Can't subscribe to shared calendars via Outlook.

We've been using the Sun Outlook connector for several years and just recently (three weeks ago) a lot of our users are reporting problems with subscribing to calendars and setting permissions within Outlook.
Users can view and share calendars in Comm Express just fine. When I install the connector and create a new profile I get all the calendars that I am currently subscribed to but cannot add additional calendars.
When I try to add a shared calendar that I have full permissions to I get one of the following errors:
"Unable to display the folder. Your profile is not configured to support this operation for this user."
or
"The Search request to the Sun Global Address List server has timed out."
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Does this problem occur for all users?
If not which users are not affected and what is different about their setup (version of connector/Outlook/different calendar server/physical location etc.)?
When I try to add a shared calendar that I have full permissions to I get one of the following errors:
"Unable to display the folder. Your profile is not configured to support this operation for this user."
or
"The Search request to the Sun Global Address List server has timed out."Let's go with the second option for the time being.
When you perform the search, what do you see in the directory server access/error logs? Do you see any log-running searches (high etime value) or any errors (err=<some number not 0>).
How long does it take for the error to come back.. instantly, seconds, minutes?

Shane.

Alarms don't work and can't subscribe to shared calendars

I have just discovered that my alarms do not work, and I am not able to subscribe to shared calendars.
Re alarms - I have tried trashing iCal, downloading and re-installing it, trashing preferences, to no avail.
Re shared calendars - once I download the calendar, a drop down appears in iCal where my options are to cancel or subscribe. When I click susbscribe, the window freezes and nothing happens.
Any input would be most appreciated.

Have you tried installing Microsoft® Windows Script version 5.6? Since you are unable to uninstall the Desktop Manager, try manually deleting the folders from your computer (Task 3 in the following KB article) and removing the associated registry keys. http://bbry.lv/cmoQ5P Then reinstall version 6.0.

ICloud: i can't subscribe to shared calendar or memorandum

When someone invite me to share calendar or memorandum, i can't subscribe.!?

GeminiStargazer,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You may want to try the Australian Holidays Calendar on iCalShare.com.
According to the publisher of that calendar:
"The Apple supplied Australian Holidays calendar is pretty dismal. This is an attempt at a much more accurate and useful version."

Can not add a New appointment to a shared calendar in Outlook 2010, can only add a New Meeting.

Hi
I can not add a new appointment to a shared calendar in Outlook 2010. I can see the calendar and appointments in it (all appointments are marked as busy, the detail can not be seen. I want it to do this) and I can and a New meeting to the shared calendar
but I can not add just an appointment.
I do not want e-mail being sent to the owner of the shared calendar everytime I add something.
When I view the appointment that im creating in the shared calendar the New appointment button is greyed out but the New meeting button is available.
The permision on the shared calendar for the user is:
Custom
Read = none
Write = create items, create subfolders, edit own
delete = Own
Other = folder visable
Thanks
contributor permission in outlook 2010 calendar does not work, I have given this as permision but issue is the same. We currently connect to an exchange server 2003;

Hi Cmrl,
Does it happen when you create an appointment via OWA?
Does it happen when you create an appointment via Outlook 2003?
Do you have any mobile device?
How many users encountered the issue, all users or some user?
At first, I suggest you recreate outlook profile.
At second,

Can I create a shared calendar on iCal from the New iPad?

My company just gave out iPads for use to all field employees. My coworkers and I currently have an Outlook shared calendar that we utilize for scheduling our work. We can not access the shared calendars on our iPads, therefore I would like to create a shared calendar in iCal that we can all access for sharing our schedule as we were doing on Outlook. Is this possible?
NOTE: The idea is that I would like to use the iPad as the sole resource, instead of carrying our laptops around just to access the shared outlook calendar/schedule. The laptops are outdated junk that requires roughly 20 mins of time just to power up, connect and sign in to our servers...very inefficient.
Thank you!

I have a bluetooth 2 keyboard from Brookstone, will it work with the iPad?

IPhone 3G - Can I open a shared calendar on my exchange server?

Active sync on the iPhone works great for contacts, email, my calendar, accepting/declining invitations, etc. I am not sure if it is possible or if I just don't know how to navigate the device to do this; can I open a shared calendar in my organization similar to how I can open someone else's calendar in Outlook on my desktop?

Found on Google's website and the first hit with a Google search for "syncing Google calendar iPhone".

How to open shared calendar in Outlook for Mac 15 (Office 365)?

A colleague in my organisation has created a calendar in a different version of Outlook and shared it with me, but I am unable to access it. What am I missing?
I have tried:
Select Calendar
Click Open shared calendar
Search for the person's name. They appear in the list.
Select and click open. I get a popup saying "Outlook was redirected to the server secure.autodiscover.... to get new settings for your account (email address of person I selected). ..."
Tick "Always use my response for this server" and click "Allow". The same popup appears.
Again I tick "Always use my response for this server" and click "Allow". I get a popup saying "Outlook cannot open the folder. You do not have permission to open this folder. Contact (sharer's name) for permission."
Also, this colleague has triggered a share invitation email.
This contains an XML file that I cannot open with Outlook.

