Never mind. Just found I forgot to turn Google Cal on in the iCal Calendars section. Still doesn’t synch from iCal to Google which is what I need.

Just tried and it doesn’t work. iCal doens’t show up in Google Calendar and Google Calendar doesn’t show up in iCal although the Google alarm did go off on iCal??

Followed the “simple” steps and it does not work. None of my iCal events show up in my Google calendar.

I followed the steps, the setup went fine accepted my credentials but the data from iCal is not syncing to google calendar. Any suggestions?

I am using ical on Mac, ipad, iphone and icloud, however to schedule work to colleagues, I want to use a common platform like google calendars. I want each person to be able to view a single calendar, add to it, so we all know what we are up to and where we are. They are using blackberry and pc’s, so icloud is not an option really – can you suggest if this will work for google / ical?

Hi,

does this also work in the direction ical to google calendar, e.g. so far I used only ical.

Thanks

“If you use Google Calendar, why not sync it to your Mac?”

Because of Google Calendar’s incomplete support for CalDAV and not mapping event fields one-to-one, dropping of multiple alarms “just because” and randomly, not mapping dependent calendars the same way iCal does, occasional and random server timeouts, not mapping calendar colors…

Google Calendar kind of sucks, and I pay for a Premier Apps account – and I’m looking to port out soon…
