Categories in shared calenders not working in Outlook 2011. Is there a fix / work around / 3rd party plugin for this issue.

Have several macs with Outlook 2011 on exchange 2010.

Everything else is working fine, but am unable to get categories to work in shared calenders.

I´m having trouble with tasks not showing in Outlook. (they are visible in the web-version, but not in my client installation).

I tried to create a new identity, but that didn´t work.

Since the tasks are visible in the web-version, I´m suspecting that it is a check-box I missed somewhere so the tasks are not visible, though I´ve tried just about every different setting I found.


Emails that my family, friends, professors, & work are being bounced back.  I use my email a lot to contact my school professors as this is the only way they can contact me because my school is an online college. My email inbox is not full as I check it everyday or two.  I also empty my junk mail and delete folders on a regular basis, so as not to overfill my email.  My email is not blocked or locked.  Not sure what all else I am missing as I just learned of this problem.  Can you help me to continue receiving emails?  I really need to be able to receive all my emails because most of them are important for my work and my education.

ATT supprt could not fix the problem it seems to be a problem with the live program. 
I have an iPhone, and it syncs with Address Book, and I have sync services turned on, but I can't seem to find a good way to sync Outlook on laptop and iMac, and Address Book.   I continue to get data moving around to different fields, missing data, no data, duplication, etc.

I also learned that if you manually enter contact info in Outlook, it won't get pushed back out.  This is a problem in the sense that I have Outlook on my laptop and my 27" iMac at work, and this results in an inaccurate address book.

I don't understand why Microsoft and Apple can't come together to have a better way to sync address book data.  Everyone I encounter seems to have an issue with this.  

And speaking of Outlook, why is it that Microsoft had to try to reinvent the wheel in the layout / design of meeting notices?  what's wrong with how Outlook 2010, or 2007 for that matter, work?    I hate the fact that if I want to add people from my address book i can't simply select TO or CC or BCC and my email addresses come up like they do for the Windows version.  Instead, we have to move to the far right hand side, select the image of an address book which then takes you to Contacts Search, and then you have to choose the correct drop down, etc.  Who would design such an inefficient solution, particularly when 2010 was already out, and it works fine?  Why take a completely different approach?

Most people using Office on a Mac do so because they have used or are using the Office on a Windows machine.  Therefore, that's what they are used to.  

Outlook 2011, for me, continues to be the single most frustrating, crappy Office product of all of them.  And I'm not in the Apple vs Microsoft camp - I just want what works best.  I use Office365, and all of the tools there too (SharePoint, Lync, etc.).  And I'm happy with them, for the most part.   

BTW  - I have tools like Contacts Cleaner, etc.  But I'd rather get a fix for the problem to begin with, rather than a bandaid.

Ever since went from XP to Windows 7, none of my contacts are ever online.  One happens to be my boss who I know for a fact is online every day since this is a faster way to communcate.  They use MSN messenger but Geek Squad told me windows live messenger is the same thing with a different name.  Never once have I seen one of my contacts on line.  Never had this problem when I had MSN Messenger.  Please Advise.

How to remove incorrect addresses from Windows Live Mail auto complete?  I have tried the suggestion in http://email.about.com/od/windowsmailtips/qt/et_del_autocomp.htm – it simply doesn’t work: selecting the address and pressing Delete does nothing.  Any suggestions, please? 
I have been having problems with using Windows Live lately.  Finally after get help from Microsoft help forum response. My new current problem is. That when after signing in. When I want to press and select my "Inbox"to read. Anything happens. And also my save "Draft" folder. When I select to open my it. It doesn't let me open it. And see my save drafts.  What really weird about this. Is at work. I can open my Inbox and Draft folder. But when I use my three different laptops of minds. It will not let me open my Inbox or Drafts. Only at my job PC. I can open my Inbox and Draft folder.
