  • Lost my Outlook for Mac 2011 and all emails, calendar, etc. after moving and trashing some files

    I followed some suggestions for improving speed and ran the EtreCheck and removed some items.  I didn't touch anything Microsoft or Outlook related. My mac got hung-up last night when I was trying to put it to sleep so I had to force quit some programs, one of which was Outlook, and then I shut down the mac rather than sleep mode. This morning I no longer had any of my emails, or my calendar, or excel files, etc.  I couldn't get any new emails because it said the server did not recognize or acknowledge my user accounts or passwords.  I went to the ISP's website and all my accounts/passwords were correct and active as I was still getting them through my iphone and ipad.  Can anyone help me?  I can provide the latest EtreCheck and system log showing the warnings, failures, errors, etc. if that helps!

    As Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:

  • Create a "Do Not Send" List for Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011

    Hello,
    I've been having a problem creating a "do not send" list for Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011.  Essentially, I am sending out bulk emails and when people want to unsubscribe I have no means to create a list so that no email is ever sent to them again.  Because of the number of emails going out, it would simply take to long to search each excel sheet of emails I have and purge the unsubscribers.
    Is there any way to create a list of emails that outlook will not send to, even if the names or in the excel sheet?
    If it helps, I am using a Microsoft Word document as the basis for my form letter emails, which then pulls the email contacts (hundreds of them) from an excel sheet, which then sends them to my outbox in Outlook.
    Thank you,
    Frank

  • Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 (14.2.3) keeps producing the spinning wheel after implementation of Mountain Lion.

    Since I started using Mountain Lion MS Outlook for Mac 2011 has become very slow, it continues to show the spinning wheel at almost everything I do. It is almost unworkable this way. Does anyone know how to solve this?

    You can try rebuilding your database via the Database Utility. Make sure Outlook isn't holding onto any other databases other than yours. Also, if you're using an Exchange account with Outlook, try and keep your inbox as clean as possible. Microsoft claims that your main boxes (Inbox, Sent, Deleted, Drafts) should be kept as small as possible, and you should use a folder structure outside of these folders if you intend on saving and organizing old emails.
    Is this just an Outlook issue, or are you seeing the speed problem anywhere else?

  • Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 is Crashing w/ OSX 10.9.3

    Hello - I have been using Outlook for MAC 2011 on my MacBook Air (OSX 10.9.3).
    Suddenly today it started crashing the minute I log-in to the application.  Here is the detail of the info I received from the error report:
    Microsoft Error Reporting log version: 2.0
    Error Signature:
    Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS
    Date/Time: 2014-06-03 00:23:42 +0000
    Application Name: Microsoft Outlook
    Application Bundle ID: com.microsoft.Outlook
    Application Signature: OPIM
    Application Version: 14.4.1.140326

    Crashed Module Version: 1077.17

    Crashed thread: 12
    Earlier versions of the above crash report said "Crashed Thread: 9" (instead of 12)....not sure if/how that makes a difference.
    Can you tell from the above what this might be related to, and tell me please how I can get past this?  At this point, everything in my Outlook is completely hidden from my sight (including all of
    my tasks) until I can get back in again.  It's pretty debilitating. :(
    Thank you so much!

    You are far more likely to get a better/faster answer by posing your question in a forum dedicated to Office for Mac (this for is for Windows based Outlook)

  • How do I connect my online outlook account to Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011

    I have been trying to connect them, but it is telling me that my "command is not valid in this state" or my "security settings are not valid"
    I am using POP and I am putting in the following:
    username
    password
    pop.outlook.com
    smtp.outlook.com

    If you are using Outlook that comes with Office 2011 for Mac you should be using  MS Exchange settings not trying to connect using POP
    In Outlook add a new account and just input your [email protected] and the correct password for that account and let Outlook take care of all the other settings. It is a good idea to make sure all of the Office programs are updated to the newest update.

  • I bought Microsoft Office for mac 2011, and I am frustrated because i do not find the way how install it

    I do not how the works but I need help and i would like to know if somebody can help me out

    This forum is for questions about Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Mac systems, and hence not the best place for your question. If you can't figure it out by running the installer or by reading Microsoft's Get Started information:

  • I was looking through itunes help and saw where you could create a new library.  I did so, but cannot find my old one. Where is it? How do I get it back?

    I was looking through itunes Help and asw where you could create a new a new library. I did but cannot see or find my old library.
    All my music is missing. Where is it? How do I get it back?

    Generally your library will be in your music folder in an iTunes folder, more specifically a library.itl file.  If it isn't there then for some reason it has disappeared and can be restored from the backup you make of your computer.

  • What is the best CRM to integrate with Outlook for Mac 2011?

