My master copy of calendars is in my Mac but when I connected my dad's iCloud account into my Mac, my calendars were automatically merged into that account. How do I "unmerge" my calendars into the iCloud account? I've tried ways like disconnecting the account from my Mac but all my calendar events were gone... when I checked the account from the internet, they were all there....
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Yes, I think I clicked on the "Merge" button without really looking into the details. Thanks for pointing out my wrong. My bad 🙂
You can't unmerge them.
The only way of getting back to the way things were is to restore your Mac calendars from the most recent backup you have made before you merged them.
Provided your and his calendars are still separate within iCloud - i.e. as long as you haven't merged events within one calendar, which can't be unpicked - you can move your calendars back from iCloud to 'On My Mac' so that they show on your Mac but not on iCloud. The method, which has to be applied one calendar at a time, is described in the second set of numbered instructions here:
First worth noting, "automatically merged" doesn't happen. You have to tell it to do that, but clicking the "merge" button.
Rogers instructions are good, but you may run into a problem with step 3. Commonly, there will be no "on my mac" when you go to re-import, while still connected to icloud. You'll have to export all the calendars first, sign out of icloud, and then re-import.
Thanks for the info, I've amended the page to take that into account.
This was what I'm looking for! I tried to export but it only did to one calendar. I didn't try to right click the individual calendar. Thanks!
Yes, once you've managed to import one calendar into another calendar, effectively merging them, you can only get rid of the unwanted events by deleting them individually.
yes
Unmerge calendars from iCloud?
