Q: How can I subscribe to a calendar if I don't have a Mac?

I'm using an iphone and a pc with icloud.com.  I need to sync my Google calendar (and other calendars) with my icalendars, but I can't figure out how to subscribe to other calendars from icloud.com.  I was able to sync Google and ical on my iphone, but I need to see all calendars on my pc as well.

 

Thanks!

    I know this is ironic, but to sync google calendar to iphone you just need to add google email to the phone - which you already done.

    Your next step is to see that calendar to PC and you came to wrong forum, that is something between google and your Windows Microsoft forum.

    As far as seeing icloud calendars on your PC you can do that online at icloud.com or you need to install icloud control panel for email client like Microsoft Outlook.

    Sorry I wasn't clear.  I was able to sync on my iphone without issue.  I have the icloud manager for windows installed on my pc, and was able to sync with outlook, but my icalendars show up in outlook, instead of my outlook calendars showing up in icloud.  I'd like to avoid using outlook at all, but it was the only option Apple support gave me for syncing a Google calendar to icloud using Windows. So I sync'd my Google calendars to outlook, now I need to sync them to icloud.

     

    Thanks again.

    Definitely I misunderstood, you were perfectly clear, I just now realized looking back. Neither of the companies provides you with option to sync Google and Icloud. Those are two independent servers having your personal information and allowing you to save and protect that calendar information from each other as well. So while phone is allowing you to view your calendars together in phone interface, none of the information is exchanged between Google and Apple.

    Now as far as your PC - Icloud allows you to see your calendars in Outlook, there is no other client that I know it is compatible with so it is the next part I am unclear on.

    Either you are asking how to see those Google calendars in Outlook and in that case I would recommend to discuss that with Google/Microsoft support or you telling me that your local Outlook calendars didn't upload in to icloud and in that case follow these steps.

    If that article is not helpful I can recommend to take that discussion to thread that supports PC with icloud.
