Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hi,
I just upgraded to 1.8.2 and I really like the Facebook integration in Contacts and Notifications. But what about Calendar?
On iOS all my Facebook events show up in a separat Calendar Section within Calendar (you know what I mean).
Am I missing something or is the Facebook integration in OSX currently incabale of that?
Thanks in advance
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
You're right in that a FB calendar is not enabled by default in OS X. You can add one yourself though:
Visit Facebook in Safari. Click 'Events' under your name on the left hand side of the page. Click the cog symbol at the top right (usually labelled 'Today'), select 'Export' from the drop down menu and click 'upcoming events'. Calendar will open and prompt you to subscribe to your FB events - give the new calendar a name and an auto-refresh period (e.g. daily), and set its location to 'On My Mac' rather than 'iCloud' (otherwise you'll end up with two FB calendars on your iPad/iPhone).

Do you happen to know why Apple didn't set it up where the Facebook events and birthdays weren't added automatically when signing into your Facebook account in OSX? They seem to have done it with iOS.
Thanks Nick, perfect answer, Thanks
