ENTOURAGE TROUBLESHOOTING: CRASHES WHILE LAUNCHING - IV

Entourage crashing due to corrupt database

In this case we need to rebuild database of Entourage.

SHORTCUT TO LAUNCH REBUILD DATABASE:
Hold the Option key while launching Entourage.
a. The other option to rebuild the database is to first close all the Microsoft applications.
b. Launch Applications (Command+shift+A).
c. Go to 'Microsoft Office 2004' then 'Office' and then open 'Database Utility'.
d. Select Rebuild Database & click on Continue.
e. If there is any MS office program running, it will give you a prompt to close it down.
f. Once the rebuild process is complete, click on Done.
g. Entourage will bring you back to the same window, this time click on Quit.

Once this process is complete relaunch Entourage. For the very first time your Entourage might take long time depending on the size of your folders and database.
Other reasons could be Fonts, Schedules, Duplicate daemons.

But due to limited functionality of Database utility, in some cases it fails to repair Entourage database file. In such situation you can try a third party Entourage repair tool such as Stellar Phoenix Entourage repair software.The tool repairs Entourage database very easily and allows the users to access all the objects, such as e-mail messages, task contacts, meeting request, attachments, calendar-entries, and more.

MAC THEME FOR YOUR PC

How to give a trendy "Mac look" to your PC Have you ever imagined of giving a Mac OS X look to your PC? I am not talking about installing the Mac OS X on your machine, but this is just a theme and which will turn your PC into Mac and I can guarantee a non Mac user cannot identify which operating system are you working on. FlyakiteOSX is a transformation pack. It will transform the look of an ordinary Windows XP system to resemble the look of Mac OS X. The installer simply automates the process of replacing critical system files, setting registry tweaks, and installing extras such as cursors, sounds, visual styles, etc. Even the start up icon will be changed to grey Apple startup logo. Login screen will also look exactly as of Mac OS X. The startup tune will no longer be traditional Microsoft tune, it will be changed into Mac startup chime. Also the error tone, clicks, cursors, buttons & selectors on the browsers and all other applications will give a Mac look. Not j

MAKING A FILE/FOLDER INVISIBLE

How to hide a file/folder using Terminal This is one of the greatest technique that I ever came across, I had to share my Mac in office and was curious about hiding confidential data. This was when I started exploring and finally came up with this solution. These commands are to be typed in Terminal. To make a file or folder invisible in Mac OS X Finder setfile -a V testfile.txt Here is goes, the file or folder is no longer visible via the Finder GUI, though it will be by Terminal. Your files are still there and you can find them via the command line and will show with an ls command. If you want your files and folders to be visible again, use this command: To make a file or folder visible again in Mac OS X Finder setfile -a v testfile.txt Now the file/folder will be visible again to the Finder, cool isn't it? Please Note: setfile is a command line utility included in Apple’s Developer Tools, which is a highly recommended optional install included on any Mac OS X install
