Can iCal Sync with Google?

[Mark Morb]

As per Header.

I use Google at the moment to handle all my Mail, Calendar and Documents online. How much compatibility is there with any of the mac Calendar/Mail utilities?

Thanks,
Mark Morb

Extremely compatible...

1) Bottom Image - Click the ARROW adjacent the Calendar (I like to match colors with iCal) SELECT 'Calendar Settings'

2) Yellow Image - SCROLL DOWN and click the ICAL BUTTON under Private

3) Adjacent Image - COPY this URL and head to iCal Application

4) RIGHT CLICK (CTRL+CLICK) where the calendars appear

5) Subscribe Image - SELECT 'Subscriptions' and PASTE the URL and PRESS OK

6) Calendar will appear in the left Pane and you may change color and rename

7) RIGHT+CLICK on the Calendar Subscription and SELECT 'Get Info' this will allow to select how often iCal syncs with Google Calendar

you can read but not edit like that, unfortunately

If you want two way sync, try "Spanning Sync" or BusyMac's "BusySync" (to be released in a few weeks...). BusySync is less expensive (one time fee) and has great support so I'll get that when the Google sync-ing version is out, but I've used Spanning Sync as well and it works really, really well.

You can also access gmail through the mail app, either by pop or imap (which keeps everything on the server). Instructions are available lots of places.

Thanks for the replies. Shame the Calendar cannot Sync without the use of Third Party Software....I'll use it in read only for now.

Thanks again.
