I missed. I then started watching my phone during the time change. Sure enough, at the date/time of an event, I would briefly see the alert and it would disappear instantly. This is really frustrating, as at times I have other events that are not daily and those disappear too. I have to go open up the Calendar app to find out what it is. It used to be that the alert would stay up on my screen until I could dismiss/OK it.. so I didn't miss it.
I have a single Google account that I used to add 'CalDav' sync to my iPhone and iPad.
My Google account has 3 calendars (Personal, Family, Good Habits).
These 3 calendars show up, and sync properly with the Calendar app. I see them in there no problem, and it updates.
I have it set up on my iPhone (4s/iOS 6.1) and iPad 3 (iOS 6.1) the same way.
Does anybody else have problems with their Calendar Alerts disappearing from the screen?
For now, the only way I've found to resolve it is to use Google.com/calendar to set up important events to also send me an SMS. This way I at least get a solid notification I can't miss.
I would really love to have the pop-up alerts work properly though. Combing the internet has not yielded help. Using other calendar apps does not help.
Should I be using Exchange to sync my Google Calendars instead of CalDAV? As Exchange support is being dropped by Google, this is not an option.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this, and for any help you can lend.

I recall a couple years ago when I set it up there were limitations, I forget what they were now, to using active sync and people recommended using cardav and caldav. I have a Google Apps for Domains account that I’m using. At this point I see no reason to investigate further.
Thanks again!

Google for iphone: use CalDAV (IMAP) or Exchange?

When setting up gmail and google calendar accounts on the iphone, you have a few choices in how to set it up. The simplest ones, as I understand, are either as an Exchange account or, by selecting GMail, as a CalDAV (IMAP) account. I don't use gmail a whole lot but I do use shared Google calendars A LOT. So far, I have them set up, but not as Exchange. What am I missing? Just push? The calendars don't change that much and they seem to refresh whenever I open the Calendar app on the iphone. Would the Exchange use more energy?

Exchange is only for use with Microsoft Exchange servers. To my knowledge Google calendars are exclusively CalDAV and should be setup as such. Thats always worked for me.
Cheers.

I did not install icloud when setup my ipad and now I cannot install icloud on ipad 3 with ios 8.1.

I did not install icloud when setup my ipad and now I cannot install icloud on ipad 3 with ios 8.1. Everything in Settings is complete and correct. I can log in from my PC with no trouble. If I go to icloud.com on Safari on the ipad, it takes me to a instruction page which only says to complete icloud in Settings.

That's happening because icloud.com is not designed to be viewed from the mobile version of Safari on your iPad, only from your computer browser.* You can still access it on your iPad if you're running iOS 8 by going to icloud.com, then tapping on the address bar where the url is displayed, tap the center of the screen and drag down, then tap "Request Desktop Site" under the address bar at the top. This will load the full desktop version of icloud.com. You'll find, however, that not all of the the features will respond to the touch screen.
* That's because all of your iCloud data is already on your iPad and can be accessed from within the apps that you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.) If you need to use Find My iPhone (iPad), you can download the free Find My iPhone app to do so.

Want to use pushViewController and segues from UINavigationController in AIR app on iOS

Ok, this might be a long shot, but here goes.
My iOS AIR app includes a bunch of native screens defined in a storyboard. I have them included by putting them into a native (static) framework, including that framework in an ANE, and adding code to instantiate and add the various ViewControllers to the screen.
I can add a ViewController as a child and get its view to show on the screen with the following obj-c code in my ANE:
[[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] rootViewController] addChildViewController:controller];
[[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] rootViewController].view addSubview:controller.view];
[controller didMoveToParentViewController:[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] rootViewController]];
However, some of the views have child views that use segues and the push stack from UINavigationController. When these screens try to load, I get the following error:
Apr 21 13:50:43 raspberry LKW_Smash[7703] <Error>: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSGenericException', reason: 'Could not find a navigation controller for segue 'MemberOptionsSegue'. Push segues can only be used when the source controller is managed by an instance of UINavigationController.'
So I attempted to get access to the app's UIViewController, and push the new ViewController onto the stack with the following code:
[root.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
But root.navigationController is nil! It looks like the app doesn't have one!
So after all that, my question is this: How do I create an AIR app that includes a UINavigationController and is not simply just a single-view app?

Sync the contacts on your Mac with Google Contacts as well... There is no need to involve iCloud.
Perhaps you should take a look at Google's help pages.
