Active Synch and contact groups

HI,
I have a new Blackberry passport running 10.3 synching with Office 365 using Active synch and I have one annoying issue. All emails, contacts, tasks, etc.. work fine and synch correctly. However I have my contacts grouped into different folders on exchange and Outlook and these do not seem to synch across to the BB device. My question is there any way to get this to work as I realy do not want to manually resort 600 contacts on my device.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You can't edit them on your phone. You have to do that on icloud.com using your computer.

FM to fill activity partner and Contact person inside a BADI

Hi,
When i create an activity i need to check for a condition and process the activity accordingly. The condition is that when an contact person is entered mistakenly on the activity partner field then i need to move to the contact person field and also find out the corresponding activity partner and fill it.
For example, if i enter 123( assuming this to be a contact person) on the activity partner field, then i need to find what is the corresponding activity partner for this contact person(Assuming ABC to be the activity partner). I need to fill ABC on the acitivity partner field and 123 on the contact person field. I tried using ORDER_SAVE Badi for the same. The badi gets called and i am able to read the curent value from ORDER_READ FM. I just don't get as to how to fill the activity partner and contact person inside this BADI. I am not able to find any FM for the same. Can i request some help pls?
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi,
maintain the partner change on document manually and debug this FM to see what should be the inputs.
Maybe you are missing sth.
Other way, better, would be using crmv_event tcode. there you can register your FM that will change partner on document.
you can assign this FM for eg. to event AFTER_CHANGE and object PARTNER, and transaction category like Service Process.
you can read /people/radoslaw.stefaniak/blog/2009/12/16/crmvevent--what-is-it for more information.

Using N79 sync calendar and contact group

Dear all,
I am using N79 to sync contact and calendar to ovi website. But I find that calendar and contact group data cannot sync to ovi website. Is it possible to do it or ovi website still does not support to do it? Thank you

It is possible to use N79 and sync to OVI. I do it all the time and I can sync my contacts, notes and calender. I have had the following observations/problems :
- When syncing you have to log-out - or maybe switch away from the calender before you can see any changes that were made on the phone.
- I had some reoccurring events in my calender (birthdays). For some reason all these were shifted -1 day so a b-day occuring on march 7th would be on the 6th in OVI. I have now removed birthdays from the calender and added them to the contacts instead. Then the b-days should appear on the standby-calender-screen, but I miss an overview of upcoming birthdays.
- It would be nice if you could share your OVI calender with friends or your wife, so you can plan your life together.

Unavailablity of screen saver and contact group im...

Hello
I have nokia 5230 nuron and 3110c handset
even the basic java phones has the option like screen saver contact group image why the 5230 symb. set doesn't having those option
prakash

The 5230 is a touch screen, and the screen lock therefore turns the screen off, making it basically pointless to have a screen saver option since the screen is turned off once you lock it. Also, the screen saver on idle has been removed for battery saving concerns since the large screen would eat up the battery in no time. If you really prefer to have a screen saver instead of having your battery last the day through, you can download lockscreen apps which allow screen savers.
As for the contact group images, I cant remember if my last java phone (5610) had that, but I cant see the point of having it when the phone shows you the contact's image when they call, meaning you really wouldnt see the contact group image anywhere of worth.

HT4897 Icloud email alias apparently causing duplicate notes and contact groups

I seem to be getting duplicate notes and nearly duplicate contact groups as a result of my alias email account. This coincided with the upgrade of my iphone, but the problem is on my iMac running Mountain Lion OS.
When I open preferences for Mail, Contacts, & Calendars, I see one iCloud icon with a cloud and another with an @ sign. The one with the @ sign is associated with my alias email account. I still use that account.
Any idea how to correct this?

SDN is the place to discuss technical problems..

Synching gmail contact groups with the iPhone

Can I import my gmail contact groups into an iPhone/Macbook? Do I need to put them in the iContacts or some other way. Thank you..

Found out I was using Outlook 2000. Syncing won't work unless you use Outlook 2003 or higher. I got around this by going into Outlook contacts and did the following steps under the file tab I:
1-Export to file
2-Comma Separated Values (Windows)
3-Named file
4-Saved file to desktop
Then I copied the contacts file to mobile thumb and imported them to Windows Address on another computer. From there I synced with my IPhone.
I found out Windows Address mirrors anything under Outlook. Because my Outlook is old and in the wrong format using my Windows Address will do the same thing thus I needed to copy info to another computer in order to use Windows Address. I will upgrade Outlook and see how that works but for now I have a temporary fix to problem.
Hope this helps.

Bb10 and contact group

Will the new 10.1 OS allow contacts on Z10 to once again have a corresponding sync field with "Categories" in MS Outlook ?? This field synced perfectly on my Bold 9900, but it was called "Groups" in OS7.

