Microsoft Outlook 2011 Stopped Working

Not sure if this is the right place to be posting this, but I don't know where to post it and really need some help.
Microsoft Outlook 2011 just stopped working, other Office apps run just fine. When clicking Outlook to launch, it bounces 2 - 3 times and just stops launching without an error msg.
I've tried launching it under another user acct and it opens fine.
Tried creating a new Office Identity under the user acct where it doesn't launch, and that didn't fix the problem. Tried rebuilding identity, tried removing preferences from User/Library/Preference/Microsoft.
Any ideas? Thank you!

I got Outlook to launch by completely deleting my "Identity" and creating a new one. Is there any way to get it to actually repair the old Identity or am I now going to lose everything?
Unless you have a backup of the identity you deleted, you've already lost everything. That's where all of your contacts and emails are stored.
If you still have the old identity, put it on the desktop and try doing an import into the new identity you created.
In answer to the general complaints that "it doesn't work":
Any program can have issues from computer to computer. Various things can cause issues that shouldn't, or wouldn't otherwise exist. I'm running the latest version of Office 2011 and have absolutely no issues with it. And haven't from the day it was released.

Microsoft Outlook 2011 Stopped Working (mtn lion)

Like others with earlier versions of OS X, it just stopped. I deleted about 2500 'sent' emails and Outlook was 'permanently' deleting them when it registered an error and shut down Outlook (several times in a row) without having deleted the messages. Now, when I click on the Dock icon, it bounces 2 or 3 times (if I'm lucky), brings up the Outlook banner (showing my name, etc) then goes no further. I have looked at the earlier posts, and sadly, don't understand the posted remedies. Never had an issue like this before - have been runnin Outlook 2011 since 2011, on OS X 10.6, 10.7, and for the past months, 10.8 - and now this.
Have tried reinstalling Outlook, but it still reacts the same way to an attempted start.
I need my 5 years of email history back, so changing settings/identities won't do it.

Your Outlook database is damaged. If possible, revert to a backed up version. You will be missing any emails received or sent since the backup was made. To do that, open your user account and go to the Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/ folder. Replace the Main Identity folder and .plist files from the ones in your backup.
If you have no backup, you need to try and repair the database. Hold down the Option key and launch Outlook. Instead of the email client, you will get the Microsoft Database Utility. If you have only one email account, Main Identity will be the only one listed and highlighted. Click the Rebuild button.
A backup will automatically be created before it attempts a rebuild so you can at least go back to that and try again if it doesn't work. Once the rebuild is done, quit the utility and launch Outlook normally. Examine the rebuilt database closely to make sure important info hasn't been lost.

Hi,
1. The current version of Acrobat 11.0.09, you check your version, go to Help menu --> About Adobe Acrobat
2. Append an email to existing pdf, i assume you mean attaching email as pdf to an existing pdf document.
       For that you can follow steps below:
         a. Convert email as pdf, like you know. Once the email get converted to PDF it has portfolio like structure. So you can click on "Open File" like shown in screen shot attached below.
         b. Then how to attach a file with existing pdf you may check steps mentioned in this link: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7ca6.w .html

Printing from Outlook 2011 stopped working

I am helping a friend who uses Microsoft Office 2011 on an iMac running 10.7.2. He is suddenly unable to print from Outlook. Choosing Print... from the File menu or clicking a print button produces no result at all - the normal print dialogue box does not appear. Previously he could print without a problem. He has no problem printing from Word in Office 2011.
We have updated Office to 14.1.4 through Microsoft Update. We have worked through the advice in the Microsoft support document 2409305 - backing up Outlook identities, and removing Oulook Preferences as advised there. The error remains. We then created a new identity and found we could print from that. So we followed the Microsoft advice to rebuild the Outlook identity database. We still cannot print from Outlook.
Advice greatly appreciated!
Andrew Spackman

Thanks everyone!
The reason we did not import the mail, contacts, etc from the old identity to the new identity, as suggested by Templeton Peck, is that we were following step by step a Microsoft troubleshooting document, in which creating the new identity was a testing step, which was then followed by different advice on what to do depending on the result. Importing the mail etc was not one of the recommendations.
Now that may well be a good move. But while I have been using Macs and email systems since 1985 I don't have any experience of Outlook. (I do have some experience of Entourage - as previously used by another friend - and there rebuilding the database seemed to be a regular activity.)
As there is no Exchange involved in my friend's use of email, I am inclined to take what would be the easiest route for me (and, I hope, entirely satisfactory for my friend!) which is a move to Apple Mail (and iCal and Address Book of course). That's the setup I currently use. Obviously if Exchange were involved I wouldn't let up on the Outlook problem, but it looks as though that would require professional help.
Thnaks again!

Hi,
Please try to open Outlook in safe mode to check if the problem will continue. To do this, exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type:
outlook.exe /safe and press Enter. If the issue would be gone in safe mode, Please disable suspicious add-in in your Outlook to resolve the problem. See:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/enable-or-disable-add-ins-in-office-programs-HA010034127.aspx
We can also try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel to check the result. To do this, please refer:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918
If above didn't fix the problem, please try to run a repair of your Outlook installation and then test the problem again. See:

Outlook 2013 - MS Outlook has stopped working... (sending Email)

Hi everyone, this one is extremely frustrating and hoping you can help.
My colleague has Outlook 2013 running on Win7 Pro. There are two different mail account, both Exchange server.
Everything works fine except Sending mail. Every time we attempt to send an Email Outlook crashes with the following error:
"Microsoft Outlook has stopped working... A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"
I say every time, but it has occasionally sent Email. Never more than once after starting up Outlook and most often, never.
The accounts work for using OWM. The accounts work fine configured identically on a different PC.
Tried Safe Mode. No help
Uninstalled all AV software. No help
Ran Office Repair (both Quick and Full). No help
Short of completely uninstalling Office, re-installing and recreating the profile from scratch (which I would like to avoid) I'm not sure what else to try!
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Hi,
In case there's a corruption in your Outlook Data File, please try to repair the data file(.pst or .ost) and check the result:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227
If you have setup two different Exchange Accounts in one Profile, please try to remove one from the profile, create a new profile to setup the account.

