Update (Feb. 13, 2009): To sync multiple calendars, go to m.google.com/sync on your iPod touch/iPhone and select additional calendars to sync.
Last September, I posted How to: Sync Google Calendar with iPod touch/iPhone in which I explained how to use the free NuevaSync service to sync Google Calendars (and contacts) with your iDevice. That post has gone on to become the most searched/visited/read story of any post (besides my 2009 Inauguration coverage) on Boilr in the last 4 months.
As such, it seemed only fitting that I post an update in lieu of Google’s announcement earlier this morning. Now, instead of using a third party solution, you can simply use the official Google Sync app to sync your Google Calendars and Contacts with your iPod touch / iPhone (or any of the other supported mobile platforms). Cheers!
Seems to me like this is only for the iphone, no?
My mistake. Sometimes can be difficult to tell whether “iPhone” = “iPhone and iPod Touch” or just “iPhone”. This works perfectly on my ipod touch. thanks!
This thing is absolutely awesome. Works perfectly on ipod touch (im using 2g), and im sure it will work on the older ones. You need to have your ipod at version 2.2 for it to work. Now all my contacts and calender items are synced when i walk through my door
Love it!
seems as if it does not work for ipod touch with os 3.0 yet…
@Ulrich: for what it’s worth, i’ve got 3.0 and its still working fine for me. make sure you are not syncing thru iTunes AND this method, as that will cause issues.
I have tried this all ways! The ipod touch only syncs with one calendar – yet going to the url shows they’re all ticked. It is not synced in itunes, just on the touch. Is it a deliberate limitation to make on us mobileme?
Mille grazie! I’ve needed a quality mobile calendar for years. I finally have an itouch so thank you very much for simplifying my life. All of my calendars are working. Perhaps some users are not catching on how to add additional calendars?
I have an iTouch and I cannot get this to work. Do I have to have an echange server or how can I get around that?
If you want to see ALL YOUR GOOGLE CALENDARS with the same COLORS you already have for them, just download “SaiSuke” app. It’s just a calendar wich sync your gmail account, ipod/iphone calendar and SaiSuke calendar.
Very easy to use, i recomend it.
I can’t get this to work on my iPod touch….. what are the steps to follow to sync the calendar?
