.Mac + Google Calendar + Spanning Sync + Nokia E61 = almost perfect

I have been really happy to be able to keep my iCal calendar synched on both my macs and Google Calendar AND my E62. Everything works as expected with a small exception.
When I initiate a synch via automatic .Mac synch or manually via the menubar icon, my .Mac calendar and google calendar (and address book, etc) get synched fine, but the phone is left out of the equation.
I have to open iSynch and push the Synch Now button in iSync for the phone.
I would like for the phone to be synchronized when the .Mac synch is initiated.
Whew - that was complicated. If anyone has trouble understanding, please post - I will try to explain better.
MacPro Quad 2.66Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Take a look at Julian Wright's FREE Sync Now utility to see if that won't achieve what you want.

Google Calendars not syncing to iPhone 6

As of about 3 days ago my google calendars stopped syncing to my iPhone 6 using iOS 8.1.1. I noticed some events were not syncing, going both directions. I removed Calendar Sync from my google gmail account, which deleted all of my google calendars for that account. Then I added calendar sync again. When I did that the calendars do not appear in my iOS calendars app. I've tried to refresh, i've deleted and added several times, but no calendars. I've even posted on the Google support page (https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/calendar/ios/jmqloVY4LmQ). I can't find anything to say why I'm having this issue or how to correct it. I've added it using all of the recommendations from Google, using a google account, and I've selected my calendars to sync. But It's not even showing my primary calendar now. Please help!

I had the same problem, but read this after the downgrade opportunity expired. After almost 2 months I figured it out. I set up the Gmail/Google Calendar/Google Contacts on my iPhone as an Exchange Account many years ago. Google discontinued this in 2013 for all new users, though it still worked for me (until Nov 17th). Google now uses CardDAV for Contacts and CaIDAV for Calendar (since 2013). They recommend using the Gmail app for their mail. Here is a link on how to set up Gmail/Contacts/Google Calendar: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/3008051?hl=en
I did this yesterday and now everything works. I was surprised that there weren't more complaints about the issue (I thought there must be hundreds of thousands of people affected) but most people probably have it set up using the newer method, which obviously wasn't affected by iOS 8.1.1

Google Calendar stopped syncing

Up until recently my Google Calendar was synced with my BlackBerry calendar... But it's just stopped!
However, all calendars are still selected and I can see no reason why.
Help?

Are you syncing via the Google Sync app? If so, open it - there should be a warning message explaining the problem.

Gmail google cal Spanning Sync MobileMe Contact Address Book = What a mess

Hi,
I used to have my life on an exchange server, I then switched to use gmail and google calendar but kept my contacts in Mac addressbook (which I imported from outlook).
Now the only clean way I found to sync Google calendar with my iphone is by installing Spanning Sync --> iCal --> MobileMe --> iphone.
I don't use iCal, I don't use mobile me. Just google calendar and iphone.
It all seemed to be peachy but I got greedy and wanted to consolidate my contacts across all of these.
What a mess!
I now have over two thousand contacts, hundreds of duplicates, hundreds of empty cards, dozens of names without any information whatsoever.
The "find duplicates" and merge functions on address book are a joke and even so, spanning sync seems to keep adding them back on..
What's going on!?
Anyone else have this problem?
How are you solving it?
Or do you have an altogether different system for consolidating google calendar , contacts and iphone!
HEEELP
Thanks

Do you mean each Contact has double-entries in the All group? Or do you mean the contacts appear in multiple Smart Groups as well as the All group?
You can restore a previously backed-up Address Book by using the built-in "*Revert to Address Book backup...*" function on the file menu.
Before you start doing anything though I would suggest backup your current messed-up Contacts using the same backup function.
You can also try exporting the All group as a vCard, deleting all your Contacts and smart groups, re-import the vCard and start over. It should notify you on import of duplicates.

My google calendar is synced to my ical on my iPhone but nothing shows up on my iCloud calendar?

I have synced my google calendars to my ical on my iphone and it works great. I just started to sign into icloud on my mac and noticed that none of my calendars or events are showing there? How do I sync them?

Your Google calendar is not stored locally on your devices (other than a temporary cached view for use while your device is offline); it's stored on Google's server (just as iCloud calendars are stored on iCloud's servers). Neither can sycn data from the other service's server. If you want to use iCloud to sync your calendars, you have to import it to iCloud's server as shown in the linked video. Or, just continue to use Google instead. (They are similar services.)

