I am looking to switch to outlook for MAC but am concerned whether it syncs with google calendar?
I have my email account synced, but I hate having to put in my calendar events twice- Can someone help???
The web-based calendar system for Windows Live is currently Hotmail Calendar.

Does anyone happen to know about current development of the Metro/Wave 5 UI update for it?

The current UI is somewhat dysfunctional and unappealing; I will resort to using Google Calendar until the new release.
Hallo,

I have Outlook 2011 for Mac on Mac OS X 10.8. Calendar and Mac Mail simply work fine with google mail and calendar.
I'm using Outlook also for our company Exchange host and I additionally want to synchronize my private google calendar into my Outlook 2011.
The sync service does not recognize the google entry.

Is there any chance to fix that?

I have a new macbook pro with the latest operating system (10.8.2), and I can't get outlook (2011) to sync with ical.  I have ical syncing with Google calendar, but nothing on my ical will sync with outlook.  My outlook calendar is completely empty.  I have tried all the suggestions on the web, to no avail.  I have also selected all the sync options in outlook.  Help!

Hi,

I'm still planning a move from a desktop PC to an iMac.

I've gathered that the Calendar in Outlook 2011 won't sync with Canedar on the iMac so (I think I'm right here...) so what about Oulook 2010 running in Win7 and Parallels?

 

So,  if I use Parallels, Win 7 and Office 2010 on the iMac I assume I can sync the Outlook Calendar with my Google calendar (using google calendar synch running in Win 7) and the Calendar on iMac with Google Calendar (And either my iPad/iPhone with Google Calendar or with Calendar on iMac - don't know about that bit yet ... so first part of my question is has anyone any advice here as to the best way to achieve this sync between all devices and Outlook 2010 Calendar?)

I can acess Gmail with my iPhone/iPad to keep up with mail when out and about as well.

So the second part of my question my question is, How do I synch the contacts in Outlook 2010 with my iPhone , iPad and iMac Contacts?

Currently on the PC, iTunes syncs with contacts. Will iTunes on an iMac with OSX sync with Outlook contacts on same iMac running Parallels/Win7/Office 2010?

As always, many thanks for the help and support you guys give.

Regards

Mike

I can sync Outlook for mac with the ical calendar and the ical with google calendar, but I cannot get the google calendar appts in outlook.

The idea is to sync all to google so that is the main calendar that shows up in outlook etc. On my PC this works fine.

Please help me.... 
I have a mac computer and google calendar.  I am trying to get the google calendar into my outlook for mac. Is this possible?

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

Hello.


I use Google Calendar, syncing with iCal for both work and personal appointments. How do I configure Outlook 2011 to stop syncing calendar entries between my Mac and Microsoft Exchange servers? In other words, I only want to send and receive emails but not manage my appointments using Outlook 2011.


I also use Outlook 2010 on my PC and would like to do the same.
