Contact Pictures in Address Book Vanish When dragged to Exchange Server ???

Forgive me in advance if this has been solved and then please direct me to the right link - however this problem is really becoming a deal breaker for me because so much of my intranet software pulls from contact images
I have a brand new Macbook Pro clean installation and after setting it up I linked it to my 07 Exchange server and pulled down my contacts it worked flawlessly and i thought all was well - Every field including the notes section and pictures transferred.
Then when I edited pictures in address book contacts under the on my mac section and copied them to my exchange address book the contact transfers but the picture is missing - after the initial transfer of contacts from my exchange server it happens vice versa also if i take a contact on my exchange server with a picture and drag it to address book (in the address book application) it deletes the picture
Alot of my applications pull from my exchange contact database and I rely heavily when replying to calls or messages at looking at the picture when it pops up on my screen
Apple support said they are sort of aware of this issue and there is a work around but they dont know what it is ??? and recommended that i ask on the forum
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated Im at my wits end or does address book just not work right ? - Oh and one more thing when clicking on a contact on the exchange server from address book i can edit a contact but i cant edit the picture field either
Someone tell me something'
Thanks

I'm having the exact same problem... worked fine until I did a clean install Last week.
anyone figured out a fix or workaround ?

  • I deleted a contact from my address book but when I go into text message it is still there. How do I fully delete this contact? It is only in my text messages not in my address book.

    I don't believe there's much you can do about it...have a look at the "More Like This" pane on the right side of this page.
    One way though to eliminate the issue (although not a very good way) is to restore the phone as new.

  • Contacts app (replaced Address Book) freezes when I try to edit or add any image for contacts. Dragging & dropping does it, too.

    I am having a problem with Contacts.app (the app that replaced Address Book). When I edit or attempt to add a picture to a contact it freezes until I kill it. This has happened since the last software update. Safe Boot makes no change...I have no plugins installed that work with iCloud of the Contacts.app. I can't even drag and drop a photo. Anyone else having this? I do tech support for a living and I clearly don't know everything! lol. I want to see if you all have had the same problem.

    Never seen or heard of it.
    Try deleting the iCal plist and container. The first in user/Library/Preferences. Second in user/Library/Containers.

  • Contact pictures in Address Book not being displayed

    Hi,
    I am syncing my address book, calendar with Google. My "source" usually is the Mac address book. After having activated the "Mac <=> Google" sync, everything worked fine in the begining. But the last six weeks I seem to have a problem with the contact pictures:
    I have created contact pictures for nearly 95% of my contacts. These pictures were copied to the address book either from iPhoto or from the web. Via Google sync, the contacts are transfered to my iPod touch, my iPhone and my Nokia Lumia 800.
    Suddenly the contact pictures started to disappear from my Mac address book, but were still visible in my Google address book and my mobile devices.
    When I started to add the pictures to my address again I realized that most pictures are still there, they were simply not being displayed in my Mac address book. By switching to "edit mode" and opening the picture field I could see the pictures again. After clicking "OK" the pictures is visible again.
    I double checked all pictures, added the few missing ones and created an "address book archive". Yesterday all pictures gone again. I imported the archive, all pictures back again. This morning, the pictures are gone again. This whole thing doesn't seem to affect Google or the mobile devices.
    Any idea what the problem with the address book is?
    PS: Before you suggest to switch to iCloud. I need to sync my address book and calendar with all my mobile devices. If I would use iCloud, I would not be able to sync with my Nokia Lumia 800 (Windows Phone). And from comments in the forum, there seem to be similar problems with iCloud concerning address book information.
    Thanks for your ideas.

    I found this article online:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20004209-263.html
    Export an Address Book Archive of all your contacts, then import it right back in. Worked like a charm.

  • Address Book can't synchronize with Exchange server using a domain prefix

    I'm having problems attempting to use Address Book's built in "Synchronize with Exchange" feature. The issue seems to be that my company uses domains with their exchange server, so I login with a username like "domain/user" rather than just "user"
    iSync finds my server if I just use the "user" login, but the server won't accept the login and I get a failed login error.
    When I use the same server with my "domain/user" login I get this error:
    "iSync couldn't connect to Exchange. Could not reach the server specified."
    It seems that the "domain/" is fooling Address Book into altering the server URL to an invalid address. When I return to the preferences I see that it has changed the URL to http://www.server.com/exchange/domain/user
    I've found a bunch of people on the web with this problem, but no solutions. Anyone have any ideas?

