Google Calendar Infinite Loop Solved

I haven't been able to access my Google Calendar in Safari for nearly two months. I probably spent about 20 to 40 minutes a week over the past few months trying to track down the cause or a fix. Today I finally found the solution in the Google Calendar Help Group. It was posted on January 29th of this year. I don't know why it took me so long to find. I looked pretty hard.

The official fix is to just delete your cookies. I think this is lame, though. My cookies are in there for a reason. They actually make my life easier, so I'm reluctant to delete them. Instead of deleting all of them, I deleted only the Google Calendar specific cookies.

In Safari, go to Safari > Preferences > Security > Show Cookies, then type google in the search field. Delete the cookies with /calendar in the path column:

Safari Cookies

It also may be worth while to note that Google Calendars doesn't officially support Safari 3 on Mac OS X 10.5.

Currently, Google Calendar fully supports the following browsers: Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0, Firefox 1.0.7+, or Safari 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 (for Mac OS X 10.4).

Well, I don't officially like Google Calendars. I just use them because of work.
