Can Address book view/display personal "shared contacts" from Exchange?

It seems not to, but I'm curious if I'm missing something.
If I add my Exchange account to Address Book, I can search the GAL. That works fine.
But I do not see any "shared contacts" from individual users who (in Outlook on Windows) allow me to see their personal Contacts list.
Is this feature just not there?

I am trying to figure this out too.
Anyone?

Address book not responding to add contact from Mail

I recently switched from a 4 year old MacBook Pro (Tiger) to a new one (Leopard). I migrated my address book by importing my old address book archive. However, now when I try to add contact to address book through Mail (by clicking on the email addresses) it doesn't appear in the address book! It worked before I did the migration.

I appear to have a similar issue. I am trying to add an address from the body of the email. A card is created when I select the toggle that appears over the phone number when the pointer hovers over it. The details are correct. I then select "add to address book", the card disappears but nothing is added to the address book?? The address book was first created in Leopard and I recently upgraded to SL. I am not sure if it worked under Leopard.
Can anyone help?

HT2486 My address book only displays e-mails. How can I sync it with my i-phone to display the address book the same way as my contacts in my i-phone?

Currently my address book only displays e-mail addresses. It uses the portion of the address in front of the @ as the name. How can I sync it with my i-phone 4S that has name/numbers and addresses of my contacts?

Hello there, Seta.
You are correct that this can be done with iCloud. The following Knowledge Base article provides some great instruction for syncing contacts:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
Particularly:
Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes
You can sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes with other applications on your computer. This allows you to keep all your information in sync across multiple computers and iOS devices. The settings for these items are all in the Info tab for your iOS device in iTunes. With your iOS device connected to the computer, select your iOS device. Then click the Info tab.
For details on syncing content on your iOS device with your computer, click the sections below.
Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Contacts" in OS X v10.8, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" in OS X v10.7 and earlier.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
Address Book (Mac OS X v10.7 and earlier)
Contacts (Mac OS X v10.8)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Can you mode Address Book database to a shared location?

I'd like to move my address book DB to a shared location. Dropbox in particular, but it would be the same thing using an iDrive.
The idea being that my Mac & my laptop would both use one shared db so they are always in sync. A change made on one would be the same on the other.
Anyone know if this is possible?
I know you can sync contacts with MobileMe but Dropbox is free and I have no need/want for wasting $99/yr on MobileMe just to sync my contacts. This is more of a "wouldn't it be nice" than a necessity/
Thanks

you can try it but I would advise against it. the results might be unpredictable.
here is what you can try. quit address book on both computers. on the computer with the full address book database move the address book folder /users/username/library/application support/address book to the dropbox folder. leave a symbolic link to the new location in the old place. that's done with the following terminal command assuming you are using the default location for your dropbox.
ln -s ~/Dropbox/AddressBook ~/Library/Application Support
wait for Dropbox to finish syncing so both computers have the new folder in place. that's very important. then on the second computer delete the address book folder /users/username/library/application support/address book and run the above command too. now the AB folder sits in the dropbox and you have sym links pointing to it on both computers. however, I suspect you might have issues if you try to run address book simultaneously on both computers. if you feel brave you can try it out. but back up the address book folder first.

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

How can I put a contact in two or more Address Books without making a 'new contact' for each?

I would like to put several of my contacts in more than one Address Book; but, if I move them (drag'n'drop) from one they no longer remain in the original Book...which I want. I'd like to segregate different interest groups and file them in separate Address Books, but many of my contacts fit in several Address Book identities. Any solution to keep from having to make whole new contact addresses for existing contacts? Thanks for any help you might offer..... NJR

If I want to copy a contactl to another address-book I simly hold down the ctrl-key when I drag and drop

Address Book won't sync with contacts on mobile.me anymore

I have a iMac 5,1 with MacOSX 10.6.4, mobile.me and an iPhone (4.0.2). For many, many years I have had Address Book which quite happily was in sync with the more recently acquired Contacts in Mobile.me. But now, my Address Book isn't syncing with Contacts. And the Contacts on my mobile phone syncs with the Contacts in mobile.me rather than with Address Book. I've tried all sorts of combinations of syncing to no avail. Can anyone please tell me how to ensure that Address Book syncs with Contacts in mobile.me and I would want Address Book to overwrite Contacts. The huge ongoing number of duplicates is another problem but there are many threads I can see that will help me solve that problem.
Thanks

