Can not import Outlook 2007 .CSV or .PST files into Outlook 2013 on Win 8.1 64 bit

I have a new computer (Sony VAIO Pro 11 Ultrabook) with a brand new install of Win 8.1 - 64 bit and MS Office 2013 Professional Plus. Everything works fine EXCEPT I can not import my contacts or calendar from Outlook 2007 Win 7 - 32 bit into the
.msn folders in each case. I can open .pst files in Outlook 2013 but they open in a local file and when I copy and paste them into the Exchange ActiveSync .msn contact and calendar files so that they will sync with Outlook.com Outlook 2013 crashes.
It can't even be reopened unless the wireless is turned off, and then you have to create a new data file as a default and then delete the old account and re-establish it. I have tried using the import functions as well with both
.CSV and .PST files that were exported from Outlook 2007 and an error message stating that this is not supported comes up. I have also tried to turn on sync with my iPhone to see if the files will sync from the phone through Outlook.com and nothing happens
there either - no sync on the web and nothing at the PC. Email works fine after adding the account again etc.
None of the procedures on the forums work (open PST file in the local folder then copy/paste, drag/drop, or move the files) so please don't respond with those links. All result in crash. Does anyone at MS know what's up with their latest
and greatest SW?
Thank you for your assistance.

Import the calendar and contacts in Outlook.com. For contacts, export from Outlook as csv and import into Outlook by choosing the Other option (https://people.live.com/import/other?biciid=ImportCatalog)
You'll need to save the calendar as an ics file to import it. Select the calendar folder, the File, Save as an save as an ics.

Importing a pst file into Outlook for Mac

As soon as I start importing a pst file (from Outlook 2003) into Outlook for Mac 2011 I receive the following message in a pop-up window: "Microsoft Outlook has encountered a problem and needs to close."
Can anyone advise what I should do next. This is the only hassle I've had in migrating from MS to Mac.
Thank you!

There is a Office for Mac Product Forums I'd recommend posting there because they have more experience with Microsoft products than most do on this forum.

How can I import an iMovieHD (5.0.2) file into 10.0.3?

Have an edited iMovieHD (5.0.2) on my PowerePC G4, OS X 10.4.11, that I'd like to migrate/import to iMovie 10.0.3 (Mavericks OS X 10.9.2); can this be done, and if so, how?

Hi gene in ohio!
You should use Migration Assistant to help you get the iMovie file onto your new computer:

Outlook 2013: Imported or copied items from .pst file disappear after a few seconds

I am migrating from an open source email platform (Axigen) to Outlook/Exchange 2013. The Axigen system uses a connector for Outlook allowing users to use Outlook as a client.
To move from Outlook 2010 with the Axigen server to Outlook 2013 with Exchange I have exported the entire mailbox from Outlook 2010 to a .pst file which I am then trying to import into Outlook 2013.
The import process appears to complete successfully and the imported items show up in Outlook 2013 - but only for a second or two. Then they disappear completely, nowhere to be found. This happens with ontacts, emails and calendar items and the result
is the same whether I import the entire mailbox or just a folder at a time.
If I OPEN the .pst file into Outlook 2013 everything in it looks perfectly OK, I can view items with no problems, all folders are there with their correct content. Now if I try to move or copy
items from the opened .pst file into the Outlook 2013 mailbox, I get the exact same symptoms as when importing. Items show for a couple of seconds and then disappear. If I copy or move a
folder, the folder remains in the Outlook 2013 folder tree but the items in it disappear.
Why would items be perfectly visible and readable from an opened .pst file but disappear when they are copied into the new 2013 mailbox?
They are not visible in OWA either, btw, so this is not just Outlook not displaying them, they are really gone. Checking the folder size in Outlook shows an empty folder (size 0, 0 messages). I have tried the /cleanviews switch when starting Outlook.
This has me completely stumped. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

More strangeness:
I set up an Android phone to sync with this account just now. I imported my contacts list from the phone into the Exchange account. After sync, all the contacts are perfectly visible on the phone, but NOT in Outlook 2013 or in OWA...
So maybe it is some sort of display filter thing after all?
That's unbelieveable that message is visiable in Android phone through Exchange ActiveSync but cannot be viewd in OWA...
For the database session, we may enable
Exchange Mailbox Audit logging(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff461937(v=exchg.150).aspx) to check if the message is indeed upload into DB from Outlook.
For the client level, please enable Outlook logging to log what happens inside outlook to aid in your troubleshooting.
We can enable Outlook logging in Outlook 2013 under File > Options > Advanced > "Other" section
Log files are created as .etl files and stored in %userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp. A new log file is created each time Outlook starts.

