14.3 – Beach ball when attaching files to a new email or pasting a picture into a Word doc

01. February 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
I installed the 14.3 update yesterday. Ever since then, whenever I create a new email in Outlook then click the Attach icon on the toolbar, I get a Mac beachball and Outlook locks up.

Word and Excel are both active as well and they continue to work normally. However, when I try to paste a picture from a file into my Word document, I get the same error!

It seems as if the new update has a problem interacting with the Mac file system and the Finder dialog.

Has anyone else running 14.3 seen this same problem???

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and now I'm having trouble with OUTLOOK and WORD freezing up ... I get the beach ball every 60 seconds.  Anyone else experiencing this?  If yes, what can we do about it?

The only thing I can think of that has changes recently is that I updated the Microsoft Error Reporting a couple days ago, but now on 2 different Macbook Pro's (both running Mountain Lion), Outlook freezes with the beach ball.   If I wait several minutes it eventually unfreezes, but since email is critical, its very frustrating.  I've noticed this behaviour on 2 different machines today.   Both are connected to an Exchange server and multiple IMAP server as well.   Any ideas?

Spinning Beach Ball on New Message

I am using Outlook 2011 on a 27" IMac 16Gb ram.  I5 processor.  Mt. Lion. (this was happening with Lion as well)

I go to write a new email or even respond to an email message.  Once the window opens and I begin to type I get the spinning Beach Ball for sever seconds.  I can continue to type and once the beach ball goes away my typing will appear.  I have rebuilt my profile in Outlook and have also created a new profile and the same issues happen.  I am connected to Exchange 2007.  I am the head of IT and no other issues from any other use has been reported this just happens to me.   I am also the only user on the network that is using a Mac all other users are using windows.

I have talked to Apple and this can not find any issues with my system that would be causing this behavior.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as this has been driving me crazy for the last 9 months.

Thank you
