Check out the proven fixes for the Outlook error: “Cannot update the appointment because the corresponding…”
The calendar update error usually occurs due to sync conflicts between the Outlook desktop app and Microsoft Exchange Server, or any calendar-sharing services, like Google or iCloud.
Here’s the full error message:
- Cannot update the appointment because the corresponding item you sync does not match, to resolve the conflicts, click on Open.
Usually, you should click on the Open button so Outlook shows both the local and server copy of the calendar event. You can delete one and keep the other. However, that often fails because of a known Conflict Message dialog bug.
Follow these tried and tested fixes to get around the issue and continue your work:
