Syncing multiple Google calendars with iPhone 4

By Surferbill - Last updated: Friday, June 25, 2010

From http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=48e89dc25dc4ffe4&hl=en:

Go to this website and select the calendars you want to display on your iPhone:

https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect and making sure you select all your calendars from that page, and this appears to work from any browser, not just Safari on your iPhone.

Once that is done, go into your iPhone settings< Mail, Contacts, Calendars

You will need to pull up your main Google gmail account—the one that lets you select email, calendars, notes and turn calendars ON.

Go into your iPhone calendar and click on the calendars you want to display. The calendars should come across color-coded the same as you have them set up in Google Calendars—if you don’t like the colors, change them in Google Calendars. If you change them after you have turned ON calendars in your account settings, you will have to turn calendars off and then back on to update your iPhone calendar colors.

Google doesn’t allow US Holidays to sync with iPhone. If you want US Holidays on your iPhone calendar, then follow this:

Go into Settings on your iPhone.Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars Scroll down and tap Add Account… Tap Other Tap Add Subscribed Calendar

In the server field, input: ical.mac.com/ical/US32Holidays.ics – then tap Next On the next screen, change the name of the calendar under “Description” if you choose – then tap Save

After all of that, go into your iPhone Calendar and click on US Holidays Calendar or any other calendar you have imported to be added to your iPhone calendar.

That’s it!

A colleague saw the GTD wallpaper on my PC and asked what it all meant. I told him a bit about GTD and sent him the below links. I thought it might be worthwhile posting here too.

Wikipedia (quick overview):

Saw this at the hospital. Are there any limits to where phone companies will advertise? ;-)
