- Select Accounts>Add New Account>Email, Calendar and Contacts>Advanced Setup>CalDAV.
- On the CalDAV screen, the Description field is optional, but can be filled in for clarity.
- Enter the full email address in the Username and Email Address fields.
- Enter the password used to access Google Calendar in the Password field. Use the Show Password checkbox to ensure it is correct.
- In the Server Address field, enter https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/<emailaddress>/events. Where <emailaddress> is add the Google email address.
- Sync Interval can be changed with these values : 15 Minutes , 30 Minutes , 1 Hour , 2 Hours , 4 Hours , 24 Hours , or Manual.

Then add the same Google account to your iCal on your Mac:

- Click the Accounts tab
- In the accounts pane on the left, click the + button to add an account*
- Enter the following information:

- Password: Enter the password for the email address you listed above.
This information is a combination of a BlackBerry knowledgebase article and Google help document. Please note this does not allow the BB Calendar to sync with iCloud, only iCal on a Mac. The Google Account will need to be added separately to each different Mac you use.
