Googlemail & ICloud

Question

Googlemail & ICloud

Hi all,

I use Googlemail as my calendar/mail provider and access with the Mail.app, Calendar.app and Contact.app respectively.

I noticed yesterday that when my friend sends me calendar invites from his Googlemail account, for some reason the invites are automatically defaulting into my iCloud calendar.

I've checked the 'Default Account' is set to Googlemail on my Mac, iPad and iPhone so I'm at a bit of a loss!

Anyone have a similar issue or know of a fix? This may or may not be relevant but my Googlemail email address is the same as my AppleID (and therefore iCloud) so just throwing that out there!

Thanks

MacBook Pro, iOS 7.1.2

Hi MattFromBolton1,

If your new incoming events are not being placed in the expected calendar, you may want to check to see what your Default Calendar is set for in Calendar on your Mac and iOS devices (unclear if this is what you meant by "Default Account"). You may find the Changing your Default Calendar section of the following article helpful (it is aimed at iCloud, but the steps should be the same for other services):

Hi Brendan. Have checked this on all my devices and all are set to the correct (google) calendar. It's very strange. Any other ideas?
