Microsoft Office Outlook update takes almost an hour, Microsoft Office Outlook update takes almost an hour

When I shut down my mac cmpletely, next day when I turn it on and try to open Microsoft Outlook for Mac, it takes like an hour just updating ID and updating messages. Why is this happening?
Thanks,
JC

It's a Microsoft product!
If you would care to tell us what Mac you have and what version of OS X we might be able to narrow it down a bit more.

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:

I recently purchased an apple mac, installed office microsoft mac 2011, went to open microsoft outlook and it states that i have to update my purchase to have access to microsoft office

I recently purchased an Apple Mac Retina installed Office Microsoft:mac 2011 but will not let me open microsoft outlook - message is that I have to upgrade Office Microsoft:mac 2011. I only purchased this on the weekend!!!

Does the message say "update" (as in your title) or "upgrade" (as in your text)? Can you give us the exact wording (or a screen shot)?

HT2404 How long should it take to download combo 10.7.4 OS to my pro book.I bought it a year ago and it has Lion. It has. Been downloading for almost 12 hours and is only about half done. I am also downloading an iTunes update. I am using wifi.

Trying to download OSX Lion combo plus iTunes update.taking 11 hours so ar.i am using wifi and am also plugged in to a power source.My Probook is a year old and has Lion.

What happens is that the weaker the battery, the less time it takes it to charge (and run down) because it doesn't take long to reach its lowered maximum capacity.
Although I never worry about my battery and leave my portables plugged in most of the time, that isn't necessarily the best thing for the battery.

TS1638 When syncing calendar on iPhone with Microsoft Office whole day appointments get moved to double day. I am aware this may be caused by conflicts in clock, viz daylight saving time. However, Outlook seems OK and takes time from Windows time and zone

When syncing my iPhone to Microsoft Outloook all the full day appointments become two day - 2300hrs to 2300hrs next day. Sometimes this will include a nuber of a single day of 23 hours. Looked at solutions and all point to a clock issue or a daylight saving and winter times. Outlook operating time is directly from the Windows clock that incudes the change of times for daylight saving etc. It is set for UTC Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisban, London with daylight saving included in the options. I can't see what I can do.

Since updating Firefox what use to take me 30 minutes to do now takes almost 2 hours to do, it is slow and sluggish, what can I do to speed things up?

Had no problem with Firefox, when I upgraded to Firefox4, things started to be extremely sluggish and slow. Tried to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, however, that really messed things up, could not start computer. After finally getting it to work again, things just work so slow and sluggish. What can I do to get it working as it did before?

You can upgrade your iMac's memory to as much as 6 GB. I recommend you get all you can afford. The 1 GB you have is not an abundant amount.
Purchase memory from Crucial or OWC / MacSales. Memory from other sources has been known to be unreliable. Installing it yourself is simple.
I want to add an external hard drive to save my work, and plan to use Time Machine; I do have Firewire. However since my system is a 10.5.8, will everything still work after I upgrade the operating systems, and is there a best way to do that? I want to start with the right external hard drive.
That's a good idea. All you need to do to make Time Machine work is to purchase an external hard disk drive and plug it in. Time Machine pretty much does the rest.
FireWire is preferable but USB is OK. Find an external hard disk of at least twice the capacity as your existing internal hard disk. OWC sells a large variety of external HDs.
Memory at 10 items 165.97GB available. What does this mean?
That is not memory, it is the amount of available storage remaining on your iMac's hard disk. 166 GB is a lot.

DESPERATE FOR HELP since downloading a separate outlook (from fast hosts) as addition to office mac 11 I can no longer access any Microsoft aps or documents including outlook - error messages 'can not change to identity for outlook'

I had office 2011 installed on my computer without outlook - been working fine.
I was given a trial of outlook decided against it at time due to cost - however my server provider fasthost have been offering outlook for free with a busines mail package. Trying to install it wouldn't due to the trail versions - so they gave me a step by step guide to remove outlook files.
Once i completed this the new outlook worked fine for 24 hours - however then we noticed all of our office programmes had been removed aka can not access any data and we are a management consultancy. Then fasthost recommended we reinstall out orginal office CD which I did and then all of sudden when download was completed everything now is inaccessable.
When I open outlook the message relays ' can not change to that idenity' I have tried to set up a new idenity and change permissions and even rebuilding it as per on line guides but when rebuilding it fails at the first step
Rest of office IE WORD, EXCEL I just get microsforft has encountered a problem and needs to close unexpectidly everytime I try and click into it.
I am now despirate as this is the second day we have had no access to anything and 6 day we have had no access to our documents \
FASTSHOST do everything via email and no incoming phone line (which they will give anyway) so I really need help
Any options advice greatly recieved
I am also using the most recent software and have been doing regular software updates OS X Lion.

