Hello,
I have a Macbook and want to use my Outlook.com account on iCal. I would like to use this as my primary calendar to add all events and invite attendees so that it is in the Outlook.com cloud. I cannot seem to add it using the Mac preferences. Please help.
Thank you!
Scheduling and managing events using Outlook.com calendar

Hey!
Choose Exchange and when it asks Username its your email address. Then it asks Internal Server and External Server so those are both outlook.office365.com. Worked for me.
So when will Microsoft work with Apple to resolve this Outlook.com and iCal issue. I'm an Office 365 subscriber, and have been using Microsoft cloud solutions a bit more; however, if I can't have a two way communication with my local iCal calendar and Outlook.com; it's pretty much useless.
I suppose I can always go to Outlook.com to make changes; but it shouldn't be so hard. Microsoft was able to get Outlook.com/Hotmail calendars to work with Android and iOS; why is it so difficult to just offer the service on the iCal for the Mac? ...I can sync iCal with Google and Yahoo; why not Microsoft??
I'm sorry; but I get the feeling that none of you Microsoft Moderators understand our (Mac users) concerns. We simply want to be able to sync Outlook.com calendars with iCal on the Mac just like we can sync it on iOS, or just like we can sync Google or Yahoo calendars on iCal.
This is an issue YOU (Microsoft) needs to work with Apple if you want us to continue using your cloud solutions.
We do have other options (iCloud, Google, and Yahoo); but in my case, I would like to use Outlook.com since I'm a Windows 8, Windows Phone, Android, iOS, and Mac OS X user.
...so is there any way the moderators can just escalate this to the proper development team and get the issue resolved as opposed to just giving us work arounds?
Importing calendar information is static. I suspect that the method doesn't update, since it imports a static ICS file.
Hello Milos,
I was able to import my Outlook Calendar into my Google calendar. I used your method described on 1/16/2014. Once the import was complete I saw all my appointments. This worked great.
The next thing I wanted to try was setting up NEW appointments. I set up the appointments in my Outlook Calendar. Then I went to my Google calendar. I wanted to see if the NEW appointment showed up in Google Calendar. After many refreshes and many syncs, I did NOT see the new appointment.
My question is does this method update Google calendar when you update Outlook calendar?
Thank you
Hello,
I had different use case that I solved, but maybe it can help: I have a calendar in Google. I have another calendar in Outlook.com. I want to see Outlook.com calendar in Google Calendar.
- Go to Outlook.com calendar. Click on Share, and then on Get link.
- Choose the ICS one and change the beginning of the link from webcals to http.
- Enter this address in the calendar URL in Google.
Cheers.
Hello Milos,
This worked perfectly. I also wanted to "see" my Outlook calendar in Google. I tried everything. I found your posts and tried it. PERFECT!!!! I changed webcals to http after I posted it the Google url add calendar box. This worked perfectly. Thank you so much.
