So, you have several different Google Calendars, but have only managed to sync the primary one with your iPhone and iPad. Not to worry. Though it’s not the most intuitive system, by following these instructions you’ll be up and running in no time.
Here’s how to get all of your Google calendars working on your iPhone or iPad:
- First, lets make sure your Calendar is properly synced, and the process is the same on both devices.
- Go to Settings, then open Mail/Contacts/Calendars.
- Next, select Add Account and Gmail.
- If however, you have already added your Gmail account, then instead of Add Account, choose Gmail from the account list. From here, toggle the Calendar switch to On.
- Otherwise, add your Google account information and a description of the calendar, and ensure that the Calendar option is switched on. Syncing will begin when you next open the Calendar app on your iPhone or iPad.
Next you must choose which calendars to sync:
- To do this, you need to visit the following Google website: www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect
- Provided you’re signed into your Google account, on this page you’ll see a list of all your calendars, with a check box against them.
- Tick the boxes of the calendars you want to sync with the iPhone and iPad, then click save.
Once again, open the Calendars app and wait for it to sync. That’s it, all your calendars should be ready and waiting for you.
Please, help me!!! Something has changed on my iPhone. (I think it happend, when the new iOS 6.0.1 arrived.)
I see multiple calendars (other people’s calendars). This always worked.
But now, I get alarms from every calendar, not just from mine.
This is very annoying!! (When you get a ring sunday at 6 am, just because your father goes to ski.)
I need only the alarms of mine calendar!
I think, I have to find another calendar app for iPhone, if it stays like this.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks?
Ah thank you for this tutorial! I’ve been trying to get this figured out for the past month!
However, I followed all of the steps and made sure everything that should be checked is and I still don’t see any events in my calendar, not even my own…
Any ideas?
Okay I got my own events to show up and have the “Shared” calendars that I want to see on my phone checked from the https://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect link but still not seeing my co-workers shared calendars on my phone
Nevermind, looks like it just took awhile to show up! Thank you so much for this tutorial :)
Thank you so much. I have been trying to figure this out for months!
