I'm using 2-way mode, but some events in Microsoft Outlook don't make
it into Google Calendar.
Google Calendar Sync doesn't sync meetings for which the Google
Calendar user is neither an attendee nor the organizer. To sync these
events, please make sure the username you're using with Google
Calendar Sync is the same as the email address of the organizer or
attendees of your default Microsoft Outlook calendar.
You need to explain this a little more. My default Outllok account is
my Google IMAP account. When I create an event in outlook it will not
sync to google... Thus I get the 1 way sync. How do you verify the
Organizer email??? Should it now my my default email account?

I agree. 2-way seems incredibly useless if I have to make a new Google
account with my work email address or I have to invite my Google
account to every event I create in Outlook (non-Exchange environment).

Google you need to read these threads. The sync is worthless then to
thousands of us with enterprise email accounts at work who can't sync
a work email to a gmal email account. Google Calendar sync would have
been perfect for me since my wife and I can share our schedules all of
the time now so she knows when I am busy or coming home from work.
As it stands from my right now, Google Calendar Sync is the Windows ME
from Goolge.

Thanks for the letting me know that our FAQ covering this topic wasn't
that helpful for you guys.
I've updated the info associated with the question "I'm using 2-way
mode, but some events in Microsoft Outlook don't make it into Google
Calendar" and encourage you to check it out.
Don't be shy to point other folks to the FAQ as well :)

I made the changes as per the FAQ: Added new email addresses to my
account. (all the equivalent email address) Tried em all with no
luck. Has 1 person gotten this to really work? When I say "work" I
mean have all your MEETINGS come across as well? I would love it if I
was wrong and was just doing something wrong, hoping I'm not on some
wild goose chase while a developer fixes something that's broken.

I have no problem getting Google events to come down into my Outlook
but the sync from Outlook to Google is failing.
I originally set up my GCal with david.alan.levy[_at_]gmail.com but
have added two other logins: levy.david[_at_]comcast.net and
davelevy[_at_]urgrad.rochester.edu to my profile which have access to
my GCal. I tested these and they all land me at my default GCal.
My Outlook calendar uses the comcast account and this is the login
that I tell sync to use.
I get the following in the sync log file (edited to mask email
address):
Syncing matched event:http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/default/ private/full/f117oh6282khhkfo3lbv3bjaek

sync to right -> import right event to left calendar
How do I find out what event it is complaining about and whether it is
the Outlook or GCal event?
In the case of the last one, I *think* this is an Outlook
"appointment" (no other attendees) that I put in. How do I find this
and get a better message about where the problem lies?
Thanks for any clarifications. As this stands right now, it is of
very minimal utility to me.
I couldn't see any of my events from my Outlook to my Google Cal until
I invited myself. This makes this unfortunately quite useless. Back
to publishing my Outlook Calendar on the Internet.

I installed it straight away ... and am about to uninstall it.
Before I outline moans, I will say that Google events sync'ed well -
almost too well - onto Outlook, but nothing (or nothing that I've yet
found) went the other way either through 2-way or 1-way (O>G).
What I need before I will re-install:
* the ability to define which GCal calendar to sync Outlook events to
* import multiple GCals - shared calendars are so useful that missing
them out is fatal
* more useful information in the log files - there is a lot of data
there but very little that is user understandable (even just names of
events)
* an ability to tag/categorise all incoming Google events in Outlook
(I'm on 2007 and the categories are very useful)
* option to mark Google events as private - I now have my entire
personal calendar on my work calendar!
* an optional time range - e.g. sync only next <x> weeks
* not having to create any additional user accounts to hack my way
around - I have two accounts already (one Outlook and one Google) I
don't need any more: "the log file entry "SEVERE: [redacted]@gmail.com
neither attendee nor guest" is not useful.
and we haven't even started on specifying contacts and tasks ...

