subscribed calendars to iCloud?

In my multiple iOS mobile devices I have the US Holidays added as a "Subscribed Calendar"

I would like them to appear also on my browser based iCloud Calendar (https://www.icloude.com/#calendar).

There is no way to subscribe to calendars for the iCloud App (Apple please consider this) so I am missing all these events there.

However I was hoping that since they appear on my iPhone/Pad they would get synchronized with the Windows desktop iCloud calendar.

That doesn't seem to be happeninng, however. Is there anyway to get the "ical.mac.com/ical/US32Holidays.ics" calendar subscription to work on the PC desktop?

iPhone 4, iOS 6

Don't think it will appear on icloud.com but you can add it to your calendar on a Mac (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5029). Not sure about a pc.

Right, but since I only have PCs here (other than iOS devices) I have to go with a PC solution.

I'm a little surprised that since all works on the phone/pad and they are sync'd with iCloud, that iCloud on the PC does not show an aggregate calendar.

There may be a way to do this, I'm just not that familiar with how on a PC. A quick google search found this: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/view-and-subscribe-to-internet-ca lendars-HA010167325.aspx#BM2 and this: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/add-or-remove-holidays-in-your-ca lendar-HP005242944.aspx.

randers4 -

Thanks for all your efforts, but I am NOT using Outlook. I am running the iCloud Calendar web page as a "App" in Google Chrome.

Works like a charm and is beautifully sync'd with changes I make there or on an iOS device. Indeed changes appear everywhere within less than 5 seconds typically.

I have everything I want on the mobile devices, I just can't get the US Holidays to show up in the web based browser iCloud window, as there seems to be no mechanism to push such additional calendars into the cloud, and the mobile devices do not seem to sync anything other than their "native" calendar.

Thus I am trying to get this holiday calendar to show up only on the web based browser viewed (on a PC) iCloud Calendar.

Same problem. All entries into iCal in MacBook, iPad or iPhone sync just fine, including any subscriptions. Just the web based icloud.com doesn't show ANY subscriptions on the site, which in my opinion is just plain stupid.

I mean, it's the CLOUD isn't it? Either things get synced to the cloud or they don't.

Apparently, after reading other threads about this same exact problem, the icloud.com will NOT show any of your calendar subscriptions.

I see this problem as Apple forcing you to keep up to date OS on Mac. I have a 3 generation old OS and iCloud is not used. This is why I use the web based version. There is now a free cloud program that you can download from apple to use for PCs, but they are very unsympathetic if you are a loyal Mac user and like the old OS.

That makes absolutely no sense.

In what way? Do I need to explain it more, or are you agreeing and saying that Apple is limiting.

Besides being a somewhat pointless add-on to a old thread, your statement is pretty much incoherent.

I stumbled across this thread in searching for the same answer. What I just found as a solution was an iOS app called "US Holidays 2013-2015" by Devart. Rather than subscribing to an internet calendar, this app lets you choose which holidays you want (through 2015), and adds them to your iOS calendar as if you had entered each one manually. Since they're now local entries, they will happily sync with iCloud. A quick and easy solution for me.

Thanks Captain K. That was exactly the solution I was looking for. Worked right away! By the time I opened up my iCloud Calendar on the PC, everything was there!

Why do subscriptions not show up on web based version? I don't get it.

Any other solutions. Am I missing something.

I have noticed the same, Ive swapped from google mail, and calendar, and given in to the apple iCloud ! everything is running nice, but i find the "options / settings" within the web based versions very minimal !

I can see my calendar in web based iCloud, and i've clocked the tick box that says subscribe to the "birthdays" calendar, however I want to see UK holidays in the calendar as well.

I can see them on my phone, and ipad, and on my iMac at home, but during the day at work they make me use windows ! even more frustrating its windows on a macbook !

I used to pop a few tabs open and just run my mail / calendar etc in the browser, but I'm finding icloud in the browser quite poor.

I've installed the windows "icloud" application but it would be really great if I had a few more settings in the browser based icloud apps.

Thanks,

Duane