Hey gliveron,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Currently categories and groups is not available in BlackBerry 10 or 10.1. There is no estimated time when this feature will be available.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Cisco Jabber for Mac - Directory Lookup and Contact Fields

Hello,
After having issues myself with Cisco Jabber for Mac 9.2 specifically with Active Directory lookups not working, or contact information not populating (and therefore not being able to call users from the contact list as no telephone information exists) I am including a sample jabber-config.xml file that works for me.
Please note: there are many different ways to configure this. What I will be showing is the method that works for me and my deployment, which is pretty standard.
As always and as a disclaimer, once again, this is what has worked for my deployment scenario. Always keep backups of your configuration files, and always be mindful of anything you have configured already, especially in the jabber-config.xml file.
Background
My deployment is based on CUCM 9, with 1 publisher and 2 subscribers. I also have a CUCM IM & Presence 9.0 server. This assumes that you have already configured your deployment and Jabber is functioning already, albeit with the aforementioned issues.
As for Active Directory, my deployment will be based on Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controllers running in native 2008 mode. For this example, we will be searching directly against one of the DCs with a Global Catalogue role. Please be aware that in large deployments you will have to plan accordingly with regards to lookup traffic from Jabber clients to the DCs.
Also, as of Cisco Jabber for Mac 9, the client no longer can search via the CUCM internal directory (which may be made of local end users, Active Directory synced users, or a mix of both) and this must be done via a LDAP mechanism.
Scenario
In this deployment scenario, Cisco Jabber for Windows is working properly - you can search and add people from Active Directory, and contacts in your contact list have all the appropriate fields populated from Active Directory. However, when trying the same with Jabber for Mac, Jabber for iPhone or Jabber for iPad you notice that you cannot perform a directory lookup, and if you add people directly (for example, [email protected]) the user only has the IM field populated. No telephone, email or additional information is displayed.
Solution
Whereas Cisco Jabber for Windows uses the EDI mechanism (native Windows), whereby when running from a computer that is on the domain (or in the event that you are search for contacts in another Active Directory domain where a domain trust exists) , Jabber for Mac / iPhone / iPad uses the BDI mechanism.
In this case, you will need to provision a jabber-config.xml file that you will upload to your TFTP server (or Publisher) that will be "downloaded" by your Jabber for Mac client and also used by the iPhone and iPad client. You can configure many options in the jabber-config.xml file, but for this example we will place just the information that we need to order for these clients to request and display Active Directory information.
Please note that the configuration may vary depending on your deployment, but at the very least we will be:
- Configuring a DC where we will perform the lookup.
- Configure credentials that will be used to perform the lookup. This will be an Active Directory account that has read rights on the Active Directory domain. Please note that these credentials are saved in plain text in the file, so ensure that the account that you will be using is not privileged.
- Configure the server port that we will be using to perform the lookup.
- Configure the Search Base. This is basically where we want the directory lookup to happen. You can either choose for this lookup to start at the "base" of the domain (and therefore the search will iterate through all the user accounts and and OUs below the root base) or define a specific OU where you want to search.
Caution!
- There is a current limitation with Cisco Jabber for Mac whereby you can only have 1 search base configured. Please keep this in mind if, like me, you have multiple OUs (like an OU for each company in your organization) and under these OUs you have sub OUs as a user account container.
- If using the top level search base, unless you specify a filter, you will potentially be able to search for all user accounts in the domain. You will need to configure the <BDIBaseFilter> parameter if you want to fine tune your search ability.
Steps
These are the steps I have followed. Other steps or considerations may vary.
- Log in to your TFTP server and download the jabber-config.xml file and keep it as a backup. If you are already using the jabber-config.xml file for other purposes, do not worry - you can add your BDI information parameters inside.
- Remove the jabber-config.xml file
- Edit the jabber-config.xml file and configure thus:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config version="1.0">
    <Directory>
        <DirectoryServerType>BDI</DirectoryServerType>
        <BDILDAPServerType>AD</BDILDAPServerType>
        <BDIPrimaryServerName>DOMAIN CONTROLLER IP ADDRESS</BDIPrimaryServerName>
        <BDIPresenceDomain>YOUR PRESENCE DOMAIN</BDIPresenceDomain>
        <BDIServerPort1>3268</BDIServerPort1>
        <BDISearchBase1>YOUR SEARCH BASE</BDISearchBase1>
       <BDIConnectionUsername>[email protected]</BDIConnectionUsername>
        <BDIConnectionPassword>PASSWORD</BDIConnectionPassword>
        <BDIEnableTLS>0</BDIEnableTLS>
   </Directory>
</config>
For example, let´s assume the following:
- Domain controller IP address is 10.1.1.2 .
- Your presence domain is test.local .
- Your search base will be test.local using the top level of the domain.
- Your username with which you will be doing your searches is called walt . Usually you can either identify walt as test.local\walt or [email protected] . It is always best, in these sort of scenarios, to use the UPN convention so we will be configuring a [email protected] .
- The password is the Active Directory password for the account walt .
- I have disabled TLS in my case. There are issues with the Jabber for Mac client when using other security methods.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config version="1.0">
    <Directory>
        <DirectoryServerType>BDI</DirectoryServerType>
        <BDILDAPServerType>AD</BDILDAPServerType>
        <BDIPrimaryServerName>10.1.1.2</BDIPrimaryServerName>
        <BDIPresenceDomain>test.local</BDIPresenceDomain>
        <BDIServerPort1>3268</BDIServerPort1>
        <BDISearchBase1>DC=test,DC=local</BDISearchBase1>
       <BDIConnectionUsername>[email protected]</BDIConnectionUsername>
        <BDIConnectionPassword>walt01!</BDIConnectionPassword>
        <BDIEnableTLS>0</BDIEnableTLS>
   </Directory>
</config>
One you have configured the jabber-config.xml file, you will now need to upload it to you TFTP server. Once uploaded, you will need to restart the Cisco TFTP service. Again, my TFTP server is on my CUCM publisher, so:
- I go to Cisco Unified OS Administration on my Publisher server, TFTP File Management and I upload jabber-config.xml to / directory
- I then go to Cisco Unified Serviceability on my Publisher server, I locate the Cisco TFTP service and I restart the service
Once this is done, you can figure up your Jabber for Mac client. As a test, on your Mac (using Terminal) go to:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Cisco/Unified Communications/Jabber/Config
In here you will see several files, but what we want to see is jabber-config.xml . As soon as you start the Jabber for Mac client and log in, the jabber-config.xml file will download from your TFTP server and get saved here. When you see it appear, just type in your terminal window more jabber-config.xml and make sure that the output is the same as the xml file you created.
From there, try doing directory search. If you have previously added contacts and they still lack attribute information, you will need to remove them (sometimes it will not refresh properly) and add them again from the directory.
I will be updating this guide and ammending anything that is incorrect, but this is meant to be a quick checklist and steps to get this, at least in the most very basic version, up and running for Jabber for Mac.

