thanks lewoo!!!!

Oh, man I only read that coment after having gone through the trouble of all that above. Maybe lewoo’s coment should be moved to the top.

But at least for the future I have everything figured out now for the future and can add more kalendars.

I also used heaps of the info above thanks everyone. This bit made the difference for me. It’s on google’s for ADDITIONAL CALENDARS:

From: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=151674

“By default only your primary calendar will be synced to your device. You can sync additional calendars by visiting one of the following pages from any browser (via desktop or mobile device):

* For non-Google Apps users: https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect
* For Google Apps users: https://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/YOUR DOMAIN NAME/iphoneselect

Select the calendars you’d like to sync, and click Save. The selected calendars will display on your device at the time of the next sync.”

…saved me a lot of time instead of typing in all the calendar names on my iphone.

Thank you so much for posting this. I couldn’t find any of this info on Google’s site nor Apple’s site.

Want to know how to REALLY get Google Calendar to work on iPhone? Use nuevasync.com. Creates a free exchange server for GCal. All calenders and events, including colour choices, will sync to iPhone. Updates appear immediately on iPhone when added on web version.

I tried doing the CalDAV setup several times and for some reason I still could not get my shared/group calendar to work.

I found this article on google (http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252) which uses google sync for the iphone and sets up the account as an exchange server. This seems to be a very viable option for my calendar setup and I thought I’d share it with you guys. The only problem I see is that you can only have a maximum of five calenders.

Also, after you setup the exchange server don’t forget to go to m.google.com on your iphone and choose which calendars you want to sync – initially it will only show you your main one.

@Linda:
What subscription calendar are you having problem with? iCal (aka MobileMe)’s calendar or Google Calendar?

I set this up last night after I downloaded 3.0 and have had no trouble. I have been using calDav on my iMac for some time know and have not had any trouble. I basically have all three calendars working properly. Before calDav support on the iPhone was using exchange with success as well but that only supported a max of 5 calendars.

I have yet to be prompted for a password on any of the calendars which had all been created under my main google account. Is that the difference? I have one for each member of my family as well as a Birthday & Anniversary calendar. My only problem is adding a subscribed calendar.

@Jordan – I have the same issue, but only for one of my calendars. If you find a solution/fix, please update here! I hate being prompted all the time, so I’ve just shut off that specific calendar for now.

I think something is wrong with googles cal dav system. Mine is also prompting me for my password endlessly.
