Synching iCal with Google Calendar

I hear that it is now (as of today) possible to do this, but I have no idea how to go about it. My own fiddling-around got me nowhere. Has anyone got it to work? If so, please post a step-by-step description of what you did. Thanks.

Have thunderbolt and need to sync ical with google calendar in order to use. Any suggestions?

Have a thunderbolt and MacBook. Need to sync ical with google calendar as thunderbolt supports google calendar. Any suggestions?

I think we may be talking about two different things. Thunderbolt is the new two way display port on Mac Book Pros and Apple displays.
Thunderbolt (originally codenamed Light Peak) is an interface for connecting peripheral devices to a computer via an expansion bus. Thunderbolt was developed by Intel and brought to market with technical collaboration from Apple Inc. It was introduced commercially on Apple's updated MacBook Pro lineup on February 24, 2011.
Thunderbolt combines PCI Express and DisplayPort into a serial data interface. A single Thunderbolt port supports hubs as well as a daisy chain of up to seven Thunderbolt devices; up to two of these devices may be high-resolution displays using DisplayPort. You can move data to and from peripherals up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than with FireWire 800.

How to synch iCal with Google

To make entries in iCal that will synch with Google Calendar:
Deselect your calendar on the left bar, then click on your Google email link also in the left bar.
Now make your calendar entries in iCal and they will automatically synch with iGoogle Calendar.

What "left bar" are you referring to?

Using iCal with Google Calendars: can view subscribed calendars, but not add to them

Something recently happened to my google calendars causing them to all disappear from Google. Anyway, that mystery remains.
I am currently trying to re set up iCal to sync with Google Calendars and things aren't working quite right.
In iCal, I've done Calendar>Subscribe and entered the URL for that particular Google calendar. This has been completed for the 5 separate Google calendars I have and they show up in the list of subscribed calendars.
However, if I attempt to create a new event, the only calendar choice I have is for the main GMail calendar, not any of the subscribed "sub calendars".
In Preferences>Account, If I select Google and then go to the "delegation"tab, there is a message that states "You can't see delegation settings when this account is offline."
Can anyone offer some advice?
Thanks.

That's the part I always forget how to do. See if this answers your question:
To select which calendars to sync to your Apple device, follow these steps:
Open the Safari browser on your device and go to http://m.google.com/sync
Sign in with your account and select your device from the list of devices you've set up for Google Sync.

How do i sync ical with google calendar, in that direction

i have google cal and ical syncset up but it was set up by google telling what to enter into ical. this made my other calendars, all the google calendars i have other than the main one, into "delegates" on ical.
whats the reason or process for this? cant they just been normal calendars on ical?
the reason i ask is that i have a menu pull down app which seems to only read "normal" calendars and not delegated calendars...
can i sync ical to google cal but enter details into ical to sync with google rather than the other way round?

So if I make calendar entry in my iphone it syncs to my mac ical but not icloud.
If everything is set to use iCloud then it's impossible for data to get from the iPhone to the mac but not iCloud, since all the data actually resides on iCloud and is read from there by devices. It rather sounds as if you have some syncing going on iTunes. If you look at the calendar listing on your Mac and Phone they must be listed under iCloud, not 'On My Mac/iPhone' - is that the case?

How to sync iCal with Google calendar (both ways)???

I have been trying to sync my ical with my google calendar both ways.
I got all new event created in google calendar syncing into iCal but i can't get the one created in iCal go into google calendar.
Help please!!!!
thx

When entering a new event in iCal be sure your "google" calendar is highlighted on the left had side of your screen. That makes Google your default calendar as you add events. Or you can choose which calendar from the drop-down box in the details box when adding a new entry. The down side is that is seems you can only select one Calendar; so the "Home", "Work", "Untitled" options become moot if you want to sync back to google.
If you already had events scheduled in iCal; you can right click on them, select "Calendar" and then choose your google calendar. When you refresh your google calendar that event should show up.
You simply need to be sure what Calendar you're entering into. Also if you wait a few SECONDS the calendars DO sync without any need to manually synchronize them.
So basically, ensure you're entering into the Google Calendar in iCal and wait a minute.

HT2513 How do I syncing iCal with Google Calendar with 2-step verification turned on?

