I generally use BusyCal for viewing my calendar and Apple Mail for my email — both connected to Office365 for my work.
Sometime last week, BusyCal stopped responding. I contacted BusyCal support and they suggested rebooting. Sadly, that did help but only for a bit before long, it was hanging again. I tried opening Outlook and it also hung. All this time, Mail has been operating fine and updating with new mail from O365. This suggests that it’s an issue with calendar sync and not a general O365 sync issue.
I googled a bit and found some old posts which suggested killing exchangesyncd (the name implies a daemon for sync with exchange). That didn’t work either.
I ran Microsoft AutoUpdate and updated Outlook to 16.94 but that did nothing for me either.
I’m on the latest MacOS: Sequoia 15.3.1
Specific questions:
- Is anybody else seeing this?
- Have you figured out a cause or fix?
- Other than
exchangesyncd, are there other background processes to try to restart rather than the big hammer of laptop reboot?
