AD stored user Photos do not display in Lync for Mac 2011

I'm using Lync for Mac 2011 14.0.9 and the my user photo as well as the photos of other users who are using photos stored in our AD do not display. This behaviour has been occurring at least since 14.0.5. The behaviour occurs regardless of whether
I sign in using Kerberos or name / Password. This behaviour is common for all our Mac lync users. The only photos that display are ones from windows lync users that have chosen to use a photo that is stored on the internet somewhere.
The Lync for Mac 2011 client is running against Lync Server 2010 and Exchange 2010 servers.
I also have the common problem that I cannot search the global address book for lync users. Maybe this is related but none of the reports I've seen about the address book search have mentioned anything about photos not displaying.
Anyone Experience similar issues or know where I could start to find the problem with the contacts display? It used to work correctly way back in 14.0.2 and subsequently an update around 14.0.5 killed the features for me.
Oh and the Mac is running OSX 10.9 but the issues also occurred in OSX 10.8
Thanks!

Hi,
Did you choose “Show a picture from a web address” on Windows Lync 2010 client? If yes, on Windows Lync 2010 client, choose “Default corporate picture” instead of “Show a picture from a web address”. Then open Lync 2011 on Mac computer to test the issue.
The choose will sync to all Lync clients for the same Lync account.

Hi friends,
I have the same problem.
Mountain Lion + Office 2011 + Safari 6.1.2 (8537.74.9)
It is not clear to me what is the relation between Safari and this problem.
I have Chrome installed as well and it is set as default browser. Is this involved?
If yes how can I solve the problem?
Please let me know.
Many thanks.

Retina display - blurry office for mac 2011 and web pages?

Hi everyone,
I was planning on making a trip to my uni tomorrow to make the purchase of the macbook pro 13 inch 8GB RAM and 256 GB SSD (for student discount) but while doing some final research I came across several disadvantages of the RD.
For the next 3 months, the macbook will be used for report/thesis writing which means ill be using office for mac 2011 and adobe reader heavily as well as the internet. I have read many articles saying office for mac 2011 even after applying the update is still blurry and grainy as are the majority of web pages and this has put me off buying and made me think id be better off with the non retina display model, meaning I'd save £200 too.
Can anyone offer any advice on this and confirm whether or not this is true, and whether you would recommend going ahead with the purchase? A screenshot of office for mac 2011 on a retina display would be perfect
Thanks!

I agree with BobTheFisterman. I have Pages 5, Pages '09 and Office for Mac 2011. I really like the Pages programs - each of the versions in their own way - but I don't like using Word on Office for Mac. It's not the same as Office 10 when used on a Windows machine. Not close at all in fact. I use it because I have it, and emailing documents between my Mac and work where we use Windows makes it easy. "Easy" is not the same as liking the software though.
The point of this, is that I would not recommend buying it. I've heard that Open Office and Libre Office are very credible alternatives, and work very much like Word on Windows. Both are free and get very good reviews. I've not used either so can't speak from personal experience, but what I would say after buying Office for Mac is that I wish I had tried the free alternatives first.
The other alternative to consider of course of Google Drive. I use that for non-confidential documents, but I wouldn't trust it for storage of any confidential work related stuff.

Lync for Mac 2011 does not update Presence properly.

Hello all,
I work in a Enterprise environment, we run Active Directory and bind our Macs to the domain. We use Lync for Mac, and I've noticed that on the Mac clients, the user status does not update accordingly. When my users are in a conference call, it shows
available, etc. It works fine on a Windows machine with that same user.
If the event is on the Outlook calendar, sometimes it will show them as away during that time period, but it does not seem to update when on the phone/in a meeting, etc.
Any advice would be appreciated, my user is on Mac OSX 10.9.3 and Lync 14.0.8.
Thank you,
Michael

