Outlook tasks in Office 2011 for Mac disappeared

13. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
I've seen several postings with solutions regarding this issue, but none are working on my MacBook Pro running on OS 10.7.5. I'm using Outlook 14.3.9.

I stopped using Outlook for mail and contacts a couple of years ago, but have continued with the Tasks function. After disappearing last week, I've tried restoring former Time Machine back ups, switching and rebuilding identities through the Microsoft Database Utility, but still have no tasks appearing.

Any other suggestions out there?

Thanks.

I can't seem to get Outlook tasks to sort by category. It seems sort of random, a,b,f,h,e,f,, etc.
So far I've uninstalling Office and re-iunstalling per the KB article, and deleting the pref files.
So far no luck, any ideas?

How do I create custom fields in Outlook tasks for Mac

07. May 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,
Business has changed from using Windows XP (Office Pro 2007) to iMac (Office Mac 2011).  From Outlook tasks, I transferred the tasks (job) list via .pst. export but it did not duplicate ALL fields as required across to the Mac, Mac will not allow me to customise the fields to create specific fields according to these needs.  Jobs are on various rotations and need to be as per my previous functions.  How can I duplicate exactly to what I have previously been using?

After update to Office 14.2.4, the view of my Outlook tasks was no longer synchronized

After indicated update on 9/19/2012 - my view of my tasks was no longer synchronized to our university Exchange server.  

When I create tasks in the Task view, they don't appear and don't even show up with a spotlight search.  However when I view Outlook via Web, the new tasks are there on the server; likewise when viewing through Outlook 2010 on Windows.  

Similarly, if I check a task as completed, it does not get hidden from the local view in Outlook 2011 (as per my settings).  But it does register as completed on the Web view of the Server contents, or in Outlook on Windows.

I examined the folder properties and emptied the cache for Tasks on Mac Outlook 2011.  This wiped out the content of the Tasks view, but a new version was not downloaded from the server, unlike what was indicated in the properties view.

When I'm creating tasks with outlook 2011 for Mac, I cannot see them in outlook tasks. I only can find them again in the Apple reminder Apllication.
Is there anything due to iCloud? can somebody help me?
thanks

% Complete Tasks for Mac Outlook 2011

Just recently installed Office 2011 for Mac and trying to apply a percentage complete to my Outlook tasks as I used to do on my 2007 version on PC.

Doesn't '% Complete' exist for Mac users?
