Address Book and MailStreet Exchange Server not synchronizing

I was reading the discussion in this thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1008103&tstart=3147) but it has been archived and I can't reply there. So here's a new topic.
I'm having the same problem, only I'm trying to connect to a hosted Exchange 2007 server through mailstreet.com. I also successfully connected and synchronized to a hosted Exchange 2003 server through mail2web.com, so it appears that the poster who says that Address Book only works with Exchange 2000 was mistaken.
I found little reference to this issue online except for one article at Snerdware (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1008103&tstart=3147), which mentions in the fourth and fifth paragraphs from the bottom that this person had the exact same issue with the MailStreet setup.
I have a hard time believing that it is specifically the MailStreet service that is at fault, since Address Book connects to the same ports that are opened for Outlook Web Access and the WebDAV services that Entourage connects via (and Entourage successfully connects to the MailStreet server using the Exchange WebDAV protocol).
Is it a setting thing? I've tried every permutation of the MailStreet Exchange server's address (including prepending it with http://, https://, suffixing it with /exchange, /exchange/username, /exchange/domain\username, using my login with just my username and with domain\username, etc. I cannot get it to work.
MailStreet customer service said that unfortunately they do not support synchronzing with the OS X Address Book. However, the agent who emailed me back did say that he has heard of it working sometimes with the same settings I was attempting to use, so that both encourages and discourages me.
Any ideas how to make this work?
Also, I have the install disc for 10.5 but have not yet upgraded. Maybe the Leopard Address Book app has additional Exchange functionality...?

I found another thread that more closely describes the problem I'm having:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1045312&tstart=3705
I've identified the same Translator crash mentioned in that thread. Each time I try to manually sync Address Book with the Exchange server, I see the Translator crash pop up in the console.
This is now happening on two Exchange servers. I have not gone back and tested to see if the Mail2Web one works--that will likely be my next step. But what on earth could be configured incorrectly to cause Translator to crash?
Interestingly, if I change the Outlook Web Access server setting from https://server.domainname.com/exchange/domain\username to https://server.domainname.com/exchange, I get an error popping up that "iSync couldn't connect to Exchange / Could not reach the server specified." With it in the former setting (which is how Address Book defaulted the Outlook Web Access server setting after I entered the username and password), it fails silently but Translator crashes in the background.
Interestingly, too, with the former option, I see either no TCP traffic with tcpdump or one short line of gibberish with my IP address talking to the Exchange server's address. With the latter option (without the domain and username appended to the end), I see a good bit more TCP traffic--more like 20 rows in a standard-sized Terminal window, so it is talking to something.

Data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts do not match.

The data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts are different. How can I get my iCloud data to accruately reflect that of my iMac address book? It appears to be an initial synchronization issue. New entries synchronize fine. Appears that initial entries in my Address Book are not showing up in the iCloud Contacts list. Hense, My iPhone coantacts don't match those in my iMac.
Is there a way to clean out my iCloud contacts on reload/re-sychronize it with my iMac Address Book?

Nuts isn't it. This seems to have been an issue snce dAY 1. iT FROSTS ME THAT THERE IS NO SIMPLE QUICK WAY TO UPDATE OR CORRECT the data in both programs simultaneously.. Thats why i decided to just put everytning into the i cloud address brook, and let the one other sit and rot.
then i got smart and said, why don't I delete the outlookaddress book files. and save on confusion.
result - both addresses books and their contents became invisible to outlook.!!!!!! and I can find no way to correct this...to go back to the imperfect world that was.
I did get the outlook contact s back from an archive - but any thing from icloud has become inaccessible from outlook. (fortunately i can get the vcard infformation directly from icloud. but I can't access it from outlook mail.... means no replying, forwarding etc - and a time swallowing nuisance..