We are seeing the exact same thing at our company. A hundred or more Macs all with broken presence.
Its issues like this that have us looking at Jabber now - Cisco doesn't seem to have buggy OS X software like Microsoft. That will be 40,000+ seats lost due to this and other issues. Maybe if enough hit MS in their pocketbook
they will start paying more attention to Macs.. or at least test them before rolling out software.
Note a few things regarding our setup:
1. Our Lync is on-prem 2010 and 2013 mix
2. Our email is in 365
3. We are using ADFS and FIM for SSO, Dirsync.
4. We do not domain join our Macs. (back when Lion wrecked all our domain joined accounts we stopped with that foolish practice)
It worked with previous versions of Lync 2011.
It works for zero Lync 2011 users. Lync 2013 on-prem domain joined machines work. We see the same thing where a Mac users also logged into 2013 on a Windows machine will help update the Lync 2011 client... but its not an acceptable work-around.
I suspect its having difficulties with the external cert.

Keynote will not open in Powerpoint for Mac 2011

I followed all the instructions for saving the Keynote presentation for Powerpoint. But, when Powerpoint for Mac 2011 tries to open it, it will not open and gives me an error message indicating it needs repair; I click repair, it says there is something missing. Help!!!

There have been many postings on this problem recently. It seems that opening the exported PP in 2004 and saving it will then allow it to open in PP 2011. If you don't have an older version of PP, try to download OpenOffice or some other free office program, open the exported PP in there and then try in PP 2011.

Lync for mac 2011 not working in corporate LAN

Hi guys,
I have a mac client that has newest version 14.0.10 of lync installed. The Mac works on OS X Yosemite
operating system. The problem is that when you connect to corporate LAN, lync never connects and gives
following error:
Sign in to Microsoft Lync failed because the service is not available or you may not be connected to the Internet.
If you share a connection via mobile or connect via outside network, you are able to log in and lync functions properly
I have tried to update root certificate on mac via copying one from windows client, but with no luck.

Hi Itseeker1,
As ErikHMac stated, the new version of Lync for Mac 14.0.11 has been released, you can install it and check if the issue is solved.
I know you have installed the root certificate on Mac, but please check it again and make sure the certificate is issued by an Enterprise Certificate Authority (Internal CA) and
also should be trusted by the Lync Server.
In addition, it looks like an Internet connectivity issue, please try to flush the DNS cache by running the following command.
dscacheutil -flushcache
Hope it can be helpful.
Best regards,
Eric

Stock Quote Query still not working in Excel for Mac 2011

I've been following this thread and like many others, stock quotes in Excel for Macintosh 2011 stopped working for me shortly before Christmas. While I've noticed that it will work on my work computer which is running windows 7, I can not get it

Photo gallery not displaying when published to .mac

Hey,
I'm having some trouble publishing my photo gallery. I do not want to publish it as a web gallery from iPhoto then link to it with iWeb. What I want to do is to send a gallery from iPhoto into iWeb, and have it published as part of the website. When I send a gallery over to iWeb, it loads up great, and I have all the functionality that one would expect when doing this so by all indications, it will load up great on my .mac account. When I publish the website, it does say that it is publishing the photo gallery page, but the issue is that none of my galleries ever show up! I do not know what to do, I have tried completely deleting the photo gallery page and remaking it in case I did something wrong in the design somewhere, but it still does not load up. If I link in a web gallery, it does show up, but, again, that is not what I want to do. I am at a loss for what may be causing the error. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Heather

Publishing a iPhotoalbum to iWeb is the same as dragging the album from the media browser to iWeb.
When I send a gallery over to iWeb, it loads up great, and I have all the functionality that one would expect when doing this so by all indications, it will load up great on my .mac account.
When I publish the website, it does say that it is publishing the photo gallery page, but the issue is that none of my galleries ever show up!
What is it? Does it upload great to dotMac or doesn't it?
There's only one thing to do. Publish it. No need to upload. iWeb takes care of that.
It helps if you provide a URL to said page.

