iCal says google calendar server not secure

Thank you Sky,

I've been trying for days and going crazy about that "a secure connection could not be established".

Now it works!

Cheers from Italy

You are my hero. I have been stressing about this and getting really mad. Thank you for taking the time to post this.

Big sigh and a big small.

It worked perfectly!!!

THANK YOU!!!!

I just lost all of the info (including my regular backups) from my laptop, and this was just another thing that I was struggling with.

Your fix was quick and easy and I can't tell you how important that feels right now.

Thanks again!!

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! <3

Thank you!!!

Hello-

Unfortunately I am still having problem of getting this done correctly. I have tried all options written here in the posts- changing the username without the mail ending, changing the path from googlemail to just gmail, and still I receive an error notification saying- "unable to verify account name or password". I made sure I have the username and password correct, and still this note appears.

I did the procedures to sync on my iPhone and it work excellent so I am puzzled.

Can you advise?

Thank you

I got it to work with these settings:

1. Go to the System settings/Internet accounts and create a new account.

2. Select "Add CalDAV Account".

3. Select "Account Type" as advanced.

4. Enter your username and password. (i used the full Gmail-address)

5. Enter "Server Address " as calendar.google.com

6. Enter "Server Path" /calendar/dav/user%40gmail.com/user

7. Select "Use SSL" and port should be 443.

Hope this works for you, too
