Several times when I try to pull google calendar data into iCal I get
this error:
Request Error
Authentication of account "Google:[my name]" failed. Please check your
login and password information.
But it is all correct. If I keep clicking OK then a lot of the time
it will go through after a while. But sometimes it won't and I have
to Force Quit iCal.

I to am experiencing this problem. This may require us to to provide
more information.
Mac OS X 10.5.5
iCal 3.0.5
Similar experience, was working fine for months, then a few weeks ago
it started putting this error up. I removed my Account from the
preferences and tried Calaboration, though it does add the calender I
still have this issue.
Strangely thought some days it will be fine and others the error is
repeated every few minutes.
I currently need a few updates (Safari and Quicktime) but I don't
think those will affect this issue, I'm going to run the updates and
reboot to see if it helps at all.
If I have any other insights I'll put up another post.

I also receive this error from I call. I'm syncing 4 calenders from
google at once. Some make the sync and some give the "Authentication
of account failed" message. I installed sync with Calaboration 1
day ago on december 2nd 2008.
Versions...
* Mac OS X 10.5.5
* iCal Version 3.0.5 (1270)
* Calaboration downloaded and installed 2 Dec, 2008.
Can you help? I've disabled the syncing (offline) and the pop up
errors stopped.

Also having this problem. I originally had set this up months ago and
figuring the new "official" release changed something, deleted all my
old calendars, downloaded calaboration and set them all back up.
It worked during setup, but on the next sync I was prompted for my
password. :-(

I had it set up a few days before the release of Calaboration, but
then started having these problems. I deleted the account I had
manually setup, downloaded Calaboration, and had it set up two
calendars for me. The error persisted.
It looks like both people who had set up CalDAV manually, and those
who have only used Calaboration are having these issues. Since they
seem to be intermittent, perhaps it is a scaling issue with the wider
audience using Calaboration.

I'm also having this problem, but only since using calabration to set
up iCal syncing. My wife and I are both having this problem.
I have a PowerMac G5 and my wife has a macbook. We're both running
os
X 10.5.5 and iCal 3.0.5 (1270).
the error we get is:
"Authentication of account <account name> failed. Please check your
login and password information."
It comes up every couple of minutes- it's very annoying. There's no
way to save your password, so I have to type it in over and over and
over- every time it fails.
Is there a way to increase the length of time or amount of times that
it tries to log in after receiving a failure? Perhaps a plist
settings change I can make?

Throwing more fuel on the fire. I have been having this problem with
my calendars (through google apps) before collaboration as well --
expected collaboration to fix it -- was disappointed.
Recently I changed ISPs at home. Previous ISP did not require
authentication on DSL, current one uses PPPoE. (Sounds irrelavent,
eh) When I first logged on, I was getting the authentication error
(from iCal) for all but one calendar, every time they saynk (past
tense of 'sync'?). Eventually I turned my MTU down, and the problem
has been reduced to 1 calendar, 1 out of three times.
I know this may seem like useless data, but my educated guess is that
there is some expectation on Google's side that the full
authentication handshake should happen within a certain amount of
time; and that if it doesn't, (due to, say, the network congestion
from other calendars getting checkd at the same time) that it will
fail the authentication.
Why might MTU be involved? By causing more segmented packets during
the first portion of authentication handshaking, the expectation for a
speedy completion is somewhat ameliorated, and the delays placed on
the connection by other calendars interleave more seamlessly.
Just a thought, and probably not a very good one, either.

We (my work group) are also having this problem. Because we have 9
calendars that we share, this problem was continuous on my MacBook
Pro. Initially, I set the calendars to refresh every 5 minutes. I
thought that the problem might be related to all of them refreshing at
the same time. I then set them to different times to see if that would
help - it did not. I tried setting them to refresh "Manually" on all
but my main calendar just to reduce the problem. Now it's there, but
just less frequent. We are seeing the problem on OS 10.5 computers
using Apple's iCal.

I have been having this exact same problem. It only started recently,
so I suspect there was some change on google or apples end.
One thing that drives me nuts, it brings up the window with my
username, but no password. When I type my password in it seems to go
through just fine until 20 minutes later when it pops up again.
I was so enjoying using the functionality over the summer, sad that it
is broken now.
Sir Smith, thanks for starting this thread, and everyone else: thanks
for letting me know about this issue. I'm sorry to hear that you guys
are experiencing this behavior with Calaboration, and understand your
frustration. I wanted to let you know that I've relayed your reports
to our team over here, and we're currently at work to find a solution.
Thanks for your patience; I'll update you guys here as soon as I have
more information.
Just to add my 5 cents, I'm seeing this problem on both my iCal (not
sure on the version but it's up to date including the most recent
Safari and QuickTime updates) and in Lightning. I think I've been
seeing this problem for about a week now on the iCal side and I just
started experiencing it today on my Ubuntu (Gutsy Gibbon)-Thunderbird
2.0.0.18->Lightning 0.9->Provider for Google Calendars 0.5.1. Both
Calendars are sync'd to the same google calendars but are generally
not on at the same time. This is happening through 2 different ISPs
(Paetec @ work with the Mac) Time Warner @ home with Ubuntu. Le
Chat's theory sounds plausible as a start.
I will second the general consensus that this tool is great and I'm
missing it not working 100%. Charlie, thanks for looking into it.

I've found that iCal authentication is guaranteed to fail if you are
actively viewing your Google Calendar in another place, such as your
browser or on another instance of iCal. I assume that the system is
designed to allow only one active session per user. The solution is
the close the browser window with Google Calendar open (or view
another page) or quit the other instance of iCal. I would assume to
would apply to other calendaring apps as well.
Additionally, if you ever entered your password incorrectly in either
Calaboration or iCal, you'll have multiple keychain entries for [user]
@www.google.com and iCal may choose the wrong one with which to
authenticate. Open Keychain Access (/Applications/Utilities/Keychain
Access.app), search your login keychain for "google", and delete the
incorrect entry. Seemed to fix the problem for me.
I had the same problem before I installed Calabration, and I installed
to see it if it would solve it. It didn't. But, at any rate, I don't
think Calabration is the culprit here...

flutor, I had exactly the same experience. iCal sync started failing
before I'd heard about Calaboration. When it started failing for me I
downloaded the tool and tried to re-establish sync with my calendars,
but it made no difference as far as the problem goes. I suspect it's
a gcal problem.

Just thought I'd add that I have been having the same problem for the
past week+.
If Chris is right...
("I've found that iCal authentication is guaranteed to fail if
you are actively viewing your Google Calendar in another place, such

Could the problem be the google cal sidebar in gmail enabled
through google labs? If this does cause such a problem then I hope
they fix it ASAP as it is very annoying and didn't happen before!
Whatever the issue that causes this, i hope that they pay attention to
this thread and fix it :)

Just from my experience, I don't / didn't have GCal's webpage open at
the time of these errors on either machine. Though I'm most likely
logged into my "google account" at the time, I'd only be at the search
page if anywhere on their site at the time of the errors.
