Why cant I add US Holidays to the iOS 7 Calendar?

- open iCal on your Mac

- on the left under 'other' you see the 'Holidays' feed (with rss icon)

- click on it and select 'Get Info'

- change 'Location' from 'On My Mac' to 'iCloud'

The 'Holidays' feed moves from 'Other' to 'iCloud' in the left of iCal, and you now see the Holidays on your iDevice as well...

Great responses worked on iPad and iPhone, but so far nothing works on iMac. Problem seems to be that I never get the prompt to save on iCloud, which is the calendar I need to import the holidays into; they did flow into iCal, but I prefer to use the iCloud calendar, which syncs with my other devices.

Still looking for magic answer for how to import US holidays into iCloud calendar and/or how to access that elusive prompt everyone's mentioning about saving on iCloud - just never appears on my MacBook Pro.

Thanks so much!

From the mobile device itself, open Safari, go to www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/usholidaycalendar.html, select "download" link and you should get a popup to "subscribe" select that and it should download straight to your device. It worked for me. Hope this helps.

These steps worked Great! The steps also worke for iOS 6 as well.

Thank you, this is the only thing that worked for me!

Thank you, this is the only thing that worked for me!

I am so glad we have these troubleshooting forums. I entered the url to Safari on my macbook, and updated my calendar on the macbook, as well as my other devices (yippeeee!!!!).

It's not necessary to use a computer to add US Holidays to your iCal calendar on your iPhone. Go to settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Tap Add Account>Tap Other>Tap Add Subscribed Calendar>In the server field, input ical.mac.com/ical/US32Holidays.ical You can then name the calendar, then tap Save (you may get a pop up about SSL. Hit ok)

This worked great - I had to delete the calendars that I was already subscribed to (but stopped working) before clicking the link did the trick.

This worked. Thank you very much. But now I need to delete that calendar and I can't.

Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

You can go into settings>Mail, contacts, calendars,>subscribed calendars(us holidays)>US holidays>delete account.

It isn't showing up there.

Which calendar are you trying to delete?

I used this discussion to add a US holidays calendar. Now I'm trying to delete it.

iOS 7.1 automatically includes a holidays calendar (based on region preferences) that cannot be removed.

Now why doesn't Mavericks do this as well?