Syncing iPhone to iCal and Address Book and vice versa do not work

I am a 6 year Mac user and a 1 1/2 year iPhone user. What I am about to tell you should have been addressed long ago. When I sync my iPhone to my iMac only the applications and music sync. Neither data from the iCal or Address Book sync either way. I used to be able to sync appointments from my original iPhone to iCal, but my 3G phone does not sync at all. Could you tell me where to turn or what to do. I think I need to fix it.
And, how do I change the calendars on the iPhoen. All events are on the same calendar and I can't figure out how to specify a calendar for an event. You would think I would know this by now, but I don't......Thanks so much

If you have selected the Address Book and iCal under the Info tab for your iPhone 3G sync preferences to sync contact info and calendars with and this is not working, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
Quit iTunes, the Address Book, and iCal first. Launch iSync and to to iSync preferences. After selecting reset sync history, restart your Mac and try syncing this data again.
When creating a new calendar event, there is a selection for which calendar you want to place the new event in if you have multiple calendars.
If you have multiple calendars, you can select the calendar you want to create the new event in. After launching Calendar, there is a Calendars selection at the top to view all calendars. You can select a calendar to view all entries for that calendar only and for entering a new event for that calendar. Or select All Calendars to view the events for all calendars. When creating a new event with All Calendars selected, you can choose which calendar with the new event entry.

Address Book and MS Exchange

Is there a way to use Mac's Address Book with Exchange Server 2003? I am working on getting them to enable IMAP access so I can use mail.app but am so ready to punt Entourage. I figure worst case scenario I can use the WebAccess to e-mail and mac apps for everything else.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Unfortunately NO
The only way is to use Entourage and sync with Mac Address book. Whenever you want to sync, you have to do the same overwriting existing Mac Address book. The option that you see in Address book does not sync with Exchange Server 2003. As per Apple's document it does with older version (2000) only.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad58.html
We have to wait until Apple realises there is new version of Exchange just like Tiger ...

Problem with Address Book and Exchange

Hello,
I have a little problem with Address Book and Microsoft Exchange 2003. I am able to connect to Outlook Web Access via Safari without problem. I see my contacts. Unfortunately when I setup everything needed in Address Book preferences (Synchronize with Exchange) the contacts didn't show in my Address Book. Strange thing is that no error is generated. can someone please help me what I am doing wrong ? Thanks in advance.

My suggestion is that you consider using Microsoft Entourage. For Exchange users on a Mac, Entourage is by far the best option. The down side is, you need to buy Microsoft Office 2004 to get Entourage, but your employer might own a site license, in which case, Office 2004 might not cost you anything.

Address Book and Exchange Server - NO NOTES SYNCING???

I have my address book syncing very nicely with my exchange server, but notes do not seem to want to sync. If I create a note on the web access, it doesn't copy to the address book, and none of the address book notes copy to the exchange.
I can't get an answer out of Apple Support either if they are supposed to sync or not! Has anyone here gotten notes to sync with exchange?
Thanks so much. I have searched for over 4 hours on Google and these boards, and noone even mentions notes, leaving me to believe that they SHOULD sync.

Arrgggh! That's a bummer, they could just strip out the notes if they had attachments or something.. or give an error. I have no attachments, and notes are extremely important to me.
Oh well.. there goes my ability to do away with Entourage!

Address book and calendar not synchronized after upgrade to iTunes 11.0

Mac OS X 10.6.8.
iPhone 4
After upgrading to iTunes 11.0, the address book and iCal do not synchronize between iPhone and iMac.
I have already restarted both devices in vain.
Thanks for help

I have only the problem with iCal, not with the contact application.
I don't know when it started but I have iTunes 11.0.1 (12) and iOS 6.1 on my iPhone 4
The modification on my iPhone calendar are not on my iMac, but the other way works.
It really looks like a bug !!!!!! :-(

Microsoft Exchange Categories in iCal, Address Book and Mail

I work in a Microsoft environment with my MacBook Pro and would like to use iCal, Address Book and Mail as my default applications rather than Microsoft Oulook 2011, however, there is not support for the Microsoft Exchange Categories to be replicated into the various Apple applications. This results in my address book not to differentiate any longer from my contact categories stored on the Exchange server, nor my calendar. Categories can be created in iCal and other Apple applications but it then requires for the event or contact to be duplication "On my Mac" which makes me loose my synchronization with other systems. Any idea about to fix that?

