Setting Up and Organizing Your Calendar in iPhone4S



Apple iPhone 4S is one of the most powerful smartphones in the market today. You’ll be able to do a lot of things with the iPhone’s fifth generation; one of them is setting up and organizing your calendar. Calendar is one of the core applications on mobile devices. The Calendar app, which has been included in iOS when it was launched in 2007, assists and helps you keep track of what you're doing. There are several ways to use the calendar -- you can either simply use it by itself or you can sync it with iCloud, Microsoft, Google Calendar, and others. It is the default way to add and find appointments and events. Setting up your calendar is smooth and as easy as what you think since each calendar gets its own color. You can conveniently hide or show individual calendars. If you don't need them anymore, you can simply and easily delete them as well.


If you want to create calendar on your iPhone, please refer to the following steps:

From your iPhone’s Home screen, launch the Calendar app.


Tap on the Calendars button.

Tap the Edit button.


Tap on Add Calendar.


Give your calendar a name by tapping the name field.


Then tap the color you prefer to use for your calendar. For example, we chose Green.


Tap the Done button after choosing the colour and giving a name to your calendar.

Your calendar will be added and you can start creating events and appointments.

To delete calendars on your iPhone, simply go back to the Calendar app then tap on the Calendars button located in the upper left-hand corner of the Calendar application. Tap the blue arrow next to the calendar name you'd like to delete. Scroll the way down to the bottom and tap the Delete Calendar button. The calendar you deleted will no longer show up on your iPhone.


Let's discuss the steps in setting up Google Calendar on an iPhone 4S. As of January 30, 2013, Google stopped allowing new iPhones, iPads, and other devices to be set up using Google sync. The existing Google sync setups will keep working, that's why the next time you want to add Google calendar to your device, you need to use a different service like Google CalDAV. CalDAV is an Internet standard that is used to sync Google calendar with your iPhone 4S or other Apple iOS devices. To sync with your device, first you need to go to Settings from your device's Home screen. Then go to Mail, Contacts, and Calendars. Select Add Account, and then select Gmail. Fill up the following information -- in the Name field, enter your name as you'd like it to appear on others. In the Email field, enter your full Google Account or Google Apps email address. In the Password field, enter your Google Account or Google Apps password. If you are a 2-step verification user, please use an application-specific password instead of your regular password in this field. In the Description field, enter a description of the calendar (example: Personal Calendar). Select Next at the top of your screen. Make sure the Calendars option is turned on. After the setup is complete, open the Calendar app on your device. Syncing will automatically begin. Please take note that by default, only your primary calendar will be synced with your device.

If you have additional calendars that you would like to sync, please visit the following page from your device's mobile browser: https://www.google.com/calendars/syncselect. Google apps users can go to https://m.google.com/sync/settings/. You can select the calendars you'd like to sync, then click Save. The selected calendars will be displayed on your device at the time of the next sync.

Syncing via CalDAV is only available for Apple devices running software version 3.0 or higher. You can check your software version by tapping Settings on your device's Home screen. Then tap General, and then tap About. Your device's software version is listed next to Version.

Setting up and organizing calendar on your iPhone 4S is a great way to stay organized! You can easily keep track of all your events and appointments right from your smartphone.
