Syncing Google Calendars to your Mac (+ iPhone)

Because this wasn’t easy to find when I did a Google search on how to do it…

I’ve been using Google Calendar for a few years because it was really the only feasible way to manage my schedule in school, where I used more than one laptop, lab machines, and kiosks on a regular basis.

Now that I work primarily on two Macs and have an iPhone, I’m still happy with Google Calendar because of two things: Google now supports CalDAV, iCal 3 supports CalDAV sync, and NeuvaSync acts like an Exchange server for my Google Calendars!

NeuvaSync allows direct, over-the-air, native synchronization of certain smart phones and PDA devices with public PIM, and calendaring services including Google Calendar. NuevaSync does not need any software installed on your device because it uses synchronization protocols that are already built in.

With this setup, I can add/edit events from either of my Macs, Google Calendar, or my iPhone.

It took less than 10 minutes to get the iPhone setup from registering at NeuvaSync.com to syncing for the first time. (brief instructions on setting up NeuvaSync)

Only criticism of this setup are: NeuvaSync can’t color-code indivual calendars from gcal, but maybe that’s coming?
