Sync with Outlook Calender

Future MBP owner and new to Mac.
I am 100% dependent on Microsoft's calender. What I basically do is the following:
I'll put an event on my Microsoft calender (windows) while at work.
I then "invite" myself to the event, send the email to my home computer.
When I get home I accept the event and it's now in my Microsoft Calender at home (windows again).
My question: Will iCal and the email program that comes with the MacOS be able to do the same or will I have to get MS Office for my future Mac

There are some additional troubleshooting steps you can look at in these articles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2776.

  • TS1347 IPAD calender not syncing with outlook calender

    After updating to itunes my ipad calender does not update with outlook calender. It has not ever been a problem! I've synced several times and items that are in outlook are not appearing on my IPAD.

    What version of Outlook do you have? It's possible that iOS6 has limited backwards compatibility.

  • TS4118 Ever since I got the iphone 5  my phone/icloud calender and contacts will not remain synced with Outlook.  I am constantly having to sign in and sign out and  unlink and re link to Outlook.

    Ever since I got the iphone 5  my phone/icloud calender and contacts will not remain synced with Outlook.  I am constantly having to sign in and sign out and  unlink and re link to Outlook.  this creates multiple categories of contacts and calenders and I have no idea which is syncing with my phone, ipad, outlook.  Help.  thanks.

    Sounds like the Outlook plugin isn't working properly.  You could try a couple of things:
    Go to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs, uninstall iCloud, the download and install the iCloud contol panel for Windows again from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455.  Then sign back into your iCloud account and check your syncing settings again.
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  (Uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.)  This will replace the Outlook plugin.
    Then try your calendar again and see if it will sync properly now.

  • Can't sync calender with outlook calender

    I am trying to sync my outlook calender with my calender on my iPad but can't figure it out. When I try to go to info tab in iTunes it says this for calender option "Your calendars are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPad." Yet my outlook calender is not syncing, nor does it sync on my iPhone either even with me selecting to sync outlook calender. I have tried to search through others and could not find one that answers my problems.

    I was able to fix it somehow by deleting the calendars on my iPad and iPhone and turning off iCloud calendar it finally let me select outlook calendar to sync by also selecting to replace calendar in advanced settings. But only by selecting both. It only took 6 months for Apple to allow me to do so because I have selected the outlook calendar before and wouldn't sync.
    I have Windows 7 and MS Outlook 10

  • 5800 XM: Unable to access and sync with Outlook af...

    I'm using:
    1) Microsoft Outlook 2007
    2) Windows XP
    3) Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
    Before I upgraded my PC Suite, everything worked well and I can sync my mobile phone with Outlook (Calender + Contacts + Notes). But after the upgrade, PC Suite can not access Outlook when I created settings in PC Sync. The error message window (titled: Microsoft Office Outlook Offline Folders) displays such an error: "File access is denied. You do not have the permission required to access the file C:\Documents and Settings\rogeli\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook0.ost.".
    Browsed other posted threads in this forum and found a possible way to solve this problem (/discussions/board/message?board.id=pcsuite&message.id=35221&query.id=381777#M35221):
    1. uninstall the PC Suite (A FIRST STEP THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED!!!!!!!!)
    2. go to "start-->run-->regedit"
    3. go to "edit-->find" and type "nokia"
    4. start removing all the "nokia" related keys ( it takes around 30 minutes to erase them all.)
    5. install the new PC suite 7.1
    6. click "connection" and then "Bluetooth" (not USB cable)
    7. reboot
    I tried this procedure, but it still doesn't work.
    Someone also suggested to use the pc suite cleaner from http://www.nokia-asia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/nokia-pc-suites/how-to/nokia-pc... to do the same thing. I tried it too. No positive result.
    Basically my bluetooth and USB connections are both working properly.
    Anyone can help me?

