Subscribing to Calendars

You can subscribe to calendars that use the iCalendar (.ics) format. Many calendar-based
services, including Yahoo!, Google, and iCal on the Mac, support calendar subscriptions.

Subscribed calendars are read-only. You can read events from subscribed calendars on
iPad, but you can’t edit them or create new events.

Subscribe to a CalDAV or .ics calendar:

1

In Settings, choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Add Account.

2

Choose Other, then choose Add Subscribed Calendar.

3

Enter your account information, then tap Next to verify the subscription.

4

Tap Save.

Apple provides links to a number of free iCal calendars—for national holidays or sports
events, for example—that you may want to subscribe to.

You can also subscribe to an iCal (or other .ics) calendar published on the web, by
tapping a calendar link you receive in an email message on iPad.
