Try clearing out all of the existing entries from your BB calendar. Then resend all of your service books. Then re-sync with Google Sync.

I have loads of calendar entries - is there a quick way to purge them?

[misterbass]

Calendar purged and service books sent. My suspicion is that Google sync only show the default calendar may be the problem.

[misterbass]

Actually, I purged the calendar by going into DM and 'backup restore','advanced' and then cleared the calendar database. I've then tried to do a one way sync to load calendar data back from outlook onto BB and nothing has come across. Any ideas?

[misterbass]

Sorted that....got the calendar back....just the sync issue to sort now

[misterbass]

Right, I can now see 2 calendars in Google sync which I've selected for sync. I've selected my Google work calendar to 'add handheld events to'. I've done a sync, but both calendars have merged onto the personal calendar on the device. Any thoughts?

This is such a known issue... You can get as many calendars as you like from google but they all sync to the default bb calendar (thus being with the same color).

I really want to know what cdicesare2002 has done thou, since he said he can sync different calendars to diferent 'colors'.

[misterbass]

So what's the logic behind Google offering multiple calendar sync in device options?

[diegonei]

Don't ask me why they didn't build it like we want it. I don't see how this can be hard...

Google Calendar "Company 1" < > BlackBerry Calendar "[email protected]" (red)
Google Calendar "Company 2" < > BlackBerry Calendar "[email protected]" (red)
Google Calendar "Fun" < > BlackBerry Calendar "[email protected]" (green)
Google Calendar "Kids" < > BlackBerry Calendar "[email protected]" (blue)
Google Calendar "Default" < > BlackBerry Calendar "[email protected]" (blue)

This can't be that hard to implement!

Still... let's hope cdicesare2002posts back with his settins and they get us what we long for.

[misterbass]

So near, yet so far.....any further development on this guys?

I've given the Bold a fair crack of the whip, believing it to be a superlative organiser. I've had an iphone too and have to say that the iphone wins hands down in this category. Whilst the BB is a more robust, no frills phone, how can something so conceptually simple be so awkward?

Well, I'm sure under BES we would have a better time... But the poor BIS users we are, we gotta wait till somebody down in Google decides to fix this.

Not gonna happen, let me try to 'splain:

First the limitations:
1) BB sets the color based on calendars [CICAL] that it knows of, which is based on an email address.
2) Google Synch will synchronize just one Gmail account with your BB.

Then the example:
3) [email protected] is your acct that the BB and Google Sync know about, you can choose any color that you want.
4) [email protected] is a calendar you want to display on your BB calendar screen(s).
5) [email protected] is a sports calendar you want to display on your BB calendar screen(s) also.

Now
- You setup Google Sync to display your calendar, and the Group calendars.
- Google Sync has to update the BB, using it's limitations, to display calendar entries. It only has one way, and that is to use [email protected], since it is the only thing they both know about.
- Your BB then uses the color that you set, (outside of Google's knowledge), to display those consolidated entries.

FWIW, hope this makes sense...

So, with no ability to sync to 2 Google calendars, is it possible to do a 2 way sync BB calendar to Google and the other to MS Outlook without merging?

Yes, it makes sence and is in compliance with what I mentioned a few posts before. Check it and you'll find I even propose an easy solution ot the issue.

What I ment is, BES users might have a better time with differenc calendars and OTA sync.

Sigh....ah well iphone 4 beckons....

[cdicesare2002]

I'd stick with the 9700 if I could crack this calendar....didn't you say that you'd got it sorted? How?
