Entourage

Every 15 minutes or so a window pops up asking if I want to stay connected or do I want to connect, stopping all other activity. This has to be simple, but HOW DO I TURN IT OFF?
Thanks

This has nothing to do with Entourage.

  • Multiple Hard Drive Failures on my Macbook Pro - Entourage reminders?

    Over the past 2 months I've had three hard drives fail on three different macbook pro computers.
    I've retraced my steps, searched many forums, and spoken with multiple Mac Geniuses but still can't figure out what's happening. The IT guy at work is about to kill me and I really want to figure out what's going wrong so I can fix it (or change my current behaviors).
    Computer #1 - Out of the box, 2-3 weeks old. I took the computer home to do some work over the weekend. I didn't turn the it off before transporting it, but I did wait for it to go to sleep completely (I've since read that it takes a few moments while things in RAM switch over to the Hard Drive to save incase of power failure). I worked on it a bit at home, mostly just internet searches and a few word documents. When I returned to work my computer was running slowly and suddenly all of the programs locked. Since I've had this problem before with my personal computer (a G4 Powerbook), I tried the force quit options to no avail so I just held down the power key to power off. When I rebooted I got the dreaded "no" symbol.
    Computer 2: IT gave me a used macbook pro that they repurposed for me. I made sure to shut down before transporting this computer. A few days later, before I even got to transfer all of my files, the computer started running slowly, programs locked. I eventually got the computer to shut itself down (as IT didn't want me to do a forced reboot) but upon restarting I got an even more dreaded screen, the folder with a question mark in it.
    Computer 3: It was a fairly new computer, though a bit more ram, and probably only a few months old (used by a freelancer). It worked great. I took it home several times, transfered all of my files. Set up everything perfectly. Three weeks in, after working at my desk for about 4 hours, everything began to slow down. I called IT immediately and remotely sent a force shut down message. Nothing happened for about 15 minutes so I left for a meeting. I came back a few hours later and my computer was off. When it restarted, nothing appeared. There wasn't a "no" symbol or folder with a question mark in it, just a blank screen.
    I've read and thought about all of the options.
    - Large Magnet somewhere - It would have affected my personal computer (if at home) or my colleagues (if at work) or everyone else in nyc (while on the subway)
    - Too hot - Possible I suppose, but how does running iTunes, powerpoint, and entourage do this?
    - Downloaded something/Virus - We don't have administrative privileges. I can only update some software and send/receive folders. Plus, can any single file cause this much damage?
    - Moved before asleep - This might have happened on the first computer, but I doubt it could happen to three. I always shut it down now before transporting, and I was sitting at my desk for hours before I had any trouble last time.
    The one common factor that I haven't mentioned.
    We use Entourage as a mail client here.
    Each time the computer froze, the first things to freeze were the Entourage calendar reminders. Entourage seems to run strangely with the airport, but not with our LAN. When my computer froze last time, I had the aiport on but was working off the LAN. Could Entourage cause this much trouble? Has anyone else had trouble with entourage calendar reminders or failing hard drives?
    Oh, and it also always happens on a Monday. I've taken the computers home multiple times though, so I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing during the transport or not, but the computer is always off now when I move it. I also cary my personal computer with me often, same routes and bags, so I'm not sure why it's not affected.
    Thanks

    How crap is that?
    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.

  • Share my Entourage calender on one computer with users/login accts ???

    Hi, I've been searching the forums, and only see answers on this topic for people on work networks/exchange. My issue is for a single home iMac with three users with separate login accts.
    My problem is that I have a new iMac and I got office2004 and I would like all the members of my family to use this computer and share the "ENTOURAGE CALENDER" so we can all see who is doing/going what and when.
    I can't seem to figure this out and I need some help!!!! Can anyone explain how I can achieve this simply to me?
    I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks,

    There is no way to do that without a server being involved. I would recommend using Google Calendar to achieve something similar.

