Prev: Cannot verify or add the calendar to Outlook
Next: How can I use my calendar and other features wo using Outlook emai
From: Mark Arellano Mark on 28 Dec 2009 14:40 Hello Guys, This is Mark, I appreciate all the info on this issue. I've used the google sync option for viewing/editing purposes due to lack of email accts from our proider. It helped but my question is can I download it to my outlook so I can view calendar or send it to other staff members so they can view or it. Or do I have to login my google acct and view staff members calendars? Also, when will the publishing part be fixed, time frame anyone?

From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 28 Dec 2009 22:33 Try this workaround - its supposed to work (but isn't working for me). Go to office.com and sign in with the same Live ID you use to publish your calendar and select "Save my e-mail address and password", Outlook should work just fine after restarting to publish or update a subscribed calendar again, until you sign out of Office Online and/or LiveID. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM Poll: What version of Outlook do you use? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=27072 "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" <outlookmvp(a)msn.com> wrote in message news:5BBB91B7-FB52-452B-A92D-A6553791B7A4(a)microsoft.com... > No time frame on a fix for publishing. > > gmail supports ical - you go into calendar details and get the ical url to > give out to others. > > -- > Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] > Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ > Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ > > Outlook Tips by email: > mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net > > EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: > mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM > > Poll: What version of Outlook do you use? > http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=27072 > > > "Mark Arellano" <Mark Arellano(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:4D483BA1-6CB5-4E16-9554-506F8BB1BFCC(a)microsoft.com... >> Hello Guys, >> This is Mark, I appreciate all the info on this issue.

This workaround didn't work for me, but I got something else to work by trial and error. But please read this to the end, because while my solution worked, I did also accidentally delete my future calendar items. The windows live id I was using for publishing my calendars was not affiliated with an @hotmail.com/@live.com email account. I think that's going to be a requirement in the future because they want you pushed to their online email access services. So I created a new windows live account with a @live.com handle. I then went to account settings in Outlook for published calendars and clicked "change account". Followed the process to get rid of the old and set up the new. Republished my calendars. This seems to have worked. However, I did manage to accidentally delete all of my future calendar items. I'm not sure if that was due to the way I did this, or something else I tried in the last few weeks of frustrations. |
