Christopher S. Penn's Awaken Your Superhero: Power Calendaring with iCal, Google Calendar, and Sync

  • C.C. Chapman · 1 year ago
    A killer post Chris. Thanks for writing it.

    Have you ever seen items you add directly to Google Calendar (especially when they are invites from other people) NOT syncing up to iCal using Spanning Sync? I've been having this problem a lot lately and can't figure out why and wasn't sure if I was along.

    Wow I woke up this morning wondering ow to synch my ical with my google calendar and there you are! Fabulous. Thanks So much Chris.

    @CC - never had that happen, but occasionally, it's probably not a bad idea to do this "hard reset" every so often.

    You can also subscribe to your gcal in iCal. I put all events into gcal and let it sync up with iCal through subscription and then load it onto my iPhone.

    I've got a few more cogs in my system - because my media server is still windows based (and right now isn't internetting on a local network with my mac b/c of difficulties with my router) so I need to use outlook to pull my calendar down from gcal to itunes to my ipod... but the mac side of the system runs nicely (at least until my 15day trial of spanning sync runs out and I have to decide if it really is as useful as I want it to be)

    Dear Christopher, Thanks for the great advice. I am going to back my calendar up twice before deleting everything but am ready to do this tomorrow.
