Windows 10: Can't create or edit Family Calendar items in Outlook 2013

I've created a Family Calendar on Outlook.com, and I'm able to view and edit this calendar at outlook.com and in the Outlook for Android app on my phone.

In Outlook 2013, I can see the Family Calendar, but the New Appointment and New Meeting buttons are disabled. I cannot edit any existing appointments, and when I double click a day on the calendar to create one, this error is displayed:

You don't have permission to create an entry in this folder. Right-click the folder, and then click Properties to check your permissions for the folder. See the folder owner or your administrator to change your permission.

I right-clicked on the Family Calendar and changed the permissions for the Owner to full read and write, but that had no effect. I then added my own email user as an owner with full read and write, but that didn't work either. I tried creating a new email profile for Outlook, but still I do not have access to the Family Calendar. (I have full access to the default Calendar.)

How can I gain full access to the Family Calendar in Outlook 2013?

Adding outlook family calendar to outlook 365


Thank you. I looked at the link and I think what I need is ‘publish calendar’ which may get me the ics link I wanted. I’ll give it a go later on. It may not play ball because it is a family calendar rather than a conventional one but it sounds like it’s the best option. I don’t need the edit access in outlook 365, I just want the appointments in there and on my mac calendar so everything gets updates when I add a family entry on my iPhone. It’s tough to get a calendar that supports everything. I’d use iCloud calendar but mail and calendar app doesn’t support it. This way all our devices and machines plus Alexa can read the family calendar

cheers,

Adding outlook family calendar to outlook 365


Mate, I feel your pain.

I've been able to get my family calendar to load in Outlook.com (Web browser), W10 Calendar, Outlook for Android, and Outlook 365. Of all of these choices, the ONLY app where my Family calendar is READ-ONLY is ......Outlook 365.

In fact, the ONLY Outlook.com-based calendar that I can edit in Outlook 365 is my personal calendar. According to MS Tech Support (2nd level), because it links to Outlook.com as an Exchange server, it only will update its own account's calendar.

So, I'm hoping someone has an answer soon.