  • Fixing iphone sync with outlook

    There are multiple threads about problems snycing iTunes with Outlook (iPad, iPhone etc.).  This affects Outlook calendar and contacts, often creating multiple contact lists and false calendar entires, often pre-fixed "ModGrp" or ModCal".  After multiple tries I think I have figured out what you need to do: here's what worked for me, I hope it works for you. 
    First the cause.  If your PC/Mac has crashed with Outlook open you probably have bad data in Outlook. Most software is fault-tolerant to this but not iTunes (my seventh software to link to Outlook and the only one not fault tolerant, so I'm certain it's an iTunes problem).  I have written this for solving contact problems with explanation afterwards for calendars (you'll change item 6 and read the footnote).  Read the instructions first so you know what you're about to do.  You will have to rename a folder and delete your iPhones history but otherwise that's about it.
    1)    Download scanpst.exe from Microsoft, instructions are at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227.  Print this, you'll need it at step 5
    2)    Close both Outlook and iTunes
    3)    Got to C:\Users\[Your username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\ 
           In File Manager use Folder Options from the Tools menu and select Show hiden files and folders from the View Tab, if you can't see this folder
    4)    Rename the folder \SyncServices as \SyncServices.old or something.  Once you have finished you can delete this folder
    5)    Use scanpst.exe (step 1 above) to fix your Outlook file.  Instructions for this are at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227 noted above
    6)    When scanpst is complete and has closed, open Outlook and go to your contact list.  Select each ModGrp and hit Delete, then confirm deletion
    7)    Be sure not to delete any contact lists that you want to retain, then close Outlook
    8)    Open iTunes with your iPhone/Pad/iWhatever plugged in to USB and select iPhone/iPad/iWhatever
    9)    Select your iWhatever in the Devices list on the left and select Preferences from the Edit menu at the top
    10)  Click the Devices button in the dialog box and click Reset Snyc History, just in case.  Click OK to close the Dialog Box
    11)  At the top of your iPhone Device window click the Info button (second from the left right at the top)
    12)  Deselect Contacts, Calendars and Mail options so iTunes doesn't sync with Outlook in any way
          You'll get a prompt to remove contacts/whatever lists from your iWhatever device.  Choose the Remove Contacts button
    13)  Hit Apply or Sync (bottom right of iTunes).  This should have cleared iTunes of bad ModGrp sync lists and iPhone contacts etc. 
          Next we'll restore these from Outlook
    14)  Reselect to sync with Outlook Contacts, Calendars and Mail - the options you deselected in step 12.  Hit Apply or Sync
          The above should restore all the valid contact and other data from Outlook onto your iPhone etc
    15)  Once sync has completed reopen Outlook and check the bad MdGrp lists have gone.  Unplug iPhone and check you don't have multiple ModGrp lists
    I haven't had calender problems but my understanding from posts to this forum is that in step 6 above, you may have to export the appointments calendars from your calendar and then delete the calendar.  It's much more involved than having a contacts list problem.
    If you choose to tidy up aftwards, go back to steps 3 and 4 and delete the backup .old folder as iTunes created  a new one when you opened it at step 8.
    I have run the above three times now and it works every time.  Since every tenth or so time I open iTunes it causes my PC to lock, usually with Outlook open, so I expect this to be a frequent event.  iTunes is well documented as a digustingly bad piece of software and seems to be the penalty we pay for having an iPhone, which actually works.  Maybe when Apple adopts Flash I'll buy an iPad and double the number of times I have to run it, but not otherwise.  iTunes and Flash are the two main reasons I have not bought a Mac or iPad.
    Have fun.

    Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
    It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
    Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
        Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
        Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
        Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
        Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
    End Sub
    Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
        For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
            If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
                objFolders.Remove( i )
            Else
                If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                    Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
                End If
            End If
        Next i
    End Sub

  • ITune not in sync with outlook...

    Hi every one...my firts post here in this forum..
    I just got my first ipod (5thG 30gig)and have the latest iTunes installed(v.7.0.2.16)with OS Windows XP SP2.
    When i try and sync my contacts and calender from outlook iTunes keeps crashing saying it's encountered a problem and must quit.... I can still use iTunes to load music etc. but as soon as i tic the box for sync with outlook it crashes...
    Is there anyone else with the same problem...and more importenly....is there a solution??
    I've downloaded "ipodsync" trial version so i do have all the info on my ipod, trial runs out shortly and will need to use iTunes to sync my calender etc. I could buy the product but it would seem uneccesary since iTune is "allegedly" capable of doing the job.
    Please help...!!!!!

    I think I may have solved this problem by making sure I don't have conflicts in my Outlook Calendar.
    To find conflicts, open Outlook and view your Calendar and set the view to "Active Appointments" (list of current calendar entries) and check that the list doesn't include entries with warnings (a red icon is shown beside the appointment I think). Fix the conflicts and then the Calendar sync might start to work.
    I had the same problem as you and then I started experimenting with Outlook macros for exporting in bulk the Calendar. When running my macro against Calendar entries, I came across an error message while debugging that made me clue-in on this problem.

