Google Calendar is a popular calendar app which allows you to manage multiple calendars with a single Google account, from any device. If you use an iPhone and want to add your Apple Calendar events to Google Calendar without setting up ongoing syncing, you're in the right place.

First, we'll show you how to easily export your Apple Calendars from your iPhone to your computer. Then, we'll import those calendars into Google Calendar. This ensures a one-time transfer of your events, rather than a continuous sync, giving you full control over your calendars.

Step 1: How to export iPhone calendars as a CSV file

TouchCopy is a handy tool that lets you manage your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch data with ease. With the app's calendar export feature, you can export your Apple Calendars from your iOS devices to your PC or Mac. This then enables you to import all the important details, like event names and dates into other calendar apps, such as Google Calendar.

TouchCopy will export each of your chosen calendars as a separate CSV file to your computer, which is especially useful if you have multiple calendars to manage.

Exporting iPhone calendars as a CSV file using TouchCopy

  1. Download and install TouchCopy on your computer.
  2. Run TouchCopy and connect your iPhone using a USB cable.
  3. Click "Calendar" and wait for TouchCopy to back up your iPhone.

Step 2: How to Import Apple Calendar to Google Calendar

  1. Open your internet browser on your computer and go to https://calendar.google.com.
  2. Optional: If you don't want to import your Apple calendar events into an existing calendar, first create a new one. Click the "+" next to "Other calendars" > "Create new calendar". Enter the details and then click "Create calendar".
  3. Click the cog in the toolbar and then click "Settings".

  6. Select the calendar you want to import to, then click "Import".
  7. Click "Import" again to add all your Apple Calendar events to your chosen Google Calendar.

If you exported multiple calendars with TouchCopy, you'll need to repeat the steps above to import each one into Google Calendar.

How to Access Imported Calendar Events

Once you've imported your Apple Calendar events into Google Calendar, you can view them by opening Google Calendar in your web browser or app. Look for the calendar you imported into under "My calendars" on the left side of your browser window, or in the main menu of the app.

If the calendar is checked, its events will be shown in your calendar view. You can then switch between views like Day, Week, or Month to see your events in different views.
