Outlook 2010 Data files have reached maximum size and can't delete.

This is the message I get whenever I try to send/rec mail.. it is also the message that I get when I try to delete any messages, whether from inbox, sent items, or deleted... just seems locked up. This is not enterprise or Exchange server this is from my
wife's home office. I have been playing around with this for hours, and still get the same message and still dead in the water.. Please help! I am running windows 7home.
I was attaching the photo.. but won't take it until verified. "The Outlook data file C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst has reached the maximum size. To redude the amount of data in the file, permanently delete some items that
you no longer need. You could also consider using the new Outlook data file (.pst) introduced with Outlook 2003 that provides greater capacity for storing items and folders.
Thanks,

Hi,
You can try compacting the data file:
Go to File tab -> Account Settings -> Account Settings
-> Data Files tab, double click on the data file -> Under
General tab, click on the Compact Now button ->
OK.
This will reduce the size of your Outlook data file. Then you can test if any items can be deleted from the .pst file.
More information about the size limit for both (.pst) and (.ost) files in Outlook, please refer to the kb below:

Outlook 2010 - Data File Properties/Folder Size verses Windows Explorer pst file size

I am running Outlook 2010 32bit Version 14.0.6129.5000 on a Windows PC running Windows 7 Professional. All updates from MS are up to date.
I have several pst files I open with Outlook 2010. The size of the files displayed in Outlook are very different than what is displayed in Windows Explorer.
For example one of the pst file called "business.pst" when opened Outlook displays it under "Data File Properties -> Folder Size" that the Total Size (including subfolders) is 764,354 KB. Windows Explorer says
the file size is 1,190,417 KB.
For some reason MS Outlook 2010 is displaying the wrong folder size. Any ideas why this is the case?
Thanks,
Pat

Outlook mailbox grows as you create and receive items. When you delete items, the size of the Outlook Data File (.pst and .ost) file might not decrease in proportion to the data that you deleted, untill it has been compacted.
Normally, after you have deleted items from an Outlook Data File (.pst), the file will be automatically compacted in the background when you’re not using your computer and Outlook is running.
For an exception, when the Outlook Data File (.pst) is somehow corrupt, the compaction might not finish correctly. So the size of the Outlook Data File (.pst) file might remain the same before compaction.
To solve this, try run the
scanpst to fix the Outlook Data File (.pst) file first, after that, we can
manually start the compact command.
When finished, compare the file size again.

TS1702 My App Store shows that I have 9 available updates, but the update screen remains blank. My ios is up to date, I have an active connection and can access every other section of the store.

I Can't access upgrades that the app stores keeps notifying me about. The update screen is just blank.

Folks can wait it out or I understand if you go to purchased and your list of apps you will see a little update banner on the ones that need to be updated. YOu can then download them manually.

LocalStorage reach maximum size while there are only 800 Kb data in it.

I met an localStorage exception when I call API "localStorage.setItem()" 
we are developing a web site, we used host like aaaa.bb.com the case is : 
the local storage has about 560KB Data in localstorage and then I want to set an item into localStorage, the size of the new item is 301KB 
then the browser throw exception, the content of the exception is as follows: 
 
The way I used to test the size of localStorage is: JSON.stringify(localStorage).length 
 
"Persistent Storage maximum size reached" code:"1014" nsresult: "0x80530f6(NS_ERROR_DOM_QUOTA_REACHED)" 
I tested this function in other machines and in chrome, this exception will not occur, I want to know why this exception occurs on the machine, if there is any settings in firefox? or if there is any relationship with the cache size?

the root cause is found.
the reason is that aaa.domain.com and bbb.domain.com, the two sub domain will share the same space of localStorage because they are under the same top level domain domain.com.
aaa.domain.com reach maximum size when there is only 500KB data in localStorage because there is already 4.5MB data in localStorage of bbb.domain.com.

Tablespace Index almost reached maximum size

Dear support,
I have some issue which is Tablespace <SID>#BTABI almost reached maximum size.
running on DB2 version 8.2 fp 11 OS AIX 5.2
KB Total : 63 GB
Page Size : 4 KB
Please advice, should i do a conversion or any suggestions?
thanks in advance

Hi Tuan,
Page Size of aTablespace Maximum Size of Table with DB2 Version 8
4 KB 64 GB
8 KB 128 GB
16 KB 256 GB
32 KB 512 GB
The size limit which you have mentioned is only for tables and not for the tablespaces. You can have a tablespace of size more than 64 GB.
In case if your tablespaces are autoresize enabled, then you have to ensure that you have enough space in the drive/file system. Else,
1. You can create a new containers for that particular tablespace.
2. Resize all the containers of the tablespace (if you have space in the drive/file system associated with the tablespace).

