Shared Gmail calendar iCal sync problem.

I have a work gmail calendar that is shared between me a colleague that tracks our shifts. In gmail I see both his entries and my own. However when I sync in iCal I only see my entires. I've tried adding him as a delegate but nothing. Any suggestions?

Here is the full Text from User marcmec again:
Back up iCal (just to be safe)
1) I disabled automatic syncing to .mac and in iTunes.
2) I made sure (manually) that all appointments that were on my iPhone were in iCal
3) In iTunes: did a "Replace information on this iPhone" with Calendars checked
Tested sync - still didn't work
4) In .mac sync preferences, in the sync panel, click advanced, click 'reset sync data', Replace Calendars on .mac with sync info from this computer.
5) Do step 4 again but this time Replace Calendars on this computer with sync info from .mac.
6) In iTunes, did step 3 again.
Tested sync and all is working fine. Don't forget to re-enable automatic syncing to .mac and in iTunes if that was how you had it set up.
I hope this helps.
Will report on ipod touch in the in the evening or tomorrow... (TZ Europe)

IPhone 1.1.3 does not fix my iCal sync problems

Still having my wonderful iCal sync problems.
Got the old "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "name" because an error occured while merging data".
Gettin' kinda old after at least a month.
I've tried every suggestion in this group besides generating a new Admin account.

... wait a sec... oh wait a sec....
I just may have fixed my problem. Deleted <user>/Library/Calendar (Leopard calendar) and <user>/Library/Application Support/iCal (Tiger calendar) and then deleted all data and settings on my iPhone and I can finally sync a darn calendar without iTunes complaining.
Was even able to re-import one of my calendars and have it show up in...wait for it... BOTH places. OMG - welcome to the 21st century!
Even got rid of duplicate birthday calendars my iPhone had been building up!
Joy to the world! Woot Woot.

How do I turn off notifications for shared GMail calendars?

I use GMail and have several shared calendars for work. I have added these calendars to iCal on my iPhone 5 running iOS8. Through iCal, I have the settings so that only 2 calendars from my shared GMail calendars show up on my phone, however, there is one un-checked calendar (that has a daily event) that notifies me every single day of the event the next day! There are no alerts set for these events on the Google Calendar settings and the calendar isn't even supposed to show up on my phone's calendar, yet I'm still notified. Any ideas how to fix this or is it just a bug?
Thanks,
Jessie

settings > notifications and then turn off all Apps' notification you have in your Newsstand

Can't get shared Gmail calendars to work (Exchange)

Long time Android user bought an iPhone 5 last night. Having serious trouble getting shared Google calendars to display.
I have my Google account set up as Exchange. That seemed to go through smoothly and my main Google calendar shows up just fine. I then went to https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect and all of my calendars appear. I put checkboxes in the ones I wanted to sync to my iPhone, but they did not show up in my iPhone Calendar app. Waited and waited, never showed up.
I even deleted my Exchange account completely and re-added it. Still, only the primary calendar shows up in Exchange.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've been to that iphoneselect website from both my iPhone using the Safari browser, and from my computer using Chrome browser, and both browsers show the calendars I want to sync as having check marks in the boxes. Those calendars simply do not sync. Is there possibly some issue with Google not being aware that I have an iPhone since I had an Android for so long?
If I go to m.google.com/sync from my iPhone browser, it does not show up with a device select page. It just shows up with a generic Google sync page, where I can click a "Calendar" icon, then choose "Sync with a mobile device," then choose "Apple device" and it takes me to a settings page that ultimately leads me to the same check box webpage ashttps://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect. Which, as I said, already shows check marks in the calendars that I want.
I read this entire thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4310898?start=45&tstart=0. It seems to suggest that Google or Apple is making it so you cannot get shared calendars using Exchange any more, and that you have to do it by setting up a new account for calendars as just a regular "Gmail" account (instead of Exchange).
Anybody know how to fix this? Is it not possible to view multiple calendars using Exchange anymore??

I was able to get my shared calendars to show up in my iPhone Calendar list only after visiting https://m.google.com/sync/settings/iconfig/ in the iPhone Safari browser. That page lets me manage the Google Sync devices (e.g. iPhone, iPad), each has its own Settings page where I must click the checkbox to sync each shared calendar. Once I saved those device-specific settings, I was able to see the extra calendars on the iPhone.