Okay, I have enabled Outlook logging. However I cannot find any way to read those .etl files.
I also enabled audit logging in Exchange but as I understand it that will not log operations performed by the mailbox owner, only non-owner access.
I think I am close to giving up on this. I can't believe an enterprise email platform will simply delete messages copied into a mailbox without any error message whatsoever, and no way for an admin to track what is happening.
It is definitely happening when syncing with Exchange, so there must be something in these items (and
remember this happens not only to email messages, but also to Contacts) that makes the Exchange server decide these messages should be discarded witout warning.
One other thing: Folders copied from the .pst are visible on Outlook (although their contents are deleted) but not on ActiveSync clients. If I create a new folder in the mailbox, it syncs as it should.

Outlook 2007 won't open .pst file from Outlook 2000

I have been using Outlook 2000 for 10 years and hit the 2GB limit. As a result, Outlook 2000 would not open mail and did not permit me to delete mail to clear space.
I’d been meaning to install my Office 2007 and this seemed like the time to do so. Once installed, I attempted to open my 2 GB PST file in Outlook 2007. No luck.
Messages: “The message interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.” And “Cannot display information. There is either a problem connecting to the server or an error has occurred.”
Researching on the Web, I found Microsoft guidance that I could create a new data file and import the old (ANSI) .PST file into this new (Unicode) .PST file. When I did
that, during the Import, I encountered another error message: “The file has reached its maximum size. (Followed by two unhelpful sentences – can’t be imported).”
OK, I think, I have to reduce the size of that file. Research yields Microsoft’s “oversized PST and PST crop tool.”
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296088 I do that and follow the instructions to scan the truncated file with Microsoft’s
scanpst.exe tool, which is included with Office.
Another error: scanpst.exe will not complete its scan. I receive a mysterious error message with no indication what the exact problem is. I created multiple versions
of the truncated .PST file, each smaller than the last, so that the smallest was 1.7 GB. Still errors with scanpst.exe and ultimately no luck.
I have spent more than 10 hours trying to solve this problem and am at wit’s end. I’m a freelance writer, and it’s costing me money. What’s worse,
info on projects I’m supposed to be working on are locked in that PST file! All data is stored locally on a Dell laptop with Windows 7.
Help anybody? Please? Thank you!