  • Have apple tried to make the syncing of 2 iphone on 1 imac as difficult as possible? My nokia is a doddle. I cant back up my wifes 3gs without entourage. I iponed up a seperte log in on my imace and it still says my wifes is prev synced with another itunr

    By the looks of it I'm having the same problem as lots of people. Apple seem to have made the system of syncing and backing  up 2 iphones as difficult as possible. I have just bought an iphone4 and synced it to my imac. I now have my wife's apps and content. Now when it try to back up my wife's phone using a seperate log in on my imac and a new itunes install I'm asked " do you want to sync and erase all of the details on my wifes phone or do I want to erase and sync and loose all her data. No option not to!!!!   I thought it was maybe the inset of dementure but lots of people are having the same problem. How hard can it be to back up one phone at a time and only that phone?  Backing up my Nokia was a doddle!   I thought Apple were well know for. making things easy?  I have also tried backing up my wife's to a seperate itunes but you cant export her contacts etc unless I have office and entourage which I don't. I cant back up her phone as it is with all it content and apps and start from scratch as I get only the sync and erase and destroy option.  AAAGGGHHH

    1) authorize iTunes on your wife's user account for her iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect the device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred her purchases in the previous step, your content will be in her library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

  • Hello, I have a G5 PPC. I want to install a copy of Entourage on the second hard drive. Can I do that or will it create problems for the processor?

    Hi everyone
    I had a very old intel iMac from late 2006 which was dying now dead. I just managed to copy the Entourage folder onto an external hard drive before the iMac gave up the ghost. But I could not open the Entourage copy on the G5 PPC. each time i tried to do so the PPC copy of Entourage would open instead.I have emails on the PPC copy and do not want to lose them. I was wondering if it would be possible to install another copy of Entourage on the second hard drive? I was hoping that by doing that I could access the information from the iMac which has been copied to an external hard drive.
    Any help would be very very welcome.

    I don't think MS lets you install Entourage outside of an active system folder. However, you can install a fresh copy of Entourage on the G5's hard drive (if you have Office 2008 or lower), then use Entrouge's Import command to move the data files from the old hard drive.
    We're done this several times as we've upgraded either computers or Entourage.
    However, I think that, before you act, you should also ask in Microsoft's user forums here:
    Office for Mac forums
    They are excellent and often an employee of their Macintosh unit will assist in answering.

  • Cannot Send mail from AOL account through Entourage

    I have an AOL e-mail account and use the Entourage application to send and recieve e-mail. As of lately I can only receive mail, but can no longer send mail. I keep getting the error in Entourage "Connection to the server failed or was dropped". I have read every help article out there on this subject and have tried just about everything. Here is how I have Entourage currently set up:
    IMAP server: imap.aol.com
    SMTP server: smtp.aol.com
    *I am using port 587 for the outgoing server and have authenticated it using my account ID and password.
    If anyone else is having this problem or knows how to fix it please help!

    it may be that your server (internet provider) has just started blocking outgoing mails not authenticated by them.
    Go to your account set up...
    and fill in the following details.
    SMTP SERVER: smtp.mac.com
    then click on advanced sending otions...
    click on override default SMTP port... type 587
    click on SMTP servber requires authentication...
    use same setting as receiving mail server.

  • Cannot send mail from mac mail or Entourage

    Hi guys,
    Wondered if anyone out there can shed some light on this little problem.
    I use Entourage for my emails & all was working fine until yesterday. I can receive mail from all and sundry but I can't send anything. I subscribe to ntlworld internet service and if log onto my email through their webmail, then it's fine. I've tried sending mail from mac mail and I get the same problem. I've been onto microsoft support & gone through all the troubleshooting with Entourage. The Entourage techy suggested it was my internet provider blocking my emails as they think I'm a spammer?? I phoned ntl & they insist it's nothing to do with them as I can send/receive from the website. (If I send an email with the address @ntlworld it's fine, but any other address i.e. all my clients/mates etc just stays in my outbox.
    Nothing on any of my settings has changed so I'm at a loss what to do next.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Mel

  • Can't Send email from Mail or Entourage

    I tried posting this last night, but it doesn't seem to be showing up anywhere. Just last week my computer stopped sending mail. I can receive fine, but not send. I have tried in Entourage and in Mail. I'm using a POP account and use a different server for incoming and outcoming.
    It worked fine until last week and the same thing works fine at my work (using the outgoing server from my work and using my home ISP at work) I use my ISP outgoing server at home and have even tried using a trial for MSN, and my work ISP to see if another ISP would do it but it doesn't.
    It comes back in Eudora with an error message: "Mail could not be sent using the account "Brian". A connection error occured. Error -3260. Mail says The message could not be appended to the Outbox.
    I've tried changing from port 25 as well. I also tried setting up a new user account and starting Mail up new and fresh with the same results. My wife sent something at 9:00 and 1 hour later the problem started, so nothing was installed new at that time. Just upgraded to 10.4.4 today to see if it would help.
    iMac Mac OS X (10.4.4)
    iMac Mac OS X (10.4.4)

