Outlook calendar on mac not showing up
I'm using a Mac (macOS Big Sur version 11.0.1) and using Microsoft Office 365 (Microsoft Outlook for Mac version 16.43). Email is working (and syncing) fine to my Yahoo and Gmail accounts. However,...
I just started to have the same issue - Outlook Office 365 on MacOS Monterey 12 beta 4
The My calendars folder for the default account is empty, two more accounts are OK
After deleting the account and adding it again, they reappear, and after some time disappear again...
No problem on other devices...
isavovI've got a solution that works for me, perhaps it helps you too:
In the Calendar Section there is a button "Open shared calendar" (Icon is 3 dots arranged in a circle). If you click on the button, a search field opens. Set the account with the calendar you need and type in the e-mail address of the account. There should appear the entry below. Click on it and click on the button "Open". That should do the trick. This worked in my environment.
- This was the Fix Or I just needed to "Quit Outlook" and re-Open....
But I went to Calendar, did Open Shared Calendar for both of my corporate mailboxes separately, hit okay for both. It looked like it did nothing, Then I quit Outlook and reopened it and then I saw my calendars and just needed to to re-check them.....I have been back and forth with Apple and Microsoft on this same issue for a week. Microsoft keeps assuming the problem is one of synch with iCloud. I keep saying that the calendar just won't activate. I don't even have the option to choose shared calendar. Everything is just blank until I revert back to the legacy version. Has anyone else had any luck getting advice from Microsoft? If yes, how did you describe the issue?
I was interested in the Beta version option, but didn't see where I could click on specific programs so that Word remains on the current version.
- I have no calendars whatsoever - the whole sidebar is blank 😞 None of my accounts showing in the calendar side, just email side. Tried adding through shared calendars, and it looks like it goes, but nothing shows up in the sidebar. Using Catalina 10.15.7, MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015). Started immediately after I did a MS update. Ugh! Using Catalina 10.15.7, MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015).
markus_4x4 I've read your solution, but what's interesting for me is that when I "open shared calendar" and check the "missing" calendar, it just sits there "checking permissions" indefinitely.
Did that happen to you too?
Cheers.
Chyp 16 I got the checking folder permissions. took too much time so I guess that would not work.
then i went and unchecked Show all mail accounts. restarted outlook and checked the option again.
this got the calendar contents back. will monitor.
TaherMD Amazing! As you did, I unchecked Preferences/General/Show all mail account folders, then closed and restarted the app. All my calendars came back *without* my having to recheck Show all... The problem was intermittent and seemingly random last week, but permanent since upgrade to Office 16.6.3. I also updated to Big Sur 11.6.8 last night, but I don't think that had any effect. (Calendars still didn't show this morning)
Chyp 16No, I didn't encounter this issue. Some questions you might want to check:
- Have you checked that the account is accessible and credentials are entered correctly? Perhaps delete the account completely (backup data of course, if it's not stored on the server like exchange etc.) and make a fresh set up...
- Is Outlook up to date?
- Is the Office365 subscription active? (yesterday Microsoft just shut down my log in and I had to reactivate all Office-programs...)
- Do you have more accounts to check, if there is a connection issue?
Perhaps this helps.
