Adding Skype for business contacts from skype

Hi everyone,
We've just made the move from Skype, to Skype for business, and I have logged in, merged my account etc and still dont have any of my Skype contacts appearing in Skype for business.
The only option I can see at the moment is to add all of the same people again in a different application? Surely that can't be the case as that makes Skype for business almost entirely pointless,.... any tips?
Thanks all.

Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
We'll check this issue and advise. Thanks for raising it. Please confirm which Operating System you are using and that you are running the latest software version.

Using Microsoft Exchange to access Gmail (Google Apps for Business) contacts, what is the best way to sync the Corporate Directory?

Using Microsoft Exchange to access Gmail (Google Apps for Business) contacts, what is the best way to sync the Corporate Directory? For instance, we have 40 staff members and wish to populate each phone with the Gmail profile. Right now we have a third party Android app that does this and copies my contacts to each phone. This is problematic. Any solutions to populate a phone with email and phone contacts? Even it it requires double entry for me...thats ok.

Oh, I meant Leopard does do more than Tiger Server.
I don't know enough about Server, even less abut Syncing.
SL is to new, not enough time to iron out the kinks yet imho.
One day SL will be better than Leo, but...
I'd ask over in server...

They may even have a different opinion on SL.

Is there a seperate App for business contacts?

i am starting a business and have downloaded a textfree app to text clients with a different number than my personal. In order to save my business contacts i have to add them into my personal contacts. Is there a way to either have another contact list or group my business associates from my personal family and friends?

Actualy you can manage your contacts by computer. Go to www.icloud.com , then sign in with your Apple ID. There you can add, edit, create groups and so on. But of course, you need to turn on back up your contacts by iCloud in your phone, in Settings>>iCloud
Hope it helps

I have set up iTunes and iCloud with my iPhone 4S but have not been able to get information from the manual for transferring contacts from Microsoft Office Outlook to my phone contacts. Is this possible and, if so, how are the contacts transferred?

Bug: Adding number to existing contact from a sms msg

A friend sent me an updated number in a txt message and I attempted to replace his existing number with the one in the txt message. I tapped the little blue arrow next to the txt message on my iPhone 4 and got a screen in which the phone number was listed with the following options: 'Call', 'Text Message', 'Create New Contact', 'Add to Existing Contact', and 'Share Contact'. When I tapped on 'Add to Existing', I was presented with a New Contact window. I tried this several times to make sure I hadn't tapped the wrong button. Clicking on 'Create New Contact' caused FaceTime to start up. The other buttons worked properly. Lastly, I tried going back to the sms message and tapping the blue arrow again. This time, the list had a 'FaceTime' button below the 'Text Message' button. The 'FaceTime' button was not there previously. This time, I was able to add to an existing contact and selected my friend. The number was automatically added as an iPhone tagged number, though I'm not sure if my friend has an iPhone 4 or not. He was previously using a Blackberry.

I have exactly the same problem. Rebooted iPhone but exactly the same:
Add to new contact starts facetime call. Add to existing contact starts add to new contact dialog.
This is a bug.

How to configure Mail for business contacts?

How can I configure Iphone 4S Mail to include default spaces to enter business phone, business fax number, and business address?

There is no default for those entries. you need to set it up manually by using the custom label.

Http connection timeout for business services from proxy service?

I've only done limited experiments in ALSB (2.1) at this point, but a question occurred to me, and I can't find this mentioned in the docs anywhere.
When a proxy service configures a connection to a downstream business service through HTTP, is it possible to configure an http connection timeout value? This will cause the connection attempt to fail if it takes too long to determine whether the connection attempt succeeded or failed.
I've heard that this is one advantage that Axis has over JAXRPC/SAAJ, as a connection timeout value can be specified.

Hello Billy
Thanks for the reply. I thought there may be some implementation of begin_request in another environment that had the option to specify a connect timeout. But as you have explained, it doesn't work like that. As always, I learn something every day!
So realistically if I want to stop the calling process hanging in the event of the server not being available, I need use the message based approach...send a message containing the request to another process via a message queue and attach to the reply queue and wait for a message comming back with a timeout. Does that sound like a reasonable approach?
Thanks
David

