Mavericks sync Outlook 2011

Hi


Since mountain lion i was able to sync office 2011 (Outlook) with iCal and Address Book from OS X.


But now, with Mavericks, i config exactly the same, but don´t work, nothing happens.


Can someone advise?

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

No, it's Microsofts responsibility, they wrote that piece of crap called Outlook for Mac


Use Outlook for Windows instead, it is fully compatible with dozens of sync systems, but Microsoft decided that the Mac version would only support Exchange. So if you want Outlook for Mac, use Exchange.


Or just get rid of the Microsoft junk and the problem goes away.

OK, so I just upgraded to Maverick, and then found out my sync capabilites are gone. I use Outlook 2011 for business reasons, so now how can I synch my calendar and contacts? I have an android phone, so I was using Synchmate so outlook synced with ical and contacts on the mac and then that allowed a somewhat smooth sync with the android phone, but now with no way to sync with ical or contacts and everything in the cloud, I am lost. How can I sync from outlook contact and calendar to the cloud, and then how can I sync that with my phone?

What I am trying to sync is my calendar and contacts in office 2011 with ical and contact on my mac and then onto icloud. Since "upgrading" to maverick, I cannot sync anything with outlook.


basically before I "upgrade", i would synch between outlook calendar and contact and ical and contacts on the mac, this would then allow me to sync with my android phone. Now outlook won't sync with anything and ical and contacts only sync with icloud.

Well.... welcome to "our problem".


Since mavericks, Apple don´t allow to outlook syncs with cloud...


There is a "solution" to sync outlook with exchange, then sync with mac... really dont understand.


I am just wating that Apple open the eyes and resolve this problem. I already sign a petition, but until now, nothing happens! I just dont sync 😟

Speaking for myself, I don't want my personal contacts and calendar living in the cloud. I want to keep this information confidential and private. There certainly are things that I share on the cloud, by my contacts and calendar won't ever be shared.


Someday, accounts on the cloud might get hacked, It certainly has happened before.


Everything used to work before Mavericks came along, and there was no prior notice that Apple was disabling sync services, as far as I'm aware.


I hold Apple responsible to fix this.
