Transferring "On my Mac" calendars to "iCloud"

I want to start using iCloud to sync my calendars. I see that I now have the "on my mac" calendars that I have been using for the past few years, and I also have two new "iCloud" calendars. So how do I move the "on my mac" calendars to become "iCloud" calendars"? Or do I (can I?) move the appointments in those calendars?

iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 duo, Mac OS X (10.7)

It wasn't working for me, but is now.

Open iCal.

Go to Sys Prefs >> iCloud.

Turn off Calendars.

Go to iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID.

Check that the calendars are not present.

Go back to Sys Prefs and turn Calendars back on.

Choose Merge.

Wait whilst it "Upgrades" your calendars.

Once it has fininshed, check that they appear on the iCloud.com calendars.

Go back to iCal and click the Calendars button to see them all listed under iCloud.


I had a problem previously where it either hung whilst upgrading or the process finished without moving the calendars. I just tried it again and it worked.
