Display server based address-book birthday entries in iCal

Hello
Does anybody has a solution for the following situation to solve:
iCal on the user machine is only able to display birthday entries out of the local address-book not out of a address-book stored on a server (Mac OS-X).
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks for attention and respond
Thomas

Hi, I would need that, too.
It's working on the iPhone, but not on MacOS with iCal... anyone from apple could help, please?
Thanks!

Calendar server and address book server login fails with outlook connector

Hi all,
I have installed Java Communication Suite 5 according to the doc http://blogs.sun.com/factotum/resource/comms5-install-linux.html.
When i deploy the connector i get the pop ups saying "Server:servername:3080
Error:service not available" also
"Server:servername:80/uwc"
Error:service not available"
asking to login to calendar server and address book server.Clicking "OK" allows install.
In outlook i can send and receive mails but not the meeting requests.It gives the error "login to calendar server" when i create a meeting request.
Please let me know what i have to do to get rid of the error.The username and passwd entered is correct.

Hi,
When i deploy the connector i get the pop ups saying
"Server:servername:3080
Error:service not available" also Do you get exactly what you say above, or have you substituted in the real server name for "Server:servername:" above?
I would check through the outlook connector deployment configuration to verify that you have inserted valid information into all of the host & port fields - perhaps check the .ini file that is created to see if it has "Server" and "servername" listed.
"Server:servername:80/uwc"
Error:service not available"You are able to log into UWC via the web-interface and access your calendar/pab and edit/modify/delete calendar & addressbook entries right? The services are all up?

server.Clicking "OK" allows install.The outlook connector deployment software gives you the option to increase the logging level, try that and see what the logs say - what was it trying to connect to/check which failed.
In outlook i can send and receive mails but not the
meeting requests.It gives the error "login to
calendar server" when i create a meeting request.
Please let me know what i have to do to get rid of

Unable to retrieve e-mail addresses that are in the server's address book

Since I installed the new version of Firefox (4.0) I am unable to retrieve any of the e-mail addresses that are duly indicated in the server's address book.
In summary, beforehand I could type the 1st letter of an e-mail address and Firefox would remember it and propose it upfront!
What can I do to solve this issue please!?

Hi gbman, sorry I missed your reply, I took someone out to a birthday dinner.
A good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site,
Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
After clearing the cookies, reload the page and try logging in again. Does that help?

I would like to change the display way of address book.

Hello~
I purchased Blackberry Q10 and have a question.
I would like to change the display way of address book.
Now BB Q10's address book show contact's name by "First Name -> Last Name" (Tarou<First Name> Yamada<Last Name>
But I prefer "Last Name->First Name" ( Yamada Tarou)
Because My native language is Japanese...
When I using Black Berry Bold 9900, I could change this setting by below way...
Options -> Typing and Language -> Language -> Global Name Display (Change to "Last,First")
But I can't find this option in my Black Berry Q10.
Could you let me know how to change this setting?

Hello yshr_825 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for your question on sorting contacts by name.
Launch Contacts and swipe down from the top of the Bezel and select Settings. In the tab Sort Contacts By tap on it and select Last Name.
This should now update your contact list to sort them by surname.
Let us know if this helps.

Display age in iCal using Address Book birthday

Is there a hidden feature in iCal (or Address Book), or a plug-in available, that will let me display a person's age in iCal alongside their birthday using the date from Address Book?

Hi Jenny,
Dates To iCal 2 does this. It works under Leopard, but not Tiger.
Dates to iCal 2 - A replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal in Leopard.
http://www.nhoj.co.uk/datestoical/
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.
Dates to iCal is shareware.
Best wishes

One of my address book birthdays wont show up in iCal

Every birthday I've inputed into my address book appears on my birthdays calendar in iCal, except my father's. A few days ago, I noticed that my father's birthday was listed on the wrong day in iCal, so I opened my address book to check it out, but it was correct in the address book. I tried changing the birth year, and that caused my father's birthday entry to disappear entirely from iCal.
Does anybody have any advice on getting it to work properly?
Edit: I've just tried playing around with the date in the address book, When I change the year to 0001, his birthday shows up in iCal on 8/22, though it's inputed in address book on 8/24. This two-day discrepancy is the same no matter what day of the month I input (ex. 8/26/0001 in address book shows up as 8/24 in iCal)
Message was edited by: Bill Buchanan

I'm having this exact same problem, but it's doing it with a bunch of birthdays. I also did 0001 when I didn't know the birth year, so I went back and did a more current year, but they still aren't showing up where they should be...or at all. It's completely bizarre.

