Guys like you should make more videos. You got to straight to the point and didn't waste any words. I develop software, but I hate tech. Every time I try to learn someone else's "brilliant" ideas it's like slogging through Hell with a broken translator set to "Moron". You made all that better... thank you!

[@TheMacWhisperer]

Thank you! we are prepping or a large volume of new videos so sit tight.

[@richardrosenblum728]

As a senior, I looked at many calendar videos to become more efficient, your explanation was slow and easy to follow, I learned a lot of things that have alluded me in the past. Thank You.

[@TheMacWhisperer]

Glad it was helpful! Please let me know if there are any specific lessons you would like me to teach!!

[@richardrosenblum728]

I'm a senior and looked at many calender videos, this was the best explanation in a slow and precise manner....good job.

[@TheMacWhisperer]

Literally the best breakdown of the Apple calendar EVER!!! Thank You

[@TheMacWhisperer]

Thank you so much! ;)

[@gordonb1737]

I’m glad I stumbled upon this channel. As a longtime Android user, I recently bought an I-pad mini. I like it well enough that I’m researching going all in with Apple.

[@TheMacWhisperer]

Apple is an amazing ecosystem… But one of the challenges is if you are half in you only get half of the value. Going full in everything talks to everything, you can copy something on your phone and paste it on your computer… You take pictures and they show up on all of your devices. You sync and share notes, and all of your websites Are instantly synchronize across every device. When you are fully in the ecosystem it’s a magical experience. Let me know if you have questions about any Apple devices or services.

[@gordonb1737]

@@TheMacWhisperer I do have 1 quick question. When you plug an I-phone into a MacBook; does the phone become part of the file manager like Android does on Windows?

[@TheMacWhisperer]

Not really, but you don’t need it to because since everything is synchronized through Apple everything on the phone is already a part of the computer. It shares the same file structure and the photos already sync up… So all the reasons that an android needs to act like a USB flash drive or just irrelevant on an iPhone. There are ways that you can make it act like a USB drive… But it just isn’t necessary.

[@kellygundersen4228]

This was so helpful, and the best tutorial of all the ones I checked out. You are great at making the content understandable and easy to do on my own phone as I followed along. I GET IT NOW!!! Thank you!

I have just checked various tutorials and quickly had to let go of them😏. This one is so clear and structured, and absolutely well presented. ❗️Very easy and pleasant to follow along. Thanks a lot 👍👍👍👍

[@TheMacWhisperer]

Thank you ;)

[@zoesmomify]

16:05 how do I highlight a block of days such as if I have a vacation that is going to last for five days?

[@TheMacWhisperer]

Try to control/right-click the calendar entry in the left-hand sidebar and choose an existing color or choose Custom Color. :)

[@lluvia4625]

New subscriber and follower. Thank you for such a clear and easy to follow explanation. Quick question: Is it possible to organize my appointments in alphabetical order?

[@TheMacWhisperer]

Welcome!! Sorry to say, but no you really can't do that through the Apple Calendar on the iPhone. There may be a third party app that has that option. Also, this video is a little outdated. I just released an updated version. You should check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHOXqn-pe7B8pKM

[@DjangoGroen]

I’ll just go with google calandra. I hate that I can’t see my appointments at a glance. Just that little dot. Hate it

[@TheMacWhisperer]

I gotcha ;)

[@suewilson3025]

Really learned a lot from your tutorial. Question is : When I turn my phone sidewise it will only give me 3 days. I really want to see the whole week, or better still the whole month.

[@TheMacWhisperer]

So what is really your specific question? That you need help. :)

[@sherrym4300]

May I make a suggestion? Please explain how the alerts work. They seem to work in reverse of what I think they should. Or, explain the 2nd alert as just an “additional”alert. I had the hardest time figuring these out. Until, I went on an Apple support site, and it was explained by someone answering this very question that a lot of other people were asking.

[@TheMacWhisperer]

Interesting.... when you say they worked in reverse of how you thought they would... how did you think they worked? Yes, the 2nd alert is an additional alert to the 1st one.... please elaborate your thoughts on what you were expecting.

Stay warm. I can still get away with the short sleeves (global warming is alive and well in Los Angeles), but it did rain (drizzle) today so the long sleeve shirts are going to have to come out soon.

Is there a way that can look at each calendar I’ve created individually?

