It seems it only syncs the first google calendar. if you have more than one, it will ignore the others.

Has anyone tried out davical as davcal server. I´ve tried it yesterday it does not seem to load my calendar.

Just to let you know, you can import more than the first google calendar, but you need a new caldav for each google calendar.

1. Expand the “Server Options” section to expose the Account URL setting.
2. For Account URL, specify “https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[Google Calendar ID]/user”. Note that it’s actually “/user” there at the end, not your user name. The Google Calendar ID in brackets is visible in Google Calendar by going to the settings for a calendar and looking toward the bottom of the Calendar Details tab. You’ll see some funky junk like “asdfjklasdfjklasdjklasdjkl@group.calendar.google.com” or similar. That’s the Google Calendar ID.

Hey, cool!

And what’s the procedure for Google Apps calendars?

@rouven:
Thanks for the info on how to set up CalDAV for more than one Google Calendars.

@ Leandro:
It’s the same except for User Name, you specify your Google Apps email address. I am guessing you have your own domain for Google Apps, assuming it is called xyz.com, so the User Name that you should use is username@xyz.com.

I’m so glad that they rolled this out finally. Yes, there was the Google Sync tool, but this uses the one allowed Activesync connection, and like many users, I already have that one pushing out my work email and calendar. Thanks!

@ rouven – where is the “server options” section? Do you mean Advanced Settings/ Account URL ?

@tastic:
Yes, it is in the Advanced Settings called Account URL.

@ktula – Thanks. I am missing something, I cant get it to work at the moment. Crap.

@tastic:
What are you trying to achieve? Add a second Google Calendar?

Yes, trying to sync a secondary calendar.

@tastic:

You need to add a new CalDAV account for your second calendar. Are you trying to change your only CalDAV calendar?

I am having same problem. I am trying to add a second google calendar using caldav. I changed the calendar url and it still isn’t showing up in my calendar list on the iphone. any ideas?

As rouven suggested, it’s certainly possible to add multiple CalDAV calendars, but the interface isn’t very intuitive. When adding a new calendar, instead of typing “www.google.com” into the server field you can paste “https://www.google.com/calendar/dav//user” instead. You’ll find your in the calendar settings page of Google Calendar (it looks like an email address). I’ve written up a full set of instructions here: http://www.atnan.com/2009/6/19/configuring-multiple-caldav-google-calendars-on-iphone-os-3-0

Hmm…looks like the comments system removed some parts of my comment. That URL should have been “https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/CALENDAR_ID/user”, where CALENDAR_ID can be found in the calendar settings page of Google Calendar.

im confused maybe someone can help..

whats the difference between doing this method, and setting up the calendar as an exchange connection on the iphone which is what im doing now with my google apps domain?

@dan:

Sorry, i am not familiar with setting up iPhone with MS exchange.

@ktula the setup is exactly the same as this caldav method except you choose “exchange” instead of “other” during the setup.

I just don’t know what the difference is between the two types of connections and if there are any benefits over eachother

So, first thanks for everyone who contributed to this thread so far. I discovered something pretty cool when trying a short cut for the instructions that I’d like to share. Since the URL address is so long, I copied it and emailed it to myself in order to paste into CALdav. However, when I touched the URL address on my iPhone, I got a prompt asking if I wanted to subscribe. I accepted –had to answer this prompt twice, and then got a message saying the account was added and I could hit view events or done. I clicked view events and my second calendar was there. Very psyched. When I go to Calendars, I can choose which calendars to view or All Calendars.
This seemed to circumnavigate the whole set up process… Works with Google Calendars and the URL found at the bottom of each calendar.

@Cara: Thanks for the great tip!

So there’s not actually a way to sync your local iPhone cal with the online google one so that they are the same, rather than having the two of them both available but separate on your phone?

@Paulb: If the only calendar on your iPhone is the Google CalDAV calendar, then you will only have one calendar on your iPhone.

dan – I suspect that Exchange is a better method than CalDAV. I think it allows multiple calendars just fine, etc. HOWEVER, Only one Exchange sync is allowed, so if you are a corporate Exchange sync’er for email, you must use CalDAV to sync to google calendar.

Cara – the first time I tried that, it asked me to log in, but I think I had a typo. Now every URL like that I try gives me “Method Not Allowed”.

Great writeup!

Just noticed that visiting this link https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect will let you enable of syncing several caldav calendars using only one caldav account on the iphone

@torg: Your post is quite old but was just the solution for my missing calendar after long googeling…
Thx a lot!