    I'm not sure how you come to this conclusion. If you
    can send mail with any email account and SMTP server
    when connected to the internet at work but not when
    connected to one of two personal ISPs when connected
    to the internet at home, how can this be a computer
    or Mail.app problem?
    Because I have a different computer at home than the one I have at work. Were you thinking it was the same computer?
    If this is a computer or Mail.app problem, don't you
    think you would also have problems sending mail when
    connected to the internet at work?
    Not if the computer at work isn't broken like I assume the computer at home is.
    Do you have dial-up internet access at home for both
    ISPs?
    Both ISPs are dial-up. One is All2Easy (This is the ISP I used first) and one is MSN. A new development is that I can no longer dial up using All2Easy. I get online using MSN. I can still send mail from work using the outgoing mail server of email.all2easy.net though.

  • Entourage (running under leopard) in microsoft exchange

    Is it possible that entourage in leopard works properly or I need to update to snow leopard. It tooks me one week but I´m not able to do it right.

  • I utilise Entourage for my mails. When I tip a mail adress and write a wrong one, I change. When I will send again a mail to the same adress the wrong and good one appears both.  How can I delete the wrong one

    Question is here above but more details here under
    I use Entourage as Mail sender. I don't use the adress book.
    When I tip a wrong adress  and make the correction, the old one stays in the memory of my computer ( apple I Mac ).
    When I wish to send a new message to the same adress, the wrong one appears in the same time , and some time I don't remember wich is the good one .
    To avoid that problem, how can I delete the wrong adress for future sending of mails.

    Solution, use Apple Mail
    I can highly recommend migrating to the Address Book. You won't have the typo'ed history in your email.

  • Entourage (Exchange) Account Problem - New messages going to wrong Inbox

    In Entourage, there are two sets of Inboxes (folders): one for the Exchange account and the other for "Folders on My Computer"
    We desire new messages to deliver & stay in the Inbox for the Exchange account; however, recently new mail messages are delivered to the Inbox under "Folders on My Computer." How can I change this... manage which Inbox new mail messages go to for the Exchange account?

  • ICal events do not show up on Entourage

    Hello to all and here's tehbackground:
    1. I have a new MacBook Air
    2. I have new updated software (the latest updates)
    3. I have Office 2008 with Entourage (which I want to use as my mail client and calendar app - though am happy to leave iCal on my system as well ... but would likely not use it per se if Entourage worked as I do not like to flip between apps - i.e. Entourage gives me both mail and calendar functions and I was used to that with Outlook on my old PC)
    4. I have a new Mobile Me account
    5. This account seems to sync my calendar between MM and iCal no problem
    6. I enabled sync in Entourage but its calendar seems empty?
    Should I have imported first or somethng? Why is Entourage not synching?
    And another technical question: Does Entourage and iCal sync between themselves directly on the Hard Drive or do they BOTH go up the mobile Me?
    Thanks in advance,
    JM
    Message was edited by: JeanMarc

    OK well that's bizarre.
    I also noted that in Entourage, under Preferences there is a sync option. In that I selected all three as follows:
    1. Synchronize with Address Book and .mac
    2. Synchronize events and tasks with iCal and .mac
    and
    3. Synchronize Entourage Notes with .mac
    Now I assume for some odd reason that despite having the most recent updates, Entourage still refers to .mac as opposed to MobileMe. That's fine I guess. But why just Entourage Notes? Why note the calendar app in Entourage?
    Arghh !!! ...
    Anyone else have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

  • Syncing calendar on Entourage with Macbook pro and itunes prob!

    Hi there,
    I have just spent an hour on the phone to apple then to Microsoft and neither solved my problem.
    I have Entourage on my mac and have an IMAP account that is synced to my iphone 4. For some reason, I cannot sync my calendar on Entourage to my calendar on my iphone. When I create an event on my phone, it doesn't show in Entourage and vice versa. I've tried everything, deleting my sync history, clicking and unclicking the sync buttons in Entourage - still doesn't work. Also, when I deleted my sync history, my mail account disappeared from itunes when I sync my iphone. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • I am running OS X10.4.11 Recently I have been having trouble opening entourage, word, safari, excel, etc on a cold start  It has been taking 3 attempts  each time getting a message that the program quit unexpectedly.  Seems like a virus.  What can I do?

