    Kevin: It looks like this was recently changed. I'll update the main recipe, but here is how to do it now.

    Click the Add arrow under the Calendar list in the left column
    Select Import from there.

    ...any idea about importing contacts from Outlook to Gmail so that all the fields and entries make the trip?
  • wdonders · 1 year ago
    Sorry, but I still can't find the import option.

    Only in the pulldown menu under 'Add' in the 'Other calendars' pane, there is an import option.
    But not in the 'My calendars' Pane.
    And i want to import a calendar which i can edit, not a 'other calendar', cause these are not editable.
    help! Am i missing something?

    For this to "work good" in the current Google Calendar interface, change step 13 to:

    13. Click the small 'Add' link in the bottom right corner of the "Other calendars" box that's on the left side of your calendar page.

    I moved my Palm calendar to Gcal by exporting it to yahoo calendar, then exporting as a csv to Gcal.

    Cool app, but the import feature was a pain in the back!

    I don't seem to be able to import reoccurring events - they become 100s of individual events.. is there any way to resolve this..

    eg. If I have a weekly appointment in Outlook - it becomes an separate appointment for each week in Google Calendars - not good if you want to change the address / details of the appointment for all instances!

    Pls. help!

    Cheers,