How can i delete shared gmail calendars on my Mac's calendar?

Hello,
My company's email, calendar, etc is set up with the Google Apps. I created a Gmail account in my Mac (Running Yosemite) so I could sync the Calendar.
In the Gmail calendar, you can view calendars from teammates additional to your own to make life easier when setting up meetings, etc. Every time I add a teammate's calendar in Gmail, that new calendar is also synced in my Mac. Initially it was pretty cool, but what has happened now is that even though I delete the additional calendars in Gmail, these deletions are not replicated to my Mac, so I'm having to handle about 10 calendars and every time these other people receive invitations I have them on my Mac. The most I can do is "unselect" them in my Mac calendar but eventually somehow they get activated or "selected" again. Below a picture of what I see in my Mac.
How can I delete these calendars on my Mac?
Thanks in advanced for the help!

Welcome to the Apple communities.
I'm not all that sure that I fully understand your question. However if you are trying to delete the groups on the left-hand side of your address book, then simply click on them once to highlight them and use the delete key on your keyboard to delete them.
Any contacts within those groups will stay in your main account and will not be deleted along with the group heading.

Gmail calendar not syncing, now can't set up

Hi,
I'm on my second Playbook. I physically broke the last one (sniff). I had the gmail calendar sync working when I set it up in early Feb, but I noticed yesterday that it wasn't syncing anymore. Before anyone asks, I do have the latest OS.
I did some digging and here are my steps so far:
I was getting an error message when I double checked the settings and password for the account and clicked save. Email and contacts work correctly.
I checked the URL in my computer browser to see if I could get to it from my network. I used https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/events and after typing in my user and password, the file downloaded correctly. Opening it in notepad showed it was the right file and contained my calendar data in CalDAV format.
I then tried deleting and re-adding my gmail account. That's when I got this error: "Account Gmail - <my email address> - <my email address> failed testing with current settings." So I no longer have access to my gmail calendar or any of the entries that were there, because I already deleted the account.
I even tried KB33093 and that did not work for me either.
Is there something else I can try or is that it until the next OS update?
Note: I have a workaround by syncing my gmail calendar with a hotmail calendar and connecting to that on my playbook. It works, but it's not ideal as I can't edit the gmail calendar which is my main calendar.
Update: I was able to download the file at https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/events after typing in my user and password. A posting on another board thought that maybe the Playbook was being blocked by Google, this proves that it is not.

We must be at cross purposes. Gmail is imap and does not provide Activesync. Hotmail provides Activesync for mobile devices. Does your friend's playbook work if he deletes the account, restarts, then tries to add it back with caldav?
I think you are misinformed. According to Google: "Google Sync uses Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® to let your users synchronize their Google Apps mail, contacts, and calendars to their mobile devices." Here's the link. That is the service that has been converted to CalDAV for calendars, imap for Gmail and CardDAV for contacts. Hotmail/Outlook are ActiveSync as you say. I can't see Microsoft not using their own product, lol.
I don't think my friend would be willing to delete his accout and restart, lol. His PB is working after all

Calendar / Windows sync problem

My iPhone syncs contacts, etc. just fine with Windows. However, I get an error message syncing the calendar: "the sync server failed to sync the iPhone". Odd message. Any suggestions??? Thank you!

ICal syncing problems (with Lion?)

I've only noticed this since upgrading to Lion but I am having problems syncing my phone and iCal via iTunes.
To start, I spent almost 3 hours on the phone with Apple a few days ago and we thought we fixed the issue. Here were the original problems:
event made on phone would not sync to computer at all
event made on computer would sync to phone but...
it would also make duplicate events in one of two ways:
would make identical event at same time on different calendar
would make random New Event items where I never made them
So, we spent 3 hours and basically fixed it
        Now, today, I'm having major problems with recurring events getting screwed up. I'm a teacher, so I put in my teaching schedule via recurring events. Fine. Then I delete a week off for a break on the computer and sync and it still shows up on the phone. Computer is blank and phone has weekly schedule still there. So, I pick a day and manually delete events in the phone and sync again. That day is now gone from phone and computer but the other 4 days of the week (which were blank on the computer) now REAPPEAR on the computer.
         Does anybody have any solutions or has anybody experienced the same? My impression is that it started happening when I installed Lion. I am not sure that is the case because I wasn't intensely using my computer in the month after I installed Lion. Maybe it has to do with iOS? Maybe iTunes? It is really a horrible feeling to no longer trust your calendar program. How do I know if it's accurate or not?
         What happened to the days when Apple just worked?! That is why I paid a premium for this computer and phone. If I want to troubleshoot important things all day on a Sunday I can save $1000 and buy a PC.

