Shared Office 365 calendars not showing up in iCal

This is how I figured out how to get this to work. My company uses Outlook 365 Exchange. My co-worked shared his calendar with me. It wasn't showing up in Mac Calendar, or iCal, whatever you want to call it, in Yosemite. It shows up fine when I log into the web client for Outlook 365, so I know its there.

To solve it, in calendar if you go to preferences, accounts, delegation, then click add, type the person's exchange e-mail address, it will load and populate their calendar as a new calendar in the Mac calendar app.

That being said, the Mac calendar app is really not up to par for business. I'd encourage Apple to STRONGLY consider Enterprise users next time around, otherwise we'll all just download Outlook 2016 and use that instead.

Checkout the iOS app exchBuddy, it enables you to manage your 365 calendars from your native iOS calendar.

Hi Chris,

I have downloaded your app from App Store but can't enter my details on the Connectivity Data screen. The fields don't allow any text to be entered. Tapping in the field doesn't do anything - no keyboard, no cursor.

This didn't used to be a problem, but it has surfaced recently. I have no idea what has changed. I can see other people's calendars fine through the browser connecting to Office 365, using a PC, and using Outlook for Mac. But no longer with Mac Calendar.

I am running MacOS Sierra (10.12.1) and Calendar 9.0 and using Business Office 365's hosted Exchange Server. All Office 365 services are currently up, according Microsoft.

But when I try to add a delegate (Calendar > Preferences > Accounts > Exchange > Delegation > + ), entering a person's name does not trigger a search on the server. It used to find people as I typed and I could pick them off the list. But not any more. If I enter the person's name and then just hit the enter key (i.e. force a search), I get an error message: You can't access the account of "xxxx" because "xxxx" wasn't found on the server.

Clicking the "Edit" button to add someone to the list of people who can access my account produces the same problem.

I have tried deleting the whole Exchange account from my mac and then re-adding it. Still no joy.

Microsoft just say Mac Calendar isn't supported so i should use Outlook... Apple say it's Microsoft's fault.

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is a couple of years old, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one. Post in the Sierra community.
