Viewing/sharing outlook calendars in ical

I am trying to view a colleagues outlook calendar in ical. I've gone through the process of sharing and adding via the outlook web app and i can see their calendar fine via web browser. I'm struggling to see it in iCal however. I go to add the calendar to my iMac calendar via calendar > preferences > accounts > delegation. I type in their email address and it pops up as they're a contact/we're on the same network. I add them and then in the delegation list they appear as 'greyed out'. I've gone through this process with all of my colleagues, some it works for and some it doesn't. Sometimes some of them are greyed out and other times they are there and let me tick 'show'.
All calendars are visible and working via outlook web app. Only some let me see them in iCal.
This is very frustrating! Anyone have any solutions?

Viewing Shared Outlook Calendars

I have my outlook calendar on my IPAD - no problems. However, how do I see shared calenders? In other words, on my PC, I have my default calendar and two other's calendars. On my PC I can see all three calendars but on my IPAD I only see my default calendar. I have managed to get my wife's Google Calendar on my IPAD which overlays my default calendar. There should be a way to connect my shared calendars since these other people have already shared it to my default Outlook.

Hi,
Thank you for your question.
I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue.
Thanks,

Sync Outlook calendar on iCal on a different computer?

Forgive me if this has been answered in another thread. I did a search, but I couldn't seem to find anything that answered this question specifically. If so, if someone could kindly direct me to it, I would greatly appreciate it!
Here's my set-up: I currently have a work-issued MacBook (for work), a MacBook for personal use, and a personal iPhone for both work and personal use.
On my MacBook (10.9.3) for work, Microsoft Outlook (Outlook: Mac 2011) is set-up as the email client, and I use the calendar in Outlook to view all of my work-related appointments.
On my MacBook (10.9.3) for personal use, I don't have Outlook for email, and I use iCal for all of my personal-related appointments.
On my iPhone, I use the iOS mail and calendar apps to view all of my personal and work related appointments in one place. Which is great!
So my question is, is it possible to view my Outlook calendar (on my work-issued MacBook) on iCal on my personal MacBook?
I use iCal daily to view all of my appointments, and it would be nice to see everything (personal and work) in one place (other than my iPhone). I know I can do this on my WORK-ISSUED MacBook by simply setting up my personal iCloud account to iCal, and then import from Entourage (I've done that before)....but I would rather not have my personal calendar on my work-issued laptop. And for security purposes (as well as personal preference), I can't have Outlook and my work-email installed on my personal MacBook.
So....if anyone knows a way to make this work, that would be fantastic!
Thank you!
I just found this, which is SORT OF what I'm trying to do: https://discussions.apple.com/message/8324761#8324761 ...HOWEVER, the question was marked as SOLVED for some reason, even though the response didn't actually solve it. This was back in 2008...eek. I hope someone has figured it out since then!

Thank you so much.

Shared Outlook Calendar - help!

Hi.
I have a shared outlook calendar in outlook 2010. I'd like to allow a small group of people read/write access, then a larger group to have read only access, and couldn't figure out how to set that up. I was able to grant the read/write access
to the smaller group, but then the larger group couldn't see the details of the meetings ect.
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you.

Sounds like you need to grant the larger group read access with "full details". Article below has good step by step instructions:

Shared Outlook Calendars not showing up on my phone

I have an Outlook Calendar that works on my Samsung Galaxy S4, but I have 2 other outlook calendars that are shared with me on the same account that I can not seem to get to show up on my phone. How do I get the shared outlook calendars to show up with my own calendar?

Actually, the accounts can not be added as they are not my accounts. These are two members of my family who have their own outlook accounts. They “shared” their calendars with me so that I can see them. I want to see them on my Samsung Galaxy S4 but I can’t. I can see them on my laptop and I could see them on my iPhone but when I changed to the Samsung, I can’t see them. There has got to be a way to see them.

How to import Lotus Notes or Outlook calendar into iCal ???

Is there a way to import calendar data from either Lotus Notes or Outlook calendar into iCal ? Is there a generic data type file that I must first get the calendar file into before importing into iCal ?

The file must be .ics. I used to simply use Missing Sync to get my calendars synced up, however it's not yet supported in Leopard.
So, in order to get my office Outlook data over to Ical, I simply used the following "macro"
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=136194
Simply follow the instructions...it worked well for me. all my work data got transferred over.

Is it possible to view a shared Outlook calendar in Android and/or iPad/iPhone

Is it possible to get a shared (keyword SHARED) calendar in Outlook to sync with either an android or ipad/iphone calendar? I am able to get my primary outlook calendar to sync, but not my shared calendars. I have googled this topic extensively
and from what I've seen posted on various forums, the answer is a resounding no, but I'm hoping someone here might know of a workaround!
According to Microsoft support, Active Sync on mobile devices does not support shared calendars. (as per this article:http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/158/t/13142.aspx).
The suggested work around is to not use Active Sync and instead set up an IMAP account. However, my company does not allow IMAP connections, so that's not an option.
Another possibility is to use a 3rd party tool, such as sync2 to sync to a gmail account and in turn sync the gmail calendar to the mobile device. However, that method does not seem to work with shared calendars either.
We are currently using Exchange 2007, but if upgrading to a newer version could make syncing shared calendars to mobile devices possible, I might be able to get approval to upgrade.
Any thoughts or ideas or workarounds are welcome.
Auxiliary questions: I am new to working with Exchange. Can anyone explain why syncing shared calendars with mobile devices is so difficult? Is there something in the general design that makes it problematic? Is the issue about security or technical
limitations or both (or neither)?
Thank you, Rich

I am guessing this is still the case with exchange 2007..
If anyone has a work around please share

View colleagues' exchange calendar in iCal?

