Unable to Share Outlook Task Folder

I am able to share my task folder with one other office worker. But three others I've tried cannot accept the sharing offer. The button in the sharing message to open/accept the share is grayed out for them. After I send the offer, I can see these individual
listed in the Properties-->Permissions tab and confirm they have been given at least Read permissions. I've also made sure that I've only shared the task folder with one individual at a time in case the folder can only be shared with one person at a time
(althought that doesn't sound like a reasonable constraint to enforce).
We all have the same setup: Windows 7, Office 2010, using Microsoft Exchange Server. At least one of the three individuals was able to share their task folder with me.
This question was first posted to Outlook.com and was advised to move it to Office.
Moved post to Office and advised to move it to ExchangesrvClients.

Hi,
From your description, I recommend you follow the steps below to open shared task and check the result.
Open Outlook -> Tasks -> Folder -> Open Shared Tasks
Hope this can be helpful to you.

Problem with share calendar/tasks/notes on outlook 2010

Hello,
The problem I have is with outlook 2010 and 2007 that connect to Exchange 2013 ( The problem happening outside the domain)
When I am trying to share calendar/tasks/contacts I get this massage " Error while preparing to send sharing message"
After testing it's a lot I have figured out that the problem is with the some updates.
I found when I removed some updates I can share everything without any problem.
The updates I removed are:
KB2837597
KB2553248
KB2553406
KB2687623
KB2794707
KB2553406
And Office 2010 Service Pack 2
There is any Hotfix/Solution to fix this problem without uninstalled this updates?

Hi,
Do other features in Outlook work well? Like viewing free/busy information or opening other’s folder that shared to you? Receive/send messages? Access OOF? Please check these.
Please run Test Email AutoConfiguration to check your autodiscover service and Exchange web service. If all configured properly, we can create a new Outlook profile to have a try.

Can you convert the Outlook 2010 Tasks folder to PDF?

Hi All,
Please can you let me know how to convert the Outlook 2010 Tasks folder to PDF? When I select "Convert Selected Folders" from the PDFMaker Add-In in Outlook the Tasks folder is greyed out.
Is this because PDFMaker doesn't support this? If not, is there another way to convert the Tasks folder to PDF?
Cheers

Hello hillsmeister,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
If it is Acrobat version 10 and later, then only PDFMaker application would be compatible with Outlook 2010.
Try converting some other mails to Adobe PDF and check if the same issue persists.
Please let me know.

Is there a way to get an apple mail folder exported to outlook mail folder structure? I'm using Gmail on my IMAC and have a PC for work. Want to share folder structure between systems.

Is there a way to get an apple mail folder exported to outlook mail folder structure? I'm using Gmail on my IMAC and have a PC for work. Want to share folder structure between systems.

Use following steps to import apple mail to outlook:
Choose Mailbox->Export Mailbox, or choose Export Mailbox from the Action pop-up menu
Choose a folder or create a new folder where you want to store the exported mailbox.
Outlook for Mac: Choose File->Import Mailboxes. Select the mail application you want to import messages from.
If it does not work then you should use third party apple mail to pst applications. You can easily search in Google about these applications.

Hi Ronny,
Please re-add the shared task folder by the following steps to have a try:
1. Open Outlook and navigate to Task pane.
2. Click Folder tab on the Ribbon.
3. Click Open Shared Tasks.
4. Click Name to select user who shared this folder to you.
5. Click OK to open the shared folder.
Then check whether the shared task folder can be opened correctly or not.

I have 2 auxillary disk drives for my MacBokk Pro. Time Machine uses one for backup and I use the other for storage, but I am unable to create a new folder or drag and drop files or folders to the aux drive.

I am unable to create a new folder on either of my auxillary disk drives. I can access the files and folders that were there when I transferred one of the drives from a PC. Time machine uses one for backup and I want to use the other to store photos which are large files. An help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. If I reformat the drive will I be able to access the files on it from the MAC. I do not share the drive with a PC. The files were originally created on a PC which I no longer use. I do want to continue to access the files put there by the PC. I would like to not have to copy them over to the MAC hard drive just to use them. The second aux drive is new and works fine because it was formatted by the MAC. I can drag and drop files there and work with just as if they were on the internal drive.

ICloud Tasks / Outlook Tasks

I am using iCloud for my iPhone 4S and synching with Outlook 2010 on a PC. After much searching I understand that iCloud tasks and calendars can not be made the defaults in Outlook so therefore they will not show up in Outlook Today or the To-Do bar. I have gotten around the appointment issue by copying my appointments from iCloud calendar to the outlook personal folder. I want to have my tasks show up on the To Do bar by copying the tasks from the iCloud folder to the Outlook folder. I can't find how to copy. I can move by simply dragging from one to the other. Does anyone know how to copy?

