Problems with Sync between Outlook and Mac Calendar, Address Book and Notes

01. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , ,
I have an iMac 27” running Snow Leopard with MSOffice for Mac 2011 installed.  
I have been able to automatically sync Outlook Calendar with iCal and Contacts with Address Book and Notes via Mail.  This has enabled me to sync this data with my iPhone and iPad using iTunes.  

My hard disc was starting to cause problems and has just been replaced under the Apple replacement programme.  My backup using Time Machine worked brilliantly in restoring all my applications and data.  

However, when I now try, within Outlook, to turn on the Sync Services the dialogue box comes up empty so I cannot restore the sync between Outlook and the Mac Applications. 

Does anybody have any ideas please.

Can’t import my Entourage 2008 data

Yesterday I upgraded my MAC OS from 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion.  When I did this,  it disallowed access to all my emails that were on Entourage 2008 since it won't support Power PC programs.  Someone suggested I then up-grade to MSOffice 2011.  I got the trial offer to see how it works.   When I tried to import my data,  it would only import from Entourage 2004,  but not Entourage 2008.   When I go to import,  it indicates that it has indeed found the Files in my user Files,  but below -- where I'm supposed to highlight it and import -- it says  NO Entourage files are found.   Don't know what to do now and I can't seem to get any live help.  Please prove to me that there is a live person at the end of this....

New MacBook Pro – New MSOffice 2011 for Mac – New Email (from go daddy) – Can’t SetUp

I just bought a new Macbook Pro with MountainLion.  I just bought the MS Office 2011 for Outlook.  I just registered for a new email domain from GoDaddy.

I get nothing but errors including:

* Outlook cannot connect to the server.  Verify that your computer is connected to the network.
* An unknown error has occurred in Outlook.
* Sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed recpthosts.

I have tried EVERY combination of POP and IMAP servers that were provided and I am getting nowhere.  I exhausted all support at GoDaddy...I exhausted all support at Mac and now I try to get some help from MS.

This is for work and I need it up and running by tomorrow...ugh.

Any insights will be appreciated. (please note: I have tried every recommendation on the first 30 support blogs on the first 30 support sites on the web for this..and still nothing.

Thanks!!
