Is there an easy way to sync ical to outlook for mac 2011?

I have spent all day trying to synch Ical with outlook for mac 2011.  This is so confusing.  Can someone help me with a step by step that is current?  Does it matter if I have more than one email account on outlook for mac 2011?

Hi,
thanks for your help....I have followed the instructions and it sort of works.  My summary is as follows:
when I enter an appointment in iCal
     the appointment doesn't appear in Outlook          
     the appointment does appear on my iPhone          
when I enter an appointment in Outlook
     the appointment does appear in iCal                   
     the appointment doesn't appear on my iPhone    
I hope you an /or others can assist.

  • How to link iCal with Outlook for Mac 2011?

    Hello Apple people.
    Just got my MacBook Pro (Late 2011) and am trying to enable Outlook to link with iCal so I can get meeting alerts on my iPhone 4.  I prefer using Outlook for email and calendar usage.  I've linked it with iCal, but can't get information to transfer between the two.  Any thoughts?

    Greetings,
    Before doing any troubleshooting I would recommend backing up your data (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553).  Calendars and contacts tend to be important to people and are complex in nature which increases the chances of mishaps.
    Make sure you have installed all software updates from Apple by going to Apple > Software Update.
    Make sure you have installed all software updates for your Microsoft software (Open Outlook and then go to Help > Check for Updates).
    Restart your computer (Apple Menu > Restart).
    The first thing I would suggest is following all steps in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2452489.
    Once this is complete you should see the calendars you have added to Outlook when you click the "Calendars" button in iCal under the "On My Mac" section.
    If the calendars do not show up reset Sync Services: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627.
    Hope that helps.

  • Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

  • HT1692 Is there any way to add my iPhone contacts to Outlook for Mac 2011?  Syncing through iTunes does not seem to do that.

    For reasons that trace back to a problematic update of OS X a few months ago, I lost all the contact i had in Outlook for Mac 2011.  Is there any way to transfer/copy contacts from my iPhone into Outlook?  I tried syncing thrugh iTunes, but that accomplished n

    I have a similar problem.
    Syncing my iPhone via USB cable and iTunes to Outlook 2011 syncs only my calender correctly to Outlook 2011. My iPhone contacts sync wit Apple's contacts, where I don't want them.
    Have you been able to find the solution to your problem?

  • ICal sync to Outlook for Mac 2011

    I'm running Outlook for Mac 2011 on OSX 10.8.4. We have a hosted Exchange service for email and calendar sharing amongst colleagues (not all on Macs), this works fine as does sync to the Exchange accounts to/from mobile devices where we can all also have our private appointments displayed simultaneously.  Any Exchange Calendar events also show up in iCal.
    What I would really like is for any non-business events added in iCal on the iCloud account to show up in Outlook so I don't double-book from Outlook. The information I've read seems to suggest the lack of iSync in OSX 10.7 onwards is a problem, my questions is have I understood this correctly and does anyone know a way around this ?
    Stuart

    I'm afraid the answer is that you can't, because Microsoft have not provided it with the necessary protocols. This thread looks at it in some detail, including an official response from Microsoft:

  • How to sync Outlook for Mac 2011 calender with iCal

    I am currently running IOS 10.6.8.
    I use Outlook for Mac 2011 and I have been having problems syncing my appointments with iCal.
    I have outlook set up correctly in the preferences to sync all calendars but this does not appear to happen.

    Here's some screen grabs of the settings I use. I do not use the online iCal calendar. My iphone is synced to outlook and the local ical calendar hosted on my laptop.
    I can enter and receive/accept appointments using any of these three calendars and they all update and sync.
    The calendar called "No category" is my outlook calendar.
    If I enter any appointments they have to be entered on the calendar called "work" on my laptop and phone – otherwise outlook does not pick them up.
    As demichae said in his post above "Outlook doesn't see the stuff in iCal" – at least the online iCal stuff.
    It's not very straightforward.
    Hope this helps.

  • Imac is 4 months old.  Using installed Outlook for Mac 2011 but now want to use ical so that I can start to use iCloud to sync with my Ipad2 and iPhone.  How do I move my calendar from outlook to ical on the iMac?

    This is my first attempt at using this forum so please be patient with me.  I am new to the apple world.  Bought an Imac desktop computer back in October and installed Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 because I was used to Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and outlook.  Now I am being told that I should be using ical for my calendar so that I will be better able to move to icloud for use between my Imac, Ipad2, and Iphone.
    The question is:  how do I move my calendar which is in "Outlook for Mac 2011" into ical on my Mac?  Do I have to remove the Outlook entries from the computer and reinstall them back to the same machine or can I somehow move calendar entries within the machine?  I appreciate any help I can get.  Thanks.

