Shared outlook calendars not visible on macbook, but appear in iphone

Several calendars have been shared with me through my Microsoft Outlook/Exchange account. My Exchange account is connected to both my Macbook and my iPhone. I can view my personal Outlook calendar on both devices, but calendars that have been shared with me only appear on my iPhone and are missing from my Macbook.

I've seen advice suggesting that you go to accounts and add users who shared calendars with you to the delegation tab. I tried that and it says I have no access under calendars. I never had to do this for my iPhone and everything works perfectly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - I'm missing appointments because I can't see them on my Macbook :(

I was having the exact same problem. But I got it to work. I entered the email address of the owner of the calendar in the delegation preferences. First I pasted the email address in and this didn't work - user not found. Then I started typing the address in and the user I wanted was suggested in a pop-up menu. I selected the user and they then appeared under a Delegate tab in the Calendar side bar. But none of their calendar appointments were visible. I quit Calendar and reopened it. Success! I can now view the appointments!

I'm having a similar issue that is driving me nuts. When I toggle to the "New Outlook", my calendar is completely different. My events are either missing or outdated. For example, I have a recurring meeting that was changed months ago and the old invite shows up when I toggle new outlook on but current event is accurate when its switched off. I am also missing most events when I toggle it on.

Thanks, but what you described is exactly what I said — calendars are only visible if shared such that people can view all details. There are plenty of reasons that sharing only the fact that one is busy makes sense, and plenty of cases where setting an event as private is too much. I would like to be able to share my calendar so that my colleagues can see when I am busy without them seeing the other attendees, or the zoom details, or all my meetings.

I was having the same issue. What I did was switch off the "new outlook" back to the old, and then turned the new outlook back on, and boom, they were there. The on/off switch is in the top right hand corner of the screen.

Hi, I called apple support and spoke to someone on the phone for an hour or so. They were not able to solve the problem so it looks like it must be a bug.

Interesting!! Do you think this will work for a shared mailbox calendar as well?

Hi, I have exactly the same problem. Is this an issue of the Microsoft Exchange server configuration?

Try a complete system restart. After trying relogging, etc. a few times, I restarted my macbook , which solved the issue.