MacBook Pro
Lion 10.7.3
I am writing to ask for help in connecting my iCal to my google calendar with 2-step verification turned on.
While google has application specific passwords set up, they don't seem to work through iCal or though Mail, Contacts and Calendars. Any ideas or solutions would be great.
Thanks

Thanks Kao. I've tried that. Didn't work for me.
I found a reply in another thread that indicated that after setting up in Mail, Contats and Calendars I needed to delete my account from within iCal then recreate it in iCal using the application specific password. I did that. iCal seemed to accept it, I've closed and reopened a few times and it seems to be working now without the errors.
I was able to get it to work yesterday temporarily - hope it sticks this time.

Sync iCal with google calendar

I want to have all my events on my google calendar not my google events on my iCal.

When entering a new event in iCal be sure your "google" calendar is highlighted on the left had side of your screen. That makes Google your default calendar as you add events. Or you can choose which calendar from the drop-down box in the details box when adding a new entry. The down side is that is seems you can only select one Calendar; so the "Home", "Work", "Untitled" options become moot if you want to sync back to google.
If you already had events scheduled in iCal; you can right click on them, select "Calendar" and then choose your google calendar. When you refresh your google calendar that event should show up. I had hoped this would all be automatic (true two-way syncing) but I guess not.
You simply need to be sure what Calendar you're entering into. Also if you wait a few SECONDS the calendars DO sync without any need to manually synchronize them.

How to sync iCal with google calendar

I am trying to sync my Google calander with my iCal calander . I have tried the support suggestions in Google help. Re: creating another account in ICal etc.. But that doesn't work.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

This is the Apple iCloud forum which has nothing whatsoever to do with syncing with Google.

Synching iCal with iPhone calendar through iTunes on Snow Leopard

Hi,
I've seen some threads on in similar matters but none of them related to this problem:
I can't seem to sync my iPhone's calender and iCal throught iTunes. I CAN'T sync the two using iCloud, because I'm using Mac with Snow Leopard, which doesn't support iCloud.
I'm using iTunes 11.1.4, and when I go to the info tab on iTunes in order to sync the calenders, there are no options to choose. It simply says: "Your calenders are being synced with your iPhone over the air using iCloud, Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone".
I would rather not upgrade my OS unless I must. I'm using a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1.4 and iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.4.
Thank you for your help!
Daniel

Hi danielshachar!
It sounds like the settings in your phone may be prompting iTunes to report that your contacts and calendars are being synced through iCloud. Use the information in the following article to adjust this setting so that you can sync your contacts and calendars through iTunes instead:

ICal is no longer syncing with google calendar

I keep getting the error that the url is incorrect when syncing ical with google calendar. It just stopped working today for some reason!
When I look at the settings I see it adds an extra / at the end of the server path. When I delete that it syncs ok once only and then reverts back to the same problem! Help as I use this calendar to sync with google calendars on my imac so that i have the same calendar on my android phone!

the same is happening to me.
All my cals have been syncing just fine. Upgraded my iphone os5. upgraded lion on laptop. And for some reason, now i'm opening ical today and trying to edit, i am suddenly getting URL errors. Also i cannot find a way in the new ical (with lion) to unsubscribe from things.
My iphone seems to be updating ok as it's syncing from the google cal server... but if i want to add or edit anything to my google cals in ical, it's not letting me do anything.
Any ideas anyone ?

When syncing with Google Calendar invitees added to iCal events wont work

I'm using Spanning Sync to sync my iCal with Google Calendar (which
then syncs with the iPhone app Pocket Informant).
It may be a coincidence, but when I started using Spanning Sync, I
found that when I create a new iCal event and include someone in the
"invitees" field, that person then gets an error message when they attempt
to add the event to their iCal by clicking on the .ics attachment in the notification email ("iCal cant read this calendar file. No
events were added to your iCal Calendar").
When I add one of my own email addresses to the invitees field, the ics attachment works okay for me.
Is this related to the Google Calendar syncing or some other problem?

Can't sync with Google Calendar - exclamation point beside cal name

I am trying to sync iCal with Google Calendar using this recipe:
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=99358
However, once I have entered my Google calendar info, I only get an exclamation point beside the calendar name of the calendar I just created.
I get no error message, nothing, just an exclamation point.
Any idea what's wrong?

Just tried creating a brand new Google-account, but I get the same error when I try to sync it with iCal ...
... which leads me to believe this is an iCal-error?

Can, and if so, how do you synch iCal with your Google calendar?

Am trying to synch my iCal information with Google Calendar. I can find information to get Google info into iCal but not synching iCal information with into Google.

You can sync to one computer at a time.
When you sync to another it will delete the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
That would have nothing to do with it it not recognizing the device.
