I have latest version of Apple OSX, (Mavericks) and their office applications and latest version of Office for Mac 2011, including Outlook 2011 version 14.3.9. For some reason the automatic syncing between Outlook address book and the Apple Contacts app
has stopped working since upgraded to latest version of the Apple OSX 10.9.1.
I need to use Outlook in the office environment and have little choice on that.
I use an iphone so especially need iphone address book to be up to date with the MAC version of contacts, which used to sync with Outlook address book.
Apple forums direct queries to MS forums because functionality stopped working when I upgraded to latest version of OSX, but they seem to imply that proble lies with MS. Which I feel is a cop out but there we are. I am caught between 2 giants and cannot
get a sensible answer
Can anyone clearly tell me why the sync of 2 address books stopped working, is it an Apple or MS issue to fix, and is there a timeline to fix or a practical alternative to keep these 2 address book/contact applications in sync.
Failing this I will have to drop all MS products from my Mac and go 100% native Apple, but given my many years of MS Office experience this would be a difficult change and a retrograde step.
In advance, many thanks for advise and direction provided
I had to re-install Office for Mac 2011 from my backup drive. For entering the product key, I got some kind of error about the server. I had to verify by phone. Now, Outlook opens, but does not stay open long ... maybe 10 seconds. How can I fix this? It
is not very productive to have to close and re-start every 10 seconds.
This is my error report:

Hi,
I've just updated my macbook air to OS X Mavericks. I have always been using Office for Mac 2011 and everything worked fine. however after the upgrade, I can't open Outlook while the other application such as Excel and Word and Powerpoint can ALL be opened
properly. I have no idea why. Has anyone ever come across the same issue? This has just happened recently.
Thanks!

i have outlook office for mac 2011 in my imac and my macbook pro, and the emails organization turns to be kind of complicated since I have to do it on both computers, I travel a lot and it is a double work organizing, cleaning the emails, etc.
I was wondering if is there a way to set up one computer asthe main one, and any action that the second computer performs, the main one would see it. As an example, deleting files or organizing them in their respective folders.
Hi,
I need to export a file of 7000 contacts from Outlook for Mac into Excel to get it processed by a third party.
When exporting from Outlook, normally I should received 7000 rows separated by the columns Name, First Name, e-mail, Address, Birthday, Notes, etc…
But every time I try it, the Excel document shows totally messed up: p.ex. in the column Name, I do get also e-mail addresses, or a birthday date, or some specific client notes, totalling nearly 14'000 rows of data.
I tried exporting "Contacts to a list" (tab-limited text), as well as .olm file.
Before upgrading to Office for Mac 2011, this never was a problem.
My system: Office for Mac 2011, MacOs 10.6.8
Anyone has the solution to help me out?
Your input is greatly appreciated as it is urgent!

Hi I can see that this questions has been asked before, but it was a while ago.
I honestly can't believe that this is not a feature of the Mac version when it is available on the PC version.
Anyway, how do you get around this?
Is there a good workaround?
Many thanks,
Lisa
i can not figure out how to remove messages from my main server. in my old windows version of outlook, it had a box to check to remove from the server. i can not find that option in office for mac 2011. does anyone know where this is located?
I use Office for Mac 2011 and have had a bevy of problems to date. Most recently, my calendar in Outlook is creating hundreds of duplicate entries for birthdays and annually recurring events. This slows Outlook to a virtual crawl every time it syncs
with our Exchange server.
When I attempt to delete the entries, they simply return with the next sync and I receive the notification, "Could not synchronize record."
Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks!
