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:

1In Settings, choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Add Account.

2Choose Other, then choose Add Subscribed Calendar.

3Enter your account information, then tap Next to verify the subscription.

4Tap 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.