HT1386 i cannot sync my iphone 4s with outlook 2010 . I have the newest version of ituns

I just downloaded the new iphone software to 6.0,1 and my iphone no longer sync's with my outlook 2010 calendar or contacts. It goes through the motions but the changes are not updated to my iphone.

I have a 4s as well and sync my calendar and contacts to Outlook 2010. I have not updated from 5.1.1 as of yet. I was curious if you sync through iTunes and if so do you do that over the usb cable or wifi? I had seen in another post on this issue where somebody was using 2007 and upgrading to 2010 resolved but you are already there. Have you scanned your pst file yet?

Outlook 2010 messages that have not been deleted are available in Recover deleted Items list

Hello,
Outlook 2010\Exchange 2010 SP1-clustred
I have looked at several mail accounts through Outlook 2010 client, they are not using the cached mode, they have not emptied the trash.
When I look in Recover deleted items I am seeing messages, mostly sent messages that are available for recovery, the problem is that these messages have not been deleted, they are
still in the sent folder.
I have restored one to see what will happen, it does restore to the deleted items folder.
It seems to random messages some sent to groups some sent to a single individual
Some Outlook 2010 clients I have checked do not show this problem, but several do including myself, I would have assumed that the Outlook 2010 client user had somehow deleted
it and restored it causing this problem if I did not see this on my own account.
Is this normal behavior? Perhaps some from replication or temp draft's
Any help or information would be appreciated.
Thanks

Since the post is over two year old, I'm not sure manotelli is still following it, but I think he is talking about something else:
1. He starts a message and does not complete it (or send it).
2. The message is saved as a draft pending completion.
3. Once he completes the message and sends it, there is an autosaved version that is deleted.
I'm not sure what relationship exists between the "draft" which (I would think) is what is ultimately sent when the message is completed and whatever is sent to the recycle bin.
It has nothing to do with webmail (OWA) or any form of remote access.
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

What's the maximum size and length that go onto a DVD

I'm trying to put a whole load of home videos onto DVDs. What is the maximum size that can be burnt onto a DVD. There are a lot of hours on here, about 15 and I was hoping to try and get about 3 hours per DVD is this possible?
Thanks
Tom

If you're referring to a video DVD which will plan on a TV set via a DVD player then a single layer DVD disk can hold 120 minutes of playing time which includes the basic material and any animated menus in the project.
A double layer disk can hold 240 minutes.
If you are creating a data disk with the files copied to it then its a matter of grouping the files into batches of either slightly less than 4.7 GB for single layer and 9.4 GB for double layer.
if you're referring to video DVD discs follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

Both accounts are completely independent from each other. In order to use the space that you have purchased for your secondary account, you must change it to become your primary account. Yes, as you said, services like photo stream only work with the primary account. Unfortunately, there is no comfortable way to just transfer data from one account to another one, but you can do it via a third party application e.g. via Dropbox: e.g. for photos: photos stored with your current primary account > manual transfer to dropbox > after you made your secondary account to the primary account, transfer the photos back to your new primary account etc.

Can't open PDF's on my Mac coming in on MS Outlook 2010. Reinstalled Adobe software 4 x and still get "Adobe PDF Preview Handler" error message.

No. Reader will not damage files. It is only meant to read pdf files. PDF files are frequently damaged when sent as email due to encoding issues.

Outlook 2010/2013 clients, outside of our main office, can't connect to our Exchange 2010 server

Hi,
Our remote users had been connecting to our Exchange server at our office since the Exchange server was installed in 2011.
Starting last Wednesday, Outlook 2010/2013 clients, outside of our main office, can't connect to our Exchange 2010 server. Outlook kept asking for a username and a password. At the same time, entries of Event 4625 were generated on the Event
log on out Exchange server.
Events 4625 has the following properties, "Logon Type: 3", "Failure Reason: An Error occured during Logon.", "Status: 0xc000006d", "Logon Process: NtLmSsp", and "Authentication Package: NTLM".
By the way, I had used a laptop to test this problem. Its Outlook work fine ion the main office, but it won't work outside of our office.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks.
Johnnie :(

I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??

Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant. If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

Just the name? Don't ever recall that being a feature. However, for Mail and Messages (and a few other apps): Settings app > General > Text Size

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,
