iCal 101 - Setting up mulitiple calendars

iCal Setup 

Setting iCal can seem tricky but with a few tips anyone can do it.

1. Open iCal by clicking the iCal icon in the dock

2. A Screen displays with all your current calendars. If you haven't set up calendars than this will be blank.

3.   Click the Calendars button to see all of your current calendars. If this is your first time this might be blank. NOTE: Calendar Philosophy - I set up a calendar for every major thing that I do at HCA. I have one for School Calendar/Schedule, Tutoring, Laptop Reservations, and my email calendars.

4. Adding Calendars - Adding a Calendar is as simple as clicking File/New Calendar, an untitled blank will appear where you can rename your newly created calendar. In the screenshot I created a teacher reservations calendar.

4. Setting up different Calendars - when setting up different calendars they will be color coded. It is easy to set them up and then you can selectively see what you have going on. For instance I only want to see what I have for Laptop Reservations so I uncheck all the other calendars and voila, I see only the information I want to see.
