MAC Outlook 2011 – cannot rebuild database

10. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , ,
When I open Outlook, one particular message keeps popping-up. 

I have tried deleting but keeps returning. I tried emptying my "deleted items" folder but when I try I'm told I need to rebuild the database. 

The data base rebuild utility keeps failing with error -18000. 

Tried creating a new identity and copy the database header and copy to main identity (suggested on one of the forums) - no change. 

Tried to export - thinking I could import in new identity - export fails. 

Everything seems to work normal, as long as I don't try to open the "deleted items" folder. 

I'm using a POP account.

Any suggestions?

Cannot open Outlook 2011 after installing: "Could not change to that identity"

23. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , , ,
I had Office 2011 running on my Mac. I had remnants of Office 2008 on it as well and followed these instructions to uninstall Office 2008 completely: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2500821 

After uninstalling 2008 I discovered the process rendered Office 2011 inoperable (an important detail which was not mentioned in the uninstall instructions).

I reinstalled Office 2011. Word and Excel work fine. When I try opening Outlook 2011 I get "could not change to that identity. An unknown error has occurred in Outlook".  

I should mention while it would be nice to recover my previous identity I can live with just starting fresh with a brand new empty identity since I have my emails duplicated elsewhere.

Here are the steps I've tried to resolve:
1. Updated the new newly installed Office 2011 to the latest version 
2. Used the Microsoft Database Utility to rebuild my identity multiple times
3. Removed all identities in an effort to from scratch with a new identity.
4. Created new identities and tried to open with those
5. Installed Office 2011 again, updated again. Tried above steps again.

No matter what, when I go to open Outlook it throws up a window that says "select an identity" and no matter what I choose, gives me the error message and does not open Outlook.

To reiterate, I don't care about any previous identity . . . I'm just trying to start from scratch with Outlook after installing it.

Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Here are my details:

Newest software update for Office 2011 installed (14.2.4)

27" iMac - 2.7GHz Intel Core i5
16GB DDR3
Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2

Outlook office 2011, categorize colors of contacts do not show in Mail window. Works in Main Identity area but not in other user area.

Outlook office 2011, 

Categorize colors of Contacts do not show in Mail window. 

Works in Main Identity area but not in other user area.


On my Mac, I have the main identity (admin) and my own desktop.

My wife has another login with her own desktop (Standard).

When I open Outlook, I see the mail window in my area, my email is the color of the Contact that I set in the Contacts Categorize option.

This is what I expect.


However when I start Outlook in my wife's user area (standard), the mail is NOT the colors of the Contact that was set in the Contacts Categorize option.


For both areas under Outlook Preferences, Categories, the Assign categories to messages from categorized contacts is check marked.


So how do I get my wifes area mail window to show the contact colors in the mail window ?

Outlook has recovered the interrupted messages and saved them in your Drafts folder

This is the message I'm receiving each time I open Outlook, together with the last email I wrote. My computer froze and I had to do a hard shut down.  Is there a step by step fix for this?

Regards,

Constantly rebuilding the database in Outlook 2011 for Macintosh

17. September 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , ,
I have a user running OS X 10.6.8 and Office 2011 for Mac Outlook v. 14.2.3 . Previously this user was on Entourage with Office 2008 for Mac. We are using an Exchange 2007 server. This user is on a MacPro.

The problem is the user is frequently getting messages that the Outlook database needs to be rebuilt.  When then problem started this happened once a month. This became once a week and now is several times a week, if not daily.

Sometimes it happens when they open Outlook, other times it happens after they have been using Outlook for several hours.

Does anyone know what is causing this? What can be done to stop this from reoccurring?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
