All I had to do was to configure the entry for the Office 365 mail account on the iPhone to synchronize the calendar and that was that.
There’s simply no need to get iTunes or Mac Sync Services or iCal or anything else involved. My feeble excuse is that the previous configuration of Outlook connected to Hotmail didn’t support OTA updates whereas the new configuration for my wife’s email is Outlook connected to Exchange Online/Office 365, which absolutely does support OTA updates. Part of the problem is that I ignored the simple solution, which is to use over-the-air (OTA) updates whenever possible. Therefore, when I set out to configure synchronization between Outlook 2011 for Mac and an iPhone (3GS running IOS 5), I thought that this would take just a few moments.
CONFIGURE OUTLOOK FOR MAC 2011 EXCHANGE 2010 WINDOWS
I was further lulled into a false sense of security about how well Outlook 2010 for Windows works (now) with iTunes to synchronize its data to an iPhone. In my naivety, I assumed that anything that ran on an Apple platform would play nicely together. Printing to our faithful HP C6180 works now (albeit with more intervention than I’d like and certainly more than I expected) and I have managed to make the iPhone synchronize its calendar with Outlook.
Two weeks later on things have settled down and the major obstacles to a happy user have been removed. It seems that the latest HP Envy range bears a resemblance to the MacBook but I see no equivalent there for the MacBook Air. On November 8, I described how a brand-new MacBook Air had made its appearance in the IT lineup for the Redmond household and some initial teething problems that this Windows-centric (to date) individual had experienced in setting up this beautiful piece of equipment.