Check if the issue persists with two different Profiles.

My Microsoft Office 2004 stopped working after upgrading to MT. How can I get it to work, or, how can I uninstall MT?

My Microsoft Office 2004 stopped working after upgrading to Mountain Lion. How can I get it to work again, or, how can I uninstall MT?

Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac sync Contacts and Calendar issues

OK, so I have a Macbook Pro with OS X Mountian Lion. I have Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac installed. Asked @BlackberryHelp on Twitter how to sync my Blackberry Torch with Outlook as it seems to default to using the builtin Apple Contacts and Calendar instead of Outlook. So they sent me the link to KB19148: "How to synchronize organizer data in Microsoft Office for Mac between the BlackBerry smartphone and a Mac computer using BlackBerry Desktop Software". So I turned on the Sync Services in Outlook and it gave me the dialog box confirming that everything was synced. And it appeared to copy and sync whatever Contacts in the Apple Contacts and calendar entries in the Apple Calendar into Outlook and vice versa. Cool since that's what I wanted.
Then I tried using the Blackberry Desktop Manager to sync everything to my Blackberry Torch 9810. Everything looked like it synced until I opened my Blackberry and all my Contacts were gone. Same with my Calendar entries, except that the Calender entries were hit and miss to whatever copied over (some Calendar entries were missing and others were duplicates). Checked the Apple Contacts and all of them were gone. But when I opened Outlook, everything was there and all OK.
So am I missing something? Turning on Sync Services in Outlook should sync all my Contacts and Calendar with my Blackberry when I use Blackberry Desktop Manager, correct? So why is it still syncing with the Apple Contacts and Calendar (and why did it delete all my Apple Contacts and mess up my Apple Calendar)?
Good thing I backed everything up first so restored everything. But I have all my updated Contacts and Calendar in Outlook and I still need to sync all of that. I don't want to manually do it. So how do I fix this??

After a bit of googling I think you mean the notation "domain\username", i.e., a backslash separator but no leading backslash.
I am not familiar with that notation but apparently it is valid in some contexts. I googled "os x "domain\username"" to confirm this notation. Here's one of the hits that shows the notation:
OS X Lion: Guidelines for connecting to a DFS namespace via SMB
I think "DFS" is a distributed file system. That's as much as I know about this.

Microsoft Outlook 2011 can't search emails

Since upgrading to Lion, I can't search emails in Microsoft Outlook 2011 (which I also had to upgrade to since Microsoft Office 2004 wasn't compatible with Lion). Is this a software conflict that can be resolved, or a more serious issue?

Outlook 2007 on Win 7 Pro - Outlook has stopped working

I've installed Office 2007 with all the patches including SP3 on a new laptop with all Win 7 patches
I've had repeated problems with the Outlook has stopped working problem. At numerous attempts and roll backs I've managed to get a version which works (I think) by not inputting an email account. However when I set up the profile (via Outlook)
I get the message.
Any suggestions please?

Hi Friend,
Might be, there is some issue which creating such kind of bugs and Outlook has been stopped. First open (run) MS-Outlook in Safe mode. To run Outlook in safe mode, follow these instructions:
1.) Open Run option by clicking on
the window button on the desktop.
2.) Enter or type the “Outlook.exe” in
the search box. Disable the all plugin which can create disturbance in Outlook.

Microsoft Excel Has Stopped Working at End of VBA Code

I'm using Microsoft Excel Professional Plus 2010. My code essentially looks up a date in a different sheet, copies it to another sheet in an organized location, and prints to PDF. If I run the code for a period longer than a couple months ago,
at the end of the VBA code, it states "Microsoft Excel Has Stopped Working", quits, and recovers.
I added in a piece of code at the end to save the workbook, which it does, then it quits. I can reopen the document and all my work is saved. There is something going on I can't put my finger on but for some reason it only happens when I'm dealing
with more information than usual (a couple months worth, possibly only 20-30 rows of info).
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!
Dan

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, we'd better do some tests to narrow down the issue and find the root cause.
Please copy the file with code to another PC (We'd better use the similar environment) to test.
First, if it works well, this issue might be caused by the Excel or other program in your PC. I recommend we follow this KB to troubleshoot:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2758592/en-us
Then, if the issue still exists, we could collect the Event log and App crash dump file to do deep troubleshoot.
Second, if it still crashes Excel 2010 in other PC, it might be due to the VBA code. I suggest you upload the code and post the issue to MSND forum for Excel to get more help.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=exceldev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Microsoft Excel has stopped working

We are on BW 7.0 and BEx7.0
I have activated BI Content of InfoCube 0WBS_C11 and all it's SAP delivered Query elements. The InfoCube is loaded with data already.
When I run the queries in BEx, I got message "Microsoft Excel has stopped working" on the queries which have only one parameter of "My Controlling Area", If the queries have other parameters like BWS besides Controlling Area, I got"No Applicable Data Found" .
Please help, thanks.

We are on ERP Release 604 level 0004 SP SAPKH60404.
Office 2007 or lower is the standard for our users. When Report Painter and Infoset query reports are displayed in Excel view using Office 2010 Excel and the file tab is selected (to save the file), a box with the message 'Microsoft Excel has stopped working' appears.
We just discovered this issue and are looking for an answer. The work around for now is to export a spreadsheet file.
