Managing an Organizational Calendar in Outlook for Exchange 365

Dear Friends,
One of our assistants manages the calendar for our entire organization, which she would like to share with the remainder of the organization. She currently manages the organization's events on her default calendar, associated with her domain account.
Hence, when I access our organization's calendar, instead of seeing the organization's name (i.e. Walmart, etc.) at the top, it reads Sally Fields, the name of our assistant. We would like the organizational calendar, when shared, to read the organization's
name, instead.
However, many of our events are generated within another program (EMS), which will only export data to the default calendar (which it refers to as a personal calendar).
So, that leaves me with several questions:
1. Can I change the share name of the default calendar within Outlook?
2. If not, can I designate another calendar, with a different share name, as the default calendar?
3. If not, can I set up another calendar, with a different share name, that will automatically grab events from the default calendar as it changes?
4. May someone have a different idea for accomplishing this goal?
Many thanks for any ideas on how to facilitate this.

Why not create a shared mailbox for the calendar? Then your app can write to its default Calendar folder, and you can share it out for others to use.

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.

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.

Syncing iCloud Calendar with Outlook for Mac (new Outlook)

Does anyone know if it's possible to sync your iCloud Calendar with Outlook for Mac yet (Outlook for Mac is the new Outlook that comes with Microsoft Office 365)? If so, how do you do it?
I've done some research on this question, and most of the responses are a few years old... wanted to see if anything has changed since. I find it weird how I can sync my iCloud Calendar with Outlook 2013 on my PC, but not with Outlook for Mac on my Mac--which is practically the same thing.
Thanks ahead of time!

Greetings kipp0606,
If you would like to use iCloud mail in an email client, you may want to review the following article. It contains the mail server settings you'll need to set it up:
iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients - Apple Support
Use these mail server settings if you need to manually set up your email app (client) to use an iCloud email account.
Do you need these mail server settings?
You can use the mail server settings in this article to manually set up your email app to send and receive email with an iCloud email account. However, you shouldn't need to do that if you meet the iCloud system requirements and can use any of these setup methods:
OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later: Use iCloud Preferences.
Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2010 or later: Use iCloud for Windows.
iOS 7 or later: Use iCloud settings.
If you're using the Mail app in OS X Snow Leopard v10.6, use the mail server information in the iCloud Mail setup instructions for Snow Leopard instead of the settings below.Mail server settings
Refer to your email app's documentation for information about how to use these settings. iCloud Mail uses the IMAP and SMTP standards supported by most modern email apps. iCloud does not support POP.
IMAP information for the incoming mail server
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 993
Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS or STARTTLS instead.
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
Password: Your iCloud password

Trying to sync Sharepoint calendar w/ Outlook for mac; Protocol Error; Used about:config and get same error.

I'm trying to sync a Sharepoint calendar with Outlook on my mac. When I click on "Connect to Client", I get this error:
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (stssync) isn't associated with any program.
I used the about:config instructions to create a new string:
* Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
* Right-click -> New -> Boolean -> Name: network.protocol-handler.external.foo -> Value -> true (Replacing foo with the protocol you're specifying)
* Right-click -> New -> String -> Name: network.protocol-handler.app.foo -> Value -> /path/to/app (Replacing foo with the protocol you're specifying and /path/to/app with the path to the application you want to run.
* Ensure network.protocol-handler.expose-all is set to true.
The path I used (which opens Outlook if I click on the icon) is:
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Microsoft Outlook.app
I'm still getting the same error message.
Please help me to allow Firefox to open stssync pages so that I can sync my calendars.
Thank you in advance.

Duplicate calendars using Outlook for WINDOWS & iTunes

I sync my iphone at home with Outlook 2003 and at work with Outlook 2007. Hence, I get 1 - 2 extra calendars, each time I sync.
Do you think I would be rid of this problem if I used the same version of Outlook?

Hi,
What type of email account do you use (POP, IMAP, MAPI or Exchange)?
There are lots of reasons which might cause duplicate email items in Outlook. You can refer to the article below, it has listed the most common cause out there. You can work your way down to check if anything works for you:
Check if you have "Leave copy of message on server" checked.
Check for duplicate mail accounts.
Optimize your Rules configuration.
Firewall or Anti-Virus protection settings.

Integrate Google calendar with Outlook for Mac?

I'm a fairly new MacBook Pro user (OSX 10.8.4) with MS Office for Mac (including Outlook) installed (v14.3.6). Is it possible to integrate my Google Calendar account with Outlook, and if so, how?
Thanks!

There are not many Outlook users here, and Outlook is not an Apple product. Your best path is to ask in Microsoft's Office:Mac forums here:

They have very helpful forums like these with other Office:Mac users contributing and you will often get a Mac-using MS employee giving help

Intermittent Calendar Sync, Outlook 2007, Exchange 2003, Windows Mobile 6, Palm Treo Pro.

