After using Migration Assistant to move files from old Macbook to new, Outlook will not open.  It flashes briefly, but will not open.

System log shows this error:

Microsoft Outlook[1543]: objc[1543]: Class ERExtraKeyedTableColumn is implemented in both /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office/OutlookPaletteItems.framework/Versions/14/OutlookPaletteItems and /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Microsoft Outlook.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Outlook. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

Please help.

Thanks,

Contacts “File As” setting not in Office 365 for MAC

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

I have shared my contacts folder with a user who has Office 365 for MAC (I use traditional Office 365 Pro for Windows).  They are entering and maintaining my contacts for me.  My contact folder defaults to "File As Last Name, First Name".  However there does not appear to be a File As setting on Office 365 for MAC and every time they enter a new contact or edit an existing contact, my File As setting for each contact added/changed switches to First Name, Last Name.  This ends up listing the edited records by their first name (ie. John Smith moves from the S's to the J's). 

 

Is there any way to set the Office 365 for MAC to File As Last Name, First Name for the contacts?

complicated identity transfer

04. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac
Apologies in advance for a rather complicated question.... I screwed up, I think. Trying to see if I can salvage 7 years of email.

I had a complete system crash. Had good backups and have on my hard drives (TM and External) all files. I had to reinstall Office 2011, however, from scratch.

1. Discovered in move to new home that my original install disk was damaged - ouch. 
2. Called MS support and they were great. I had registered my copy and they sent new replacement disk (excellent service, btw).
3. This is where I screwed up. I thought I could reinstall Office with new disk, then pull my Outlook main identity folder over, as I've had to do a couple of times in the past without issue, and which is described in several places on this site.
4. Nope. Not only that, but on my external CCC backup copy, I had been able to open the old identity independent of the new system. No more, suddenly. My intent was to go in and export everything for transfer to new Outlook. Restoring identity from TM also doesn't take.
5. What I want from the old is a carefully maintained set of mail folders with seven years of archived work messages.
6. I still have the old identity (a couple of copies actually) and I can see that it is the correct size indicating the material is present. I just can't access it.

Any suggestions about retrieving my archive? This is not a total disaster, fortunately. I'm on an Exchange server and all recent email is still on the server, so I have everything I need for my current work. I'm just really sad to lose such a great resource I've been building up for years.

Maybe a hard lesson learned that even with great backups, sometimes a unique set of circumstances arise that throw a curve ball at us.... I should have thought to export files before installing the new Office Suite. Alas, hindsight.

export emails and save in a ‘one note’ type format

03. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac
I would like to export emails to be uploaded into another program.  Coworkers on PCs are able to do this with an option to save the email in various formats, which I am not offered with my MAC.  The coworkers use one note, which I understand is not available on Office for MAC, but is there a way to accomplish this through a workaround?

Move Outlook for Mac data to archive?

03. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac
After being an Outlook for PC user since forever, this is my fist attempt at moving my current Outlook for Mac to archive.

Usually on PC I can rename my current Outlook file to BU_yyyymmdd.
Then create a new outlook data file with nothing in it.
Then setup my email accounts.
Then open my BU yyyymmdd as an archive.

This is super easy and super fast.

I've already gone thru the steps of backing up my Outlook for Mac data files.

How do I create a new Outlook for Mac data file.

Trying to put massive email folders from old PC on new Apple laptop w/ Microsoft Office for Mac (latest version).  Get message and sounding bell that "Gmail; folder contains excess whitespace (Failure).  Went on-line and appeared fix was to download and install Update for Outlook.  Downloaded but when trying to install it will not let me as it says i do not have the correct software?"Office 2011 14.3.4 update can't be installed on this disk. A version of the software required to install this update was not found on this volume"?

Emails not showing

03. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,
I am running Outlook for mac  2011 version 14.3.9 on OSX 10.9. Microsoft Exchange Client server version is 8.3.83.0
Server operating system version is Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1

My mail is accessible on my Iphone and on webmail, but is not appearing in Outlook for Mac 2011. Folders are appearing and I am able to send email, but not receive. I am not able to see my calendar nor other calendars. When synching, the system tries to load some 4500 emails and goes on for about an hour, finishes- but nothing appears in the inbox.

Based on other posts, I have tried the following without success:

Toggling the "Show in Groups" command
Determining the size of the identity- around 450 MB, I have approx. 600GB available.
Emptying the Outlook cache 
Backing up identity, rebuilding identity and restarting
Creating a new identity- when connecting to Exchange I get an error message saying: "Account could not be added. Note that Outlook 2011 requires Exchange Server 2007 SP1 update rollup 4 or later"

I have seen that other people have had success by reverting to Outlook for mac 2011 version 14.0.0. Should I try that? Or do I need to update the Exchange client server version?
Do you have other workarounds or a fix?

Thanks,

T. Flyen
