The Macbook previously had Office 2011 installed on it with all updates. I purchased Office 365 Personal so I would be able to install Office on the iPad and share my Outlook Calendar and Contact data. I was planning to install OWA onto the iPad and thereby keep my contacts and calendar in sync.

I successfully added the account information to Outlook 2011 as directed. However, a yellow dot remains beside the account in the Outlook preferences, indicating it is not connecting. Therefore the information in Outlook is not being uploaded. I have tried adjusting settings to no avail.

I did some research and found one article that suggested this wouldn't work with Outlook 2011 and another suggesting an additional purchase was needed. If so that was not made very clear. Can anyone assist?
