Google calendar and iCal problem

Hello
I use the google calendar with iCal. And I use the google calendar week numbers and holidays.
Before I installed lion, I had snow leopard and everything worked great.
But now, with Lion, it doesnt.
It's totally random, sometimes when I start iCal the week numbers and holidays are shown, but
shortly, after it have synced the calendars the week numbers and holidays dissappear.
And then I can try to restart it a couple a times, but nothing happens. But after a reboot it syncs, and then the
week numbers and holidays appear again.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Hi c014,
had the same problem. Think I'll switch back to Snow Leopard in a few days, as it has not such a high amount of bugs and it is more stable. Addtitionally it doesn't exhaust your hardware in an extend, lion does.
Let's get it to your problem:
As a Lion, iCal and Google user I had the same problem. Just got it fixed by deleting the Google CalDAV Profile in the iCal settings. When done, just add your Google account to your iCal again and voilà, that gave me back all my entries including week numbers and holidays.
Hadn't had the possibility to test if this solves the problem permanently. But I think so, as there are some other programs for example, that you can get back to work by reinstalling them, after they stopped working since Lion update.
Hope this will help you

Google calendar and iCal

I have a google calendar and all day events appear out of order in ical they are fine in iOS apps on the iPhone and the iPad, but on the desktop they are all messed up and it appears to random because every day they are ordered differently? Any advice would we welcome

Thanks John,
I was afraid of this, It is strange because on the google calendar everything is in order numerically. When I access the calendar in iCal they are different each day and it appears random with no rhyme or reason. also strange that on the iOS devices everything is in order.
thanks for the help.
regards

Can't sync google calendar to ical

I had google calendar working perfectly using CalDav before updating to Mavericks. Even after the update it worked perfectly. Then I deleted my google account on Mavericks so I could get the email working again. Now Mac Mail works perfectly with GMail IMAP. But, I can't get iCal to work using caldav and google calendar. Anybody got this working, and if so, how? Google Calendar changed their servers a few months ago, but I have the correct url. Help!

I've been working at this for 2 days now. I added my Google calendar in iCal a few days ago and it worked fine just by going through the internet accounts setup in Mavericks. I deleted the account because I was having issues with duplicate contacts and such and now I can't add it again.

Iphone/google calendar and ical - not able to select the calendar

Ok, I can get my google calendar to sync with ical (using caldav or whatever and not some subcription method) as well as sync to my iphone.
My problem is entering a calendar event on my iphone. It always ends up in some other calendar. I can never change it. What am I doing wrong?

BEWARE of the "replacement" - when they say they will replace it, they often mean with a refurbished device, they will not replace it with a new device.
Because I bought my 4s from a different retailer, even though it is an Apple device that failed less than 24 hours out of the box, Apple will not give me a new phone - they acknowledged that it is a manufacturing defect, and couldn't understand why I was not satisfied with receiving a refurbished device. This seems ridiculous to me - I'm a long-time, repeat customer - but that doesn't appear to matter.
I've heard great things about Apple customer service, now that I've needed it, I've found it isn't so great after all.

Since Jan 1st cannot sync google calendar and iPhone calendar

I had google calendars syncing just fine between iCal on my laptop and iPhone by using Exchange on my iphone. Since the first of the year I can't get one of the calendars to sync. I have a work calendar and personal calendar as well as two shared calendars that belong to others. Since Jan 1st my work calendar will not show up on my iPhone. Even if I add an event on my iPhone it shows up briefly then disapears??? The only thing I changed prior to this issue was adding a shared calendar. My personal calendar has and is still the default. No other settings were changed. Another thing is that on my phone my work calendar keeps unselecting itself so it shows 2 calendars rather than 3.
I went on the exchange settings and turned off everything and turned them back on and made it worse. Now none of my calendar events show up but the two shared calendars do. On google sync settings they are all selected still- both on my computer and iphone.
Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help!

It may be more than this but there is an issue with shared google calendars discussed here: http://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!category-topic/calendar/syncing-my-cal endar/m8zzIAYN9rI

How to sync hotmail calendars and ICal using exchange/ active-sync.

HT2513 google calendar and iCal

WIthin my Google calendar, I created a calendar for each of my family members. All events are visible on my MAC in iCal. On my iPhone and iPad, only my events are visible. What is going on?

Hi,
On your iOS devices open the Calendar app. Then press the Calendars button at the top left. Make sure all the calendars you want are ticked there.
Where the Google calendars appear on iCal would depend on how you add them. If you connect using the iCal > Preferences > Accounts pane then the Google CalDAV calendars will appear under their own section, not under "On My Mac". However there are third party add-ins that put them under the "On My Mac" section.
Best wishes

Syncing Oracle Calendar and iCal both ways

Hi,
Is there a 3rd party application or any solution that could be used to manage events between iCal (vsn 2) and Oracle Calendar in both ways?
I've found a few ways to sync iCal from Oracle Calendar, but didn't find the other way.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Gui

Is there a way to make the Oracle client export to an .ics at regular intervals?
I'd like to drop the ics onto a webserver and subscribe to my work calendar.
Only issue with this process is manually exporting to ics when my calendar updates.

