Can I Revert To An Earlier Version Of Outlook For Mac



Apple hasn't totally left old iPad owners behind. In addition to still signing the last iOS releases for those devices, you can still download software for them — assuming you know where to look.

This tip doesn't cover shopping for the old apps if you don't already own them, because there is no good way to tell if that app that now requires iOS 11 even had an iOS 9 version for the original iPad mini, or an iOS 5 one for the original iPad. But, if you bought the app, here's how to download it.

  • A spate of recent updates caused problems in Outlook and the short-term fix is to uninstall the update; however, updates can’t be uninstalled from the Click-To-Run installations of Office, and almost all users have the Click-To-Run installation. Instead, you will need to revert to an earlier version.
  • Restore mailboxes in Outlook 2011 for Mac. Backing up mailboxes in Outlook 2011 for Mac Step 1. Open Outlook 2011 for Mac. Click on the Tools tab and then select Export. Outlook 2011 for Mac will ask you what you want to backup. On this screen select Outlook for Mac Data File (.olm) and Items of the following types.
  • This behavior occurs because two versions of Outlook cannot coexist. If you select the option in the Setup program to keep all earlier versions of an original release non-trial version of an Office suite, the earlier versions of the Office programs are not removed. However, the earlier version of Outlook is removed.

In this procedure, we've left out user credential verification steps. The frequency you have to enter them will depend on your device settings. With that in mind, authorize through password entry when asked.

This process to downgrade your Mac will erase macOS Big Sur from your hard drive entirely. That means any files, programs, or documents you've been working on will also be erased if you don't back them up first. You also won't just revert back to the previous macOS with all of the files and folders exactly where you left them. Once you have opened Search and Restore, you can search for the file you would like to restore a previous version for by its full or part of its name. Once located, hold the mouse over the entry in the search results and click Actions. In the Actions menu that appears, click Previous versions.

Patience is also a must. The older devices aren't exactly snappy when responding to queries, and can have limited wi-fi speed. That all said, on with the show!

To speed this up a bit, power-cycle your iPad completely before you get started. Hold down the power button for a while, and slide the toggle on the screen to turn the device off. Turn it back on by holding down the power button again.

Open up the App Store. Tap on Purchased..

Let the list load. The names of the apps will load first, and icons will follow, if you wait long enough. We did say you'd have to be patient.

Find what app you used to use, or you know has a version for your device. Click on it, and select Install.

The App Store will consider your request for a moment, and then pop up a dialog box, asking you if you want to install the old app. Click Download to get the older version, and the app store will chew on your request for a minute, and start installing.

However, this procedure does not allow you to access deprecated cloud services, if the app developer has shifted to a new architecture. It is also, obviously, not the most recent version of the app, and will likely lack some features found in the newest version.
