When I had a similar problem, disabling dropbox integration (I never realized I had enabled it) made a huge difference in performance, especially for otherwise trivial things in Office/Excel like copy and paste (which had become unbearable). System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Privacy Tab->'Allow the apps below to control your computer' (dropbox was checked, I unchecked it). Not sure exactly what functionality this took away from dropbox, but it still syncs folders fine, which is all I used it for anyway. (I know this is thread is over a year old, but it's one of the first results in Google so I'm adding this for all the others who come along in hopes it may help them). I believe there is an out of control process causing this that needs to be force quit to get performance back to normal. Here are my online findings on the topic: • • • The comments hint towards too many 'open ports'. Microsoft word for mac 2011 hyperlink.

Feb 07, 2002  I really, really hate M$ products, and I swear they must intentionally cripple their software for the Mac. It just seems that in Office 2001, and now Office v.X, there are so many bugs that it degrades the functionality of the software. Leave it to M$ to make a word processing program that doesn't work right. I'm using a registered version of office 2016 (for business) and Mac OS 10.11.6 (El Capitan). This slow down appears when connected to the Internet. Ms-office performance.

Force quitting the excel process via activity monitor with the most ports seems to do the job. I suspect this is a registration connection issue.

Office tries to constantly connect home and check that the product is registered. If you are offline and then go online then the issue occurs. I'm guessing these open ports are in reference to internet connections to a registration server. I have Office 365 Excel 16.10 running on High Sierra (10.13.3). Copying takes several seconds, sometimes cell comments are not viewable at all & often my previously working Hyperlinks to other files in the same folder don't work.

Neither unfreezing pans/rows, adding Excel to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy Tab > Accessibility nor using Normal View (my standard anyway) made any improvement in its performance. I didn't have Dropbox in my Privacy list.

Disconnecting from the internet improved the situation, however. Copying is a little quicker, although viewing comments and using Hyperlinks are still unreliable. I have to say that I don't consider this a practical solution, merely a workaround while waiting for Microsoft to fix the problem.

One of the biggest improvements in Outlook for Mac for Office 365 compared to Outlook for Mac 2011 is that the database has been completely replaced by SQLite. If you’ve used Outlook for Mac 2011 previously, you may have ran into issues with database corruption and are familiar with having to manually rebuild the database. With Outlook for Mac for Office 365, you will no longer need to manually perform database rebuilds. This is due to several reasons: • The reliability and stability of the new database have been greatly improved, so the likelihood of database issues occurring is lower overall.

• Outlook will perform a silent recovery in the background for small database issues, no longer requiring database rebuilds. • For larger database issues where a silent recovery is not possible and a database rebuild is necessary, Outlook will prompt the user to repair the database to fix the problem.

Besides support for OS X El Capitan, the Mac build of VLC Media Player improves the resume dialog, preferences, starting time, as well as the Lua extensions. In the meantime, you can download. Re: VLC with OS X El Capitan 10.11 Post by felix paul kuehne » Wed Aug 05, 2015 10:10 am There is an option in the Interface settings of the preferences which lets you set that. Well, in this article we focus on how to play 4K video in VLC Player on Mac OS X El Capitan. VLC media player 2.1 has been in support playing Ultra HD / 4K videos, viewing 4K files in VLC is not so easy as we image. Os x el capitan vlc player download. Full support of Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan. Note: If Check for Update. Doesn't work then click the link above to download the vlc-2.2.2.dmg file and manually install it after deleting the existing application bundle.

Because of these changes, the ability to manually start a database rebuild is not available in Outlook for Mac for Office 365. This will help reduce time spent on rebuilding the database for issues that truly are not caused by database problems, thus a database rebuild is not necessary. The Rebuild button found at the lower right of the Outlook for Mac 2011 Database Utility window is no longer available on the Outlook for Mac for Office 365 Profile Manager window. For small database issues, such as missing or corrupt data, Outlook performs a silent recovery in the background by syncing the necessary data from the server or by reconstructing the corrupt file from data in the index.