Thank you for sharing Derek. I have exactly the same issues you described in your bullet points, and it started with the Lion upgrade (I even bought a MacBook Air at the same time...)
When you say "we basically fixed it" -- can you share what the issue was and how you fixed it with Apple?
Thanks

I just erased all my contacts on accident while trying to fix an ical syncing problem. Please help!

Hello There,
I have NO idea what just happened. I am trying to stay calm here. Please help.
I have been trying to fix the fact that my iphone calendar isn't sending info to my ical on my MacBook Pro. I followed some instructions I found in a forum and then unplugged my phone haphazardly by not ejecting it from iTunes... I just pulled it off the cord and all my contacts erased in a blink of an eye. Here's the instructions I followed. Please tell me how I can get them back! Can I call AT&T? BTW... the instructions didn't fix the ical problem either.
(These are the instructions I tried from http://iphonewriter.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues.h tml) I added my own sidenote in Bold.
Here's the down and dirty fix:
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.)
***When I re-opened ical nothing was gone but I followed the following steps anyways.***
     5. Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
     6. Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
     7. Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.
That's it! You should be all set and iTunes, iCal and our Apple iPhone should all be playing nicely as friends again. We've used the exact method to repair our own Apple iPhone at least once... maybe even twice.
MacBook Pro OSX.6.8 and iPhone 3GS

Hi,
Can't you restore your iPhone via iTunes and use the "restore from last backup". I know when I has my phone replaced this copied all my contacts (from my last sync)back to my phone.
Hope that helps

How to view shared gmail calendars?

I have set up my Gmail account, but can not vew other's calendars I have been granted permission to (ie. my husband's calendar that he has shared with me). How do I set this up?
When I am logged into Gmail through the browser, I have this access, but would like to have it integrated with my Calendar app on the iPhone, if possible.

You can choose which calendars you see from the Google Sync page.

ICal Syncing problems with Exchange

So I figured iCal was closely related enough to Mail and Address Book that I could post this question here. If there is a more appropriate section please just let me know.
I have a user who is connecting to Exchange 2007 via Mail/iCal/Address Book in Mac OS 10.6. Well last week, his calendar just stopped syncing. When I went to check it out, I removed and then tried to re-setup the connection to Exchange and got an "incorrect password" error. The password is definitely correct as it worked logging in to OWA and when I setup his calendar on another computer. In addition I was able to setup a connection to my own Exchange calendar on his computer, but then had it fail when I tried his again.
So my question is how do I totally reset iCal to "factory" without resorting to creating a new user profile and moving everything over? Obviously something of his credentials or account setup is malformed and saved in iCal. Here is what I have (unsuccessfully) tried so far:
+a] shutdown iCal+
+b] rm -rf ~/Library/{Caches,Caches/Metadata,Preferences,Application\ Support}/iCal+
+c] rm -rf ~/Library/Calendars+
+d] rm -rf ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices+
+e] start iSync, open Preferences window and click Reset Sync History button+
Any more ideas? Thanks in advance!

Just as an update, I tried creating a new user profile to no avail. Still iCal is unable to connect to Exchange using his credentials. My next step is wipe the whole computer unless anyone has another idea.

IPOD Nano : calendar/iCal sync issue

Since the change made on MobileMe calendar, I can't sync my "old" iPODs nano calendar with iCal anymore. (I have a 2nd generation iPOD Nano and a 4th generation one)
My guess is that the iCal datas are nomore on the Mac itself but somewhere in the MobileMe cloud and the iPOD nano can't find the datas anymore to update its calendar.
Is there a way to solve this issue?
Thanks a lot for any help or idea

Nobody has any idea on the way to sync my "old" iPOD nano calendar with iCAL on my Mac running MacOS X 10.6.8?
