Trying to sync Sharepoint calendar w/ Outlook for mac; Protocol Error; Used about:config and get same error.
I'm trying to sync a Sharepoint calendar with Outlook on my mac. When I click on "Connect to Client", I get this error:
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (stssync) isn't associated with any program.
I used the about:config instructions to create a new string:
- Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
- Right-click -> New -> Boolean -> Name: network.protocol-handler.external.foo -> Value -> true (Replacing foo with the protocol you're specifying)
- Right-click -> New -> String -> Name: network.protocol-handler.app.foo -> Value -> /path/to/app (Replacing foo with the protocol you're specifying and /path/to/app with the path to the application you want to run.
- Ensure network.protocol-handler.expose-all is set to true.
The path I used (which opens Outlook if I click on the icon) is:
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Microsoft Outlook.app
I'm still getting the same error message. Please help me to allow Firefox to open stssync pages so that I can sync my calendars.
Thank you in advance.

NO SHAREPOINT INTEGRATION! To be considered a true business software, wouldn't this be a nice feature? Oh yeah, I left feedback and hope many others will as well.

Currently, Outlook for Mac has no SharePoint integration.
Please be sure to let Microsoft know you'd like to see this feature in future versions by using the Help --> Send Feedback mechanism in any Office application.
Hope this helps!
