Outlook for Mac 2011 14.3.2 person search incorrect
Person search requires middle name
When connected to my enterprise environment Exchange server, why do I have to know a person't middle name to search for them?
If I want to search for the user whose full name is "Bob Anders Johnson" without the knowledge of their middle name, on pretty much any other search system, you can type in:
"Bob Johnson" and results will arise including the desired result.
"Bob" produces all Bob X X names. There's about a hundred... too many!
But if I type in "Bob Johnson" no results... as it's trying to match a middle name of Johnson. WTF?!?!
I guess if I'm crafty, I could search for the last name, but that's silly if there's a lot of Johnsons, as there would be no way to hone the search after typing in the last name...
I don't know Bob's middle name, why does Outlook & Exchange require me to?
Hi RDW4,
I'm researching the issue and will update it soon.
By the way, you can also seek the solution in the Outlook for Mac forum:

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
CheersHi,
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.
More details about it, for your reference:

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.

ICloud working with Outlook for Mac 2011
For work purposes I use a Mac Air, with Outlook for Mac 2011, and my company's email runs on an Outlook server. I'm not going to have any choice about using Outlook.
I've set up my home calendar (on iMac) and want to use iCloud to synchronise between my various devices.
My iPhone can show both my work calendar and my home calendar. But on the Mac where i am running Outlook for Mac i dont seem to be able to add the second calendar.
Looking at older discussions (2011, 2012) it seems there were ways to use iCloud and synchronise with Outlook on a Windows machine, but not on a Mac using Outlook. Is that still the case or is there a way I can now do this?Microsoft have still not updated Outlook for Mac to support the cross-platform, industry-standard calendar and contact protocols iCloud (and many other similar services) use.
You won't be able to use iCloud with Outlook for Mac, except for email.
Read: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915
There's nothing to stop you using the Apple calendar and contact apps for your personal iCloud data, and Outlook for your work data though. Or you could just setup your work accounts in the Apple apps, which do support Microsoft Exchange. -

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.

Want to use Outlook for Mac 2011
Hello!
I want to use Outlook for Mac 2011 for my calendar, email, and contacts on my Macbook Air, iPhone 6, and iPad Air. Is this possible to sync with all these devices with this program? I am more organized with Outlook than using the different Apple programs. It has more options.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.If you have outlook on all 3 devices, should be okay. However, I am suggesting you to probably try the Apple's and get used to it as you are using all notebook, phoneme and tab with Apple. Might save you some money with that.

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,

Dear Sirs,
I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks. After doing so, I noticed the following changes:
1) My MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes.
2) My iPhone4s does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes anymore.
Please help, thank you.
aawwiiCorrect, USB local sync was taken away from iphones and ipads with 10.9.1 and 2. We are not allowed to speculate on rumours it might come back in 10.9.3 plus new iTunes. Either wait and see or explore Syncmate 5 beta free trial.
icloud still works.
Cant help with the Outlook problem. -
I just migrated one macbook Pro to another both using OS X 10.8.5. When I try to open Outlook I get an error message that says "This identity cannot be opened with this version of Outlook".
It worked and still works fine in the original machine and Word & Excel work fine in the new machine, but not outlook. I tried removing Outlook for Mac 2011 and reinstalling but I get the same error message.
Any ideas out there?Or better yet, start using mac mail. I went back and forth between the two for year, and without getting into specifics or details I went back to mac mail and never looked back. Simple and does everything it supposed. Mac version outlook got stripped of a lot of functionalities that the pc version includes. With rare fixes, updates, and frequent problems between lost mail, corrupt identity files and mail which hangs up during the sent process just shows you that they half as*ed the mac version of outlook. Save your frustration and switch.

Additional file size is added to my PDF when attaching it to an email in Outlook for Mac 2011
I'm generating PDFs from Adobe Pro X. I have a 7.23MB PDF file that becomes a 9.8MB PDF file when attached to an email.
I'm trying to keep the file size as small as I can - why is the extra size added to the PDF?
I'm on an IMac, using Outlook for Mac 2011 and Adobe Acrobat Pro X/Indesign CC to generate the PDFs. This isn't an isolated issue, it happens when I attached word documents as well and is extremely annoying!
Looking forward to hearing from anyone out there (desperately!)One thing to check.

Outlook acts as if I am pressing a dummy button.Hi friends,
I have the same problem.
Mountain Lion + Office 2011 + Safari 6.1.2 (8537.74.9)
It is not clear to me what is the relation between Safari and this problem.
I have Chrome installed as well and it is set as default browser. Is this involved?
If yes how can I solve the problem?
Please let me know.
Many thanks.

Aperture 3 and Outlook for Mac 2011
Is Apple going to update Aperture 3 so that Outlook for Mac 2011 can be selected as an alternate e-mail client?
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.

How can i sync mac address book w/ outlook for mac 2011
Is it possible to have the address book in Outlook for Mac 2011 sync w/ the Mac address book? I cleaned up my contacts in the Mac address book expecting the changes to show up in my outlook address book. Made over 200 changes that did not show up on the Outlook address book. Seems like there should be a way to make this work. If I add contacts from within Outlook, I'd like them to show up on all my devices. MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to this platform as I was a PC guy for the last 30 years.
I've got Outlook up and running just fine. Still have the problem with getting duplicate emails but I'm waiting on MS to get a fix for that in an update. Apparently that has been an ongoing issue. I've been in contact w/ a senior MS Outlook tech on that. I guess I'll just have to make sure that all contact adds/edits are done in Outlook. Then I can sync my phone or iPad and get the cloud to update the other Apple devices off that sync. Either that or figure out how to export from the Mac address book to the Outlook address book once in a while.
