If you would like to set up an alert for the event (a push notification to remind you about the event), choosing a start time will make this a bit easier. After choosing a start and end time, you can also tap "repeat" to create multiple events like this one. This is great for bill reminders, weekly activities, and many other things. You can select many different patterns such as every two weeks, every three days, and once a month on the third Wednesday. You can only set reminders to occur at certain intervals. For example, if you are scheduled to hold a conference call at 2:00, there is no way to set up an alert one minute before. If you specified an address for the event, you can be notified when it's time to leave (based on current traffic conditions). Or choose form a few other options like 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour early. There are several ways to take a peek at your schedule, each perfect for a different occasion. For starters, tap the arrow in the top left to zoom out, then click on what you want to see in more detail. To get a run-down of all of the upcoming events in order, tap the rectangle with two lines underneath. To bring it to the top of the list, find the three horizontal lines next to "Calendar" then hold and drag them to place the app where you like. To sync with Outlook or iCal, plug your mobile device into your computer. In iTunes, go to the sync settings. Under "Info," checkmark "sync contacts with" and then select your calendar of choice.
One of the strong points of iPhone’s Calendar is the ability to access calendars created by other people and see those events on your iPhone. You may learn about these events through electronic invitations — invitations that are sent via e-mail — or from a public calendar site where you can search for published calendars. An iCalendar or .ics file is the standard file type for exchanging calendar information. Calendar, Outlook, and Google Calendar support the .ics standard. If you receive an e-mail with an invitation to an event attached, the invitation probably has the .ics suffix. Accept the invitation and the event is automatically added to your calendar. The event is synced to any other devices signed in to the same calendar account. Decline to refuse the invitation. Maybe to postpone your decision to attend the event or not. Whichever response you choose is sent to the person who sent the invitation.
If you receive a list of events in Mail, tap the calendar file within the message. When the list of events appears, tap Add All. Choose the calendar where you want to add the events, and then tap Done. If you receive an invitation to a calendar, you can choose to Decline or Join Calendar. If you decline, an e-mail informs the sender of your decision. If you join, an e-mail informs the sender of your decision and the calendar is added as one of your calendars in Calendar. You can choose to view or hide that calendar’s events by selecting or deselecting it in the calendars list. Some organizations post a subscription link on their website so you can automatically receive notifications of their events. Tap Safari on the Home screen. Type the URL for the calendar sharing site you want to use. Find the calendar you want to add, and then tap the Subscribe to Calendar button. Tap the appropriate response, such as Open, Subscribe or Add Calendar, in the dialogs that appear. The calendar is automatically added to Calendar and appears on the calendar list. Tap Settings→Mail, Contacts, Calendar. Tap Add Subscribed Calendar (near the bottom of the screen). Type in the server address for the calendar on the Subscription screen. The server address is verified and a Subscription screen appears. You may have to enter a username and password to have access to the calendar. Some calendar providers ask you to use SSL (secure socket layer) for security reasons. The calendar appears on the calendar list in the Calendar app.
