Missing Google calendar entries in Outlook

23. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,

Hello

I have several Google accounts and want to use Outlook in Office 2011 to manage them on my mac.

I have purchased an Office 365 annual license and installed Office 2011.

I have set up my accounts and all the email is coming through.

However, I could not sync contacts - but I have resolved that by a tiresome export and import.

The remaining issue is my Outlook calendar. Only the meetings that have invites still in my inbox are showing. None of the (plenty of) other existsing calendar entries in my Google calendar are showing. Most of the existing entries are repeating occurances (if that makes any difference) also a number are appointments just for me rather than meetings with other attendees.

Also I notice that if I create a calendar event in Outlook it only shows there an does not appear in my Google calendar. I cant see which (if any) of the Google email accounts the Outlook calendar is associated with.

Any thoughts on how to resolve this? Quite possibly user error, though I think I followed the set up instructions correctly. 

Thnaks in advance,

Richard

Public calendar entries disappeared

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

My small office uses a public calendar which is shared between six people. The calendar entries go back to 2009.  We noticed just now that all of our calendar entries from March 2014 back have disappeared, as well as the color-coding that each of us individually had.  No one is fessing up to having done anything.

How can we get our calendar entries back? We need them for various reasons.

Office Mac 2011 Calendar entry deleted by accident – how to recover?

25. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,

I find that I frequently accidentally hit the red close button on calendar entries instead of the save and close button.  This is becoming very irritating and, as I use this for business, it's particularly frustrating.  How can I/can I, find and restore accidentally deleted calendar entries?

Thanks

Outlook 2013 and Live and Windows Phone compatibility?

03. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,

How do I sync the full Outlook calendar on my PC with the Live calendar as the calendar on my desktop is the Master?


How do calendar entries in the phone or Outlook on the PC get synced thereafter?


What happens to any conflict appointments?

Some calendar entries in Outlook 2013 not syncing to Outlook.com Calendar

31. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , ,

Some calendar appointments (those received from a POP email address different from my live.com account) register correctly in Outlook 2013 (on Windows 8.1 Pro) but do not sync to my Outlook.com Calendar. Calendar entries made manually on Outlook 2013 calendar sync correctly, as do any accepted meeting requests received directly to my live.com email account (although meeting requests forwarded to my live.com address from my other account do not sync when Accepted but do register correctly on my local Outlook 2013 calendar).


My wife has the same issue with the same configuration on a different machine so the issue is not account related, nor is it related to a mailbox corruption.


Searching online shows others reporting the same issue (for some months now) but I have not found a solution. Please can you point me to a solution to this serious problem.

outlook.com deleting past calendar entries

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

Past entries mysteriously disappear on my outlook.com calendar (converted from Hotmail account). I pay an extra monthly fee to .msn so this is especially irritating. The time is arbitrary; sometimes I can see one week back, sometimes two. The settings and options available on the online/Hotmail outlook calendar are extremely limited and don't seem to address this.

 

I am syncing to I-phone 4 and have sync all events checked. The entries thankfully still appear on my I-phone, but not my computer/online calendar.

 

Help! and Thanks.

Missing birthday entries

28. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
All my birthdays were entered into my calendar.  All of a sudden, all of the birthdays are gone off my iPhone but there is a new color coded category for birthdays.  It is incomplete and, at times, wrong.  How do I get my calendar entries back without having to retype them all?  I checked calendar.live and they were not there either.  I did not make any changes to this account.  To be honest, I was not even aware there was a category for birthdays and had been saving everything to the calendar.  Thanks.

Trouble with copying calendar entries in Outlook 2011

18. December 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , ,
In short - my trouble is:  I can't do it.

I've tried Command-C, etc (keystroke for cut and paste) - no go.  I've tried to hold down the Command key while dragging the entry to a new time - this almost works as it does indicate a little green "+" sign as if it recognizes it's supposed to be copying - but when I release the mouse key the entry just gets sucked back over to it's original time.  I realize if I release the command key too early it thinks it's just moving and not copying.

I've tried everything - what am I missing???

Many thanks - 
Brad

Duplicate iCal Entries after Outlook sync

19. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , ,
Hi there,

I am having a lot of trouble with iCal.

I have Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 and ipad2. 

I have a lot of calendar entries in Outlook which I like to see them in iPad. After turning on the sync services, I found that there are duplicate entries in iCal.   The duplicate entries only exist for those "all-day event" but no others.

As I have used Calendar since 1998 so there are probably hundred of those duplicates over the time. I just bite the bullet by deleting duplicate entries in the hard way. week by week and entry by entry. Unfortunately, iCal is taking like 30 seconds to delete two or three entries. So this is not working for me as I do not like to spend days in deleting all those duplicate entries.

I delete all iCal entries, clear the plist file, cache, etc and re-sync again. And duplicate entries come again.  

Are there ways to avoid duplicate entries after Outlook sync?

Please help.

Many thanks,
Samuel




Duplicating Calendar Entries

25. September 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , ,
We're having an issue where some people are having duplicate calendar entries appear.  We have a mix of client types (mainly Outlook 2010 for Windows, Mac Mail, and Mac Outlook 2011) on both desktops and laptops, and mobile clients (mainly iPhones, but some blackberries, and some Android).  Only people running Mac Outlook 2011 are seeing this problem.  These people also typically have complex delegate relationships (multiple delegates, additional people with read only access), and a larger number of items in their calendars (most with 2000+ items, some with 5000+ items).  It is affecting many different people, but only one group of 5 consistently.  We are running on Exchange 2010 SP2 RU6.
It may coincide with the user's local cache getting corrupted.  Typically emptying the calendar folder's cache stops the duplication.  However duplicates currently existing continue to be seen.  Occasionally (20% of the time) these duplicates are seen only on Mac Outlook.  Interestingly though - those duplicates are seen on the user's Mac and the delegate's Mac but NOT OWA.  The rest of the time the duplicates are seen on the server and the clients.

We have made sure SyncServices are disabled for all effected users.  iCloud is also disabled.  We've also verified the iTunes is not syncing anything and that phones are only syncing through ActiveSync.  Using Mac Mail Calendar Address Book is not completely viable as contacts are also shared.  Use web only access has been rejected by the users.


Has anybody experienced a similar issue?  Anyone have any fixes?

Thanks.