Need help setting up LDAP server for Address Book

I've set up Panther servers before for AFP which is pretty simple but now the office I work at wants me to setup an LDAP server so they can share the same contact information, probably about 2,000+ entries. I'm guessing that this will have to be entered in the LDAP server entry by entry.
I need to know how to setup the server and what settings need to be on the clients' computers, such as in Address Book.
The server is an older G4 tower and I've got 8 computers hooked up to it on a simple network. I don't think I'll need to make the LDAP server accessible from outside the network but it's something I'll have to worry about for the future.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Address Book Birthday Dates

In Address Book I find it hard to maintain accurate Birthday Dates. They are either out by one day (I live in NZ and am ahead of most of the world by a day) or the days are widly off. Any thoughts as to why it seems to have a mind of it's own? Mark.Adrr

I have the same issue on my iPhone 4S ( iOS 5.0.1 ). I live in Germany.
My Mac runs Snow Leopard, no iCloud involved.
Some birthdays are off by one day prior to the real birthday-date !?
This applies to dates in the past and future.
On my Mac the birthdays are displayed correct in calendar !?

Address Book - Birthday Field question

I was trying to make an entry on the birthday field in one of my contacts. The field does not give me an option to change the year of birth. It defaults to 2000.
The other question is how can we set up alerts, so that we can maybe send out a card in advance? Thanks!
Is there a way to fix this?
imac user

With the Address card in Edit mode you should be able to click the year field and after it highlights blue, change it to the year you need.
According to Address book Help, in the Address Book Help Menu;
You can keep track of contacts’ birthdays by creating a birthday calendar that automatically includes all the birthdays in your address book.
1. In Address Book, make sure you’ve entered the birthdate for each contact whose birthday you want to track.
2. In iCal, choose iCal > Preferences.
3. In the General pane, select the “Show Birthdays calendar” checkbox.
Birthdays in your address book are automatically added to the Birthdays calendar in iCal. When you add or remove birthday information in Address Book, the Birthdays calendar is also updated. You can’t make changes to the Birthdays calendar in iCal; to change it, you must edit the information in Address Book.
You can check in iCal Help for info on setting alerts.

Setting up Snow Leopard Server with Address Book, iCal for Small Business

Hello Folks,
I have a small business with 2-3 people and I want to setup Snow Leopard Server on a Mac Mini. I have everything in place, RAID, Backup drive etc.
What I need is a guide on how to setup the server correctly and how to setup Address Book Server, iCal Server, DNS, etc. I was in IT a long while back but have gone back to my creative roots and sworn off IT but I am in a situation where my IT guy's wife is pregnant so he is busy painting the baby's room, etc.
I was looking at Snow Leopard Server for Dummies and a few other books. Do you guys have any suggestions on resources for me to read or research that would give me very straightforward steps in getting this setup. I am at a point where I can re-install from scratch if needed.
For the ease of those that might respond let's assume I know my way around Mac and general networking as a whole.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers,
Jason

Hi Guys,
First of, I will give you a brief background on me regarding networking as a mac user since 1994. I can setup and network multiple macs without a server in our home and small office. Turning file, print and internet sharing with a regular Mac OS X client version at no problem at all. This would be my first time setting up a Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server.
I'm in the same boat as Jakekub but we do not have a static IP from our DSL provider. We just bought a Mac Mini Server for our small office with 3 iMacs and 1 MacBook. We will just use the server for internal usage and to centralized things out and use some of server's features like Address Book, Mail, iCal etc. I've search the forums and found Orhidy's post here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2148553
I even followed the sample IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS Server and I think I had it correctly setup initially. And I think I got it all running on the basic setup base on his instructions. So I tried to test my DNS settings via Terminal > hostname then got answer as
servername.companyname.private
And double checking DNS again with a command: sudo changeip - checkhostname and was given an answer of:
Primary address = 192.168.1.192
Current Hostname = servername.companyname.private
DNS Hostname = servername.companyname.private
The names match. There is nothing to change
dirserv:success = "success"
But here's another one that bugs me. I tried to follow from "Mac OS X Snow Leopard for Dummies" the command line:
NSLOOKUP hostname
and got an answer of:
;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 192.168.1.192, trying next server
Server: 192.168.1.1
Address: 192.168.1.1#53
** server can't find hostname: NXDOMAIN
So does it mean that I still haven't configured my server properly?
Thank you all for the help in advance!