Fifteen hours later, I was back in business, having upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2007, a process one would expect to take a half-hour tops. I'm no IT pro, but
I am pretty accomplished at fixing problems. This one seemed beyond my reach, as neither of the utilities Microsoft recommended to address the issue, the truncation tool and scanpst.exe, worked -- what a surprise! I engaged a local technician to diagnose the
problem remotely, and over a course of four hours he fixed it using a third-party program called "Outlook Recovery Toolbox." I'd actually downloaded that tool and fooled around a bit, but didn't use it for a full scan as I think that required a purchase, and
who knows if it's malware or what. Well, it worked.
So 15 hours lost. That cost me hundreds of dollars as I am self-employed, plus I have a $150 bill from the technician, which is more than fair for his two hours of labor
(the extra two hours were scanning and importing time). Again, Microsoft managed to turn into an epic ordeal what the consumer expects to be a straightforward upgrade process.
Now I have Outlook 2007, oh boy! The first thing I notice is the inflexible mail header above the message body. WTF is that supposed to be? Who was the Einstein who thought
that up? It renders USELESS like an inch of real estate right in the center of the screen! I find that it can be hidden (not, of course, with a simple, convenient and sensible right click ... oh NOOOO ... but through multi-click options available in the toolbar).
(For background, Outlook 2000 did not have that inflexible mail header -- the header info (subject, date, sender, CC) was part of the email, so if you scrolled down the
email, the header went with it and made the best possible use of available space).
Now here's a twist -- Outlook does not show, in your list of emails, whether an email has an attachment if the email was sent via Lotus Notes. That was a glitch in 2000,
and one I would expect to have been resolved in 2007. BUT NO. So, just moments ago, I have an email/meeting invitation sent from a client using Lotus Notes. Even though I had told Outlook to hide headers, it disobeyed me ...
why? Because this was a "meeting invite" email, offering me options, in that stupid inflexible header, to Accept, Decline, Propose New Time, & etc. Well, those options only increased the size of that inflexible header, so that the visible area of
the email WAS LESS THAN ONE INCH HIGH. Yes, I can adjust it -- how very productive!
These two Microsoft glitches / manifestations of poor design -- no alerting to attachments from Lotus clients and that horrid header -- very nearly conspired to cause
me to miss a critical attachment displayed only at the very bottom of the email. The document attached needs to be read and commented before the meeting, and only by the grace of God did I happen to scroll, IN THAT 3/4 INCH MAIL WINDOW, to the bottom and happen
to spot said critical attachment.
Do I expect anything more from Microsoft ... other than more grief and stupidity? Sadly, I do not. It is my misfortune in life to have to use Microsoft Word on a daily
basis, as I have for the past 10 years.
Before that, I used WordPerfect and what a wonderful program it was! I recall using WordPerfect to write and design one lovely graphical document in particular that earned
me an A+ in class. WordPerfect was so easy and powerful, with virtually no hassles—just gratification. Is it better to have loved (WordPerfect) and lost, than to have never loved at all?
Unfortunately, since all my clients use Word, I have to as well. Frankly, and I hope this isn’t against board rules, I am merely speaking the truth as I see it—Microsoft
Word is an utterly wretched application that has caused me untold grief and aggravation. Bulleting, text boxes, fickle fonts, the list is very, very long …. But it only gets worse!!!
The whole .doc .vs
docx is a complete debacle; the “Compatibility Pack” is a cruel joke. If I use Word 2000 on .docx documents, here are some of the inconveniences and frustrations that I encounter:
Bulleting function grayed out
Spelling errors not highlighted
Additional linespaces introduced into printed documents
Mysterious transposition of bold, italics and underlining
Inability to work with text boxes (“Error! Reference source not found!”)
Track Changes not accurately recorded
These are not incidental issues. I’m a spelling bee champion, but unless the spelling highlight function works, I am bound to have a typo or two in a 20-page document.
This affects the quality of my work and my livelihood.
To make matters worse, my Windows 7 often won’t find .docx documents. If I had worked on a .docx document something four months that I recall included the word
“Rumplestiltskin,” the Windows 7 Find function should locate it, but it does not.
I could go on and on. How about the dismal wireless connectivity in Window 7, vs. XP, which was virtually flawless. But I’m trying to catch up on the 15 hours that I lost yesterday thanks to Microsoft’s
awful Outlook troubleshooting and upgrade functionality.

Importing .pst files from Outlook to Enourage2004

Hi everyone,
I am looking for the easiest way to help my mother-in-law transfer over her PC files to her brand new MacBook (1.83Ghz Intel Duo)- she is a first time Mac user. I personally have little experience using Entourage, so I am trying to find out the best way to transfer over her files. She exported her outlook files (.pst) onto a USB flash drive so we can import onto the new Mac; however, there is no .pst option for import on the Entourage program. She does not have Outlook Express, but Outlook 2005 from the Office suite.
Any way of getting those .pst files off the flash drive? Her PC desktop is at her home in Virginia, and she just purchased the Macbook today with me out in LA. We would like to set up her Entourage ASAP, especially since I can help her while she is here in LA. If not, open to other suggestions (like .csv file export/import) or anyone know of any useful scripts?
Thanks so much
Leah

We currently have the .pst files on a USB flash drive- is there anything that we can download on the MacBook to convert pst files?

