This brief tutorial will guide you through the steps required to export Facebook events and import them to iCal or Entourage on your Mac.
- Find the Facebook event you want to add to iCal/Entourage and click the Export button.
- Save the .ics file to your desktop or downloads folder.
- Navigate to that downloaded .ics file and double-click it.
- iCal will pop up a window asking you which calendar you want to add the event to. Select the appropriate calendar and click OK.
- And now that event will be added to iCal
- If you want to add the event to your Microsoft Entourage calendar, right-click (ctrl-click) the .ics file and select Open With and then Microsoft Entourage.
- Entourage will open (if it isn’t already) and add that event to your calendar.
- Now that the event has been stored in iCal and/or Entourage, you can delete the .ics file.
