Sync Google calendar in Thunderbird/Lightning problems

Hey all,.

So I keep a Google calendar so I can access my journal of my phone (android) and my laptop (via lightning add-on from Thunderbird). After some difficulties with my android app (that I solved), it seems today I managed to banjax Lightning: I can view my calendars very well on my phone and in a browser on the site Google.com/Calendar, but the lightning on my Thunderbird tab remains empty (almost entirely).

I tried to remove and reinstall/reapply the individual calendars themselves (there are three, a staff, two wildcard 'holiday in [country]' and "Week numbers") of lightning, as well as the two add-on Lightning the himself (v. 2.6.6) and the other "provider for Google Calendar" (version 1.0.3) you will need to make lightning plays well with Google.

The calendars are displayed in the left of the lightning pane, if you can see * something *, but it does not display the individual events - the real calendar in the center of the screen remains stubbornly empty.

Creation of new events 'test' in my browser (or my phone) is not a problem, but they do not appear in lightning, nor my pre-existing events. * New * events created in lightning, however, will appear in my browser if I press the "sync" button in Thunderbird and can be successfully edited and removed from the browser.

I hope I'm missing something obvious...?

OK, got it solved... but I don't know why.

I tried updates (for Thunderbird, Lightning, the provider for Google Calendar, call you) yesterday when it first happened, but it seemed that everything was up to date. First thing this morning, an update for Thunderbird itself was available - installation (to 31.3.0) invite to an update of the lightning (at paragraph 3.3.1), although the provider of Google is always v. 1.0.3.

Once the updates have been made, I disabled the provider, subscribed to my calendars and resubscribed... and found my events. Everything works as it should now.

Hope this helps someone in the same situation, in that I was!

  • Google Calendar does not synchronize with all calendars.

    Just set up my new Surface RT to synchronize my Google calendars, but it is not to shoot the 'other calendars' (shared) I subscribed to by URL. For example, I have a calendar for my dish Uni which is drawn in Google calendars, but does not appear on my Surface because it is not one of "my calendars".

    I read that the solution for this on mobile devices is going to http://m.google.com/sync, log and Google Sync allows you to choose which calendars synchronized. (See this section of help here: http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=139206and is used for Windows http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2430181#googlephones) However, the Surface has a full desktop browser, so I can't access this page there...

  • Lightning don't talk to Google Calendar - problem with cookies?

    Execution of Thunderbird 31.1.0 with Lightning 1.0 and the module supplier of Google. I maintain four different calendars with google (work room, home, other, conf) account. When I woke up today all my calendars worked. They have been set up in lightning as calendars google network, which stressed their respective links to XML.

    All of a sudden this afternoon, without me antics with any of the parameters GCal or lightning, calendars in the sidebar of the lightning stopped to talk with the platform of google calendar. All events always appear in google calendar thin and fine always sync up to my mobile device.

    The problem is: the calendars are just sitting and showing the color of the light "synchronized." When I right click on one and try to activate it manually in lightning, it displays a prompt of password for google account. After entering my google login information, returns the window of dialogue: "Oops!" Your browser appears to have cookies disabled. Make sure that cookies are enabled, or try to open a new browser window. "

    I can assure you that cookies have been enabled in my Chrome browser settings. Double even checked in Firefox, even though it isn't my default browser, they are activated too. There is no need to change the message "cookies disabled". I went up to erase all data of the chrome, by suggestion of the googles and no dice. Even uninstalled Chrome and re-installed and no luck.

    I must be missing something. It shouldn't be so hard to make the switch from cookies and get these programs talk to once again...

  • Thunderbird freezes when Windows 10 fate of mode 'sleep'. SOLVED by disabling lightning, provider for Google Calendar and calendar Tweak

    Since the update of Windows 7 Windows 10, Thunderbird has acted erratically. At random times, he keeps checking for new messages. If I then try to manually check for mail, it freezes. He meets some menu commands, but by clicking anywhere in the components (list the mailboxes), the list of messages, etc. does nothing. Sometimes, it opens a white notification window, which I can only get rid of kill it with Task Manager. More often, if I just close Thunderbird and start it again, it starts working normally again... For a period of time. The problem seems to happen most often when I turn Windows off mode 'sleep', but

    I'm currently under Thunderbird 38.2.0.

    I tried to disable some add-ons that I wasn't really using. I'll see if that helps. I saw that he suggested that users with similar problems running Thunderbird with all disabled add-ons, but I also saw that it said that it is really only a temporary fix rather than a real solution and I agree. List of enabled extensions:

    Add-on Compatibility Reporter 1.1.1
    The Update Checker 2.13 module
    Check compatibility 1.3.1
    Compact header 2.1.0
    Mark all as read button 0.7.1
    Reduce to a minimum at Lac revived 1.1.2.1

    Any other suggestions? Anyone else having the same problem? I saw a few others with Windows 10 problems, but nothing quite matched mine.

    Thanks for the help. Until now, deactivation of lightning, provider for Google Calendar and calendar Tweaks seems to have solved the problem. If it begins to freeze again, I'll do Mode without fail a test.

  • Lightning events do not fill in google calendar

    I installed the add-on "Provider for Google Calendar 1.0.4." When I do an event entry in the Google Calendar, it appears in my calendar of lightning. Conversely, if I do an event entry in my diary of lightning, it does not appear on my Google Calendar. I use lightning 4.0.4.1

    Once again, what are your versions of Thunderbird, Lightning and the provider add-on?

    and charging each of them...

    I mean you don't have to reinstall Thunderbird, then it was a waste of time.

    You can try to remove the calendar in lightning, restart Thunderbird, and then recreate the calendar.
    Given that the calendar is a calendar of network no data will be lost.

    That said, it is always recommended to have a recent backup of profile.

  • Thunderbird 38.3.0: No writable calendars are configured for the invitations with the provider for Google Calendar 1.0.4

    Hello

    I searched many hours today in the internet and your forums, but it seems that this problem is not solved yet:

    No writable calendars are configured for the invitations with the provider for Google Calendar.

    My Thunderbird is 38.3.0 and the provider for Google Calendar 1.0.4.

    I put calendar.google.enableEmailInvitations; true but it did not help. I also tried [email protected]... @googlemail.com. Calendar works fine, it syncs, I see all the entries etc. But I can't accept invitations even IF she must have write access.

    What can I do? Is there a solution for this?

    Thank you!
    Daniel

    Use CalDAV here to access Google Calendar via lightning. I have no experience with the add-on of the provider.
    In any case, it is my understanding that you must assign an e-mail address to a calendar in order to be able to accept the invitations for this calendar. I see that in your screenshot.
    You can try to remove the Google calendar in lightning and re-create it. Given that all the data is on the server nothing will get lost.
    Or you may want to try CalDAV.

    Hi Glada Fari,

    Looks like you got questions, add your Google account to your Mac after the update to El Capitan? You can try to add your Google account in the Mail application, if the problem occurs in Internet accounts. If the account is successfully added in the Mail application, you can then adjust specific sync services you want to enable in the accounts of the system preferences. If you need a few quick steps to add the account in the Mail application, please follow the links below.

    Use the mail on your Mac.

    OS X El Capitan: preferences of Internet accounts

    This should allow you to set up your Google calendar as you like. Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question. Good day.