Hello,
Thanks for this post! It works, I can do lookup and also I can add found contact to contact list and get information about contact from LDAP.
One more question: - I can't get all information about contact. I don't get e.c mobile phone number and more others attributes. I have tried to expand your file as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config version="1.0">
<Directory>
<DirectoryServerType>BDI</DirectoryServerType>
<BDILDAPServerType>AD</BDILDAPServerType>
<BDIPrimaryServerName>IP of AD</BDIPrimaryServerName>
<BDIPresenceDomain>Presence Domain</BDIPresenceDomain>
<BDIServerPort1>3268</BDIServerPort1>
<BDISearchBase1> Search Base</BDISearchBase1>
<BDIConnectionUsername>User</BDIConnectionUsername>
<BDIConnectionPassword>Password</BDIConnectionPassword>
<BDIEnableTLS>0</BDIEnableTLS>
       <BDISipUri>msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress</BDISipUri>
       <BDIPhotoSource>thumbnailPhoto</BDIPhotoSource>
       <BDIBusinessPhone>telephoneNumber</BDIBusinessPhone>
       <BDIMobilePhone>mobile</BDIMobilePhone>
       <BDIHomePhone>homePhone</BDIHomePhone>
       <BDIOtherPhone>otherTelephone</BDIOtherPhone>
       <BDITitle>title</BDITitle>
       <BDICompanyName>company</BDICompanyName>
<BDILocation>co</BDILocation>
<BDIPostalCode>postalCode</BDIPostalCode>
       <BDICity>l</BDICity>
       <BDIState>st</BDIState>
       <BDIStreetAddress>streetAddress</BDIStreetAddress>
</Directory>
</config>
But it didn't help.
When I capture lookup via Wireshark, I can see that Jabbers sends search request with bunch of attributes, but from LDAP answer contains only 8 attributes. (see attached screenshots)

How to export an Mac Mail/Contact Group directly to a Google group

Hi, for my new blog, I would like to use Google Group to distribute it, but would like to avoid retyping each address into the Google group list. Is there a simple way to export the group I have already set up in my Apple contacts list directly to the Google Group? There are several hundred names.

