Error when attempting to delete an Ical entry "The URL https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/bob@qwartapadala.com/user/ encountered HTTP error 302. Make sure the URL is correct"

I have my iCal synced to my office gcal. If i use the gcal to create and maintain the entries, they all show up in ical. But if i try to manage my meetings from Ical, the meetings are created correctly and show in my gcal. But if i try to change or delete from Ical i get the error "The URL https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/bob@qwartapadala.com/user///www.google.com/calendar/dav/bob@qwartapadala.com/user/ encountered HTTP error 302. Make sure the URL is correc". Any ideas?

Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Same problem here.

I can create a new event in iCal and it will push to google, to icloud -> to my iphone 4S, but I cannot delete an event without receiving the same error. I can successfully delete an event from either the iphone 4S or Google and it pushes that deletion to everything. But iCal cannot do this without throwing up the error. As soon as that error goes up, the "delete" command is lost in cyberspace and the event still resides on Google and iPhone.


The URL brought up in the error code is something iCal used to have a field for before Lion. That field is gone in Lion, and there's nowhere to correct/paste that URL.


I need this to work.


I also have another problem. I'm set up to push multiple iCal calendars to google, iCloud -> iPhone. It's great! Problem is when a new event is created in iCal, iCal creates it in the default calendar (set in iCal prefs) and calls it "new event". I then edit the "new event", giving it a name and assigning it to the appropriate calendar.


The problem is if iCal is online, it pushes TWO events to google. It pushes the initial, unnamed "new event" event, and then it pushes the edited "new event", reflecting the name change and calendar assignment. This is not repeatable on iPhone or Google and appears to be a bug in iCal.


Before Lion, I didn't have these problems. iCal has fewer features and less accessibility in Lion vs Snow Leopard, and I'm surprised it's this buggy months after release.

Without the iCal delete command working properly, and with the iCal "create" command being buggy when using multiple calendars (sending up two events when user is creating one), I don't have much choice except to choose google over iCal as the "master" desktop calendar and iCal merely as a slave calendar to look at, but not edit.


I prefer to use iCal and iPhone with Google as middleman, but google calendar is less buggy, more powerful and more intuitive than iCal at this point.

Hello all who have replied to this stream. After talking with Google Support it is confirmed that this is a known issue at Google Gcal. This occured when Apple introduced iCloud. Several calendars suffered a deletion of all meetings from gcal. Google is working with Apple to resolve the issue. Until the issue is resolved you will continue to get the 308 error. My thought is that it will probably take a couple of weeks to resolve this, so until then my Gcal will be the "master".


Again, thanks for all your replies and I hope this information helps you.