Judging by your post (because you are using sipdir.online.lync.com) are you a Lync Online subscriber? Or does the user only have a Windows Live/Skype account?
Basically if you're using Lync Online, you can just sign-in using your Lync Online user name, which will either be something like [email protected] or if you have set custom domains it will just be [email protected]
It won't work with Skype/Windows Live accounts.
If you have an on-premise Lync externally you will connect through your Edge with the Mac client, or if inside the LAN you may need to install the root certificate from your internal Certificate Authority if you're using an internal issued rather than public
(GoDaddy, Verisign, Digicert, etc.) certificate.

WMV Files Not Playing In Powerpoint For Mac 2011 (Lion OS)?

Hi guys!
I recently upgraded to Lion (and I think I like it) BUT I have been putting together a Power Point presentation for work (I'm a University Lecturer) and trying to embed some movies with no luck... I insert the files and go to play them, but all I get is audio. I have tried MOV, AVI, WMV, MP4, etc, etc... no joy. I have tried Flip 4 Mac, QuickTime and VLC... no joy. When I play the embedded file, no video, just audio!
Before I upgraded to Lion, it was esy... convert the clips, inset into PowerPoint, and away I go!
HELP!!!

Contact pictures not displaying in Lync 2011 for Mac

Using Lync 2011 for Mac I'm not seeing any contact pictures (including my own), though I can see them when signed into Lync 2013 on a Windows PC (7, 8.1, and 10 Technical Preview for Enterprises).
My company uses O365 hosted Exchange and on premise Lync Server.
I'm using OSX 10.10.1 (on a 2014 Air) and Lync for Mac 2011 14.0.10 (141024). I have AutoUpdate set to automatically check weekly and I manually checked (button at the bottom of Microsoft AutoUpdate) so I believe I'm running the current release.
Logging in with another user account on my same Mac/Lync install has the same issue
Another user account on their own Mac also has the same issue
It's also worth noting that the same issue arises when signing into Lync for Android and iOS as well, but not on Windows (Lync 2013).
Any thoughts? Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
Also, my apologies for putting this question in this subforum, but I didn't see any main forum for Office for Mac or Lync 2011 or Lync for Mac at all. If there is such here on technet, please drop the link here and I'll move the thread.

Hi abacus02,
On mobile, you have no control over how photos are displayed. Lync Mobile can only display photos retrieved from Active Directory or SharePoint, it cannot display a photo from a URL. If a user
is displaying a photo from a URL and there is a photo in AD, it will display the photo from AD. If there is no photo in AD, it will display no photo at all.
About Lync for Mac, as I know Lync 2011 for Mac does not support high resolution images. Only in Lync 2013,
In Lync 2013, when the user’s photo experience has been migrated to Exchange 2013 and they are using Lync 2013, high resolution photos can be used.
So please tell us where the photos are stored, we need more information to troubleshoot the issue.
Best regards,
Eric

Lync for mac not signing in

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Navigation & Photo Page not displaying within some browsers

Hello,
I am using iWeb '08 and am having great difficulties trying to get my site cross browser compatible. The site is working perfectly on the Mac in Firefox 2 & Safari but not Firefox 3. It is also not displaying correctly in Firefox 2.0.0.13 and IE7 on my WinXP machine. Unfortunately the error is not just a cosmetic issue. The Main Navigation is not displaying on any page and only shows a bullet point where it is meant to be. The other error occurs in the Photo Template and the photos are not displaying. I am using a "Version 1 template" and did a test with a "version 2" template that provided the same errors.
Has anyone else had these problems???

You have applied a height of "auto"to your menubar container, which gives it no height at all in some browsers. If you have a clue what height you would like to display for your menubar, give it, instead of:
    <div style="height: auto;" id="p7PMM_1" class="p7PMMh04">
Better yet, leave it in the CSS file, where you will find it when you go looking for it. You already assign a height there:
.p7PMMh04 {
    width: auto;
    height: 20px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 11px;
    font-weight: bold;
    background-image: url(http://home.roadrunner.com/~jgigandet/trinity/img/new_bk.gif);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    background-color: #000;
    text-align: left;
    line-height: normal;
Because your inline style of height:auto; has more proximity (is closer) to the element being styled, it overrides the style in the stylesheet and applies the height: auto; instead of allowing the height: 20px;