  • New Palm - Sync with Outlook

    I recently had to purchase a new palm centro. My previous palm centro was synced with Outlook and I had no issues. I would like to sync my new phone with my current calender and contacts in my outlook but I am having issues. Nothing is being moved onto my phone when I sync. HELP!
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    Ok, look in the username dropdown in Palm desktop and see how many usernames you have in Palm desktop.
    Look on your Centro in hotsync. In the upper right corner is the hotsync username asociated with the Centro. Is this the name in Palm desktop that you were sync'ing with previously? If not, you need to erase the existing username on the Centro and then select the existing username when you sync again.
    A hard reset will erase the username and all the data on the Centro.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software will not Sync with Outlook

    Hello,
    I recently installed Blackberry Desktop Manager 7.1 for Windows on a PC and it will not allow me to sync with outlook calendar, memos and contacts.  It will however sync windows Contacts, if I try to select the option to sync with calendar or memos it gives me an error that now compatible software can be found and to visit blackberry.com/desktop/docs.  I am running Outlook 2010 32bit in Windows 7 with the latest Blackberry desktop software.  I am not to familiar with Blackberry so any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Well I believe I have figured out the answer to my own question, I ended up having to do a repair installation for Office 2010 and I was able to sync from outlook to the Blackberry.

  • Pearl 8110 will not sync with Outlook Calendar

    I have a Blackberry Pearl 8110, and I upgraded the Desktop Manager, then it quit syncing with outlook calendar.  It does sync with noes, memos, addresses, but no calendar.  when the sync is getting to the calendar it says "please wait" then just kicks me out.  No error message in the log, nothing.  I even retrograded back to 4.7.0.17, but no changed.  Here is what else I have:
    Blackberry 4.5.0 Core Applications 4.5.0
    Blackberry 4.5.0 System Software Properties
    Blackberry MDS runtime Properties 4.5.0.20
    The calendar is the big thing for me.  Any Ideas??
    Thanks

    I just wanted to let you know that I'm having the same problem with my 8120 and it started on the 18th.  I spent 3 hours, 39 minutes, and 42 seconds on the phone with BB support yesterday with no luck and we tried every trick they could think of.  I'll certainly let you know if I find any information since I too can't live without my calendar. 

  • Calendar Will Not Sync With Outlook

    Calendar won't sync with Outlook 2003. Tasks, memos, and contacts will though. Under default services, it lists Facebook as my Calendar (CICAL). What do I need to do to change this so that my calendar syncs properly?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I think I have the very same problem, but I'm not techno-savy enough to understand the solution. Can you elaborate more? Like where do I find "Default Services"? And, where do I find "CICAL"? Please, make my day. Thanks

  • How can I get iCloud to sync with Outlook 2011 calendars??

    Recently got a new MBA11 and use an iPhone and rely heavily on Outlook. All I want to do is be able to sync my calendars and contacts across devices. When I used to be on Windows I could simply do this with Google Calendars and Google sync.
    Outlook 2011 isn't or doesn't support syncing with google (not sure who's fault this is).
    I thought iCloud would fix this however iCloud creates new calendars in iCal that won't sync with Outlook.
    Does anyone know a work around?
    Personally I would have thought this kind of thing would be simple, easy and a necessary function whether it be on google, apple or microsofts part!!

    Microsoft have not made Outlook for Mac compatible with iCloud since they haven't bothered to include support for the industry standard CalDAV and CardDAV protocols iCloud uses.
    See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915
    Apple cannot do anything to rectify this, as they don't make Microsoft Office. It is in Microsoft's hands.
    It wasn't necessary to buy Office for Mac to sync with iCloud. All Macs come with all the applications required for syncing with iCloud for free.
    Use Apple's Mail, Address Book and iCal.

