The standard allows products from many vendors to transfer calendar information between each other. The iCalendar open standard should not be confused with iCal, the former name for the commercial product "Calendar" developed by Apple Computer. The pairing of these two individuals from competing software companies highlighted the need at that time for companies to work together to provide interoperability standards between calendar products.
This interoperability continues to the present day extending support to new technologies such as web site calendar services, smart phones and tablets.

Apple thinks that the week begins on Sunday; you might think it starts on Monday or Saturday—or wish it started on Thursday and ended on Friday. You can also change how much of the calendar flies past when you scroll in week view. The next section is a bit more fun. Just as you can set the first day of the week, so you can also set the time the day starts and ends.
The default calendar is an outstanding choice. Digital calendars are platforms on which you can build multiple schedules. By placing particular kinds of events onto specific calendars, you can share those events with specific groups of people. But for now, you have to choose which of your calendars you want to set as the default.
You can also select other calendars to display by default. Deciding which calendar to show first is useful as a preference setting. First, you can select the account. Apple lets you set different alerts for the events shared from your iCloud calendar, or your Google Calendar, or any other calendar.
You can also set different alerts for different kinds of events. So you can be notified of regular events ten minutes before the event begins, for example. For events that last all day, you might prefer to receive an alert the day before. And for birthdays, you might want to have a few days notice so that you have time to buy a gift or organize a party. There are about half a dozen checkboxes here, and most of them are pretty basic. More important are the options to open events in separate windows and asking before sending changes to events.
The final option is the most important. The downside is that it can be a little creepy. Those are the preferences and those are the settings that will determine how your iCal behaves. When you first open iCal, you start with a default calendar.
But you probably already have a calendar. You can bring events from other platforms from within the Preferences sections. Adding Google Calendar events to Apple Calendar. Google Calendar has access to a ton of information, not all of which you might want to bring to iCal. In addition to your calendar entries, it can also bring over your notes, your contacts, and your messages. Choose the content to import to Apple Calendar.
You can repeat the process for any other calendar you use, selecting iCloud, Yahoo, or Exchange as appropriate and enter your account details.

You might want to create separate calendars for your sports club, for your family events, or for your family birthdays, for example.
The first benefit is that you can share those calendars with others without revealing other events. Creating different calendars allows you to share some dates but not others, and it keeps certain parts of your life private. The other benefit is that different calendars will enable you to keep different parts of your life organized.
You can also make some of those events invisible. Unchecking a calendar removes it from view and makes your schedule easier to see. A new calendar will be added to the list on the left of the screen. Enter a name for the calendar. Apple then automatically assigns your calendar a color. Bear in mind that when you delete a calendar, you lose all of its events. Be sure that you want to delete it and not just hide it. The benefit of creating new calendars is that you can share your schedule with other people.
There are two ways to do that. One way is to delegate an entire account. You might see your iCloud account here, for example, and your Google account. The big space on the right shows information about that account.
It also provides an option to delegate that account. Enter the name of the person you wish to grant access to your calendar account then select their name from the contact list. What they will be able to do with your account will depend on the nature of the account.
Next to each calendar in the list on the right is a broadcast icon. The easiest is to enter the names or email addresses of the people you want to share your calendar with.
You can create new calendars. But you can also subscribe to calendars that other people have created and made available. The benefit of this feature is that it lets you quickly add a set of events that you might need, such as national holidays or sports schedules.
Those events will be laid over your calendar. A quick search should lead you to it. You can add as many of these calendars as you want, set the frequency with which they refresh, and add alerts and attachments. Apple makes that pretty easy.