Press and hold the control key while dragging the task from iCloud tasks to Outlook tasks.

Why can't I arrange my iCloud tasks in Outlook like I can with my standard Outlook tasks?

Normally when I want to work a task tomorrow or next week or so, I can just drag the task to the appropritate area instead of having to open up the task and manaully change the date.
This works fine for my Outlook tasks unless it's from the iCloud. Why won't my tasks from iCloud do this?
Thanks,

I ended up fixing it. Here's what I did:
- Deleted the iCal preferences file (com.apple.ical.plist, in your library folder under your user name...not the main library folder)
- Rebooted
That seemed to unstick this, and my system then recognized the calendar option as selected for iCloud, and iCal worked fine.

Unable to create the temporary folder. Error 183 when starting Distiller

New information discovered - see end of message!
Full error message is (window title is Acrobat Distiller):
"Unable to create the temporary folder
Error: 183 - cannot create a file when that file already exists."
I have no idea what file or what folder it is referring to. This is on an x86 Vista notebook and the message comes up when starting the notebook and also if you manually start Distiller 8. Updating did not help, nor did turning off the UAC, or running Distiller as Administrator. In the latter case, Distiller will open correctly, but the next time you need to use it, it fails. With the UAC turned off, the behavior is for it to show the Distiller window for a fraction of a second and close immediately. I also gave the user full rights to the C:\Program Files\Adobe folder and lower. Made no difference.
Coincidental with this is that the PDFMOfficeAddIn.dll add-in will not enable in Word - when it is checked, and I hit OK, I get the message:
"The connected state of Office Add-Ins registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed."
All of this is going on when logged in as an administrator. I have seen folks post about this issue, but no answers that actually fiux the problem, just suggest what I have already tried. Anyone seen this one?
The user is highly mobile, so I am not going to have a chance to work on her computer again until next week.
NEW INFO
I tried removing and reinstalling as administrator and the problem remains. However while trying to troubleshoot, I discovered some more details.
The message is being thrown when acrotray.exe is started as a process in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Control Set\Run and then tries to run acrodist.exe (which fails, BTW). If I don't let it run there and run acrotray,exe as administrator, then acrodist.exe runs as a process without an error. Additionally, stopping it from running in the registry, and then starting MS Word, the Acrobat add-in does load and even though there is an error thown, it still creates the PDF! I have other Vista 32 notebooks running various Acrobat versions with no problems.
Another key thing I found out is that Acrobat started throwing the error after an HP Scanjet 8400 and its software were installed. I tried explicitly giving the user (already an administrator) full rights to the Acrobat, HP and Read IRIS directories. Did not help the problem. I have to think that there is some interaction there, but sure don't know what it is.

what i did to eliminate that error message, i don't think it eliminated th
e problem but now i can reboot and log in OK, was 2 things:
i went into my system registry and unchecked to start at startup and then disavled it.
i also had to go to each adobe icon, right click, go to properites, and than make all selections set to be administator.

Outlook tasks completed in iOS Reminders app regenerate 'orphaned' reminders endlessly in Outlook.

Our small business runs up-to-date (iOS 8) Apple devices that sync via MS Exchange with our email, contacts, reminders, etc.
I create a task in Outlook and include a reminder. The task and reminder sync to Reminders on my iPhone and iPad. When I mark a task complete on mobile, the reminder disappears there as it should... but it regenerates the reminder in Outlook! The Outlook task is complete, but the reminder pops up at the top of the list in the Outlook reminders pop-up window. Marking it complete there is an option, but it just regenerates a new reminder. The only way to remove this 'orphan' reminder is to dismiss the reminder or delete the task.
The iOS 8 Reminders app would be very useful but for this bug. It's even better that it puts my work tasks and home tasks (we use a Mac at home so no problem there) in one place. But as it is, the app is not a time saver, but a time-waster and a source of frustration.
Please advise!

