Synching iCloud calendar with Google Calendar.

Hi
Please let me know the settings to make sure my Google calendar picks up entries in my iCloud calendar on my iPhone.
I am getting some entries that are synched and others that are not.
I can't narrow down which side of the two calendars is the one which I need to fix the settings.

Thanks. I appreciate the help. I believe by setting in my phone the default calendar to the Gmail one, it allowed me to synch the way I had wanted.
Ultimately I wanted to put an entry in my iPhone calendar that would also appear in a Galaxy's Gmail calendar. This now works.
I avoided mentioning Galaxy, because I didn't want 15 replies telling me to go to an Android forum for my answer.

Can Icloud sync with google calendar and gmail?

We use google calendar at my office and share it with our staff. I thought we would be able to sync those calendars with icloud and google. Before icloud, I set up an exchange account on Ipad, iphone, imac and it works well for calendar and email. I thought I could replace that sync with icloud, but it seems to not be designed that way. Should google calendar and gmail users stick with google?

THANK YOU ithos!
I have searched and searched to try and find a way to sync my Google calendars with iCloud.
You don't exactly say how to make this happen, but you gave me enough nuggets to put it together. Thank you for responding and helping me put it all together.
I have 5 Google calendars (Family, Work, Church, Extended Family Birthdays, US Holidays). My wife, two different assistants and I all share and update the calendars. I want all this to continue since it affects every aspect of my life. I sit at a PC at work and need to be able to view all those calendars during the work week, I also need to be able to view and edit from work (pc), iPhone, wife's iPhone, assistants computers, and our home (mac). So, staying Google - for now, is what I need.
I just upgraded to the 4S and Siri is one of the main reasons. Without iCloud syncing with my calendars Siri is USELESS with calendaring stuff. So, I have to have Siri able to view my calendars as well.
So, with that info, here's how I got it all to work.
For those of you who need a start to finish explanation, here it is:
1. Computer running the OS Lion (mine's an iMac)
2. Open iCal on the Mac
3. Open your Google Calendar
4. In iCal go to iCal --> Preferences --> Accounts.
Make sure iCloud is listed under Accounts. This was my default, so I didn't have to make any changes. If yours lists something different, sorry. I don't know how to change it. But I believe this is a KEY component as ithos above mentions that the subscription be 'located' on iCloud.
5. In iCal go to Calendar --> Subscribe
This will force a pop up asking you for the URL of the calendar you are trying to subscribe to.
Where do you find this URL? I found this article from 2006 that gives the low down:
http://www.tuaw.com/2006/04/13/howto-subscribe-to-a-google-calendar-using-ical/
Don't worry, even though it's from 2006 it still works. Here are the steps in a nutshell, but you should read the short article so you don't miss anything.
6. In Google Calendar you need to dig into EACH calendar that you want to 'Subscribe to' and find the unique URL for that calendar. This will allow you to then force iCal to look at and scrape the data from this calendar as often as every 5 minutes. As you follow the articles steps (they are very easy) then your iCal calendar will populate with the Google calendar data from the calendar you subscribed to. I had to do this for EACH calendar I wanted to show up on my iCal calendar.
7. I then grabbed my iPhone and asked Siri, "What does my day look like tomorrow?" She responded with all my iCal / iCloud (which are all subscribed to my Google calendars) calendar data. I smiled
This ONLY allows the Google info to be pushed to iCal / iCloud. It doesn't allow the info to go the other way.
It won't let Siri manipulate the iCal/iCloud calendar or the Google calendar. But at least Siri can see what's already there. So, a step in the right direction.
Good luck!

Synching Address Book with Google Contacts

I currently use Google Sync to keep Google Contacts and Google Calendar synched to my iPhone and it works perfectly. I want to also sync Google Contacts to my Apple Address book, and while I know where to configure this, I have a question before I turn it on.
In Address Book preferences if I check the box to sync Address Book with Google contacts is this going to wipe out my Google Contacts? Or will there be an opportunity to select which way I want the sync to occur? I want my Address Book to be the target in all cases and my Google Contacts to be the default master. I do not use Apple Mail, iCal, or Address Book on my Mac...I use Google Apps for everything, but I would like to keep my Mac Address Book as a carbon copy of my Google Contacts.
Thanks for any help before I start this sync.

I have had a similar problem. I can't find "contacts cleaner" in versiontracker. Is this an iphone app?

