So this blog will completely guide you on how to repair and rebuild the Entourage database 2008.
What Are The Causes Of The Error?
Actually the problem occurs when multiple identities create tasks, appointments, messages, notes, and others. The information increases larger than the prescribed size due to which the Entourage identities get damaged. And this is where your Entourage 2008 database needs to rebuild and repair.
How To Resolve The Issue?
Well, when Entourage 2008 database gets damaged then you need to repair and rebuild it in two ways.
- Using an Inbuilt Database Utility of MS Entourage
- Via automated software
Method 1: Using an Inbuilt Database Utility of MS Entourage
Here are some of the best manual options to repair and rebuild Entourage 2008 database.
Quit apps
You need to close all the apps by pressing the “Command option + Escape key”. Then select the app and tap on “Force Quit”. After you quit all the apps, close the window of Force quit application
Check free space on disk
You should also check whether there is free space available or not. Remember that free space must be three times space on the current identity folder size. You should go to File > tap on Get Info > Get information. If you want to rebuild successfully, the size of free space should be 3GB when the identity size is 1GB.
Create backup
You can rebuild the Entourage 2008 database creating a backup. Here is how to do:
- First, go to Home and double click Documents folder that is under Microsoft user data folder
- After that, double click on Office 2008 identities
- Now, right-click on Identity folder > tap on Duplicate
- At last, close all open Windows
Rebuild Database And Then Create New Identity
- You have to press the Alt key and then restart Entourage by holding Alt key unless you get Database Utility option
- Now choose the main identity available in Database Utility. Then tap on Rebuild database > Continue
- Here you will see the status bar that displays Rebuild status when the process is finished. Now the database is rebuilt and a message displays on-screen saying “Your Database was successfully rebuilt”
- At last, tap on Close button > Quit and your Entourage 2008 database will
If by chance the database rebuild was not successful then you need to create a New Identity. This kind of situation occurs when the Exchange server has several identities and when there is no need of establishing a new identity to solve the issue.
Here are the steps below to create a new identity:
- First, quit all apps and then look for a folder ‘HD/Users/USER_NAME/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 Identities/IDENTITY_NAME’ and then copy the same to desktop
- Now start Entourage and tap on Entourage menu to select Switch Identity
- Then tap on New and type on new identity name
- Next, quit Entourage and look for ‘HD/Users/USER_NAME/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 Identities/NEW_IDENTITY_NAME’ and then rename it with “New”
- Now copy database that is on the old database to a new folder
That’s it.
