Hi all,

I've read and followed (to the T) the how-to from the front page, but I cannot get more than one calendar to appear on my Lumia 820. Does it only work if all the calendars are registered to the same account? As the calendar I am trying to add is shared with my from someone else and is really important!

Yes, and it's selected and saved. But it still doesn't show up on my phone. The account is added as an outlook account rather than gmail.

That could be your problem. The outlook account method is exchange or EAS and google is ending support for it (jan 30th I believe) but google might be doing it early. Try re-doing it as an imap account for email, a caldav for calendar, and cardav for contacts. Once that is done then do the m.google.com/sync to get the multiple calendars.

Google is only ending new devices, existing devices with EAS will continue to work. It's ending today so you might be out of luck in terms of re-setting it up. WP should have had an option for "Gmail" when you went to add accounts didn't it? Why'd you set it up as an Outlook account? I'm not sure if Win8/WP8 supports caldav and cardav, and IMAP is so much worse than EAS. Unfortunate.

I set it up as EAS as wp8 only allows push notifications for one google account at a time. I have it set to google now though, but no calendar as of yet :(

This is crazy. I google the problem (again) and followed a different set of instructions (the official google one) here http://support.google.com/a/users/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2450384

And when viewing the mobile page, got a totally different screen to what i've seen before. Fixed it, piece of cake. Just don't know why it didn't before!

When I did it before, I didn't have the option to select which device to change settings for. Weird!<br>post-276090-0-40989300-1359545854.jpg<br>post-276090-0-50829300-1359545860.jpg

Oh I think I know what you ran into. I copied the link I gave you from some googling and forgot the settings part. It used to work fine but at some point Google changed it so you can only get to the actual management page with the longer link. I ran into that same issue a while ago and promptly forgot about it :p

I know with Windows 8, they made it so only 1 Google Calendar could be synced natively for "bandwidth" reasons. I got around this by subscribing to my calendars privately using my Microsoft account.

or you could just disable js and change the part in the URL where it says multiplecalendars = false to true.

      Internet Download Manager (IDM) 6.43 Build 2 by Razvan Serea Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a tool to increase download speeds by up to 8 times due to its smart dynamic file segmentation technology.

Comprehensive error recovery and resume capability will restart broken or interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns, or unexpected power outages. All popular browsers are supported IDM integrates seamlessly into Google Chrome, FireFox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, Maxthon and all other popular browsers to automatically handle your downloads. You can also drag and drop files, or use Internet Download Manager from command line. The program supports proxy servers, ftp and http protocols, firewalls, redirects, cookies, authorization, MP3 audio and video content processing. IDM includes web site spider and grabber IDM downloads all required files that are specified with filters from web sites, for example all pictures from a web site, or subsets of web sites, or complete web sites for offline browsing. It's possible to schedule multiple grabber projects to run them once at a specified time, stop them at a specified time, or run periodically to synchronize changes. Easy downloading with one click When you click on a download link in a browser, IDM will take over the download and accelerate it. You don't need to do anything special, just browse the Internet as you usually do. IDM will catch your downloads and accelerate them. IDM supports HTTP, FTP, HTTPS and MMS protocols. Changes in Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 2: Resolved the problem that caused a "403 Forbidden" error when downloading some files Fixed a problem causing IDM download panel not to appear on some websites Fixed a bug that caused a crash when converting some TS files to MP4 Download: Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 2 | 11.9 MB (Shareware) Links: Internet Download Manager Website | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      It's in Experimental (26H2). Settings->Windows Update->Windows Insider Program. Then a) select Experimental, b) below that, select "Advanced Options" (where you will see the three options for "Experimental" builds -> select 26H2 (name change from 25H2 is rolling; so might be 25H2)
