Outlook for Mac 14.3.8 freezes Mac OS 10.8.5

15. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
Dear Forum,

I am using Outlook for Mac 14.3.8 (latest version) under Mac OS 10.8.5 (latest version) on a Macbook Pro Retina, Mid 2012.
I have been using Office for Mac on my Macbook happily for many months, but since about one month I have a serious problem.

Outlook will crash at random times, meaning I see the "spinning wheel", when clicking on the Outlook window. This alone would not be a tragedy, but I am unable to "Force quit" Outlook. Not only this, but soon after this all other active processes freeze as well! The only way to resolve the situation is to restart the macbook by holding down the power button.

I have contacted the Apple support, who suggested to clean the caches and to verify/repair the SSD hard disk. This has been done, but it has not solved the problem. And interestingly, the freezing occurs only when Outlook is running, so I would be tempted to exclude a hardware or OS defect.

Unfortunately I can not say what has triggered this issue (e.g. update of Outlook or update of Mac OS). 

I would be thankful for hints on how to investigate this problem in more detail. I have checked the Console, but found no entries that could be related to this.

Best regards,

Sync outlook 2011 with icloud on 10.8

I have read all the posts.  I see no longer syncs with iContacts and iCalendar with updated MAC OS.  Beyond silly.  Where are the apps or add-in? ANY options?

I also tried running Windows 8 with Office 2010 using Parallels... But email latency time was just horrific so trying to use all MAC ready software.

Need an option

I recently updated the Mac OS to version 10.8.1 (mountain lion) and the office reminders pulled all old calendar events and now I cannot remove them. Please help.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion OS (10.8.1) and now Office Reminders is repeating past calendar events and updating the calendars.  How do I cure this problem?

How do I disable Auto Send in Outlook 2011 for Mac

I used to use Outlook2008 on Windows, and started using Outlook2011 on Mac OS two days ago.

 

In Outlook2008 for Windows, Options menu has Mail Setup tag, and I can uncheck “Send immediately when connected” to avoid any accidental mail sending. Namely, I want to send emails manually, not automatically when connected to the net. I could not find a similar tag or option in Outlook2011 for Mac OS. How can I disable the automatic sending when connected?

Syncing outlook calendars from mac to iphone & iPad

Syncing outlook  from mac os to iPhone or iPad hangs up in calendar - will sync other services - notes contacts etc.

System would sync previously - possibly changed with upgrade to mountain lion os.
