  • 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

  • ICal Alerts Disappear (synching with Google Calendar)

    I'm synching three Google Calendars to iCal: two work accounts and a personal account, all running on Google apps. These calendars are all synched to my iPhone as well. I have the default alert setting in iCal set at 10 minutes. The problem is that the alerts don't seem to be synching up to Google calendar.
    I noticed that none of my alerts were happening. After being late for a couple meetings as a result of this, I investigated. Here's what I've gathered.
    The default alert don't seem to stick.
    Additional alerts created in iCal don't stick either.
    Alerts created on my iPhone stick and synch up to Google Apps just fine - they show up in the Google Apps web interface as expected. However, these alerts dont' synch down to iCal.
    The problem is universal across all three accounts.
    Unlike the ongoing "can't delete events via iCal" issue that's well documented (and incredibly still not fixed) there's no mention of an alerts synch issue on the CalDAV known issues page.
    I had originally set up the Google accounts to have no default reminders added, so I wouldn't have to deal with the extra email/SMS reminders. I have now added a ten minute reminder to all these accounts as a workaround. Now, when I create events in iCal, the ten minute reminder sticks. I have no real idea how this works, but it's as if when synching, iCal sees that Google Apps has a ten minute reminder as well, and there's no conflict. However, if I change the reminder interval, it just disappears. Also if I add a second reminder, say 40 minutes to remind me to leave to drive somewhere, those simply disappear as well. It seems like the correct behavior would be to pass up whatever reminder is set in iCal to Google Apps - that's not happening.
    This is happening in iCal 5.01, running on OS X 10.7.2. Really frustrating - anyone have any ideas on how to fix or further troubleshoot? Thanks!

    So I got to researching again today, because the utility of calendars is greatly reduced without functioning reminders.
    There's a thread over on Google Groups that started in December about this very issue. There wasn't much helpful info until two days ago when someone posted about types of alerts and support between Google and iCal:
    If you set the default reminder in your google calendar preferences, when you add an event in ical, the default reminder shows up.
    In google I selected "pop-up" for my default reminder type.
    When you look at the type of reminder that is set in ical, if you had selected "pop-up" in google, you'll see ical calls it "message".
    I've always preferred to use the "message with sound" option in ical. So I tried changing my default alarm within ical.
    The reminder/notification/alarm disappeared when I changed it to "message with sound".
    When I added a new reminder that was just a message, it showed up, and didn't instantly dissapear. It also synced with my google calendar as expected.
    I can live without the "boink" sound when my alerts pop up on screen, so long as they're popping up and not disappearing. Hope this helps some, at least until it starts working like it used to.
    I had looked at the type of messages supported, but assumed that "message with sound" would simpy become "message" which is a "popup" to Google. Seems like that would be a more elegant handling of message incompatibility - "translate" the alert to a similar alert type, instead of just dumping it. Lame.
    Anyway - this is good enough. I don't care as much about the sound as simply having reminders again.

  • How do I synch with google calendar?

    I can synch my google calender to my iPhone 5 calender, but I can't get it to work the other way around.  I've tried setting up an Exchange account, a CalDAV account, and my standard Gmail account (that I started with) and none of it changes the problem.  Any advice?

    Sorry
    I asked the wrong question
    I realize if I do it that way I end up with two calendars, mobile me and google. I want the mobile me and google to be one and the same. Is that possible? So when I synch with my phone and mobile me it updates google but not in a separate calendar.
    When I followed the import directions on google I ended up with two calendars on my phone, mobile me and google. I want them to be merged.
    Thanks

  • Ical stopped synching with google

    i either get 2 copies of every event or they don't post to google calendar at all......how do I synch with google calendar since I use ical on my mac?

    Same thing here and it only started happening after installing Mountain Lion. Not sure what changed, but now my iCal will not connect to my google calendar. It's constantly asking for the PW and I know nothing has changed and the PW i've entered is correct.

