calendar has quit syncing with google calendar

I've noticed recently that events entered in calendars are not syncing with each other. I have entered events on iMac Calendar program on desktop, into google calendar online from desktop and the google calendar on GalaxyS4. Any thoughts?

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Back up all databefore making any changes.

Step 1

From the Calendar menu bar, select

Calendar ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts

Choose the affected account from the list on the left and uncheck the box marked

Enable this account

Then check the box again. Test.

Step 2

Make a note of the account settings, then delete the account and add it back with the same settings.

Step 3

If you can't add the account, the settings may be invalid. Verify them. How you do that depends on what kind of account it is. If it's a Google calendar and you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password.

Step 4

Quit Calendar. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache


Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal

from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.

Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.

*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard ( command-C). In the Finder, select

Go Go to Folder...

from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Step 5