[@TheMacWhisperer]

Sort of, but it's a pain. Click the calendar button at the bottom middle, click hide all at the top of each section, and then select one calendar and click done... rinse and repeat. But I wouldn't recommend it... why do you need that function... maybe there is a better way to accomplish what you're trying to do.

Couldn’t stop staring at the giant Disneyland picture behind the phone… lol

[@moetube1337]

Great tutorial, but the iOS Calendar app prevents me from actually getting an iPhone since it's so limited

[@TheMacWhisperer]

There's no reason to restrict your iPhone purchase based on the calendar app... there are dozens of other calendar apps that can be used on an iPhone from Fantastical to BusyCal and even Google's Calendar app. If that's the one thing holding you back, don't let it, just use a different app.

[@moetube1337]

@@TheMacWhisperer Fantastical and BusyCal are really expensive and google's calendar doesn't have all the features I'd want/isn't as customizable, so for me it would be a real issue..

[@LyndaBuckman]

How do you alphabetize the Calendars list?

[@TheMacWhisperer]

Unfortunately, there is no built-in way to alphabetize the lists. But you can do it manually. In my opinion, alphabetizing isn't always the best way to sort. It assumes that the lists that start with a are more important than the lists that start with S or Z, so it's just somewhat random. I prefer to put calendars in order of priorities… And encourage people to not have so many different calendars that you need to alphabetize them. But if you want to, just drag them into the right order.

[@goddessvalentinaofradiants3290]

Phenomenal video. Love it…. Amazing

[@TheMacWhisperer]

Thank you very much! Glad you like it! ;)

[@oscrm1760]

Hola cual es la diferencia entre Calendario y Reminders si en ambos puedo poner una notificación puedo poner el dia y la hora. Y programar una actividad en ambas aplicaciones.

[@TheMacWhisperer]

The way I teach the difference is that you use your calendar for any events that must happen at a specific day/time or place. Reminders are different, sometimes they move around, they generally don’t have to do with other people, just things that you have to or want to do. If you put all of your reminders in the calendar, your calendar gets very cluttered and it becomes difficult to see when you have available time or what you’re supposed to be doing. Meanwhile reminders sorts and organizes things into lists that give you alerts, without blocking out specific times. Again, calendar is perfect for something that MUST happen at a specific day/time, a specific place, or with a specific person. While reminders can be much more general.

[@karlbradshaw4642]

[@juletwalters]

[@TheMacWhisperer]

So glad you enjoyed it. Are there any future topics or videos you would like to suggest?

[@edimig64]

I created calendars that I don’t have option to delete! When I press the i at the bottom there’s no option to delete the calendar. Any ideas?

[@TheMacWhisperer]

If you are using google calendars, they can't be deleted from iCal. They have to be deleted from the Google Calendar webpage. Hopefully, that helps. If it's not a google calendar let me know and I will see what other things could be the problem.

[@dilawarmunir]

Awesome video. Thank you

[@daisylaureano5999]

im havin a hard time how do i delete one of my events like i work with elderly people and that person passed away how can i delete there name completly on my calendar because every time i go to put an event there name pops up still pleaseee help me.

[@TheMacWhisperer]

Unfortunately the autofill cannot be easily deactivated on the phone... but if you have a mac synced to the same calendar you can open the calendar app, go to settings, and under advanced you can "remove all recent locations and attendees". If you don't have a mac, search in the calendar for the event that keep auto populating and delete it from your history. That should eliminate it.

How to print one month calendar from iPhone.

[@TheMacWhisperer]

I don't think there is any way to do that directly from the iphone at this time. Sorry.

[@AoT540]

I wish the dots on my apple calender would be in color

[@TheMacWhisperer]

Me too. But it's just not set up that way. That's part of why I rarely use the month view and stick to the day, week and list view instead.

[@oflijose3103]

Lets be honest, its a shit calendar compared with google calendar.

[@TheMacWhisperer]

I appreciate your opinion, but I respectfully disagree. Google makes terrible programs and has almost unusable mobile user interfaces in my opinion (especially on Apple devices).

[@rizz917]

Thank you so much for this video.

[@TheMacWhisperer]

You are so welcome! :)

[@smellynelly312]

I want to see all days in a rolling screen, yes I can see events but not unselected days 😮

Can you elaborate? The list view more or less does that...
