The normal way would be to sync Facebook with iOS, so that your Facebook events appear in myCal inside Facebook specific calendars. I just did a quick google and spotted this, it might be of some use.

Thanks John for the reply. My question was any future events that were added from Facebook AFTER I already linked Facebook to my IOS iPhone calendar. But I actually figured it out...when someone adds a new event in Facebook it doesn't automatically update it..however if you go to "Settings" scroll down to MYCAl pro app and click the access to calendars off and turn it back on it again it sync its. Life is good again:)

I see what you mean, actually iOS will 'poll' the Facebook calendar for any changes rather than those events updating immediately.
You can however configure how iOS will try to retrieve those updates. Try the following:
  • Go into the Settings app
  • Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars
  • Tap Fetch New Data, you should see the Facebook calendar listed
  • In the Fetch section, you can set how often you want to poll

Thanks John! I made the switch from manual to push every hour. Hopefully that solves it permanently! Thanks again for your help. I love this calendar app:)