Same issue here. I would love to migrate to iCal but the lack of support for categories is a limiting factor. Same applies to Contacts.

Issues with Global Address Book and Out of Office saying Exchange is Offline.

So we have an Exchange 2010 server that has been running fine for quite a few years. We recently changed our firewall to an ASA 5510 and created all the firewall rules necessary to have email work through it. Everything works fine so naturally we thought
everything was good to go.
Then I started getting messages that the Out of Office wasn't working an that when users where trying to set their away message they would get a message from outlook that the exchange server was unavailable, yet when I
check the outlook client it would say Connected to Microsoft Exchange at the bottom. I thought this was crazy so I started looking further into it and it turns out that the name for the server owa.xxxxxx.net points to a public address, which of course lives
on the outside interface to the ASA. In ASA world it doesn't like private space (ie. 192.168.x.x) talking to the outside interface and drops the packets, where our old firewall did not. So as a short term fix I had the users using OWA site with a internal
address to set their out of office message. This worked fine until today when I rebooted the email server and started getting support calls saying that when users where selecting the To: button in a new email that once again they were getting messages saying
that they were not connected to exchange, yet they once again outlook said they were. I then started playing with the host name owa.xxxxxx.net again. This time I changed the hosts file on a box and pointed the internal IP of the exchange server to that
host name. Restarted the outlook client and things started to work as they should. I have played with split DNS to see if this would help so I wouldn't have to do this with every client in the network, and it was promising until I realized that we many hosts
that use this domain and an external DNS server that takes care of these requests that now the internal users will never reach. Funny part is that if we take one of our laptops out side the network everything works fine as well.
So I'm guessing that some of the processes that connect Outlook to Exchange use the FQDN of the server or IP address, and that other things such as the Global Address Book and Out of Office use the External Host Name.
Any help to point these request at the Internal FQDN/IP would be great, or if someone can think of another way of dealing with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Titan,
correct me if i have missed something but are users able to look up contacts in GAL?
If you update (ex mobile number for a user) then run the following commands(one for each line):
Get-GlobalAddressList | update-GlobalAddressList
Get-AddressList | update-AddressList
Get-OfflineAddressBook | Update-OfflineAddressBook
Restart Your Outlook in 5 min,then do a manual OAB download.Is info on that user updated?
Does GAL from frm OWA?
if im not wrong,Status and Out of Office use EWS for status update.
Please run the following command:
Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity “mailserver01\EWS (Default Web Site)” |fl *internalUrl*
where mailserver01 is the server that is having the issue.
Then please check if internal URL is correct for that server (and those that are having issues.
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you. Thank you! Off2work

Synchronizing Address Book against a home server

I have a Bubba Two home server setup with Debian Etch, and a Mac Mini.
I want to synchronize Address Book’s contacts against this home server. What is the protocol or method of doing this? I want to synchronize the Address Book on two Macs through this server (and thus have three copies/backups too).
PS: Don’t mention MobileMe. I know what the service does, but I want to use my own hardware.

I have no idea what a Bubba Two or a Debian Etch are, but I created a unix bash script that uses the rsync -vvSauWEe ssh --delete --progress --stats command, and also made a launchd plist file to control when the script fires (you could use cron to automate the launch time, too -- it's deprecated but it still works).
I am running this across the internet at large to sync Address Book and iCal between distant machines. If you plan to operate similarly, then note the -e ssh switch. You will need to set up ssh on all affected machines to use passwordless public/private key authentication. If you search the Unix forum here using the search term ssh-keygen I suspect you will find plenty of info on how to do that, if you don't know about that already. And, of course, if you are running across the internet at large, don't forget about port forwarding in your router.
man launchd.plist and man rsync are some of the better man pages that I have seen. The rsync man page gives pretty good down-to-earth examples of how to use it, in my opinion.

