Both my personal and business accounts were not showing, and with them all the data contained therein.Īfter a few minutes of panic and visiting online forums (like this one), I realised what had happened. Hopefully this post may help others.Īfter restarting the Macbook, I opened Outlook and was horrified to find it 'empty'. Having fixed the problem, it was, with hindsight, due to my stupidity.
#Retrieve contacts from outlook 2011 for mac identity for mac#
I felt I should add to this thread because I have just had the same problem with Outlook for Mac 2011. Closed the window and opened Outook and it was all good again Deleted that one and after that the old and correct identity went through some sort of upgrade, tok a couple of minutes, and then I was able to rebuild the files by clicking "rebuild". Then I took a chance on deleting the newly created identity.

I even talked to Microsoft on the phone and they didn't know how to help. When I tried to mark my old identiry and click "rebuild" after a while I would get the message that "I needed to use an older version of outlook to use this file" or something of that sort. When doing the option key + O I could see a new identity was created and in bold text (meaning it was the one being used) while my identity was below it.

Pretty big update, I think it was aprox 100MB download and 300 MB disk space req. Looks like it was a mistake and waste of money!Ĭlick to expand.A big thank you to Solera IT!! Your reply may not have been the exact thing I needed to do but sure helped me in the correct direction.įor me it was a case of new identity being created after my latest microsoft update. I bought Office 2011 Home and Business so that I could uses Outlook 2011. I see lots of posts here and on other forums with many, many Outlook 2011 problems. Can someone help me? Can I get the data back from Time Machine? I haven't ever done a restore from Time Machine. I do have Time Machine backups, but tried to restore the files there and couldn't see where they were stored as I went back in time to backups earlier today and yesterday. I used to also have gmail and me.com accounts active. There wasn't even an account for msn.com. There was nothing in the in-box, no folders, no contacts. After the reboot, all of my Outlook 2011 data was gone.

Tonight I let the Lion OS install three updates. There were problems with the distribution lists, but could use them.

pst files from my Windows 7, Outlook 2007 and was pleased to see five years of mail folders, distribution lists and contacts come across mostly correct. I've been running Outlook 2011 with pretty good success until tonight! About three weeks ago I exported my. Yeah, right….Need some help! I have a fairly new 15" MacBook Pro, upgraded to Lion 10.7.1 about a month ago.
After all, OS X is not supposed to be as much plagued as Windows with process cleanup issues and the like, and should not, in principle, require frequent reboots. If none of the above works, don’t give up, try searching another trick in another forum (now that you have a backup of your files) 🙂Īll this may sound Woodoo. Once the Outlook database is successfully rebuilt, try launching Outlook 2011 againģ) If that doesn’t work, reboot the Mac and try launching Outlook 2011 again Therefore, if you have this issue (Outlook 2011 for Mac not starting up), you could try the following steps:ġ) First, just reboot the Mac and then try launching Outlook 2011Ģ) If that doesn’t work, try rebuilding the Outlook 2011 database following Carl’s instructions in this forum post but, beforehand, make a separate backup of the plagued Outlook Identity (normally “Main Identity”) from the Finder, just in case. That is a possibility that I can’t easily verify at this time.
Now I am thinking: Maybe a reboot was all that was needed in my case which did not necessarily require rebuilding the database. However, rebooting the Mac afterwords did the trick.
At first, this did not work for me (but read on): Outlook 2011 would still refuse to start up (just showing a brief splash screen and then aborting, same as before) even AFTER successfully rebuilding the Outlook database following the instructions here.
