Adding an Appointment in iCal
iCal is compact and easy to use, but don’t underestimate it. This little calendar program has a surprising amount of power. Its primary purpose, of course, is keeping track of your appointments. Adding new ones couldn’t be simpler, and reading iCal’s neatly color-coded calendar is as easy as it gets.
)
Click the Day or Week button to switch to Day or Week view.
Click the calendar to which you want to add the appointment.
Click and drag on the hour grid for the day of the appointment to define the time span for the appointment.
Type in the appointment text.
Tip: Filling in the Details
To refine your appointment entry, double-click the appointment and then click the Edit button at the bottom-right corner of the iCal window. Enter a location, add an alarm notification, set the appointment to repeat regularly, and more. You can also change the event’s calendar here.
