Q: How to Set a Default Calendar for New Events in Calendar on Macbook Pro

Although I've researched this question in the forums, I'm still without a resolution. New events default to the "Calendar" calendar in the On My Mac set of calendars even when it's initially unchecked and hidden in the Calendars list.

 

I don't see a place in Calendar preferences or in System Preferences>iCloud to make any changes. I'd like new events I write into Calendar to default to the "Calendar" calendar in my iCloud.com account.

 

Any thoughts?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4), iPad mini WiFi, 9.2, iPhone 9.2

    Well, okay, here's the scoop:

    To set the the default calendar, open Calendar, choose Calendar > Preferences, then click General.

    Default Calendar

    The calendar where new events are added by default. If you choose “Selected calendar,” then the highlighted calendar in the Calendar list is the default calendar.