  • 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,

  • Syncing iPad iPhone iMac with Google Calendar, everything you want to know

    Ok Guys, I just spent the last 4 hours going nuts with experimentations, trials and errors, and I finally think I figured it out, so bear with me here because it's not that simple. And excuse me for the poor english, I'm from Brazil.
    Ok, in the iMac you're gonna set up a CalDAV account with your google login/password. It will work flawlessly and you won't have any problems, it will always update the google calendar and be updated by it. Just remember to use CMD+R to refresh it whenever you want, so you don't have to wait the 15 minutes or whatever you set in preferences.
    Now let's talk iPad and iPhone. First of all, you have 2 options to sync calendars with Google, you can use protocol CalDAV or protocol Exchange.
    Google's setup instructions for CalDAV (both iPhone and iPad) is here: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=151674
    The instructions for both iPhone and iPad for Exchange is here:
    http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740
    (just be sure to select calendar only, cause I'm assuming you're using IMAP or other protocol for mail and contacts).
    The main difference between CalDAV and Exchange is that Exchange supports push updates, wich is instant, while with CalDAV you have to fetch manually (every time you open the calendar app) or another time setting (like 15 min, one hour, etc).
    Well, my experiences revealed that the iPhone and the iPad will sync flawlessly with Google Calendar and the iMac, without any problems, BUT as long as you use Exchange AND Push to update the calendars (CalDAV doesn't support Push, and you need Push so the iPad sync works).
    Let me repeat that: IF and ONLY IF you have BOTH Exchange protocol configured and PUSH enabled iPad and iPhone will sync flawlessly. But many people (me included) dont want to use push because a) it has a battery hit b) they don't need instant updates c) it consumes cellular data when you're not on Wifi, and if you don't have an unlimited plan that's not good.
    So, if you TURN OFF PUSH with Exchange sync, the iPad will stop syncing properly. Curiously, the iPhone will continue syncing properly.
    What I discovered is that, on the iPad, doesn't matter if you use CalDAV or Exchange, the moment you turn OFF push notifications it won't sync manually anymore. And by that I mean that with push off the iPad will not refresh calendar data when you open the calendar app (as it should since push is off and manual fetch is selected).
    To sum it up, I discovred that with push OFF in both the iPad and the iPhone (either with Exchange or CalDAV):
    - The iPhone will update both google calendar and the iMac;
    - The iphone will be updated by both google calendar and the iMac and events created in the iPad;
    - The iPad will NOT be updated when you open the calendar app, so it won't see any changes made either on the iPhone, iPad or Google Calendar, but when you create new events in the iPad you will see the data icon spinning so it will send that event to the other 3, but it will not recieve anything.
    On macrumors forum people discovered that on the iPad, if you open your calendar, close it, change settings from manually fetch to 15 minutes or whatever, it will sync the next time you open your calendar. But it's unreliable (doesn't work every time), not to mention that you won't want to do that every time you need to sync your calendar !
    What about the iPhone ? Well, in my experiences I found out that it doesn't matter if you use Exchange OR CalDAV, it will manually sync with push off every time you open the calendar app. Just a sidenote: the iPhone wasn't manually refreshing with push off as well, just like the iPad, but as soon as I rebooted it started to sync manually every single time and it has been so far. But the iPad didn't sync manually every time even after I rebooted it.
    To end it all, how to know if the calendar is manually syncing with Push OFF ? Well, just open the calendar app and after 5 seconds you should see the data spinning logo right next to the 3G or Wifi icon in the status bar. It must happen EVERY time you open the calendar app (you don't even need to force quit the calendar app for it to happen, it must happen every time you hit home and then open the calendar again). If it's not spinning (recieving data) 5 seconds after you opened the calendar app, it's not manually syncing, so on the iPhone you should reboot and on the iPad there's no fix I found so far (besides the unreliable fix of chaning the fetch time like I said before).
    Oh, I did all these tests with an iPhone 3GS running iOS4 (don't complain it's not 4.2.1, cause the iPhone IS working, the problem is with the iPad), and an iPad running 4.2.1.
    I just hope this thread gets attention because It almost drove me nuts to figure out all these things.
    Cheers,
    Felipe Raul

    An update: I am seeing the CalDAV account sync more frequently than the 15 minute interval I have Fetch set to, sometimes as soon as 5-6 minutes. This is however going in/out of the calendar app multiple times... Every once in a which it will update.
    I've found no pattern as to what triggers the sync. It doesn't seem to matter if I go into another app or not, or whether I close out the calendar app from the task menu. It's just totally random.
    You might say, "what's wrong with just letting it fetch every 15 minutes as it is schedule to do?" Well, most of the time this would be ok, but there are occasionally moments when a decision must be made and an up-to-the-minute current accurate calendar is required for this to happen.
    At this point, I'm going to have to keep my priority/vital calendars syncing via Exchange/push, and use CalDAV/push for the less vital calendars and at least have control over calendar colors with those.
    Also, just wanted to mention that all the above testing has been over a stable wifi connection, rather than 3G or Edge, in case it makes a difference. (I don't think it does.)

  • Palm Pre no longer syncing with Google Calendar

    I've had my Pre for 4-5 weeks, and when I first got it, I configured the calendar to sync with my Google calendar.  Everything worked fine.  At some point, it stopped syncing.  If I add something to the calendar through Google, I don't see it on my Pre and if I add an event on the Pre, it never shows up on Google.  Obviously I tried the sync now option to no avail.  I'm not sure if this happened around the V1.1.0 update or not.  Is anyone else having issues syncing with Google Calendar?
    Thx,
    Brett

    Hello Bartman,
    You may want to try removing and re-adding the gmail account to the Pre.  If this doesn't work, try creating a test gmail account and add it to the Pre.  This will tell you if it is your email account or the Palm Pre.
    Let us know what happens....