  • How do I remove one of the calendars from iCloud but keep it on the iPhone to sync with Outlook by USB and keep the other calendars synced on iCloud ?

    iPhone 5, Macs and iPads at home, Windoze7 system at work. 
    Using iCloud to sync calendars, contacts, etc on all the home devices.  Used USB cable to sync at work with the Windows system, with the Outlook 2010 corporate account (corporate server).  I need only the Outlook calendar to be synced, syncing the contacts created too many problems with duplication, etc.  No need for that.  Worked fine until the latest upgrate to iOS7 and iTunes 11.1.  Used to have a calendar that was not on iCloud and was simply and exclusively syncing between the iPhone and the Windows computer at work. The other 3 calendars synced fine with the macs and iOS devices via iCloud but not with the machine at work - keeping private records private.
    Upon the iOS upgrade, all calendars are now on iCloud.  I am no longer able to remove one - for security too - from the iCloud and sync it with the Windows computer exclusively.  I managed to sync it once on the PC with iTunes by switching iCloud off on the iPhone before connection by USB cable.  Trying it again, it tells me that it will erase all items on the Outlook account (the "more than 25% of your records are going to change" alert) and won't add or modify any.  I stopped the sync in time...
    Tried on the iCloud site for a solution to remove the calendar, nothing.
    There is no iCloud setup on this corporate computer - no access permitted. The USB cable connection is the only solution and up to the upgrade of the iOS this went seamlessly.
    Any solution out there?
    Thanks

    I share a similar situation (usb iTunes sync with Outlook with my corporate laptop; personal calendar on icloud).
    With IOS7, at first, iTunes/Windows does not propose Outlook sync anymore. I need to switch off calendar from iTunes to enable usual usb sync with Outlook. I had to sync it twice while checking "replace iphone data" to get a stable behaviour (like before) IOS7.When I try to re-enable icloud calendars, it proposes me to merge them...
    I did not test merging so far...
    IOS7 and iTunes 11.1 are not completely polished ;-)

  • I use iCal, work wants me to sync with Outlook, how do I do this?

    Dear Community.
    I'm happily using iCloud to run my diary across all my Apple devices, how do I get my current setup to sync with Outlook so my office can see my diary?
    I don't want to change how I make appt's, I can make an appt on my phone, iPad or MacBook and it'll sync nicely, I just need to be able to share one specific Work diary in my iCloud/ Apple account with Outlook. I use Outlook on my MacBook for email only, I have no interest in using the calendar function other than to keep it synced to allow my colleagues to access it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's bad enough that people want to be able to track my daily schedules, without having to spend hours trying to figure out how to keep the system I have for diary management and not have to move everything just to placate someone.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Crackyrich,
    I may have a possible solution for you.  Since you have everything set up in iCloud, have you tried the Calendar sharing feature?  You can create a work calendar to keep it separate from your personal calendar, and share the work calendar privately or publicly.   Here's how:
    iCloud: Calendar sharing overview
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2689
    You can share a calendar both publicly and privately with other people. Sharing gives you flexibility in managing calendars. For example, you could create a calendar for your child’s sports team and share it privately with just the coaches so they can edit it. You could also share it publicly with all the parents so they can view (but not change) it whenever they want. 
    Sharing works as follows:
    Public calendars can be shared with anyone. To access public calendars, visitors need to use Calendar on a Mac, Microsoft Outlook on a Windows computer, or any other app that supports the iCalendar file format. 
    A public calendar can’t be edited by anyone but the calendar owner (the creator).
    Private calendars can be shared with other iCloud users. 
    Participants can view the calendar using iCloud Calendar; the Calendar app on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or a Mac; or Microsoft Outlook on a Windows computer. 
    As the owner (creator) of a shared calendar, you assign edit privileges to the invitees to control who can modify the calendar. There are two types of access privileges that can be assigned: 
    Participants with View Only access can:
    View the calendar and change their view (from day to week, for example), without affecting the view of other participants
    Change their own calendar preferences 
    Participants with View & Edit access privileges can do everything listed above, plus:
    Create and delete calendar events
    Change details (for example, the name, date, and time) for calendar events
    Track the responses of guests invited to a calendar event
    Participants can’t invite new people to a shared calendar.
    Note:    If multiple participants try to edit a shared calendar at the same time, the changes that are saved first are kept and reflected in the calendar. The person whose changes arenʼt saved sees a message that his or her changes werenʼt saved. 
    If you disable your iCloud account, any shared calendars you created become unavailable; all participants automatically receive an email notifying them that the calendar is no longer shared.

    iCloud: Share a calendar with others
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690
    iCloud: Share a calendar with others
    You can share a calendar both publicly and privately with other people. For specifics about viewing and editing privileges for shared calendars, and how participants can access the calendars, see Calendar sharing overview. 
    Share a calendar privately
    Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
    Note:    You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.” 
    Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
    Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only). 
    For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
    When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
    Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
    Share a calendar publicly
    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.