Synching Mac icalenders with google calendar

Dear all
been slowing moving into the apple world..
bought a macbook pro 13 i. yesterday and upgraded software to mountain lion yesterday
facing two chalenges
- cannot synch the calender in the mac with my google calendar.
It works well for the ipad & ipod touch ie through the microsoft exchange method but doesnt seem to be working for the pro.
- had bought numbers and keynote in november last year for the ipad and pod
its showing as i need to buy for the mac.. do i need to buy separately for ipad/touch and the mac???
Tried asking the people at the local store in jakarta but they said " we only sell machines cant help u with the rest!!!" - a bit of a shocker from an apple store.
please help clarify.

hi tried that but showing error for the calendar. should i reinstall everything ie mail, calendar.. contacts already working.
also went into app store to purchase - not working.. its shows price and when i click to download it doesnt do so.
lastly yes its the recommended premium reseller with authorised service centre for apple. Ibox is a chain all over jakarta. and the ratu plaza outlet is the recommended service centre too for apple
their attitude changed the moment i signed off on the payment and i asked if they can help upgrade RAM from 4gb to 8..
in a split second from where he said i will help u change the RAM after purchase to suddenly i dont know when we can help you after i took delivery.
and btw the service centre is within the store only..
basically he was not keen on doing the work after the sale..

TS3992 Synch icloud email with outlook mail.

I continually get a pop up asking me to enter my username and password for my icloud email address whenever I do a send/recieve in outlook mail.

Me too, did you ever find out the problem and how to resolve?
thank you

Why do I get double entries when synching calendar with Google calendar?

Since I have different iCloud passwords on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4s, I synch the calendars with Google calendar. It works - to a point. The problem I'm getting double entries in my IOS calendars. Any suggestions?

I too was having this issue recently. I decided to look into it and discovered that www.google.com and all of the search results accessed through using a google search engine toolbar were currupt. I believe I solved this problem by updating my firmware of my router.
Type in your IP address in your Address Bar (search using Yahoo what your default IP router address is if you haven't changed it since you got it.) You'll then need to navigate to your router's website (ex: I search Cisco and Linksys and found mine).
Most logins to the router are
Name: admin
Password: password
You will then download a .bin file and go to your administrator page in your router's control panel and go to Firmware Upgrade. Click the "find file" (or whatever it says) and click upgrade. This worked for me.
If this doesn't solve it, reset the router to it's default settings by either using it's control panel or holding the reset button on the back of it in for several seconds. This will reset any port forwarding you may have set up as well as your Wifi password.
Hope this helps,

Share iCloud calendar with Google Calendar

Ok, so I'v moved all my contacts, email and calendars to iCloud and everything is wonderfull.
I share a few calendars with my girlfriend and she is sharing her study calendar with me.
We have a shared calendar set up, where we enter when our son is in daycare and we have another shared calendar with things we do together.
Now comes the tricky question:
How do we share our icloud calendar showing our sons day in the daycare, with our parents who don't have any Apple devices and only uses google calendar?
Reason for this is, we live in the same city, and sometimes they want to go and pick up our son. With a shared calendar like that, they would just be able to write a note in their synced google calendar saying that they are going to pick up our son, and we would see it in our synced icloud calendar.
Also, my girlfriend only have an old-school cellphone. She is now finnaly getting a smartphone through her work.
Only problem I see comming with this, is that her phone is not going to be an iPhone.
So how do we keep sharing all our icloud calendars with her on a windows phone 7.5?
Is the Apple ecosystem finaly getting so clamped up, that it won't allow users who happen to have frinds or family without i-products, to share their life with them?
As everything stands now, I'm getting the feeling that Apple demands me to buy Apple products to all my family and frinds, just so that we can still interact and plan our different lives through shared calendars on icloud.
Can this really be right?
I hope I'm just missing something. Cause I really thought, that icloud would be this outstanding product which would make my cloud-life the easiest thing in the world. Instead, it really seems to be a step back, in the cloud evolution.

Thanks for your answer..
it dosn't really solve my problem, since I'm not interested in only sharing a calender on the web.
My wish is to sync my calendar with friends and family that are not using icloud, and not using apple product at all.
For example: My girlfriend, how finaly is getting a smartphone, needs some way to add and edit our shared calendar, so that we can both enter and edit appointments.
Same goes for my parrents, that whants to be able to set appointments of when they want to pick up our son at the daycare.
All this is possible, and has been possible for ages with other online calendar systems, so why does apple take a step down the evolutionstaires by disabling such a great feature?
Though MobileMe was not perfect, it did infact make this possible as I remember, so why can't this be done in iCloud?
You can subscribe to CalDav on your i-device, but you can't share one with friends, in what world is that logic?

ICloud for PC not compatible with Google calendar sync?

I have a PC (Win7), a MacBook Pro, an iPhone and an iPad 2. Since MobileMe stopped their calendar sync, I have used 2-way Google calendar sync between all of my devices successfully to keep my calendar updated on all devices. I continued to use MobileMe to keep my contacts synced, but that option is ending this week, so I purchased CodeTwo to sync my contacts via iCloud. I installed Code Two and the iCloud control panel on my PC, and set them to sync only contacts, and blam ... my PC calendar no longer syncs to my Google calendar. All of the other calendars are syncing to Google and each other.
My PC calendar is the most important one and I need it to sync to all devices. I use Google calendar sync since it handles the Outlook group meeting invitations I receive & send through my workplace seamlessly (and iCloud does not). So using iCloud for my calendar is not an option.
How do I fix this?

