How to Use Exchange 2010 With iCal

You can access your Exchange 2010 calendar through the iCal application.

The Mac OS X operating system, which runs on all Apple desktop and laptop computers, includes a scheduling/calendar program called iCal. Within iCal, you can set up different calendars based on data you have from email accounts and other calendar services. For example, you can use a Microsoft Exchange 2010 account with iCal to view your calendar and add new events to it.

Instructions

1. Launch the iCal application from the dock at the bottom of the screen or the applications folder on your hard drive.

2. Open the "iCal" menu at the top of the screen and choose "Preferences."

3. Go to the "Accounts" tab at the top of the window.

4. Click on the plus button in the lower-left corner.

5. Set the "Account type" to "Automatic" and then enter your Exchange 2010 email address and password.

6. Click on the "Create" button and then wait for iCal to connect to your Exchange server.

7. Press "Create" again once iCal has successfully connected to your Exchange 2010 account. Your Exchange calendar will now appear in the calendar list on the left side of the iCal window. Mae sure the box is checked and the dates in your Exchange calendar will be visible on the iCal calendar in any view (month, week, day)
