Syncing iCal to Outlook Mac 2011

Folks,
I am running the latest version of Lion with Outlook 2011 for Mac. My principal calendar is maintained on Google as it sync quite well with Pocket Informant.  Despite many attempts I am unable to sync iCal with Outlook 2011. Google sync quite well with iCal via a utility, but despite setting sync services to on, Outlook 2011 does not sync with iCal. Can anyone offer suggestions here?
Many Thanx

The bottom line is that Office for Mac does not support CalDAV, which is the type of calendar hosted by Google and iCloud. Outlook will only sync calendars with iCal that were:
1. Created in Outlook.
2. Created in iCal "On My Mac".
If a calendar is created "On My Mac", then it is hosted locally (on your Mac) and Outlook can sync to it.
If it's created in Google or iCloud, then it's hosted on a server in the cloud. iCal syncs to that server using CalDAV. Outlook doesn't support CalDAV, so it can't sync with those calendars.

  • Need help syncing iCal and Outlook 2011 (for Mac) THANKS!

    QUESTION: How do I sync iCal and Outlook up again without duplicating any more events, and very importantly, without sending any more email invitations?
    I just bought an iPhone. I am trying to get my phone and my MacBook Pro synced up through iCloud.
    I realize that I need to have Outlook 2011 and iCal set up for syncing for this to work.
    I did this at one point, and it resulted in all of my ALL DAY appointments being duplicated in Outlook, iCal, and on the calendar on my phone - and iCloud sending out duplicate invitations to events.
    Then, I turned syncing between iCal and Outlook and deleted all of the duplicates in my Outlook.
    Of course, because I haven't set up Outlook to sync with iCal, iCal and my phone's calendar have not changed. There are still duplicates there.
    How do I sync them up again without duplicating any more events, and very importantly, without sending any more email invitations?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can be!
    Cheers!

    My iPhone 4 was working fine, synched with Outlook 2011 on my iMac 11.02 through iTunes. Calendar changes also appeared in iCal, even though I don't use iCal - I only use Outlook. Last week I was prompted to update Outlook, which I did successfully. Today, I plugged the iPhone into the iMac to synch and suddenly all Calendar and Contact items are gone from the iPhone and in iCal on the iMac. In iTunes, the option to synch with Outlook in the Info tab ("other") is greyed out. What happened? Why can't I synch the iPhone anymore with Outlook? All the Calendar and Contact info is still on the iMac in Outlook. Help!

  • Multiple personalit​ies when syncing bb calendar with outlook mac 2011

    Outlook mac 2011  meetings where I invite guests appear correctly both in my bb and mac outlook calendar.  Meetings where I invite no one "appointments" won't sync no matter what I try.  Has this happened to anyone else?

    Outlook for Mac 2011 does not support iCloud contacts and calendars syncing because Microsoft chose not to include the CardDAV and CalDAV protocols necessary to do so (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915), which is strange since they do support these on Outlook for Windows.
    If you want to contacts and calendars with iCloud you'll have to use the OS X apps.

  • How do I transfer Notes from my Outlook Mac 2011 to my iPhone 4S (iOS 6)? I am using OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I want to know how I can transfer Notes in my Outlook: Mac 2011 to my iPhone 4S.
    Am using a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and my 4S is on iOS 6.

    Finally figured it out...
    1) Open mail/compose notes on your macbook...
    2) copy and paste every note from Outlook to a new note in Mail.
    3) Open iTunes. In Info/Advanced tick Notes. This will replace / copy all Notes from Mail to your iPhone...
    4) Voila! Notes are on iPhone...
    I must say in spite of all the fabulous advantages of a Macbook and an iPhone, syncing really does suck...
    Transferring data from another smartphone to a Mac or an iPhone is tough...
    Features like "one way / two way" sync for Phone / computer or allowing us to select which whose, phone or computer, will be considered more important so that you can choose whose data will overwrite the other, are not there in iTunes... This is something which really needs to be there...
    Anyways... problem solved for now...
    ciao...

  • Sync ical and outlook

    i need to sync ical and outlook calendars

    {quote:title=Julian Wright wrote:}
    Ok... so in that case, what is keeping track of changes to the files on the flashcard? When you plug it into the Mac after using it on the PC, what decides which files are newer and which files to move from the flashcard to the Mac, and which files to move from the Mac to the flashcard? What decides what to do when there is newer data on both?
    I suspect you are not actually syncing, but simply manually copying the data each time using the flashcard as the transport medium.
    No, I have two sync programs, one on the Mac, one on the PC, they sync their files to the flashcard.

    Have you tried configuring iTunes on both your home Mac and work PC to sync calendars to your iPod touch? If so, does it work or is data overwritten?
    That was my question, can it be done? I'm guessing, from what you are saying here, that iTunes should be able to handle it? I don't have iTunes on the PC, so I haven't tried it. Is the functionality the same as on the Mac?

  • How do I sync iCal on my mac with OS 8 devices

    How do I sync iCal on my mac with OS 8 devices

    Hi jgiolma,
    Since you do not mention what version of the Mac operating system you are running on your MacBook Pro it is a little hard to answer your question. For computers running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later one way to sync your calendars would be to use iCloud. See this article for minimum system requirements for iCloud -
    System requirements for iCloud
    Information on using iCloud for your calendars can be found here -
    iCloud: Calendar overview and
    iCloud: Using iCloud Calendars with Calendar and iCal
    More general information about iCloud is available here -
    Apple - iCloud - Everything you love, everywhere you go.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Leave email on server imap outlook:mac 2011

    Hi,
    I need to read my e-mails on multiple devices and when I download onto one it is removed from the server.  How to I configure outlook:mac 2011 to leave it on the server for a specific number of days?
    Thanks
    John

    Please post a screen shot of the Account window. More than likely your mail provider/ISP is using IMAP and Outlook is setup to access it using IMAP. You have to make sure all other devices are also accessing that account using IMAP. If one of them is accessing it by POP then the mail might get deleted from the server when downloaded to that device.
    Who is your email provider?
    How are you accessing the account, IMAP or POP?
    To post a screen shot use the Camera icon at the top of the reply area. Images have to be Jpeg or PNG. To take a screen shot press Shift + Command + 4 keys and draw a box around what you want to make a screen shot of.

  • Outlook Mac 2011 keeps crashing after Maverick installation

    Hi everyone,
    just installed Maverick. Now my Outlook Mac 2011 keeps crashing. I just freezes up and eventually pops a window stating "microsoft outlook must be closed because an error occured. any unsaved work may be lost.". Anyone seen this too and found a way to fix?
    Cheers,

    I have found MS Office databases to be fragile.  When I had the 2008 version, it was corrupted by an MS Office upadate.  The same thing recently occurred to me in MS Office 2011 after I migrated to a new iMac.  The tech support person from Microsoft had to reinstall MS Office 2011 from scratch and I had to start over with a new Main Identity. 
    Fortunately, there are ways to migrate all your old email to a new main identity but it is a pain.  
    I suggest you head over to the Microsoft forums to see what they are saying over there.   It could be that your database was corrupted by the update to Mavericks but there are other things that cause that delicate database to get corrupted.  I realize this does not fix your problems but you might gain some additional insights at the Microsoft web site.
