Exchange Contacts won't sync to Address Book

I configured Lion 10.7.3 to sync mail, contacts, and calendar with my corporate Exchange 2010 server. Mail and iCal sync fine. But Address Book shows a blank Exchange Contacts list. The Mail app Show Addresses dialog also shows a blank Exchange Contacts list. I have no problems syncing 450+ Exchange Contacts to other devices including iPhone. I tried deselecting and re-selecting Exchange Contacts in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Exchange. Same results, blank Exchange Contacts list.
Console Diagnostic and Usage Messages shows several incidents of this message. This might be normal. I see similar entries for iCal, which sync'd fine.
4/30/12 10:31:02.523 PM Address Book: EWSServerVersion: 14.1.355.2

com.apple.message.result: noop
System.log does show this iCal error. SImilar reports in old forum posts describe problems with iCal handling recurring calendar events. This problem is hopefully unrelated to the blank Exchange Contacts list.

How can I resolve this problem?

I notice exactly the same problem: perfect sync with Mail and iCal; no sync on Addressbook.
However, the problem can be ring-fenced a bit better:
1. sync works fine for "contacts" or "suggested contacts" one introduces in a personal contacts part of the outlook addressbook.
2. What does "apparently" not function, is the sync with the "<corporate> global addresslist": the global addresslist as a category does appear in the apple addressbook, but it's content remains blank.
3. What does work, is to select the "<corporate> address list" in the Apple addressbook, and then do a search on a name. On that moment, the name gets filled in the list of the "<corporate> global addresslist", and clicking on that record provides the detail of the address card.
Conclusion: some sync-ing takes place, but there seems to be something blocking the immediate visualisation of the "<corporate> global addresslist"
Any idea why the list does not appear ?

Outlook won't sync with Address book

Since moving to Lion and using Icloud, my Outlook address book won't sync with Address Book at all. I have sync services selected in Outlook. Calendar won't sync either. Does it just not work anymore?

Hey, I'm Michael and I work for connex.io, an address book app.
Did you try hooking them all up to iCloud? That should do that trick for Address Book and iPhone.
Alternatively, you could try connex.io. You would be able to sync all of your contacts between iPhone, Address Book and Outlook (and more if you want to). It also de-duplicates, cleans, completes and updates your contacts for you. So you jsut connect your services and connex.io takes care of the rest.
If you want to try connex.io, check out: www.connex.io or if you need any more tips: [email protected]
I hope this helped you out.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

After switch from Outlook to Mail, iPhone won't sync with Address Book

Good morning
Using Lion, I recently dropped Outlook 2011 in favor of Mail (did not uninstall though, do not want to).
My problem is this, iTunes and iPhone won't sync with Address Book, they remain stuck on syncing with the Outlook address book. The issue is only for the address book, the iPhone syncs fine with iCal for some reason.
Please help!
Thanks

My phone contacts don't sync with Address Book now that I have "Lion"! PLEASE HELP!

Hello!
I have a Macbook Pro and have recently downloed Lion .... after having done this, my contacts no longer sync with Address Book. My calendar syncs with the iCAL but my contacts don't sync. I don't have iCloud set up and am not sure if that makes a difference, but any help would be GREAT!
Thanks!
Esther

The link provided did not contain a solution for me. However, based on what I read there, I was able to figure out the solution on my own.
Here it is. If you have a Motorola razr. Sorry I don't know which version of the phone or software I have. Go to phonebook. Choose the options by selecting the center menu key. Scroll through the list until you find Share Phonebook Entry. It is not in alphabetical order and may be the last entry. Select it and on the next screen choose bluetooth. The next screen is object exchange. If your computer appears as an option choose it, otherwise chose Look for device and when your computer comes up, select it. The phone will then send a card to your computer. Your computer will ask if you wanted to accept the card. There is also a box that gives you the option to select all. Check select all and then choose accept or hit return if accept is already highlighted in blue. The phone card will be saved to your computer in a default save location. You will next be given an option to see where the card is, in case you don't remember where your default location is. If you choose it, a window will appear showing you where the card is.
Next run isync and your data should be synchronized. Many duplicate entries will be somewhat altered in your computer's address book, i.e. first and last name will be combined and put in the first name box and so will not be recognized as duplicates. This is just part of the idiosyncrasies of the process. Manually go through and delete these.
This worked for me and I hope it is helpful to someone else out there having the same problem.
Thank you for the link Julian and others.