Hi,
Export from the first machine running outlook 2010
Open Outlook on the computer containing the desired contacts and click the "File" tab.
Click "Options" then click "Advanced" to display advanced Outlook options.
Click the "Export" button, then select "Export to a file" and click "Next."
Select "CommaSeparatedValues (Windows)" as the file type and click "Next."
Select the Contacts folder when prompted, then click "Next." This will export all individual contacts and contact groups within the folder.
Click "Browse" and select where to save the export file. The destination location should be on a removable storage device such as a USB flash drive to allow you to import the file on the other computer.
Type a name for the file in the file name box and click "OK."
Click "Next" when prompted and then click "Finish."
Import to the second machine
Open Outlook on the computer you want to import the contacts to and click the "File" tab.
Click "Open" and then "Import."
Select "Import from another program or file" and then click "Next."
Select "CommaSeparatedValues (Windows)" when prompted to select the file type to import and then click "Next."
Select "Browse" to locate and choose the export file and then click "OK."
Select the desired import options and click "Next." The first option, "Replace Duplicates with Items Imported," allows the import process to overwrite existing contact information to prevent duplicate contact creation. The second option, "Allow Duplicates
to be Created," retains existing contact information and creates duplicate contact entries with the imported data. The third option, "Do Not Import Duplicate Items," retains existing contact information. These options only are relevant if duplicate contacts
already exist in Outlook on the computer running the import.
Click the Contacts folder when prompted to select the destination folder. Click "Next," followed by "Finish."
Hope that helps.

Problem adding members to a contact group in a public folder with EWS

I am trying to create contacts and contact groups in a public folder on Exchange 2013 using EWS 2.1 managed API.
In Outlook 2013, I can see the contacts and groups created. However, when I open the group and try to open a contact from the group, I get the following error:
Could not find contact "john doe ([email protected]". It may have been deleted or moved from its original location.
Would you like to remove it from the list?
I tried different methods to add the contact members to the groups, all with the same result.
If I manually add the contact to the group, or if I create the contacts and groups in a private folder, it works fine.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Are the contacts you added to the group in your contacts? If the shared contacts folder is not in your profile and enabled as an address book, you can't add their contacts to a group. (The mailbox needs to be opened as a mailbox for the contacts folder
to be enabled as an address book. )

How to delete calender and contacts from Sync?

Hi,
I tried to sync my cals and contacts with iPhoneMacMobileMe, and there are always duplicated. So I decided to sync everything over mobileMe only (iPhone MobileMe and MacMobileMe). I unselected the checkboxes in iTunes to sync theses data with iPhone. But on the iPhone, there's still data from last syncs - both from calender and contacts. How can I remove those from the iPhone, so that only mobileMe calenders and contacts are shown?
Thanks

I just, 30 minutes ago, learned, I think, the answer to that. I tried it and it worked for me. I had duplicate events and "sets" of calendars.
Delete the MobileMe account on the iPhone.
Restart the iPhone.
Add the MobileMe account back and turn on Calendar and Contact syncing.
You'll be asked if you want to merge the data. Tap yes.
This should, after a few minutes, set you up with only one set of calendars and contact groups.
Sync only over MobileMe and don't via iTunes.

Specifying certain contact groups to sync to iPhone via Mobile Me?

I'm hoping someone has an answer to this question. Pre MobileMe, I could specify in iTunes which groups of contacts (from Address Book) to sync to my iPhone. Now, I seem to have no control over this, resulting in about 1300 contacts on my iPhone. Needless to say, browsing contact info on my iPhone is sluggish.
Anyone know how to limit which contact/Address Book groups get sync via MobileMe to my iPhone?
Tx,
Bob

I don't believe this is possible.
All contacts and contact groups available in the Address Book on your Mac are kept synchronized with your MM online address book. I'm not aware of an option to sync only select Address Book groups in the Address Book on your Mac.

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

Help needed with contact/groups synching between phone and laptop via cloud

I installed OS X 10.7.5 and my software is up to date on both my I-phone and my MacBook. I have the cloud enabled. But now, when I try to access my contact groups on my I-phone, I just get the list of groups with checks beside them; I can't select a group and have those contacts displayed as they were
prior to installing the updates. I have cloud enabled and can see the groups displated when I go to the cloud.com site. But how do I get my iphone to display contacts by groups again? If I click on "Done" with all contacts and all groups checked, the display goes out of the groups category and back to the
list of all contacts. Do I need to change something in settings? At present, when USB-connected to the Mac and in I-tunes and looking at "information"
for my Iphone, I don't have synch contacts selected. I thought synching was happening via the cloud. I didn't make any change in that I-tunes synch setting
compared with before installing the new operating system and updating the rest of my software. If I need to check "synch contacts," do I check synch all
contacts or the box for synching groups. I want to have all my contacts and all group organization that's on my computer duplicated on my phone and would like to have synching happen without having to physically connect the phone to my computer. Help would be appreciated!
