Either click the Stop Sync button in the lower left or the little x at the right of the entry to stop the send and receive. The Outbox should now be visible in message list and you can remove the attachments or delete the message.

• Outlook For Mac

People call it the Spinning Beach Ball of Death, or the Rainbow Wheel. Wikipedia calls it the Spinning Pinwheel, and the official name for it is the Spinning Wait Cursor. Either way, if you’ve got a slow Mac, you’ll be seeing that beach ball quite a bit — and you don’t even get a suntan to go with it. Occasionally the spinning beach ball appears for no apparent reason, and all applications become unresponsive. I can still move the mouse pointer, but all clicks are queued. After 10-15 seconds it returns to normal, and the OS performs any actions I tried to do while the ball was spinning.

Got a used MBP A1150, and the previous owner had upgraded the hard drive, then swapped back in what I'm pretty sure is the original 80 GB drive before selling it (the hard drive sticker has an Apple logo). I bought a replacement Samsung 320 GB drive, cloned the 80 GB drive, migrated files from an older MacBook, and the MacBook Pro ran fine for a little over a week. Lately, we've been seeing intermittent spinning beach balls, and the last time, it didn't come back (had to do a hard shutdown). The 320 GB hard drive was ticking about once a second at the time of shutdown. I put the 320 GB drive in an external USB enclosure connected to a Mini, and ran it through Disk Utility's repair a few times. No problems whatsoever.

Spinning Beach Balls in Outlook. How to uninstall programs on macbook pro. Thx in advance, John.

If I open any application, it appears and I could leave it for hours and it wouldn't resolve. I booted up from the disc because I couldn't do anything with the beach ball.

This is ridiculous. Both MS and Apple have been aware of this issue since the betalong before the gold master was issued. The crashes (Office 2016) and “spinning beach ball of death” (Outlook 2011/2016) were known well before the update was made available, but nothing was done about compatibility. I am stuck with Exchange Server for work, so it is the Outlook.com interface for now or nothing. Good thing my work machine will be restored in another 3 hours from Time Machine.

(this is the number one cause of problems with sync). Do NOT make subfolders under the Inbox.

As an aside, my sync services were not checked as expected. I have not closed my outlook either. Still found no solution on my Apple Calendar sync with Exchange, but maybe off/on scenario may work there as well. The successful action for me was: • Open Outlook and immediately go offline (top left - menu bar - select outlook and scroll down to Work Offline).

This high CPU usage issue seems to related to the Contact management features of Outlook. If you’re up for trying all of these Ian, perhaps we will be the first to crack it!

This has helped no-one with this issue that I can see. • Turn off the SyncServiceAgent.

As I advised you in my previous post, compare your Exchange account settings in Outlook 2011 with the settings for the same account on a Windows computer. Make sure that your Outlook 2011 settings match those on a Windows computer. Look at the version number of Outlook 2011. Notice that it is Outlook 14.x? That is because Outlook 2011 is the successor version of Entourage EWS aka Entourage 13.x.

I had an issue today where Outlook 2011 was giving the spinning beachball right after opening. When I looked at the process list in Activity Monitor, I saw that the Microsoft Database Daemon process was using over 50% of CPU and sometimes going as high as 80% while the beachball was spinning.

When they receive the invite, they can either download a copy of the file for their own use or choose to collaborate on it (the file then gets added to their iCloud Drive account as well). The feature is still pretty basic and it lacks the transparency and control that Dropbox gives you. But with this and the new feature that lets you share your iCloud space with your family members, iCloud Drive is starting to look better every day. Under-the-Hood Productivity Boosts High Sierra is filled with changes you can’t really see up top, the biggest of iOS already has APFS.

Outlook For Mac

I have 80 or so Macs at work here. Updated all of them to Office 2011 prior to switching our email to Exchange online. It's mostly been a great success, but I do have about 10 or so users working on older iMacs [Intel Core 2 Duos, 3GB Ram, OS10.5.8]. Whilst this spec meets the requirement for using Office 2011 and Exchange online, these older machines in general get a lot of spinning wheel action while using Outlook. Very frustrating for busy staff. I've upgraded 1 machine to 10.6.8 and there was a slight improvement. Has anyone had a similar experience with older Macs or any advice on a potential fix.

We are experiencing a plague of the dreaded Spinning Beach Ball of Death in Outlook 2011. We have about 600 10.6.8 Macs running Outlook 2011. They all use AD logins. The Outlook SBBoD started for us back in October with the Apple Security Update 2011-006 (Snow Leopard).

I booted up from the disc because I couldn't do anything with the beach ball. This allowed me to check the HD which shows as verified under smart status. I verified and repaired the disk and it did this fine and didn't find any problems. However, when I try to verify or repair permissions, it gets stuck and will not complete. I took it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store. They seemed to think the permissions were significant and managed to back it up and wipe and reinstall.

My dream now is to get all my emails to get out from outlook and get them work on Mac Mail. I would love to use Postbox since this one actually can import easily box files created by outlook BUT Postbox doesn’t support Exchange:-( Mac Mail looks like the only solution for me.

Give it a try!

Here are a few tips to help you find more on your Mac. In High Sierra. It’s starting to turn into something closer to a web search bar instead of just a local search tool. Now, you can type in a flight number and you’ll see details right there.

The setup: All three Macbook air computers, all with Lion OS X Installed and Office for Mac 2011 and update 14.2.4 Our exchange setup is as follows: User 1 has access to their own mailbox as well as our technical support inbox, our filed mail and main company inbox and User 2's inbox. User 2 has access to their own mailbox as well as our technical support inbox, our filed mail and main company inbox and User 1's inbox. User 3 has access to their own mailbox as well as our filed mail and main company inbox These are set up using ‘Delegates’ As it stands, the inboxes for the accounts are as follows: Technical support inbox: Several subfolders with 20-30 emails in.

Whatever the reason, the program takes over the CPU and up pops the Ball. If you suspect that the SBBOD is software-based, the first thing to do is simply to wait for a few minutes to see if the app starts responding again or crashes. While you're waiting, you can find out which apps are hogging more than their fair share of system resources: Open Activity Monitor’s CPU tab and sort by the% CPU column in descending order; the apps at the top are the ones using the most CPU cycles. To find out which software processes are hogging CPU cycles, sort by Activity Monitor's% CPU column.A frozen process will appear here in red text, with the words Not Responding next to its name. If you recognize the process—if, for example, it's an application you know you opened—select it, click on Quit Process, then click on either Quit or Force Quit. Don't quit processes whose User is root: Those are system processes, and terminating them may cause your Mac to freeze, requiring a restart.

A damaged or corrupted file could be the source of the problem. Update your software: Make sure OS X itself, and any apps you use regularly, are up to date, because a software update may have fixed a crash-producing bug. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to update Apple software and anything downloaded from the Mac App Store; for anything else, use the app’s built-in software update feature or download the latest version.

Run Apple Hardware Test: Apple Hardware Test is a special utility you can run to test your Mac’s logic board, RAM, graphics board, and other components for errors that could lead to crashes and worse. Has complete instructions for using this tool. Add RAM: If your Mac has a small amount of RAM (say, 4GB or less) and has available slots to add more, try increasing your RAM. Extra RAM can speed up many operations on your Mac and can reduce the likelihood of crashes and hangs related to running out of memory. If you try all those things and continue to have crashes or freezes, contact the app’s developer (if it’s a single app) or Apple (if the problem is system-wide) for further advice and assistance.
