iCal not connecting to Google Calendar - HTTP 404 error

Hi there


I've just bought my first Mac, and I'm running Mountain Lion, just updated to 10.8.1. When I set the system up, I fed in the details of my Google account, and it merrily put my Gmail into the Mail app, and Notes also syncs. But, the Calendar app is giving me continual problems, with this same error message:


"Your calendar couldn't be refreshed.


The URL https://calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/richwilliamson@gmail.com/user///calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/richwilliamson@gmail.com/user/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct."


I've tried deleting and re-adding the Google calendar; the whole Google account; the iCloud account (because various fourms seem to think this is an issue) and none of it has helped. Any suggestions?


Thanks

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

Same for me Munas, so the issue is on Google's side. The solution (for me) is this:


Go tohttps://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect


Make sure ALL calendars are selected. Even if you don't want them in iCal. There seems to be a conflict between Google and iCal, in the way iCal does 'delegates'. Google changed this behavior recently, which is why we are getting 404 errors.

I tried to:

- remove and re-add accounts

- unselect delegates

- check all the calendars on https://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect even I do not need some

- remove subscribed calendars

- remove keychan Calendar entries

- clear calendar chashe


as single actions as well as combinations of these - no help. Sooner or later the 404 comes back. It even comes for the Google calendars that have no delegates at all.
