When I try to sync the touhsmart calendar with my google calendar nothing happens.

I set it up with my username and password for google but when I press sync, it says its syncing but it doesn't show any of my appointments from google.

Is the sync only a one way sync??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Same Result as Gnome.


I don't use the outlook inside this touchSmartPC, I just want to use the TouchSmart Calender only.

But I never try download the Google Calender Syn-Installer ..

Will it solve the problem?

I tried it as well as HP's updated TS calendar app which was released a few days ago and I am still unable to sync.

I *think* the reason isbecause I have my google account set up as an IMAP account rather than a POP account. There seems to be no way in the TS Cal app to change the SMTP setting that is used to log in to gmail. It logs in fine but the calendar data does not cross over/sync.

I tried turning off Imap and turned on Pop and that didn't help.

I can Send calendar to Google ,but Fail to Receive .

Ha !
Conclusion : Mission Impossible !

February 13, 2009 7:00 AM

I checked my Google Calendar and there is a new calendar called HP Touchsmart Calendar. So its not syncing with my primary calendar but creating a new one and syncing with that one.

February 13, 2009 11:13 AM

Sure, same as my result before ,can out but cannot in !

Lazy & Autistic Synchronization ---------of TouchSmart with Google Calendar

OK
After Testing , I got the same result as Gnome said,

1. I can send and receive data to a "Sudden Come out" Calendar in my Google Account -->HP Touchsmart Calendar

2. But, CANNOT receive data of my "Main Calendar" in Google .

3. HaHa... This really out of expectation or say not logical .

4. I use iPhone too.. Even the Free software can logically SYN with the Google Main Calendar but also "other Calendars" written by my colleague. So this Result is quite quite out of my expectation.. How come Hp just do the job so lazy and just in Half ?

Here is the solution that was posted by Andrew in another thread (You will see the big green check mark next to the answer)

Unfortunately that solution doesn't work either.
I run google sync on my work pc to sync my work outlook calendar with my google calendar. That sync works correctly but it syncs with my main calendar not the new touchsmart calendar.
As a last ditch effort, I exported my work outlook calendar to a CSV file and imported it into the new touhsmart google calendar, so all of my meetings up to that point are in my new calendar, but of course, this is a point in time.
The only way to update the calendar again would be to delete all the appointments in the google calendar and do another export and import from Outlook.
If you don't delete your meetings before updating it will add the same meetings back, so you will have multiple occurences of the same appointments.

Not a great solution, but at least I have my latest meetings on my touchsmart now.

HaHa.... TouchSmart from Autistic Synchronization become Overbearing after your encourage .

The Key point is TS only Autistically Syn in it's own world (Calendar) , it only talk ( send and receive ) in his own world ( TS PC's Calendar vs Google's TS Calendar )

TS never consider to know What already exist ! ( e.g existed others calendar , shared Calendar from 3th party ,.... )

It really limited the big adventage of Google's Share Calendar function.

Share Calendar is a very good function . For me, I can check Google Calendar and know my colleague's Schedule and no need check in office's notice board.

At the beginning, I hope I can watch my existed Main Calendar , 3th party people's Calendar...
Now ALL Fail ...

It's is Meaningless and Useless of using TS calendar for me .



More, I still don't TS originally design idea . This TS calendar only generate a thing in Web and only talk within it but Cannot Know something exist .

People Should have Google Calendar firstly Then want to use TS to Check it .

Now ,Cannot read the exist thing.
So, What is their Design Logic ???????? I don't understand !

Just Laugh .... and Upset !

Just picked up IQ527. HP touchsmart calendar says it is syncing to google but no HP calendar is showing up on the google calendar. I have installed Norton that came with the computer. Could this be blocking the communication? Any suggestions? The calendar is useless if I can't sync with google. Any help would be appreciated.

April 24, 2009 8:44 AM

Does your Google account password have special characters in it? Mine did, and nothing worked, but then, on a hunch, I changed my password to just letters and numbers and I got the HP calendar in google and sync'ing worked.

April 27, 2009 12:56 PM

Thanks for the message. Email only has letters and numbers. HP and Google calender still not syncing. other options?

April 27, 2009 1:11 PM

Just to clarify, it was by password that had special characters in it. Another thing to try is to completely remove the setup, choose none for the calendar provider, close Touchsmart software (ctrl-shift-close button), then start touchsmart and enter the info again. I also found that it took about 5 minutes before the Touchsmart calendar finally showed up in google. Not sure what the delay was.

April 27, 2009 8:15 PM

I tried to change the password and removed the touchsmart caledar as you mentioned. Still no change. I did notice the sync button and looked at details. I'm getting an error message for Microsoft outlook 214722164. I am using windows Vista on 64 bit. I noticed that google doesn't support windows xp 64 bit on the calendar. Could this be the problem? I can't imagine in not working since I justed purchased the computer from costco 3 weeks ago. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance

One of the things I noticed is that when you create a calendar event in your google calendar there is a drop down list in the create appointment box where you have to choose which calendar you want to create the appointment in. Unfortunately the default IS NOT the Touchsmart Calendar so you have to pull it from the dropdown list.

I did that for each of my appointments and they synced to my touchsmar calendar.

If you created them in your regular google calendar, you can edit the appointment and switch it to the Touchsmart calendar and save it. It should then cross over.

I had the similar problem. My mobile phone syncs only with google primary calendar. As TS creates its own calendar in google account I was not able to sync up stuff from phone with TS.

Solution was quite simple: delete "HP Touchsmart Calendar" calendar in google and rename the default calendar to "HP Touchsmart Calendar". It works perfectly now.
