Apple does not necessarily make it easy to get data migrated out of its ecosystem. Yet, depending on where your data resides and how old / new your device is, there may be different options to get it done.

For iCloud calendars we cover different approaches here: @[https://learn.above.im/s/12aef602-75ec-4367-b619-07ad051e2a6f/doc/icloud-calendars-HiLfjlMK5F](https://learn.above.im/s/12aef602-75ec-4367-b619-07ad051e2a6f/doc/icloud-calendars-HiLfjlMK5F) 


# macOS calendars

The easiest way to get your calendars exported is if you have them on a macOS system. Once set up there, you can pretty easily export all events you want into a single file.

Here’s the process:


1. **Open the Calendar app** on your machine
2. Inside the Calendar, **check the list on the left hand side bar** to see how many separate calendars you might have.
3. **Select one** that you’d like to export, so that it shows highlighted.
4. In the toolbar on the very top of the screen, go to ***Edit > Export***
5. You’ll be asked where to save the **.ics** file and how to call it. Be sure you take note of this.
6. **Done!**  

   Now your .ics file can be [transferred](https://learn.above.im/doc/file-transfer-0EKEjk5z53) and [imported](https://learn.above.im/doc/android-calendars-Ql3zBOAA88#h-import-calendars-fossify-calendar) to the Above Phone (or other calendars for that matter)
