:!: First, on iPhone/iPad sync contacts and calendar to iCloud.

      - Connect your iPhone to the internet. Go to Settings > iCloud.
      - Enter your iCloud account details.
      - From the choices, slide the toggle for Contacts and  Calendar to turn it on.
      - You will get a message confirming syncing.  Wait until the message disappears before closing.

===== Export your iCloud calendar as an iCal file =====

  * Login to your iCloud account.  Click on Calendar.
  * Publicly share the calendar you want to export by clicking on the signal icon beside the calendar name, and click “Public Calendar”.

  * Select and copy the web address from the calendar that you want to export and paste it to your browser’s address bar.
  * You should notice that it begins with the text, “webcal”. **Replace “webcal” with “http” and then press Enter.** This will initiate the download of your iCloud calendar as an iCal (.ics) file.
