Outlook 2011 for Mac syncing with OSX Yosemite

Hi All
One major thing holding me back from updating to Mavericks and Yosemite is the seeming lack of support for syncing between Office 2011 for mac and the mac address book/calendar etc. I've been down the road of internet based mail with gmail and mac-mail but find them awful to use in comparison with Outlook. The functionality is not as good, simple things like capitalising first letters of sentences. Signatures look awful, fonts default etc etc and it just generally looks amateurish from the recipient end. I decided long ago to stick with Outlook 2011 but back then I could sync addresses, emails, contacts with address book and ical hassle free at the touch of a button. I am still running 10.8.5 on the office machine for this very reason and scared to update to Mavericks or Yosemite as I've done on my back-up machine and can see this no longer is supported. Can anyone help with this? I assume as it was once supported and now isn't its unlikely to be resupported. What should I do? I hate the idea of third party applications to get this to work. In the past this has lead to things being messed up and hours spent resetting. There was talk of Office for Mac 2014 but nothing seems to have materialised? Any thoughts/recommendations gratefully received...

I use Office 2011 on the Mac, and the absence of syncing contacts is a pain. For a while now I've use OS X Mail instead, which by and large handles Exchange email ok. Since Yosemite, my Mac email has gone downwards, so I'm not trying Airmail 2 which also has Exchange support and is a good deal more modern than Mac Mail. There is no sign of Microsoft ever updating Office for the Mac and catching up with three years of not updating Office 2011, apart from the occasional hint.
With Yosemite, Mail crashes, and looking at the log messages is having issues. I've done a clean install of Yosemite, and despite that still can't achieve stability. It may be me, or it may be Apple, hence the experiment with Airmail 2.
I have also not found any simple way to sync Outlook 2011 contacts with OS X Contacts in Mavericks or Yosemite.

Outlook 2011 for Mac Syncing with iPhone 5

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE:
Macbook Pro running OS X (10.8.2) - Mountain Lion
iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.1
Outlook for Mac 2011 (14.2.4)
I am coming from a PC that ran the most current Outlook and iTunes. Before I switched to my Macbook Pro I was able to input calendar items into Outlook on the PC and then plug my iPhone 5 into the PC and everything would sync accordingly. Ever since I switched over to Mac my Outlook calendar items will not sync.
THIS IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO:
Sync my Outlook calendar and contacts between my iPhone 5 & my Macbook Pro. It sounds simple but after reading almost every post possible I have come to a conclusion that I might have to switch back to my PC for such a simple problem.
Can anyone with this same problem help me with success?
If not is there anyone that can suggest any other way that I can have everything synced up? I have tried icloud but I don't want everything in the cloud.
Thank you in advanced.

Outlook 2011 for Mac: Occurrence with this index was previously deleted from the recurrence

Client using Outlook 2011 (14.2.4) with Mac OS 10.8.2.
I've never seen this error before, and it keeps popping up (next to the classic yellow triangle with exclamation point -- I'd post screenshot, but forum isn't letting me.) The message doesn't seem to be related to any specific action.)
Exact text is: Outlook 2011 for Mac: Occurrence with this index was previously deleted from the recurrence.
Any assistance is very much appreciated.

Unfortunately this did not work for me. There is absolutely nothing in my Drafts folder to be deleted. I'm sure the problem is calendar-related but there is nothing to delete or fix. I ran the Database Utility and it didn't find anything wrong. So I'm stuck
getting an alert "beep" every 8 minutes from Outlook.
EDIT: OK, so you have to look in "Outbox", not "Drafts". And the "Outbox" does not always appear in the sidebar. When mine finally did (not sure what made it show up, but it may have been me enabling logging), I was able to
delete the offending message.

Does anybody know if there is an issue with the Calendar not syncing with iCloud. Everything in Outlook will sync using iCloud except the Calendar.iCal has no issue, just Calendar from Outlook.

