I used that computer to ask the first two questions here.

A close look at that utility appears to tell me that its a clean hard disc with nothing on it. It gives me 3 or 4 options like repair, verify, first aid. When it was finished I rebooted only to find that after the white screen I a message box asking me to set a language (English) then it went back into the disc repair utility.can't remember what its called. Next I tried to restore the entire back up from the most recent one before the upgrade. When it seemed top be finished I rebooted and went into Outlook only to find nothing had changed at all. Looked it was working but there was no indication that the restore function was working.

On a Windows machine they would probable be *.pst files. Initially I tried to just restore all the Office 2011 software as I don't know where all the Outlook data files live.or what they are called. I tried to restore from the back up.which is the Time Machine software (part of the operating system?) connected to an external hard drive. I found a time machine backup as current as midday yesterday.but how do I restore it?

Tried rebuilding the identities.but then I get a lot of old folders no later than 2011.no good to me at all.all my current tax documentation, and bank stuff.all in the midst of major transactions are all gone somewhere.all I want it to do is undo the damage it did to Outlook.damage you claim it doesn't do. I have Time Machine backups dating back to 2011,īut for some reason the 'restore' function doesn't seem to do anything at all except ask an inane question about restoring the Desktop. I have now spent a day (at a cost of $3000) and can't get anywhere. Well.the bad news is that it did.and it does!įirst thing this morning I was greeted with a message box top right corner that told me that if I wanted to continue the upgrade I had to click the 'yes' button (or whatever it was called).only after doing that it told me that the Mac OS was being upgraded.took about half an hour.Īll looked good until I logged into Outlook for Mac.only to find all emails, personal folders and contacts were all gone.
