Working with MobileMe and MS Office Entourage on iMac

I'm sure there are many users out there who, like me, are working with Entourage to manage their mail, so I'm hoping someone may be able to explain what I've seen occurring. I should start by saying that my understanding of email accounts and how they work is not good.
Since the switch to MobileMe, besides the many documented problems in the beginning, I've noticed a periodic situation where none of the current email in my Entourage inbox show up in my MobileMe screen. I frequently check my email on my computer at my home office before leaving for the office, and then use MobileMe on my work office PC to check my home office email. Sometimes I can view email (opened and unopened) several days in the past on MobileMe; and then sometimes - like now - I see no email on MobileMe except newly unopened email. Anyone understand what's happening here?
Also, does anyone understand why sent email responses that I send in MobileMe do not register anywhere in my Entourage email program at my home office? Is there a way I can fix this so that I have a hard drive record of these responses?
Thanks, anyone, for your help!
Chris

Turns out I had to abandon Outlook as my mail platform. It would be helpful if Apple would warn users more explicitly that certain commercially available and popular software is not only "unsupported", but ultimately incompatible with Apple software/hardware. Users assume if an Apple version exists, that it is sufficient to overcome compatibility problems. Certainly we don't get this info from the software manufacturers....

  • Memory Stick works with G4 and G3 but not G5 iMac

    I have a memory stick that connects correctly with a G3 iBook and G4 iMac but not a G5 iMac. When plugged into a G5 USB port, the memory stick appears on the desktop but not the Finder. Doubleclicking on the desktop icon generates a Finder window in which the memory stick appears in the second column from the left along with the other icons in the top half of the leftmost column. Clicking on the icon for the memory stick in that Finder window fails to open it. The File menu has a item for ejecting the memory stick, but ejection does not result. I have also tried without success to drag the icon to the trash. So I just physically remove it, which produces a message saying the device was not properly removed.
    Any ideas for enabling this memory stick (which has admittedly been through the wars) to work with the G5 iMac? Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestions, Charles.
    The G5 keyboard is Bluetooth so I've been plugging the memory stick into the back of the machine.
    I've repaired permissions on the G5. I tried to repair the memory stick in Disk Utility but elicited only the spinning beachball. As I was typing this I realized I hadn't tried repairing the disk (i.e., the memory stick) on another computer. I did, and after a few seconds the screen said no repairs necessary.
    The memory stick did eject the first time I plugged into the G5 after that. But the other problems remained. And then when I plugged it back in, it no longer ejected electronically. So I'm back where I was.

  • FaceTime no longer working with Yosemite and IOS 8.1

    I have used FaceTime flawlessly for some time with no issue.
    After I upgraded to Yosemite on my MacBookAir and IOS8.1 on 5S and iPad air, I've had a problem connecting.
    When I get a call, all the devices ring (as they should) but it will not connect on the first device I pick up on.  It says connecting
    but all the other devices keep ringing and finally it says I have a missed call.  The connection does not happen.  If I turn off
    all devices except one, it will work...... do we have a bug here??

    Thank you for responding to my issue.  I spent the better part of two hours trying to get this to work.  Bluetooth is enabled on all devices. Each computer is set in Preferences/General to allow Handoff.  All computers and iPhones are on the same WiFi network.  I toggled all of the major settings off and on.  Rebooted each of my computers several times. I finally conceded defeat.  Then my daughter asked to have a try at it.  She worked on the first MBP for about thirty minutes and informed me that she had gotten continuity to work.  And indeed, on her MBP late 2012 she is able to use the continuity features in both directions between her computer and her iPhone 6.  But it only works with Mail and Safari.  I asked how she accomplished this feat.  She said she turned off "everything" on her computer and iPhone (WiFi, Bluetooth, "Allow handoff" under Preferences/General) and then rebooted both the iPhone and the computer.  She then turned everything back on.  This worked for her.  So we tried the same thing on my MBP and iPhone 6.  Now continuity works partially. Email activity is mirrored on both the MBP and the iPhone regardless of which device initiates the continuity activity.  But Safari activity on the computer is mirrored on the iPhone but not in the opposite direction.  There is no continuity function for Pages in either direction.  The telephone connectivity works fine on all of my devices– 3 MBPs, Mac Pro, iPad Air, 2nd gen iPad and 3rd gen iPad.

