How do I sync Office 2011 for Mac with Contacts under Mountain Lion?

How do I sync Office 2011 for Mac (Outlook) contacts with Contacts under Mountain Lion (or iOS6)? Outlook doesn't seem to have moved on from iSync, and meddling seems to produce unpredictable results.

You can't. Microsoft have not added support for the industry standard sync protocols iCloud uses.

Problems with Office 2011 for mac after upgrading to Mountain Lion

Office 2011 for mac worked fine with Lion on my MacBook Air. I had been having some problems with my computer freezing and crashing, so the folks at the Genius Bar wiped my computer clean and installed Mountain Lion for me.
I have full backups (Time Machine) from before the wipe on my external hard drive, but I was told not to restore from the backup, that I should drag and drop files instead. I was also told to re-install any program for which I had the disk. I reinstalled Office 2011 via the disk.
Two major problems followed:
1.     I lost all my old emails (I use Mail). Even rebuilding the library or trying to restore them from Time Machine don't get them back.
2.     Word and Excel don't seem to recognize me anymore. I can pull up and modify an old document or workbook, but I cannot "save" my changes. I have to hit "save as." That's a pain, but there's a worse problem.
I have no trouble saving these "save as" versions to my desktop or to my Documents file. But I cannot save them anywhere else — even to the folder where I found the original document. I get a message that I don't have the necessary permissions to access or modify the folders. I'm asked to authenticate, and I do, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
I tried Get Info on the workbooks and documents, and I'm clearly granted Read and Write permission.
I've done a permissions repair via Disk Utility. There were some things to repair, but it didn't solve my problem.
I know I can move all documents to an external hard drive and then recreate all the folders, saving all the documents and workbooks "as" but it seems a huge amount of work. Can anybody suggest an easier route or how to get my email history?

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) 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.

Unable to Sync Outlook Contacts of Office 2011 for Mac with iPhone 5

I have been struggling to sync my Outlook 2011 for Mac with my iPhone 5 via iTunes. Apple support says it is not possible. All thier stores say you can use Office on Mac Machines but no one says that you cannot sync contacts with iPhone. Why in the world Apple does not allow to sync contact from Outlook to iPhone? The apple support say that in the earlier version of iTune it was possible but in the current version it is not possible. Has some genius found a way to sync the Outlook 2011 contacts with iPhone using iTune or any other external software? I will be grateful for any help in the matter.

The comment from Apple support was partially true. If you search the web you will find that Office 2011 (latest Mac version of Office) has never been able to sync with an iPhone. Older versions (maybe), and Windows versions possibly, but not the latest Mac version. MS changed the format of just about everything in Outlook 2011. It was MS that broke the iTunes ability to sync, not Apple.
So, even though Office 2011 works just fine on a Mac, you loose the ability to sync with your iPhone. Thank the folks in Redmond for this.

Duplications when syncing Entourage (Office 2011 for Mac) with my iPhone 3GS

I have a MacBook, and I'm using Snow Leopard. I have MS Office for Mac 2011. In syncing Entourage with my iPhone, I get many duplications on the Entourage calendar. When I was looking at the sync page in iTunes, under "sync iCal calendars," and then "selected calendars," Entourage is listed twice. I've tried just checking one of the Entourage entries, and they both become checked again.
My question is twofold:
a) Is the double listing and checking of Entourage part of the problem?
b) How can I edit the list of calendars?
Thanks.

Problems syncing iPod Touch (2nd generation) with iMac under Mountain Lion

When syncing my iPod Touch (2nd generation) with my iMac (under Mountain Lion) the entries in my diaries/agendas do not sync. Apps and music sync without a problem. What must I do?

