tried it with several new urls. Still nothing.
It appears that there are users that are successfully syncing. Can you tell us what your setup is?
what browser, device, OS. It would be nice to narrow this down a bit.

I have tried it on windows XP, windows 7, fedora core 17 all using firefox. Maybe that is the issue...
This is the error that I have been receiving for the last two days.

Settings Error
The address that you provided did not contain a calendar in a valid iCal or GData format.

I attempted to the sync by url again. This time by using windows XP and internet explorer. Again, the same error as described above. This is just the church wide calendar, I am unsubscribed to all other calendars.
The test this morning was with a new sync url. any more ideas

My sync which has been working isn't working from a browser either. I've PMed Lisa to ask if the sync system is down.

Yeah, we know and it's in the queue to be worked on. We are just a wee bit swamped right now. Thanks for your patience.

Thank you for your response. What could be more important than a sync'd calendar on my phone?
Seriously though, is there anything that I can help test?

I am happy to be patient, but just wondering if you would be able to forecast when you expect to get the syncing issue fixed?

At present, I am successfully able to 'sync' the calendar framework into my google calendar, but unable to sync the actual events of my lds.org calendar aren't coming with it.

Thanks for everything.

This no longer works for me. I am really out of luck until it gets fixed. It was good while it lasted.

Just thought I would chime in and add my voice to the chorus - I am unable to sync to iCal and have been for several days.

Using an iMac. Tried downloading with both Safari and Chrome.

I also have a 32 digit character at the end of my sync URL.

Ditto here. I use iCal and iCloud on a Mac to sync with the Stake Calendar and then have it on my iPhone and iPad - something that has been working for many months and which is a wonderful feature of the new Church technologies. Like many others are reporting here, however, synchronization stopped several days back and I haven't been able to get it going again since. Just waiting patiently for a fix....