    Hi ron1098,
    Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
    See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

  • Handoff not working with Yosemite and iOS 8

    I have three Macbook Pros in my household.  Two are mid 2012 models and the other a late 2012 model.  Each is supposed to support the handoff feature of Yosemite and ios8.  Everything seems to work properly between my daughter's late 2012 MBP and her iPhone 6.  But on the other two MBPs in our family the continuity feature does not work on either of them.  Receiving and sending calls works fine.  But the continuity does not work even though all three MBPs and all three iPhone 6 are on the same wifi network.
    I've tried all the suggestions that I could find.  Toggling off and on the various settings on the MBPs and the iPhones.

  • I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device.  But I have a Conceptronic router.  Will Time Capsule work with this and how?

    I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device.  But I have a Conceptronic router.
    1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
    2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
    3. Can I create a network and how?
    4.  What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
    I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical.  Any help / advice will be much appreciated.
    Ray

    The key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router.  I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
    You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule.

    Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want.

    Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.
    Thanks.

  • Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype.

    Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype. 
    Microphone works fine with Quictime on another mac, so I do know how to use it. The one where it is not working (A) had an external microphone and camera attached earlier, and indeed it does work with that external microphone, but not with the internal microphone selected; and (B) had RealPlayer installed previously.
    Any suggestions, please?

    Hi,

    Extract this driver with Winrar.
    Open Device manager and expand the Sound, video and game controllers section.
    Right click on Either the High Definition Audio Device if you have the generic Microsoft drivers, or the Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 if you have older Conexant drivers and choose "Update Driver Software..."
    Click Browse my computer for driver software, then click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
    Click "Have Disk..." then Browse to the folder where the drivers were extracted  .......\V64 for 64-bit Vista/Win7. Click OK.
    Select one of the "Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221" models in the list, there will be multiple identical entries.

  • Device not working with Log and Transfer in FCP

    I am trying to get some footage off my camera into final cut pro, but Final Cut Pro does not recognise my device when I try to use Log & Transfer
    The camera is question is a Cannon Legria FS20, here is a link
    http://www.canon.co.uk/ForHome/Product_Finder/Camcorders/flash_memory/LEGRIAFS20/
    I have looked around but can't seem to find any plug-ins to get it to work with Final Cut Pro, does anyone know any way I can get it to work with Log and Transfer
    Upon inspecting the hard drive, it saves video files in .MOD format with an .MOI file (which i assume is a metadata file
    How can I get it so that my device works with log and transfer?
    Thanks

    Hi -
    I did a little Google searching for information on your camera and it appears that it is a Standard Definition Camera that records in the MPEG-2 format.
    Log and Transfer only works with High Definition material.
    You will need to convert your video clips into a format that will work with FCP.
    I know nothing about working in PAL, but you want to download an free application called MPEG Streamclip from
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    This application will convert your MPEG-2 files into a format that you can use directly in FCP.
    Once you have converted the files to Apple DV-PAL, with the correct frame rate (25fps?) and field dominance you can either simply drag the converted files into FCP or import them using File > Import.
    Hope this helps.

  • Dear Apple's people, please note that "Lightning to 30 pin Adapter" don't work with iPhone5 and iPhone5s "Base Dock"  !!!!

    Dear Apple's people, please note that "Lightning to 30 pin Adapter" don't work with iPhone5 and iPhone5s "Base Dock"  !!!!

    Ho comprato un adattatore originale Apple "lighitning to 30 pin adapter" per poter usare i mei vecchi cavi dell'iPhone4 con il nuovo iPhone5.
    Se collego l'adattatore (con il vecchio cavo delliPhone4) direttamente all'iPhone5 , tutto funziona.
    Ma se collego l'adattatore (con il vecchio cavo delliPhone4) all'iPhone5 tramite la "base dock" , l'adattatore non viene riconosciuto e non funziona.
    Pensando che l'adattatore fosse rotto, ho riprovato con altri identici adattatori originali, ma il risultatato è lo stesso.
    Quindi penso che potrebbe essere un errore di progettazione della base dock che supporta unicamente la connessione diretta tramite un cavo lighning e non supporta la connessione se in mezzo c'è l'adattatore !!
