Outlook 2011 for Mac constantly freezes at startup

11. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,

Hello, I work in IT for my company, and have a brand new MacBook Air, running OS X Mavericks, and Office for Mac 2011, that I am testing for deployment to a user.  It's our only Mac in our enterprise environment, a one off.


The problem I'm having is when opening Outlook 2011.  I can successfully setup and add an exchange account in Outlook 2011 connected to our Exchange 2010 server.  After that, each and every single time I open Outlook 2011, it will open, show my inbox/standard screen, and literally sit there for 3 mins.  I can't do anything, click on menu items, scroll, new email, nothing.  It will just hang.  After 3 mins or so, the program seems to work fine.  I've searched the internet, restored the MacBook Air, reinstalled Office 2011, I've even tried different user accounts and setup their exchange accounts in Outlook, with little to no mail, thinking that may be the problem.  But it will hang no matter what.  I'm also waiting on a contact back from the local Apple Store's Business Department, though I doubt they will know...


Please help! 


Thanks,

Accounts disappeared from Outlook Navigation pane

03. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,
I've been using Outlook 2011 for Mac on a Macbook Air for about 3 weeks and have four email addressees which initially appeared in the navigation pane, being expandable to show the Inbox, Drafts  etc for each account.  A few days ago they just disappeared!  I didn't consciously do anything to make that happen. I'm still receiving emails from all four accounts but I only have one composite inbox, drafts etc showing. How can I get the display of individual accounts back?

Thanks in advance

Outlook 2011 Stopped Opening

27. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
Hi,

I have a MacBook Air, Mid 2011 with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.  I have Microsoft Office for Mac 2011.

I have been using Outlook successfully for 2/3 years, but suddenly today it has stopped opening.  Other Office software opens.  But when I click on Outlook it appears to start opening (the standard yellow box appears briefly), but then stops.  No error message is seen.

I have restarted the MacBook several times and checked Software Update.

I have followed threads for similar issues and done the following:

- Hold 'Option' key and click on Outlook icon to open Microsoft Database Utility.  I have created a second 'identity', made it the default, and then opened Outlook - successfully (though with no content).  When I reset the default to the original identity I am again unable to open Outlook.

Though I have found threads that suggest taking the above step I have not found anything that then explains what that means, or what to do next.  Some threads seem to say I have to rebuild a database, and others caution against rebuilding a database.  Rebuilding a database sounds like I am going to lose something by doing it - whether it be content, different accounts I have set up within Outlook, rules etc.

Can anyone give me advice please?

JJ

P.S.  Shortly before this Outlook failure I had an error message that required me to switch the MacBook off and on again.  This has been a recurring problem over the last few months (though never previously resulting in an Outlook failure).  The panic report runs 4 pages long and there is no particular error code I can find.

Office 2011 Mac – Choose where Outlook stores local mail data?

25. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
I recently installed Office 2011 for Mac. Is it in any way possible to tell Outlook to store all my local mail data to the SD card that I have permanently in my Macbook Air for additional storage? This would be of great help to me.

How to change way name is displayed in message I RECEIVE in Outlook (on MacBook Air)

21. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
I've changed my account info so that my name appears correctly in emails that I SEND.

But on emails I receive, the name tag appears as "companyname companyname" "<*** Email address is removed for privacy ***>"

Very annoying, how do I solve this!?

importing Outlook .olm file from IMac to Airbook

12. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
I've exported my 2013 emails on my IMac to an .olm file. When I try to import this file on to my MacBook Air I immediately get a message saying that I have stopped the import, The fie size is4Gb. I've trying to export it a smaller file (eg by just selecting the inbox) but this doesn't seem to make any difference. I've also created a new identity on the Macbook but this doesn't work either.

This is a real pain as I like to organise my emails by year. It was not a problem with .pst files when my main computer was a PC.


Mac 2011 Outlook will not search contacts after migrating from Macbook air to a new macbook air

27. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
Have used migration assistant to populate a new macbook air.  Both were updated to Os X Mavericks 10.9.1 before migration.  I have purchased another WPX&O from microsoft and used the key to get office running.
The problem is that when I type in a name or other search term into the search box for my contacts it returns no items found.
It will find new names that have been put in since the migration.

Outlook on new Macbook Air giving me all kinds of errors and problems

27. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags:
I have an iMac with Snow Leopard and Outlook works great. Got a Macbook Air for Christmas and downloaded Office from Microsoft site, and it's been one problem after another. I entered all the settings correctly, that and usernames/passwords verified by Roadrunner (webmail works), but I'm getting messages that it can't find either of my two accounts ("not connected to ..."), and both have amber dots in Accounts, though earlier both were green, then one green and one amber, now both amber;  authentication messages; can't send now try back later. "Outlook cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct." (there's nothing wrong with the server). It's also sending some of my personal incoming email to junk. I had to put my iMac Outlook contacts on a stick to get them to the Air.I have never had such problems in email.  If I reinstall, will it wipe out all my work? And does a reinstall count against the 5 computers I'm allowed to use my Office app? Any help appreciated.

Outlook for Mac 2011 and iPhone Calendar Sync

20. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
I am using Outlook for Mac 2011 on a MacBook Air under an Office 365 subscription. Can anyone tell me I get my Outlook calendar to appear on my iPhone calendar app without going through the rigmarole of manually syncing with iTunes? Thanks.
