gSync1.4

Great stuff! It did take me a while to get everything set up and working but it syncs perfectly now. I have 5 iCal calendars syncing with 5 google calendars. The issues I had were 'failing to create sync session' and inability to 'update google calendar' (or something like that). Once I switched to normal syncing for all calendars and did the whole resetting thing (i.e reset iSync & gSync, log out and back in) it worked great. The was one problem in that resetting gSync does not seem to remove all of gsync's files from the hard drive, specifically files in ~/Library . I had to manually remove those to sort out the problems. All users should make sure to back up their calendars before messing around. In general, this is a great app and once I've used the demo for long enough, my £10 will be on it's way. good work.

I have been using gSync for some time now, and have experienced nothing but frustration. Synching is erratic, with problems occurring sporadically and unpredictably. Problems include: duplicate entries, entries that disappear from the Google calendar following a sync, and unwanted invitations that appear in all recurring events. I have downloaded a demo of SpanningSync, and so far it has worked without fail. I recognize the shortcoming of SpanningSyc (price, use of their server), however, in addition to the absence of bugs, they have the added advantages that they handle recurring events, they sync alarms correctly, and they perform scheduled syncs in the background; gSync offers none of the above. The gSync website continues to mislead by headlining the claim "duplicates and recurrences solved"; this is not the case. Multiple users have been posting complaints on the developer's Google Group, but fixes are yet to appear (the developers lay the blame at Google's doorstep). In sum, this application is certainly not ready for prime time.

Bought this one 15 minutes...5 minutes later my whole gmail calendar is gone! My entries..GONE! Instead it's filled with some other crap... I'm so pissed right now.... F*ing piece of sh*t! /Mikael

I gotta say, I keep trying this every time a new version comes out, and I have yet to get it work correctly for me. I don't see new events from iCal in gCal; I often get errors, but don't really know how to fix them, nor how to even see what caused them; I've often gotten duplicates on one or the other side. The latest version (0.9.9) seemed to work for a bit. It brought up some conflicts, although many of them I had no idea what it was conflicted with (is stuff pulled to the macness server? cuz I often had conflicts there). Then it just got hung up, and the progress wheel just kept spinning. It's a great idea, but before I pay $20 for it's got to be a lot less buggy. I'll keep trying to get gCalDAEMON to work, although I haven't gotten there yet...

Duplicates several times the calendars in Google, but will not updates the calendars in iCal between several computers ... So doesn't work. The aim is good, but the result is not there. I will try Gcal Daemon or wait for the Google answer.

Macness has released another commercial beta of gSync (gSync v0.9.3-rc1), which is a utility that allows you to simply synchronise Mac OSX iCal with Google Calendar. This is a signifant improvement over previous betas. get at the usual place http://www.macness.com

Like the other reviewer: it seemed to work nicely the first time. I added a second Google Calendar, syncing to a different iCal calendar, and that was the end! gSync erased everything from Google, and nearly everything from iCal. I restored my iCal database (thankfully I had a backup!), and tried to sync again. This time gSync reported an error, and then it hung -- had to force quit. If you have time to kill and want to try this, make sure you have a backup of your iCal database! You'll need it.
