Facebook events not showing up in my calendar

I thought facebook events were going to show up in our calendars with the new update. Mine is not doing that. Was I wrong about that's not is there anything I can do to fix it? Thanks!

Hello, I have had the same issue, the Facebook intergration with ioOS displays all the facebook events in the calendar - which can be a real pain if you have lots of events.


I have not found any option in iOS6 to filter by accepted events or to hide declined events. This is something Apple should really work on - sounds to me like they just bundled this into iOS6 without consideration for accepted or declined events.


So the workaround which I have found is to stop the facebook calendar in iOS6 (Settings/Facebook) and instead to subscribe to Facebook events and/or birthdays via the site straight into iCal. What is in your iCal will appear on all your devices so there you go. Make sure in FB to state that you don't want al events to be displayed. Then you'll be fine.


Use this link if you want http://www.wikihow.com/Sync-Facebook-Events-to-iCal


Make sure to go to the settings option on FB page to select which events you want displayed.


It lacks the neat little FB icon that would appear via the iOS intergration but lets hope Apple sorts this out quickly and that we'll be able to chose which events to display, accepted or rejected etc....


Hope this helps,

Ok.. not sure why this worked to fix mine (it was so frustrating figuring it out) but go to "Settings", "Mail,Contacts,Calendars", down to Calendar settings and change the Sync "Events # Months Back" to another settings. It cleared something out and the events appeared again. Changing it back to the original setting still kept the events on the calendar. Bug? Caching issue? Don't know...

This is what solved my problem for desktop iCal when all the above did not.

Open iCal > select CALENDAR on the menu bar > select PREFRENCES > Select ACCOUNTS > Bottom left of window select the plus + sign > select FACEBOOK > enter LOGIN info > iCal should now be updated from there on forward. I am still trying to solve the iPhone issue, so I will update this when I do.


Hope this helps anyone having the same issue.