TB v. 24.0: Changed ISP's; ~ new email in Server Settings & Outgoing Server & all Address Books and Contacts; TB still showing old email ID for Fwd & Rply

TB v. 24.0, Win 7 Pro. Changed ISP's. I use Outlook 2007; wife uses TB, same box. Changed TB username & e-mail address in Server Settings & Outgoing Server & set as Default. Changed e-mail address in all address books and Contact lists. Now TB still showing old e-mail address in <From> when Reply or Forward. This is confusing recipients, who have been sending their replies off to a now-nonexistent account. Checked Windows Contacts - empty. Checked my Outlook 2007 - all Contacts changed appropriately. How do I kill that old e-mail address in TB when it isn't even listed any more - except when we try to Reply or Forward?

When you got the new email address and changed ISP's, you needed to create a new mail account for that new existing email address.
When a mail account is created there are many preferences setup to be able to manage and run that mail account. Trying to track down and modify all of those within the either the config editor or prefs.js is not only time consuming, but you could easily cause further problems if any error is made.
So I suggest you fix the original account by reentering all the old data. Then create a new mail account for the new exisitng mail address.
* File > New> Existing mail account.
or
* 3bar menu icon > New Message > Existing Mail account.
when you have both mail accounts in your left folder pane, you can choose to move any wanted emails from the older mail account into suitable folders in Local Folders. This will save a copy of emails.
Then you can delete the old account, leaving saved emails in Local Folders and only one new mail account.
To remove mail account:
* Tools > Account sEttings
* select old mail account
* click on 'Account Actions'
* select 'Remove Account'
* click on OK

Address book and exchange

Hi,
I'm using exchange email at work and I already configured my ipad to sync with email, contacts and calendar.
The problem is that when I connect my iPad with iTunes to sync them also with my Mac (Address Book and Calendar), the exchange contacts on my iPad are not listed in iTunes.
Can you please help on how to copy and sync exchange contacts/calendars from my iPad to my MAC?
Thanks
Cesare

Arrgggh! That's a bummer, they could just strip out the notes if they had attachments or something.. or give an error. I have no attachments, and notes are extremely important to me.
Oh well.. there goes my ability to do away with Entourage!

Syncing Address book and Exchange 2007 - some problems

Hello,
I do have a weird problem, not all of my contacts are uploaded to exchange when I create them in Address Book. I need this so that exchange pushes them on my Blackberry.
In Address Book 5 (Snow Leopard), I do have 2 accounts : On My Mac and Exchange.
Do I need to copy them over? If yes, then, how to avoid duplicates?
Thanks beforehand for your help.
Jean-Francois.

Since Apple does not even support public folders of the type "mail" for their Apple Mail, I doubt they will support "contact" PFs any time soon. Your only chance will be to add the information from your contact PFs to you Active Directory as "Contacts". These will be shown in your Exchange GAL, which is accessible with Address Book and your Outlook users will still be able to also use the contacts.

SMS - Sending to numbers not in your address book and inserting smiley faces

Hi
I'm new to the world of Blackberry and sorry if this has been posted elsewhere - I've trawled through and can't find anything similiar.
When composing SMS messages, I can only send to those people who are in my address book as the address book automatically opens when you select compose SMS.
Obviously there are times when you need to text to numbers not in your address book so how do you do it?
So far the only solution I have got is to add numbers to my address book and then delete them. Surely there must be a way you can just enter the number manually when you need to?
Secondly is there a shortcut on the Blackberry Pearl to insert smiley faces in SMS messages without entering :-) manually?
Thanks for your help
Trish
I love my Blackberry

You right. I misread. Hitting the SYM key is only for messenger, not for SMS. I didn't anyway to insert emoticons into an SMS message
