Q: imported local ICS files will not upload to iCloud

Although I follow the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4967 (iCloud: Manually Importing data....) there is no way iCloud will reflect the changes on my MacBook after I import each ICS file into the iCloud account. I am running ML. I tried several times both with iCloud calendard sync on and off (in system preferences) with no success.

I am really annoyed at iCloud and the mess it has created with my Mac Calenders and Notes. There is no wat to push from the Mac to the Cloud, rather than the cloud overriding every device??

I found my own answer following two main steps:

1. Follow these instructions for the calendars you want on iCloud from today onwards. Its tedious but it works in the end.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4337?viewlocale=en_US

Article: TS4337 --- iCloud: Advanced Calendar and iCal troubleshooting

2. Follow this tip for any other calendars you want to access but not on iCloud (e.g. archived calendars of old clients, projects, etc.)

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4146260?start=15&tstart=0

essentially only disable the iCloud account from inside Calendars preferences,
and start importing calendars. When you enable again iCloud (from Calendars perefences) you will have both sets (looking as 2 accounts)
