We use Exchange 2007 in our office. My mail, notes, and tasks all work fine in my Outlook 2011 for MAC. The calendar is blank. I have removed and added the account twice. It's been this way for more than a week. My calendar is fine when I go through outlook web access. It is also working on my iphone. Others in the office using the same Lion version have no problems. I added my account to another MAC with 10.6.2 and everything, including calendar, works fine.

running Mavericks w/ Thunderbird for email and Calendar for appointments. (I tried Apple Mail and it was nothing but problems). I work in a Windows/Outlook environment. My coworkers schedule a lot of meetings using Outlook Calendar...and I no longer can receive these since I switched to Mac. (I get the email, but the appointment does not show up.) Â
Is there any way to create compatability? Â
I suppose I could try Outlook for Mac, but the user community seems to indicate that this program has a lot of issues. Â

I know their have been threads in the past that delt with syncing outook with OS X but I thought I would create a thread concerning iCal. Like many of you, I have to use a PC at work. I can access outlook on said PC either through webmail or Remote Desktop Connection but what I would really like is an automated way to sync my oulook calendar with iCal. I thought AddressX would work but it requires ananymous connectons to the exchange server which is apparently a no no from a security perspective. How have you sync'd outlook calendar with iCal?

I am able to receive and accept their invitations but they are not able to accept mine. The Entourage invitations come through with jibberish and no accept or reject option.

When I double click on it, i do not see it in my calendar - neither to accept or refuse.
(I once answered a question, sth like - isdbox need access to .. - not 100%sure about the correct question, i answered "no", but i think it should have been "yes")
Since then i can not see invitations anymore coming from an .ics file.

I first checked out iCloud page: [URL]. Seems you can use Outlook on Windows with iCloud calendar. Then I head over to MS support site to find this: [URL] : "Outlook for Mac 2011 does not support Apple iCloud calendar (CalDAV) and contact (CardDAV) synchronization." What can I do to be able to use calendars in Outlook on a Mac? Is there a way to set up Outlook for Mac the same way as Outlook for Windows (i.e. without CalDAV)? What is that sorcery Windows version is using to get the calendar from the iCloud?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Mac that I put a partition on a few months ago, I now want to reformat. Yet when I go to my Recovery HD on Lion then to Disk Utility and try to format my HDD it gives me an error saying it couldn't unmount disk, the two partitions on the HDD unmount but the HDD does not. So I goggled it and read a few solutions however the most common one creating a bootable drive with the Recovery HD on it dosen't work either.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a user who just switched from Mac Mail to Outlook 2011. Getting a strange issue when sending to users on Outlook 2010 PC.
When sending a message, users on Outlook 2011 and people viewing the message via web mail can see the message fine. It reports that it's a digitally signed message (just one sentence), and the certificates look fine. Via the web, the message appears fine. It says:
"This message has a digital signature. The digital signature could not be validated because the S/MIME control is not available." However, it comes up fine.
However, users on Outlook for PC (my version is 2010), cannot read it. I first get a preview pane error "This item cannot be displayed in the Reading Pane. Open the item to read its contents." And when I double-click on the message, I get a pop up window "Your Digital ID name cannot be found by the underlying security system."
Anyone can provide clues why other Outlook MAC users and via the web the message can be read, but just not PC Outlook users for now?
I will be switching from Outlook 2007 to Office for Mac Outlook 2011 for my business email/calendar/contacts. I am pleased with Outlook 2007, but despise my PC otherwise. I will be using Microsoft Exchange as my email server. My concerns: Calendar Syncing, Accessing Archived PST files, Transitioning current mail folders.
I have a couple questions regarding this switch:
- Will Office for Mac Outlook 2011 accommodate by business needs and offer a comparable application as Office 2007 (PC version)?
- What roadblocks or issues should I be aware of when making this switch?
I've activated icloud and its caused problems with my calenders. if i stop it will i loose all my calender events. Its duplicated and removed some for my mobile devices.

I've had my first generation MBP since April of 2006. And my history of repairs on this thing is insane. I will list them later.
Just last week, I brought it in for intermittent brightness/dimming and it came back worse than before with the machine turning off by itself after 6 seconds of booting.
So it's back in repair. The genius says, if the same thing keeps happening, they'll have to give me a new mbp.
Which mbp do you think they'll give me (if they can't fix it)? The same one I have, the previous c2d or the latest one?
Here's a list of the problems I've had since I had my MBP:
Problem 1: Logic board, inverter, battery (due to recall) replaced
Problem 2: Top keyboard assembly replaced
Problem 3: Release latch assembly replaced
Problem 4: Logic board, fan assembly and something else replaced
Problem 5: Keyboard assembly replaced due to dancing backlight
Problem 6: Battery replaced having only 100ish battery cycles
(Current) Problem 7: Display inverter board, logic board, inverter/camera cable replaced
Seriously, I do IT consulting and w/o my main machine, it has simply been a pain in the @ss with a secondary one.
I was wondering if it is possible to have the non-Unibody MBP top case sit flush with the bottom after replacing the HDD. On a couple previous generation MBPs, I, nor my local Apple Authorized Repair Center were able to replace the hard drive without leaving a noticeable gap between the top case and the bottom. I would really like to put a SSD in my computer, but would not like my machine to have that terrible looking gap. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to prevent this gap, if it all possible?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a Late 2008 15 MBP (Purchased March 2009). The display does not always remain closed. It occasionally pops up itself. I have sent it to Apple store twice.
The first time I brought it to the store, the genius bar observed the problem and said it's caused by weak magnets. So my laptop was sent to repair center.
Five days later, I picked up the laptop from the store and found they did not fix the problem and two screws at the bottom of the machine were missing.
The paperwork says they replaced display assembly due to "Sleep Function Not Working". WTF
I then sent the laptop to the same store for repair. This time the genius bar made a note on my laptop so that the staff at repair center could handle the issue carefully.
Yesterday, got my laptop back from FedEX. The problem was still there!! The paperwork says they replaced display assembly again. But this time the they found my problem.
I am 70 miles away from the store and it is irritated to drive back and forth.
I called Apple Care for a resolution. They apologized and said the only thing they could offer is to send me a prepaid shipping box and have the laptop repaired again.!!!
Guys, should I send my laptop in for the third time?? Or is apple supposed to offer a replacement? Please, don't say I am greedy... I spent all my college savings for this laptop and this makes me frustrated.
Thanks for all the commnets and suggestions. you guys rock!!
OK, after the second repair, i talked to their senior advisor. He said he is confident that the repair center will fix it this time. When we asked him for a replacement, he said "give us another try. If this repair does not solve the problem, we can discuss other options."
Today, I got my machine back from FedEX and they replaced the display assembly again... I already told their advisor my speculation which is magnets. It has nothing to do with display frame since they have replaced it three times and none of them solves the problem.
I already called the advisor and left a message for him... Hopefully he will call me back soon.
This is not a major issue. Why it is so difficult for Apple to fix it?
