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?

I would select the "on your Mac" calendar (do this one calendar at a time), and FILE/Export.../Export.
Then select your iCloud Calendar and FILE/IMPORT and select your file that you just exported.

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.
I just used this same method on my iPhone. Thank you Daniel!
Maybe you can help me. At first I was having the same problem, then followed your directions and now the calendars are showing up under icloud calendars on icloud.com. But all of the events I had on my mac under these calendars is now gone, so there's nothing showing on the actual calendar itself. All my events disappeared when I initally sync'd my iCal to iCloud. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks !
Daniel's directions helped me, too. However, now I have double, triple or even quadruple identical entries for most events. I'm sure there's a way to fix. Can someone help?
Thanks.
This worked perfectly. Thanks for your help.
It's 2017 and you're still a saviour! Thank you! Worked perfectly!
Thank you, kind sir. I've had this problem for years, and I think this finally solved it.
haha that works; just turn it off and back on again; badabing badaboom
