I would like to access to a google calendar via a CalDAV account. I have been doing this successfully for a number of years, but this week it suddenly stopped working.

Past events on iPhone Calendar missing after removing CalDav account
I had my Google calendar account on all my iPhones throughout the years set up with CalDAV.

I had my Google calendar account on all my iPhones throughout the years set up with CalDAV. About a week ago, on my iPhone 15 Pro running iOS 18 I started getting the dreaded "Password Incorrect" error message for the account. I removed the account from my phone, and then re-added it using my standard @gmail account login rather than the old CalDAV method.
Any current events that I add sync just fine between my phone, computer, and the Google Calendars webpage. However, all my calendar events I had from before are completely missing everywhere. I tried desyncing and resyncing the calendar account, and checking the deleted events section on the Google Calendar webpage, but there was nothing there. Is there any way I can get those events back? I don't understand how they could have vanished into thin air.

Importing DAViCal calendar into macOS Calendar app
I installed DAViCal (v.1.1.4) on my Ubuntu (16.04 LTS) server under a subdirectory mydomain.com/davical/ and want to import it into my Calendar App (v11.0 (2855.1.2)) on my macOS 12.1, but I am failing: The instructions from [Client Config Page](https://davical.org/clients.php) don't work and from [...
I installed DAViCal (v.1.1.4) on my Ubuntu (16.04 LTS) server under a subdirectory mydomain.com/davical/ and want to import it into my Calendar App (v11.0 (2855.1.2)) on my macOS 12.1, but I am failing:
The instructions from [Client Config Page](https://davical.org/clients.php) don't work and from [iCal Config Page](https://davical.org/clients.php?client=iCal) is highly outdated... I managed to import the calendar into Thunderbird (Lightning) and even an Android phone (with Calendar Sync), so I confirmed, that the server works.
How do I add a caldav account? What are the configs to use?

I am using Google Calendar and I would like to sync it with my iPhone. Usually, the best way to do this is via setting up a CalDAV account which I've been successfully doing for a while.
However, recently, the syncing has ceased to work. So have I subsequently deleted and re-added the account to my iPhone, but I keep on getting an error message, that the CalDAV account cannot be verified.
Does anybody have any suggestions what I can do about this? I'm absolutely certain the all the data I enter is correct.

Why Travel Time is not available for all calendars?
I have two calendars set on my iPhone : one with CalDAV and another one with Exchange. When I create an appointment in my CalDAV calendar, the « Travel Time » field is available, and I can select an address in the « Location field » : [
But when I create an appointment in my Exchange calendar, the « Travel Time » field disappeared and I am unable to set a location.
Any idea of why Travel Time and Location are not available for all types of calendar ?
Thanks in advance

- I checked the password in the KeyChain - it's correct and the expiry date in the KeyChain app is also **not** set
- I deleted the CalDAV account and created it again
None of this helped, any other ideas?

My usual issue goes something like this:
- Click to add new event, under the default calendar
- Add details, etc, and save
Later on, when I want to move it to a different calendar, I edit it, and change it to a different one via the drop-down.
- Make edit, click done
- The event will change to the proper calendar
- The event disappears
- The event reappears under the original (default calendar)
All the calendars are on Google Calendars, and synced via CalDAV into iCal as delegates. I've never had an issue up until a few months ago, and now I have to sign into Google each time I want to move an event.
Running OSX 10.7.5, iCal 5.0.3
Any suggestions?

Outlook for Mac CardDAV and CalDAV

OS X Server no longer externally available for CalDav after Update from 10.6.8 to 10.11.6

Weird issue here, after updating my client's OS X Server from 10.6.8 to 10.11.6, I can no longer reach my calendar server externally. My client's router is port forwarding to my server 8443 and 8008 over TCP/UDP, and I've tested those ports and found them to be open. External DNS is resolving to the correct IP, and Port Forwarding is pointing to the server
It all works perfectly internally.
I've heard it could be an Apache problem, but I'm not sure where to start there. I haven't found anything that pops out to me in the logs, but that doesn't mean there isn't something there.
Note:
The whole reason for doing this was to make a smoother transition to a newer server that they purchased, but I need to get them up and running first.

