We all have special dates in our lives that we don't want to forget, like birthdays, anniversaries, and important appointments. Many people rely on the iPhone's Calendar app to keep track of these events. But what if something happens to your phone, like it breaks or stops working? Or maybe your iPhone calendar disappeared. Therefore, it's a smart choice to back up your iPhone calendar to your computer.
In this article, we'll show you some easy ways to back up your iPhone calendar. Whether you prefer using iTunes or want a method that doesn't require iTunes, we've got you covered.
Many iPhone users know about iTunes, and it's actually pretty simple to use it to back up your calendars. Just make sure you've got the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer before you start.
Step 1: Open iTunes on your computer and connect your iPhone using a USB cable.
Step 2: Once your iPhone is connected, click the small phone icon near the top-left corner of the iTunes window.
Step 3: In the sidebar, click on "Info". Then check the box that says "Sync Calendars". You'll get two choices—either sync all your calendars or just selected ones. (How to Fix iPhone Calendar Not Syncing?)

Want to save your iPhone calendar on your computer without using iTunes? You can easily do this with iCloud. Just follow these steps:
Step 1 On your iPhone, open the "Settings" app. Tap your Apple ID name at the top, then go to "iCloud". Make sure the "Calendars" toggle is turned on. Your calendar will now sync with iCloud.
Step 2 On your computer, open a browser and go to iCloud.com. Sign in using the same Apple ID as your iPhone.
Step 3 Click on the "Calendar" icon. In the left sidebar, choose the calendar you want to back up. Click the "Share" button, enable "Public Calendar", and copy the URL that appears.
Step 4 Open a new browser tab and paste the URL into the address bar. Before hitting Enter, change "webcal" at the beginning of the link to "http". Press "Enter", and your calendar will be downloaded to your computer as an ICS file.
Step 5 Go back to iCloud.com, click the "Share" button next to the calendar you just saved, and turn off "Public Calendar" to keep your info private.
