Hi, I have this situation at work: there is a shared Outlook calendar for the whole office and I am the only one with a Mac using iCal. Do you know if there is a way to see the shared outlook calendar with my iCal? When you open your Calendar in Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac, the Open Shared Calendar button on the ribbon is unavailable. Additionally, when you point to Open on the File menu, the Calendar option is unavailable. ![]() Wondering if anyone has found a client based solution to the following issue: Trying to share a calendar from Outlook 2016 PC client among our 30-some users with our handful of Mac users running Outlook 2016 Mac client. When the PC user sends a calendar share request asking to accept the calendar the e-mail contains a xml file and a link to the online help - not the expected allow/deny and open in calendar buttons. All users are in the same organisation using W7 and/or W10 on the PC end. With a work-around using the web client but not a permanent solution, one client fits all. Anyone else seen this or can offer advice? Not sure if we are talking about the same thing. So for instance, I'm trying to share a Employee Time off calendar to all other users on the Office 365 domain. Every user has the outlook client either PC or Mac. When Mac users receive this e-mail from me looking to share this calendar with them, they receive an XML file. Now folks have said, just use the web client to accept the calendar and it will then work on the Mac after the fact, that's false. Doesn't work. I WISH all I was worried about was responding to meetings.:) Edited Dec 21, 2016 at 17:54 UTC. Reader Simon White has found himself sucked into the black hole that can be Outlook 2011. He writes: I recently switched from PC to Mac but have issues getting mail, calendars, and contacts transferred. Video converter for mac cnet. Initially I thought that continuing to use Outlook would be the way to go, so I installed Outlook 2011 for the Mac. But it doesn’t sync with my iPhone. So I decided to try using Mail/Address Book/iCal only to find that I cannot export my data from Outlook in any format other than.olm, which Apple programs cannot read. Is there a way to get my events out of Outlook’s calendar and into iCal? It’s at times like these that I wish my response was accompanied by an animated GIF of me banging my head against the desk. Because that’s exactly the kind of reaction I have to Outlook’s terrible syncing support. But let’s both take a couple of deep breaths and proceed. Unlike Entourage, Outlook doesn’t offer an option for syncing calendar events (you can sync contacts, however). This is a feature that’s been promised for a future Outlook update but Microsoft hasn’t said when we might expect that update. And, as you’ve discovered, iCal looks at.olm archives and shrugs its virtual shoulders. But there is a way—tedious and tiresome, granted, but still, a way. That way is to select an event within Outlook’s calendar and drag it to the iCal icon in the Dock (or, if you like, drag it to the Desktop and then drag it into iCal). This dragging business converts the event into a.ics file, which is compatible with iCal. Regrettably, you can do this with only one event at a time. You do not have the option to select all events in a monthly calendar or even Shift- or Command-click multiple events. It’s one at a time or nothing at all. [Insert sound of further head banging here.] Ideally, you haven’t been at this too long and you can return to your PC and export your calendars from there because, yes, it’s easier to do this from Outlook for Windows than Outlook for the Mac. To do that, just right-click on a calendar in Outlook for Windows and from the menu that appears choose Save As. The default option is to save the calendar in the iCalendar format. Choose this option and click Save. Repeat for other calendars you want to transfer.
