Subscribing to Calendars

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

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

Subscribe to a calendar:

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

2Choose Other, then choose Add Subscribed Calendar.

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

4Tap Save.

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

Alerts

Set calendar alerts: In Settings, choose General > Sounds, then turn Calendar Alerts on. If Calendar Alerts is off when an event is about to occur, iPod touch displays a message but makes no sound.

Sound alerts for invitations: In Settings, choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendar.” Under Calendars, tap New Invitation Alert to turn it on.