I do not know the answerr. Ik also have same question

After upgrading to Yosemite, I am unable to share screen with Macbook Pro

After upgrading to Yosemite 10.10 on a 2008 MacBook Pro I am unable to "Share Screen" using my authorized user account. It worked fine before I upgraded to Yosemite.
I can access "Share Screen" by "requesting permission", but of course this doesn't work unless I am sitting right by the MacBook Pro to give myself permission, which defeats my original purpose for using "Share Screen".
I attempted to add another authorized "Share Screen" user account, but was unable to access the list of add "Groups and Users" on the host MacBook Pro from the "Share Screen" dialog box. The dialog box pops up, when I press "+" to add another user, but the list of users fails to appear. I assume the list of authorized users for screen share has somehow become corrupt.
All other ways to access "sharing user" accounts appear to be working properly. I can add and remove other "sharing users" without problems. For example, I can add a new authorized "file share" user and share files without problems.
I ran Disk Utility in Recovery Mode and normal mode and corrected all errors, and user permissions on both machines. I also ran "resetpassword" from Terminal in Recovery Mode and "reset" user permissions. I am not an experienced Terminal or Recovery Mode user though.
I also tried turning the Firewall off, to no avail.
I am attempting to access "Screen Share" on the MacBook Pro via a Macbook Air 13" manufactured mid 2013 also with Yosemite 10.10, however, I also attempted with an older MacBook Air which experiences the same problem.

Thanks for the idea but it did not work, I do not know why it is asking me for a password which I never needed before for a guest to use the computer? I have tried everything and I do not know which password it wants? I do not see any option for a password for the guest account, to create one or delete one or modify it? Maybe this bug\problem will be addressed in a future update?

How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?

Hi, here's a question:
How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?
The whole point being not to have to install all my apps, and move all my files each time between users.
The second thing would be to be able to modify one document on one account, and have it changed on the other account without having to copy it.
I would like to have a pro and a private account on my mac.
Thanks for you answers,
Doug

Your apps should not be installed in your home folder--they should be in /Applications where every user can access them.
If you want to share things between users on the same Mac, use the /Users/Shared folder. Keep your home folder private. Trying to defeat the protections on the home folder subfolders just gets messy. I've never bothered to figure out all of the problems associated with it so I can't explain how to do it.
Even with using Shared, you would need to alter the ACLs on the shared folder in order to allow both users to modify the documents.
You must create a Group in Users & Groups and put each user in that group. Then create a folder inside /Users/Shared where you want to share the various files.
Then, add an ACL to the shared folder that gives the group special permissions. on that folder.
sudo chmod -R +a "<sharinggroup> allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Users/Shared/<sharing folder>
Replace <sharinggroup> and <sharingfolder> with the name of your group and your folder. Then, run the command in the Terminal.
With that ACL, each user in <sharinggroup> will be able to alter the files created by any user in the group in that <sharingfolder>.
Essentially, the client OS is not designed for true file sharing among the individual users. It is designed to isolate each user account from the others.

Generating hashes for multiple shares in one folder using BranchCache Publish-BCFileContent -Path

When using Publish-BCFileContent to generate hashes for multiple shared directories that are all within the same parent directory, can I just specify the parent directory as the "-Path" parameter or do I need to run the cmdlet for each share
separately?
For example:
My file server has 3 separate shared folders:
E:\Shares\Documents
E:\Shares\Music
E:\Shares\Pictures
(E:\Shares is not directly shared)
To generate hashes for all 3 shared directories to export to a remote hosted cache computer could I run the Publish-BCFileContent cmdlet just once with just E:\Shares as the -Path parameter?
Publish-BCFileContent -Path E:\Shares -StageData
Or do I need to run the cmdlt 3 separate times as below?
Publish-BCFileContent -Path E:\Shares\Documents -StageData
Publish-BCFileContent -Path E:\Shares\Music -StageData
Publish-BCFileContent -Path E:\Shares\Pictures -StageData

Hi CharlesPool,
If there are only these three subfolders under the directory E:\Shares, you can try the cmdlet:
Publish-BCFileContent -Path E:\Shares -StageData -Recurse
Use the recurse parameter to specify that hashes are created for content in subfolders. If you do not use this parameter, then hashes are created only for content in the top folder and no hashes are created for content in subfolders.
If there are other folders under D:\Shares, you need to run the cmdlet separately, and you can also use the cmdlet foreach to loop every folders (E:\Shares\Documents, E:\Shares\Music, E:\Shares\Pictures):
$folders = "E:\Shares\Documents","E:\Shares\Music","E:\Shares\Pictures"
Foreach($folder in $folders){
Publish-BCFileContent –Path $folder –StageData}
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

How can I sync my Microsoft Outlook tasks with my Ipad reminders? I dont want to use Icloud or an exchange

How can I sync my Microsoft Outlook tasks with my Ipad reminders? I dont want to use Icloud or an exchange

Plug it into your computer. Tell it to sync with "this computer" instead of iCloud. You shouldn't have to remove any apps. Otherwise, you can save the app data by using i-FunBox ( http://www.i-funbox.com/ ) just go to the "devices" tab and select 'user applications' and select all of your apps and tell iFunBox to "copy to pc" you're done! You have them all backed up.