    1st attempt to open an application after the computer has been shut down a message says(as an example)" the application PowerPoint quit unexpectedly.  Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.  Click reopen to see more details or send a report to Apple."  Next attempt it says "The application PowerPoint quit unexpectedly after it was reopened.  Mac Os X and other applications are not affected.  Click Try Again to temporarily restore the application's default settings and open it again.  Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple."  When I click "Try Again"  the app opens normally and usually runs ok  sometimes it will quit unexpectedly but when reopening at that point it opens ok.  Never had this issue until about 2 weeks ago.  ***  When I close the program myself I get a message that says "PowerPoint-New Settings
    New settings have been created for this application.  Do you want to use these settings from now on?  Then there  are  2 buttons below the dialogue box that say "Use new settings and Use original settings"  This happens every time I try to open Power Point, Excel, Safari, Entourage the first time each new day.  If I have been running any of those programs and have not shut down the laptop then the program will reopen normally but may shut down unexpectedly on its own  and sometimes not. What changed and how do I fix this problem?  Running OS X10.4.11 and software updates are current.  Ran diagnostics and checked out ok.

    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

  • Outlook emails at work - transferring to mac Entourage or Mail or anything at home !

    Hi,
    I use PC Outlook at work.  I have loads of personal emails but work does not allow me to use the "export" function to export any emails from my work system, even if personal (ugh).  So I cannot export my emails or folders as a .pst file (or anything else).
    What I am able to do is copy and paste individual Outlook emails on to my personal hard drive, as a .msg file. 
    Is there a good way I can transfer these .msg files on my hard drive into a readable format on my Mac at home (e.g. I have Entourage or Mail or Yahoo or Gmail)? 
    I know I will have lost the date/time stamp/ordering system, but I would be happy just to be able to access the email text and attachments (even if not ordered by date/time).  Is this possible?
    Apologies if this has been discussed to death on these forums.  I have tried searching the forums but most of the previous discussions seem to presume you can export the files from work, rather than the messy cut and paste of .msg files.
    Thank you.

    Oh !  I have now found a discussion thread which recommended this, which looks like a solution: http://www.element26.net/products/shop/outlook-msg-viewer/  .  This forum is great !
    But if anyone has a better solution (i.e. a free solution ! ) or a better tip of transferring Outlook emails (without using the "export" function, as it is disabled at work), then I'd be grateful.
    Thanks.

  • Migrating to new macbook air with Lion, entourage 2008 doesn't work

    I  bought a new macbook air with lion installed. trying to migrate data from my old macbook with snow leopard. Got most data across, and installed my most frequently used applications:
    - office 2008: most office apps 2008 work, if buggily. entourage not, see below.
    - firefox (hangs up when downloading updates)
    - dropbox (ditto)
    <these two problems may have something to do with internet proxy settings, will try to sort that out later>
    MAIN ISSUE:
    entourage wont open at all.  so for now i'm using my old comp for e-mail and the new for the rest.
    MY OPTIONS:
    please advise (1) what you think is the most time & nerve-saving option (2) how to do it smoothly:
    A) try to get office 2008 to work.
    when trying to open entourage, it tells me this version (office 2008 12.0) cannot open this entourage database (12.3)
    error for other apps says there is a problem with database, and rebuilding several times did not fix it.
    would have to start with updating to the version i used last (office 2008 12.3). Problem is the ms office updater does not seem to work on lion. the first update does not open, says it does not support powermac.
    B) buying office 2011, and migrating entourage 2008 to outlook.
    I suppose the best way to do this is to install office 2011 on the old mac first, then on the new one, then move database, right?
    C) migrating from entourage 2008 to lion mail.
    best way to do this would be to import entourage email to leopard mail, then move those files to the new mac?  and move entourage addresses into the mac addressbook. my major concern is that i have a lot of mailing rules, and a fair bunch of notes. a lot. i;d rather not have to recreate those by hand. Is there a way to import rules from entourage to mail?
    i also habe a huge backstock of mail, over 10,000, and a correspondigly huge addressbook (within entourage). i'm ready to abandon entourage at last (though i used it for a decade), but i want to have my addresses, my rules, and at least the last 3 yrs of emails. i get about 130 mails a day so i need plenty of automatic organizing capability.
    i never had issues  my old mac/snow leopard, i just ran out of ram and the one usb broke, so i figured it's time. kinda sorry i did not just get the usb repaired and extra ram. what a hassle these migrations always are.
    cheers!

    Yes, repairing first is a sound idea. In my experience I've only moved from Entourage to the OS X applications or from one version of Entourage to another. In the latter I've been able to just copy over the Microsoft User Data folder. But I have not used Entourage for quite some time.
    Microsoft don't make it quite that easy to migrate to their own applications, but the import from a 'tidy' .rge file works well, I had a lot of issues with the first few I migrated but after performing a database repair prior to import all proceeded smoothly.