Google calendar iPhone sync issue

Unable to uncheck a calendar in the iPhone google calendar sync menu. Keep receiving notifications linked to this calendar even though I have disabled notifications.

Outlook is definately a problem. Ive been at it for a couple of days going through this thread and others. Still not syncing.
What Apple has to realize is that windows people have different microsoft offices, i use 2000 because the schedule is shared between everyone, this is an addon in newer copys of office.
When i make a call or recieve a call i would like to see an option to add the caller to the schedule .. When your on the phone with the caller you can just hit a button and it brings you right to the calendar and enters the caller in the schedule where ever you place them.
Anyway i will keep at the sync thing for a while and see what happens. Nothing so far. l8r

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.

Google calendar stopped syncing with iphone

We sync the iphone 4s with google calendar and yesterday the sync just stopped. It still works fine with another iphone 4s, but this one just stopped syncing. Any ideas from anyone out there? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

After searching all day I found this in another response to setup your account you must create a new account as an Microsoft Exchange account.
Follow the instructions provided by Google to set up your gmail account as an Exchange account on the iPhone. You can then sync calendars and contacts as well as receive push e-mail.

Google Calendar not syncing

I've spent hours trying to solve this with no solution and it's a major problem for me and an actual dealbreaker, so I'd like to thank you all in advance for any help you're able to offer. I rely heavily on Google Calendar and have two Gmail accounts - work and a Google Business email account. I use multiple Calendars for both accounts, and none seem to be supported by BlackBerry 10. Personal Gmail
After trying many times, two things keep happening:
1.) When I enter my Gmail details, contacts and emails are fine. Calendar also appears on the list, but when I open up the calendar app, only the local Calendar is shown. The devcal settings are there and correct, but nothing appears. 2.) Sometimes when I re-add the Gmail account to try and resolve this issue, I get an error message saying that it cannot connect or authenticate with the server. Again, no calendar. Work Gmail
With my work gmail account, I don't even get as far as the steps above. When I enter my details (via the specified Gmail selection in 'create new account', I only get email. Also, my work gmail contacts (with the database of company emails) also aren't showing up, meaning I have to type each work email address out manually. This is a real deal breaker for me and I'd really appreciate any help or input if this is happening to anyone else. I know I know I'm not the only one with this problem: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/calendar/5KEecRbDrCQ/1Nma0GkzuKgJ and have similar problems on my PlayBook. IS Google Calendar simply not supported in BB10? Because that's really quite bad. Coupled with the bad Maps app makes this a real deal breaker, which is a massive shame as I like everything else about the Z10 and BB10. Thanks for the help.

Hello all,
I just picked up a Z10 on Tuesday in Canada and, like the rest of you, could not sync my Google calendars to the Z10 with the default Gmail setup. The following is an explanation of how I managed to sync multiple Google calendars (all linked to the same email address).
First, I followed the instructions posted by Blackberry to connect to Gmail through Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. That took care of syncing up my contacts, emails, and my primary google calendar. I also have a work calendar and a Canadian Holiday calendar linked to the same email address and I wanted those available on my phone without adding a bunch of different accounts.
Next I followed these directions to sync up all of my google calendars. They are written for the Playbook, but it's the same process for the Z10. I also enabled "Delete Email as Trash", because when I click "delete email" I don't want to archive it, despite Google setting that as the default behaviour... Needless to say, piecing together this information was quite a task, and enabling multiple calendar sync is way more complicated than it should be. I have read that Google is not supporting new ActiveSync activations for free users, so this method may not work for people who have never used ActiveSync with Google. I'm not sure if the problem is on Blackberry's side or Google's, but this type of bug is probably only scaring new Blackberry users away. I hope that the issue is resolved soon.

