Multiple calenders from outlook
I am using PC suite to sync outlook cals to my mobile. However I use multiple outlook calenders and i seem to be only able to select one calender to sync.
is it possible to select multiple calenders to sync?????
Only way I can think of is to change the PC Suite sync settings to use a different Calendar folder or a different Outlook profile every time before you synch.
However, since the 6630 Calendar app supports only one Calendar database, this could create a bit of a mess on the device.

Can't sync multiple emails from Outlook 2007 into Iphone
It only listed the main (usually work) email, and does not transfer the home and other emails from Outlook. I can manually enter a second email and label it on the iphone, but that is not helpful as I have hundreds of business/friends with multiple emails in my Outlook... it does get home and work addresses...
Hi,
The workaround is to use Cached Exchange Mode or "Shift + Delete", as the user doesn't want to delete the message permanently, using Cached Exchange Mode is preferred.
Based on my research, this issue is more Exchange 2010 related, and you mentioned the user also got the error from Outlook Web Access. This issue occurs after Exchange 2010 Service Pack 2 RU6 or Exchange 2010 Service Pack 3 is installed.
To resolve this issue, install the following update rollup:
2803727 Description of Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 3
I hope the information is helpful.

Users cannot access calenders from outlook after migration to exchange 2013
I have a strange situation after upgrading to exchange 2013 some users are reporting that they cannot open or create calender appointments for calenders they used to be able to manage. we currently are using outlook 2010. also when the users access the calenders
with the webmail they are reporting that they can access the calenders and are able to do all the things they need to do.
i have tried reinstalling office and adding their exchange accounts but this does not help.
another stange thing is that to be sure i had setup the correct access policy i have reset all the security entries on all the calendars with the help of powershell. this seemed to have helped but after a couple of hours some users started reporting that they
could not access calendar items again!Hi,
Is there any error description when the problematic users cannot open or create calendar items? Since the issue only happens to some users instead of all users and all calendars can work well in OWA, I think the calendar in the mailbox
should be configured properly.
Please configure the problematic user’s Outlook account in a clean computer with new installed Outlook to check whether the issue persists.
Thanks,

Problem with quick printing multiple .pdfs from Outlook 2010
Hi there,
I have a user who is having problems printing multiple .pdf's using the quick print function in Outlook. I have tried reader 9,10 and 11.
11 errors when printing (nothing specific in the error message) and only 1 or 2 documents are printed.
9 and 10 error and report that a file is missing. Yet again, often prints 1 or two of the files.
I have reproduced the problem on my own PC.
Is there some type of bug with Adobe Acrobat printing multiple files using the quick print function within Outlook?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
WillI am not very skilled in Adobe by any means, but I was having the same issue. When I did the Control P to print, I went into Print Options, then into Properties. Under Adobe PDF settings, I unchecked the box that said "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts." and that worked for me.
Hope it helps. -
View multiple Calenders from Phone
Hey All
I have looked at everything I can find and looked through the history on here and other forums.
I have just upgraded all my staff phones at work to the Nokia 520 so that staff can access their Emails and Calendars. That part is easy and the phones are set up and going well. But!
We need to be able to see each others calendars like we can on our PC's so we make a booking at check that it doesn't conflict with other staff members.
We gain access through a mail exchange server so I am not sure if that is causing me an issue?
Any help or guidance will be welcome! ThanksHi,
Agreed with Diane. Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync lets devices synchronize with your Inbox, your calendar, and other items that have Microsoft Exchange Server mailboxes. But Exchange active sync only allows the one to one connection, we can't open a shared
company calendar as yours.
Additionally, it is not recommended to use third-party devices with ActiveSync service to manage user mailbox calendar. We can manage it from either OWA or Outlook. There are some issues with third-party devices that synchronize with Exchange by using Exchange
ActiveSync:

Hi I have iphone 3G. and Windows Outlook Vista on Toshiba
When syncing, all Calendar eventswith repeats, are extending by 2 days on my phone . Any suggestions?
Also Calendars screen on phone is freezing as blank.Have to go into Calendars/Hide All pages/ then show all pages every time to get it up on screen.Any suggestions?I thought the iPod does have the feature to sync calenders. When I plug in my iPod and click under the "Contacts" tab its gives me the option to sync contacts and calenders, but under the calender section it says "Must have Microsoft Outlook installed in order to synchronize calenders". I installed Microsoft Outlook but that option is still not there. I'll look into the third-party software anyways I guess. Thanks for the reply.

Printing multiple attachments from outlook 2003 fails
I have huge problems printing pdf attachments through outlook, when i try i either dont print them all or it pops up with an error saying.
file could not be found, or No printer installed, or printer have to be setup to allow printing.
ofc a printer is installed and setup, i have tried printing on HP 9000, 9040, 4730, 4600, with both PCL6 and PS drivers.
I have tried printing to a file, and printing directly to the printer.
I have installed a PC with the bare minimum, XP SP2, outlook and adobe 7 and 8, same issue.
the pdfs im trying to print are microsoft proof of sales documents, which we receive several of each day, with 5-20 pdf attachments in each, each attachment is between 400 and 800 kb in size.
the problem is also present in outlook 2007.
I'm sure there are several things i have tried and forgotten in this plea for help, but im really hoping someone out there have one or more ideas.
Thanks in advance.I am not very skilled in Adobe by any means, but I was having the same issue. When I did the Control P to print, I went into Print Options, then into Properties.

Exporting selected contacts from Outlook 2011 for Mac
I've wanted to easily export a set of selected contacts from Outlook in Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. I've been through many threads about synching to Address Book and then exporting, but I've found a host of troubles, including duplicate copies of contacts being created.
So, I finally broke down and wrote an AppleScript script to export all of the currently selected contacts from Outlook to a file in either vcf (vcard) or csv (comma separated value) format. The best use of this script is to:
-- Install this as a script in Microsoft Outlook by saving the script below to Documents>Microsoft User Data>Outlook Script Menu Items
-- Change to your Contacts in Outlook. Use the Outlook search bar to find the contacts you want to export. You might search by name, category, company, or anything else that identifies the contacts you want to export. Or, you might just leave the view showing all contacts.
-- Select the contacts you want to export
-- Launch the script
The script will have you select between vcard and csv and select a destination file. This hasn't been optimized for speed, so if you're exporting 100's or 1,000's of contacts, be patient. And there isn't a progress bar at present, so you have to wait. It will display an alert when it's complete.
Sorry not to have a download location for you. You'll just have to copy the script text :-). Keep in mind there's been some but limited testing. Read the comments for details. And enjoy.

Unable to send email POP3 email from Outlook 2013 unless signed on as local admin
Windows 7 Outlook 2013
I recently upgraded from Office 2010 to 2013. For several weeks everything ran smoothly but a few days ago I noticed that my Verizon POP3 account was unable to send mail - items just sit in outbox. I have deleted/added the account and the profile
multiple times, this will solve the problem for a few days but then it returns again. I discovered that if I run Outlook as an administrator the mail will send without a problem. I have checked permissions on the pst file and do not see any issues.
Sometimes but not always I receive a message on the POP3 send that there was no network connection check mode. The send test message in the account set up never has a problem - it's only the periodic Outlook sending and receiving when the problem occurs.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
enagyHi,
Since the problem could be be solved for a few days by deleting/re-adding the profile and the account, the problem may be related to the .pst file. When the problem comes back, run Scanpst.exe to repair the. pst file, will the problem be fixed again?
Learn how to use Scanpst.exe:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227/en-us
We can also assume there are other programs that are interacting with the .pst file, reboot and disable the possible programs to test if this makes a difference.
If you're disconnected, you'll also need to check the network cable, try restarting your computer, or contact your Internet Service Provider or your system administrator. This implies the issue may be related to the anti-virus program or the firewall settings,
which may be scanning the outgoing emails from Outlook. We can disable them temporarily to send the emails again, check if this helps.

Outlook 2007 won't open .pst file from Outlook 2000
I have been using Outlook 2000 for 10 years and hit the 2GB limit. As a result, Outlook 2000 would not open mail and did not permit me to delete mail to clear space.
I’d been meaning to install my Office 2007 and this seemed like the time to do so. Once installed, I attempted to open my 2 GB PST file in Outlook 2007. No luck.
Messages: “The message interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.” And “Cannot display information. There is either a problem connecting to the server or an error has occurred.”
Researching on the Web, I found Microsoft guidance that I could create a new data file and import the old (ANSI) .PST file into this new (Unicode) .PST file. When I did
that, during the Import, I encountered another error message: “The file has reached its maximum size. (Followed by two unhelpful sentences – can’t be imported).”
OK, I think, I have to reduce the size of that file. Research yields Microsoft’s “oversized PST and PST crop tool.”
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296088 I do that and follow the instructions to scan the truncated file with Microsoft’s
scanpst.exe tool, which is included with Office.
Another error: scanpst.exe will not complete its scan. I receive a mysterious error message with no indication what the exact problem is. I created multiple versions
of the truncated .PST file, each smaller than the last, so that the smallest was 1.7 GB. Still errors with scanpst.exe and ultimately no luck.
I have spent more than 10 hours trying to solve this problem and am at wit’s end. I’m a freelance writer, and it’s costing me money. What’s worse,
info on projects I’m supposed to be working on are locked in that PST file! All data is stored locally on a Dell laptop with Windows 7.
Help anybody? Please? Thank you!Fifteen hours later, I was back in business, having upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2007, a process one would expect to take a half-hour tops. I'm no IT pro, but
I am pretty accomplished at fixing problems. This one seemed beyond my reach, as neither of the utilities Microsoft recommended to address the issue, the truncation tool and scanpst.exe, worked -- what a surprise! I engaged a local technician to diagnose the
problem remotely, and over a course of four hours he fixed it using a third-party program called "Outlook Recovery Toolbox." I'd actually downloaded that tool and fooled around a bit, but didn't use it for a full scan as I think that required a purchase, and
who knows if it's malware or what. Well, it worked.
So 15 hours lost. That cost me hundreds of dollars as I am self-employed, plus I have a $150 bill from the technician, which is more than fair for his two hours of labor
(the extra two hours were scanning and importing time). Again, Microsoft managed to turn into an epic ordeal what the consumer expects to be a straightforward upgrade process.
Now I have Outlook 2007, oh boy! The first thing I notice is the inflexible mail header above the message body. WTF is that supposed to be? Who was the Einstein who thought
that up? It renders USELESS like an inch of real estate right in the center of the screen! I find that it can be hidden (not, of course, with a simple, convenient and sensible right click ... oh NOOOO ... but through multi-click options available in the toolbar).
(For background, Outlook 2000 did not have that inflexible mail header -- the header info (subject, date, sender, CC) was part of the email, so if you scrolled down the
email, the header went with it and made the best possible use of available space).
Now here's a twist -- Outlook does not show, in your list of emails, whether an email has an attachment if the email was sent via Lotus Notes. That was a glitch in 2000,
and one I would expect to have been resolved in 2007. BUT NO. So, just moments ago, I have an email/meeting invitation sent from a client using Lotus Notes. Even though I had told Outlook to hide headers, it disobeyed me ...
why? Because this was a "meeting invite" email, offering me options, in that stupid inflexible header, to Accept, Decline, Propose New Time, & etc. Well, those options only increased the size of that inflexible header, so that the visible area of
the email WAS LESS THAN ONE INCH HIGH. Yes, I can adjust it -- how very productive!
These two Microsoft glitches / manifestations of poor design -- no alerting to attachments from Lotus clients and that horrid header -- very nearly conspired to cause
me to miss a critical attachment displayed only at the very bottom of the email. The document attached needs to be read and commented before the meeting, and only by the grace of God did I happen to scroll, IN THAT 3/4 INCH MAIL WINDOW, to the bottom and happen
to spot said critical attachment.
Do I expect anything more from Microsoft ... other than more grief and stupidity? Sadly, I do not. It is my misfortune in life to have to use Microsoft Word on a daily
basis, as I have for the past 10 years.
Before that, I used WordPerfect and what a wonderful program it was! I recall using WordPerfect to write and design one lovely graphical document in particular that earned
me an A+ in class. WordPerfect was so easy and powerful, with virtually no hassles—just gratification. Is it better to have loved (WordPerfect) and lost, than to have never loved at all?
Unfortunately, since all my clients use Word, I have to as well. Frankly, and I hope this isn’t against board rules, I am merely speaking the truth as I see it—Microsoft
Word is an utterly wretched application that has caused me untold grief and aggravation. Bulleting, text boxes, fickle fonts, the list is very, very long …. But it only gets worse!!!
The whole .doc .vs
docx is a complete debacle; the “Compatibility Pack” is a cruel joke. If I use Word 2000 on .docx documents, here are some of the inconveniences and frustrations that I encounter:
Bulleting function grayed out
Spelling errors not highlighted
Additional linespaces introduced into printed documents
Mysterious transposition of bold, italics and underlining
Inability to work with text boxes (“Error! Reference source not found!”)
Track Changes not accurately recorded
These are not incidental issues. I’m a spelling bee champion, but unless the spelling highlight function works, I am bound to have a typo or two in a 20-page document.
This affects the quality of my work and my livelihood.
To make matters worse, my Windows 7 often won’t find .docx documents. If I had worked on a .docx document something four months that I recall included the word
“Rumplestiltskin,” the Windows 7 Find function should locate it, but it does not.
I could go on and on. How about the dismal wireless connectivity in Window 7, vs. XP, which was virtually flawless. But I’m trying to catch up on the 15 hours that I lost yesterday thanks to Microsoft’s
awful Outlook troubleshooting and upgrade functionality. -
Now that I am on Mavericks and no longer able to sync between my iPhone/iPad and Outlook 2011 on my MacBook Pro, I'm finally taking the leap (which I should have done long ago) and abandoning Outlook 2011 all together (doesn't help that Outlook now prompts me to rebuild by Identity multiple times per day). I am hoping to export from Outlook to iCal, Address Book, etc, but I would love it if someone could check my steps.
Delete iCal and Apple Address Book content -- Because I have old data in iCal and Address Book (that was synched before I upgraded to Mavericks), I planned to delete this data as follows:
Manually deleting my multiple calendars in the iCal app
Go to Go>Home>Library>Calendars and drag "Calendar Cache" to trash
Go to Go>Home>Library>Caches and drag "com.apple.iCal" and "com.apple.AddressBook" to the trash
Go to Go>Home>Library>Application Support and drag "Address Book" to the trash
Export Outlook 2011 Calendars to iCalIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into iCal? I will use this file format to individually export each of my calendars from Outlook 2011 and import them into iCal.
Export Outlook 2011 Contact List to Apple Address BookIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into Apple Address Book?
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Hi acs4055,
As per your query I found a relevant solution for resolving this, actually I haven’t tried the steps you wrote here in your query. But I found a solid key answer for exporting from Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.1) Outlook 2011 to iCal for Apple mail. This is possible through Drag and Drop method via this you can undoubtedly migrate Outlook 2011 Calendar to ical format.
Hope it will assist you and you will be able to attain a desired solution. -
About sync multiple calendar to outlook
I would like to ask the result of sync multiple calendar from iPhone IOS 6.x to outlook issue.
Our users are using Outlook 2010 and had a primary mailbox for their own mailbox, and a shared mailbox for the Shared Calendar issue.
The iPhone had multiple Calendar there, if the user use itune to sync the calendar to Outlook 2010:
Will the multiple calendar combine into one calendar in Outlook 2010 and classified by Categories?
Which Outlook calendar will the iPhone calendars sync to Outlook 2010? Sync only to Primary mailbox or to both Primary mailbox and the shared caolendar?
On the other hand, as the Outlook 2010 has a primary mailbox and a shared mailbox, how would itune handle to sync the calendar to iPhone?
Please kindly help.

Can a single event exist in multiple Calenders?
Hello All,
I am wondering if it is possible to have a single event exist in multiple calenders with iCal. This is my situation:
I use a Mac Mini with 10.5.8, MobileMe, and an iPod Touch. In iCal I have some Calenders that I have created (work, personal, parties, etc.), and some subscriptions, (last.fm attending and recommendations, facebook) and a google calender that is shared with my co-workers and one that is shared with some of my friends that we use for coordinating parties, hanging out on weekends, going to shows.
Right now, let's say a show comes down from last.fm and I want it to show up in the calender shared with my friends. Right now I have to copy paste the event from one calenders to the other. Friends that subscribe to the calender see the event just fine, but I now have two events that are exactly identical except the calendar they are part of. If this happens to be a local band and they post the show to facebook ( or any other cal really) I end up with an additional event.
I had a semi-solution for a while that by subscribing to all of the non local calenders thru google calender I could read/write the event, and for example change the calender from 'last.fm' to 'shared with all my friends' However it seems that that was some kind of glitch as it has stopped working for events created less then about two weeks ago.
All of the solutions that I have been able to find suggest using 'invitations, however, even with my all apple environment (OSX, ipod, MobileMe) I simply cannot get invitations to work with in my own system or friends also using apple products. and its about a 50/50 split between people useing Apple stuff or Android, or Windows. Additionally, the reason that this shared calender was set up in the first place is because some people simply do not respond or make note of invitations/emails but are EXTREMELY happy when the events just show up.
What I would like, is to be able to have for example the event 'Dinner party on sunday' to exist in two or more calenders at once, with out the event being duplicated. I am open to any solution to getting this system working. I would prefer a solution using ical/mobileme as thats what I have, but am open to google calender, or really anything that will make it work.
Also I have Access to a computer with Leopard Server and have been playing with the calender server but mostly have just succeeded in repeatedly breaking the service when trying to do most anything besides turning it on so I am open to an iCal Server solution as well, but that seems to be a little beyond my knowledge.@Ravi Kumar.R
Am new to SDN, I never expected such a quick response.
Thank U dude... -
When I get an ICS from Outlook Express (Office is PC based) that is a multi-day event, it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS. I have to delete it and send a "decline notice" to the sender and re-enter it so I can put in multiple day events. Help!
If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.) -
Source of Multiple Calendars in Outlook 2007 and iCloud (iOS7.0.4)
Source of Multiple Calendars in Outlook 2007 and iCloud (iOS7.0.4)
My iPhones (2) and iPad list the following color-coded calendar names when the word "Calendar" is pressed at the bottom of the calendar screen: All iCloud (no colored dot), Calendar (Blue Dot), Home (orange Dot), Saved emails (red dot), and Saved emails (2)( green dot).
Calendar items created on both iPhones are coded with a blue dot and appear on a blue background in iCloud and on the phones. Calendar items created on my iPad appear on a green background (saved emails 2) on my iPad and my iphones. Why isn't the color "Blue"? It appears that entries made on Outlook appear in Saved Emails (red).
I have not imported or connected with any external calendars.
This behavior raises the following questions:
1) Should entries created on each device appear in a different color?
2) Does the color associated with an entry designate a specific device or a specific type of device?
3) Which device is the "Home" device referred to in paragraph 1 above?
4) Why would a Calendar be named with a reference to "saved emails"? From where would it come.
My understanding about synching with iCloud was that any entry from any iDevice (phone or pad) or iCloud would appear in both iCloud and in the calendars of all devices on the same Apple Account. Please confirm my understanding or correct it.
With iCloud as the hub, must I still utilize Microsoft Outlook? I am retired and no longer need Outlook for work.
Can I edit any calendar entry in I cloud had have it change it in all the devices, or must it be edited in the device in which the entry was originally made?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.I would ditch Outlook like a bad habit.
Now to answer your questions starting at the bottom. yes, you can edit any and all iCloud Calendars on iCloud.com. You can rename your calendars, re-color them, create, edit or delete events, etc.
So you asked a question on why your calendars are named 'saved emails'. This sounds like something that would be created from Outlook since you can send email to the calendar in Outlook. If you quit using outlook, you can simply rename the calendars to something more sensible or delete them entirely.
About calendar colors. Each calendar you (or your mail program on your behalf) has created gets assigned a name and color. Each color helps your identify which calendar and event belongs to. When you create a new event from your iOS device or iCloud.com, you will find a handy little section that says 'calendar' where you can specify to which calendar (or color) you want that event to be on. You will also find this option when tapping and editing and event on the iOS devices or icloud.com. If you want all of your devices to default to the same calendar when creating a new event, on your iOS devices go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Scroll to the section that says 'Calendar' in gray (its at the very bottom) and change the 'default calendar' to whatever you want the defualt to be. You can also change the default in iCloud.com by clicking the gear icon.
My recommendation: 1) Ditch Outlook. Go to your Control Panel > iCloud and uncheck Outlook. 2) Move all of your events to one or two calendars. if you don't have a need for multiple calendars, just simplify your life and move them all to one calendar. You can edit the event and change the calendar, then go back and delete the other calendars that are confusing you with all the different colors. You can rename, recolor, create and delete calendars form your iOS device by tapping calendar in the bottom of the screen when in the calendars app then tap edit in the top left. You can also do these same things on iCloud.com Where ever is easiest for you will work.