  • 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 ?

  • Deleting event in iCal 5.0.1 not syncing with Google Calendar

    When I delete an event from iCal, it does not sync with Google Calendar.  However, when I create an event in iCal, it syncs just fine with Google Calendar. Creating and deleting events from Google Calendar syncs fine with iCal.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    12/13/2011 - call to google tech support
    Recent support call with Google: iCal deleting events still broken.  this is big for us.  We have users that have accounts for and/or subscribe to multiple calendars, and took a while to teach them to use iCal, so web based calendars will be foreign to them (even though I like the web based).  There is no timeline in place according to Google Tech Support.  I feel like the issue is really Apple's issue, so Google is waiting on them to fix, this type of urgency(or lack of) is right up their alley.  Oh well.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on alternate calendar apps for Mac?  Specifically for google calendars?
    "Regarding the issue about not being able to delete Google Calendar events within iCal, as mentioned it is a known issue which unfortunately we don't have a time frame to offer you.

  • 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 do I configure a usable synchronisation with Google calendar

    I think I have tried every permutation of configuration to synchronise Lightning with Google calendar.
    I have Thunderbird 31.1.2 and Lightning 3.3.1
    The GDATA provider has the well documented issue of either re-mailing all meeting attendees, or not sending out invitations to meetings, so this doesn't really work for me.
    I have succeeded in seeing my Google calendar by using the iCalendar(ICS) option, but whenever I add a new calendar event in Lightning I get a "An error occurred when writing to the calendar 'My Name'!
    Error Code : MODIFICATION_FAILED
    When I try using CalDAV I don't see the events in my Google calendar in the resulting calendar in Lightning. I'm not sure I have the right 'Location' parameter, I have multiple Google calendars, the details available on the various web forums are not very explicit about how to get the location when using multiple Google calendars.
    Finally the Post on the Mozilla support forum states that I should use the Google Calendar option, which is not present!
    I am sure this is possible, any help would be appreciated.
    I have now turned on full logging and see the error:
    [JavaScript Error: "[calCachedCalendar] replay action failed: null, uri=https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/{myusername}%40gmail.com/events, result=2147500037, op=[xpconnect wrapped calIOperation]"]
    I think I have solved this one already. Deatails of the correct CalDAV locations can be found here:
    https://blog.mozilla.org/calendar/2013/09/google-is-changing-the-location-url-of-their-caldav-calendars/
    and here:
    https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/caldav/v2/guide#connecting_to_googles_caldav_server
    It would be useful to update the Mozilla documentation accordingly. Can I help do that?

    Caldav works for me.
    I set it according to what is described here:
    https://blog.mozilla.org/calendar/2013/09/google-is-changing-the-location-url-of-their-caldav-calendars/
    Lightning doesn't let me edit a calendar's address once it's been inserted. I have to delete the existing calendar and then add it again.
    What documentation have you found to edit? It seems to me that for years it has relied on a page at google, and that disappeared when they stopped referring to the now defunct stand-alone calendar, Sunbird. I'm not sure there's ever been an authoritative reference owned by Mozilla. Those documents referring to endpoints aren't easy to find.

  • 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.

  • IPhone will no longer sync with Google calendar

    3 days ago my IPhone 4 stopped syncing with Google Calendar. I'm not aware of making any changes. I've done homework & and followed these steps:
    -- Synced with ITunes: not syncing with ICloud; not syncing calendar
    -- redone the Google Mobile setup procedure for my IPhone
    -- limited my IPhone Calendar choices to only Google, i.e nothing checked for "All on my IPhone"
    -- Set the time zone to Houston
    Nothing doing. There are other folks with this problem, but 1 or more of the above worked for them...
    Any ideas? I sure appreciate any help.

    After installing iPhone 3.0 and iTunes 8.2 several weeks ago, my Outlook calendar sync stopped working. I have tried every hint or trick I could find to no avail. The iTunes SW never reports errors, and I cannot determine just where the SW problem exists. I have cleared my iPhone contents and performed a restore/reset from iTunes. I re-installed iTunes several times, including the latest version (8.2.1.6) today, but nothing works. I spoke with an Apple Expert with no success; pleasant and empathetic, but with no troubleshooting skills. He suggested a replacement iPhone, which makes little sense to me.
    I have a colleague at work whose Outlook calendar sync also stopped working after installing the latest SW. Does anyone have insight in this situation?