Import pst files in Outlook 2013

Hi all!
I have a simple question for you...
The normal procedure suggested me to import a pst file from Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2013 from File->Open and Export->Import/Export->Import data from other programs....etc. This procedure works normally.
If I export mail by mail (one each mail at time) from Outlook 2007 to a normal folder in my desktop I have a folder with more .msg files. And, when I finished to do this I import mail by mail from my desktop folder to new .pst file in Outlook 2013.
This procedure can be corrupt or damage the pst file?
Many thanks!
Bye!

You are using the term "export" for two different scenarios - one of which has nothing to do with "exporting". Similarly, the term "folder" means 2 different things under the scenario described.
Specifically, you don't export email's one message at a time, in this case, these are being "saved" in a Windows folder which is not the same thing as an Outlook folder (contained in a PST file).
Instead of going through this latter process which has to be time-consuming and a pain, have you considered simply opening the pst file used in O'2007 and then just moving/copying the desired messages to the desired O'2013 folder? Am sure there is a reason
that you're going through this latter process but on the surface it seems that it's a long way around to arrive at your destination.

How to sync with new PST file in outlook 2007?

Hi,
I synced my new iPhone with everything in my outlook 2007 without a glitch.
Then recently I had an outlook issue and saved the .pst file where Outlook stores all its data to a new name. I also created a new profile name for myself in Outlook so when I launch it, it prompts me to chose my profile.
Since I did this, outlook is not syncing anymore. And my guess is that it is still syncing with my old .pst file (which is corrupted and I dont want to open it anymore).
any ideas as to how I can reset the sync options so iPhone syncs with my current PST?
Thanks very much for any help. much appreciated.
M

OKAY!
I picked up on your point about the default PST and went back and, when prompted for the option to choose a profile, I clicked the box that makes that profile the default (previously I didn't pay attention to this because the box is only visible when you click the 'details' option).
And then the sync worked.
So problem resolved and thanks very much for your help.
Sending good internet Karma to you,
Maziar

I would be more inclined to blame Vista in general than the version of GW -
I've used the Advansys product with GW8 with no problems. GW8 has been
tested with Vista, but I have no idea if any of the conversion utilities
have. Can you just do it from another PC that isn't Vista?

Time to upgrade to GW8!

How do I import my Outlook 2013 PST file into Office 365 and then have them permanently synced?

I have Office 365. I have Outlook 2013 downloaded on my computer with all my emails and contacts, etc.
I want to import the entire PST file with my emails, contacts etc. into Office 365 / Exchange Online (cloud?). Once that is done, I want to set it up so that my Desktop Outlook will always update and sync with my Office 365 when I am out of the office and
use the Outlook mail App.
PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
You can also use Outlook or Outlook Web App to import your existing PST file into your Office 365 account.
First configure your Office 365 account into Outlook, then use Import/Export
feature in Outlook client to import your PST file:

I cannot open archieved pst file in outlook 2010, can someone help me

Сan some one help me to open my pst file which I had cut copied while moving on to new Laptop, now I cannot open this file in outlook 2010. I tried repairing the file using scanpst and other demo version from kernel and other software... most of them say
"not a valid pst file" Please help me as the date in this pst is important.

Your PST file might have got corrupt or damaged with 'Cut Copied' , that's why you are not able to access it on your new Laptop. Could you let me know how did you export your PST file from your old laptop/system?
A valid way to Export PST file is by using Import & Export option in Outlook (Open Outlook -> File Tab -> Click Options -> Click Advanced -> Import & Export) . Once you export the PST file on your old computer, copy that PST file into
any external storage drive(or by any other medium) and transfer it to your new laptop. Now open Outlook and Create a new profile ( Click the Show Profiles button -> Click
Add to create a new profile -> Enter a name for your profile -> Enter Name, Email id & Password -> Click 'Manually configure server settings' box to get into More Settings and
customize the Outgoing server settings.) Once you are done with this, Import that PST into Outlook using Import & Export wizard.
