10.4.5 installed from download and Entourage will no longer load completely

I have updated from 10.4.4 to 10.4.5 using download from apple.com. On restarting, attempt to start Entourage gets "could not open that feature - end of file was reached". All Entourage has loaded except the dropdown menus on the Mail page are not there (and therefore Mail cannot be used) and cannot access stored emails, although the folder title list is there - Mail downloads emails automatically, but they cannot be accessed. I repeated the update, but no change.

Let me take a pot-shot and say what a horrible program Entourage is... it's like the Yugo of email clients... lots and lots and lots of attempted features that only work half the time. It's like the fat kid who eats you out of house and home. Sorry, but that program was the cause of considerable time wasted this week at work and I for one wouldn't cry a bit if the whole thing vaporized.
Here's what you should check: have you updated to the latest version of Entourage -- version 11.2.1. There are updates available on Microsoft's site. In typical Microsoft fashion, 11.2.1 is actually the program that version 11 SHOULD have been. It's a lot more stable and actually offers some features that make it work with the Exchange environment for which it was designed -- feature conspicuously absent from the straight Entourage 2004 (v. 11) release.
If you are having problems launching it, try deleting your Entourage preference files. In one severe case, I had to delete all Microsoft Office files from a drive before Entourage would work correctly... this includes a move/rename of your Microsoft User Data, deletion of all preference files from ~/Library AND the deletion of legacy preference files from any OS 9 System Folder. Then reinstall... but try the simple preference thing first, it might clear things up. Also, try rebuilding your mailbox by holding down the option key when you launch the program.
Mail version 2 is unfortunately not constructed of the same rugged simplicity as Mail version 1, so it has some annoying problems. Delete your preference file from there too (again, it's in your home directory --> Library --> Preferences). That's the only thing I've ever had to do fix a Mail setup.
Watch your connection types, too. In general IMAP is a far simpler connection and generates far few problems than connecting with Microsoft's top-heavy Exchange protocol. It's worth it to write down all your connection settings in the event of you having to re-enter them after trashing a preference file.

  • Lightroom 3 install from downloaded version thru Adobe Store

    I just bought a MacBook Pro for photo editing. I have the original disk for LR2 which I had installed on a Windows machine; I purchased the LR3 upgrade download from Adobe Store to also run on that Windows machine. This downloaded file is saved on that Windows computer as a .exe file.
    When I tried to use it on the new Mac, the Mac OS doesn't recognize it.
    I went to the Adobe store to download it again, maybe in Mac version, but the "Win/Mac" English version shows "not applicable"
    However, "Mac multiple languages looks like it can be downloaded.
    Do I need to install LR2 from the original disk, then down load the upgrade while on the Mac?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    just to the side of this forum thread is a link that answered my question. Basically, on your Mac, go to the Adobe Store and download the full trial version of LR3 for Mac. It shows up as a dmg file. Install it and you put in your SN for your previously purchased LR3 upgrade; another box will then appear asking for your original LR purchase SN, since this is an upgrade. Put those numbers in and BAM! all done. Worked for me!
    Thanks for those that responded with help.

  • Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded. My ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all.The LED screen shows  "copy 1 or 2 from 101" and it will remain like that. It looks like sync but there's nothing to happen. It doesn't stop by it self. How to solve?

    Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded my ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all. The LED screen shows çopying 1 or 2 from 101' and itt will remain like that.
    It looks like sync but nothing is happening. The sync doesn't stop by itself. Is there anybody to solve this problem? In previous versions never a problem.

    I have exactly the same issues with my new 80G iPOD. I have found that when connecting to my PC, the iPOD does not start iTUNES 7. This can be resolved by stopping the iPOD Service in Computer Management, connecting the iPOD and then starting it again. Then when you start iTUNES it finds the iPOD. - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
    Seems like a stupid long-winded way to do things, but at least you can get some stuff on to your iPOD.
    As far as using Restore goes - I just get the restoring iPOD message you described, which it blatantly isn't :((

  • My iPad is downloading my video purchases automatically, but it's only downloading two episodes from Supernatural S10 that I have watched and deleted. I can't stop it from downloading, and I can't download anything else because of it. Help!

