"Connect to Outlook" Disabled

Hi,
I am not able to connect any SharePoint 2013 list or calendar to Outlook 2013. When I select a SharePoint List Ribbon the "Connect to Outlook" button is always greyed out. I am running Windows 8, IE 10, Outlook 2013
and SharePoint 2013 (Foundation). IE and Outlook are 32-bit versions. I am the site administrator and have full access to all the lists.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg

The reason why the "Connect to Outlook" is greyed out, is because there is a feature called "Minimal Download Strategy". The feature redirect you to an application page start.aspx, do some validation, and loads start.js script. This add
the "_layouts/15/start.aspx" in the URL wich seems to break the Connect To Outlook functionnality.
To go arround this, you have 2 choice;
1-Open you Calendar, Click the Calendar button in the top navigation bar, and go to "List Settings". (4 buttons right from the connecto to outlook)
From there, copy the "Web Adress", and paste it in the adress bar of your browser.
Then go to the Connect to Outlook, it shouldn't be greyed out anymore. It work for me on IE9 32bit with outlook 32 bits.
2- Go to the site settings of your collection, then to Manage Site Features, and deactivate the Minimal Download Strategy" feature.
The Minimal Download Strategy is actually a very good feature that you migh want to keep though as it makes most of the apps load faster.
I still don't know why this breaks it, but I'll do more research on it.
Let me know if this works for you as well.

Connect to Outlook button is disabled in ribbon

I have a publishing site.
In this site I enabled feature "Team Collaboration Lists" which gave me the option to add "Calendar" web part in my publishing site page.
I added calendar web part but the button "Connect to Outlook" is disabled in ribbon. In fact all buttons under "Calendar" tab are disabled such as "Export to Excel", "Open with Access", "Edit List", "List
Settings etc.
I read somewhere that I need to enable feature "Offline Synchronization for External Lists" which I did but still "Connect to Outlook" is disabled.
I am logged in as Site Collection Administrator.
I have tried this in both IE and Chrome.
I am using SharePoint 2013 and Exchange 2010.
I know SharePoint 2013 can't sync with Exchange 2010 but at least the button should be enabled.
On this machine Outlook or any MS Office component is not installed. Could it be because of this?
Or may be I didn't add the correct calendar web part and there is some other calendar web part which can be synced with Outlook?

Yes, you need 32bit Office 2010 or 2013 installed on the client to enable those buttons.

Hi,
Per my test, I am able to use the Connect to Outlook feature with Office 64-bit.
For your issue that Connect to Outlook feature is greyed out:
Activate Offline Synchronization for External Lists feature.
Go to the Calendar.
On the Calendar tab click List Settings.
Copy the Web address, e.g. https://www.contoso.com/sales/Lists/Calendar/calendar.aspx.
Paste the URL in your browser and press Enter.
Go to the Calendar tab and click List Settings.
You will notice that the Connect to Outlook link is now enabled.

No Office 365 connections via Outlook 2013

I am usually able to connect via Outlook 2013 to mny Office 365 Exchange accounts for email etc. But sinice Saturday 18th July have been unable to do this. Outlook truies to connect andcannot ending up in a "disconnected" status. I have re-installed Office from scratch, no dice.I have disabled Windows Firewall, no diceI have flushed my DNS, no dice. I can pull mail via Outlokk for POP and IMAP no problem. I can also tether my laptop to my phone and pull Office 365 mail etc with no issues. So I know the laptop is fine, the Outlook app is fine and Microsoft hosting Exchange is fine. The issue has to be the network I am connecting over. I cannot ping the 365 addrerss eitherC:\Users\JDarling>ping sky.comPinging sky.com [90.216.128.5] with 32 bytes of data&colon;

I can use the OWA to get mail, but as I have several mail accounts configured in Outlook and you can only sign in to one 365 account at a time, this is not a workaround I can use. Any ideas what the problem is?