I have this problem.. and after spending time at the Genius Bar yesterday, I discovered that my old ipod touch is obsolete..( the Ipod touch is a 32.bit system, while the newer operating system is 64... so they're simply not compatible.)
I expressed great dismay that my perfectly good ipod touch was now obsolete... then the genius suggested I export my contacts and calendars to Google..
That was easy to do, and then, on the Google community forum i learned about nuevasync.com, which lets you synch all of this back to your ipod touch via Exchange.
WOrked like a charm.
Nuevasync. com is free for an initial trial (10 days?) and then costs only 15$ per YEAR.. so I'll use this as a good work-around

So when I installed the most recent updates for microsoft office 2011 for mac, my ical info disappeared. Still have the info on my Office calendar but it's no longer on ical. It's also been removed from my phone. How can I get outlook to sync with ical

When I installed the recent updates for Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, my iCal calendar was wiped out, as was the calendar on my iPhone. I'd rather use iCal than Office and was attempting to phase Office out altogether. Now, all of my information is on the Office calendar but not iCal. The iCloud version of my iCal calendar is not up to date. In any event, I couldn't figure out how to send that info to the iCal on my mac or my phone. How can I sync my Office calendar info to iCal? If that's not possible, how can I get my Office calendar to sync with my iPhone? All of my sync services are set up in iTunes and on my phone. This happened to me once before and I spent hours on the phone with Apple and on the web trying to work it out. I NEED MY CALENDAR!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

As that's not an Apple product, you may get more help by using Microsoft's Office for Mac forums:
Office for Mac forums
The other concern I have is that Office 2011 requires an Intel-based Mac and you posted in the older iMac (pre-Intel or "PPC") forums. If you have an Intel-based iMac (Apple menu > About this Mac..." will say "Intel" if you do) then I think you'll get faster and more accurate ansers to other questiosn in the Apple forums for newer iMacs here:

How do i sync calendar form outlook 2011 for MAC with my nokia lumia 1020?

How do I sync the calendar info etc from outlook 2011 for MAC with my nokia lumia 1020 - I assume there's a way through outlook.com but I can't find the answer anywhere. Thank you!

So you are using an Outlook.com account?
Please take a look at this article and see if it is helpful to you:

When you set up an account from Outlook or Windows Live, the calendar associated with that account will be synced to your phone and will automatically stay in sync.

Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so. I have closed all applications. Can anyone help? Many thanks

Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 (14.2.0) on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so. I have closed all applications. Can anyone help? Many thanks

Thanks Kurt! I had tried all that and had tried closing both programmes from the application monitor, but SyncServices Agent refused to close. I tried closing Launchd which is their mother application, but that just caused the screen go go blank. In the end the two programmes let themselves be closed next time I tried the installation process so all was well. Thanks for your help!

You must be using an update CD. You need the software that has the full version first - install that, then you can use the update one if needed. I know, cuz I made the same mistake - lol

I am using Microsoft office 2011 for mac, publisher is not included, meanwhile I have publisher files saved from windows, is there any recommended software I can install on the mac so that I can open the files?

How can I be able to use my Windows publisher files on my Mac computer, since Microsoft office 2011 for Mac doesn't have Publisher? What's most recommended software to use for this purpose?

Just an FYI here Allan, and clinton.
Version 4.0 or newer of Libre Office can open and edit Publisher files, this is fairly new, you may not have noticed it yet,
I tested it last week for another OP, it works very well, so finally there is a Mac application that can replace Publisher.
Here's a link to the post.
VikingOSX deserves the credit for finding it.

While trying to save a word document (Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac) in PDF, there is a section of the header or footer which is always missing!! Could anyone please tell me hot to fix this problem!!??? It works perfectly fine on my friends Mac!!

Easiest way with Acrobat pro, is save the Word document, then convert the document to PDF with Acrobat, rather than doing a "save as" in Word itself to PDF.
Do you have Acrobat full version or Pro?

What is the easiest method to convert your Outlook Mail from MS Office 2011 for mac, into Apple Mail?

What is the easiest method to convert your Outlook Mail from MS Office 2011 for Mac, into Apple Mail?

As best I can see from googling it, there is NO easy direct way with Apple's builtin tools. If you Google it you will find that many software companies are selling Apps specifically designed for this purpose. Good luck.
Hope this helps
