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

Identity error after installing Office 2011 (Could not change to that identity)

25. June 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,

I am installing Home and Business 2011 on a MacBook Air (10.6.8). The machine has Entourage 2008 on it and is connect to Exchange 2003 Server. I want to install Office 2011 and not use any of the Entourage data. In fact I will point it to Exchange online. However after I have installed Office 365, I get the error "Could not change to that identity. An unknown error has occurred in Outlook.

 

I have tried pressing alt and opening outlook and rebuilding the database however it will not go pass step 1.

 

I have managed to get this work in another Mac however this one and another get the error. The version of Office 2011 is 14.2.2 right out of  the box.

 

 

Thanks