Once I have synced my Google calendar to iCal, can I turn off syncing and save all info in iCal?

I have been using Google Calendar, and syncing info from it to my Mac, iPad and iPhone. Now that all the info I originally entered into Google Calendar is on my Apple devices, can I turn off syncing it and save all the events, birthdays, etc. that were put into iCal up to this point? I have only been adding to my iCal via the Mac, iPad or iPhone for several months now, so it seems silly to keep using Google Calendar.

Unless you have backed up your iCal data, there is no way to retrieve the now missing data. To easily back up your calendar data, simply choose the Back up Database… option under the File menu in iCal.
Microsoft cautions users that deletion of the Entourage calendar in iCal—without first disabling the synchronization function with Entourage—will result in exactly the outcome you see.
If you have not subsequently synchronized with .Mac since you deleted the iCal calendar, you can selectively restore calendar files as a collection of calendars from .Mac by using the Reset Sync Data… option in the .Mac preference pane by launching System Preferences, pressing the .Mac icon then the Advanced tab, and waiting for your client list to update. Once you've done that, press the Reset Sync Data… button, choose Calendars from the drop down menu and pick the option to replace the data on your Macintosh with data stored on the .Mac servers.

ICal syncs Google calendar with iPad and iPhone but not MacBook Air

Hi there,
Sorry to post another thread about syncing issues, but the solutions posted in the ones I looked at didn't quite solve my problem, so I'm wondering if I'm having an issue that's specific to the way I've set things up with my devices?
I created a Google account for the sole purpose of having a Google calendar that I could share with my Dad. We both access this Google calendar through iCal.
My Dad generally checks or posts updates using iCal on his iPad and iPhone. Meanwhile, I'm using iCal on my MacBook Air, which FWIW is also running Snow Leopard. (I don't have an iPad or iPhone - this is my only means of accessing the calendar.)
Any change he makes on the calendar will show up on both of his devices, but not mine. Any change I make will not show up on his devices.
I logged into the Google account in a web browser (Chrome, FWIW) and checked the calendar through the same browser - all of his changes aren't showing up on it, but mine are.
I had my Dad reload the same Google calendar in his devices (i.e. delete the account and add it back again) and confirmed he's using the right Google address and password. This doesn't do anything to solve the problem.
What else am I missing? It's a little frustrating trying to fix this because my Dad's in another state so I don't see him that often, and even though I taught him how to use an iPad and an iPhone, he's still not the most computer literate person, so talking him through this is a little tricky.

On the MBPro and the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
Switch Calendars off then back on.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

Sync issues with Google Calendar and e-mail alerts

Hello,
I'm experiencing a lot of problems with iCal while I'm trying to sync it with Google Calendar. I have correctly inserted my Google account information into iCal, but:
when I create a new event and I disable the e-mail alert and save it, it automatically turns on the e-mail alert! Is there a way to disable by default all alerts? I have already tried to go to Settings - Advanced and select “Disable all alerts” with no result;
all the events I create into iCal are correctly synced with Google Calendar and I can correctly read them on the web app, but in my android device they don't have the time information (they are listed as all-day events)

GooSync would do the trick - http://www.goosync.com/
Plz be aware that Goosync nor Google Contacts supports all field from your phone so it is not an 100% backup unfortunately

Ical, iphone (mobileme), google calendars and sharing...

My first question is as follow: I use googlemail at work and have a work calendar. I would like to be able to see that in ical (at home) and on iphone through mobileme. Is this possible? How?
Similarly, I have a personal calendar which i keep on mobileme (and in ical). I would like to be able to see this in google calendars. Is this possible?
Second question is I would like my husband to be able to see my personal calendar (mobileme). He has ical but does not have a mobileme account.
And is it possible for him to see a googlecalendar of mine on ical?
Thanks very much for any help you can offer.

There is a brilliant little App called 'Spanning Sync' which does just that! It syncs your iCal to your Google calendar and it is very easy to set up and use. However, it only lets you sync with one Google account per licence. If you need to sync to more than one Google account, you need to buy more licences. I use it very successfully and would recommend it to you without reservation.

Syncing Private Google Calendars to iCal

Friend of mine shared a private event calendar with me on Gcal (it is listed under "other calendars" on my google calendar account) and I cannot sync that particular calendar with my iCal.
Im assuming it has something to do with the privacy settings of my friends google calendar and that is why I'm unable to sync but I wanted to see if there was any way I could circumvent the problem.
If anyone had any ideas that might help I'd really appreciate it.
