Contacts won't sync with my new MacBook (The operation couldn't be completed. (CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1.))

Hello everyone.
I recently bought a used MacBook Pro (Mid 2012, running OS X Mavericks) as my first Mac, so maybe it is really easy but I cannot figure it out myself.
I am really satisfied with the product, the only thing that is bugging me is that the built-in Contacts App won't sync my existing iCloud contacts.
It's working fine on my iPhone and iPad but it does not seem to be working with the MacBook. At first I thought maybe it could use a reboot. That didn't work. Next I deleted the iCloud account from the Mac, rebooted again, entered my account data and opened contacts again. Still nothing even after waiting 10 minutes.
Then I found this nice option "Show Last Import". And behind the "iCloud" group I noticed a little exclamation mark. After I clicked on it I was presented the following error: "The operation couldn’t be completed. (CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1.)"
I don't really know what to do with this error since google and other search engines did not deliver a resolution to this problem which worked...
Is my iCloud broken or something? Everything is working fine so far with my other devices (iPad, iphone, icloud-website, even my Windows PC at work can sync the contacts  :-/)
I hope you can provide me a solution because I am out of ideas myself

So for me I found a solution after hours of searching. Surprisingly it is in another thread here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19223886#19223886
Problem solved with a lot of help from Apple Support. After upgrading to ML, I still had all my contacts in iCloud and on the iPhone, but not on the iMac and the MacBook.
1) We have set up a temporary second iCloud account for me.
2) On my iPhone, I signed out of iCloud and did NOT delete the contacts.
3) On the two Macs I signed out of iCloud and had everything deleted.
4) I signed the iPhone up with the new iCloud account and synced all contacts into that one.
5) With Safari I opened the online interface of my original iCloud  account and manually deleted all contacts.
6) On my iPhone, I signed out of the temporary iCloud and did NOT delete the contacts.
7) On my iPhone, I signed into my original iCloud account and waited for the contacts to sync.
8) On the two Macs I signed into my original iCloud account and everything was okay again.
So have my contacts back, but we do not really know what was wrong.
As the original author said, I had no idea what exaclty was wrong but somehow it's working.
I'm not using any Google contacts so unfortunately I can't help you with that.

  • Why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal

    why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal.

    Not sure of what? In your second response you said the issue was with airplay. You were also having issues connecting laptop to computer, which points to a laptop connectivity issue. I simply asked if home sharing was an issue as well, since that will confirm the laptop as the cause. Your response that home sharing is on doesn't really help since that doesn't itself have a bearing on airplay nor does it answer the question in regards to if home sharing is working on Apple TV
    If you have a further question you will need to be specific.

    Does the iPod show up in iTunes on the Mac? If not try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    also
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Otherwise what happens when you try to sync? Note that you can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. If that is the problem you should go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase and content and setting and set up the iPod on you computer/iTunes library. One content on the iPod does not belong to you.

  • What does it mean, in iTunes, "your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air"?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to sync the contacts on my iPhone 5 with my contacts on my Mac Book Air (merge them), I'm also using Outlook (Microsoft) to manage my email account and my contacts.  I used to sync my contacts from my previous iPhone (4S) with my contacts on my Mac and also with contacts on Outlook.
    Now that I have iPhone 5 I missed that sync (iPhone-Mac-Outlook), so I figure it out that in iTunes there is this message: "your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air. Your contacts will also sync directly with this computer. This may result in duplicated data showing on your device"
    Every contact created on iPhone doesn't sync with my Mac or Outlook.
    How should I configure my iphone and my mac to sync properly??
    Thanks a lot!
    Kind Regards,

    Not surprisingly there have been no answers to this question because the only person who knows how to use iTunes/iCloud/iPhone is too busy.

  • Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud

    tl;dr: iPhone works properly with iTunes 11.1 and iPad does not. Can't sync with both iTunes and iCloud to separate, distinct Calendar/Contact/Notes groups.
    Explanation:
    Ever since iTunes 11 was released (I'm on 11.1 now) I'm unable to sync Contacts, Calendars, and Notes via iTunes because I'm using over the air syncing from iCloud. As late as iTunes 10.7, this was okay, because "On My PC" groups would sync perfectly with iTunes, and iCloud groups would sync perfectly with iCloud.
    In fact, this still works, today, but only on my iPhones.
    However on the iPad I get the message "Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud." (Well, yeah, I know that. My iCloud contacts should continue to sync via iCloud. I don't want to turn off this behavior.)
    The "workaround" used to be sticking to iTunes 10.7, which had correct behavior for both iPad and iPhone. Of course iOS7 nuked that option.
    Is anyone aware of another workaround? (Merging my professional Outlook stuff into my iCloud stuff is not a workaround.)

    I can place a bounty. $20 USD to your Paypal account for a fix.

  • Exchange contacts "The operation couldn't be completed. (SOAPWebServicesErrorDomain error -997.)"

    I was first having some issues with the notes app and my exchange notes (office 365). It keep saying the password was incorrect and would ask for a new one even though I would enter the correct password. In trying to fix this, I tried removing my exchange account from "Internet Accounts" in System Preferences. I removed all contacts, email, notes etc when I did this.
    Upon adding the exchange account again, my mail, notes, and calendar appear to be working, but none of the contacts in my main exchange contacts folder are appearing and when I click the ! triangle icon beside my exchange account in Contacts, it says "The operation couldn't be completed. (SOAPWebServicesErrorDomain error -997.)"
    This is occurring on Early 2013 MBP 13" Retina as well as my Mid 2011 21" iMac. Both are running Yosemite 10.10.1

    The operation couldn’t be completed. (CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1.) This error comes up when MacBook Air is trying to up and download info to iCloud. 
    What is wrong, and
    How to fix it ?
    Julia

    I believe I have what is a similar issue, but I am not convinced it is singularly related to iCloud as I don't use iCloud on this user account for contact synchronization.  However, I am running OS X Server on a different computer and am in the process of rebuilding a user account.  The user account got the error when I first connected to the Addressbook service, but when I wrote a contact to the database, the error changed to "[NSUnknownKeyException] [<ABCDGroup 0x7fe95d20d360> setValue:forUndefinedKey:]: the entity ABCDGroup is not key value coding-compliant for the key "com.apple.addlInfo""
    Had you done recent work with the addressbook?  Rebuilt contacts?  Upgraded something?

    Hi again OGELTHORPE.
    I've already run two hardware tests. One quick one and one extended one. It was unable to pick anything up.
    It's like everything is running perfectly, but when I go to erase the HDD or partition it, it pops up with the error message. Even when I try to erase and partition using "Terminal", I received the same error message.
    It's beginning to do my head in, but will see if replacing the SATA cable will make any difference. If it doesn't, I'll hazard a guess it could be the Logic Board.
    Thanks again for your suggestions!

    My internal boot drive is NOT showing up in the Event Library in Final Cut X. My external raid drive is showing up.
    I am also getting error message "The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory"  when attempting to create a new "event".   Any ideas?
    If I had a application disk, I would unistall and reinstall FCPX.  I am assuming there is a way do do this without a disk - just have not been able to easliy find out how.

    Well it did NOT work.  Here is a screen capture as FCPX loads showing the drive while it loads. Then when it is loaded, NO drive showing up in the Event Library ( I have turned off the external drive).
    ANY ideas . . . .  Anybody . . . .  APPLE?

    Thanks. I was able to use Apple updates to get Snow Leopard up to date
    and have now installed LR4.
    However...... I purchased the LR4 upgrade and I have gotten to the part
    where it asked me for the serial number and I have input the new serial for
    LR4 upgrade, but I erased the serial in the next set of boxes down thinking
    they were asking for the name number duplicated in. However it wants my
    serial number from my LR2 which I cant seem to find.
    Is there a way to lookon my LR2 program and get the serial number?
    Or can I access it through myAdobe account somewhere on the Adobe website??

    I have a Macbook pro 13" A1278. I purchased it around december 2010. I have a HHD 3.5" drive desktop select II 1.5TB. I purchased it around Febuary/March 2011 to use with my Macbook pro. I formatted it and moved all my files to there, I got it so my macbook's hard drive wouldn't brake and I lose everything on my macbook.
    Is there any fixes?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