I posted a thread on my problem but have received no reply, so I'll
try this one instead (there's no FAQ on it).
I sync my Google Calendar with various computers via Plaxo. Very
annoyingly, all the events added to the Google Calendar from Plaxo are
3 hours early (I'm in GMT): midday appointments are shown as 9 am,
etc.
My timezone settings for the calendar are correct on both systems, so
the only explanation I can think of is a bug in Google.
I added a friend's calendar that is shared with everyone in the
domain.
Google system treated it as my main calendar and I cannot deleted it.
The friend's calendar is appeared after refreshing.
What can I do to delete it?

I installed Google Calendar Sync yesterday and almost everything from
Outlook in syncing in Google's Calendar. The only meetings that are
not syncing are ones for which I am an attendee rather than the
organizer. I'm using Outlook for an Exchange account and I'm not
receiving any errors, it's just that the meetings I did not organize
don't carry over to Google. Any ideas?
I'm having the same problem as letsgoflyer - only in reverse. ie if
I'm a guest on my Google Calendar that event doesn't transfer to me
Outlook Calendar. Ive tried two way and 1 way Google to Outlook, same
result ...

First off kudos to the people driving the sync project. It took a lot
longer than any of us would have liked but it certainly is a step in
the right direction. Now of course comes the ten million dollar
question... Is it really that hard to work with the secondary calendar
model your team created? It took a REALLY long time before the iGoogle
module became useful and included secondary calendars. I am hoping
that it does not take equally long to make Calendar Sync usable. Is it
possible the knowledge gained by the iGoogle module creator could be
shared with the Calendar Sync creator to help move things along? I'm
sure we'd all rather be complaining about Thunderbird or Apple iCal
support instead of fundamental secondary calendar support ;) Please
consider making this support a priority!

I agree that the usefulness of calendar sync (which in principle is an
urgently needed solution for many of us) in a corporate context is
completely undermined by the fact that meetings where I am not the
organizer do not get synchronized to google calendar. Such meetings
represent 75% of my calendar entries.
I hope this gets resolved soon -- then it is a fantastic app.
I was having problems sync-ing appointments in Outlook to Google
Calendar that either had other attendees or that weren't organized by
myself. Instead of using the Google Calendar sync tool (I tried
everything posted on this discussion board, but without success), I
tried this: http://www.daveswebsite.com/software/gsync/ and it sync-ed
everything! I'm then using Goo Sync to sync my smartphone's PIM
Calendar app to Google Calendar (Smartphone is a Palm Treo 755p). Now
everything is there!
When using Gsync, open up the synchronization range to grab recurring
meetings that may have originated outside of this window.

The Main problem that people aren't getting is that you have to go to
https://www.google.com/accounts/UpdateUserInfo and click on edit next
to "Personal Information" in the upper left hand area of the screen.
Then they have to add the outlook email that all the appointments and
events were sent to or a part of that aren't syncing.
THEN they have to use that email address in the google sync
application instead of their gmail account but use their gmail account
password. Thats the key to getting all your outlook events to sync.

I added my work email address to my Google account.
I did the email confirmation thing.
I put my work email and GMail password in the sync application.
I ran sync.
I refreshed my Google Calendar.
Only my meetings and appointments are there.
I looked for a log file without success.

I almost have to agree at this point. I spent a large part of the day
trying to figure this out cause if it worked it would have been the
coolest thing google has done in a while, instead it just provided a
frustrating experience. I have the same problem many have
mentioned. It goes through and analyzes all the events, then loads
outlook events, but then the second it tries syncing event 1 of 1200
it stops outlook closes and it tells me its synced, yet nothing new
shows up on the google calendar.
All the help i can find tells me I have to be the organizer and well
on my outlook I created every event listed and still it wont sync.
There is definitely something wrong that someone hasn't fixed before
releasing the software and that is very disappointing.

Tried this but Google Cal Sync on my desktop only allows my GMail
account to sync. If I type in the other e-mail address, it tells me
that it is the wrong address.

I just tried this and it worked for two of the three recurring
meetings that didn't copy from my Outlook calendar to Google. However
one of them still isn't showing up. I can't figure it out.

The first sync has been running for 4 days and monopolizing my
computer's resources the entire time. Currently at 86% -- 1439 / 1782
events. I don't think there are anywhere near 1782 events on my
calendar. Is it syncing recurring events way into the future? What's
going on? Is this normal?
