Duplicate pst files when openning Outlook 2010

Hello,
Each time I open iCloud in Microsoft Outlook 2010, a new .pst file is created. it has the same name, but the number increases. e.g emailaddress(1).pst, emailaddress(2).pst, etc. It also downloads the email items each time and seems to be rebuilding the pst file. Is it possible to setup Outlook, so that only one pst file is used? FYI, I'm setup using IMAP, so that multiple devises can access the email. I'm using windows 7.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated
Best regards
Tony

Thanks you all for discussing this thread, I too was a victim of email migration (migrating from apple mail to outlook in windows). Thanks to this thread I got Apple mail to pst converter Mac Version: http://applemailtopst.com/download-free-trial-applemail-to-pst-converter/.
To look out for the best tool I downloaded both the version and performed a check in both. The mac version had an extra edge s it could directly access the apple mail data and there was no need to export or archive apple mail data. Possibly it took only three
clicks to complete the coversion process and a few minutes.
Thanks once again for this thread.

Makes Duplicate Of File When Opening Pictures On A PC

I have photos and an external hard drive. When I either select the photos in the library and drag them to the desktop, or select the photos and do an export it does export the files to the external hard drive. When I open it on the mac there is only 1 of each file there. When I plug it into the PC and view the folder with the files in it there is a duplicate of each. The weird thing though is for example if I have a file named picture1.jpg it has that in there but also creates a ._picture1.jpg
What does it create that duplicate file with the ._ before it?
When I plug it back into the mac that ._ file is not there.

Mac OS stores "resource forks" (icons) in image files but PC users get two files when they are shared via HD, CD and even when using a PC to view the contents of any Mac directory on a PC.
My simple fix is to "delete" the resource fork prior to sharing with PC users so they don't get confused.
CMM's can do this with a right click prior to sharing and most image apps can also delete that resource fork file.
Mac Mail app allows the "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" which also removes the resource fork file so viewers are not confused.

I want to develop utility to take backup of outlook pst file automatically even if outlook is in use. When outlook is closed then I am able to copy pst file but when outlook is in use then its showing error "The process can not access the file
because another process has locked a portion of the file".
Does anyone have idea how to programmatically copy pst file even if outlook is open? Another question is does anyone have idea of incremental backup of pst file?
Please give some idea if you know the answer.... Its really very urgent..

How to Repair Database .pst file of MS Outlook?

I am unable to open my Outlook file due to corruption how to repair database .pst file of MS outlook. I was using Microsoft Outlook 2007 from last 2 years and everything is going well. But suddenly I have got an error message “outlook data file cannot
be accessed ” while accessing PST file. It was also suggested me to run scanpst.exe tool. I had tried to repair my inaccessible PST file many times with the help of Inbox repair tool. But this utility is unable to solve my issue, please suggest me how
can I repair my corrupted database.pst file without losing any information. Is there any way to restore all information from inaccessible PST file into new PST file to continue working as previously?

Hi,
My first recommendation is Scanpst.exe from Microsoft, but since you mentioned it didn't fix the issue, you can also try some 3rd-party tools to fix the data file. Please remember to keep a backup before performing any actions on the file.
In case the issue was caused by the corrupted profile, you can also create a new profile and setup an account in Outlook, check if you can open the .pst file.

Can't save 24 x 36 ai version 9 file when opened in CS6

Can’t save 24 x 36 ai version 9 file when opened in CS6, even when opened as an outline format. I was able to save the file when reduced to 8 x 11, once saved I resized it back to 24 x 36 but it still didn’t work. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Any solutions for lost render/preview files when opening files?s

Have any solutions been found for the intermittent lost render/preview files when opening a large file? I have Premiere CS6. A large project file that I have been working on lately opened without a hitch with previews intact ...until I bought new faster hard drives and rebuilt the computer (built with the same drive letters). I just installed the latest updates. When I now open this file, a segment of the sequence always opens without previews, unrendered, no matter how many times I rendered the file previously. I don't use 3rd party plugins. I am using the warp stabilizer. I tried all the suggestions that I have found on the forums (using a blank sequence to close and open, unchecking “write XMD…” etc.) but none work. I checked the render/preview drive, and these files are on that drive but they will no longer link to the project. It now takes a good 15 minutes to re-render every time I open.

