BASIC ENTOURAGE TROUBLESHOOTING

The very Basic Entourage troubleshooting.

1. The very first thing you need to make sure of, is you need to be updated. Not just OS X but also your MS Office suite. Most of the problems are solved by simply keeping the machine updated. Make sure you are using the latest versions for the OS and Microsoft Office.
2. Sometimes just a normal rebooting of your Mac is required. This often fixes many problems.
3. Running Repair Permissions is another standard tool used to repair problems, but it is more effective with the inbuilt OS X applications.
4. The very first recommended step is to delete cache files which is effective many times.
5. Finally you have the option to delete the plist i.e. deleting the preferences files. Doing this the application changes all the settings to default hence solving the issue if it was due to any changes made.

Hi,

I am glad to see your post as i have been using entourage since last five years and would like to know more about entourage email application. Recently I came to know that Stellar has developed a product to repair and rebuild entourage database in all scenarios of corruption or damage. It's really very great news as per my knowledge there is no other such kind of third party tool to solve the entourage errors.

I would like to thank you for your interesting post !

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?
