Cannot synchronize Lighting & Google calendars using Provider ver 1.0.4
I have added Provider Ver 1.0.4 and followed (several) of the instructions published. I can see the Google calendar and the events entered there, but when I synchronize none of the events entered in the local Thunderbird calendar get posted in Google.
I do not have a problem displaying both calendars in Thunderbird, but would like to add events on the local calendar, invite (or accept) people from there so it comes from my eMail address, and then have the calendar synchronize with Google so I get a reminder on my iPad and/or iPhone when away from the office. Is this possible? If so, please let me know how.
Thanks in advance,
Lee

Further to my problem above: Whether I create the Google calendar link with Provider or ust through CalDAV, I can see the Google calendar events on Lightning, but cannot see the events created with Lightning on Google on either anoter device or connecting through web. If I create an event in Google, Lightning will synchronize and show those. I can also delete them from Google through Lightning, and then they go away on Google. I think there must be a Google setting that I am missing that would allow me to create an event and have Google added when I synchronize, but for the live of me I cannot find it. I have added my (Thunderbird) address to Google settings giving permission to add/modify/manage or just modify, but still the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Have a good weekend, Lee

There is no such thing as a 'Thunderbird address'. For Google Calendar you'd need to login with your Google credentials. Wrt Lightning, you'll be prompted for your credentials when setting up the calendar. With Provider v1.0.4 this is a whole lot easier than in the past. All it takes now are your Google account credentials.
Thanks Cist1. Maybe I was not clear enough. By "Thunderbird Addrees" I meant the eMail address I use with Thunderbird, to distinguish from my Google address. In the Google settings there is a field to give others permission to read, read/write, and read/write, and manage your events. I included the (non Google) eMail address that Thunderbird uses in the hopes that it would allow Thunderbird/Lighting to "manage" the events on Google calendar. Obviously, it did not make any difference.
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Lee
As said before, you authenticate with your Google credentials when creating your Google Calendar in Lightning. There is no need to allow any other email addresses.
I'd suggest you delete your Google Calendar in Lightning, restart Thunderbird, and then try again to set up your Google Calendar.
Use the Provider add-on, the setup procedure is straight forward.
Enter your Google credentials when prompted.
