Outlook Mac 2011 reminders won't go away after dismissal

I'm running Outlook for Mac 2011 and my office reminders keep popping up even after I've dismissed them. Additionally, I'm also sending out new invites to meeting attendees, etc. apparently. It's something with the calendar syncing with the iPhone I think but am not sure how to fix / stop it. Help?

iPhone 4, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Outlook is a Microsoft product, not an Apple one. You will get better and faster help by posting on Microsoft's simialr forums here:


Office for Mac forums


Those forums have the advantage in that MS employees from their Macintosh Business Unit often provide answers to posts.


You, like many others, been misled by counterintuitive forum labeling to the forum for iMacs made before 2006; they cannot run Office 2011, so I'm asking the Host to move your post to teh forum for current generation iMacs.

You may not be right-clicking in the right place. After you click Calendar in the bottom left side bar in Outlook, you will see your calendar list just above with all of the categories listed below your calendar. Right click Calendar there. If this fails to fix your problem, I would also suggest deleting your account, and then re-adding it. This will also clear the folder caches from Outlook. This happens a lot on Exchange accounts, Kerio accounts, and IMAP accounts. This is one of many reasons why I won't use Outlook. It just seems too error prone.

This was very helpful, thank you. However, by clearing the cache it got rid of all of my existing calendar appointments. is there a way to get those back or do I need someone to resend them? The appointments currently live on the exchange server and I can see them in my GoodLink app on my iPhone, they are just missing from Outlook calendar.


Thanks!
