As iPhone and Google Calendar users know, there is not an official way to sync your online Google Calendar with the calendar on your iPhone, however there is a way if you have one of the newer versions of Microsoft Outlook with the calendar function.
- Download Google Calendar Sync, install, and set it up by entering your Google account information. If you plan on not using Microsoft Outlook at all, and only Google Calendar, choose a one-way sync from Google Calendar to Microsoft Outlook.
- Allow the calendar to sync with Microsoft Outlook. It should be done automatically once installed, as you will be asked to set up how often you want the calendars to sync.
- Once the calendar has been synchronized, plug in you iPhone and open iTunes.
- Under the “Info” tab, under “Calendars”, choose the calendar you want to sync. In most cases, it is probably best to just keep these options:
- Sync calendars with: Outlook
- All Calendars
- Sync your iPhone with iTunes, and your Google Calendar is on your iPhone! All you should have to do is connect your iPhone to your computer whenever you want it to sync.
