how to sync my calendar with my iPhone and iPad

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

Good Afternoon,   I could use a little help.

In the past I have used Outlook on a PC along with iCloud to sync my calendars and contacts.   I recently switched to a Mac.  I am trying to recreate the same syncing capabilities.  I signed up for Office 365 for Home $9.99 a month which included the download of the Office 2011 for Mac.  

I understand that Office 2011 for Mac does not have the capability to sync with iCloud.  I don't really care that I can't sync through iCloud.  i understand that Apple and Microsoft are fighting over who get the be the big boy and hope that they will work out their issues soon.  

For now I would like to find a way that will allow me to sync my calendar and contacts through Office for Mac 2011.    Right now I am running Office 2010 with the iCloud download on Parallels and using the other Office for Mac products (word, excel, etc)

My question is does the Office 365 for Home subscription include the ability to sync the calendar and contacts and if not how would I go about it?  I see  reference to a Microsoft Exchange Server but can't tell if that is part of the subscription or something different.

thank you 

Duplicate Events in outlook client, office 365 web mail on macbook

28. April 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,
I work at a school where we are all running macbook pro's with office 2011 for mac installed on our machines. We have been setup with our own office 365 organizational account where alot of us decide to use the outlook client by office 2011. I have a users computer that is showing multiple events in her calendar, it duplicates events, some events show 10 to 15 times on her calendar. Events such as birthdays, meetings and various appointments. Other users have shared they're calendar with my problem computer, giving me access to they're appointments and events and such, so I don't know if that can help with a solution, but I am seeing these duplicates happen in office 365 calendar, outlook client, iCalendar, and the users iphone. The duplicate events and such show up for months and months, so before I start deleting one by one and then just refreshing the app to have them all come back again, has anyone found a solution.

Unable to Sync Outlook 2011 (Mac) with Outlook Online in an Office 365 (Personal) Acct

26. April 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , ,

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?

Unable to search mail in office 365 on iMac

Since yesterday, I have been unable to click on the search box in office 365 mail. This means I cannot search through my mail with my own filters to look for specific messages. Has anyone had this problem - can you suggest a way to resolve this irritating glitch?  

Outlook Mac (Office 365) will not open

Hi Outlook just flashes with the logo in the middle of the screen and disappears. Using Outlook Mac 2011 under Office Home 365 license.  Word, Excell and Powerpoint seem to work fine. 

Email Addresses Cluttering Up Exchange Contacts List

10. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,

I am using Outlook for Mac 2011 with an Exchange Online account hosted through Office 365. Every time I send an email to anyone through Outlook for Mac 2011, their email address is automatically added to my Exchange Contacts list, cluttering up my Exchange Contacts list with a bunch of random email addresses I don't want in there.

Is there anyway to turn this feature off? 

This is also happening for emails I send through OWA in a web browser or the OWA apps for iPhone and iPad.

I'm having issues joining the Office 365 Community, but working to get my account going there so I can post over there as well.

Thanks!

Nathan

Outlook cannot find server and passwords are not saved

05. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,

Hi,

We've been repeatedly trying to connect 3 email accounts (Kerio, Office 365 and Gmail) to Outlook 2011 installed from Office 365. We're facing 2 problems

1. Outlook can't seem to authenticate email accounts. When we try to remove the account and put it back in, it works. After a few hours, the issue below appears. This is true not only for Gmail but also for Office 365 and Kerio.

2. passwords are not saved perpetually. After a day or two, Outlook prompts us to type in the passwords again for all 3 accounts.

We've tried this approach for the "outlook cannot find server" issue without any luck: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2409268/en-us; and we've tried this approach for the password issue: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/password-wil-not-be-remember-in-outlook/470b1521-eaf5-411c-b070-276de2629cc5 but it was not resolved.

Additionally, we've tried to remove all the accounts and put them back in, reinstall Office 2011 several times over, and change the proxy settings and open all required ports in the network.

Kindly requesting assistance on these 2 issues.


Office 365 is one way only – don’t do it

You can not - I repeat can not export email to any other mail program - not to a TBA delimited, not to a CSV or any other than the original OLM file. Also, you can not move these olm files to another account. This is bad, bad, bad! 

OFFICE 365 OUTLOOK 2011 FOR MAC- READ RECEIPTS

01. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,
I cannot find the option for read receipts on Outlook 2011 for Mac (Office 365). This one reason I wanted this product. I have called Microsoft and they said it is not offered. 
1. Is this correct?
2. Why
3. Is there an add on to Outlook (either from Microsoft or 3rd party)  that will tell me if my mail has been delivered and read?

If this is not a feature on Office 2011 365 for MAC..... Microsoft please get this feature added !!
