Apr 15, 2017 I'm running el Capitan (OS X 10.11.6), and it would seem the script is not happy with el Capitan.? There are numerous utilities out there for Windows based Office/Outlook, but seemingly none for Mac based Office/Outlook? Doth anyone know of solution, a script that will work with el Capitan. Users plagued by Outlook for Mac 2011 hanging in El Capitan now have a solution. However Office 2016 for Mac users must wait longer for their issues to be resolved in Apple's new operating system.
Outlook For Mac 2011 Help
If you're one of the users who upgraded OS X to El Capitan last week and are having issues with Outlook 2011, you're in luck: Microsoft has released a fix for the show-stopping bug affecting Outlook 2011 for Mac. The Microsoft KB article (KB 3098396) describes how the bug caused Outlook to hang whenever it attempted to sync online with email servers:
Shortly after you start Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 on Mac OS X El Capitan (version 10.11), Outlook hangs when it tries to sync with the server. The Spinning Wait cursor is displayed, and the application status is displayed as 'Not Responding.'
Office For Mac El Capitan
The issue did not affect offline users, however this would obviously leave Outlook's functionality severely crippled. Thankfully the patch appears to resolve the issue and is much better than Microsoft's advice prior to this update, suggesting users roll back to OS X Yosemite.
Despite Office for Mac 2011 receiving a patch, Office 2016 for Mac still has serious bugs itself including the apps crashing. Microsoft told MacRumors they are working on a fix:
'We know that some users of Office 2016 for Mac are experiencing issues as a result of upgrading to Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan. We are actively working with Apple towards resolution.'
Users can download the Office for Mac 2011 14.5.6 Update (113.4 MB) via Microsoft AutoUpdate or in a package at Microsoft Support.
