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!

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.

    Hi catherinemughal,

    I understand that you would like to use iCal on your Outlook.com calendar. Don't worry, we'd be happy to help you with this.

    In order to use iCal with your Outlook.com account, you can subscribe to your calendar by following these steps provided below:

    1. Go to http://calendar.live.com.
    2. Click Subscribe on the top menu bar above your calendar.
    3. You can choose between importing or subscribing. With importing, you can upload your calendar on Outlook.com. If you'd like to subscribe, you can enter the URL/address of the calendar you would like to subscribe in.
    4. Click Subscribe to Calendar.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks!

    Doesn't help at all, because you failed to read the FIRST SENTENCE CORRECTLY.   We're doomed if the forum is moderated by lack of attention.

    They want to use the OUTLOOK.COM account within the iCal application on a MacBook (OS X, Apple, Macintosh).   Please send the settings for a CALDAV enabled calendar application, such as iCAL.   We DO NOT need subscription instructions for Live.Com...

    FAIL

    Wow... just wow.   For a second time in the same thread, someone has FAILED to READ the initial question.   How is Apple supposed to know Microsoft's settings???   Let's try and make this a simple to understand as possible --- and NO the above is NOT an acceptable answer:

    1 - The original poster has a Mac (OS X) - and wants to use their Outlook calendar within the iCal Application that comes standard with every OS X installation

    2 - We both have attempted to add Outlook (the service) as an account in iCal (the application)

    --- We are not trying to add a calendar @ Outlook.com

    3 - Step 2 failed, because:

    a)  We don't have the correct settings -- please advise what settings should be used for a standard CalDav client

    b)  Outlook.com does not allow CalDav access

    If you don't know what a CalDav client is, please Google it --- sorry -- Bing It

    Simplified question:   Does Outlook.com support CalDav access?
