Google's online-based calendar program can sync with a number of desktop calendar programs you might already use. Different applications sync to Google in different ways.
Google Calendar will sync with Microsoft Outlook through a specific sync program you must download and install. However, as of July 2010, it is compatible only with Outlook versions 2003 and 2007 on Windows XP or Vista and can't be used with Outlook 2010 or Windows 7.
Programs such as iCalendar and Sunbird use a private link from Google you can retrieve for each of your calendars on Google. Other desktop calendar programs, including Apple devices, just need to connect to your Google Calendar using your Google email and password.
Sync With Microsoft Outlook
Download Google Calendar Sync at the download link (see Resources). Click “Save File” and press “OK” if you're asked if the executable file should be allowed.
Follow the steps of the installation, agreeing to the terms of service and clicking “Install” to finish.
Open Google Calendar Sync. Enter your Google email and password.
Choose how the programs will sync: two-way, with both syncing to each other, or one-way, with Google syncing to Outlook or vice versa.
Choose how often the programs will sync in minutes. Press “Save.”
Sync With Apple iCalendar or Mozilla Sunbird
