Problem #2: The second line is more problematic: "Google Apps users can go to ". The good news is that Google no longer has you set different calendars for different devices, which you might remember if you have used Google Calendar with iOS devices in the past. In fact, when you go to that page, at the very top it says: "Select calendars to sync to your iPhone/iPad/iCal*" and at the bottom of the page "* or any other CalDAV device." So it doesn't matter which browser you use. Problem #1: Although the first line says, "Visit the following page from your device's mobile browser: ", you don't need to visit it in your device's mobile browser. The seemingly superfluous JavaScript and peculiar formatting are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the problems. The selected calendars will be displayed on your device at the time of the next sync.
Select the calendars you'd like to sync, then click Save. Visit the following page from your device's mobile browser: "thing" that you have to click on to reveal the following: (begin quote) The next section is titled "Sync Multiple Calendars" and is hidden, for some reason, behind a collapsed JavaScript. If you have additional calendars you'd like to sync, follow the instructions below." At the top of the page are the basic steps on iOS for creating a new account in iOS 7, but the crucial piece of information comes at the very bottom of the page: "By default, only your primary calendar will be synced with your device. "Sync Google Calendar with your iOS device" appears to be Google's most up-to-date instructions for setting this up, although it's hard to tell because there's no "as of" or "last updated" date anywhere on the page. (Spoiler alert: I've already given away the ending.) Even Google can't keep the instructions straightįor as long as I can remember, Google Calendar on iPad or iPhone/iPod touch devices has had this annoying "quirk" - if you have more than one calendar, you have to go to a web page on Google's site and "enable" each calendars you want to use on each iOS device. The biggest enemy that you will have in getting this to work is previous experience with syncing Google and iOS devices, especially because Google has been fairly sloppy with its instructions, all of which led me on a not-very-fun technological wild goose chase tonight.įor more on those details, and what to watch out for, keep reading. The process of enabling CalDAV support for your calendars is something like that.) (If you use Gmail over IMAP you may have gone through the process of choosing which labels appear as IMAP folders. Within your calendar app (on the Mac or on iOS) you can always choose which calendar(s) to show, but when dealing with Google calendar, your other calendars will only appear if they have been enabled. If you have been trying to get your Google Calendar to sync to your iOS device(s) or your Mac, but can't get all of your Google calendars to show up, I may have the answer: Unless you have a paid Google Apps account, use to select which calendars you want to sync via CalDAV.
