Unable to open personal contact list Outlook 2010

Error when opening a personal contact list. To my knowledge it has not been edited in a newer version of Outlook as we all use Outlook 2010. Even tried restoring from 6 month old backup when it was supposed to have worked. Any ideas how
to get past this?
Error:
this contact group has been edited with a newer version of outlook and contains too many members to display.

Well. Does the DL have more than 5000 contacts in it? If so, that may cause a problem due to Exchange's 5000 recipient limit for sent emails.
Where is personal distrubution list stored in your scenario? Stored in OST and sync with mailbox, or backup in the local PST file?
If other contact groups and contacts can be opened just fine, it seems the issue may occur if the problematic contact groups is corrupted itself.
You can take a chance to open it via MFCMAPI tool. If it even cannot be open, I think it cannot be recovered unless we do a single mailbox recovery.

Unable to open personal folder default

Recently, Microsoft Outlook displays a message "Unable to open personal folder default", pressing buttons <OK> outlook closes. But if you move the Outlook.pst file when you start outlook can't find a personal folder file, and asks for help.
Shows him to move files and outlook works fine, but before the first shutdown. Then, after another run outlook again it can not open the personal folders used by default. Maybe try some pst file reader? Tried to reinstall the office - nothing.

Re-establish my icloud contacts in Outlook 2010 on Win8.1Pro

I had icloud contacts in Outlook 2010 on Windows 8 and it worked fine. When I upgraded to Win 8.1 the other cloud features work but my icloud contacts tab in outlook 2010 contacts is now empty. When I click on it it says,"The set of folders could not be opened, the information store could not be opened."
I can see the all my contacts from the icloud control panel, but I'd rather have them in Outlook like they were. What can I do to re-establish this link in Win8.1 Pro?

Found the answer, finnaly!!

Need help getting contacts from outlook 2010

I need help getting my contacts from outlook 2010 to icloud and/or my iphone. I have icloud up and logged in on pc. when I go to a contact to import it says there was a problem reading the vcard. any help is welcomed.

I do have the latest version of DTM and working with OUTLOOK 2000. I know it is old, but it still does what I need it to. I did try to uninstalland reinstall. No luck. The only options listed to sync are yahoo, outlook express, and ASCII inport/export. Obviously it is not syncing my other data either, but it is my contacts that I am most concerned with at this point. The calader would be nice too! Any other suggestions, or is my outlook too old to sync?

Hi,
We can try to export the Suggested Contacts from Outlook 2010, and then convert them into .NK2 file with the NK2Edit tool.
To export the Suggested Contacts, open your Outlook 2010, click File > Open > Import > select
Comma Separated Values (Windows) > select
Suggested Contacts > follow the wizard to finish the exporting.
For the NK2Edit, you can easily find it by searching in your internet explorer.
For more information, please have a look at this thread:

Hope this helps.

Block personal contacts to outlook?

I have the emails from my outlook office getting into my blackberry, so all the contacts I have in my laptop outlook appears on the regular contacts in my blackberry and vice versa.
Of course I have entered in the address book of my blackberry other personal phone contacts that I dont want them to appear in the outlook contacts at my laptop.
How can I do that? I know that the contacts can be classified as personal or bussiness, and filter them in the contact list either way, but qhat I want is the personal contacts to not be showed on the outlook at my PC, only on my blackberry. And the outlook contacts showed in both of them. is this possible?
Thanks,

delete the personal contacts in Outlook.
set them with category = personal on the device.
do the sync.

I really need this function!
Hopefully Adobe couldn't solve this problem in future version!
PDFs are designed to be a FInal file format. They are never intended to be edited in anyway.
Adobe don't support this function for many reasons.
InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop or any other Adobe product is not a multi-purpose PDF editor and you shouldn't be opening a PDF in Illustrator or Photoshop unless that PDF was specifically made with those programs.
To open a PDF in InDesign you need specialist software as mentioned above.
The correct workflow is to edit the existing InDesign document.
If you don't have that original InDesign document, then you need to recreate it from the start.
If you don't want to do that - then you need to buy the software that Converts the PDF to InDesign.

Searching contacts in Outlook 2010 results do not include Public Folders

When searching for contacts in Outlook 2010, connected to Exchange 2010, Public folders are excluded under "All Contact Items", however if changed to "Current Folder" in the scope of the ribbon bar, results are there instantly.
Operating Outlook in Cached mode with the download public folder favorites option checked.
I am not able to locate an option so that the public folders are searched at the same time contacts are searched. Can you help?

Public folder and your "current folder" is located in different folders against different mailboxs.
Search in "Current folder" will only return the result of contacts in current folder, but search in Seach > Options > Search Folders > "Find Public folders" will get the result of contacts in All public folders by default.
If you want to get the both of public folders and the specify contacts folders, please use Advanced Find and browse the certain folder.

I am unable to sync my contacts from outlook in xp to my ipad 3 have followed all instructions without success. Can any one help

Sync the photos back to the iPad using iTunes. You have to place the photos into a folder from which you sync photos. All photos that you want to sync to the device must be included in the main photos folder and selected to sync each time that you sync.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Click on the Sync Photos From heading in order to select it.
Select the photos folder that you want to sync from.
Select all of the albums or photos within the folder that you want to sync.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
