Syncing subscribed google calendars

I was able to get it working...totally by accident.

Log into your google calendar account on your computer (not your iPad). Go to https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect. It should list all your calendars under Sync Settings. Check those you want on your iPad and save. Create your calendar account on your iPad, or just use the one you already made. Open the calendar. The word Calendars should appear in the top left. Tap on it and all your calendars should be there waiting to be checked. Check the ones you want. It took a few seconds for the sync to start but then all my calendars appeared..

Hope it works for you too. Good luck!!

I'm experiencing same thing. Went to m.google.com/sync and tried to sync all my cals like I do for iPhone. Doesn't look like option is available yet for iPad. iPhone allows up to 25 cals to sync but iPad only shows 1. Hopefully and option down the road....SOON. This is major inconvenience for me.

Same here. I was able to goto the site you listed and select the calendars but they did not sync. I even tried deleting the account under the mail settings and re-create it but that did not fix the issue either.

The google sync site only let's you sync the main calendar. It shows the others but you cannot check them. If anyone else has a fix please let us know!!

I just used the method that jifka stated by setting it up as a CalDev calendar instead of Exchange and it seems to work ok except like you said it will not sync calendars such as the US Holidays and Sports team schedules.

I guess this will have to do until Google/Apple gets it fixed.

I had the same problems as everyone here and used a mixture of everyone's solution.

I first added my own calendar through microsoft exchange, following the instructions listed in the link in this thread.

Then for the second calendar I needed to add (my wife's) I added it through CalDAV which is listed under the "OTHER" tab when it asks what kind of account you're adding (gmail, exchange, yahoo, etc)

Seems unecessarily complicated but it worked. Hope this helps. I have very little tech savvy so I was just glad these posts helped talk me through it. Thanks! Everyone enjoy your iPad. I am

Great feedback above. I followed this and it all seemed to work.

To summarize the steps.....

Step 1 - Setup Google Calendar

Step 3 - Pick the calendars to sync :

http://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect

I had the same issue with my Google Apps for my Domain account. It appears the URL http://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect does not take into account for GFYD as the calendars that were shared with my were not listed on that site.

This was resolved by
1) Goto http://m.google.com on my iPhone
2) Enter my domain
3) Select "Sync"
4) Find that iPad is listed as an option
5) Enable calendars
6) Save

I too am having the same problem. Only my default calendar is viewable in the iPad Calendar app. Bug??

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately this did not solve the problem for me despite following your directions to the T. Any other thoughts?

Mine are working fine. Did you use these instructions from Google?

Well, I was able to add my calendars through CalDAV as well. I hope Apple/Google comes up a fix to access through Exchange.

I am having the same issues with exchange. It works with CalDAV though, but it's not the best solution. I hope there soon will be a solution to this... .

I use SaiSuke on my iPhone for calendars. I hope I can use it on the iPad as well.
