Multiple calendars with Google Calendar, iCal and iPhone

I did much research, and suffice it to say that the information on this subject is difficult to trace. Companies buy you their software for this appear to have a good grip on Google search results. Finally, I have developed a free solution to get all my calendars to sync, wireless for free-with CalDAV not ActiveSync. I prefer to keep my iPhone Exchange ActiveSync configuration to my work day. Do not forget that the portion of the iPhone will work only if you are using iPhone OS 3.0.
Follow the instructions. This works for Google Apps and Gmail. Publish a comment if you have a question.

Your calendars Google (gCals) must be prepared to feed all the rest. They are the source of data. If you have any in iCal now, then this:

Now, it may seem counter-intuitive, but you will delete all your calendars to iCal. This is why we have a backup just in case. You should have a Tabula Rasa. We will add now each gCal calendar in iCal one at a time as a separate account.

Go to iCal > Preferences, click the tab of accounts .Click the plus sign over to add a new account.Put the name of the calendar, your user name (email address Gmail or your Google Apps email address) and your password.The URL for the account is

https://www.Google.com/calendar/DAV/you@Gmail.com/user

…to your main calendar. For all other calendars, there:

https://www.Google.com/calendar/DAV/CALENDARID/user

When CALENDARID is the funky ID found in the settings for each calendar. Return gCal, click the calendar you add (assuming that this is not the first, primary, then copy and paste the ID at the bottom.) It will be a mess truncated, but it is important. Ultimately, your votre URL URL account will look like

https://www.Google.com/calendar/DAV/labrums.org_h3jjg5dsmkc1geclnnjf0oec28@group.Calendar.Google.com/user
(this is a string when you put it, I just had to break the line, so it fits on this Web site)

Click Add and you're all set. Repeat for each additional calendar using its ID timetable provided by gCal.

At this point, you can just plug in your iPhone, open iTunes, go to the Info tab and to say to synchronize all of your calendars. The gCals should appear in the list. If you prefer to do it manually, continue reading.

This works well, as it does in iCal. Before you begin, an email yourself the account URL you used in the prior step with each individual calendar ID. This way you can just copy and paste (w00t!) the URL of mail on your iPhone in the parameters. It is much easier than their capture everything.

Once you have the added, take a gander in the implementation timetable. You will notice that the colors are defined by gCal so go find those you want. We hope that Google has finally will give us a more granular control of these colors, because I consider that they are rather dull. The good news is that colors are consistent in all three sectors: iCal, iPhone and gCal. It is a great feature.

That is all there is to it. You can add an Exchange account to your iPhone, now since you won't need Google sync anymore. In September 2009 with Snow Leopard, you can add this same Exchange calendar to iCal. At this time, he did there will be that there is nothing to complain about the configuration of the calendar perfect (or I hope). Thank you for reading.