IPhone Won't Sync With Address Book

I am asking this question for a friend who lives abroad. They have an iPhone which has been set up at work to sync with Outlook over the air. He wants to share some of those contacts with his wife who syncs using iTunes. I suggested to him that he syncs via iTunes to Address Book, makes two Groups in Address Book, one each, and drag the desired contacts to each Group then sync the phone again. She can then select the group she wants to use in the Contacts app. However, no matter what he does he cannot get the contacts on his phone to sync with Address Book. I think he may need to make a new account and populate it with contacts from Outlook, could anyone give me advice as to whether this is the right method?
They are using iPhone4's running iOS5 and Lion 10.7.2
Thanks in advance for any help.

It's a limitation of ActiveSync & the way virtually every employer wants it. Fact is, you cannot sync contacts from a work exchange account with a supported contact application on your computer.

Blackberry desktop manager 5.0 won't sync windows address book/mail

Hi,
before I upgrade my laptop to win7 64 bit with DM 5.0, I had Vista 64 bit with DM 5.0 and I was able to sync windows address book.
Now on my win7, I can't select it anymore. I install the same software what I use on vista to win7. I use a blackberry tour, OS 4.7.
Like the picture see here : http://images.crackberry.com/files/u7860/Outlook_Sync_Selection.jpg
you can see that you can select windows address book/mail.
I try on win7, to install the latest DM, but still can't check windows address book/mail. I uninstall it, reinstall DM 5.0, also no luck. I remove intelisync, try again, still no luck.
Any idea how to get the it to sync with windows address book/mail ?
Thanks

Palm contacts do not sync with address book

Contact data from my Palm Tungsten does not sync with Address Book. I am running the latest Palm OS and Desktop with iSync 1.5 and Panther OS 10.3.9. Calendar is syncing correctly. According to the log, iSync thinks that the Address Book is also working but no data gets transferred in either directon. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Power Book Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi,
i also used iSync for a long time with my Tungsten. BUT(!) iSync is very poor! I learned to know MissingSync and this is a really cool App! Now i have categories in my calender after syncing with my Titanium, i have all adresses and there are a lot of more cool features. Look here:

Outlook 2011 won't sync with Address Book iCal, etc.

We recently adopted Outlook for the Mac 2011 (we used Exchange) for our platform because of Exchange compatibility issues with other applications. Despite the clear statement in Outlook Sync Services that it will sync with Address Book and iCal, I cannot get it to sync with either. I've looked around the forums, and deleted plist files, but nothing. My iSync says that I have no devices, but I'm only trying to sync between Exchange and the apps on my MBP (I also have an iPhone but I'm okay with Exchange there). I'm also reading about problems with iCloud and Exchange; is this the problem?
I'm not ordinarily this stupid, but I'm hitting a brick wall here.

You must be on OS X 10.7 in order to use iCloud.
OS X 10.7 (Lion) is available in the App Store as a digital download. It is $29. Best practice - be sure to make a backup copy of your computer before upgrading any software.
After you download and install 10.7 Lion, you will have an iCloud icon in System Preferences.

3G IPod nano won't sync with Address Book and iCal

I connected my new 3G iPod nano (4GB) to USB2.0 port of aluminum keyboard on new 20" aluminum iMac. MP3 song files (total 623) transferred without problem, but whenever I tried to enable syncing of Address Book and iCal under Contacts tab in iTunes 7.4.1 window, error message popped up stated that there are no contacts in Address Book when there are actually 57 contacts already in Address Book. Creating new contacts in Address Book and recreating address book and iTunes library files in user's library folder did not help at all. The syncing of Address Book only work under new user account in Mac OS 10.4.10 (with all Apple updates applied). May I know what have gone wrong with my account ?
I have wasted one hour with call routed to hopeless Apple support center in India. They only want you to keep reseting everything until it work so that they can put the blame on you.

I have had same problem since I got my nano 2 months ago. At least with latest firmware update, when you DO see Contacts they contain their complete Notes! I have tried using iTunes sync to sync my full AddressBook with 900 entries, but this routinely failed to load any more than 600 entries with message saying so. Calendar has been even more problematic until I created a sub-view of my full calendar with just the prior 1 month and future 2 months event entries; then at least I could see the Calendar - but NEVER after immediately a sync, only after i reset the Nano. And finally I have used iPDA (ZappTek) to transfer News, RSS feeds, Weather updates for cities, & selected Documents and these too transfer completely (as inspection of the iPod as Disk shows), but needs a full reset to get them to show. Even then when you first highlight the "Notes" menu option you see it display "No Notes" but then when you click/select it, it starts "Loading them with a counter: sometimes the count is complete, sometimes it "aborts" and then you can only see some of the notes you loaded. I view this as a bug. I believe that the Nano is indexing these entries and either completes it or aborts, for an unknown "bug" reason. The ZappTek developer suggested there is a definite RAM (not storage) limitation in the Nano which prevents the Nano from handling very large sets of entries, but I should think a software update might be able to fix this by not trying to load everything at once.
Hope this helps.

