"My Calendars" lists calendars where you have manager access. The only way to move a calendar to that section is to ask another manager to give you that status.

Hi Joel. Other Calendars are generally calendar you do not have access to modify. There are ways to copy the calendar to your My Calendars, however they will be come static and no longer be updated by the original calendar provider. You likely want to leave them where they are at now. However, if you can elaborate to why you want these calendars moved from Other to My we may be able to help you further.

Hi Joel, here's the steps:
- Open the settings for the "Other Calendar" and copy the "Public address in iCal format" under "Integrate Calendar"
- Paste that link it into your browsers address bar to download the .ics (iCal) file for that calendar.
- Create a new calendar by clicking "Create New Calendar" under "Add Calendar" in the General settings.
- Import (General Settings under "Import & Export") the .ics calendar that you downloaded to your new calendar.
- Unsubscribe to the "Other Calendar".
Please note that if you do this, your new private copy of the calendar will not be updated if the original subscribed feed is updated, which may not matter if it's a holiday calendar, for example, but would be a problem if the calendar is for dates which may change in the future.

Unfortunately, the answer provided by dopstart does not allow you to transfer an entire calendar you don't own to one you do, you would have to go event by event. Neil G has pointed out that copying a calendar you don't own necessarily prevents the calendar from being updated in the future by the original owner. However, I don't care about this. I simply have my own system for the calendars I control (a "work" calendar, a "home" calendar, etc.) and I don't want to deal with looking at a new calendar whenever I go to another conference.
The technique of downloading the ics file and reimporting it works, but it feels inefficient. Is there really no "Copy Calendar" option anywhere that will just add all the contents of a calendar to another?

and If ou IMPORT before you hit "add calendar" it deletes the title you gave the new calendar and adds it to your main calendar. I just had to manually delete all the events that should have been uploaded as the NEW calendar, off my main one. PLEASE HELP.

For the Calendar I want to import, there is no option for "Public address in iCal format". I just want to import all of the events from this "other calendar" into my calendar. I can do one event at a time, but this is painful. I am OK that the events are now static and won't be updated.

Hi the iCal address is available only for "my calendars" but not for "other calendars". Does this mean we can't synchronize "other calendars"?

Hi, if you've added "Interesting Calendars" from Google then you can't see the iCal feed URL in the settings, but you can generate it like this:
Go to the settings for the Other Calendar, and note down the Public URL to this calendar, for example:
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=en-gb.christian%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe%2FParis
Now take the part after 'src=' up to and including 'calendar.google.com'
so in this case our subscribed calendar ID is
en-gb.christian%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com
Now replace the ********** here with that text:
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/**********/public/basic.ics
to give the final feed URL which you can download directly in your browser:
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/en-gb.christian%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics
You can then import the .ics file into a new Secondary Calendar, for example, and cancel the original subscription. The Secondary Calendar will appear under "My Calendars", and you can edit the calendar, share it etc. as you would with any of your own calendars.
