That worked except that I got an error saying there was no plist file, even though I created it (with TextWrangler - I have no Applications > Editor, and the file extension is .plist). I used my existing ical calendars and created blank Google calendars. However when I synced manually I got error messages saying it couldn't move repeating events into Google. There are threads about this on the web, but I haven't figured out if the problem has been solved. Do you know anything about this? Thanks for your help!

The response means that the file isn't where it should be. I guess there's something wrong with the path of your installation. Try going to "/usr/local/sbin" via the "Go To > Folder ..." command in Finder and check if the directory "GCALDaemon" is there. Then open it and follow the path to /bin. Look for the "config-editor.sh" file there. If the path is correct and it still isn't working there could be something wrong with the installation. I'd suggest you delete the whole GCALDaemon directory and re-install it. Also, it comes to mind that GCALDaemon requires Java 1.5 - you might want to check your current version in Terminal: "java -version". If it's less than 1.5 you need to upgrade. Finally make sure you downloaded the correct GCALDaemon ZIP file (you needs the Unix/Linux/ ... compatible one). Good point!

With my oldish Mac, I'm better off staying with Tiger. I hope it's possible to use GcalDaemon in that case. As I understand it, CalDav requires Leopard.

After successfully installing GALDaemon in /usr/local/sbin, I entered /usr/local/sbin/GCALDaemon/bin/config-editor.sh and got the response tcsh: pre: No such file or directory. I really don't know any UNIX so I don't understand what to do. Please help! Thanks. Thanks for posting this, but I ran into trouble trying your idea with Tiger.

I now it´s a little late to write here, but i followed the instructions, and could do everything, except the last step: when i write: "sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/net.sf.gcald.plist" I get this message: "launchctl: opendir() failed to open the directory nothing found to load" I did the plist with Smultron as suggested, and i think that´s my problem... I´d be grateful to receive some help. By the way, i use tiger. Thanks in advance. Great explanations! marcodovis@gmail.com Hello!

Thank you so much for this explanation, that's the first time I got GCALDaemon run... It also seems to work, the iCal -> gCal sync works fine (haven't tested the gCal -> iCal sync yet, because my gCals were all empty and now I'm not at home so I can' test it), but I have got one serious problem ... now most of my events are doubled!!! Not the whole-day events, but the others .. they appear two times, once with the right time, and once 2 hours earlier ... seems like GCALDaemon messes up with time zones or something like that ... any ideas how to solve that?
