Create events

You can create events in a variety of ways.

  • In the “Month” view, double-click on a day to create a new event. The Info drawer opens and you can add your information. iCal arranges multiple events on one day according to the times you enter.

  • In the “Week” or “Day” views, press-and-drag over the times for your event. The Info drawer opens and you can add your information.

  • To stretch the event out across multiple days, be sure to click the “all-day” button in the Info drawer.

  • To create a recurring event, use the “repeat” feature in the Info drawer. iCal automatically fills in the event throughout the years. For instance, my Shakespeare readings repeat every first Friday of each month.
