Google-calendar – How to migrate the Google Calendar & Contacts to Outlook.com

google-calendargoogle-contactsmigrate-dataoutlook.com

I want to migrate my calendar and contacts from Google to Outlook.com

Outlook.com offers an easy "one-click" service to transfer your mail but this doesn't migrate your calendar and contacts.

If there anyway that I can do this?

Being on WebApps, I'd obviously like to avoid as much manual intervention as possible so a web app/service would be the preferred option 🙂

The Outlook.com documentation contains an article to import contacts. The article also described how to import from Gmail.

Add Google Gmail contacts or contacts from a .csv

The smoothest way to use Gmail contacts in Outlook.com is to add them on the Outlook.com website.

You can also use the Outlook.com website to add contacts from a .csv file. (For Outlook.com accounts, using Outlook to import the .csv won’t work.)

See the article for full details.

There are also details about importing a calendar. Export it from Google Calendar and import it into Outlook.com.

To enable the birthday calendar, do the following:

Settings > Calendar Settings
Choose the Calendars tab

Now whenever you add a birthday to a contact, you should see it in your calendar.

Google-calendar – How to allow toggling of different calendars within an embedded Google Calendar

You could do something like this:

<html>
<body>

<a href="#" onMouseDown="changeToCal1()">Calendar 1</a> 
<a href="#" onMouseDown="changeToCal2()">Calendar 2</a> 

<iframe id="cal" style="border: 0" width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

<script type="text/javascript">
function changeToCal1()
{
    document.getElementById('cal').src = "http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=mycal1url%40gmail.com&ctz=America/New_York";
}

function changeToCal2()
{
    document.getElementById('cal').src = "http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=mycal2url&ctz=America/New_York";
}
</script>


</body>
</html>

Clicking the links will change the source of the iframe, so you could just create links for a few of your calendars, using the Google Calendar embedded links as the src value.
