Attempting to sync my iCal with my Google Calender?

Hi,

I attempted to syn my iCal calender with my Google calender. I looked online for specific instruction which seemed pretty easy. Apparently, it didn't work.

I got directions online on how to do this. After I did as instructed, my iCal icon on the dock jumps up & down intermittently and gives me an error message saying: The server responded with an error. Access to account "Google" is not permitted. The server responded: "HTTP1.1403 Forbidden" to operation CalDAVRefreshDelegateListQueueableOperation. The it gives the choice to "go offline" or "ignore". I have to click on offline to close the window.

I also see at the bottom of the account preferences window it says: The server where this account is located doesn't allow you to see availability.

So the syncing operation didn't work and I don't understand why or how to correct this.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi,

When I set up Google calendars in Calendar they tend to return this error for 24 hours, but work afterwards.

I suggest you 'ignore' the error for a day or so and it may resolve itself. I think this happens becuse Google's servers do not update at the same rate.

Best wishes

Hi John,

Thanks for this info. When the "error" comes up, there are 2 choices (ignore or go offline). When I click ignore, it just brings up the same error message(s) so the only option I have to make it go away is to press "go offline". In other words "ignore" doesn't seem to be an option for me, which I don't understand either.....