  • Address Book Question (possible move from Exchange Server to Mac Server)

    I currently run an Exchange Server. What I like the most about it is that no matter what I use to access my e-mail account, I have my calendar and contacts. Plus everything that I do from any method of access shows up in a different method of access.
    So the question is, if I go to the Mac Server and run mail services with webmail, can I access my calendar, contacts, inbox, sent items, subfolders, etc. from my Mac laptop, and then also from a foreign machine that I use to access the webmail? If I went into webmail, would I have all my contacts available? My calendar? Could I check my sent items or subfolders?
    Pointers to relevant documentation would be a plus.
    Thanks very much in advance.
    Jeff

    you can piece most/all of it together... but it's certainly not as integrated the way exchange is...
    If your main concern is sharing mail folders among several machines and with webmail, this is easy to handle with imap... you could share sent, inbox, etc.
    Shared Address Books can be setup with LDAP.. it takes some work though and is a far cry from Exchange...
    If you are a tinkerer and your staff can put-up with the tinkering, you could piece many of the features together... but if you are happy with, and use, the exchange features- I'd stick with it.

  • Is there a way to use Apple Mail/Address Book/Calendar with a Microsoft Exchange Server that requires a client certificate ?

    I have an Exchange server configured to require a client certificate. Is there a way to configure a certificate for Apple Mail/Address Book/Calendar ? There seems to be no option in the account settings to do that (in contrast to for example the IMAP settings).
    Any help highly appreciated !

    I don't know. Try downloading the certificate and installing it in your keychain. See what happens.

  • HT2486 Editing contact photos in Address Book doesn't work

    Whenever I try to edit a contact picture in Address Book, the edits don't hold. I might reframe or recrop the image, and then click "done." And everything seems to be fine, for two or three seconds. Then it simply snaps back and reverts to the way it was. Sometimes after it reverts, it also shifts upward in the square, leaving a large black space at the bottom of the frame.
    Why is this happening and how can it be stopped?!

    Quit Address Book and go into your Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete AddressBook-v22.abcddb. Open Address Book and it should recreate the index. See if that makes a difference.

  • Deleting contact's picture in Address Book (so frustrated)

    I can't seem to accomplish this. Each time I delete the contact's picture, it immediately reappears.
    I think the picture was automatically added back when I was using Adium. (I've since swiped Adium from my computer and only use iChat and Mail.)
    I've deleted a file for her contact in ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/, however each time I delete that and then proceed to delete the picture from the contact, the picture not only reappears, but so does the file in this cache folder! This contact is the only one in which I am experiencing this strange behavior, and it is the only contact with a file in that cache folder. Yikes!
    I've also tried deleting the contact from my iChat, and even deleting the contact from my address book and re-adding. When I re-add, the picture reappears. Grrrrrr.........
    Any ideas?
    Also.. this is a contact with a MobileMe account. I too have a MobileMe account. The picture crap only happens when I add their MobileMe email to the contact, and the picture deletes itself if I delete the MobileMe email. Again, this only happen with this single contact, even though I have other contacts with MobileMe addresses in my Address Book.

  • I have an iphone4 and i can only hear calls when i use speakerphone.  I'm trying a master reset but how do i back up my contacts from my address book??

    I have an iphone4 and I can only hear calls when I put them on speakerphone.  The people I'm on the phone with can hear me I just cant hear them.  I am about to try a master reset but how do i backup my contacts from my address book? Does itunes do that when i backed up the rest of the stuff on my phone?

    Back it up in iTunes! Just make a backup of the entire device but make sure you check sync contacts and the option to add contacts from phone to address book on computer.

  • HT1692 When I delete a contact from my address book, why does their name appear when I'm scrolling through names to text?

    I have deleted several contacts from my address book. However, when I type "d" for example to select a contact for text messaging, the deleted contacts still appear in the list! How can I solve this?

    This has to do with this information being held in a separate cache in the phone. There are two choices here. You can restore the phone as a new device, which is the only true way to remove this cache; or you can wait until the information is overwritten in the cache, and no one has been able to describe how long that takes, so I would say the only way to really do it is the restore as new, and not from a backup. This will delete all of your data and you will need to sync data back individually.

  • Is there any Contact Manager or Address Book that I can install on my PC (Windows 7) that when synced to my Iphone that will accept my custom Lables for type of entry, such as you have- Home, Work, then "Private Line" ?

    I am wondering if in fact there is any Contact Manager or Address Book that I can install on my PC running Windows7 that when synced with my 4s that it will retain all my custom lables for phone numbers in Contacts on my iPhone, such as Sandra's Private Line, Cadillac, Bat Phone or what ever?

    Hi sahgin,
    The issue eventually resolved itself, I still don't really know why. I kept up with Windows update, and attempted downloading iTunes again from the Apple website, and it just... worked. It now works fine. I don't know why it took approximately 4 months to work, though.
    I'm sorry I don't have any more helpful information. Posting here was my last resort, and clearly Apple never bothered to reply.

  • Don't have Aruba as a country when creating a contact in my address book!

    When creating a new contact in my address book on my iPhone 4, I do not have the option in the Country tab to select Aruba or Curacao or even Bonaire!
    They are not even in the list!
    How can I get these three countries/Islands in the Country list as an option?

    Aruba is NOT an independent country. It is technically part of the Netherlands.
