Scheduling can be tedious and repetitive if you have separate calendars. Combine your calendars to make life easier.

Step 1: Create a Google calendar
Log on to your Gmail account, and click the Calendar button to create your Google Calendar if you've never used it before.

Step 2: Open iCal
Open iCal on your Mac. The minimum system requirements to sync Google calendar and iCal are Mac OS 10.5, also know as Leopard.

Step 3: Go to Accounts
Go to Preferences under the iCal drop-down menu, and click Accounts. Click the Plus button at the bottom to add an account.

Step 4: Fill out the information
Change the account type to Google, add your Google e-mail and password. Click Create.

Step 5: Enter the server URL
Under Server Settings, the server address should appear as www.google.com, and the server path should be /calendar/dav/YOUREMAIL@GMAIL.COM/user. Keep the Use Kerberos v5 for authentication unchecked.

Tip
In earlier versions of iCal, you may have to type the server address and path in yourself on one line.

Step 6: Sync the calendars
If you had to type the server address and path manually, click Add to finish syncing your Google calendar with iCal. Now any dates you add to your Google calendar will appear in iCal.
