Microsoft treats Outlook users: Outlook for Mac available to Office 365 customers
If you aren't an Office365 customer, see the article on how to update.
The article also goes on to explain that a public beta for the next version of Office for Mac in the first half of 2015. Final release of the next version will be in the second half of the year.

Can't activate Office 2011 for mac (downloaded from office 365 portal)

Hello All,
I've installed Office 2011 for mac which was downloaded from office 365 Portal. However, during installation process there was not a windows for activation (key or sign in method).
Is there a way to force activation on Office 2011 for mac?
Note: I've deleted office 365 com.microsoft.office.plist but i didn't get a windows for activation.
MacbookPro Version 10.10.2
Regards
JO

Hi,
If you downloaded Office 2011 for Mac, you may not need a product key to activate it. Office 365 uses a new mechanism that the activation is based on your Office 365 Account instead of a product key.
Anyway, in this forum we mainly discuss questions and feedbacks about Office for Windows, as your question is about Office for Mac, I suggest you post the question in Office for Mac forum:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac
I've also noticed this question is actually more related to the activation, you may need to contact the local customer service to get more dedicated assistance:

How to use Powershell to set delegate for user mailbox in Exchange 2010 and Office 365

Hello,
Can you please tell me if I can set delegate for user mailbox in Exchange 2010 or Office 365 using Powershell?
If I can, then how can I do that? (which Powershell commands for setting the delegate?)
Many thanks, and have a good day!

Hi,
If you wanted to add a delegate to possiblly a large number of users or you do this during mailbox provisioning. So the following script will use
impersonation to access another users mailbox and add a delegate.
$mbtoDelegate = "[email protected]"
$delegatetoAdd = "[email protected]"
$dllpath = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange\Web Services\1.0\Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dll"
[void][Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile($dllpath)
$service = new-object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeService([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeVersion]::Exchange2007_SP1)
$windowsIdentity = [System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()
$sidbind = "LDAP://<SID=" + $windowsIdentity.user.Value.ToString() + ">"
$aceuser = [ADSI]$sidbind
$service.AutodiscoverUrl($aceuser.mail.ToString())
$service.ImpersonatedUserId = new-object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ImpersonatedUserId([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ConnectingIdType]::SmtpAddress,
$mbtoDelegate);
$mbMailbox = new-object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.Mailbox($mbtoDelegate)
$dgUser = new-object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.DelegateUser($delegatetoAdd)
$dgUser.ViewPrivateItems = $false
$dgUser.ReceiveCopiesOfMeetingMessages = $false
$dgUser.Permissions.CalendarFolderPermissionLevel = [Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.DelegateFolderPermissionLevel]::Editor
$dgUser.Permissions.InboxFolderPermissionLevel = [Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.DelegateFolderPermissionLevel]::Reviewer
$dgArray = new-object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.DelegateUser[] 1
$dgArray[0] = $dgUser
$service.AddDelegates($mbMailbox, [Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.MeetingRequestsDeliveryScope]::DelegatesAndMe, $dgArray);
Hope this helps.

Why can't I delete or rename files in Word for Mac and other Office programs?

When I try to delete or rename an Office for Mac file, I can't. How do I delete/rename Word for Mac and other Office for Mac files?

Had this problem for quite a while but found a work-a-round. I click anywhere in the text I want to delete and insert any character. I am then able to block and delete any text I want to. It's been working great.

Office 365 Customers: General Availability for Access Apps

The news hit last month that Access Apps would be available for all Office 365 customers, well now we can all move full speed ahead. So, what does general availability mean? Customers can now create, share, and use the Access Apps with the same level of full
guarantee as the rest of Office 365. Prior to the announcement, the Access Apps were not under the Office 365 service-level agreement (SLA) and were available only under preview.

Hi,
I find the content which you mentioned above is talking about from the blog:
http://blogs.office.com/2014/02/03/access-apps-general-availability-for-office-365-customers/
Access apps are databases that run in the cloud on most browsers, if you need to know more information, please wait for the blog update.
If I misunderstand something, please let me know.

