To make sure you’ve gotten the events where you want them to go, you can deselect all but one calendar from your sidebar and examine them each in turn.Īgain, I’m paranoid! But sometimes (such as when you don’t want to lose precious event info), paranoia is a good thing. Under Yosemite with iCloud, however, this now moves the events to the new calendar, so you’ll see them disappear from the original. One important note, though-in older versions of OS X, this process would duplicate events onto the calendar you imported them to. Select “OK” afterward, and you’re done! The events from your exported calendar will merge with whichever one you chose in step 5, and then you can safely delete the original calendar by selecting it from the sidebar and pressing Command-Delete. Here’s how to import your entire Google Calendar to iCloud. A pop-up window will appear, asking you which calendar you’d like to import the events to. If you’re switching from Google Calendar to iCloud, you don’t have to manually re add each event. Within Calendar, choose File> Import, and then pick the. Save the resulting file out somewhere on your Mac.Ĥ. From the menus at the top, choose File> Export> Export.ģ. From the list on the left, select the calendar you’d like to export the events from.Ģ. I am nothing if not paranoid about your data, dear readers!Īnyway, here are the steps for merging calendars:ġ. If something goes horribly, horribly wrong, you’ll at least have a way to recover your stuff if you do that first. I strongly suggest that you make a backup of your calendars before you get started with this process.
If you want to have fewer calendars, though-or you’d just like to merge the existing events from one calendar onto another-there’s a really easy way to clean things up. I like separating my work and home life as much as possible, and the Calendar program provides a neat way to do that. I’m only using iCloud to sync my calendars, contacts, notes, and so on, as I’m not the biggest fan of using multiple services for that stuff.If you’re like me, you’ve got tons of color-coded calendars for organizing different types of events. Verify that you’ve got the same list turned on for your iPhone or iPad at Settings > Calendar > Accounts. That’ll make it seem like everything from one device is disappearing into the ether, never to be seen anywhere else! You can check which accounts you’ve got set to sync calendars on the Mac under System Preferences > Internet Accounts.Īny of your accounts that have “Calendars” listed in grey underneath their names are syncing that service with your Mac. But here’s one more thing: A syncing complaint I have to troubleshoot quite often is when a device is set to sync to a calendar (say, a Google one) and that particular calendar isn’t even configured on another of that person’s devices. Make those both the same calendar as I’ve done, and any events you add will by default go on that! Cool. On the iPhone and iPad, this option is listed under Settings > Calendar.