I, too am wondering if it's the download site. I am not aware of any way to download Outlook Mac 2011 alone from any site including Microsoft's.
It is common for unscrupulous sites to offer desirable but pirated software for a modest price, but serve it up with a dose malware. They get you money, possible a credit card number, your e-mail, your IP address, and all you get is pain.
There was an "Outlook Express" for Mac that was freely distrubuted but I'll pretty sure that it never ran natively under OSX. The first OSX native version fo Office:Mac was Office X, and it introduced Entourage as the Mac mail client.
IF Fast Hosts is your ISP, I'd certainly talk to them to figure out what you downloaded.

IPhone4 syncing with MacPro microsoft Office mac 2011 Outlook

I'm unable to get my new i Phone 4 to sync with my Mac Book Pro using "Microsoft Office Mac 2011", "Outlook" for my email, calendar, contacts & tasks. Can someone help me?

I am having the same issues as you are and I spent about an hour on the phone with Microsoft Office yesterday and they told me that they are still working on a program to resolve this issue. It would have been nice if Apple did not authorize this product until all features where available.
I have many entries in my outlook calendar to transfer it all to ical, as well, i run a business so i do not want meeting invites coming from my mobile.me account - does not look professional. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue until Microsoft comes out with an update for calendars?

"Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The information store could not be opened." [Office 2013/Office 365]

So here is the error in Outook 2013
"Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.
The information store could not be opened."
Very Very frustrating having spent three hours today reading forums, installing, reinstalling etc.
HELP?
1) I have completely un-installed and reinstalled Outlook 2013 (And also all of Office 2013)
2) Have blown away all profiles and created new ones.
3) Have blown away all Outook data files and starting from scratch
4) Have run /resetnavpane............in an attempt to rebuild the navigation pane
5) Have gone into Registry and deleted all remnants of previous Outlook installs, HKey_Local, System Current
config......Office etc.
6) I have spent hours reading online fixes/technet forums etc..............to no avail.
Please give more suggestions.
Thanks

Hi,
Basically you have tried a lot but the issue still exists, now one more suggestion I can provide is to make sure Outlook is not configured to run in Compatibility Mode:
Take Windows 7 for example, in Start -> Type "Outlook" in the search box -> Right click on the "Outlook 2013" shortcut -> Click Properties -> Under Compatibility tab -> Make sure "Run this program in compatibility
mode for" is clear.
This method has resolved the issue for some users in this thread below:

It's recommended to download and install

Hi Raghavendar,
Generally, when you install Lync 2013 in the computer with Office 2010, a Lync Meeting Add-in will be installed and enabled in Outlook 2010. Please follow these steps to check it:
1. In Outlook, click the File tab, click Options, and then click
Add-Ins.
2. Please take one of the following actions:
If the add-in is in the Inactive Application Add-ins list, follow these steps:
a. In the Manage drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, click
COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
b. Click to select the check box next to the add-in, and then click OK.
The New Online Meeting button should now be available in
Calendar View, and the Online Meeting button should be available when you create a new calendar item.
If the add-in is in the Disabled Application add-ins list, follow these steps:
a. In the Manage drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, click
Disabled Items, and then click Go.
b. Select the add-in, and then click Enable.
c. Restart Outlook, and then verify that the add-in is displayed in the
Add-ins dialog box.
The New Online Meeting button should now be available in
Calendar View, and the Online Meeting button should now be available when you create a new calendar item.
3. In Event Viewer, view the Application log to see whether an error was logged for Outlook, for Lync 2013, the Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013.

