tuaw.com— I wrote this little tutorial for TUAW that gives you 9 easy steps to subscribe to any shared Google Calendar in everyone's favorite OS X calendar app: iCal.

Has anyone else has problems viewing gCal entries in iCal that are set to repeat? My one-shot appointments show up fine but the birthdays and anniversaries that I entered in gCal are broken when I try to view them in iCal.
Why are people trying to bury the comments where people are saying to use the Private URL. Using the private url makes so much more sense than this tutorial.This tutorial is opening your calender up to EVERYBODY so that EVERYBODY can search for your calendar and view what your plans are.Use the private URL instead, only you know that address and it has the same function as the public ical stuff.
Great walkthrough. When they announced Google Calendar, I thought "YEAH ubiquitious calendring at last" But no, you can subscribe to a google calendar from within Ical but you can't publish events. So I find this walkthrough <a class="user" href="http://highearthorbit.com/publish-ical-to-google-calendar/.">http://highearthorbit.com/publish-ical-to-google-calendar/.</a> Publish ical to google may be that's working? So I publish my calendar from within Ical to my own webserver and try to subscribe to that published Ical file in Google Calendar. But apart from the fact I could not see the events in Google Calendar, You can't add events to subscribed calendars in Google as well :-( All I want is to add events, either from Ical, my Phone or through the web, this is the year 2006 right ? :-)

Mozilla has a couple calendar product/extensions that support the iCal format <a class="user" href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird.html">http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird.html</a> and <a class="user" href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar">http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar</a> . While it is obviously not a port of iCal, it should support Google Calendar sharing in a similar fashion as described in the article.

Here's why:<a class="user" href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=449096">http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=449096</a>Looks like all-day repeating appointments are not compatible with iCal. Bummer.
