Sharing photos via Outlook for Mac 2011

I am using iPhoto 11 v 9.1.1 (527) and Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 v 14.0.2 (101115). I have Microsoft Entourage selected for "Email photos using" in the General Preferences dialog box (Outlook is not available as a choice).
When I attempt to share photos via Outlook email via:
Share> Email >Compose Message
I get the following error message:
Microsoft Outlook got an error: Can't make {subject:"8 great iPhotos"} into type property of draft window.
Is there some way to make this work so that I can share photos via e-mail using Outlook?
I know I can use the media browser, but that doesn't allow you to add captions, or to control the size of the image.
Thanks, Dave

Yes - as noted
If you search the forums some people report to have found a solution Request Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback and Microsoft address this issue permanently
At this time Outlook is not supported but some people have reported to find a hack to solve this - have you searched for the post?

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 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

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.
More details about it, for your reference:

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

I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011

Good morning,
I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011. Please....

It is possible to do this without external tools, but it is a tremendous faff. See
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/import-ema il-from-mail-to-outlook-2011/5e858173-e1f4-4adc-99d7-253cc467169d?page=2 for details.
The easiest way, however, is to use Mail Exporter Pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mail-exporter-pro/id675131616?mt=12 which will convert the email for you from one format to the other, and comes with an excellent manual.
A third possibility is to connect Apple Mail to an email account via IMAP (this doesn’t have to be your usual account, you can just create a Gmail account for the purpose) . Copy all the messages into it and they will be uploaded. Then connect Outlook 2011 to the same account, via IMAP again, and let the messages download, then copy them to wherever you want to keep them and disconnect from that account. This is slow but preserves the attributes of your email (e.g. read/unead) better than any other method.

ICal sync to Outlook for Mac 2011

I'm running Outlook for Mac 2011 on OSX 10.8.4. We have a hosted Exchange service for email and calendar sharing amongst colleagues (not all on Macs), this works fine as does sync to the Exchange accounts to/from mobile devices where we can all also have our private appointments displayed simultaneously. Any Exchange Calendar events also show up in iCal.
What I would really like is for any non-business events added in iCal on the iCloud account to show up in Outlook so I don't double-book from Outlook. The information I've read seems to suggest the lack of iSync in OSX 10.7 onwards is a problem, my questions is have I understood this correctly and does anyone know a way around this ?
Stuart

I'm afraid the answer is that you can't, because Microsoft have not provided it with the necessary protocols. This thread looks at it in some detail, including an official response from Microsoft:

Syncing my iPhone via USB cable and iTunes to Outlook 2011 syncs only my calender correctly to Outlook 2011. My iPhone contacts sync wit Apple's contacts, where I don't want them.

Outlook for Mac 2011 - need help please

Hello, running outlook for mac 2011 and trying to accomplish this. I want to flag emails for followup, then move them out of my inbox and into various subfolders, and then go to one central location and see all of my flagged emails and also see what folder they now reside in (via column heading). I can do that if I go to my tasks folder but I obviously also see my tasks in there and not just my emails. Is there a way to do what I am trying?

I suggest you post your question on the MIcrosoft Mac forums since it's their software you're having issues with.

Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 (14.2.3) keeps producing the spinning wheel after implementation of Mountain Lion.

Since I started using Mountain Lion MS Outlook for Mac 2011 has become very slow, it continues to show the spinning wheel at almost everything I do. It is almost unworkable this way. Does anyone know how to solve this?

You can try rebuilding your database via the Database Utility. Make sure Outlook isn't holding onto any other databases other than yours. Also, if you're using an Exchange account with Outlook, try and keep your inbox as clean as possible. Microsoft claims that your main boxes (Inbox, Sent, Deleted, Drafts) should be kept as small as possible, and you should use a folder structure outside of these folders if you intend on saving and organizing old emails.
Is this just an Outlook issue, or are you seeing the speed problem anywhere else?

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.

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.

I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks. After doing so, I noticed that my MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with the calendar/contacts/notes, thus, also not sync these info with my iPhone4s anymore. Please help, thank you.

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.
aawwii

Correct, 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.

Outlook for Mac 2011

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.