Can't move "completed" items into folders using Outlook 2013 on a Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium Account using a work Exchange 2010 address

I've been in touch with several Microsoft support teams about this issue, and the latest move was to shove me off onto Pro support, but since I'm using a personal Office account, I'm hoping that through the community I can find a way to resolve this issue without
escalating through our IT department. I do not think this is an Exchange issues because I have previously used this product and method without resulting in this error on a Windows 7 32-bit AMD computer and a Windows 8 and 8.1 Professional 64-bit Intel computer.
Here's my current specs:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, service pack 1
AMD A6-5400 3.6 GHz
8GB RAM
Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium
Office updates automatically, version 15.0.4551.1512
About Outlook shows "Microsoft Outlook 2013 (15.0.4551.1511) MSA (15.0.4551.1508) 32-bit/Part of Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium"
Here's how to reproduce the issue:
1) Open View Settings
2) Select "Other Settings..."
3) Disable "Use compact layout in widths smaller than XX characters" and enable "Always use single-line layout"
4) Select "Columns..."
5) Under "All Mail fields" add "In folder"
6) Select any email
7) Context-menu -> Find Related -> Emails in this Conversation
8) Select "more"
9) Sort by folder
10) Select all messages from Inbox.
11) Use Outlook's preset "Done" function and select a destination folder
12) Watch Outlook fail to run "Done" and reset your UI without producing an error.
The first attempt to resolve this issue was to set up a new Outlook profile. This seemed to exacerbate the problem and resulted in Outlook providing an "Unknown error" before resetting the UI.
The second attempt to resolve this issue was to run "outlook.exe /resetnavpane". However, the nav pane does not appear immediately relevant to this issue.
The following similar steps also result in a crash, this time with an error:
11) Flag all select message as Complete.
12) Move all messages from Inbox to a destination folder.
This change in procedure results in the error "Cannot move the items. Some items cannot be moved. They were either already moved or deleted, or access was denied."
Help me, Microsoft Community. You're my only hope.

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.

Microsoft Office 2013 Outlook errors due to it wants to connect to MS exchange

Every time I try to load Outlook 2013 it gives me an error: The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action and when I click on it, it keeps going in a loop. What to do to correct it will
not launch without exchange server and I have it. Any suggestions? And I download MS Exchange 2010 SP1x64 still nothing

Same issue here. I have the Surface Pro and only one Outlook Exchange Server account will connect. They other one gives the same Microsoft Exchange is unavailable error. The funny part is that these are both work email accounts that connect
to the same server, but one works and the other does not. I can ping the server no problem.
I have spent probably a total of 15 hours on the phone with Microsoft Office CS. There's 15 hours I will never get back. To say they were useless would be an understatement. Half the time they just took down the issues and then said I had
reached the wrong department and transferred me. I got transferred 11 times on one phone call. No one even tried to help.
So unless Microsoft can come up with a solution to this I am taking the Surface Pro back. This is really disappointing. I was really hoping that Microsoft could be an alternative the Apple Universe. Seems like they chose gimickery over
functionality. Windows 8 looks pretty and does some neat stuff, but sending and receiving emails is the most basic of the basics you expect from your PC.
If anyone has a solution from Microsoft please post it here.

Microsoft Exchange is not updating local Outlook - Send and Receive issues.

Hi everyone,
Our office has just moved to using Office 365 business edition where we are sending and receiving emails via Microsoft Online Exchange.
It has been running for 3 days so far and we do love the product however we are having a major issue at the moment and that is our local outlook 2010 and 2013 folders are not constantly synching with the exchange. We are finding that it can be hours
before emails push through to our inbox and we will receive 20 emails all at once. It is also occuring when we send emails, they will sit in the Outbox and the only way it seems to get them to send or receive is to close Outlook and re-open the program.
We also find that sometimes when we are out of the office and using the 'Outlook Web App' that emails we send to clients via here and not always synching with the local Outlook its a bit of a mess really. This is not great as we are a legal office
and need to attend to emails urgently at times and must have all emails arrive locally.
Can anyone shed some light on how this matter can be fixed urgently?
Thanks
Lisa

Hi,
As far as I know, for the sync issue in the on-premise Exchange server environment, we can check if we have selected the option ”send immediately when connected”:
Outlook 2013: file>options>advanced> send and receive> send immediately when connected
However, since your server is Exchange online, I recommend you ask for more professional help on our Exchange online forum:

Office 2013 (Word, Outlook, Excel, Power point) are not responding after live update

I had problems all last week with my Office applications not responding. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the software which did not solve the problem. I then did a samsung 5 recovery to factory state and installed office all over again which temporally
worked. My computer then prompted a windows live update after which the same problem came back with windows application not responding.
Please help as this is holding up my work.

Hi,
Please check your update patch list, if you had installed the Office 2013 SP1. please try to update the display card dirve. See the below thread:
