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.

  • How to open shared calendar in Outlook for Mac 15 (Office 365)?

    A colleague in my organisation has created a calendar in a different version of Outlook and shared it with me, but I am unable to access it. What am I missing?
    I have tried:
    Select Calendar
    Click Open shared calendar
    Search for the person's name. They appear in the list.
    Select and click open. I get a popup saying "Outlook was redirected to the server secure.autodiscover.... to get new settings for your account (email address of person I selected). ..."
    Tick "Always use my response for this server" and click "Allow". The same popup appears. 
    Again I tick "Always use my response for this server" and click "Allow". I get a popup saying "Outlook cannot open the folder. You do not have permission to open this folder. Contact (sharer's name) for permission."
    Also, this colleague has triggered a share invitation email.
    This contains an XML file that I cannot open with Outlook.

    Hi,
    According to your description, I notice that Outlook for Mac for Office 365 cannot open shared calendar.
    If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    Which account are you used, Exchange account or Microsoft account?
    Would you please login OWA and test to open this shared calendar?
    Outlook for Mac cannot open the shared calendar which is a sub-calendar, you have to ask calendar owner share all calendars under the default "Calendar" folder.

    Apple told developers they were removing that service over two years ago. The developers that depended upon it should have done something about it.
    Why did they remove it? My guess is because it was pretty crappy, was difficult to maintain, and wasn't a good solution for multiple devices that could get the info without tethering to a "base" Mac.

  • How to view my family share calendar in outlook for mac 2011 (ical)

    Hey All
    Problem:
    Want to view my family share calendar in outlook for mac 2011.
    Want to have them sync on the fly (push)
    Currently running 2 exchange mailboxes which have their own mailboxes and calendars which you can toggle between.
    For the PC this is a relatively straight forward task.. You can add an additional calendar to outlook and you are away. Wife's PC can view her own personal exchange calendar and on a separate tab she can view, edit, print etc the family share calendar.
    For outlook for Mac, I've tried a few work arounds and none of them actually work, all the Apple documentation available doesn't really cover this.
    Any help would be much appreciated
    Cheers

  • Outlook for Mac 2011 Calendar issue

    Hi guys, hope someone can help.
    I am experiencing issues with Outlook for Mac 2011. When users create their own entries in public calendars they can edit / delete them no problem up until about 2 weeks after the creation date. Then only people set to the 'Owner' permission can
    edit or delete them.
    This is affecting all users. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone know how to sort it?

    Hi,
    This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Outlook for Windows, better to post your question to Office for Mac forum

  • Unable to send email from Mac using Outlook for Mac 2011

    I have a single user that cannot send email from the Mac after migrating to Exchange 2013 on-prem. I myself am on the same Exchange server and am using a Mac with Office 2011 and am able to send/receive emails without any issues.
    When the user sends an email it goes to the sent mail folder and syncs with the server and can be seen on a windows machine running any other version of Office (same in OWA). I've logged the user in on my Mac and blown away my profile and seeing the same issue.
    Not sure if this narrows my issue down to the Exchange server receiving the send request from a Mac or if it's some setting in Outlook on the Mac?
    I do not see anything in the logs on the server and have not seen any error son the Mac.
    Any thoughts as to where my issues is? 

    Hi,
    According to your description, I find that there is a single user cannot send email.
    I suggest using Outlook on Windows machine and sending emails via this single user to verify whether the emails can be sent.
    If the single user can send email via Outlook on Windows machine, it seems an issue on the Mac side.
    I suggest asking Outlook for Mac Forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestions.
    For your convenience:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoutlook?tab=Threads
    If can't send emails in Outlook, it seems an issue on the single user side.
    I suggest trying to access the single user's mailbox via OWA to verify whether the mailbox has been migrated completely.
    Thanks

  • Send Issues with Outlook for Mac (2011 / V15) and Exchange 2013 SP1

    Hi all,
    we have a strange issue with only with Outlook for Mac Users (version 2011 and the newest Outlook Version (V15) from Office 365) connected to our Exchange Server 2013 SP1. Some emails which we send out to the exactly same recipient are not sent through our
    Exchange Server. 
    We have sent 8 emails with subject "test1, test2, test3...". Only test 3-6 was arriving to the recipient. The other emails are in the "sent" folder but it was not sent out through the Exchange.
    What we can see with "Get-MessageTrackingLog" is, that the Recipients and MessageSubject are empty for these emails:
    Timestamp Sender Recipients MessageSubject

  • Imac is 4 months old.  Using installed Outlook for Mac 2011 but now want to use ical so that I can start to use iCloud to sync with my Ipad2 and iPhone.  How do I move my calendar from outlook to ical on the iMac?

    This is my first attempt at using this forum so please be patient with me.  I am new to the apple world.  Bought an Imac desktop computer back in October and installed Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 because I was used to Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and outlook.  Now I am being told that I should be using ical for my calendar so that I will be better able to move to icloud for use between my Imac, Ipad2, and Iphone.
    The question is:  how do I move my calendar which is in "Outlook for Mac 2011" into ical on my Mac?  Do I have to remove the Outlook entries from the computer and reinstall them back to the same machine or can I somehow move calendar entries within the machine?  I appreciate any help I can get.  Thanks.

    I also already deleted my phone number from iMessage on my MBP.

  • Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

  • No Sync with Imac and Outlook for mac 2011

    Hello,
    just bought a new bb torch, but it does not synchronise with outloop (office for mac 2011).
    no contacts, no agenda.
    I can not choose which agenda/contacts.
    It looks like the Torch goes to the standard email progam of Imac and not to Outlook.
    The only contacts are the standard contacts from addressbook imac.
    thanks in advance,
    rob

    I have just discovered the same thing - if you do a search around the topic you will find it confirmed that the only thing that will sync with Outlook for Mac is contacts.
    I've just moved everything over from a PC to a Mac and so to find it not working is so frustrating.
    SORT IT OUT RIM - or at least assure us you're working on it. 

  • Acrobat X v10.0 - cannot Submit Form in Outlook for Mac 2011

    I created a form in Acrobat X v10.  When submitting the form in Windows, it opens the Select Email Client window, user can select Desktop Email Application, click OK and the completed form is sent via Outlook.  When I try to do the same on a Mac, it goes through the process, but doesn't send.  It looks like it will, but when I go to the Sent Items, it's not there and doesn't send. 
    I suspect it's something to do with Outlook for Mac 2011, but does anyone know of a workaround other than saving the file to the computer and sending the old fashioned way?  I really would prefer users not saving the file.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi oc_jane,
    Is Outlook 2011 your default mail application?
    What version of Mac OS are you running?
    If you click the following email address, [email protected] does it launch a new blank email in Office 2011 w/ that email address in the 'To:' line?
    Thanks,
    David

  • Unable to attach PDF to email (Outlook for Mac 2011)

    We are pushing out software upgrades for CS5 and MS Office 2011 for Mac. We've discoverd that we can't use the Attach to email feature in Acrobat. The spinning rainbow wheel pops up for about a minute, and then Acrobat is non-responsive and we have to force quit. We can still drag and drop an attachment so we have a viable workaround but obviously we'd like to be able to use the automated feature.
    All software is up-to-date.
    In the preferences panel of Outlook, we have selected Outlook to be the default mail application.
    As a sidenote, this feature doesn't work with Acobat X beta either. However, in the beta version of Acrobat X, if we declare Apple's mail application to be the default, it works fine. Unfortunately we use the Office suite as part of our enterprise system, so that's what we need to work with.
    Has anyone else experienced this? I've logged a ticket with Adobe but I haven't heard back from them yet.
    Thanks for any advise.

    Take the bhama way
    figured out how to make it work.  I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (mac)
    and MS Outlook for Mac 2011.
    For those who are interested, this is what I did:
    1. Create a folder on desktop to save your pdf¹s files you want to email
    to.  Mine is named, "PDF to Email"
    2. Open Automator, create a "Folder Action"
    3. At the top, "Choose Folder", choose your newly created folder on the
    desktop
    4. Choose the "Rename Finder Items" action from the action list.  I chose,
    "Don¹t Add" on the add a Copy Finder Items Action menu.
    5. On the "Add Date or Time to Finder Item Names" I chose, "Name Single
    Item" from the first drop down menu.
    6. Click on "Options" at the bottom of that window to select the "Show
    this action when the workflow runs" so you can rename your         file
    something other than the Acrobat default.
    7. Choose the "Create New Outlook Mail Message" from the action list and
    add it below the "Name Single Item in Finder Item Names"
    8. Choose "File>Save As" and give your file a name.  Mine is, "PDF to
    Email".
    9. Close Automator
    10. Open Acrobat X Pro.
    11. Go to "File>Action Wizard>Create New Action"
    12. Here you choose, "Save to>A Folder on my computer"
    13. Choose the folder on the desktop that we saved earlier
    14. Save the file, with the action name you will remember.
    Now when you are in Acrobat X Pro and you want to send that .pdf file via
    Outlook for Mac 2011, follow the steps below.
    With the file you want to email open, go to "File>Action Wizard>(Action
    you created) Mine is "PDF to Email".  It will take a few seconds, but you
    will get an "Action Completed".  You will get a pop up that allows you to
    name/rename the file. Then it should open your Outlook with your .pdf
    attached and ready for sending.
    You might need to tweak the actions to suit your needs, but this should
    work for you.

  • How do I change the Attribution font size for Outlook for Mac

    Outlook For Mac assistance.
    I have gone into the settings menu and properly set up my font and style for correspondence (Preferences-Fonts), the issue I have is that when I reply or forward a message, the Attribution (To, From, Subject,
    Date) etc... from the sender defaults to a much larger 24 size/ Verdana.  I can manually highlight and then change this to match my settings of a 16 - Calibri but this is a hassle.  I have tried to alter this via the Preferences for E-mail (Composing)
    and  while option three gives a Name, Date, Address option (sans the Subject) Attribution, the second desired standard option does not include font or style changes.  This is of course the HTML option which is preferable to me.
    How can I set the default of option two to match my other font and/or style preferences?
