After upgrading my brides iPhone 3GS to iOS 4 and getting my new iPhone 4, I noticed that Google Calendar was now only syncing our primary calendars. After several attempts at trying to get all the calendars to sync, I’ve finally found a solution.
YMMV, but this is what has worked for me.
- Starting with no accounts on the phone.
- Add a new Gmail account (this is for your email, I don’t sync contacts)
- Add a new Exchange account (this is for your calendar).
- Open Calendar and validate that it is pulling down your primary calendar. Close calendar.
- Follow these instructions from Google.
- I had multiple “devices” listed, and chose the device that had the most current “Last sync” date/time.
- Close Safari
- Open Settings
- Open Mail, Contacts, Calendars
- Open Fetch New Data
- Turn Push On
- Open Advanced
- Set your Calendars to Push
- Close Settings
- Open Calendar and wait for it to sync
- I had to force quit calendar from the “running” programs dock and then re-open calendar before it would start to sync with the new settings.
Howdy all!
Jamie is sprouting a ‘stache. Yes, folks, it looks ridiculous but since it is for a good cause, I am, begrudgingly (though I say it with a smile) supporting him.
Mustaches for Kids Omaha is local chapter of Mustaches for Kids, a volunteer-run organization started in Los Angeles in 1999 to do good and have fun by growing Mustaches for children’s charities. In 2009, the inaugural year for the Omaha chapter, 30 “growers” raised over $20,000 for a local charity. This year, they have partnered with the Nebraska Children’s Home Society, a local charity that provides no cost adoption, foster care, parenting support, and childcare for families in Nebraska. With 123 registered “growers” the goal this year is to top $33,000 “for the honor of not only Omaha, but the United States of America”. Be sure to check out the “Border Wars” to get the full effect of this statement.
M4K Omaha site is full of informational & amusing tidbits, so be sure to check it out, especially the Border Wars, oh-so-amusing videos and most importantly, the Donate button!
Thanks for your support,

yesterday i participated in Scott Kelby’s second annual worldwide photo walk.
i didn’t take as many pictures as i thought i would. rather, i spent the majority of time observing everything around. it was a wonderful and peaceful way to spend the morning of my birthday. a big thank you goes out to Amy, Guy & Kael for letting me go :)
here are the two photos that i’ve submitted to the photo walk contest…
here is a quick time lapse of the night sky. nothing special or dramatic, just me having fun with my new gizmo.
