Hello Betsheva,

We see you need help with connecting your Google Calendar with your Apple Calendar on your MacBook Pro. The Google help website has some useful steps to add their calendar to your Mac system. Start here: Add Google Calendar events to Apple Calendar

1. On your computer, open Apple Calendar.

2. In the top left corner of your screen, click Calendar > Preferences.

3. Click the Accounts tab.

4. On the left side of the Accounts tab, click Add +.

5. Select Google > Continue.

6. To add your Google account information, follow the steps on the screen.

7. On the Accounts tab, use "Refresh Calendars" to choose how often you want Apple Calendar and Google Calendar to sync.

That should help you get this setup the way you'd like. Reply back with any questions.

Take care.
