Help for Add to My Calendar

Adding events to Facebook is the same whether you're adding a single event or multiple events.

Tip You can add events only to the Events page in your personal Facebook account. You can't add events directly to Facebook business pages. If you're a Trumba account holder, learn more here.

1. Select Facebook.
2. If you're not already signed in to your Facebook account, click Connect with Facebook.
3. Type your sign-in credentials, and then click Log In.

   The first time you add an event, you'll be asked to give Trumba permission to access your account and manage events.

4. Select a Facebook event and access type.
5. Click Add to My Facebook.

   You see confirmation that the event has been added to your Facebook calendar.

What you see when you select Yahoo! calendar depends upon whether you're adding a single event or multiple events to your personal calendar.

If you're adding a single event

1. When you click Add to My Yahoo! Calendar, a new browser window opens. Sign in to your Yahoo! email account.
2. On the Yahoo! Calendar page, click Add to My Calendar.

   Your Yahoo! calendar appears with the event on it.

If you're adding multiple events

1. When you click Add to My Yahoo! Calendar, you're prompted to sign in to your Yahoo! email account. It's safe to sign in. We don't store or share your Yahoo! ID and password information.
2. Type your ID and password, choose the event type, and then click Add to My Yahoo! Calendar.
3. You see a confirmation message that says Done. From the menu on the left of the Event Actions window, choose another action you want to take with the events or click Close Window.

Depending upon which Internet browser and operating system you're using, you have different options for adding events to your Outlook calendar.

• Options with Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Windows XP or Vista™
• Options with another browser, such as Mozilla® FireFox®, Apple Safari™, or Internet Explorer with the Mac OS®

Options differ by browser because one of the options involves downloading an add-in. This add-in requires an Active X control. Internet Explorer on Windows supports Active X controls. Many other browsers don't.

Microsoft Internet Explorer and Windows

If you're using the Internet Explorer browser with Windows XP or Windows Vista, you'll have a couple of different experiences, depending upon what is already installed on your computer. After you select Microsoft Office Outlook Calendar, you might see:

If you see one button, an add-in called EventPlus is already installed on your computer.

If you see two or three options, EventPlus is not yet installed on your computer. Selecting Add directly to Outlook with EventPlus gives you the opportunity to install it.

To learn more about each of the three options, click the links below:

• Install and use the EventPlus add-in to add events directly to your Outlook calendar.
• Open the event as an appointment.

  You see this option only if you're adding a single event.

• Have a meeting request sent to you in email for every event you want to add.

Another browser or operating system

If you use Windows operating system and a browser other than Internet Explorer or if you use Mac OS with any browser, you'll see either:

• Two options.

  

• A request to provide an email address to have the meeting request sent to you in email.

  

To learn more about each option, click the links below:

• Open the event as an appointment.

  You see this option only if you're adding a single event.

• Have a meeting request sent to you in email for every event you want to add.

Install and use the EventPlus add-in

If EventPlus isn't already installed on your computer, the first time you add events using EventPlus, you must install the add-in.

After the add-in is installed, you can add events to your Outlook calendar with one click.

Note To install the EventPlus add-in, you must have Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1 on your computer. As of April 25, 2007, you could install version 1.1 (and the latest service pack) from this page on the Microsoft website. Even if you already have a later version (2.0) of .NET Framework on your computer, you still need to install version 1.1 for the EventPlus installation to work. The two versions of .NET Framework can co-exist on your computer without problems.

To install the add-in and add events

1. Click Add directly to Outlook with EventPlus.
2. Click Install EventPlus for Outlook.

   

3. In the File Download - Security Warning dialog box, click Run. Click Run again.
4. In the installer, click Next to accept the default settings and install EventPlus in the C:\Program Files\Trumba\CalendarSync\ folder. Click Close when the installation is finished.
5. Back in the web page, you see a confirmation message that says Done. From the menu on the left of the Event Actions window, choose another action you want to take with the events or click Close Window.

Next time you open your Outlook calendar, you'll see the events you just added.

Tip If you install EventPlus using the instructions described above, you can uninstall it at any time using Add/Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel.

To add events with EventPlus already installed

1. Click the Add to My Outlook Calendar button.

   

2. You see a confirmation message that says Done. From the menu on the left of the Event Actions window, choose another action you want to take with the events or click Close Window.

Next time you open your Outlook calendar, you'll see the events you just added.

Open the event as an appointment

If you're adding a single event, you can download the event as an iCalendar (.ics) file. The file opens as an Outlook meeting request that you can accept.

1. Click Open as a new appointment, and then click Download iCalendar File.

   

2. A dialog box opens. Exactly what the dialog box looks like depends upon which Internet browser you're using. If you have the option, click Open to open an Outlook meeting request. Click Save and Close to add the event to your calendar.

   If you must save rather than open the file, an iCalendar (.ics) file is downloaded to your computer. To add the event to your Outlook calendar, click the Calendar button in the Outlook Navigation pane. On the File menu, click Import and Export. In the Import and Export Wizard, select Import an iCalendar or vCalendar file, and then click Next. Locate the file, and then click OK.

3. Click Save and Close to add the appointment to your Outlook calendar.

Next time you open your Outlook calendar, you'll see the event you just added.

Receive meeting requests in email

If you choose to receive meeting requests in email, you'll receive event invitation messages. You can accept the invitation to add the event to your Outlook calendar.

1. Click Email me a meeting request.
2. Type your email address, and then click Send to My Outlook Calendar.

   

3. You see a confirmation message that says Done. From the menu on the left of the Event Actions window, choose another action you want to take with the events or click Close Window.

1. Click Add to My Windows Live Calendar.

   

2. If you see the Windows Live sign in page, sign in to your Windows Live account.
3. When adding a single event to your Windows Live calendar, you will be taken directly to the Windows Live Add an Event page. Your event information will be prepopulated in the form to the extent possible. You will be able to include additional information about the event, such as your Availability. Click Save to add the event to your Windows Live calendar.
4. When adding multiple events to your Windows Live calendar you'll see a page of links, one for each event. Click on each link and you'll see an Add an Event page for that event.
5. After you've added or decided not to add all of the events, you can close the page of event links. That will return you to the Event Actions window. From the menu on the left of the Event Actions window, choose another action you want to take with the events or click Close Window.

To add events to your iCal calendar, you download the events as iCalendar (.ics) files. When you open the files, iCal automatically starts and asks you to choose a calendar where you want the events added.

1. Click Download iCalendar File.

   

2. If your browser is set to open downloaded .ics files, iCal starts and prompts you to choose the calendar to which you want to add the downloaded events.

   Tip If you have not set your browser to open safe files after downloading, you'll have to import the iCalendar files into iCal.

3. You see a confirmation message that says Done. From the menu on the left of the Event Actions window, choose another action you want to take with the events or click Close Window.

Tip Content in the Notes field may get truncated. This happens because of a limit that Google places on the overall size of URLs used to add events to calendars.
