I have an iPhone and an iPad, but use a PC at work. I would like to import a calendar from my PC to my iCloud. I've exported the calendar as an .ics file, but can't find anything online instructing me how to import it into iCloud. Help please.
Thank you.
iPhone 4S, Windows XP
I have done extensive research and it appears that this can't be done. A couple of people said you can email your .ics file to the iOS device, click on the file and you will be prompted to add the events to the calendar. But this process failed for me, and when I tried it a second time, I didn't get the "add all" option any more. I'm guessing the 4000 or so events were too much for the phone's processing and syncing capabilities. Anyway, Apple's failure to support a basic function like .ics import on Windows means that I won't be using iCloud anytime soon. It's too bad, because I would appreciate the ability to set a reminder on the desktop and have it work on the phone, which I can't do with my Gmail calendar.

Resurrecting this thread . . . There still does not seem to be a way to do this directly from the Windows web iCloud, but it does work on iOS 8 to mail the .ics file to my iPhone 4s. Clicking on the attachment from Mail on the phone allowed me to add it to Calendar with no problems.
Thanks! This has been driving me nuts since I started using iCloud
How can I import an .ics calendar to iCloud from Windows?