    Hello,
    I am rather new to Mac and need to employ a CRM for a new small business. After reading reviews we deciding on using Salesforce.com, since it is web-based and seemed to be the best option for mac users. However, now that we have subscribed to it we have discovered that it does not integrate with Outlook for Mac 2011.  Even after inquring on third party apps and plug-ins, it does not appear there is a solution.  MailDrop only works with Entourage and MacMail, which we don't use, or want to use.  iHance and Riva seemed liked possible choices, however they do not support Salesforce Group Edition, which is what we have.  Changing our subscription from Group to Professional edition is a huge jump in price per month.  Plus we would most likely need to pay for a monthly app/plug-in fee.
    Bottom line, we want to keep using Outlook for Mac 2011 and use an effective CRM.  Any constructive advice is welcomed:
    Any third party apps, plugins, work arounds that I may not have mentioned?
    Any other suggestions for CRMs that integrate well with Outlook for Mac 2011?
    At it's simpliest level, is there a way to export contacts from Outlook for Mac 2011 into our Salesforce account?  If so, I want to make sure to avoid loading duplicates in the future.
    Thank you.

    Well, "feeling your pain" is almost cliche at this point.  I imagine every MAC deployed business out there is not completely happy with the SalesForce answer.  As a user, the perfect world is to keep using Outlook, have it be a powerful CRM - and not have to leave the MAC OS environment..... 
    I can tell you the direction I am going in, but I don't have any results as yet.  I found a link from a MAC developer that has figured a stable way to do this.  With the use of "Parallels" and "MS Dynamics CRM", there may be light at the end of the tunnel.  Essentially, you can now have a powerful CRM - without having to leave MS Outlook - and still use your MAC.  As I said, I will have to try it myself to comment further, but at least it is one realistic answer to keeping your MAC in the business world.

  • How to sync Address Book TO Outlook for Mac 2011

    I am using the native Address Book from Mac OS 10.7.5 and need to keep using it because it syncs with my iPhone. However, I am using Outlook for Mac 2011 and want the contacts to synch from Mac Address Book to Outlook's contact list.
    Synch services have been turned on in Outlook.
    Originally, I was going to switch to Mac Mail but discovered that importing mail from Outlook is a headache (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664208?start=0&tstart=0). Outlook works well and has for years so rather than going through a bunch of manual drag and dropping of folders to make mbox files, or buying software to do it, I thought getting the contacts to synch would suffice since that's all that's really needed.
    What I discovered is that Outlook will feed new contacts to Mac Address Book when they are generated in Outlook but the Mac Address Book does not feed new contacts to Outlook if they were generated in Address Book. Is this even possible? If so, how?
    Thanks,
    Karen
    I read this previous thread but it talks about contact info going FROM Outlook to Address Book instead of the other way around: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664208?start=30&tstart=0

    I've got Outlook up and running just fine.  Still have the problem with getting duplicate emails but I'm waiting on MS to get a fix for that in an update.  Apparently that has been an ongoing issue.  I've been in contact w/ a senior MS Outlook tech on that.  I guess I'll just have to make sure that all contact adds/edits are done in Outlook.  Then I can sync my phone or iPad and get the cloud to update the other Apple devices off that sync.  Either that or figure out how to export from the Mac address book to the Outlook address book once in a while. 

  • ICloud working with Outlook for Mac 2011

    For work purposes I use a Mac Air, with Outlook for Mac 2011, and my company's email runs on an Outlook server.  I'm not going to have any choice about using Outlook.
    I've set up my home calendar (on iMac) and want to use iCloud to synchronise between my various devices.
    My iPhone can show both my work calendar and my home calendar. But on the Mac where i am running Outlook for Mac i dont seem to be able to add the second calendar.
    Looking at older discussions (2011, 2012) it seems there were ways to use iCloud and synchronise with Outlook on a Windows machine, but not on a Mac using Outlook.  Is that still the case or is there a way I can now do this? 

    Microsoft have still not updated Outlook for Mac to support the cross-platform, industry-standard calendar and contact protocols iCloud (and many other similar services) use.
    You won't be able to use iCloud with Outlook for Mac, except for email.
    Read: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915
    There's nothing to stop you using the Apple calendar and contact apps for your personal iCloud data, and Outlook for your work data though. Or you could just setup your work accounts in the Apple apps, which do support Microsoft Exchange.

  • How to sync Outlook for Mac 2011 calender with iCal

    I am currently running IOS 10.6.8.
    I use Outlook for Mac 2011 and I have been having problems syncing my appointments with iCal.
    I have outlook set up correctly in the preferences to sync all calendars but this does not appear to happen.

    Here's some screen grabs of the settings I use. I do not use the online iCal calendar. My iphone is synced to outlook and the local ical calendar hosted on my laptop.
    I can enter and receive/accept appointments using any of these three calendars and they all update and sync.
    The calendar called "No category" is my outlook calendar.
    If I enter any appointments they have to be entered on the calendar called "work" on my laptop and phone – otherwise outlook does not pick them up.
    As demichae said in his post above "Outlook doesn't see the stuff in iCal" – at least the online iCal stuff.
    It's not very straightforward.
    Hope this helps.
