When I drag .ics files into Outlook for Mac 2011, only the all-day events show up. It won't show part-day events.

I'm attempting to copy events from the Calendar app on my MacBook pro to the Outlook 2011 calendar. When I drop and drag the .ics files to Outlook, it accepts the information, but only shows all day events. I've tried changing events in Calendar to all day, then create the .ics file then drop and drag to Outlook, and even that doesn't work. Is anyone else having that problem? Has anyone found a solution for this?

Is Macintosh HD2 an external or internal HD? If it is external be sure in Finder > Preferences > General External disks is checked. Similarly in Findeer > Preferences > Sidebar be sure External disks is checked. If it is a second internal HD do you see it in Disk Utlitiy or System Report?

Importing a pst file into Outlook for Mac

As soon as I start importing a pst file (from Outlook 2003) into Outlook for Mac 2011 I receive the following message in a pop-up window: "Microsoft Outlook has encountered a problem and needs to close."
Can anyone advise what I should do next. This is the only hassle I've had in migrating from MS to Mac.
Thank you!

There is a Office for Mac Product Forums I'd recommend posting there because they have more experience with Microsoft products than most do on this forum.

HT4489 I'm unable to open vCard exported from MS Outlook for Mac (2011) which adheres all requirements.

I'm unable to open vCard exported from MS Outlook for Mac (2011) which adheres all requirements.

vCards exported from Outlook are not compatible with iCloud if that's what you're trying to import it to. You'll have to do something like create a Gmail account, then export your Outlook contacts to Gmail (see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/export-outlook-contacts-to-google -gmail-HA001148902.aspx), then export the contacts from Gmail as a vCard (see https://support.google.com/mail/answer/24911?hl=en) and import it to iCloud (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605).

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 doesn't sync with Outlook for Mac 2011

Any help would be appreciated...
I've got a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.3), iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
I use Office/Outlook for Mac 2011. The email is fine, but I can't figure out how to get contacts and calendar to sync with iPhone & iPad using iCloud...
Is there a way to use iCloud to sync contacts and calendars across all devices?
Thanks in advance for your help!

There is no way to use iCloud Dav services (contacts and calendars) in Outlook 2011 as Outlook does not support Dav services.
Use a client that supports Dav if you want to use iCloud.

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.
Password – Mail keeps asking for Password
Try running Keychain First Aid and resetting the original keychain.

HT4864 My outgoing email as stopped working when using Outlook for mac 2011. Any suggestions?

My outgoing email as stopped working when using Outlook for mac 2011. I have deleted and reinstalled the account twice. I have 11 gig free on my iCloud account. The outgoing server is set at smtp.mail.me.com using port 587. If I was able to reinstall the account, I am positive I have the correct password. I can log into my iCloud accout using the same credentials.
Any suggestions?

I called Microsoft to fix my problem...for those maybe having the same issue, I was told by the Tech to use this outgoing server setting - p06-smtp.mail.me.com
All is working fine since doing so.

HT1386 When I sync outlook for mac 2011 calendar to iPhone the dates are repeated?

When I sync outlook for mac 2011 calendar to iPhone the dates are repeated?

OK, I think I figured it out, with Apple's iCloud instructions and a little help from campus tech support. This only applies to people using Outlook with Microsoft Exchange.
Enable iCloud on your computer (running Lion) and your iPhone. http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
Then go to your iPhone's Mail icon, click on Add Account > Microsoft Exchange and enter your login info.
Doing this transferred my work email and calendar to my phone wirelessly.

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.

How to sync Address Book TO Outlook for Mac 2011

I am using the native Address Book from Mac OS 10.7.5 and need to keep using it because it syncs with my iPhone. However, I am using Outlook for Mac 2011 and want the contacts to synch from Mac Address Book to Outlook's contact list.
Synch services have been turned on in Outlook.
Originally, I was going to switch to Mac Mail but discovered that importing mail from Outlook is a headache (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664208?start=0&tstart=0). Outlook works well and has for years so rather than going through a bunch of manual drag and dropping of folders to make mbox files, or buying software to do it, I thought getting the contacts to synch would suffice since that's all that's really needed.
What I discovered is that Outlook will feed new contacts to Mac Address Book when they are generated in Outlook but the Mac Address Book does not feed new contacts to Outlook if they were generated in Address Book. Is this even possible? If so, how?
Thanks,
Karen
I read this previous thread but it talks about contact info going FROM Outlook to Address Book instead of the other way around: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664208?start=30&tstart=0

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.

Convert mails from apple mail to outlook for mac 2011

Hello,
need to convert mails from apple mail to outlook for mac 2011. have gone through Imap procedure and am tired of transferring mails manually coz there are thousands of'em. can anyone suggest any simple solution to this problem?
thanks.

Create a IMAP account (GMAIL icloud etc.)
add account to Apple mail and Outlook 2011
Drag emails into a folder on the imap server and then go back to Outlook 2011 and drag the emails from the imap into your email. and your done all your emails
are there.
There are third party tools available now-a-days for this kind of problems and they are pretty useful. You have just to select the files from the apple mail
that you want to convert and your mails are transferred within no time.

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,

Trouble transferring email to Outlook for Mac 2011

I purchased a new iMac and Office for Mac 2011. I have years of Outlook email history to transfer over, which the folks at the Apple Store said would work, no problem. That hasn't been the case. None of my .pst files from Outlook (2003, for PC) will transfer correctly. It seems that about half the email is missing. Have tried importing just small pst files with less than 100 emails, that won't work either. I've seen this problem discussed on multiple forums, but haven't seen a consensus developing as to the solution. I've tried creating a new identity in Office for Mac 2011, importing there, exporting to a .olm file, and reimporting to my main identity, and that didn't work either. Each solution has thousands of missing emails, but never the same ones. I can find no pattern, relating to whether there were attachments, older emails, new emails, etc.
I know this is being discussed in various forums, but I'd like to ask whether anyone has any new ideas? Or, it would be great to know if ANYONE has successfully been able to complete this kind of transfer to Outlook for Mac 2011, or whether it's happening to everyone who tries.
Thanks...

We've had problems importing Outlook 2003 and earlier >PST files into Outlook 2011 due I think to the ANSI format of the PST file.
One option is to get a 30 day trial of Outlook 2010 for your PC, create a new PST file in 2010 and import your 2003 PST into it. Then the PST will be Unicode and Mac Outlook 2011 should be able to import this PST.

Cant sync iphone calander to outlook for mac 2011 on Imac?

cant sync iphone calander to outlook for mac 2011 on Imac?

yes, I checked.
You know what the configuration file for this setting? It all started when I replaced the folder "Office 2011 Identities" with that of the old MAC!
In fact, if I create a new account everything returns to normal but I need to work with my account!

When I drag .ics files into Outlook for Mac 2011, only the all-day events show up. It won't show part-day events.