I'm getting this too; I have an Office 365 account that is provided by my employer. Around Thursday last week I started to have issues connecting to the mailbox using the Outlook 2016 for Windows Desktop at home. It would show as disconnected and attempting to reconnect would get errors regarding authenitcation. Being an IT professional I did some investigation and also having talked to Microsoft themselves we've narrowed it down to some form of Sky IPv6 configuration, as the Microsoft Exchange expert I spoke too reckons that it's some for of IPv6 Proxy setup at Sky's end, reasons; Around the same time I was having issues with connecting to my O365 mailbox I noticed my Sky Hub has received a firmware update adding several IPv6 related features (Ping, LAN setup, Firewall).I also have Outlook for Android and can connect to my O365 account at home no problem; my Smartphone (Galaxy S4 running Android Lollipop) does not support IPv6.There is nothing wrong with my O365 account and mailbox, Microsoft checked whilst I was looking over their shoulder and I can connect to it via the Web Portal at home.Outlook 2016 can connect to my O365 mailbox via other networks; my employer's wifi network and also whilst at a friend's, their BT Internet wifi network; this indicates that the IPv6 configuration on my laptop is good.I've found a work around; you need to disable IPv6 on your PC's network card until Sky sort out what they are doing regarding IPv6! Navigate to the Control Panel.Go to the Network and Sharing Centre.On the left click "Change Adapter Settings".This will bring up the "Network Settings" form.Right click the connection that is being used (you will probably see two connections if your PC has both an ethernet and wifi card. The one that is NOT being used will have a RED "X" against it).Choose Properties.Within the "This connection uses the following items" list of items, scroll down until you find "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IP)" and uncheck it (remove the tick from the box) and click "OK".Restart Outlook; the mailbox should now connect. The question I have what is Sky doing regarding IPv6 introduction/configuration as so far I haven't seen much about it!

Troubleshoot connectivity issues Outlook Anywhere - Exchange 2013

Hi there,
As part of our Exchange 2010 -> 2013 migration we've transitioned CAS to Exchange 2013 2 weeks ago. Some 50 mailboxes have been moved to exchange 2013. Moving mailboxes for everyone is scheduled the 2nd week of july . Because our current version of Outlook
is 2007 (migration to 2013 is due thissummer) we've configured NTLM authentication for OA.
Exchange setup: 8 Multirole (CAS/MBX) virtual (VMware) Servers: each 4 cores, 24 Gb memory (reserved) : Windows 2012 SP1, Exchange 2013 SP1 (15.0.847.4030)
Right now we're facing client connectivity issue's: Outlook Anywhere clients are continiously losing connection with exchange, some people (outllook 2007/exc. 2007) report every minute or worse.... Moving the mailboxes of affected people results in
less problems: Sometimes no disconnects for 10 to 30 minutes, then reconnects every minute for some time.
We've already set the timeout for the oa-pool in our network proxy (riverbed steelapp) to 20 minutes and the minimum keep alive on the 2013 servers to 120 seconds which improved Oultook 2013 clients; before I experienced reconnects every minute, after every
10 to 30 minutes (with periods of reconnects every minute)
testconnectivity.microsoft.com gives positive results (apart from a nspi warning about server side encryption)
testing with rpcping according to
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2008/06/20/3405633.aspx gives some interesting results:
I've tested all (8) CAS 2013 servers over ports 6001, 6002 and 6003; each 100 rpcpings with a for loop: every response was either about 500 ms or about 21 Seconds ?!?
How can we furher troubleshoot the reason of the long reply time. Eventlogs (and SCOM with exchange 2013 MP) show no relevant events or alerts.

I've repeated above test this afternoon: All test resulted in about 40-60 (of 100) replies >20 seconds

We've changed a timeout setting in the Steelapp virtual server (old: 10 sec; new: disabled) the connections between Outlook and Exchange are, when established, very stable (almost no failed request anymore)
However there still existst a conectivity issue:
The 8 Exchange 2013 servers are placed in 2 different Active Directory sites (4 servers in each site) and I have found that a cross site rpcping consequently takes more than 20 seconds (with the loadbalancer bypassed ! !) where a rpcping on the
same AD-site takes 200-300 miliseconds...
rpcping -t ncacn_http -o RpcProxy=Host-in-site-A -P "user,domain,password" -H 2 -F 3 -a connect -u 10 -v 3 -s RpcProxy=Host-in-site-B -I "user,domain,password" -e 6001 => 20+ seconds
rpcping -t ncacn_http -o RpcProxy=Host-in-site-A -P "user,domain,password" -H 2 -F 3 -a connect -u 10 -v 3 -s RpcProxy=Host-in-site-A -I "user,domain,password" -e 6001 => 200 miliseconds
rpcping -t ncacn_http -o RpcProxy=Host-in-site-B -P "user,domain,password" -H 2 -F 3 -a connect -u 10 -v 3 -s RpcProxy=Host-in-site-B -I "user,domain,password" -e 6001 => 200 miliseconds
rpcping -t ncacn_http -o RpcProxy=Host-in-site-B -P "user,domain,password" -H 2 -F 3 -a connect -u 10 -v 3 -s RpcProxy=Host-in-site-A -I "user,domain,password" -e 6001 => 20+ seconds
The same tests with our Exchange 2010 CAS and MBX (NO multirole) shows fast (300 ms.) with every combination. The servers are both on the same networks in each site
We've already started talking with the network guy's: There should be no rules between both networks.
OWA, Autodiscover, EAS all work fine.
How or where to troubleshoot this slow response between two AD site's ??

