Exchange 08 Lost contacts after activated user on new machine?

Motherboard (Windows XP Pro/Outlook07) of a user died and we moved that user on to a new machine (windows 7Pro/Outlook13)
The users emails and personal folders all populated but for some reason the contacts didn't populate. The only contacts that seem to come over were the ones from the users iPhone. Seems like somehow the contacts got hijacked by the iphone. I know if you
install the icloud plugin for outlook that is common but this user doesn't have admin rights to perform software installations.
I still have the old hard drive if they were somehow stored locally.

Hi,
From your description, after moved a user to another PC machine, part of Outlook clients are lost. Only contacts added by mobile device remains. If I misunderstood, please point it out.
What’s the version of your Exchange organization?
Have you checked contact in OWA and see if all contacts are there?
If the user moved or archived Contacts item to one or more .pst files, please reconnect them to new installation of Outlook.
Personal Folders files are stored in the following locations:
Microsoft Windows XP drive:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Old address still showing in contact after I edit with new address. However, it shows correct address when in edit mode. Is this a new glitch on the iPhone iOS 7?

1) Is it a video clip? Something you recognize? To be clear, it's displaying at a point in your exported movie but doesn't appear at all in the sequence?
2) What are your sequence settings? Right-click your sequence and choose "Item Properties" to verify.

Lost contacts after ios5 update

I have lost all of my contacts after the ios5 update. for instance if i dail the number there name will pop up but when i go to contacts there is nothing there! please help!

You need to turn off synching through the iCloud and synch through iTunes to your Outlook of Address Book however this will still leave you with linked/duplicate contact cards in your phone and your favorites contacts in the phone as well as all caller id photos etc. will be linked to the old contacts. In order to get rid of those contacts what I did was added the simple change to the contacts I synched from the computer (I added an exclamation point to the notes sections). Then synch to your iPhone through iTunes not through the iCloud, then search your iPhone for the first contact name you have in your list. You will see this will bring up 2 contacts for the same person. Select either contact then hit the back button. You will then be in the contact list but you will see in this work around there will be 2 contacts listed for everyone. Select the contact card and then delete it that does not have the added change so you can tell what is new and old. This will leave you with the new contact cards and remove the corrupted/lost contacts. You will lastly need to turn on the iCloud synch and either leave or remove those changes you made (like my exclamation points) from your new contacts. This is a pain in the tail but the only way I was able to completely fix the issue.
Good luck!

ORA-03135: connection lost contact - all apart from one working machine!

Two servers, both with Oracle 32bit client 10.2.0.3, both with identical sqlnetora, both connecting to same oracle DB using same credentials.
issue identical SQL from sqlnet client on both machines - one succedes after 60mins with the resultset returned - one errors after around 45mins with ORA-03135: connection lost contact.
I actually have a dozen of so other boxes that generate the same error and just one where in runs perfectly every time.
All are in same data center on similar phisical hardware with same windows OS. Only difference I can see is a folder with instaclient 11 on the machines where it fails.
Any idea's what this could be?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Jez

Were all of the Firefox files copied to the new system?
Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press enter.
Under the page logo on the left side you will see '''Application Basics.'''
Under this find '''Profile Folder.''' To it’s right press the button
'''Show Folder.''' This will open your file browser to the current
Firefox profile. Now '''Close Firefox.'''
Enter the '''bookmarkbackups''' folder. This is where Firefox makes backups
of your bookmarks. Look for the '''jsonlz4''' file you want to restore
(check the time / date / size). Right click on that file and select '''Copy.'''
Now go back to the profile folder where you started. Rename the file
'''places.sqlite''' by adding '''.old''' to it. Now right click in the folder
and select '''Paste.''' The file you just pasted here, rename it to
'''places.sqlite.''' After you are done, restart Firefox.

ICal lost events after upgrading to the New Mobileme Calendar

After updating to the New MobileMe Calendar on my home computer, the iCal at work stopped syncing, i.e. none of the events show up.
I tried quitting iCal, stopped syncing, and synced again to replace data on work computer, but didn't work.
MobileMe calendar has all the data intact. iCal at home seems to load all the events fine. (10.6.6 on iMac, both at home and work.)
Please provide advice. Thanks!

Problem re-activating CS3 on new machine

I want to install CS3 on my new machine. Have de-activated it on old machine.
Have installed CS3 on new machine with no probs. it works just fine.
It asks me to activate software which I expected and went through procedure.
It would not activate online but directed me to phone activation.
I followed procedure and entered the serial # and the Activation #
After approx 30 seconds told could not activate the software and redirected to agent
who redirected me to adobe.com/go/activation.
Tried direct chat with adobe service agent who suddenly told me to go to this forum.
I am using OSX 10.8.3
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Peter

Hi
The problem is that the phone # has only 2 options. The 1st is where you
key in the s/n and activation # when this fails you are directed to 2nd
option where you get recorded message. This tells you that activation
problems are no longer dealt with on phone and you are directed back to
website. I am going to try and find dome other phone numbers for Adobe in
UK.

