iOS 7 Update

There is a very important update for iOS devices. The update (iOS 7.0.6) updates a SSL script that is very important to keeping your device safe. However, after updating, some may notice their Google Calendar not syncing all events. We believe that we have a fix.

After updating your iOS device, please do the following:

  1. Open your Settings.
  2. Open the Mail, Contacts and Calendars.
  3. Scroll down to “Fetch New Data”. (This should be set to “Push”). Open the Fetch New Data setting.
  4. Scroll down the last section “Fetch”.  Select “Hourly” (or Every 15 minutes or Every 30 minutes). This was probably set to Manually. 

 

That’s it. This means that your calendar may be up to an hour behind changes made on other devices. However, this is generally preferable to syncing taking days and days.