Sync exchange contact to my mac mini address book?

My iphone is currently connected to my exchange mail account, is there anyway that i can import or sync my iphone contacts to my new mac mini address book? I am new at this mac thing, very confusing....:)

Interesting name by the way. Anti-AT&T.
I'm new to the Mac as well but I know how.
Open "contacts" or "calendar" or "mail" then click on the title on the upper left corner, then preferences.
In one of the tab screens it has "sync with MobileMe" then "sync with Exchange".

Not all Exchange contacts are showing up in Address Book

My exchange sync resulted in about 100 missing contacts in address book. Both outlook and iphone display the correct number of contacts...anyone else seeing this and know how to fix?

Oddly enough, my distribution lists are working, although they are invisible and thus uneditable... is this something we can anticipate a fix for any time soon?

My iPhone 4S won't sync with Address Book or iCal on my Mac

My iPhone 4S is full of events on my Calendar and contacts in my Contacts app. They sync nicely with iCloud, so I can access them online.
However, I'd also like to sync them with iCal (4.04) and Address Book on my Mac (10.6.8). Both iCal and Address book only give me the option to sync with MobileMe, which doesn't exist anymore. I can't login to MobileMe on those two applications with my iCloud address either.
iTunes gives me the option to overwrite the data on my iPhone with that on my Mac. I don't want that; I want to overwrite the data on my Mac with that on my iPhone.
Do I need to upgrade to Lion to get these older applications on my Mac to play nice with iCloud?
Any solutions?

You must be on OS X 10.7 in order to use iCloud.
OS X 10.7 (Lion) is available in the App Store as a digital download. It is $29. Best practice - be sure to make a backup copy of your computer before upgrading any software.

TS1868 Corporate Exchange Contacts Won't Sync

I have a corporate OTA MS-Exchange email account that syncs all emails, contacts and calendar events with my iPhone. When I try to sync to my personal PC, 99% of the contacts do not sync. Why?
I recently changed companies. The old company shut off my exchange account access and these same 99% of contacts, most of them personal instead of business, are now no longer viewable on the iPhone. How can I view them again to either manually capture the data or send them to my new exchange sync account?

I notice exactly the same problem: perfect sync with Mail and iCal; no sync on Addressbook.
However, the problem can be ring-fenced a bit better:
1. sync works fine for "contacts" or "suggested contacts" one introduces in a personal contacts part of the outlook addressbook.
2. What does "apparently" not function, is the sync with the "<corporate> global addresslist": the global addresslist as a category does appear in the apple addressbook, but it's content remains blank.

Address Book contacts won't sync with my old iPhone

I recently went into the lake with my iPhone 4 in my pocket. I tried the rice trick, but no luck. Although I do still have my very first iPhone the 1st Gen. I went into the AT&T store to give me a new SIM for it and it started up. When I went home to sync it to my computer, I couldn't restore it from my iPhone 4 because the software was too old on the 1st Gen. It is on 3.1.3 and will not allow me to go any higher. My biggest problem is syncing my contacts from Address Book. It will not allow my in the info tab. It says sync contacts but nothing from my address book is there. Only Yahoo and Google options. How do I get my Address Book on here? Thanks ALL!

I'm not sure this will work on the original iPhone but you can try this:
Open Address Book on your mac, click on any single contact to select it, go to Edit>Select All (Command-A) to select all contacts
Got to File>Export>Export vCard, save this file on your desktop
Send an email to yourself with this file attached
Open the email on your iPhone and tap the attachment to import the contacts
(This will work with newer iPhones; not sure if it will work with the 1st generation iPhone but worth a try.)

How to sync contact list and yahoo contact list and macbook pro address book without mobile me

THANK YOU! I have been using companion link up until you posted this. This makes it so much easier to keep my business contacts on my phone. Much faster too! I use the Exchange Server so I'm hoping by doing this, my contacts will be synced via wireless. I'll let you know if it works. Thanks again for the great post.