Google calendar not syncing anymore with my BB and vice-versa

Hi everyone!
A few days ago, I updated my BB curve 9360 to OS 7.1 and earlier today I noticed that my Google calendar was not syncing properly... Well wasn't syncing at all. However I received mails and was able to delete them correctly
First I noticed, that my email address was not registered as a calendar anymore. Then I tried to send service books which added my Google calendar as default calendar in my BlackBerry (good thing I guess).
But that's all it did. Now, when I add a new event in Google calendar using my BB, it doesn't sync with the Internet-based calendar and when I add a new event in Google calendar, it does not sync with my BB either (and I have waited more than 30 minutes).
So here is what I can do to try and solve this problem:
-Send service books one more time but I don't think it is very useful
-Delete my email account and setting it up once again
So I am completely lost because it has always worked until I updated my OS from 7.0 to 7.1. My data plan hasn't changed.
Thank you for your help
Regards,

Hi ThomasDM,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
To resolve this issue with calendar synchronization, please try forcing a Gmail® synchronization on the BlackBerry® Curve™ 9360 smartphone. Before doing this could you please verify once more that your default calendar on the BlackBerry® Curve™ 9360 smartphone is still listed as your Gmail® account?
1. Click the Menu key > Options > under Accounts click the Gmail® account > remove the Checkmark from Wireless Synchronization > click the Back menu key and Save
2. Under Accounts click the Gmail® account > place a Checkmark in the Wireless Synchronization box > click the Back menu key and Save
Note: The following prompt will appear " Some of your calendar changes might be lost. Enable wireless Calendar?" Yes or No. Click Yes
Hope this helps.
-FS

Google calendar not syncing wirelessly

I'm on a bell 9780. I've had my email and calendar working perfectly until 1 month ago. Now my Google calendar won't wirelessly sync. I double checked my settings and it's setup correctly.
I've tried
1. soft reboot
2. hard reboot
3. spoke to bell tech support - they had me pull my battery & SIM, then reinsert, go into host routing table and reinitialize on the network as they resent the service books.
Nothing has worked. The only thing that changed 1 month ago is that I updated the RIM app world application
Bell has told me to contact RIM as they wrote the software
Any suggestions??

This is happening to me now as well, ever since I updated from OS 5 to OS 6.0.0.415. All the options for wireless sync are there but it just doesn't seem to work.
Do I need Google Sync installed? I thought that since the last BIS update this wasn't needed any longer.

Google calendar not syncing now

hi,
im really hoping for some help.
I have previously been syncing my calendar on my iphone 3g with google calendar. everything has been working fine
however, I have had to use a new computer to upgrade my software on my phone.
now i cant get my calendar to sync with the new computer.
all the settings on the phone are the same.
any help will be much appreciated
thanks in advance

Which iTunes version? In case of version 8.2 the issue is not related to your new computer but a general bug related to the new iTunes version.
You shold be able to bypass the issue as follows:
The problem can be bypassed as follows:
For Windows XP
Use the following path to find the program "gconsync.exe": C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin
right-mouse-click on the file gconsync.exe
choose "properties"
click on the "compatibility" tab
activate the tick box "compatibility mode" and chose "Windows 98"
You're done! No re-start of your computer necessary, just connect your iPhone to your computer, start iTunes, and experience syncing to work again.

Issues with Google Calendar subscriptions syncing.

Until today, the calendars I subscribe to on Google Calendar were showing up in my Calendar app (and by extension, Notification Center). Now they're gone, and I didn't change any settings. When I go into Calendar preferences the subscribed calendars don't even show up in the 'Delegation' tab where they used to. How can I get them back?

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I am guessing you setup the http://www.google.com/mobile/apple/sync.html
Please keep in mind that this service is still in Beta. So you may find that certain features do and do not work as you are experiencing. You may find some additional settings options for google calendars at

Mail for Exchange and Google Calendar - some sync ...

Let's say I do this:
1. modify an event in Google's calendar
2. modify an event on my N79's calendar
3. start the sync on the N79
Only the event I modified on the N79 (2.) will get synced to the Google Calendar. Then, only after I sync AGAIN the event modified on Google calendar (1.) will get reflected on the N79. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
The other issue is that, even tho I have set to sync every 4 hours it doesn't always work. I synced manually at 13:08 and I checked now (18:30) and no new syncs happened, even tho they should (it's all set correctly).

To describe the first problem in simpler terms (after some additional testing):
As long as there's a new event created on the phone, it won't sync anything from the server to the phone, but only from the phone to the server.
It will only sync from the server to the phone in a new session, if there are no new(or modified) events from the phone.
