IPhone and Google Calendar issue

I'm going mental trying to figure something out here and I hope that someone can help me.
My wife and I both have an iphone, and, gmail accounts and wanted to have a calendar used by both of us so we can update different reminders and events and have them sync over the air. easy enough. Right ?
I created my calender under gmail. Set it up on my iphone, and, all is working fine. If I create an event on the gmail calendar, it gets pushed to my phone, and, it happens the other way around also. perfect. that part is good.
Now, I get my wife's phone and set hers up to "subscribe" to my calendar. All seems to work fine, but, for some reason, she isn't getting pop-up alerts on her phone when an event happens.
If I update something on my calendar, and, she opens up my calendar on her iphone, she can see that there is a new event, but, it doesn't pop-up a reminder on her phone when it's time. It kinda defeats the purpose of this utility.
I made sure on her gmail page that she has pop-up reminders on. am I missing something?
I've been subscribing and unsubscribing to my calender (with her phone for hours now) trying to figure out what Im doing wrong, and Im about to go mad.
Any ideas?

I got it figured out. Thanks for your quick and detailed help "Randy Fast"

  • How can I sync "On My Mac" iCal calendars on Snow Leopard with iPhone and Google Calendar?

    Hi,
    (I've done a lot of searching for a clear answer but without success.)
    Can someone please advise how I can get the "On My Mac" calendars on iCal v4.0.4 (running under Snow Leopard 10.6.8) to sync with an iPhone and Google Calendars,  'over the air' (i.e. not via iTunes) and both ways (two-way syncing).
    There was a great bit of software called Spanning Sync which did it all but it's now discontinued. I'm running Snow Leopard and do NOT want to upgrade to OS Lion.
    I've tried the iCloud route but it just creates an extra set of "@me.com" calendars under the "On My Mac" calendars - it is not syncing the "On My Mac" calendars themselves (and I want to use the "On My MAc" calendars as the master dataset (the 'Truth database' to use an Apple term!).
    ... And the same happens when I try to sync my Google Calendars: another set of "@google.com" calendars appear.
    Now instead of 2 calendars in iCal I have 6: 2 On My Mac calendars, 2 iCloud ones, and 2 Google ones. (This is not progress Apple!)
    Hope someone can advise.
    Many thanks.

    Thanks Winston.  I'm aware that the 'on my mac' calendar doesn't get picked up by iCloud.  I'm wondering whether anyone can help with the best alternative solution for synchronisation of phone and Outlook.

  • Sync iphone and icloud calendar issues

    I have the iphone 4s. I have switched to using the icloud calendar because my phone would not sync with my pc. Data entered into the icloud calendar syncs to my iphone, but data entered into my iphone calendar does not sync to my icloud calendar. Can anyone help

    Hi KStover05,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing an issue when trying to sync your iPhone. The article linked below describes why those alert messages appear and how to resolve issues related to them.

  • Iphone and gmail calendar issues

    My gmail account is no longer connect to my iphone 5. My previous employer uses corporate gmail. I am with a new employer and when I create an event, it sends it to my old employer. I have tried several things. There contact information is not stored in my phone. Any Suggestions?

    Hello servergirl,
    You may need to remove the old account from the list of calendar servers in Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

  • Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

    Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
    are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
    I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
    Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

    I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
    both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
    Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
    I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
    update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
    And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
    I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
    Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !

  • Push and birthday calendar issues

    I'm having trouble with push. As a somewhat separate issue, I'm also having trouble with birthdays from iCal to the iPhone, push or not.
    I had no problem with birthdays transferring to my old iPhone.
    Should I set up MobileMe as .mac or .me, since I have .mac?
    All the settings in mail, contacts, and calendars on the iPhone are set to ON to push, and in iCal I have the birthday option on. The MobileMe Calendar does list the birthdays.
    I can't get mail pushed to the iPhone, but my calendar events, except for birthdays, do seem to come across.
    I saw a post last night on a different problem that suggested that Version 2.0 (5A345) had known issues, and to do a restore and get 5A347. I did that this morning and haven't noticed a difference.
    I hope I'm making sense, I'm a little punchy after trying to figure this out.
    I'm resending this post, as it was posted as a reply to another post this morning. No one responded, and that post is basically off the radar now. I apologize in advance.

    Im having the same problem with iphone and birthday calendar. It shows on mobileme and ical but not the iphone. Please send a email to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback. I hope they resolve this issue too.

  • I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function

    I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function or revert to the previous system. Even the typing function on IOS 7 is faulty - very slow to respond to the keyboard. I no longer enjoy using my iPhone. Can anyone assist. Thank you

    Very strange! All of my calendar events have reappeared. This has happened one week after downloading iOS 7
    The calendar however,  is not easy to use.
    The typing function on the phone has  become even slower. Have to wait for each letter to show on screen.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
        1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
        2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
        3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • TS3999 Yesterday my iphone and Ipad calendars stopped syncing.

    Yesterday I noticed that my Iphone and Ipad calendars stopped syncing. I tried running an iCloud backup on both devices but nothing changed.

    1) Settings>iCloud>Calendar>ON.
    2) Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>scroll to Calendars section>Default Calendar>iCloud.
    3) Open Calendar app> tap the "Calendars" button (upleft corner)>tap "Show All Calendars".

    You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
    iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
    MM should be the default calendar on all clients.
