Sync Your iPhone With Google Calendar
If you're like us, you use Google Calendar to share work appointments and collaborate on scheduling meetings. It's a simple and nice alternative to Outlook calendar and it's accessible virtually anywhere. If you're still like us, you also have a new iPhone and you wanted all those Google Calendar appointments on your new device. The process is simple and painless, at least for Mac users with iCal.
Then, find the Private Address section and click on the ICAL icon. This will generate a URL for your calendar.
Open up iCal and go to Calendar -> Subscribe. Paste the URL from the Google calendar here.
Once your iCal is subscribed, your next iPhone sync will dump all your Google calendar events right in.
Done! The best part is you only need to do this once -- iCal will grab new appointments at your specified intervals and your next sync will be up to date.
First, go to your Google Calendar and find the "Calendar Settings" drop-menu. Click on that and go to "Calendar Settings."
Then, find the Private Address section and click on the ICAL icon. This will generate a URL for your calendar.
Open up iCal and go to Calendar -> Subscribe. Paste the URL from the Google calendar here.
Once your iCal is subscribed, your next iPhone sync will dump all your Google calendar events right in.
Done! The best part is you only need to do this once -- iCal will grab new appointments at your specified intervals and your next sync will be up to date.

Arnaud - did they ever say any different?? They did say "follow the instructions".

When the iPhone 2.0 firmware is released, you'll be able to use its 'Exchange Sync' feature to achieve two-way over-the-air calendar and contact sync with Google using Nuevasync : http://www.nuevasync.com. This works because the Nuevasync server emulates an Exchange server as far as the iPhone is concerned. No software to install on the device, just configure its Exchange sync client with the correct host name, username and password.

it'd be nice if neuvasync handled multiple calendars...

Thanks. This is great.

So: why can't I subscribe to my Google Calendar from within my MobileMe account?
elrjJul 31st 2008 12:33PM
This all seems simple enough, but when I'm in iCal and I click subscribe, it thinks for a bit and pops up a second window with calendar name and options. When I try to click OK on this window, nothing happens: I can neither OK it or cancel it and I have to quit the program (although technically it is fine and still responding).
I've checked for updates, but it should be good to go. Should I uninstall and reinstall iCal? Why is it doing this to me?

You can use www.nuevasync.com to use the new Microsoft exchange Push functionality of the iPhone to sync wirelessly all contacts via Plaxo. Also, if you use Plaxo to sync your multiple calenders to your google calendar then nuevasync can pull the google calendar to your iPhone too. This was great for me since I couldn't find any solution to migrating my Outlook 2003/Windows 2000 stuff to my iPhone. Now I wirelessly receive my contacts and calendar on my iPhone! No great solution yet for putting songs onto the iPhone 2.0 yet though.

I definitely would recommend Spanning Sync for 2-way synchronization, and with the new Spanning Sync Beta 2.0 you get contact synchronization. You can read more about my thoughts on Spanning Sync on my site at: http://www.sync-my-calendar.com/spanning-sync.html

the new spanning sync 2 really does a great job with syncing. check out Christine's review of why she thinks it rocks for more info :

@SyncMyCalendar, perhaps a disclaimer is in order? You are apparently getting paid to promote this product.

Wow this was a really informative write-up, a little bit outdated though since it was from 2007. I found a more recent write-up concerning this over from the guys at groovypost. Here's the link http://www.groovypost.com/howto/apple/sync-iphone-or-ipod-touch-calendar-and-contacts-with-google/

Note that this only gets events moving one-way: from Google Calendar to your iPhone. If you change or create events on your iPhone, they won't show up in Google Calendar. For that, you'll need something that does bidirectional synchronization, like Spanning Sync (spanningsync.com).
Cheers,
Charlie

How about with Google Calender for WINDOWS?
bbNov 29th 2008 4:56PM
There is a beta "perfect" solution!
This is called NuevaSync
www.nuevasync.com
You register an account, and follows instructions given there, it's still beta but calendar sync works perfectly, and since I only sync calendar with it, there is no mess at all! You should do the same, I recommend it rightfully...

WINDOWS USERS -
Grab the html instead of the iCal link when following the the instructions above. Email the link to an account you've registered with your iPhone. Once your phone picks up that email, click on the link and add it to your favorites. You'll need to be able to access the web to view your Google calendar, but that hasn't been a problem for me.

Anyone try this with Outlook having Google cal subscriptions and the synch capability (on Windows)?
