Google Sports Calendars

[chubbysnoozemonster]

Hi,

I just subscribed to some sports calendars in google. For some weird
reason Spanning Sync doesn't list any of the sports calendars I
subscribe to so I can't sync them to my iCal, Lightning and iPhone.
The other subscriptions are ok though, including public holidays and
even 'day of the year'. Is it just my computer? I'm on my macbook,
though the primary computer for syncing is the home iMac. I haven't
tried it on the iMac yet, but I don't see how that will be any
different.

Is there any way around this? I'd really like to be able to check when
the football is on without having to go online or the Arsenal app
everytime.

Thanks,
Sheri

Hi Sheri,

This is a known issue. For whatever reason, Google doesn't allow
syncing of these sports schedule calendars. Hopefully they'll change
that soon.

Ugh. I was hoping that wasn't the case.

But thanks.

Byron's right--Google doesn't allow API access (and therefore sync
access) to their new Sports calendars. Weird. They don't even provide
an ICAL version of the calendar so you can subscribe in other apps.

However, many of the public calendars you can access in Google
Calendar do provide an ICAL version. Just go to their details in
Google Calendar, click the ICAL link, and subscribe to them directly
in iCal.

Please let me know if you have any questions or run into any
problems.

Thanks,
Charlie
