Hi,

We are thinking of getting an iMac (presumably with OS X Mountain Lion) and Office 2011 with Outlook 2011. There are many postings about synchronising Outlook Calendar with iCal on the iMac and also with iPhone/iPad. Also synching with Google Calendar. I currently run XP with Office 2007 (Outlook 2007). I can sync with Gcal and my ipad with Gcal so calendars are up to date.

This might be a naive question... is it possible to syncrinise the Outlook 2011 Calendar with iCal and (perhaps indiretly via iCal) to my Google Calendar?

I have seen postings like the ones below and am confused. If the Outlook Calendar Synching won't work then the iMac option needs a rethink. (Please, I'd just like the synching question addressed rather than and iMac versus another hardware platform as the answer to the question may deliver other considerations)

Kind regards

Mike
