Exchange calendar not syncing in macOS Monterey 12.3

Every since upgrading to macOS Monterey 12.3, I'm having trouble with syncing my Exchange calendar in the native Calendar app. Note: by Exchange calendar, I mean the Office 365 calendar, a service my university subscribes to.

I am able to add the calendar to the native application and events do show up. But it seems that soon after that, it stops syncing and new events will not show even with a forced refresh.

Any ideas what to do? Is this is bug?

If your iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders won't sync

Had this issue syncing both my Office calendar and iOS calendars. iCloud was working, and sync'd properly to my iOS device, but no events were syncing to/from my mac. This tip worked immediately and events started syncing again for both Office and iCloud. thanks!

Hi,

I am having the same issues.

Just noticed that NotStephenJob had the same idea: simply put jcrossett (thank you) commands in a cron job to run hourly 😊

So a permanent fix would be very helpful.

Thank you

Let's hope that Apple can fix this in a slightly more elegant way in the next update. This is becoming a real nuisance - I'd be hard pressed to move to Outlook for calendaring but I'm getting closer 😪

Same issue for me. Extremely frustrating, and a bit embarrassing - remember there was an issue with exchange calendars when MacOS 12.0 came out too!

The calendaragent fix doesn't work for me either :(

Adding a comment just to track this thread. If someone sees this gets fixed in an MacOS update, please add a reply. Its odd that I get Calendar invites show up as coming in, but after accepting they don't become visible on the calendar without a restart, or doing the Terminal commands listed here. Thanks for that workaround!

Ahh good to know! My office computer is still on 12.3 and that is where I'm seeing the problem, I'll update it tomorrow and of course it takes a day or two to see the problem usually after a restart but hoping that will indeed fix after I update. Its been annoying!

First I thought my company had messed up our outlook 365, but now I know it's not only us.

What an annoying regression, it worked so nicely with previous macos versions and it looks like iOS is not affected as well. Please, Apple, do something about it.

Came BACK to this thread cause yes, version 12.5.1 BROKE the Exchange Calendar syncing. This time around I've made a script so I can just hit a button and have the terminal commands run. Cause you know, this will get fixed...and then probably broken AGAIN.

Took me awhile to find this thread. Feel like pulling up your history on here should be more complete and not just recent stuff but thats another topic.

The fix of stopping / starting the agent is not at all working for me on ONE of my Mac's .. my X86 Mac is actually syncing ok - -as are my iOS devices (as noted) -- but my poor M1 MacBook Air -- even with the launchctl magic -- well -- still is not working - -I have a 5 minute "poll" cycle .. it's very frustrating..

I had one though -- could it be because I have Outlook open AND the Apple Calendar? Hmmm...

I don't use the Outlook app, I have my Exchange email account set up in Mac Mail app which I prefer.

As an odd aside to the Outlook app, my wife had an iMac from her office that use to get this screen blink/glitch that when it started would make the computer unusable, it looked similar to a graphic card going bad. In the end, it was just having the Outlook app running. Not sure WHAT was going on but after toubleshooting for here what it was, she started using outlook in a web browser and problem went away.

NotStephenJobs, and jcrossett, your solution does work. Partially, for me anyways. Here's my question for you:

Apparently using those commands does update things in the background. However, in Mac OS Calendar, I either still need to 1- Choose the menu "View", then 2- Click on "Refresh Calendars", or quit and re-open the app. Any ideas on how to tackle THAT side of the equation? BTW, what I am actually trying to accomplish here is to get a third party app to properly refresh automatically. I use "Timepage" by Moleskine Studio, and to have it display the correct new information I'm having to quit it and re-launch it.

Any thoughts? (This is quite frustrating.)

Thanks for any insights. Raphael.

Yeah, calaccessd is my current best bet as well. Going to try with that unless someone else has a better suggestion. Will report back on my results. What's really annoying is that iOS calendar just works perfectly with Exchange. there is some bug in the macOS version.
