Apple’s updates always seem to break old things. In this case, there are field reports that Exchange Contact and Calendar sync from Outlook for Mac 2011 is not working with El Capitan, Mac OS X 10.11.

CompanionLink for Mac is working fine. So if you need your Contacts and Calendar updated in a jiffy, maybe it’s time to switch from Exchange sync to CompanionLink.

We have two routes to do this. One is to install CompanionLink for Mac, and synchronize to Google, and set your iPhone, iPad or Android phone to sync with Google. This is a great solution if you only need Contacts and Calendar. As you can see, Calendar colors are supported by CompanionLink’s Google Sync.

The better method is to download the DejaOffice for Outlook App onto your phone, and synchronize using DejaCloud sync. This is a direct sync from your Outlook for Mac 2011, and Outlook for Mac 2016 to DejaCloud and instantly to DejaOffice on your phone. DejaCloud sync handles Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Notes. It handles your calendar colors. It has a lot of advanced features like templates that make adding new events and tasks ultra easy, and mapping capabilities to map nearby contacts and map your calendar events. Check it out!

Sync Outlook for Mac 2011 – Contacts and Calendar – with El Capitan was last updated October 28th, 2015 by

If you're one of the users who upgraded OS X to El Capitan last week and are having issues with Outlook 2011, you're in luck: Microsoft has released a fix for the show-stopping bug affecting Outlook 2011 for Mac. The Microsoft KB article (KB 3098396) describes how the bug caused Outlook to hang whenever it attempted to sync online with email servers:

Shortly after you start Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 on Mac OS X El Capitan (version 10.11), Outlook hangs when it tries to sync with the server. The Spinning Wait cursor is displayed, and the application status is displayed as 'Not Responding.'

The issue did not affect offline users, however this would obviously leave Outlook's functionality severely crippled. Thankfully the patch appears to resolve the issue and is much better than Microsoft's advice prior to this update, suggesting users roll back to OS X Yosemite.

Despite Office for Mac 2011 receiving a patch, Office 2016 for Mac still has serious bugs itself including the apps crashing. Microsoft told MacRumors they are working on a fix:

'We know that some users of Office 2016 for Mac are experiencing issues as a result of upgrading to Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan. We are actively working with Apple towards resolution.'