I may have found a solution. I took out the warp stabilizer, and then added it back in on the clips in question, and then re-analysed and re-rendered. So far, so good. It seems that bringing in the warp stabilizer effect in the file into the re-built computer needed re-analysing (as I do after this 2 day exercise.)

Corporate Win7/Office 2010 | Severe Lag when opening Office 2010 files over the network

Good Evening Everyone,
I work in a corporate environment for one of the top banks in the country (USA). We recently upgraded our computers to Windows 7. (The image has office 2010 included in the build)
I've been experiencing some severe lag when opening Office files over the network. Let me start by saying I've researched a lot and have yet to find a solution that works or even makes much of an improvement.
Notes: My laptop is new (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise). The remote desktop where the files lie is new as well. (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise) Both computers have good hardware and more than enough juice to handle applications.
There are certain files I work on along with other co-workers that we store on a computer within the office. We simply create shortcuts to the files on our local machines and make changes, etc. from there. However, after this upgrade, every time I try to
open a file on the remote computer, it takes over a 1 minute to load. I've spoken to our support team who sent someone out and confirmed it's not the network.
Both computers are on the same subnet as well. I've changed the trust center settings on both the client computers and "server" to trust any computer on the network. I have also changed the network card's speed from "Auto Negotiate" to
full duplex 100mbps with no luck.
I am out of options here and in desperate need for a fix. Even saving changes to a file we work on takes forever. 50% of the time when I close a spreadsheet, the title bar has a not responding message and takes a minute to eventually close.
PS: Extra Info : All computers run McAfee AV and use McAfee for disk encryption. I've confirmed all computers are up-to-date in every respect with the AV software.
Thanks,

Try:
Open My Computer.
Open the Tools menu and choose Folder Options...
Select the File Types tab.
Select the extension (for example DOC, or XLS) of the file that is slow to open.
In the Details section, click [Advanced], and another dialog box will open.
In the Actions section, click Open then click [Edit...], and another dialog box will open.

Server and mailbox name check popup when opening Outlook connecting to Exchange 2010

Everytime our users open Outlook 2007 or 2010
this box pops up asking to verify the Microsoft Exchange server name and mailbox name. The user's information is automatically filled in and clicking ok makes the box go away but it will eventually pop up again or when outlook is closed and re-opened.
When "cached mode" is disabled the problem goes away (but "cached mode" is necessary for our users).
The problem began when we deleted an old Exchange 2003 server (we are now using only Exchange Server 2010).
Outlook user's profile has been recreated : does not fix. Users having that problem with Outlook 2010 dot not experience it with the OWA interface.
How to fix that problem ?

Error message when opening Outlook: The operation failed. The messaging interfaces have returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.

In an Exchange 2010 server/Outlook 2013 environment, one of our users is getting an error message every time they start Outlook. The error message says: "The operation failed. The messaging interfaces have returned an unknown error. If the problem

The system is as follows:
Size of .pst file: 2.3 GB (Unicode format so there should be plenty of space left)
OS: Windows 7 (64-Bit)
Application: Outlook 2013 (32-Bit)
The user upgraded from Outlook 2010 a few months ago and the error message has only recently started appearing on startup. I thought it was a corrupt mail profile, so I have already tried creating a new mail profile, as well as the repairing tool in Outlook.
I even tested another email account and that worked just fine. So apparently it is something wrong with the specific user's account/profile and not something wrong with the computer - since my email account worked fine on his computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same error message, only in my situation Outlook would only open successfully every 4 or 5 attempts. When Outlook would open (versus just hanging at the splash screen), I would get two dialog boxes with the warning/error message.
After I clicked okay I could get into Outlook.
Previously I experienced this problem running my Office 2010 client with my Exchange 2007 mailbox on my old laptop. The problem followed my mailbox through an Exchange 2010 migration (so new Exchange org), client upgrade to Outlook 2013, and a new
laptop (so I knew it wasn't a corrupt profile). This led me to the conclusion that it was a corrupt item(s) in my mailbox.
To resolve the issue, I archived *everything* in my mailbox to a PST file, ran SCANPST to fix the corruption, and then uploaded everything back into my Exchange mailbox one folder at a time, stopping after each folder to close and restart Outlook so I could
narrow down which folder had the corrupt item if the problem recurred. I'm happy to say my issue is now resolved.