Outlook and Access for Mac (business user)

i bought Office for the mac primarily to get Excel and i am realizing i may have a need for Outlook to manage email and perhaps Access to manage a very large database. before i spend the money to upgrade from Office mac 2011 to business to get Outlook or upgrade to 365 to also get Access i am wondering if there are other business mac users that find this software/workflow to be really important for them.
thanks in advance for any help

Office 365 gives you the option to install either Mac or PC versions of Office. You could install Parallels or VMware and run Access on Windows.
The Office 2011 version you bought is the exact same version in Office 365. The big difference is how many installs and you automatically get upgraded with the O365 version but not the boxed version.
Office 365 Home Premium 1yr Subscription Key Card
Regular List Price: $99.99 Price: $67.15
Licensed for one user to install on up to five devices. Box includes one Product Key Card - No Disc.
You can get Exchange for an additional $4/month. Outlook is not recommended for POP accounts and does not sync Contacts or Calendars to iCloud. Exchange is the only way currently to get sync for all your items in Outlook.

How to Get Outlook Client Version for MAC from Exchange 2010

Hi,
I want to know how many users in my organization are using Outlook for MAC or Email for MAC. What is the best way to extract this information from Exchange 2010 server. I can read the RPC Client Access logs by running logparser:
logparser.exe "SELECT distinct extract_suffix(client-name,0,'=') as User,client-software,client-software-version as Versio
n,client-mode,client-ip,protocol from 'D:\RPC\EXTC03\RCA_2014*.log' WHERE (operation='Connect') GROUP BY User,client-software,Version,client-mode,client-ip,protocol ORDER BY User" -nSkipLines:4 -i:CSV -rtp:-1 > D:\RPC\EXTC03\EXT
C03.TXT
How to extract Outlook for MAC clients from this command?
Hasan

Hi Hasan,
As far as I know, Outlook for Mac (Office 2011) uses Microsoft's EWS (Exchange Web Service). So you probably need to collect and focus on EWS logs, not RCA.
Anyway, Karl is right that you'd better post your question in our Exchange forum, where you can get more experienced responses:

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.

No Outlook for Mac in my Office Edition...

Hi there!
I know this is a off-apple topic but may be you have a hint for me.
Recently I bought my very first Mac despite I got and iMac for my wife last year, I never had a Mac of my own.
Very excited, I ordered a MacBook Pro 15 i7 and clicked for Office 2011 Home and Student Edition to have it preinstalled.
Afterwards, I realized that edition does not have any email program, which for me is critical. I have years of mails in my PC outlook and I need to pass them to my Mac.
Is there any upgrade available to get the Outlook for Mac or do I have to purchase a new whole license (Office 2011 Home And Business Edition) and waste the money I spent buying the Home and Student Edition?
Thanks in advance!!!
Francisco

I did install it, but wouldnt use most of the features. All I need is a basic email sending/receiving package, and Apple Mail does the job perfect for me.
Also, although you can transfer emails from Mail to Outlook easily, you cant transfer iCal events to Outlook calendar etc.
In teh end I decided I was perfectly fine with Apple Mail.
Im not saying Outlook 2011 is a bad program - far from it. Its a great application. I guess its down to your own particular preference and uses.

MS Outlook 2010/2011 for Mac - outgoing email issues

Hey guys - Hoping someone can help. I use Mac OS X 10.10.4 Yosemite and have never, even pre yosemite, been able to send email from my Outlook. I use Outlook "2010" - but technically speaking it is MSO 2010 - 2011 Edition for Mac.Here's a screenshot: After recently upgrading I figured I would really pour myself into figuring this thing out and I've been playing with all kinds of settings every which way I can, based on what is literally a plethora of forum links from people with similar issues. Cutting to the chase, I would really love to set up my Comcast account via IMAP, but when I tried doing that this morning, I got so bumbled in errors and messups that I was unable to even receive email, so I am currently back at square one with these settings, which allow me to receive email on Comcast, but not send email outgoing: Screenshot of the error I receive when trying to send: I'd be very grateful for any help - currently having family email me on my personal account and receiving it while sitting at my desk at work, but still having to either A) login to the online webmail to respond or respond via my iPhone 6. ..... as you can imagine it is both frustrating and cumbersome. Thanks, Evan

It seems that you have all the correct information but the password is still being rejected. This can happen sometimes if the web login password and IMAP password get out of sync.
To sync the passwords, go to https://customer.xfinity.com/Secure/UserSettings/Flows/ChangePassword and login to your account, then follow the change password instructions on the resulting page.
Once you change your web password (which should force a sync with the IMAP password), you can either:
1) go to outlook and try with the new password in outlook
or:
2) use that same link to change the password back to your old one and then try outlook with the original password
Please let us know if this procedure works or not.

Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac Not Working

I recently purchased Office 2011 for Mac. I work at home on my Mac at work on Windows 7. I also have a work laptop, running Windows 7, that comes home with me. My goal is to RDC my Mac to the laptop running Windows 7 to reduce desktop clutter, and easily work between machines.
I CAN NOT FIGURE OUT how to get Microsoft RDC:mac to connect to my pc.
I know that the pc allows remote desktop connections because I often use RDC at work from PC to PC.
SOME PLEASE HELP! I have spent hours and hours trying to figure this out and I think it is the time capsule that is causing the problem.
My research has found that I have to use port 3389 to get this done. I am pretty computer savy but when it comes to networking I guess I have no clue. I have tried just about everything a and can't figure it out.
Thanks to anyone that can dedicate some time to configureing my time capsule to allow for RDC.

I cannot quite put together your whole network..
I work at home on my Mac at work on Windows 7. I also have a work laptop, running Windows 7, that comes home with me. My goal is to RDC my Mac to the laptop running Windows 7 to reduce desktop clutter, and easily work between machines.
So this is in local lan.. the PC laptop running win7 and the Mac loaded with RDC software. If this is local lan then the issue is nothing to do with TC.
That is only if you are trying to connect from work. to home through the router at work and TC at home. On local lan there is no blocking to ports. Are you using the local network IP of the PC Laptop?
Explain a bit further as it needs a bit more clarification.

Help to configure msoutlook separate inbox for each accounts in office 365 in mac

i have installed office 365 in mac pro book and configured 3 accounts. all the mails are downloading to same inbox. please let me the configuration to receive mail in separate
inbox, sent, draft, etc.. for each accounts

Hi,
By default, the Outlook folder list groups similar folders, such as inboxes, from all of your mail and Microsoft Exchange accounts. This feature can make it easier to read all your messages at once, without having to move around between mail folders.
If you want, you can turn off this feature so that each account and all its folders are separated in the folder list:

Outlook Hangs - Loading Profile / Add Account Stage - Office 365 on Windows 8.1

I have been using outlook via the Office 365 offering for a year. Then 2 days back suddenly my outlook stopped downloading mails from my mail server. It did however send mails.
I went online to check the various causes and after following lots of advice I did all of the below actions:
1. Making sure the OS and Outlook 2013 are installed with the latest updates.
2. Performing a clean boot and trying to open outlook and add account in that mode
(it stops responding)
3. Deleting OST file
4. Deleting profile
5. Running outlook in safe mode (pressing Ctrl while starting up outlook) and trying to add account
(it stops responding)
6. Completely uninstalled office 365 with the fixit tool and then reinstalled
I ended up with Outlook not loading at all. None of the above steps have worked.
If I directly start outlook, it hangs on loading profile.
I have opened control panel, searched for "mail", opened that and deleted profile, then created new profile. After that when I try adding account, it hangs (stops responding) at that adding account stage as well.
This has started suddenly, till 3 days back everything was absolutely fine.
In another forum post, opening Outlook in safe mode was marked as answer. As stated above it has not worked for me.

Hi,
Definitely this seems to be an issue when loading the profile, I've seen many people resolved this problem by disabling hardware acceleration in Office.
Since it's a global setting, you can disable it in Word, Excel, then it will also apply to Outlook.
For example in Word, go to FILE -> Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Check "Disable hardware graphics acceleration" -> OK.
We can also configure this through GPO or registry, more details can be found in this article:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/cc26ac52-5c94-468e-ac34-35c9dcc5b422/hardware-graphics-acceleration?forum=outlook
Hope it helps.
