Outlook for Mac calendar accidentally moved to Deleted Items and removed

01. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , ,
Original Title: "Help."

My main calendar folder in Outlook for Mac was accidentally moved into my "Deleted Items" folder at some point.
The calendar still ran.
But, I didn't know it was in there, & when I went to manually delete items in that folder today, it took my entire calendar away.

Now I'm not able to retrive it.
It has my life in there from 2007 to 2013!
I am one of those people that literally use my calendar to tell me what to do each day & now all is lost.
I was backing up my files, only to find that the "calendar" I had been saving was Outlook's name for it -- & it is blank.

- To be clear, I am not using a server
- I did not hook up TimeMachine (but will soon because of this)
- I tried rebuilding my main identity on Outlook & it kept erroring out
Then I read an article that said rebuilding can do more harm that good if you continue to do!

The Microsoft people said if the rebuild doesn't work, they can't help.
The Mac people said I can maybe get it retrieved with forensic software, but that's about it.

Who can I even find that could help me restore this file with forensic software?
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

are there known issues w/ Outlook 2011 for mac and Exchange server 2007 not accepting user passwords ?

Once again Outlook for Mac 2011 won't connect to my Exchange server.

Won't accept user passwords or user name according to the popup window.

Have also tried connecting to server when directly connected to the same network via ethernet as the server with same results.

All my other Exchange enabled devices work fine- Ipod, Ipad, Droid phone and Windows Outlook 2007 with same user and passwords.

Have also tried dumping the accounts, folders, etc per previous directions, it worked once but not now.

Psw

How to sync Gmail to Outlook for Mac

27. June 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , ,
I have just bought Microsoft Office with Outlook for Mac as I didn't like Entourage and its inability to link with hotmail like Outlook does on a PC. However I have now found that Outlook on a Mac doesn't link with Hotmail either!

I have tried to use a Gmail account, to transfer my hotmail account to then use Outlook to sync to, as Gmail is IMAP and Hotmail is only POP. As I understand it this is the issue?

What I am now having problems with is:

- Under On My Computer / Inbox / Gmail it has downloaded all of my emails, through all of my folders. 900 and counting! Then lower down where it says Gmail and then has all of my folders, there is nothing in this Inbox. How can I get it to just show the emails in my inbox and not the ones I have already filed?

- On hotmail I have got my folders organised with subfolders also, this has not carried through to Gmail nor subsequently Outlook. Is there a solution to this? I.E I have a main folder for 'Personal' then under that there would be one for 'Finance', 'Sport' etc.

Really disappointed with Outlook for Mac as it just doesn't do as it does on a PC and everything else on Apple products seem to work so seamlessly, but email doesn't seem to be.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards,

Paul.

Microsoft Office Mac 2011- Can’t do spelling and grammar check on existing word doc

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

I have installed Microsoft office mac 2011 on my apple laptop last year. Yesterday, when I tried to open an existing word doc and try to do a spelling and grammar check it says "Word cannot start the spelling check. The spelling checker files may be missing. Make sure the spelling checker file are installed or use the Microsoft office Installer to install the spelling checker." I can't exit out after this pop up appears the only way to exit is to force quit on my apple computer. 
Please let know why this is happening and how I can possibly fix it. 

Thanks!

"Could not change to that identity"

Split From: "MAC OS X 10.7.3 and MS Outlook 2011 - "Could not change to that identity" error"

I've gotten the same Outlook error with a brand new (as of today) Mac and a brand new install of Office 11 for Mac. 

None of the solutions has helped.  I've rebuilt the database, deleted all identities, updated Office, tried Outlook with a new user account (for the Mac) and moved the Office Identities folder to the desktop. 

I still get the same error with Outlook.  All of the other applications launch OK.

Apparently, then, the issue is not with my User folder, but with the MS Office files themselves.

I can't think of anything else to do except uninstall Office and start over, or find an email client that might actually launch and work.

This is beyond extremely frustrating.

When will we get Outlook Calendar to sync with iCloud? Or be able to subscribe to any bl**dy web-based calendar?

22. June 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , , ,
Having moved over to Mac and lived a crash-free existence for the last 2 years, the down-side is/was losing Outlook. 

So ‎I spent some money and bought Office:Mac 2011 because it has Outlook (finally) and all Mac/PC arguments aside Outlook is the best mail/calendar/notes/tasks integrated package. iCal and Mail are still in clunky land. But.... Miserable Bill and his team won't let Outlook for Mac sync with iCloud, nor can you do any kind of work-around. Import, yes, sync, no. I got my hotmail calendar to subscribe to iCloud, then tried to get Outlook to sync with that. No dice. Thank god I only paid the academic price... and a wasted afternoon... Come on Bill, it's such an obvious thing to want, and how hard can it be?

What's the point in having Outlook for the Mac and then forcing it to live in splendid isolation?

Talk about disappointed... of course you don't find out until after you've spent the money...

Also when I send on behalve of that mailbox i cannot find the sent item anywhere, Not in my sent items.

When i log in that shared mailbox through OWA the sent item folder is visible, but contains no items.

The sent mail is being sent though.

Can anyone help me with this?