I am having this problem, too. Gmail is my mothership, all the contacts and groups are hosted there, I just want to pull it down to my iMac and my MacBook.
The process seems to work fine on the iMac, but I sync an iPod to that Mac almost every day. I do not sync a device to the MacBook, and it does not get Address Book updates. I feel strongly that the mobile device plays a role in the sync. I will try to sync an iPod to the MacBook, and see what happens. This is a valid test, but I am not willing to erase my iPod every other day just to keep my Address Book up to date on my laptop. This should work better.
I wish there was a tool for contacts like Calaboration. Calaboration makes my iCal sync both ways to Google, and works breath-takingly well.

Slow access to address book functions due to shared address books

We have recently migrated from GW v8.0.3 on NetWare 6.5 to GW 2012.2 on
SLES 11.3. Single PO system, with only 65 users.
We have been experiencing 10 second hangs/delays the first time any GW
address book functions are accessed. Some users are on the GW 2012.0.2
client, others are still on the GW 8.0.3 client, all experiencing the 10
second delay issue. We did not experience this before the migration to
GW 2012.
Testing indicates that the issue is due to shared address books.
The 10 second delay always occurs the *first* time we access an address
book function after starting the GroupWise client. For example, once
the GroupWise client is newly started, if I open the address book, it
takes 10 seconds to open. If I then create a new mail or appointment,
while adding recipients to an e-mail, selecting a new addressbook from
the address selector drop-down menu takes almost 10 seconds for the
drop-down menu to respond to first being clicked on.
Once I've accessed an address book function, though, accessing that
function is much quicker on successive uses. But it does take doing
each of those things once (suffering through the 10 hang) before they
speed up. If a user makes the mistake of closing GroupWise, I'm back to
square one with the first use of each of those address book functions
being slow again.
*BUT*, if I delete all address books that have been shared with me,
there is no 10 second delay, even after restarting the GroupWise client.
No slow access to any address book feature on first use.
Unfortunately, we use shared address books very heavily, so deleting
them for all of my users is not a solution.
Besides running PO/user maintenance, I've looked at possible
communications or DNS issues with no luck.
Any ideas what's going on or how to fix it?
Thanks,
-Greg

We have been dealing with this same if not similar sounding issue, opened a SR, and engineering is looking into it. For us it also impacts message compose ( address completeion ) as well as opening mail. We have yet to identify a workaround. What we see is "roughly" a 3 second delay per shared address book, occuring intermittently after a period of the client being idle. We also see on the POA that periodically the client will login to these shared accounts, but instead of those logins happening quickly ( sub 1 second for all of them combined ).
This is not a constant problem for all users with the 2012 client, and seems to run in fits for a given user. We see it, perhaps 1 -3 times a day for a given user.
If you enable Verbose logging on the POA ( via the HTTP console ) and look for the IP address of the workstation with the problems, you should see a pattern of logins as follows:
Code:
1204poa.028:18:41:32 F059 C/S Login Windows ::GW Id=Kxxxxr :: 192.168.1.110
1204poa.028:18:41:35 F059 C/S Login Windows ::GW Id=Sxxxxk :: 192.168.1.110
1204poa.028:18:41:38 F059 C/S Login Windows ::GW Id=Exxxxr :: 192.168.1.110
1204poa.028:18:41:41 F061 C/S Login Windows ::GW Id=Sxxxxk :: 192.168.1.110
1204poa.028:18:41:44 F051 C/S Login Windows ::GW Id=Kxxxxr :: 192.168.1.110
1204poa.028:18:41:47 F061 C/S Login Windows ::GW Id=Dxxxxr :: 192.168.1.110
1204poa.028:18:41:50 F061 C/S Login Windows ::GW Id=Kxxxxr :: 192.168.1.110
( Using something like grep -i "GW Id" 1204poa.??? | grep -i "Login Windows" | grep x.x.x.x <== IP of the workstation when in /var/log/no*/gr*/POA_Log_Folder )
Note the 3 second delay between each of the shared account logins. This typifies the problem we are seeing. Under normal circumstances you would see these all happening with the same time stamp. Perhaps you can confirm this is the same looking issue.
I'll keep you apprised of our progress.

Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone? no MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone.

Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone? No MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone. I have checked all the settings and all seems correct. It simply won't pull in all of the contacts. Last time, it added some new ones, but deleted others.

I found the route of the problem! All the songs under 'On This Phone' are completely grayed out! The only question is now how do I ungray them???

How can address book and local folders stored on JunoInternet program be imported into Thunderbird?

Have been using Juno for email for years. Juno Internet program on my PC locally stores address book and saved emails in local folders. Want to switch to Thunderbird for emails. Can address book and local folders stored via Juno program be copied to Thunderbird? If so, how, plz.

If you are installing TB on the same computer as the Juno mail, the installation / start-up process offers the choice to import from another mail program.

Address Book changing fields on duplicate contacts ?

My Address Book is duplicating contacts, BUT mixing the fields.
Original contac: last-name = "Rosales A", first-name = "Eduardo". No middle-name used.
I get a second contact with: last-name = "A", first-name = "Eduardo". No middle-name apears.
Then yet another with: last-name = "A", middle-name = "Eduardo" and first-name = "Rosales".
Forget about physical addresses that will by magic put a "country" when there was none defined.
Forget also that it (Address Book) is adding pictures to contacts, I don't want to, some correct (when asked to some friends) but some incorrect (a friends photo on a Company contact with no relation).
I'm aware of using iCloud and "on My Mac", will duplicate info, this is already taken care of.
It all started when I was using and syncing ONE MacBook and ONE iPhone. By magic, I did not change anything.
Now I'm using iCloud, Lion on the MacBook, iOS 5.0 on the iPhone-4 and the iPad-2.
Now, if I delete one instance of a contact, say on the iPhone, it will disapeare on the MacBook.
BUT tomorrow, during a "sync over the air", again the "A" last-name will show up.
Best regards,
Eduardo Rosales.

If you are going to reactivate synchronization, then do this first:
• launch iSync
• open the Preferences… dialog
• press the Reset Sync History… button
This will leave your sync clients registered and your data intact, but remove any indication that you have ever synchronized before, clearing the truth database and triggering an initial slow synchronization once you re-enable to process and initiate your next event.

How do I setup useful shared contacts with Exchange OWA Outlook 2013

Hi There,
I have a non profit I'm helping out. They have Exchange 2013 Sp1 & outlook 2013 .
How can I setup shared contacts for Outlook and OWA users?
I have been struggling to setup a useful shared contacts folder. No Matter what way I do it there seems to be major shortcomings.
They have 1 "Shared" mailbox account [email protected] and many user accounts [email protected]
I first imported the contacts from csv into a contacts folder in the info@ account, which works great for the Info@ user. When I share the folder with other users they can see it listed in "People" in full Outlook, but if they're addressing a message
they can't see the contacts when they hit the TO button. If I look at the properties of the Info@ Contacts folder in the folder list of the User, the Outlook Address Book tab is missing. Also can't find any way in OWA for User@ to open the shared contact folder.
I also tried using Public folders to share the contacts but found problems there too. Using Full desktop Outlook, users can share contacts, add to their Outlook address book etc. Great, but... there's no way to access Public Folder Contact folders in OWA.
They're a fully volunteer organization so many people are using OWA from home, they're not IT people so it needs to be easy.
Is there something I'm missing, when I started out on the task I thought it would be simple. Its hard to believe after all this time MS hasn't addressed these major shared contact shortcomings.
Thanks for any help!

I decided to go with a mixed solution.
Not every member has a society email account, only the executive and key volunteers have society exchange email accounts.
I imported the society member list into the the GAL, this allows any society mail users to email other members easily
I then imported the larger marketing list into the shared mail account which is restricted to a few users. They can be shared from there to other users, but they can only access those shared contact from Outlook (not OWA)
It's not ideal as OWA users cannot access the contacts from the Shared Mailbox but they can at least find other members addresses easily.
It looks like I could also setup a new GAL and share it with only some users, haven't dug too deeply into this yet.
Thanks for your help Ed
