Deactivate reminders of shared calendars

13. September 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , ,
Hello!

Does anyone know a convenient way to deactivate notifications/reminders for entries within shared calendars (only)?

I only found the option for default reminders which is inconvenient since people would have to manually set it for their own calendar events all the time.

Any advice appreciated.

Bye, jan

Calendar Event Viewing in Outlook 2011

26. August 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , ,
I had an older version of Outlook (for a PC) that allowed me to view upcoming calendar events on the right hand side of my inbox.  Currently I'm using Outlook 2011 for Mac, and I'm unable to find this setting.  Is it possible; if so - how?  Thanks!

I've moved to a new laptop with the migration assistant in Applications/Utilities. Outlook is only able to search for emails, calendar events etc from the date i moved to the new laptop. Nothing before. How do i get outlook to search the entire email, calendar etc  base?

Messed up Outlook 2011 Calendar after importing Entourage 2008

28. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , , ,
I just recently updated to Office 2011 from Office 2008.  While the import of Entourage data was relatively clean, I end up with nearly ALL of my calendar events tied to my old Entourage calendar.  If I uncheck the Entourage calendar most appointments disappear.  In addition, all new appointments entered into Outlook 2011 end up as an Entourage event.

In very short order I want to totally remove Entourage (and the rest of Office 2008) from my Mac but am now unsure what will happen to all my calendar events.

So, my questions:
1.  How do i get the Entourage entries to appear as Outlook entries?
2. How do I get new appointment entries to NOT appear as Entourage events?
3.  What happens to the Entourage events if/when I get rid of Office 2008 (including the identities - which, of course, I will back up)?

Thank you

Do I actually still need Sync Services enabled in Outlook 2011 on OSX Lion?

I started noticing lots of (read: over 25000!) duplicated calendar events in the last weeks (a few events with up to 2500 copies!) which made Outlook 2011 and my iPhone totally unresponsive.  This was probably the result of having a mixed setup of iCloud / MobileMe / Exchange 2010 / Local calendars etc.

I finally got rid of the duplicates on my Exchange 2010 account  (I used http://www.vaita.com/ODIR.asp  on Outlook 2010 PC) leaving about 900 events, and cleared the local and iCloud/Mobile Me events (so I only have entries in Exchange 2010),  but I'm wondering now if I actually still need to enable Sync Services in Outlook 2011 (I'm running v. 14.2.2 atm), on OSX Lion 10.7.4 at all?

iCal (+Tasks/Reminders) and the Apple Address Book seem to have decent support for Exchange 2010 out of the box (via Apple System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars), so why should I enable the Sync Services in Outlook 2011 still?  It's a pretty confusing option. 


I decided to reinstall Outlook 2011 and started syncing mail and the de-duplicated calendars again from the Exchange 2010 server (while keeping Sync Services disabled), but now I notice these types of errors showing up for probably the majority of my calendar entries:

ERROR:
An error occurred while updating the calendar event "*TITLE*"
  
DETAILS:
Please delete this event and create a new event.

Error code: -19126


I double checked some events which generated the error, but at first sight they simply look correctly synced in Outlook 2011.  So why these error messages?