Address book multiple entries

What can I do about triplicate entries in my address book on the macbook? I don't have this problem with mh other devices.

Why not using nick names ? The only downside is gw7 and earlier
nicknames don't show up in the address book. GW8 does show the
nicknames in the address book.

Increasing size of the display view of address book

Can the display of address book be increased in size? Or can the display of the fonts be increased in size? It is hard for me to see.

Andrea,
It seems to me that there is no way to do this across the board. Seems like there should be, however.
There is a way to temporarily increase the size of a phone number so you can see it more easily when dialing. In the listings for the contact you are interested in, click on the label (mobile, home, etc) to the left of the phone number and then choose large type. This will display the phone number in VERY LARGE type. To revert to normal, just click on the big number.
This is certainly not a solution to your problem. I'm surprised that there is no apparent font adjustment in Address Book.
Regards,
Steve M.

Address Book Duplicate Entries

When I opened my idisk address book, all my entries are duplicated - 200 each in their twice. Is there an easy way to remove these duplicate entries. When I look at my address book on my laptop, their are no duplicates.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
This is actually a . Mac Sync issue, for which there is a forum located here.
To correct the problem, you should temporarily disable .Mac synchronization by changing your interval to Manually, then open the System Preferences application, press the .Mac pane, then the Advanced tab. Wait for the list of devices to refresh, then press the Reset Sync Data… button in the lower left corner.
From the Replace: menu, choose Contacts. Press the right-facing arrow so that the direction of data flow indicates your computer as the source, and .Mac as the destination. The orange animated arrow will be shown moving from left to right, and the phrase above will change to read "On .Mac with Sync info from this computer."
Press the Replace button to entirely replace the existing 200 records, 100 of which are duplicates, with a set of just the 100 basic records stored in the Address Book on your computer.

Address Book's entries have disappeared - all except two

Hello everyone.
I'm hoping that members might be able to offer me some advice about a problem I'm having with Address Book.
I use an intel iMac running OS 10.4.11 and Address Book 4.0.6. This morning I used iSync to synchronise my Palm TX with the iMac and found that all the entries in the Palm's Contacts had disappeared (except for 2 — Apple Computers and my own entry). When I loaded Address Book I found the same situation, all the records were gone except for my own and Apple's. The last time I used Address Book, with no problems, was yesterday at about 2.00pm.
I've been wandering round the web since then finding a number of variations of my problem and I've tried the solutions suggested, with no luck. I've renamed AddressBook.data.previous as AddressBook.data and I've copied the whole Application Support folder for Address Book from my backup (I clone the iMac onto an external hard drive) to the iMac's hard drive, both without success. I still have the files ABPerson.skindexinverted (220K) and ABSubscribedPerson.skindexinverted (8K), but the data file itself is only 8K.
One of the discussions I found mentioned records in a MetaData folder for Address Book, so I went to Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/MetaData on the iMac's disk and found 2 files, presumably the two records which are still left in Address Book. Their names begin with a long alphanumeric sequence and continue /ABPerson.abcdp. The same folder on the backup hard disk contains 535 such files. Is it possible that these are the lost records?
All help gratefully received!
Susan

Hi
Sorry about the delay in replying to your last message, but I've had a print deadline to meet, which always puts everything else on hold.
I've opened a few of the .abcdp files with Text Edit and the information is in there, buried among loads of code, so many thanks for telling me that. I've beamed the address book from my other half's Palm (which used to be mine) over to mine, so I should have most of the current contacts which I hope I can transfer onto the iMac. The missing ones, distant members of my family for instance, I will have to search for in the .abcdp files and enter manually into AB (always remembering to take a backup regularly!).
Unfortunately I don't know anyone with a Mac running Leopard, in fact I only know one other person with a Mac. We freed ourselves from the thralldom of the PC only three years ago and are still the odd ones out with colleagues and friends. Having the Macs has made using a computer enjoyable for the first time in 25 years, ever since we bought a Commodore 700 and I began the daily struggle with various pieces of user-hostile software.
Many thanks for helping me out. I've put Snow Leopard at the top of my shopping list by the way.
Regards
Susan