Hi!
I can see my own Exchange calendar just fine with iCal 4 from the corporate Exchange server. However, colleagues have also shared their Exchange calendars with me - which I can see just fine on Webmail / Exchange 2007, but I would also like to view these shared calendars in iCal.
Any help would be well appreciated!
Thank you,
Greg.

Hi guys,
"googling" I found this applescript:
tell application "iCal"
set color of calendar "Calendar" to choose color default color {0, 0, 0}
end tell
Waiting for an Apple fix, you can use this. It's wok like a charm!

How can I add a SHARED Outlook Calendar to my iPhone?

I have Outlook for work. I have my personal calendar on there, along with my work calendar which is shared with my boss. When I sync my IPhone to Exchange, my personal calendar from Outlook syncs to my phone. The Shared calendar does not appear, however.
I don't want to use an app (I have OWA and hate it) and I want the shared cal to appear on my calendar in my phone. I also need to do so without adding my boss's email account to my phone. Help!

Depending on the version of Exchange in your environment you need to verify with your Exchange Admin that iCal publishing is enabled (Exchange 2010 or 2013) then you could send an email with a link to the shared calendar then subscribe to
it. Below is a link on how send the link once it's enabled and one for your Exchange Admin on how to enable iCal.

Thanks & Regards dhampall

Hi dhampall_79,
Ok, you could open the project you shared, and open RudiGrobler.Controls/Calendar/Themes/Generic.xaml file, and then you could find below part of code:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type local:Calendar}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type local:Calendar}">
<Border Background="#E3EFFF"
BorderBrush="#6593CF"
BorderThickness="2,2,2,2">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="50" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="38" />
<RowDefinition Height="22" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Margin="5,0,0,0">
<Button Content="Previous" Height="25" Command="{x:Static local:Calendar.PreviousDay}" Background="{x:Null}" BorderBrush="{x:Null}">
</Button>
<Button Content="Next" Height="25" Command="{x:Static local:Calendar.NextDay}" Background="{x:Null}" BorderBrush="{x:Null}">
</Button>
</StackPanel>
<Border BorderBrush="#6593CF" BorderThickness="0,0,1,1" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1" />
<local:CalendarDayHeader Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" x:Name="PART_DayHeader"/>
<ScrollViewer Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" x:Name="PART_ScrollViewer">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="50" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<local:CalendarLedger Grid.Column="0" x:Name="PART_Ledger"/>
<local:CalendarDay Grid.Column="1" x:Name="PART_Day" />
</Grid>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Above code is the appearance of the View, you could create your own view and replace
<local:CalendarLedger Grid.Column="0" x:Name="PART_Ledger"/>
<local:CalendarDay Grid.Column="1" x:Name="PART_Day" />
You could change above two lines to your control, and then you could get what you want.

Shared outlook calendar

Hello,
For business I use a couple of shared calendars on outlook. I can't work out how to see these on my iphone 3Gs.
Any advice on how to view shared calendars from outlook 2007 please?
Many thanks
Kirsten

Hi.
I sync with Exchange, as you described above. I've been succesfully doing this for my main "Calendar" in outlook. Recently was sent an invitation for a shared calendar on outlook. It doesn't sync or show up in my list of calendars on the iPhone. If I create a shared calendar myself, it will sync just fine however.
How do I sync shared calendars?
Thanks.
Eric

How to subcribe to a published Outlook calendar in iCal

I use MS Outlook for work and iCal for my personal calendar.... I use my iPhone for business and personal use. I can't use MS Exchange on my iPhone to sync my Outlook calendar without it overwriting my iCal appointments.
I have published my MS Outlook calendar [privately] and want to subscribe to it in my iCal, but have been unsuccessful.
Do I need to work-around it somehow by subscribing to it from Entourage, Google, Yahoo! etc first then subscribe to that calendar? I'm game with any work-around; whatever will work, I have tons of appointments I need to track that are business and personal. Using MS Outlook directly for any personal use is out of the question.
Bottom line - I want my MS Outlook calendar (work calendar) merged with my iCal (personal calendar) so I can have both on my iPhone.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Erica

Have you ever gotten an answer to this question? I'm researching new phones. I'm trying to merge and globalize the whole shabang. And I'm like you -- Outlook at work, iCal at home.

Importing Outlook calendar into iCal

I am relatively new to Apple and one of the few things that is taking the gloss off an otherwise happy experience of working in this new environment is my inability to import my Outlook (2003) Calendar from the work office into iCal on my home iMac. I would be grateful if anyone could tell me if this is possible, and how it might be done so that I do not overwrite the appointments I already have entered in iCal. Thanks.

Don't blame Apple for this. Blame Microsoft. ALL of Microsoft's products (Outlook, Windows Media Player, Microsoft Office,etc.) were created in proprietary & closed formats, designed to keep you "locked in" to Microsoft and Windows as long as possible. Microsoft makes it nearly impossible to move any of your data out of their products and into a competitor's products.
Apple, on the other hand, has designed all of their products with open standards and open formats, so your data is never "locked in" like it is with Microsoft.
In the meantime, luckily you can use the product Outlook2Mac to get your data over from Outlook's calendar to iCal.
