Apple Contacts creates a new contact with email address only.

We have Exchange 2013 (Office 365) Configured and having issues where Apple Contacts seems to add email addresses of people we've sent messages to. It doesn't matter if they are already in the Contacts on exchange. These contacts do not sync to Exchange server. I cannot find them on my iPhone, only on Mac. They just show up in Apple Contacts. So when browsing through your contacts you will see multiple email addresses stacked on top of one another.
If you do a search for the card in Apple Contacts it doesn't find the card.
It appears to be random when Apple Mail decides to create these contacts, not every time an email is sent?
Any insights would be appreciated.

wbgator,
Thanks for the idea. I think your definitely on the right page here. I found the light version settings of OWA in a slightly different place. But you are correct that the E-Mail Name Resolution option appears. (odd it's not in the main version)
For me I found it , under Options, and General Outlook on the Web Version.
I was then able to go and remove the check mark beside "add recent recipients to the Most Recent Recipients List, and I clicked the Clear Most Recent Recipients list button.
Sadly for me, the email addresses were still in my Contacts App. I removed and re-added the account again and they still re-appeared.
I was using Safari for a browser. I will try to use Chrome and press "Clear Most Recent Recipients" and post my findings again.

  • Hi everyone. New IPad 2 for christmas. Synced via my computer using iTunes. Question about contacts. My contact list only copied to my iPad contacts with email addresses only. The contacts that were transferred only have email address.

    Hi everyone. New iPad 2 for Christmas. When I transferred contact to the iPad, I only got some of my contacts. In the contacts that I did transfer, the contacts only have the email listed. No phone numbers, birthdays,etc. Is it possible to correct this as I would like to have all the same contact lists on my iPhone and iPad?

    Do the numbers still exist in your google contacts?
    Google recently terminated support for new configurations of gmail using Exchange Active Sync for unpaid accounts. In theory, existing configurations will continue to work, but there have been some problem reports.
    I've seen several mentions of the problem you describe in the last few days and so far, they've gone unresolved as far as I can tell. The root cause may be in google's termination of AES support.
    Facebook contact sync may also be a suspect.

  • HT4897 I created an alias precisely because I wanted to make it the new default name and then quickly realized it wasn't possible. How long after deleting the alias will it become available again so that I can create a new account with it?

    I'm trying to make iCloud mail my primary email but I'm concerned that I may have lost the perfect email address forever.

    I have the same problem. After our wedding I've created an alias ([email protected]) to my actual AppleID Account ([email protected]). Now I'd the idea to delete the alias and my actual AppleID to create a new AppleID with ([email protected]).
    Is there really no possibilty to do this?
    Thanks in advance for quick and positive feedback.

  • How about a new "Change My Email Address" forum?

    Since it doesn't look like you have any interest in letting people update their email address, how about if you create a new "Change My Email Address" forum so at least we can all gripe in one place?

  • Hi! I have 2 Apple IDs but cant log in one. Says info doesnt match. Choosing to receive email, but email is not comming too. Trying to create a new id with old email-denies becuase it is existing. How can I get into old AppleID? Have few expensive apps.

    Could it be so that I have deleted the old AppleID? All applications are still on the device, but I cant get them on new device. When I try to create a new id with an old email, it doesnt allow saying that the address is already occupied. It means the ID exists, but I cant get in... (I was trying to change address, just dont know if I succeed or not.)
    Thank you in advance

    So For everyone that is having the issue of iCloud asking for an old email there is a very simple fix, as long as its a simple switch from one email to another on one apple ID account.
    1. Sign into appleid.apple.com with your current ID.
    2. Edit the primary email to the one requested. (You DO NOT need to verify the old email.)
    3. Sign out of iCloud on any device using the old ID.
    4. Edit the primary email (on appleid.apple.com) back to the desired email address.
    5. Verify that email address.
    6. Sign into iCloud with the correct email.
    As for anyone that is unable to verify their account due to not receiving the verification email, contact apple support for further assistance.

  • I have 2 apple id's with different apps and data saved under each.  It's very annoying so now I want to create a new id with my primary email address I use now.  If I do that is there any way to transfer all my saved apps and app data like game saves etc?

    I have 2 apple id's with different apps and data saved under each.  It's very annoying so now I want to create a new id with my primary email address I use now.  If I do that is there any way to transfer all my saved apps and app data like game saves etc so I don't lose all of that information and can easily switch to a singular apple id?

    Apple does not transfer content bought with one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple will not merge two Apple IDs.
    If most of your content was bought with the Yahoo! Apple ID but you now want the Gmail address for your Apple ID, the trick will be to change the address used for the Yahoo ID with the Gmail address. However, to do that you must first free the Gmail address from that other Apple ID. Use the instructions from Apple to substitute another address that is not used as an Apple ID for your Gmail address in the Apple ID with the Gmail address. Then, when the Gmail address is no longer used in an Apple ID, you can use the same instructions to substitute the Gmail address for the Yahoo address in the Apple ID with the Yahoo address.

  • HT2486 how do I copy an existing Group in Contacts to create a new group with the same contacts in it?

    How do I copy an existing group in Contacts to create a new group with the same contacts in it?

    Hi there,
    Unfortunately the use case you describe hasn't been implemented in Firefox. It's not possible to move a tab group out to its own window at this point. Generally the tab groups feature hasn't been worked on much recently, not sure why.
    As to TabMixPlus, that's a third-party add-on which Mozilla doesn't directly support. You can find support links from the add-on page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    David

    My email address changed and I had to delete my account and create a new one with the new address. After I did this all of the data in my iPhone calendar is gone. How can I recover this vital data?