After about an hour on the phone with Apple support, we discovered that somehow there was more than one calendar - one that I generally use and two marked archive. One was actually my Outlook archive folder, one was the Outlook default calendar (which was also marked archive) which is the one that WAS syncing with my Google calendar (but that we couldn't see), and the third calendar which is the one that I thought wasn't syncing with Google Calendar.
So now my question has changed - where did this mystery calendar come from. At one time I did have MobileMe installed on my computer for both calendars and contacts. I stopped using MobileMe for my calendar when it stopped syncing automatically and I uninstalled MobileMe today as part of our troubleshooting. Is it possible that when I installed the iCloud control panel on my PC and set it to sync contacts only, that it picked up the MobileMe calendar? In any event, I need to get rid of the unexpected "archive" folder and start syncing Outlook's default calendar. Any ideas how I do that?
There are days when computers completely drain me.

Problem Synching with Google Calendar

Having difficulty syching 8900 with Google calendar. Downloaded google synch to phone. When I check the Calendar Properties it show Wireless Synchroniztion as "No". It won't let me change this.. When I try to synch. I get the message that says"Login failed, due to network problems, please check your settings" Service is with Tmobile. Not sure which settings are not right.

The calendar options should say no. It will only say "yes" is if you're on a BES. I think I had that error when I first started using Google Sync a while ago. I think I just uninstalled and reinstalled the program after getting that error a few times and then I was able to log in and setup the program

Each time I start up my MacBook Air a document appears on the desk top -calendarlogging.txt I'm synching my calendar with iCloud. Using Mavericks, but the same file was appearing using Lion. Any thoughts. Thanks

Each time I start up my MacBook Air a text file appears on the desk top (calendarlogging,txt) the file/document contains lines of code. I'm using iCloud to synch my calendar to multiple other devices - iMac, iPad and iPhone. Using Maverick on both my iMac and my MacBook Air. The file was also showing up on the desktop when I was using Lion. Any thoughts?

Hi everyone,
To anyone who might read this, I ended up re-installing with the original install disc and was able to get back on to Mac, though I lost all of the previous data that I had not backed up. Unsure still if it will continue to let me access the HDD in this, but it kind of confirms that installing Lion probably put too much stress on the computer this last year.

Share icloud calendar with google calendar users

I know that this has been asked before, but I can find no official response from apple to the question of how to share my icloud calendar with google calendar users (or frankly, anyone not using icloud)
Can anyone point me to an official response to this surprising intransigence?
cheers
Ben

It is a 2 way sync, enter the event on the iCloud calendar (in Google) and it will be there when you view the calendar in iCal, or Google or at the iCloud website.
Do you know how to publish to Google in BusyCal?

TS3999 how can I sync my icloud calendar with a google calendar

how can I sync my icould calendar with a google calendar?

The calendars reside on different servers and as far as I know there isn't a way to sync between them. You can, of course, add your Google calendar to your devices and continue to use Google to keep it in sync. If you open the Calendars app on your devices and tap Calendars on the top left, then tap Show All Calendars, your Google and iCloud calendar events will appear together your calendar. You will only need to decide which one you wish to use as your default when adding new enteries, then set this in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar.

Sharing iCloud calendar with Google user

Hello, I would like to share my own iCloud calendar as well as our two children's and the family's calendars, with my husband who is a Google user. I have gone onto iCloud.com and use the share public button, and sent my husband the invitation to subscribe to these calendars (with read-only access). However, the weird thing is when my husband tries to click on the Subscribe button, it does not work as it does not appear to be a clickable link. Has anybody else experienced this? And, do you how I can resolve this issue? Thanks.

Hi Roger,
I'm having this same problem, only GMail doesn't seem to provide any way to get the link that way. However, I am able to get a URL by viewing the plain text of the e-mail, it looks something like this:
webcal://p04-calendarws.icloud.com/ca/subscribe/1/...
When I try to add it, Google says "Sorry, webcal://... is not a valid URL" and it also says this even if I change the webcal:// to http:// ... Is this the error message to expect due to Google's stupid bug?
Thanks!
P.S. I am trying to subscribe because I need my wife's calendar in iCloud to sync with my Android phone... this has been a monstrous pain to try to get it to work with nothing to show for it so far... :-(

Does iCloud calendar synch with anything other than MS Outlook?

I am a mixed user (Apple and PC) but do not have MS Outlook available. Is there another calendar available on a PC to connect to iCloud?
Thanks

tried both, downloaded the trial. When I input those accounts in EM Client, it says syncing contacts, then nothing shows up, just says no contacts. I don't know if I am doing something wrong or if my icloud is not setup properly.
I will try again tomorrow. I've been at this for a while now and my head hurts!
Thanks for the help though, I appreciate it!
I switched because honestly sprint sucked. I was debating another android but figured I've heard great things about the iphone so I would try it out. I love the phone, but this integration/backup is no where near as simple as my android was to sync with google.