Adding Duplicates or Altering Contacts from MobileMe to Outlook on My PC

Outlook is used as my primary contact manager with MobileMe. Shortly after I purchased my IPad, the following message came up from MobileMe:
"Synching with "MobileMe" will change more than 25% of your contacts (Add 1182/Delete 0/Modify 1175"
This was trying to duplicate and/or modify contacts in Outlook from MobileMe which was a no no! I went to the Apple Store, a support person kindly reset and checked everything and it was working fine. We reset the notification status in MobileMe to any changes and it came up again to say:
""Synching with "MobileMe" will change more than 0% of your contacts (Add 13/Delete 0/Modify 1"
Again, a no no, just in lesser numbers since the notification threshold was set to any changes. I then turned off my sync with contacts button on my IPad
I am now receiving a new message that says,
"Register this computer in the Advanced option under the synch tab in the MobileMe Preferences on this computer.
How can I prevent MobileMe from trying to alter my contacts in Outlook? I also need help getting it all reset on my Ipad.
Thanks

In Outlook export the contacts as vCard files and then it just a matter of opening Address book and either importing them or you can drag them into the app.
It's a pretty simple process.

Skype for Business users not visible under "Online...

Hello,
It seems as if Skype for Business contacts do not appear in the "Online" contact list (see screenshot below), whether they are Online, Away, or Busy. If I switch to "All" contact list, the Skype for Business contacts immediatelly show up.
A workaround is to leave the "All" contact list, and hide offline contacts through Contacts -> Hide Contacts Who -> Are Offline.
While this workaround is good, I think it is much easier to use the contact list dropdown, than to go through the menu to view all contacts.
Has anybody experienced this same issue?
Thanks.
Solved!

Business Contact Manager for Outlook 365

I have a laptop with 8.1 OS and Office 2013 loaded and running fine. Use Business Contact Manager on my laptop and it works fine.
Can do the all the same on Office 365 except for Business Contact Manager. It is listed and shows up under Tasks but nothing happens when it is selected.

Hi,
I think the "Office 365" in the second paragraph should be Outlook 2013 in this customer's post.
Please go to FILE -> Options -> Add-ins, check if BCM is disabled or inactive. Enable it and start Outlook again to check the result.

Email - To: and Cc: fields won't show business contacts

Greetings everyone, my first post...
I'm using a BlackBerry Curve 8330 on the Bell network. Email is working great and everything, but I'm sick of dealing with one small problem:
Normally when you want to add a contact in the To: or Cc: fields, you just type the first letter of their name and then you can select the contact from the dropdown menu. This works, however, it only shows my personal contacts, whom I never email. I only use email for business contacts.
Whenever I want to forward an email, cc a contact on a reply, or compose a new email, I cannot add a business contact in this manner...I always have to manually type in their entire email address from memory, and that can get pretty tough or next to impossible sometimes.
My question is, how the heck do I change the dropdown menu from searching my personal contacts to search my business contacts? I've tried changing the filter settings in my address book back and forth from personal to business, but to no avail. Is there another setting somewhere else that I've overlooked?
One work around would be to just remove the personal/business categories and have everyone in the same list, but I'd like to keep my contacts organized. There's gotta be something I'm missing.
Thanks in advance for any help, it's much appreciated!

No problem. Here's the screen shot, this goes on for about 5 minutes and then the CC desktop crashes.
I can see the Home, Assets and Community, but I cannot see any apps at all. Apps don't display.
Let me know if you have any useful input.
Thanks!

How to Control the Sorting Order of iPhone Contacts from Outlook?

In a series of editing steps we've loaded ca. 1,900 personal and business contacts from Outlook into a 1st gen iPhone with 2.0.1 software on it. To our surprise we found that while most of the entries were listed and sorted by company, certain entries were listed and sorted by the person's name. It looked random and there didn't seem to be any way to control it on the iPhone.
While troubleshooting the problem we synced up the iPhone with an empty Address Book on a MacBook Pro and found that the sort order flag was indeed set differently on these entries. When we changed the sorting flag of a contact in the Mac's Address Book to "Company" it also changed on the iPhone after the next sync.
Problem: In our business environment it is impossible to switch to Macs for contact administration. We need to do it from Outlook. This is one of several features needed for the adoption of iPhones.
Question: Is there a way to control this flag on the individual iPhone contact entries from Outlook Contacts?

Well, I think we figured it out.
Outlook doesn't offer a sorting flag on person or company name. Instead it uses a separate "File As" string. The problem with our contacts was that this "File As" string was frequently edited to be something else than exactly the personal or company name, e.g. it was set to an abbreviated company name. Once we set the "File As" to any of the defaults offered, i.e. person or company name, the sorting flag in iPhone was properly set through the synchronization.
Obviously, the application logic compares the content of these fields in Outlook and decides how to set the flag. If it can't find the company name in "File As" it defaults to person.
This was an expensive holdup for us. It cost us 2 man days to figure it out. Is there any place where such application logic is described?