Lost Contacts after Upgrade and Mobile Me

After installing the latest iPhone software 2.2 and setting up to do mobile me I lost all of my contacts and phone numbers. Can I do a restore and get all of my contact information back? My contacts were not already on my macbook pro as it is new and I am setting it up as well. NEED HELP!

When turning on over the air syncing for contact info and calendar events with a MobileMe account on an iPhone, there is a warning message provided that indicates all contact info and calendar events on your iPhone will be erased and replaced with your MobileMe online address book and calendar.
You need to sync the Address Book and iCal on your Mac with your MobileMe online address book and calendar first.
The same applies when turning on over the air syncing for contact info and calendar events with an Exchange account.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup for your iPhone which includes contact info. The backup is updated if needed as the first step during the sync process.
Which computer were you syncing your iPhone's contact info with before turning on over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone?
You should be able to sync the supported address book on that computer with your MM online address book, which will be followed by transferring your MM online address book to your iPhone's address book.

Exchange 2013 mail contact in Active Directory missing SMTP email address but has a primary email address

Outlook 2010 Distribution Group contact member "Al" is not showing an email address. In Active Directory "Al" is showing an email address but it's not a SMTP email address that is created when you add a new Mail contact using EAC.
When the DG owner sends out an email using DG email account, the mail bounces back as undeliverable.
Exchange Admin Center is not showing the member. The only way to fix the member is by deleting the contact. Re-add contact in EAC then add to Distribution Group. We have over 30 DGs that are missing the SMTP email addresses.
Can a Powershell command fix this issue or is there a sync issue between AD and Exchange?

Hi,
From your description, the contact you specified should be contact not mail contact. Contact and mail contact are two different things. If you create a contact in ADUC, you need to mail-enable it and then set the primary SMTP address for it.
For more information, here is an article for your reference.

Just lost everything after activation completed

After the 2.0 was finally! activated on my phone, all my info, messages, contacts is gone... Any suggestions?

I tried restoring and it only brought back pictures and music. No text messages or old notes. In addition when you select to restore it asks you if you want to back up the info from the current phone. I am assuming the answer is no, since currently my phone has no info. If you select that option, the restore function does not work. However, I do have a info backed up in itunes under options. Anyway I can retrieve that info?

How can i retrieve my lost contacts after upgrading to iOS 5.1.1

I just upgraded to to the iOS 5.1.1 and a few hours later all my contacts disappeared. I tried to restore through iTunes but that did not work. - UPDATE as I am writing this. I got through to Apple Customer Service and because I had selected the option to backup to my computer (iMac 10.5.8) it was actually saving all my contacts to my "address book" app. Since I never used that application I didn't even think to look there. I just re-synced my contacts selecting "all contacts" and I was back in business.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, but I'll try to answer! You can either connect to iTunes and set up and activate there, or you can also use the setup assistant to set up your iPhone. As far as carrier activation, you'll have to follow the protocol that your carrier uses. Either switch SIM card, or call the number they use to allow device activation. Is that what you were wanting to know?

How do i find lost contacts after i installed ios5 through my macbook pro?

I upgraded my iphone by syncing through my MacBook Pro. When it finished all the messages and original contacts as well as games and software were deleted. It even took away my wallpaper which was a picture of my grandson. I am really upset!

Did you perform the update on the computer you normally sync to? Did you get any errors during the process? Did you wait for the restore to complete after updating? Were your apps in the iTunes library BEFORE you started the update? Were you syncing your contacts to a compatible address book or cloud service?
We need more information to even begin to guess what happened.

Lost contacts after update to 4.3.2

I updated my iPhone4 software to version 4.3.2 and now I have lost all of my contacts. How do I get them back? I have already tried right-clicking on my iPhone from within iTunes and selecting Restore From Backup... and that did not work. I have read that other people are having the same problem. What is up with the update 4.3.2?

Robert..I too am having the same problem since updating my iphone 4 software to v 4.3.2.
I am running a 2007 E Class with HPF v1 bluetooth module. Phone paired OK but contacts messed up.
Contacted Apple and they said it was a Mercedes problem.
Contacted my local Mercedes dealership and they said it was a known Apple softare update problem. They suggested I update my HPF module to the latest v2 which I did but it has made no difference to the messed up contacts list.
Booked an appointment with an Apple 'Genius' but he said he had not heard of the problem. Iasked if the software update could be reversed but was told no. The 'Genius' did offer to change my phone for one with the old software v 4.2 but unfortunaetly all the phones they had in stock had the newer version.
I am returning my iPhone 4 back to Vodafone as it is no good if I can't use it in the car to keep in touch with clients.
Back to good old Nokia for me.
