Restart outlook normally and Bingo!!!! Sadly, the only solution that worked for me was upgrading to Office for Mac No issues there and the new apps do seem to have some other improvements.

14 solutions to common OS X El Capitan problems on Mac
I had the same problem and installed the updates to Outlook version You can also check under the Help menu for Updates to the software, which includes the fix. Outlook now works fine with El Capitan. I hope this helps! Rough estimate? Very frustrating. Appears to be tied to syncing with Exchange. As soon as Outlook for Mac None of the tricks outlined have worked.
At the mercy of the reason I left Windows Microsoft for a fix. Not holding my breath. I operating with Mac Air early , with office So resorted to web mail, which I hate. Thanks KMC! So as soon as you open outlook if your in sent, change to In and visa versa — all good so far. My routine is to click on a few different folders until the lightning sign syncing? I am was a heavy Outlook user as a large part of my job involves communicating by email. I was very disappointed when Outlook kept hanging up after I upgraded to El Capitan.
Then I realise that have absolutely no need for Outlook. Apple Mail and the built in calendar app are far superior and attractive to Outlook. Microsoft have managed to lose yet another customer. They seem very good at this. The problem also affects Apple Mail, so it does not look like this is a Microsoft issue. I have reported it to Apple on http: Yep, I get that Get Info dialog up and there is no open in lo-res option. Can you show a screenshot of the option on the Get Info dialog? I was just about to uninstall El Capitan. Ive been getting the pinwheel freeze within a couple minutes from openning, but i tried something and i havent had a crash for the past hour.
Im doing my usual routing to see if crashes or freezes again, but so far the answer is no for outlook. So here is hopefully the solution. Right click on app and click on get info. Check of Prevent nap app. Best thing I did was go back to OS X Spoke too soon. Pulled missing email down — left machine and returning to spinning beach ball. I tried the other above suggestions: Back to the beautiful spinning wheel. Then after I restarted Outlook and connected to the internet, emails started to come in again. Going offline was the key. Thanks Test. Nothing Works for me, I tried everything in the thread for work around.
Hope i think need to wait for the Perfect fix. Hopefully they fix it immediately. Stop wasting your time and energy. Start up Mail with the Exchange server and get your calendars and contract over to Apple. Quit ALL Office programs 1. Select ALL the com. Open Outlook — you will be prompted to agree to license terms and asked for the product key. Exit the nag message that the product key should be 25 characters long, then Force Quit Command — Option — Escape the Outlook product key verification program 5.
From Finder, move the com. Restart Outlook and be patient — you are likely to see the the beachball BUT Outlook will sync with the server. I found only two com. I then opened Outlook and was not prompted to agree to terms. It just opened as normal and gave me the spinning wheel again. From two hours before my original post above to now — not a single Force Quit has been necessary. Try holding down the Command button while dragging the plist files to the new folder. I looked up the Product Key for Office by opening Excel.
It was only 20 characters long and missing the last 5 characters — I entered it anyway at Step 4.
If no nag, Force Quit what should be the only Outlook window. However, there is one problem, if I try to switch to Outlook by clicking the icon in my dock, Outlook hangs; I need to Force Quit it and open it again. But switching to it by command-Tabbing work fine. Thank you so much. I have been losing my mind over the past 48 hours.
I wish there was something I could do to repay the favor. BTW my first time ever replying to one of these threads as well. Shift worked, thank you. Took several repeats to get all to load, but working now. Now Outlook is working.

Excel for Mac crashes and slow performance
I did not want to spend the cash but I knew eventually I would be buying it. I shall see if this works. Hi, I upgraded to None of the workarounds worked. I already had windows 7 running in VM Desktop parallels. Since outlook for Mac was already crashing in El captain I tried to export the Outlook data into. Already converted 3 or 4 main outlook folders. Outlook was amazing in indexing and keyboard shortcuts but was horrible in OLE, in-thread tables and various other things.