Outlook 2011 for Mac Sync

I purchased a Q10 several weeks ago and still cannot get it to sync with my Outlook 2011 for Mac. I have installed the latest update to Blackberry Link but as was the case when I first tried the calendar and contact sync section is greyed out. I can sync it with a Windows PC with no problems but I really need it to sync with the data on my Macbook Pro.
I would appreciate knowing whether this is even possibe or what I might be doing wrong. I am running OSX 10.8.5.
Thanks

two ways of doing this, you could try http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2452489, or drag each individual calendar event into iCal. You can't do multiple items has to be one... at... a... time.

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.

Outlook 2011 for mac calendar and iPhone 6 sync

Dear All,
Actually this is very simple question. But unfortunatelly nobody ( Apple and MS side ) answered me clearly.
So i want to be sure that there is "no way" to synchronize the Outlook 2011 for Mac "Calendars" with my iPhone6 via iTunes or any other way.
This was possible old iTunes before, but the new iTunes and Yosemite are not give this chance. So why ? what happened ?
Please tell me "clearly" IF there is a way. and please specify one by one.
Thank you very much.

Sync calendar with Outlook 2011 for Mac

How do I sync my Apple calendar and contacts with Outlook 2011 for Mac?

Well considering it's a Microsoft product you are having trouble with you can either post to the iCloud forum or you can post to the Office for Mac Product Forums.

Sync Notes in Outlook 2011 for Mac with BB Q5

As per KB27248, Notes in Outlook 2011 for Mac are not synced with BB devices running OS7 (although Contacts, Calendar & Tasks sync), & the issue hasn't been resolved.
Does this issue exist on Q5 running OS10?

Hey hpujary.
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
At this time, only contacts can be synchronized with BlackBerry Link software and a BlackBerry 10 Smartphones. The functionality to provide more options for PIM synchronization may be added in the future. I cannot say for certain that the issue outlined in KB27248 is resolved for BlackBerry 10 Smartphones as the functionality does not exist to confirm.
Cheers.

How do you sync iCloud (contact, calendar, task) to outlook 2011 for Mac? and how do you make seemless sync between iCloud to Outlook 2011 to Blackberry device or an iPad?

I have three device: Macbook Pro (OSX 10.7.5) for work; an iPad and a Blackberry for mobile. I used mail, iCal, and Address Book combine with mobileme (iCloud) to exchange data such as contact, calendar and task from my Mackbook Pro to my iPad but never to Blackberry. The problem is my boss was asking me to change to Outlook 2011 for Mac because some of the email that I sent from Mail did not appear in my client's Blackberry. So how do you sync iCloud (contact, calendar, task) to Outlook 2011 for Mac? and how do you make seemless sync between iCloud to Outlook 2011 to Blackberry device or an iPad?
Best regards,

Using Outlook 2011 for mac and syncing blackberry very slow

I just bought 2 pcs of Mcabook pro. one for me and second for my cousin. we both have same office usage.i have installed office 2011. i use contacts / events / tasks of outlook and sync it with my blackberry curve. previously i was using Windows OS and i am so much used to it with its easy functionalities. Since last 15 days i have not done any work in my office as all time i am just involved in setting up one or another thing in my Macbook. i am really so much fed up and frustrated that i am thinking of switching back to Windows. i have some current issues like
Airport disconnects automatically anytime. after then i have to restart the system that is the only way. it shows as connected but i dont find my home network or internet. after restarting it works !!! it happens 4-5 times in a day...
Sync with blackberry is very slow. i do have Approx 2500 contacts / 300 tasks and 10-15 events. but it takes approx 10 times more time than i was doing with Windows.
in the blackberry desktop manager there is only one option of syncing i.e. Two way sync. what if i only want to transfer data from Macbook to Blackberry or from Blackberry to Macbook?
data sync is not perfect also. every time some entries goes missing.
i want to use ical for events and tasks.. but i dont find List view for events which is not convinient.
i have my e mails in Outlook 2011 for mac. what if i want to transfer my mail to mail for mac?
i will be obliged if anyone can help and show that my INR 70000.00 * 2 is not wasted... Frustrated Really...

Good luck with that.
You're not going to like this answer, but you should let Exchange be your e-mail system. Move off Gmail to Exchange on-premises or Online.
