Synching all my Google Calendars / failing TB calendar

[PatrickW]

NP,

Ahh, things are getting clearer!

PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\

AND I've got a c:\cals.txt file, which looks as if it includes 11 calendars, ie the same as the number of calendar files I can see in Lightning!

Also, does synchronisation work if you choose only read/write calendars in MPE?

Looking in the cals.txt file, all 11 calendars have got RW in the row (eg UK Holidays http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/uk% ... /basic.ics RW #CC66CC) - does that mean anything?

[NP]

OK, things are getting clearer now...

So have you compared the URLs in cals.txt with those in the registry key? Are there any differences?

That you have an RW in cals.txt means the Google Provider for Lightning does not set this attribute correctly - this might cause a part of your problems. What does Lightning do when you try to change an item in a calendar without write access? Are you able to sync when you enable only calendars that are really writable?

I'm still puzzled by the error message you found earlier on about the MPE plugin not able to find a calendar. Can you still reproduce this error condition?

Hey guys... you seem to be a lot further than me

All I want is to sync the shared calendars of google to my phone. Do I need Lightning for this? I mean: is this a proven concept already, or can I expect the same problems as NP is experiencing?

Or maybe syncing shared calendars is a future feature? Because then I think I will wait a little longer

[NP]

rolandow: You do not need Lightning; you can sync Google calendars directly with the current edition of MPE.

[rolandow]

I know. But I cannot sync the calendar of my friends, who have shared their calendar with me. So I can only see the calenders I own myself.

Even though I have read/write access to the other calendars.

Readonly-support will be added in the next minor-version.

FJ, NP,

Sorry for the delay in replying - just back from vacation this afternoon, and have downloaded version 1.6.2 - and the Google Calendar synch works!!

Many thanks again for all your help / advice.

[Edit] Hmm... I should have checked that the synchs did work before I posted!

After a few attempts, I can see that my High Barn calendar is showing in MPE; however, it isn't showing in my 'phone!

[FJ]

Please be more exactly with your descriptions and refresh the calendar using "Download all entries from phone"

[PatrickW]

FJ,

Sorry - my turn to ask you to be more exact with your description: where would I find the "Download all entries from phone" command?

[NP]

It's the button with the white arrow pointing downwards, right beside the sync button.

[PatrickW]

NP,

Thanks. After I'd posted the last note, I wondered if it could be that one - in my case, it's called "Download entire".

I've chosen that option and the High Barn entries have now disappeared from MPE - and of course are not showing on the 'phone.

I've therefore chosen another synch and can see that it's offering to make new 'phone entries for the High Barn entries. So, once that finished, I can see the High Barn entries in MPE - however, again they are not showing on my 'phone

I wondered whether perhaps there wasn't enough space on my T610; however, if I look at Memory Status, it tells me I've used 300 out of a total of 380.

Looking more closely at the entries in MPE, it looks as if it's got as far as yesterday's High Barn entry and then stopped - the entries for this evening onwards for High Barn aren't showing in MPE, and no entries for High Barn are showing in my 'phone. Entries for future events from other Google Calendars ARE showing in MPE and my phone.

Rather than copying/pasting the 9307 (!) lines from the log file which just cover the above two actions, can I email it to you if you think it'll be of any use?


Many thanks.

[FJ]

The organizer can keep 300 events and 80 todos. So you cannot save 301 events in the phone.

[PatrickW]

That would explain things!

Is that a function of my T610 - or of MPE?

[FJ]

No - the limit is set on every phone of SE, also the newest phones.

[PatrickW]

Oh well, not such a big problem.

Fortunately, your lovely software has allowed me to put in events from 90 days ago and all future events - marvellous!!