I am done with Outlook but want to export rest of the data into. Use Mac Mail. BTW office also crashes. I use it too and have for about 20 years even after switching to Mac from PC. The Mac has improved my throughput immensely. There is nothing magical about Outlook except perhaps for meetings. All your email and folders populate in a few minutes.
So do your contacts and calendars. Right in the Mac Calendar app. For those of you who have a archive PST that you use, you should have dragged the folders in that to the Exchange account a long time ago. To reply to Smooth…I use outlook because majority use it and with most companies running exchange trying to use anything else is a lot of work.
As a side note to everyone I upgraded to Mac Office and after 24 hours it seems to be holding its own.
Not sure I understand your comment. The change to Mac Mail from Outlook consists of entering the exact same information in your Exchange server setup that you used in your Outlook configuration. Then, just syncing switching on contacts and calendar. I am missing what the hard part is…. Pressing the space bar whilst starting Outlook worked. It took 3 or 4 tries. I exited Outlook by holding space bar and at the same time fn , command, Q. Before trying the last time I exited all programs and restarted the computer.
My dream now is to get all my emails to get out from outlook and get them work on Mac Mail. Any alternative to Mac Mail that you can recommend? Turn off your internet connection typically just wifi. Then start outlook. It will not crash. Then after waiting a minute, start your internet connection again.
Outlook will then sync. I repeatedly tried all the above suggestions without success until I did the following sequence. Restart Macbook 2. WiFi was on so Outlook will attempt to connect and synch 4. Select low res option in Outlook app 8. Thanks vadnart! Outlook works fair enough time without spinning wheel that I was able to export all my mails to OLM file. You start oulook, it gets the emails, you can use it. You do something else, it is hang up, you have the nice wait wheel.
It never comes back. You can stop force it to stop on right click in the app bar. You restart it, it gets the emails and same same. I get the best way to use it is to stop it each time you have used it and restart it, each time you want your emails. About going to the apple mail app… it seems to do even less than outlook, but I guess one can program it. And there is no way that all my emails can stay on the imap server… and no use too to have those years of archive on imap.
Reblogged this on saihaynes. This worked for me as well! Then re-open as normal. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Free Guide: Fix Crashes or Rebuild Database Identity in Outlook Mac
I tried everything on my macbook pro retina mid None of these tricks worked on my personal mac. On my work Mac, I am resorting to a time machine restore of Sorry, El Capitan, but This is ridiculous. Both MS and Apple have been aware of this issue since the beta…long before the gold master was issued. I am stuck with Exchange Server for work, so it is the Outlook. Good thing my work machine will be restored in another 3 hours from Time Machine.
Not so good…. Nothing but freezes every time MBPro. Any suggestion? Low Res worked for me as well — thankfully. And it worked — all my mails started coming in. Thanks for the tips Matt. I have tried every other suggestion in this lengthy thread without success. Your tips worked for about 10 minutes, but at least they worked! After that it works for me. How about Outlook The following suggestion is what worked for me…clicking on several different folders before sync finished.
Then, went back to Inbox. Must have something to do with the sync. None of the other suggestions worked for me i. Thanks for the research on that! Click in Outlook to open. This worked for me. Outlook OS X El Capitan I have a webmail server added in Microsoft Exchange https: I made this mistake.
Outlook 11 is a side-by-side install. Outlook 10 remains installed. Do the low res option to save memory and cycles, and then open the BLUE icon. I think you might be incorrect about the O being blue. Mine is gold and i bought 11 and downloaded on a brand new I Mac and it is gold and everything about it says I cannot find a blue O in my office application. I think you might have it just backwards because even the people on here that are using are having the same problem as Outlook. It looks like rebuilding the database is my solution.
Low resolution mode and holding shift only worked for a short period. Mark, the first thing I tried was rebuilding the identity database. The problem persists. Let us know if it fixes the issue for you. I tried with hotspot on mobile to connect MacBook, but same case. Upgrading to Microsoft Office v Thanks for the tip Lew!
