This put my main calendar in the choice to by synced under "options", but it still was not syncing all my calendars. I looked again at Menu/options/calendars. The only one there was the name of my main calendar. I tried highlighting it and clicking, and THERE were the choices of all my calendars with radio buttons that could be selected. I selected the ones I want, and synced, and it worked! To summarize: I enabled Gmail push, this brought my main calendar into the sync option. I highlighted and clicked the main calendar in menu/options/calendar, and was able to select the other calendars.

You may be able to get the older OS, or you'll have to wait for a new version of either GSync or the BB OS.

Redundant questions, but I'm assuming you are 100% sure you have the right username and password.. I'd also see if signing up for a new account, and using that, causes the same error. If it does, then it seems more like a communication problem between your Pearl and Google. Depending on who your provider is, they may provide technical support for BB. Otherwise, try one of the BB forums as well Good luck! Christine Hey Catherine,

If I add a phone number or email, it comes across. If I edit an existing field, such as adding "MD" after a doctor's name, that does not come across to the BB. Second, under google sync/options/calendar, ONLY the "default calendar" appears. I have uninstalled and re-installed Google Sync to no avail. I thought I saw forum discussion these somewhere but search as I might I can't find it again!! Any help greatly appreciated Ross I have two problems with Google Sync to my Blackberry Storm:
