Step #2 simply doesn’t work for me with 10.6.7 maybe because it doesn’t allow me to rename the calendar in iCal to what I want. When I put in the unique ‘string code’ for my 2nd gcal (not primary) it defaults to the primary or tells me that caldav doesn’t allow for duplicate accounts

There has to be a way google!

@Dino700
Open up iCal’s preferences.
Switch to Accounts tab.
Click on the plus sign to add an additional Google calendar.
Account type: CalDAV
Username: your Gmail address
Password: your Gmail password
Serveraddress:
https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/yourcalendaridincluding@grouo.calendar.google.com/user
And you’re done

Good write up, Clifton. I do have a question. On Step 3 where you have “Paste the Account URL from Mail that corresponds to this calendar,” it overwrites that even if you put a different URL for another Google Calendar in the same account. Have you tried doing multiple calendars this way?

Good writeup, but on step 2 can you not just use this tool to save some time:

I have used it in the past but have not tried it with your version of the writeup.