Hi,
According to your description, I notice that Outlook for Mac for Office 365 cannot open shared calendar.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Which account are you used, Exchange account or Microsoft account?
Would you please login OWA and test to open this shared calendar?
Outlook for Mac cannot open the shared calendar which is a sub-calendar, you have to ask calendar owner share all calendars under the default "Calendar" folder.
More details about it, for your reference:

Can I synch contacts and calendar with outlook on my office computer and media in family itunes library on my home computer?

I am purchasing a iphone4s. Can I synch contacts and calendar with outlook on my office computer and media in my family itunes library on my home computer? If so, how?

I'm having the same issue. Upgraded my 3G to OS4 which wiped out my contacts from the phone. I also use CompanionLink (Express) to sync ATC with Outlook and iTunes and the phone. Have spent hours/days on the phone with second level Apple tech support to no avail. CompanionLink IS syncing with Outlook but Outlook isn't syncing with the phone. Have tried syncing to Outlook directly (without CompanionLink) but no good result. Tried syncing through MobilMe. Can sync all Outlook contacts from my computer to me.com through MobileMe but does not sync with the phone. Tech support suggested trying to sync fewer contacts at a time as their might be a problem with the contacts file. DID manage to get 4000 of my 5600 contacts back in but can't get any more in. Previously had NO problem syncin all contacts directly and through CompanionLink. VERY frustrating.
Also, I use Outlook Express for email. Since installing MobileMe I get an error message saying that Outlook isn't my default mail handler and I need to change the settings to make it the default mail handler. I DO NOT have "sync mail" checked as I'm not trying to sync my email accounts...only contacts and calendars. Made Outlook the default mail handler which stops the error message but still can't sync the contacts and I want to keep Outlook Express for email.

View private shared calendar in Outlook 2013

I use a PC with Windows 7 and Outlook 2013. My wife use a Macbook Pro. We both have iCloud accounts (I use iCloud 2.1.2). Both of our calendars appear in iCloud. We have private shared the calendars with each other. We both received join e-mails and joined the calendars. She can see my calendar in iCal and on her iPhone as well as her own from iCal. I can see her calendar and my Outlook calendar on my iPhone. I cannot see her calendar on Outlook. The path ahead seems to be to subscribe to an Internet Calender from Outlook but there is no path to put into the Internet Calendar path enty box. If I make her calendar public, then a path is provided and that works. I tried removing the public access, but I don't think that the calendar is updating. I am reticent to make her calendar public permanently; I am not comfortable with anyone knowing where my wife is at anytime. How do I find a webcal path to a private shared calendar on iCloud?

I recommend that you post this in the Office 365 Exchange Online Forum:

HT4968 How can I take a shared calendar and recreate it using my personal ical rather than having to share?

Here's the deal. I stepped into an administrative position last fall and began building an entire calender schedule for our summer 2014 program. I put a lot of work into building two months, however I have only just realized that the apple ID is for the former person who had my job (she left herself logged in on the mac I am now using). My fault for assuming the apple id and login would be the same as the email account I am responsible for.
I did manage to share one of the calendars I created using her apple ID, so I still have access, however, I'd feel better if I could somehow take this "shared" calendar and keep it as my own using the apple ID for the email account I'm responsible for. In other words, is there a way to take a calendar that was shared with you by someone else and save it under my apple ID as MY primary calendar? I'm paranoid that this former employee will delete said shared calendar and I will have to start from scratch...

Before you start see if you can export the calendar to a .ics file via the File ➙ Export menu option. In your own account import the .ics file and that, hopefully, will bring in all the work you've done so far.

Shared Calendars from Outlook?

I use Outlook and have access to a few shared calendars. My own and one of the ones I have access to are available to sync to the iPhone, but another one is not. Any ideas on what differentiating factors would allow some to be recognized and not others?

Can someone break thsi down for me please. We are using small business server 2011 and everyone has a windows pc but me, I have a MBP. in outlook I can opend shared calendars no problem but when I try to us the "delegate" tab in ical's preferences nothing comes up. I cant neither share y calendar or open ones that have been shared with me. The only way aound this at this point is that I have to physically add their accounts on my MBP but I don't want to do this as this can be invading privacy since I can also get their mails. I know I can untick email when i add their accounts but the fact that I still ahve the option to tick it annoys me as I wouldnt want others doing this with my account. Can someone point me in the right direction here.
P.S. One of my colleagues bought a MBP yesterday and his was as simple as plug and play. He can share his calendar and open shared ones with ical but I still cant he his. We are both running lion. I'm starting to think this is more of a server issue with permissions or something, mind you I have basic computer knowledge.

Can't open someones others calendar with Outlook Connector

Hi,
I can't open someones others calendar from within Outlook Connector. Outlook 2003 complains: Your profile is not configured to .....
What could be the reason and what's a possible solution ? I can open my calendar on the server, with the Calendar Client, I can open someones calendar, also with the Webclient.

Strange - I just configured 3 users with shared calendars, all running Office 20043/Outlook. This works fine, and all are able to watch each others calendar when the set up a meeting.
To be able to fully read another users calendar, I suppose the calendar owner must grant you rights to modify on behalf of the him?

How do i show Family sharing calendar in outlook?

i have the icloud add-in installed and i can see my personal calendar, but i would like to see the Family shared calendar as well. is this possible?

thanks for your reply Jeff, however this does not solve my problem.
The Family calendar is automatically created when you nable Family Sharing, as such seems to act differently from a normal calendar. i can see it on all devices and icloud.com but it is not included in Outlook when using the iCloud app for PC.
