Remote Service and How to Get It Maintain Your Mac with Mac OS X Cocktail Find and Delete Viruses with ClamXav Troubleshooting Knowledge Base Troubleshooting by Symptom Hints & Tips Mac Headlines Reviews iPad 2 2015 MacBook MacBook Pro Mac Mini iMac entourage recovery MacBook Air AppleCare Software Picks Vendor Picks Contact Us October 12th, 2011 Entourage Not Working? stellar phoenix entourage repair registration key Let's Fix It! Here's what you can do if you launch Microsoft Entourage and find messages missing, or Entourage refuses to launch microsoft entourage at all. Entourage stores your contacts, messages, attachments, calendar, to do, and project data in a file called Database. The Database file is designed to grow, but never to shrink. Even when you delete messages within Entourage, they https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/969291 are not deleted from the Database. They're simply marked as being deleted, so they never appear in any of the Entourage mail lists. They still occupy space, which means the Database is larger than it needs to be, and is occupying more space on your hard drive than necessary. Sometimes that file can become damaged, which causes problems when Entourage tries to launch, display, and receive messages. Follow these instructions to repair the database and also http://www.everythingmacintosh.com/tech-notes/entourage-not-working-lets-fix-it/ delete all the deleted messages…which makes the Database smaller, faster, and easier to manage. 1. If Entourage is running, click Quit in the File menu. 2. Hold down the Command and Option keys on the keyboard and launch Entourage. Keep holding down the keys. Instead of launching Entourage, this should launch the Database Utility.
3. Make sure the listing for Main Identify is highlighted in the database list at the top of the window. If not, click on it to highlight it. 4. Click the button for Compact database, then click the Continue button. Database Utility creates a brand new, blank Database file, renames your old damaged file, copies all the undeleted data from the old file to the new, then creates an index within the new file to make all your messages and data easy for Entourage to find. 5. When Database Utility has completed compacting your Database, the Compact Status window indicates that it's complete. Click the Done button to close Database Utility and continue to your Entourage main window. If Entourage still has trouble launching or there are missing messages, the Database file needs more TLC than the Compact Database routine could provide. Repeat the same 5 steps above, but this time in step 2 click Rebuild Database instead of Compact Database. This procedure take longer than compacting, but dothe Macintosh News and Information List (Mac-L) list . It's specifically for Entourage X, but the process might be useful for other versions of Entourage. Please send your feedback on your results if you try this method by http://www.officeformachelp.com/2007/09/rebuilding_a_damaged_database_that_exceeded_size_limit/ leaving a comment. Note added April 2009: This applies to any version of Entourage when trying to rebuild. The more space you have the more likely it will be successful. If you are trying to rebuild https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/how-to-get-rebuilt-database-for-entourage-2008-working-583364/ a database that was recovered from Time Machine, the results can be mixed. It's worth a try, but I suggest exporting the data and creating a new Identity User's database hit the Entourage X 2GB limit and entourage database was "corrupted". Entourage vX on the user's machine refused to rebuild it. Entourage 2004 on the user's machine said it was corrupt and refused to import it. Entourage 2004 on an Intel iMac said it was corrupt and refused to import it. What worked: Copy the user's database to a Mac G4 booted from a very large HD (500GB) Place the bad identity into the Microsoft User Data folder -> Office X Identities entourage database rebuild folder Open Entourage X and rebuild Rebuild was successful Now that the user's database was rebuilt, the size was further reduced by stripping out attachments from the Sent folder and running the rebuild again. After this the 2GB+ Identity was reduced to 460MB. Now Entourage 2004 was able to import the Entourage X Identity. Thanks to Peter from New Zealand for posting this fix. Examining why this worked Users HD could have been formatted Mac OS Standard instead of Mac OS Extended (Also called HFS Plus) User's HD could have been too full to run rebuild (a rebuild takes twice the amount of space) User's HD could be too fragmented for the rebuild Not enough free space. See Problems from Insufficient RAM and Free Hard Disk Space For help stripping out attachments so this problem doesn't happen to your database see Trim attachments Recommended: The Mac-L is an excellent talk list to get general Mac help. It's a moderated list so you won't get a lot of noise…just help for your Mac problems. It's also one of the oldest Mac help talk lists around.
