How to Export Apple Calendar to Google Calendar

Google Calendar is a powerful and flexible tool that lets you organize and access your events across devices. If you use Apple Calendar on your iPhone or Mac and want to move your calendar events into Google Calendar, this guide will walk you through a simple export and import process. This is a one-time transfer that gives you full control over which calendars and events are added to your Google Calendar.

What we'll cover:

1. Export Apple Calendar as a CSV file
2. Import Apple Calendar to Google Calendar
3. How to View your Transferred Calendar Events

Step 1: Export Apple Calendar from an iPhone as a CSV file

To move your calendar events from Apple Calendar to Google Calendar, you'll first need to export them from your iPhone or iPad. TouchCopy is a desktop app that allows you to save calendars from iOS devices to your computer in CSV format — ideal for importing into Google Calendar.

Exporting iPhone calendars as a CSV file using TouchCopy

1. Download and install TouchCopy on your computer.
2. Open TouchCopy and connect your iPhone using a USB cable.
3. Click the "Calendar" feature and wait for TouchCopy to back up your iPhone.
   
4. Select the calendars you want to save and click "Save as CSV" (PC) or "Copy to CSV" (Mac).
   
   
5. Choose a folder on your computer to save the CSV file(s). If you selected multiple calendars, a CSV file will be created for each calendar. This is helpful if you want to organize them individually in Google Calendar.

Step 2: Import the CSV Containing Your Apple Calendar to Google Calendar

Once you have your Apple Calendars exported as CSVs, you can import them into Google Calendar:

1. Open Google Calendar in your computer's web browser.
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", then "Create new calendar".
3. Click the cog in the toolbar and then click "Settings".
   
4. Select "Import & Export" on the sidebar.
   
5. Click "Select file from your computer" and choose the CSV file you exported with TouchCopy.
   
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 View your Transferred 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.
