All my mailboxes in Office for mac 2011 deleted when upgrading the version of OS X Lion from 10.7.3?

Morning.
I upgraded my OS X Lion software from 10.7.3 yesterday and once done all my mailboxes in Outlook for Mac 2011 had been deleted - Outlook for Mac is completely empty! I have a yahoo and gmail account which are easy enough to resync, however I also had historical .pst files loaded up that I don't have any other copies of, that i need urgently :-).
I am using Time Machine to back up to a Time Capsule, so I restored to the backup about an hour before I did the OS X Lion update, however my Outlook folder is still empty :-(.
Please can someone assist in resolving this? How can I recover or locate the data files and reupload?
Many Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I went to the respective folder and found the database file, however when I try open in Outlook I get the following message "You have not set up an e-mail account." and that I need to set an email account to send and receive messages?
In addition I tried to then import the database file and received the following message "The data file is damaged and Outlook is not able to import it". I then went into my later backup's in Time Machine, however there are no Data files under the Main Identity folder to compare against the current one? Any ideas what else I can do, and also why this would be he case? Many Thanks

    I'm trying to install Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. Halfway through the installation, the MacBook Air tells me that I must close Safari for the installation to continue. As far as I can tell, Safari IS closed. I can't discover any process that will close it any more than it is now. Installer won't let me shut down or re-start the computer because it (Installer) is still running.
    What am I missing?

    The MS installer seems to think Safari is active so try the following...
    Right-click on the Safari icon in the Dock and if applicable, select Quit.
    or
    Try Utilities > Activity Monitor and look for Safari in the Process Name column.  If present, highlight Safari and then click the Quit Process icon.

  • Retina display - blurry office for mac 2011 and web pages?

    Hi everyone,
    I was planning on making a trip to my uni tomorrow to make the purchase of the macbook pro 13 inch 8GB RAM and 256 GB SSD (for student discount) but while doing some final research I came across several disadvantages of the RD.
    For the next 3 months, the macbook will be used for report/thesis writing which means ill be using office for mac 2011 and adobe reader heavily as well as the internet. I have read many articles saying office for mac 2011 even after applying the update is still blurry and grainy as are the majority of web pages and this has put me off buying and made me think id be better off with the non retina display model, meaning I'd save £200 too.
    Can anyone offer any advice on this and confirm whether or not this is true, and whether you would recommend going ahead with the purchase? A screenshot of office for mac 2011 on a retina display would be perfect
    Thanks!

    I agree with BobTheFisterman.  I have Pages 5, Pages '09 and Office for Mac 2011.  I really like the Pages programs - each of the versions in their own way - but I don't like using Word on Office for Mac.  It's not the same as Office 10 when used on a Windows machine.  Not close at all in fact.  I use it because I have it, and emailing documents between my Mac and work where we use Windows makes it easy.  "Easy" is not the same as liking the software though.
    The point of this, is that I would not recommend buying it.  I've heard that Open Office and Libre Office are very credible alternatives, and work very much like Word on Windows.  Both are free and get very good reviews.  I've not used either so can't speak from personal experience, but what I would say after buying Office for Mac is that I wish I had tried the free alternatives first.
    The other alternative to consider of course of Google Drive.  I use that for non-confidential documents, but I wouldn't trust it for storage of any confidential work related stuff.

  • Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

    Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
    PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • Office for mac 2011 not working correctly on new Macbook Pro- Help

    I have a MacBook Pro from September and had One to One transfer all files/programs (including 2008 Office).  I then purchased the Office for Mac 2011 program and they installed it (I guess they did not remove the older program).  It has never worked correctly and I have tried to contact Microsoft to no avail.
    None of the documents open with Fonts intact (Word and Excel open up blank though the graphic elements show up.  I have to Select All and choose a font to make it show up. 
    Powerpoint is barely functional (none of the layouts actually show up when I select them, the sidebar of slides does not update as I type or try to change themese, etc.  And then when I type, the program freezes and then shuts down.
    I have uninstalled 2008 and 2011 and then re-installed 2011 but the same issues occur.  Someone on the microsoft community told me to remove my duplicate fonts, I ddi that and the same issues still occur. My brother has the same laptop and Office for Mac 2011 and no issues.
    Can someone help me basically try to start fresh- should I uninstall again? (I waas told that installing/uninstalling too many times can further the problem).
    Help!
    Thanks,

  • Launching MS Office for Mac 2011: "Font is not Installed" errors

    Message Microsoft (MSOffice).app wants to use the font "xxx". This font is not installed. Allow Microsoft(whatever).app to use this font? show in finder, don't allow, allow. happens with all Office apps, runs through entire font library.
    about 3 months ago this started - not sure what I did to kick it off, but now whenever I try to use a Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 app it runs through the series of fonts and asks me to do something. I can go through one at a time and select 'don't ask me again' and 'allow' or 'don't allow' but I'd rather figure out (and solve) the problem. Any ideas?