I cannot get my Apple TV to connect to my Netgear router. I can get it to connect if I disable the security for the password but once I enable it it won't connect.

I have an issue with connecting to my Netgear router. I have tried a lot of different options on my router but the only way I can get it to connect is to disable my security password and I don't want to leave my network exposed without a password. I have tried resetting, updating my software and restarting the Apple TV. I just bought this last week and haven't gotten to use it yet.

then it throws and error message.
What is the error message?

Also have yo had a look at Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Re: Satellite L350-262 - The wireless connection adaptor is disabled

Basically my laptop is a couple of weeks old, it was working fine wirelessly until suddenly one day it stopped, it nows says The wireless connection adaptor is disabled, how can I resolve this? any suggestions?
Thanks

Can you please provide more details?
Can you see the WLan card in device manager?
Are there any yellow exclamation marks?
Does the other FN buttons work properly?
Is your BIOS up to date? Did you set it to default settings?
If not do this!
Last solution; try system recovery. This will set the notebook back to factory settings.

ICloud won't connect to Outlook

I have accidentally clicked something in the folder panel on the left hand side of Outlook, and now all iCloud stuff has vanished from Outlook, as if iCloud no longer connects to Outlook. On the iCloud control panel, in the part at the top where I should be able to tick a box to set up mail, calendars etc with Outlook, it just says instead that I can look at mail and calendars on icloud. The option to connect to Outlook has gone.
This is very frustrating because it worked perfectly well until I clicked something in Outlook! How can I re-connect?

Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac then go back to System Preferences and check Mail again.

Why is my Informatica Repository Connect button is disabled?

I am installing OBI Apps on Windows and am on section 4.15 when my problem started. I have created the Repository in Informatica however the Connect button is disabled.
I checked the Informatica Service on the Services Control Panel and I find it started.
DAC Server is also running.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks!
-Rowena

i found the solution to my own problem. had to configure the domain in informatica (see online help) and then instead of using oracle_bi_dw_base as repository name, use whatever it is that shows up on the repositories list on the domain config screen.

I can see an RSS folder from SharePoint on my phone (yay!) - is there a way to have this with the "Connect to Outlook" option?

I can see an RSS folder from SharePoint on my phone (yay!) - is there a way to have this with the "Connect to Outlook" option?
We've got a bevy of test phones here and I've been able to see RSS feeds in an Exchange setup using Android (along with other folders) but no Lists that were hooked up using "Connect to Outlook" button from SharePoint.

Hi,
You are viewing Mobile view of the site into your phone. If you open the same site in normal PC view i.e. the same look which you have in your computer then it will give you an option to connect to outlook.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the suggestion but clicking on 'Connect to Outlook' from various phones doesn't seem to work. "This webpage is not available." -- I didn't really expect it to do anything as I think this was meant to be done on a computer. And then
the result is that the documents would be available in Outlook.
And then, my question kicks in: is it possible to see these files that are now in Outlook on a phone that's connected to the Exchange Server.

Missing "Connect to Outlook" in action menu.

I have an issue with at some Windows XP SP2, IE 7 systems.
The “Connect to Outlook” doesn’t shows up in the action menu. As far as I can see this is not an issue with the MOSS server but a client problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,
I have found solution.Please try it for me it is working fine.
According to the MS support site this has to do with the security settings in IE11:
1.Open Internet Explorer
2.Click on Tools at the top and select Internet Options
3.Click the Security Tab
4.Click Local Intranet
5.Click Sites
6.Click Advanced and all of the intranet sites will reappear in the websites box, make sure there is a check box in the Require server verification box
7.Click Close
8.Click Ok
9.Click Ok [done]
Thanks,

Can't connect to Outlook 2010

I have purchased a Blackberry 9300 and the very first thing I tried to do is export my contacts from Outlook on my computer to my new cell phone. I thought that was going to be smotth and easy, but… surprise, my phone can’t connect to Outlook!
This is what I did: connected my phone to my computer and went into synchronization setup for the Address Book from the BB Desktop Manager. A list of available applications is displayed and includes Outlook Express, ASCII importer/exporter and Yahoo, but no Outlook 2010.
I found an article mentioning that this happens if Outlook doesn’t have a MAPI client installed, but I’m not convinced that this is the source of my problem, so I wanted to ask to this forum before embarking in some changes to my Office 2010 software.
I updated the device softare to the latest versions, the device properties panel says “Platform version 6.6.0.223” “Application version: 6.0.0.600”

Hello anvi123,
Do you know if you have you Outlook 2010 configured to use Click-to-run technology?
