How to Sync MobileMe, iCal & Google Calendar
There are a number of calendar programs available for your Macintosh computer, but managing them so they contain the same information requires a synchronization service. Keep your appointments and to-do lists in order on your MobileMe and Google Calendar account through iCal, the default application on Mac OS X. Once the Google calendar account and the MobileMe account are set up on your Macintosh computer, the calendar information pushes and fetches update calendar data based on the frequency in your push settings.
