Calendar iCal urls not working?
Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2012 12:23 am
I just tried to help a friend setup his ipad to sync with his lds.org calendar. It kept failing with an error "Unable to verify account information." We get this error before and after adding lds account information. My ipad was still syncing fine. I deleted my calendar to re-add mine and it fails with the same error now and I can't get it to work again. I have done this several times on different ipads and google calendars with no errors before.
I tried to add as a Google Calendar and it fails as well. Once it failed with an error saying it wasn't in the correct format the other time it appeared to hang saying "Importing calendar from url..."
I even tried to simply export the contents as an ics file as mentioned in the "Export an iCal file" section on https://tech.lds.org/wiki/Syncing_with_ ... _calendars at that didn't work. I used Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome and all simply continuously redirect to the https://www.lds.org/SSOSignIn/ screen.
I clicked the "Generate new sync urls" and tried with the new url and got the same failures.
For completeness I should clearly state that I have had a google calendar and ipad calendar syncing just fine for months with no issues and it appears to even sync and update with items added on lds.org today. When I deleted and attempted to re-add I can't re-add it.
Has anyone had any similar problems? Am I missing some simple step? Does anyone know if something has changed?
Thanks,
Lance