    It is my understanding that if you delete the account per the instructions below, you will be able recreate, but you will NOT have access to the prior BBM contacts.

    You have to remember either the BlackBerryID password, or the secret question answer. Without either, you're stuck.
    Your choices are:
    --Use another email account to create an entirely new BlackBerryID (with which you will lose access to any purchased apps using the "forgotten" first BlackBerryID, or
    --Find the initial email you were sent to confirm the initial BlackBerryID, and in it is a link to click to cancel and delete the account. Click on that, delete the account and then you can use that same email to create an entirely new account.
    Good luck.

  • Mavericks will not sync Apple Contacts with Google, Linkedin, and Facebook?

    I just upgraded to Mavericks. Here is what I find shocking...
    1. Mavericks will NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
    2. During the upgrade, Mavericks linked some of my Apple Contact cards with Google Contacts, but not all of them. It need to be clarified that linking is not syncing. Worse, it corrupted data, and deleted some of the contacts on Google Contacts.
    3. Similarly, Apple Contacts will not sync with Linkedin or Facebook Contacts.
    4. When I contacted Apple, Level 1 support had not idea and assumed that adding a Google Account with automatically sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts as it did in OS Mountain Lion. Level 2 support did not have much of an idea either, but called me this morning to say that the matter has been escalated, and confirmed that OS X Maverick does NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts.
    CAUTION before upgrading to Mavericks:
    5. Your Google Contacts / Android devices will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.
    6. Your Facebook / Linkedin contats will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.
    The workaround:
    7. Before upgrade, ensure that your Mountain Lion or earlier address book in synced with Google Contacts.
    8. After upgrade, go to Contacts > Preferences > General > Default Account, and choose your Google Account as your default account. You will now add New Contact (or update existing Google Contacts) in Google Contacts, which your android devices can sync with. You will also see your Google Contacts in Apple Contacts. However, Apple Contacts will NOT sync with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
    Welcome to Mavericks...

    With all due respect @McFly_Marty, kindly do not mislead readers. As funny as it may sound, but you have been taken for a royal ride by Apple Support. Keep in mind that the tough taskmaster Steve Jobs, is no longer there, and it is no surprise that Apple’s innovations are sliding.
    You probably have chosen Google as your default account under "Contacts > Preferences > General > Default Account”.
    Now, when you add New Contact (or update existing Google Contacts) in Google Contacts, you will also see your Google Contacts in Apple Contacts. However, Apple Contacts will NOT sync with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
    Try disabling your Google account in Apple Contacts, and all your new contacts are no longer in Apple contacts. Therefore Apple contacts is not syncing with Google Contacts.
    Therefore, read the following from my original post again.
    “1. Mavericks will NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts and vice-versa.

  • I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account.  How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

    I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account.  Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace.  How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

  • I forgot my digital signature password. How do I create a new one with the same email.

    I can not remember my digital signature password. I've attempted to create a new one with the same email address. The message I receive is that i already have a digital signature with that email. I would like to use the same email address.

    You probably mean that you forgot your digital certificate password and I presume that this is a self-signed certificate that you yourself created, not a certificate that you received from a Certificate Authority (CA). If this is true then you can create a new self-signed digital certificate (Digital ID in Acrobat-speak) the same way you created the first one: In Acrobat XI it is Edit->Preferences->Signatures->Identities&Trusted Certificates->More. Then click on "Add ID" button and follow the prompts. You can create as many self-signed certificates with the same credentials (name, email, etc.) as you wish. You'd have to figure out how to distinguish them, though.

  • How to set default email address for contact with multiple addresses.

    Apologies if this has been asked before, it seems a very basic question but I'm unable to find an answer.
    Can a default address be set in Address Book for a contact with multiple addresses? Or if not, which address does it send to "automatically" when this condition exists? I know you can manually select the address you want to use, but what if the contact is added to a group?
    Thanks
    Denis

    Thanks for the reply, buy I have no idea what this means.
    I have the same question. I have a contact that has five email addresses. When I add the person to a group, Mail automatically selects one of the addresses, but not the one I want. I need to go back and manually select the correct address. Can't I select one of these addresses as the default to be used all the time?
    Apologies for not quite understanding the first reply.

  • If i cancel an account can I create a new one with the same e-mail address?

    I made an account with Game Center and I wanted to use it to get some free apps on the iTunes Store. When I tried to sign in on iTunes (for Windows) it said I had to review my details. I didn't have a credit card so I couldn't complete it and there wasn't any option for no credit card.
    I wondered if I could cancel my account and create a new one with the same e-mail address. There was a discussion that you could create a new account on the iTunes Store and have the choice to not have a credit card.
    Any help will help!
    SuperHoops

    No, it does not, not if the creation of the Apple ID was completed, which unless you are referring to a different Apple ID I presume it did since you are posting here. And once created, you can't get apps without providing a payment method; setting up for just free apps requires a very specific procedure or a payment method is necessary. Creating an account via Game Center does not work.
    If you can create a new email address (Gmail or Yahoo mail will work), take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

    Hello gerryfromhatfield,
    There is a process, an article about how to find your apple id and get access to it. It is named Apple ID: Finding your Apple ID found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625?viewlocale=en_US
    You start at the top, and work your way down.
    If you can't remember your Apple ID, you can find it by using the password retrieval process at My Apple ID. Follow these steps to recover your Apple ID name:
    Go to My Apple ID and click "Find your Apple ID."
    Complete all the required fields that might be associated with your Apple ID.
    Note: If multiple email addresses have an Apple ID, select your current or most recently used email address.
    All the best,
    Sterling
