Part 2. How to Send Calendar from iPhone to Mac Using iTunes/Finder

iTunes (or Finder for macOS Catalina and later) can sync iPhone calendars to your Mac, but it does so by overwriting all the data, meaning it will replace the calendars on your Mac with the ones from your iPhone. Therefore, please make sure that the data on your Mac is backed up before using this feature.

Here is how to transfer calendar from iPhone to Mac using iTunes/Finder:

Step 1. Open iTunes on your Mac (or Finder for macOS Catalina and later).

Step 2. Connect your iPhone to the Mac using a USB cable and unlock your iPhone.

Step 3. Click the device icon in the iTunes interface to go to the "Info" tab.

Step 4. Check the "Sync Calendars" option, then choose either "All calendars" or "Selected calendars".

Step 5. Click the "Apply" button to begin syncing your iPhone calendars to your Mac.

Part 3. How to Sync Calendar from iPhone to Mac with iCloud

iCloud is the official syncing method provided by Apple, which automatically keeps your iPhone calendar in sync with your Mac without manual intervention. However, iCloud relies on an internet connection and may encounter synchronization issues. (How to free up iCloud storage?)

Here is how to sync iPhone and Mac calendar with iCloud:

Step 1. On your iPhone, open "Settings" and tap your "Apple ID" (the personal avatar at the top). Go to "iCloud" and, in the list of apps using iCloud, find "Calendars" and make sure its toggle is turned on.

Step 2. On your Mac, click the "Apple menu" in the top left corner > "System Settings" (for macOS Ventura and later) or "System Preferences" (for macOS Monterey and earlier).

Step 3. Select "Apple ID", then click "iCloud". In the iCloud options, ensure that "Calendars" is turned on.

Step 4. Make sure both your iPhone and Mac are connected to Wi-Fi. After a few minutes, your iPhone calendar data will automatically sync to the "Calendar" app on your Mac.

Bonus: Why Is iPhone Calendar Not Syncing with Mac?

There are several reasons why your iPhone calendar might not sync with your Mac:

• iCloud Syncing Disabled: If iCloud is not enabled for calendars on either device, they won't sync. Make sure that "Calendars" is turned on in both your iPhone and Mac's iCloud settings.
• Internet Connection Issues: Since iCloud syncing requires an internet connection, poor or unstable Wi-Fi might cause syncing failures.
• Outdated Software: If either your iPhone or Mac is running outdated software, it may cause syncing issues. Ensure that both devices are running the latest versions of iOS and macOS.
• Apple ID Mismatch: If you're signed into different Apple IDs on your iPhone and Mac, they won't sync with each other. Ensure that both devices are using the same Apple ID.

In a Nutshell

There are three ways to help you transfer calendar from iPhone to Mac. If you want to efficiently, securely, and flexibly manage your iPhone calendar, Coolmuster iOS Assistant is the best choice.