Hi Alan,
I am sorry for the issue you are experiencing right now.
On Tuesday, August 5, 2013 at approximately 12:45 PM UTC, we receive a report that some of the users were unable to authenticate to the Exchange Online service when using the Outlook client. However, the issue has been restored.
Since you are still having the issue, please follow the steps below to do the confirmation.
1. Please make sure that all Outlook security patches and updates are installed on the affected computer. To check for the latest Outlook updates, please click on the link below.
2. To make sure whether the issue is related to the Outlook client or the service, please try configuring the test account I send you through private message on the affected computer to check whether the issue exists. To check the private message, please follow
the steps.
a. Please go to Your details section on the right side of the community site.
b. Click Private messages.
c. Click the subject title of the responses to read the message.
Please provide feedback, then we can move forward to check where exactly to look into the issue.
At last, I would like to confirm whether your organization only have Exchange Online or have hybrid environment.
Thanks,
Yang Yu
I noticed something a bit strange that SMTP is automatically put in front of the mailbox name.. i haven't seen that before
Went to windows update and there is nothing to install
it's interesting you say the 5th because that is exactly the last day that outlook successfully synced.. it hasn't worked since.. This is happening on 2 seperate computers and stopped working at the exact same time.
Hi Alan,
Thanks for the update.
Based on the currently situation, I understand when configuring the test account provided by Yang Yu the issue persists. And you have a number of tablets and they are working fine. Thus the issue could be related to the certain Outlook client on this certain
computer.
Since we focus on Office 365 issues in this forum, I'm so sorry that I’m not able to provide the detailed instructions.
To provide you with a better service, and sort out this issue more effectively, I suggest you post this issue in the following Outlook forum. The engineers there will help you get the issue fixed in a timelier manner.
Outlook forum:
At the same time, I will also continue doing some further tests and research. Thanks for your understanding and great efforts.
Any community members with related experience on this issue who could share it here are also appreciated.
Regards,
Xinyu

Hi Alan,
According to your description, the Outlook settings seems to be correct in your local machine. And some solutions have been tried to solve this issue:
Create a new Outlook profile, start Outlook in safe mode, clean credentials cache in computer ect.
But the issue persists. Please consider to configure your account on a computer which is working file with your colleague's Office 365 account to check whether the issue continues. If the issue only happens to your account, please access the mailbox in Webmail
and change the password to have a try.

Error opening Outlook 2010 Contact Group

Hi all,
We are currently in transition between Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2010.
We have recently migrated a user over from 2003 to 2010, but one of his Contact Groups will now not open. The error displayed is "Cannot open this item. There is not enough memory available on Microsoft Exchange to perform the operation. Contact your system
administrator"
The user would have created this distribution list in Exchange 2003 OWA.
I have read on other forums that the distribution group is too large and to reduce the number of contacts. I can see in Outlook that the offending Contact list is 32kb in size. However, when I try to export to a .csv file it hangs Outlook and complains about
a lack of resources.
Is there any way that I can view this Contact Group's members (on the Exchange Server) or is the data lost / corrupt and the only solution would be to re-create the group?

Hello,
The contact groups are store on the user’s mailbox on Exchange. Since other contact groups and contacts can be opened just fine, it seems the issue
may occur if the problematic contact groups is corrupted itself.
You can take a chance to open it via MFCMAPI tool. If it even cannot be open, I think it cannot be recovered unless we do a single mailbox recovery.
