Q: Google Calendars not showing up in iCal

I have just arranged to sync up google calendars with iCal, but for some reason I can see them on the mac, but not when I look at the iPad, even after synching and selecting "all calendars"

Any advice?

    Just for a bit more information, there are a couple of calendars within Google Calendar which are not showing up, I have managed to get the master google calender showing, but not the sub calendars (which are actually the ones I need most to show up)

    I have the same problem. The default Google calendar appears in iCal, but the other calendars do not.

    Thanks for the link, but that only talks about iOS. What about getting more than one calendar from Google to iCal on a MacBook Pro?

    Some very uniformative comments here. I just had to sign in to give the solution to the OP's actuall question.

     

    Go here and select all the calendars you want to sync.

    Here is the weird problem I am having. I have done the sync and followed the steps with the /syncselect link. However, I can get ONLY my sub calendars to appear in iCal and not my default (main) Google calendar.

     

    I've removed the account from my mac, added it again, that didn't work. Then I removed the sub calendars, added those again (through sync select), neither of those worked. I even tried to add it in as a manual calendar using the long URL specific to the calendar with the /user at the end (CalDAV old settings) but that also didn't work.

     

    Anyone else had this issue?

    Most helpful link found was this one:

    https://calendar.google.com/calendar/syncselect

     

    This allowed me to individually select all the different calendars that were offered to my Google account. To be visible in the iOS calendar app, not needing.  Good news is that I didn't need to download the Google calendar app at all.   NOTE:  Use the above link on a desktop rather than your smartphone.

    Hi there,

     

    I have similar situation seeing google calendar appointments on my Mac, and iOS devices.

    If I make an event on icloud calendar i can see it all across every devices but I wanted to share my schedule  with my partner so we decided to make our appointments/events on google calendar but I will view that on my iOS calendar.

     

    so now, I simply edit my event to move it to Google calendar on my iPhone... Done!  then I see the event disappear from my Mac screen.   ***?

    so now I reverse the event back to be under "icloud" account.....  everything is normal again.  

     

    so this time, I edit my event from my Mac calendar screen to go under "google" account. and then the event disappear from my iPhone screen... ***?  so I can only see on one device at a time?  I tried so many ways to fix this problem......      BUT NOW I FOUND MY SOLUTION..

     

    As soon as you move the appointment away from iCloud account, it disappear from the screen straight away.  but Google events/calendar don't work that fast with showing upon Mac or iOS screen so you can't see it for a while.....   THE SOLUTION? believe it or not, is just to referensh your calendar by pressing Control-R or Command-R.     

     

    hope your problem is as simple as mine.