Hello,
We are having a problem with a couple of our devices, one being a Palm Treo Pro.
The users have noticed that some of the calendar appointments they receive are not always updating in either their outlook, or on their device, it is apparently random as to whether it updates to the device and not outlook or vice versa.
That is as much detail as I currently have; I am asking them to supply more observations as I know this doesn't give us alot to go on but thought I would ask in case someone else has experienced similar issues.
The other thing I noticed is that the windows update tool fails to work with the following message: "Connection to the update server not available. Check data connection setting and ensure device date and time are correct."
The date and time are correct (live in the UK) and they can access the internet and emails on the device to connection settings must be working.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Marc

A Security screen pops up and I cannot get Outlook to open.
Suggest you either provide a screenshot of what exactly appears or at least provide specifics about the content of what you're encountering (specifics = content as it appears <exactly> on your screen without any para-phrasing). Without that - anyone
would just be guessing as to what you're referring to.

How can I share my a public calendar from iCal (through iCloud) with Outlook for Windows users?

I have a public work calendar that I wish to share with colleagues in the office. No issues for those having a Mac or an iPhone, but how can I share the calendar with Outlook for Windows users?
Thanks for the help!

Hello ramirofromstrockholm,
The steps detailed below explain how to go about publicly share a calendar (which doesn't require that one be an iCloud user to accept).
Click the Share button to the right of the calendar you want to share, then select Public Calendar.
Note: You can also share the same calendar privately. For instructions, see the previous task, “Share a calendar privately.”
To invite people to view the calendar, click Email Link.
Type one or more email addresses in the To field, then click Send.
The people you specify automatically receive an invitation email that includes the calendar’s URL. An invitee doesn’t need to be an iCloud user to accept an invitation to view a shared public calendar.
In the sidebar, a shared calendar has a dark Share button.
You can also resend invitations to one or more invited participants at any time.
iCloud: Share a calendar with others

Calendar sync problem with Mail for Exchange

I have troubles syncing my calendar with Mail for Exchange.
I've configured MfE the same way I did on my N8-00 and it worked perfectly there. On my new N9 it just syncs Mail and the ToDo list of from the Exchange Server. Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?
Also, when I remove my MfE settings, the Calendars still are in the Calendar App. How can I delete them?

Hi,
There could be some problem with the contact sync, because you had synched with MFE . Remove the existing sync for Mail for exchange and then try creating a new sync and then check, That should maybe solve the issue.
I had mfe configured and then removed and now then i sync with the Address book and Ical. Seems to be working fine for me, just that i use a N95.
Hopefully it fixes, let me know the outcome.
Cheers
Sandy

Calendar Sync/Outlook 2007 Issues

Help! I have a 8330 through Verizon and have major calendar sync issues that only seem to be getting worse. I'm using Outlook 2007 running Vista-Business. My Blackberry had been syncing fine for the first few months, but a week ago the calendar sync stopped working/crashing during the sync process (canceling the task). Address book, memo pad, and tasks still sync OK. Now the system does not even indicate the Calendar is trying to sync., it just bypasses that part of the sync process entirely even though I definitely have Calendar checked off in DTM. I have two email accounts associated with the Blackberry, hotmail, and my business email (through Gmail). I would like to be able to use two calendars but simply read them as one on Outlook and the Blackberry. I want to ensure all mtg requests sent to either email address post to one calendar. Prevous to my sync issue, I have had issues where I accept an appt on my blackberry, but the message gets deleted from my Outlook, then unfortunately I can not sync it to my Outlook. I've tried many of the suggestions posted on previous threads with no luck, and would appreciated help from anyone who can walk me through this.
One last issue I seem to have now is that when I send an email through Outlook it automatically posts the sent mesage on my Blackberry, even though I have Hide Sent messages selected in Email Options. Very Confused?????
thanks

Same problem here. The blackberry calendar has two sets of calendars. I can set the BB to show both, but only one syncs with Outlook.
Two questions:
1) How do I sync both calendars with Outlook for a combined view on Outlook?
2) Or, how do I convert calandar items on the BB from one email account to another?
Any help appreciated

Unable to sync outlook for mac 2011

Hi All,
I have been unable to sync my outlook contacts and calender. iTunes wants to sync to the apple address book and ical. Is there any way to fix this problem? btw all programs and iphone and ipad have been updated to the latest versions.
Thanks,
Mike

This is a user to user help forum only. Apple does not provide direct support or answer any questions here. If you want Apple to weigh in on this, you need to call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.
Is there an option available to sync contacts and calendar events with Outlook for the Mac under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes? If not, the option is not available which means this is not supported yet. Outlook for the Mac is a new product.
As already provided, the iPhone supports syncing contacts and calendar events with Entourage which is not direct with Entourage. The iPhone syncs direct with the Address Book and iCal which in turn is kept synced with the Entourage address book and calendar. Outlook for the Mac is just a name change and upgrade for Entourage on the Mac. Entourage includes a preference setting for sync services with Apple's Address Book and iCal, which must be enabled with Entourage. Outlook for the Mac likely includes the same thing.
Have you visited Microsoft's website for Outlook for the Mac? I'm sure they provide support there or someplace for Outlook for the Mac.
