Copy data from the iPhone/iPod/iPad’s calendar into Google Calendar
However it contains at least one solution for this problem, it contains a function to copy the content of a calendar of the iPhone/iPod/iPad’s calendar app into a calendar of your Google Calendar account. This can be useful if you have existing data on your iPhone/iPod/iPad but would like to start using Google Calendar instead. Then you can copy your existing data this way and afterward disable “Show iPhone/iPod/iPad calendars” to work only with Google Calendar.
You can find this function under “Settings”, “Data Migration” if you have iOS4. It is only visible if “Settings”, “Display and Use”, “General”, “Show iPhone/iPod/iPad calendars” is turned on. There you can choose a source calendar, a time range and a destination calendar. It is recommended to use an empty destination calendar (please see here how to create additional calendars: Calendars). This way you can simply delete and re-create it if something goes wrong. You can create such an empty calendar by clicking “Add” under “My calendars” on the left of the Google Calendar website.
This “Data Migration” function will not check for existing events in the destination calendar. So if you run it twice, you will have all events twice in the destination calendar. That’s another reason why it is a good idea to use an empty destination calendar.
You can watch a video how the whole copy process should look like, just click the image below or download it from http://www.calengoo.com/DataMigration.mov.
