Macbook Migration Assistant – Outlook will not open – Flashes

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,

What do the colored balls mean?

02. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: account passwords, colored balls, KeyChain Access, Outlook

In the Accounts dilaog box of Outlook 2011, the left-hand pane lists the accounts. To the left of each account is a colored ball, sometimes green, sometimes yellow, and perhaps other colors as well. What do the colors mean?

Note. Like so many others, Outlook frequently asks me for my account passwords, and once a week or so it erases a few of them (as seen in the Accounts dialog box). I have tried all the suggestions I found on the web including deleting and recreating accounts, cleaning up Keychain Access, rebuilding the database and/orcreating a new user, etc. I have friends with the same problems so I suspect the fault is with Outlook and not with my particular setup. The reason for asking about the colored balls is that after the most recent request by Outlook for my account passwords, I noticed that all the balls were colored yellow and that they changed to green after I selected each account (though I made no changes). I thought that knowing the meaning of the colors might suggest an approach for a work-around to this problem until such time as Microsoft publishes an update.

Outlook for Mac 2011 keeps downloading old emails & asking for password

02. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: my yahoo, Outlook, Yahoo, Yahoo & Gmail

Hi,

I recently installed Outlook for Mac 2011. I have 3 email accounts - imap (Yahoo & Gmail) and a personal email with Go Daddy.

I have 2 problems:

1. Outlook keeps downloading old emails, but only for my Yahoo account. I tried re-setting the "check for new mail" time to 30 minutes but this didn't fix it. I want to keep my messages on the server as I need to check my mail across different devices.

2. Outlook intermittently requests my password for both Yahoo and Gmail. When I enter it, the mail comes through so I'm confident it's not an incorrect password issue.

I actually have product support with Microsoft but using the service was as frustrating as the email issue itself (the guy asked lots of questions, said he would call me back and then didn't).

Does anybody have a solution? I'd be really grateful for any help.

Thanks,

Outlook for Mac Keeps Asking for my Password

01. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: Exchange accounts, Mac Keeps Asking, Outlook

All my exchange accounts are fine in Outlook, so the previous suggestions do not help to solve my issue.

Outlook keeps asking for the password for my IMAP account which is a .me.com account.

Has anyone found a solution for this problem?

Calendar in Outlook Creating Hundreds of Duplicate Birthday Entries

30. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: Office for Mac 2011, Outlook

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!

Outlook error: Mail could not be received at this time

30. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: Outlook

Hi, I have a Mac with OS 10.9.1 using Outlook 365 to connect to my iCloud IMAP account.

I get a repeated error where Outlook says:

The server for account "xxxx" returned the error "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password." Your username/password or security settings may be incorrect. Would you like to try re-entering your password?

with Yes/No buttons

The password etc are fine - when I click 'no' the mail downloads. I've looked for solutions on the web and have repaired the Keychain and changed the outgoing port to 587

This happens daily ... any assistance much welcomed!

Outlook 2011 (Mac) has become extremely slow to start

29. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: Outlook, Season's greetings, slow start

Season's greetings to all !

Since about 2 weeks Outlook is taking forever to start. Once launched, it actually remains for about 10 minutes on the "Identity configuration" windows, and only then do I get the regular Outlook screen. Once in place, it works OK but of course this very slow start is really annoying.

I have tried reconfiguring the identity several times, but nothing has changed. On the other hand I am getting nervous that all my data (contacts, calendar entries, mails) will be lost.

How can I get Outlook to start normally again, i.e. at a decent speed ?

Outlook 2011 appointments show as meetings

27. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: appointments, Outlook

I am using Outlook 2011 on my MAC and Outlook 2010 on my PC both connected to my Exchange Server which happens to be MS Exchange 2010 at a hosting site.
Now, I have 237 appointments (out of 10100) that show as meetings in Outlook 2011 on the MAC BUT show as normal appointments in Outlook 2010 on the PC. i do not use meetings and I never created a meeting, so these have been switched over probably while trying to sync with an Android phone!
How can change these back to appointments in Outlook 2011?
Thanks.
