Calendar subscription does not refresh

Anonymous

In outlook.com I subscribed to my TripIt calendar feed. In outlook.com I went to Import > Subscribe, and entered the ical feed URL that I got from TripIt. The URL looks like this (redacted for privacy reasons): https://www.tripit.com/feed/ical/private/<<long id here>>/tripit.ics. The initial import worked perfectly and all the events from TripIt show as expected in my outlook.com calendar.

However, outlook.com has not tried to refresh the feed for two days now, and, consequently, changes are not shown in outlook.com. Now, other software in which I imported the exact same feed, e.g. the OS X calendar app and my Google calendar, do see the updates just fine. Only outlook.com does not refresh the feed, at least not in over 48 hours now.

    Hi Craig, 

    Welcome to Microsoft Community. I'd be glad to assist you on your concern with regards to syncing your Outlook.com calendar to Google calendar.

    Syncing your calendar with another calendar usually takes place within 24 to 48 hours and it can't be changed. If it does not sync within that time range, it is already an issue.

    On you other concern about  Outlook.com and Outlook sync, are the steps you included related to syncing your Outlook.com to Office Outlook email client.

    We're looking forward to your response.

    Thank you.

    Sorry - I realise I had run two problems together.

    Google calendar - The calendar in Outlook.com does not seem to sync with Google Calendar - which i have to use for work - on any sort of predictable basis:

    • how frequently should it be syncing
    • can this be changed.

    Having gone back to first principles on the Outlook.com adn Outlook sync:

    • went into Outlook on my laptop, and published a particualar calendar
    • went into ooutlook.com Calendar and subscribed to that published Calendar
    • checked the outlook.com Calendar - all apparently OK
    • went back to the laptop, added a new appointment to the calendar
    • pressed send/receive
    • went back into Calendar on Outlook.com - new appointments not there, no apparent way to sync, no indication of when it would sync

    Is there something I am missing?

    The problem described in this thread is a different one. Outlook.com and Outlook desktop sync just fine. Calendar and email. This thread is about subscribed calendars not syncing with Outlook.com on a "frequent enough" basis. I use a Surface, Windows phone 8, and Outlook on a Windows 8 laptop. Excel for external subscribed internet calendars, they all sync flawlessly and near-real-time. I do use a Microsoft account. If you are experiencing sync problems using a single Microsoft account on multiple Windows platforms, you may have a different issue.,

    When is this synchronisation problem going to be fixed.

    Without regular synch-ing (if there is such a word) my Windows Surface tablet is useless.

    How hard can this be!

    What I want to do is: synch Outlook on my laptop (including contacts and calendar) with Outlook on my Tablet (running Windows RT).

    Is there a simple guide to how to do this?

    I could do it with a Palm Pilot over 10 years ago!

    Thanks.
