How to sync calendars between Microsoft 365 and Google

Want to sync calendars between Microsoft 365 and Google? I've had this problem and here's the only solution I've come up with after a lot of searching. It only works with a Windows machine and Microsoft Outlook.

1. Buy OggSync.
2. Install in Outlook.
3. Sync your Outlook calendar with Microsoft 365.
4. Run OggSync. This tool, installed as an add-in for Outlook, will sync your Outlook calendar (which is now pulling from 365) and your Google Calendar.

It works perfectly but it doesn't happen automatically. You have to have Outlook open to produce a sync.

installing a Canon Selphy CP900 on Windows 8


First, disable driver signing enforcement:

From the Charms bar, select Settings then Change PC Settings (bottom right of the screen).

Select General and scroll down to Advanced Startup and click restart now.

From the menu, select troubleshooting then Advanced Options then windows startup options.

Restart again and select number 7 Disable driver signature enforcement.

Your PC will boot up as normal.

Now Right Click the Windows 7 driver file that you downloaded from the Canon website and select troubleshoot compatibility.

Go through the procedure and tell it that the driver worked in Windows 7.

It should then install and work.

Once you reboot again the driver enforcement is reverted but the printer still works.
