I don't know why my iCal won't accept my Google password for syncing purposes. I just updated the password last night. It says this: "The password may have entered is incorrect"

We had the same problem: my wife's iCal stopped working with our shared gmail calendar. Tried the suggestions, but still didn't work.

Turned out that Google had stopped access for a 'less secure app': they sent me an email informing me, with a link to allow this access. Did that, and all working fine now.

Greetings Joe,

What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?

Try:

1. Go to iCal > Preferences > Accounts and remove all unneeded accounts especially Gmail / Google.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Go to Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access
4. Use the search bar to locate anything called "calendar.google.com" and then delete it.
5. Go to Keychain Access > Keychain FirstAid > Repair
6. Once complete go to Keychain Access > Quit Keychain Access
7. Restart the computer.
8. Go to iCal > Preferences > Accounts and re-enter your Google account.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

I had the same problem. After changing my Google Password, iCal won't sync with google. I tried the following steps and it worked for me:

iCal -> Preferences -> Accounts -> Select Google and Click on Edit Account -> Select Google again and Click on Details -> Change the password

This worked for me.

MadisonP - thanks!! I was having this problem (was using Google's 2-step verification) and I guess Keychain started to store more than one password, or was associating an old pasword to Calendars.

Thanks joefletch for posting the problem! I have had the same problem for several months now!

Thanks MadisonP! This worked for me!

This didn't work for me! Still suffering!

Thank you so much. I had changed several google passwords. This worked for me. Much appreciated!

I had the same problem - these other suggestions didn't work for me or my Mac downright refused to edit - I suggest you try looking up "application specific password" on-line as I suspect you're using 2-step verification. Specify the app you're interested in and Google will assign a 16-digit password. It's a quick process and it worked for me.

This will solve the problem if you don't have two-step verification set up...Because they changed this setting, the apps no longer run off of your google password.

This will be long, but this is what I did and it worked.

Go to Google icon>My Account > Sign in & Security > Signing in to Google > 2-step verification > Go through these steps (mine stopped at a blank page, when I hit refresh and "ok" it brought me to another page). Here, go to App-Specific passwords > Manage application-specific Passwords > select "calendar" on [Mac/PC] > press "Generate".

Copy this access code (in the yellow section).

Go to iCal > Preferences > Accounts > Add account (I deleted mine, just go to your google account and enter the new password there ) > paste the password here with your google account and click "ok"/Add.

Wait a few minutes and the calendar will re-sync.

Cathy thank you so much. This has been driving me crazy and I tried all the other previous things…finally your post did the trick!
