Create a New Calendar

Keep track of the schedules of selected family, friends, or colleagues. If you share a user account on your Mac with other family members, you can view their individual calendars in iCal.

To create a new calendar, click the New Calendar button (the plus sign) in the bottomleft corner, and type a name for the new untitled calendar. Click the new calendar in the Calendars list, then click the Show Info button to open the Info drawer. Choose a color for the calendar from the pop-up color menu found in the top-right corner of the Info drawer (shown below).

To change the color of a calendar, select the calendar (click once on its name) in the Calendars list, click the Show Info button, then choose a color from the popup menu in the Info drawer (below-right).

To change a calendar name, double-click the name in the Calendars list, then type a new name.
