    I had Entourage as a part of the mac office suite for years and it synced with my iphone calendar fine - no problems. Now that Entourage has been replaced with Outlook the calendars can no longer sync. It's ridiculous and makes Outlook fairly useless for mac and apple device users. The fact that it's worked in the past in Entourage and isn't possible now leads me to believe it's a design fault (either intentional or not?)in Outlook. If that's the case it needs to be addressed to make the product valuable to all users.

    this is stupid! I'm now going to spend a day migrating to apple mail as the inability to click a diary invitation and it to go to my apple calendar is a showstopper, causes diary chaos.

    We were using Office 2010, but upgraded to 2016. I have ALWAYS been a MS and Windows fan, but Apple makes it harder and harder to not switch.

    c'mon Miscrosoft and do something good and worthy for once. it is mind boggling that outlook 2016 doesn't integrate w ith ical still!!! shame...

    Get off your holier than thou butt and integrate your otherwise ****** Outlook calendar with i-cal

    Agreed. I want to use Outlook and it is infuriating that it doesn't sync. I am sure it used to

    1. for those who do use Outlook 2016 for Windows, you can use the iCloud for windows to synchronize the calendar
    2. I suggest the Outlook 2016 for windows could add an independent function "add iCloud calendar shown in calendar"

    Seriously! I just upgraded my computer and can't get my son's sports schedules (ical) to sync w/Outlook. Thanks to all of you for your comments and confirming I wasn't crazy. This definitely needs to be addressed.

    Its time that Microsoft got its act together and sorted this issue. They are charging dam good money for this program. What is the point in just having the email facility when you can't use contacts or schedule meetings etc across all devices. Unreal.

    ... it doesn´t work until today ... please make it happen !!!! i used outlook 2007 until last week and the ical / email integration from icloud worked best every day .. now i decided to make a change to outlook 2016 .. well and what happend .. my longtime used calender integration won´t work anymore ...please this is a public standard today ...
    so if this doesn´t work i won´t recommend my company to change to office 2016/365

    Honestly, without this feature I've been ripped off. Outlook is branded as an enterprise solution. With this, and other handicaps on the mac platform, it clearly is not.

  • Jeff commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Ridiculous. Full featured email application does not accept ical. Who needs this app with basic support for common protocols!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    enable outlook 2016 to sync with iCal or just directly to gmail calendars.
    thank you