    My iPad is downloading my video purchases automatically, but it's only downloading two episodes from Supernatural S10 that I have watched and deleted. I can't stop it from downloading, and I can't download anything else because of it. I don't know what to do. There is some sort of glitch happening and it's really affecting my iPad. I've tried letting it download but before it completes, it says it is unable to complete process and asks me to try again. I am on a limited interest data plan and can't afford these downloads to continue. What can I do?

    Have you tried deleting the App within the Settings menu (rather than from the Home Screen)?
    Settings>General>Usage>
    From the Apps list, find the App (press "Show all Apps" if the app is not in the immediately shown list), tap on the app you wish to delete, then tap "Delete App"

  • Tried to upgrading ipad 1 from itunes and l guess it did not complete because all I have showing on the ipad is the itunes logo with the usb cable. when l try to connect it to my system, it resquest that a driver be used to install the device. Pls help

    Tried to upgrading ipad 1 from itunes and l guess it did not complete the process because all I have showing on the ipad is the itunes logo with the usb cable. When l try to connect it to my system, it resquest that a driver be used to install the device. Please help! How do I restore?

    Restoration is relatively simplistic. Here's whatcha do. Plug your ipad in, open itunes, now if itunes doesn't recognize it then you may have a problem, anywho, click on the ipad in the devices interface and go to the info tab, click restore, and it'll be just like it was when it left the factory. To get you data back, it should ask if you would like to use a backup, just select the backup you want and you'll be good to go. That is if you regularly backed up your iPad.

  • I have restored my iMac from backup and it will not boot

    I restored my iMac from an external drive using time machine and when it restarts, it sit with the grey screen and petals rotating.
    The restore was used as I had tried to share be two iTunes libararies and manged to loose the content links within iTunes, so thought the restore would take me back, pre user error.
    I have tried. 3 different restore points and checked the disk, using disk utility, that was ok. Repaired the permissions ok  on the disk and still the machine will not reboot.
    It goes through the restore ok then just sits on the grey screen after reboot.
    Any ideas or have I really screwed it up?

    Reinstalled OSX lion overnight and recovered ok, most of the files were intact.
    Would not let me use the migration tool from tm as it would nor show the bak up drive, even though it is backing up to it.  Still miffed why the restore would not work, as the mac came with lion installed from new and I had backed up from day 1.
    I do not have much faith in the tm backup.  I just hope that if there is a next time, that I can retrieve my information.
    I bought a mac thinking I would not be having theses issues, I hope this is nt a sign of things to come!
    Thanks for your support and confirming I was doing the right things to try and recover my situation.

  • I dropped my 2009 MacBook Pro and it will no longer work; I need to re-install the OS software to hopefully restore it: what disk(s) do I use?

    I dropped my 2009 MacBook Pro and it will no longer work; I need to re-install the OS software to hopefully restore it: what OS disk(s) do I use?  This may sound like a stupid question but I'm seeking to buy something inexpensive and need to know if a higher version (other than what was initially installed) will work.

    Bekah1996,
    since you didn’t receive its original grey installation DVDs when you purchased it, you’ll need to contact Apple directly to purchase a replacement pair. (The grey installation discs aren’t available in the Apple stores.) Some Mid 2009 models originally came with 10.5.7 (Leopard), and some originally came with 10.6.0 or 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard). If yours had 10.5.7 installed, then you’ll probably receive a 10.5.7 set of grey discs from Apple. If you’d like to upgrade its OS to anything newer, then you’d also need to purchase the white retail Snow Leopard DVD — but you should wait to see what Apple sends you, since if they send you a 10.6.0 or 10.6.2 set, you wouldn’t need to purchase the white Snow Leopard disc.

  • I'm installing 10.7 and it will not finish.  The time goes into negative minutes.

    I'm installing 10.7 and it will not finish.  The time goes into negative minutes.  It is on a 2 year old 13.3 Macbook Pro. Had hopes of wiping the hard drive durring the install. Any ideas?

    Ok, so after like 4 days of going through all these different issues, I figured out that several programs weren't downloading, and it was an issue with my wireless connectivity messing up the digital signatures, so if you plug in your comp to the modem and delete your temp files, it should start to work!

    Hi Bradley,
    Just sorted my iphone 5 out, by doing a full reset & starting from the very beginning.
    My phone seems to be working fine now.
    Although it seems I didn't back up my 4S properly & I'm missing all my messages & notes since the end of July
    Hope a full complete reset works for you.