    Then something is setup incorrectly, which version of OSX are you on, and is this an iCloud mail address (@mac, @me or @icloud)
    From your description of the issue I suspect that it is Outlook that is incorrectly setup.

    Here is a very easy possible solution, worth trying before uninstalling Office. It worked for us so hopefully might work for you.
    We installed Yosemite on a test machine to check for problems. Office 2011 for Mac ran and still does run fine on that machine with Yosemite.
    As a result we installed Yosemite on our main machines. At the same time we updated Office for Mac 2011 using the latest update 14.4.7. It was at this point that Office started crashing every time a document was opened.
    Solution that worked for us.
    1 Using Font Book (comes with your Mac) we removed all duplicate fonts. We selected the automatically remove option.
    2 Restart computer.
    3 Shut down computer.
    4 Restart computer in 'safe boot' to do this:
    a) Shut down the computer.
    b) Press the power button.
    c) Immediately after hearing start-up tone, hold down SHIFT key.
    d) Release SHIFT key after Apple logo and progress indicator appears.
    e) Once computer has opened, restart the computer without holding down any keys.
    5 Hopefully all should be ok now. Your machine might run a little slow for a while as it rebuilds caches etc but all ours were back at full speed after a few minutes.
    Best Wishes

  • I am trying to use Microsoft Office for Mac 2011

    I am trying to use Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 as my daughters school uses it (on PC's). However, it won't save any documents. It gives me the message that; it is not a valid file name, check the path to make sure it was typed correctly and select a file from the list of files and folders. All of which I think I have tried and there is just no success. It has just completely lost my daughters homework essay so it is not very popular around here at the moment! Anyone with any ideas for this glitch (?).

    Doesn't sound like Office for Mac. In any case post in the Microsoft forums:

    Hi there,
    Can you import the PST file and find the sent items in another Outlook for Windows? If the issue only occurs in Outlook for MAC, I'd suggest you pose the question in the forums below:

  • Pages, Office for Mac 2011

    Hi. After so many hassles every time I export my Pages documents to Word (especially using Pages 5 and especially with the footnoting), I've finally realized I need to get Office for Mac. Until I try it, I don't know if I'll be writing in Pages, exporting and then checking the document in Windows for Mac, or if I like Windows for Mac enough that I'll write directly in that program. What I would like to know is this: are there any issues with Pages '09 (OK, AND Pages 5) and compatibility with this Windows program. And when the document looks right in Windows for Mac can I be absolutely certain that it will be right when opened on a PC?
    I'd appreciate someone's thoughts on this.
    The reason I ask especially about Pages '09 and Windows for Mac 2011 is that the Windows is obviously a later program: is the older Mac program OK with it?
    Thank you for your advice.

    I agree with BobTheFisterman.  I have Pages 5, Pages '09 and Office for Mac 2011.  I really like the Pages programs - each of the versions in their own way - but I don't like using Word on Office for Mac.  It's not the same as Office 10 when used on a Windows machine.  Not close at all in fact.  I use it because I have it, and emailing documents between my Mac and work where we use Windows makes it easy.  "Easy" is not the same as liking the software though.

  • Office for Mac 2011 Advice please

    For many years I have been producing numerous  documents using Office Professional 2010 on a PC.
    Since purchasing a Mac I have being working with Pages 09 & Pages 5, neither of which in my opinion, has the versatility of Office.
    I note that there is an app. Office for Mac 2011.
    Could someone please answer the following?
    Can I transfer documents, (some quite long) in Office Professional 2010 to Office for Mac 2011?
    Can I transfer documents in Pages 09 & 5 to Office for Mac 2011?
    Are there any issues I should be aware of in installing Office for Mac 2011?
    Thank you.

    1. Yes, the file formats are interchangeable (excel, word, powerpoint)
    2. You will need to export them from Pages in .doc or docx format.
    Pre 3: Backup first
    3. Read the directions, and note that Outlook will be wholly incompatible with most (not all) online services, especially Apples. You can buy Office with or without Outlook, it's cheaper without.
