Need to Delete .ics calendar info from Mac Outlook

12. May 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,

I have an IBM.  I made an .ics file and emailed it out to our faculty.  

All those with IBMs got a shared calendar.  All those with Macs got the .ics events downloaded INTO their personal calendars.

They are miffed, and want a way to get rid of the info from their calendars.  Is there any way to do it without having to delete each and every event?

Mac Office 2011 Calendar Sync with Office 365 Premium Home

27. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , ,
I have a subscription to Office 365 Premium Home and me and my wife both have outlook.com email accounts.  I have shared a calendar with her and she is able to see on the outlook.com web based outlook, however, the shared calendar is not showing on our laptop version of Mac Office 2011.  I am able to see everything on my Windows 8 Outlook 2013 no problem.  So seems like either I haven't configurly correctly for her Mac office or maybe this feature is not available (defeating the purpose of office 365 IMHO).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm trying to accept a shared calendar. When I log into the outlook web app, the shared calendar has already been accepted and I can view it. The outlook for mac 2011 doesn't pick up this calendar. I have tried to open the calendar from using open from other user's folder. I get an error stating I don't have permissions. However, this same calendar has been accepted via OWA. Is there a solution to get the outlook for mac 2011 to get this shared calendar?  

change access for shared calendar

Hi. We use Portal.microsoftonline.com with Windows and MAC clients.
One Windows client shared him Calendar, but with rights "Folder Visible" or "Free\Busy time".
Another Windows client added this Calendar and can see only "busy" meeting.
In same time MAC client added this Calendar and can't see anything.
Then owner Calednar change permissions to "Free\Busy time, subject, location".
Now Windows client can see Free\Busy time, subject, location, but MAC client still can't anything.
And, when on MAC i look Shared Permission - they not changed. Still "Folder Visible".
Why MAC client can't see anything??? Why shared Permission not changed???

I have test Exchange 2010 SP3. I have configured there same infrastructure, and With Exchange 2010 SP3 MAC client can see shared Calendar!

Set Outlook.com shared calendar as “Primary calendar”

09. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,
I have shared my Outlook.com calendar with my spouse, also having an Outlook.com email id, as co-owner. She is able to view & modify the calendar events using the outlook.com web app, but they do not sync to her cellphone (Nokia Asha 310)

Nokia Asha tech support replied stating that only one calendar - the one set as default in outlook.com - is supported in the Mail For Exchange app. Therefore, I was instructed to set the shared calendar as default in my spouse's outlook.com account. But, the shared calendar is not listed in her outlook.com "Primary calendar" dropdown list. The list only displays the calendars that she has created herself.

Appreciate your assistance,

Hemant

Unable to see a shared calendar

26. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
Hi, my company is using Office 365. I am running Outlook for Mac 2011. Everyone else is running various Windows versions of Outlook. 

Historically to see if someone was busy, I created a meeting notice and added them to it. I could then see their free/busy time and subject information for their meetings.

Then I learned that I could open their calendars and see their time merged with mine, so that i wouldn't have to create the meeting invite. Nice! But can't get it working.

Several people have granted me reviewer access to their calendars. When I go into Outlook for Mac, select File > Open > Calendar and search for and select the person, it appears to gain access to the person's calendar. I do not get any errors. The person's name now appears in my left-hand navigation under a heading "Shared Folders"  When I check the check box next to their name (to turn on display), nothing happens. i don't see their calendar. I had expected to see their calendar items displayed, merged with mine. I do not see any of their items at all. 

If I try to add someone whose calendar i do NOT have access to, it correctly errors out with a permissions error.

Further for those calendars that I DO have access to, once I have added them as shared folders, if I create a meeting invite, add that person, and look at the scheduling assistant, their schedule is completely blank! If I remove that person from the shared folders view, and then create a new meeting invite to them, magic poof, their stuff comes back into the scheduling assistant. And yes, I believe that I am creating the meeting invite on my calendar, not theirs.

Totally confused at this point. 

What level of permissions do I need to have to see their calendars in the merged view? Reviewer? 

Does this functionality work as I have described my expectations? Am I doing something wrong (I hope) or does it just not work?

THANK YOU!

 

Shared Calendar not working

18. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
Hi,

We use Outlook.com calendar to share church event information via a Shared Calendar.  About 1-2 weeks ago, this service stopped working for us.  

The calendar is at:  https://cid-bdc4478030dc71de.calendar.live.com/calendar/private/18e9512b-ed24-434d-8948-e430c372fad1/561a15be-a07f-4a65-892d-f5db55632400/index.html  

In addition to posting to the calendar directly by logging into Outlook.com, we formerly were able to use the Outlook Connector to update the calendar from Outlook 2010 from the desktop PCs in our office...we are also seeing trouble with this.

When I use IE 9 or Safari or Chrome to try to view the calendar, I get a error message.  For Safari, it can't find the server, for Chrome: The server at cid-bdc4478030dc71de.calendar.live.com can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the network service that translates a website's name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Google Chrome from accessing the network.

I have seen other posts related to this on your forum...many are similar, but I have not seen a resolution to any.  I have tried resetting the links and many of the other suggested remedies to no avail. Nothing in our local network has changed around the time of the beginning of the problem.   Please advise.  

Thanks!

why am I no longer receiving email notifications when someone updates my shared calendar?

I created a little work group using the shared calendar in outlook.com. Whenerver someone schedule an event, everyone normally receives an email notification. Since September 6 2013,.  The notifications are no longer generated whenever changes are made .. I'm wondering if microsoft has changed something...  or having trouble.....   

Notification (reminder) setting not getting set in shared calendars

10. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

I successfully shared a calendar between my wife's outlook.com account and mine.

 

However, I discovered that there is a really annoying problem:

 

When she creates an event under the shared calendar, the notification setting is always empty on MY END. That is, at the time of the even (10 minutes before to be exact) she gets the notification of the event and I don't. Is the same if I am the one creating the event. She does not get notification but I am. This is really stupid as you all people sharing a calendar should be notified when the event is due without having to manually add reminder to each event

 

We both have reminder setting set to "calendars on your PC and phone" set to 10 minutes. The person creating the event, receives the notification 10 minutes  as it should. The other person does not..

 

Is like everything is passed between the calendars except for the notification information.  I can create an event in my PC. Open her PC and see that the notification field in her calendar is EMPTY.

 

THis is the very and single reason why I am still using google for my calendar.

deleted calendar event notification

A team member of our organization deleted an event on a shared calendar.  All users within the organization are now receiving auto-email notifications the event has been deleted every few minutes, 24-7.  This has been ongoing for days.  The calendar is not owned by this user and he has since been removed from the shared calendar in an effort to resolve the issue, but the emails to every team member on the shared calendar keep coming. Help!
