Issue with importing PST from WinOffice 2010 to MacOffice 2011

08. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,

Am moving over from an old Windows 7 computer to a brand-new iMac.  Got Office 2011 under the Home Use Program, installed it, setup my email accounts (Comcast and Me.com), then...went to import my rather large PST files from the Windows computer.

Pretty much shocked that they didn't import into the new mailboxes--but, I can live with that, as I work with multiple PST files at work all the time.  However, the messages now have screwed up dates, and don't sort right (many older, some years older, messages now have the date/time of the import, and don't sort right at all (I usually sort from newest to oldest)).

What do I need to do to fix this issue?  Pretty much blows my mind that this just didn't work, since the same vendor wrote both products.

Thanks!

How to accept calender invitation on Apple?

25. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
I shared with Outlook (Windows computer) an agenda. The people who have a Windows computer, can accept the invitation of the agenda, but people on an apple computer (they have Outlook for Mac 2011) can't. They all get the message that they do not have access to see the calendar. Is it possible to accept the invitation using a mac? If so, how?

SkyDrive for Mac only opens for a few seconds then crashes

26. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
I have SkyDrive on my office computer (Windows) and my home computer (Mac) to sync all of my files. It works on the Windows computer, and it also worked on my Mac until recently. I chose the settings for starting SkyDrive when I start my computer, but now it doesn't do that anymore. When I try to open SkyDrive from my applications, the little cloud appears at the top of my computer screen only for a few seconds then disappears. It stays gray the whole time instead of turning black. When I try to click on the symbol while it's there for a few seconds, the only options are: "Report a problem," and "Quit SkyDrive." I have tried moving the SkyDrive app to the trash, emptying the trash, restarting the computer, and then reinstalling SkyDrive, but the same problem still occurs. I read forums that suggested this for uninstalling SkyDrive for Mac:

To remove the SkyDrive client from Mac, you first have to unlink the account associated to it then drag the SkyDrive client to "Trash." The unlink account option is in the "Preferences" window:

1. Click on the SkyDrive icon in the status bar (at the top right corner on the screen)
2. Click "Preferences..." to open the preferences window
3. Go to the "About" tab in the preferences window
4. Click "Unlink SkyDrive" at the bottom of the screen
5. A confirmation dialog will pop-up saying that your local SkyDrive folder will stop syncing with the cloud, click "Unlink SkyDrive" to confirm, then drag the SkyDrive client (installer) and folder to the "Trash."

This doesn't help me though, since SkyDrive won't work well enough to show a "Preferences" option. Does anyone have another suggestion for how to solve this problem?

Outlook for Mac to Outlook for Windows 8 (Office 365)

Hi, I was using Outlook 2011 on my Macbook Pro Retina.  Now, for work, I need to use a Windows 8 touchscreen desktop.  I have a desktop, and I have just purchased Windows 365 for it.  Several months ago, I seamlessly transferred all my old email and calendar files from a Windows computer to the Mac.  Now, however, I can find no way to get the Mac Outlook files onto my new Windows 8 desktop.  I tried downloading one of those converters, but it doesn't list Windows 8 as being compatible, and the free trial didn't seem to work, as no emails were imported...Please help.  I'm getting way behind in work and I need to get this taken care of ASAP.  Thanks.

Convert Windows Outlook Contact .msg files to Mac Outlook .pst files

26. January 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,
I keep getting error messages when I use the "convert to .vcf" export options on my Windows computer at work.  So I dragged and dropped all of my contacts onto a usb flash drive.  They come up as a .msg file.  And my Mac OUTLOOK can't open them to import them.

How do I convert from my Windows Outlook Contact .msg files to a .pst file so that I can keep the contacts formatting and associated pictures and such?

MacBook and outlook.com problem

Hello,


I use an older MacBook, and yesterday unwittingly started with outlook.com and automatically now use HTTPS. I managed to change back to Hotmail on a Windows computer. I now want to change back to not automatically using HTTPS, but can't find a way. Doing the action below doesn't seem work on my computer.


Hope somebody can help.


Regards,


John.



 

If your computer is automatically using HTTPS, I suggest that you connect using HTTP. Please refer on the steps provide above by one of our community member.

 

To manually do this process, please follow the steps below.

1. After logging into Hotmail and navigating to your Inbox

2. Change the URL in the address bar of your browser to https://. You should only need to delete the ‘s’ onto the https and leave the rest of the URL as is. Press Enter to follow the updated URL.