    I also already deleted my phone number from iMessage on my MBP.

  • How can i sync mac address book w/ outlook for mac 2011

    Is it possible to have the address book in Outlook for Mac 2011 sync w/ the Mac address book?  I cleaned up my contacts in the Mac address book expecting the changes to show up in my outlook address book.  Made over 200 changes that did not show up on the Outlook address book.  Seems like there should be a way to make this work.  If I add contacts from within Outlook, I'd like them to show up on all my devices.  MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm new to this platform as I was a PC guy for the last 30 years. 

    I've got Outlook up and running just fine.  Still have the problem with getting duplicate emails but I'm waiting on MS to get a fix for that in an update.  Apparently that has been an ongoing issue.  I've been in contact w/ a senior MS Outlook tech on that.  I guess I'll just have to make sure that all contact adds/edits are done in Outlook.  Then I can sync my phone or iPad and get the cloud to update the other Apple devices off that sync.  Either that or figure out how to export from the Mac address book to the Outlook address book once in a while.

    There is no way to use iCloud Dav services (contacts and calendars) in Outlook 2011 as Outlook does not support Dav services.
    Use a client that supports Dav if you want to use iCloud.

  • BB BOLD 9700 sync issues with Outlook for MAC

    Hi Support, 
    I hope that you can help me?  I have been having issues with my BB calendar not being able to sync with my Outlook for MAC calendar.  I am using BB OS 6.0, Blackberry Desktop software 2.2.0 and Mac OS X version 10.7.2.
    I have been able toget around the calendars not syncing but this morning I added iCal to iCloud, stupid move as it erased my entire calendar.
    i was wondering if someone could help me restore my Outlook calendar and have my BB and calendar sync properly.
    Please Help!!!

    Hello and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    The BlackBerry Desktop Software needs a local calendar for sync. It does not support the iCloud.
    You will need to create a new local calendar in your iCal to continue synchronizing with the Desktop Software.
    As for restoring your Outlook calendar, you will need to talk to Apple for assistance.

  • How to sync Address Book TO Outlook for Mac 2011

    I am using the native Address Book from Mac OS 10.7.5 and need to keep using it because it syncs with my iPhone. However, I am using Outlook for Mac 2011 and want the contacts to synch from Mac Address Book to Outlook's contact list.
    Synch services have been turned on in Outlook.
    Originally, I was going to switch to Mac Mail but discovered that importing mail from Outlook is a headache (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664208?start=0&tstart=0). Outlook works well and has for years so rather than going through a bunch of manual drag and dropping of folders to make mbox files, or buying software to do it, I thought getting the contacts to synch would suffice since that's all that's really needed.
    What I discovered is that Outlook will feed new contacts to Mac Address Book when they are generated in Outlook but the Mac Address Book does not feed new contacts to Outlook if they were generated in Address Book. Is this even possible? If so, how?
    Thanks,
    Karen
    I read this previous thread but it talks about contact info going FROM Outlook to Address Book instead of the other way around: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664208?start=30&tstart=0

  • Can you sync Itunes with outlook for mac

    Can you synce Itunes with Outlook fo MAC 2011?

    Not directly. What you do is set Outlook to sync to Apple's databases (Address Book, iCal, etc)  via Outlook's Tools menu -> Sync Services and then you can sync to an IOS device, which is what I presume you mean.

  • How to view my family share calendar in outlook for mac 2011 (ical)

    Hey All
    Problem:
    Want to view my family share calendar in outlook for mac 2011.
    Want to have them sync on the fly (push)
    Currently running 2 exchange mailboxes which have their own mailboxes and calendars which you can toggle between.
    For the PC this is a relatively straight forward task.. You can add an additional calendar to outlook and you are away. Wife's PC can view her own personal exchange calendar and on a separate tab she can view, edit, print etc the family share calendar.
    For outlook for Mac, I've tried a few work arounds and none of them actually work, all the Apple documentation available doesn't really cover this.
    Any help would be much appreciated
    Cheers

    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:

  • I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks.  After doing so, I noticed that my MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with the calendar/contacts/notes, thus, also not sync these info with my iPhone4s anymore.  Please help, thank you.

    Dear Sirs,
    I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks.  After doing so, I noticed the following changes:
    1) My MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes.
    2) My iPhone4s does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes anymore.
    Please help, thank you.

    Correct, USB local sync was taken away from iphones and ipads with 10.9.1 and 2. We are not allowed to speculate on rumours it might come back in 10.9.3 plus new iTunes. Either wait and see or explore Syncmate 5 beta free trial.
    icloud still works.
    Cant help with the Outlook problem.