My family uses caldav in their iPhones to keep a shared calendar (yahoo) in sync with everyone. One phone, used to add a lot of calendar entries, has stopped syncing. I tried simply reentering the PW to see if that would jump start it, but it is still "stuck". With no diagnostic information available, I don't have a clue why.
If I "delete" this shared calendar, I will lose calendar entries added to the phone but not yet at the server. Any suggestions? Is there an easy way to select all calendar entries for a calendar and perhaps move them to the "local" calendar, Then I can delete the shared calendar, add it again, then move those new entries back to the shared calendar?
I wish there were some way to diagnose and fix this, I just don't think Apple has ever provided any tools for that.

From the same server I can successfully sync cardDAVs contacts, and IMAPs-mail, so I've ruled out network issues.
Furthermore, that same installation also syncs many other users (non-i) -Devices Contacts, Calenders, and Mails, so I've ruled out [SOGOs](https://sogo.nu/) CalDAV implementation.
This Problem is not present on the WinPhones, [Androids(with DavDroid)](https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=at.bitfire.davdroid) , [Thunderbird/Lightning](http://sabre.io/dav/clients/thunderbird/) , and even [Outlook 2010](https://sourceforge.net/projects/outlookcaldavsynchronizer/) . I kind-of feel stupid now having recommended iDevices in the past.
I tried:
* Rebooting normally
* Signing out of iCloud, then rebooting
* Factory-reset, then configuring the CalDAV first, then the rest.
* Opened the non-SSL Port (shudder) to the outside world for testing.
* Creating the Calender "twice", Once as Calender, and once as Contactlist
None of those worked, and the last one was impossible through the settings dialog
I'm not quite sure, how to proceed. In the meantime, I bought some cheap androids, so that my users at least have their calendar on the road with them.

Befor: I use Thunderbird/Lightning for my mails and for my calendar. This issue is about the calendar. I'm a google-user.
A short while ago I started to change from "Provider for Google's calendar" to the CalDAV way because I couldn't import invitations to my calendar. So far so good.
But now, every time I start Thunderbird or the calendar would like to synchronize it pops up the following window (for every calendar. I have 5!):
I could not find any preferences where I can say that Lightning can use it every time.
So, am I blind or how can I fix this?

Last week my OS X Calendar stopped syncing to Google Calendar. Past events are still there, but new events aren't pushed to Google anymore.
I already tried deleting Calendar's/iCals Cache and Settings, removing the Google Calendar entirely and adding it back again. No success so far.
Does anybody know about a way to debug CalDAV syncing on OS X? Is there a issue with Google's servers?
Any help is appreciated.

I have a subscribed calendar on my iPhone. If I look in the _Settings_ under _Mail, Contacts, Calendars_, under _Subscribed Calendars_, I see the subscribed calendar.
If I go into the subscribed calendar on my iPhone I see:
Account (On)
Server: mobile.server.com/ical.php?uniq_uuid
User Name:
Password:
Use SSL (On)
Remove Alarms (Off)
On my Mac, I go to the Calendar application, and select _Calendar->Add Account_, and then select "Add CalDAV Account...". There are three modes, _Automatic_, _Manual_, and _Advanced_. In the _Manual_ mode, I see:
Account Type: Manual
User Name:
Password:
Server:
If I go into "Advanced", I see:
Account Type: Advanced
User Name:
Password:
Server Address:
Server Path:
Port: Use SSL (checkbox)
Use Kerberos v5 for authentication (checkbox)
I have the information I need to enter from my iPhone, but I can't save it on my Mac unless there's a _User Name_, but there isn't one in the iPhone account information.
How can I enter this information from my iPhone to my Mac? My Mac is running Mavericks and the iPhone is running iOS 7.0.
