Global Address Book doesn't work while creating meeting invitation

I have realized I can't search in the server's addressbook when I tried to send out an invitation to participants I don't have saved in my BB Partners.
That would be however very useful tool. Mail Server is Exchange 2010...

Hey dsimon
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Open the Calendar application and add a new appointment. Make sure your calendar at the top is listed for the Enterprise account and not Home (Local Calendar).
Scroll down where it says Participants and click on where it says Invite (not the +) and start typing a name. An option will pop below saying look up.... Click on Look up and it will search the GAL.
Let me know if you're still having trouble.
Cheers.

Address book doesn't work

I recently discovered that my Address Book doesn't work at all. I upgraded to Lion and everything was working fine. I imported old Vcards. Updated thing s and it was all running smoothly until a couple of weeks ago. No new updates , nothing. It just quit working.
No importing, no contacts, nothing. I have tried deleting the preferences. I have tried reinstalling. I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. I had it synced with Google. I didn't have it synced with Google. I had it synced with icloud. I didn't have it synced with icloud. I have tried every combination I can think of and now I am at the end of my rope.
Is anyone else having this problem? I noticed on the web that a lot of people are having trouble with this, but haven't been able to fix it and Apple has been of no help. Does anyone have any ideas? My default is just to move everything to google and stop using mac products altoghether.
Thanks
Michael

Hey Barney,
What I meant by, "It just quit working", is that after I upgraded to Lion I had to switch from Entourage to Mac mail products, unless i wanted to shell out a few hundred dollars to Microsoft. Since I purchased iWork I was trying to avoid that and starting to use more Apple products.
I transferred all of my contacts into Address book and then exported everything to v-cards as a backup. For weeks everything was fine. I created new contacts. Imported some contacts from another computer. I even transferred some contacts from a Blackberry out to v-cards and imported them. Everything was going along just fine. I could add, edit, see everything.
Then, about a week ago, my wife asked for some info that I know I directly input into her address book (we share a computer, but she is her own user). I went over to her side, opened up her Address book and nothing was there. No contacts. I couldn't import anything. I couldn't add a new contact. Nothing. The program just didn't work. I went to my side to see what was up. Same thing.
I have now spent the last week trying to figure out how to fix it. I first got rid of the preferences (moved them to another folder and restarted the program). Nothing. I deleted the .abcddb file and restarted. Nothing. I even tried to reinstall from my original Leaopard disk, but could not access the Address book from the install disk by itself.
I've searched the internet for answers. Nothing. It's the oddest thing. All of my "contacts" as far as email goes work. I type and they come up, but if I open the Address book all I see are blank pages and the program itself seems to not be able to do anything. Can't import, there's nothing to export, can't add a contact or edit.
Ever since the upgrade to Lion I've had nothing but trouble with my computer at every turn. I probably just should have paid for the upgrades to all my Microsoft products and left the Apple ones alone.
Thanks for listening. if you think of anything or hear of anythong let me know.

My Address book doesn't work!

Dear Community, it's my first time I write here and I'm italian, so I don't speak English very well... I'm sorry if in this post there are some error...
The problem is simple:
My address book doesn't work. If I click on its icon on dock, it "jump" for 2 times and stop... a message inform that it doesn't work.
Anyway I can access to my contact with dashboard and Spotlight.
Please help me.
Thanks.

Log back in to your regular user account. Quit Address Book. Go you /Users/you/Library/Preferences and find these two files:
com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
com.apple.AddressBook.plist
Move them out to the Desktop. Does Address Book launch now?

Lightroom 5.2 eMail address book doesn't work

Being sorry really doesn't help. I'm running Windows 64bit and the address book function for eMail doesn't work. I installed 5.3 beta - no help!
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Well, SVHudson, what did you expect to get from your first post? There was no information at all, not even a question. We are not mind readers here.
Why didn't you start with the information you are providing now, which, even though it is still not complete, at least gives a hint of what your problem is?

Mail and Address Book doesn't work together!!!

Since I converted addresses from Filemaker 7 to Address Book, the automatic fill in, in Mail doesn't work anymore.
The option: "fill in address automaticly" is active in the preference menu in Mail.
The problem feels not consequent, this means; some of the addresses are shown up in mail, others don't. I cannot find out where to search for the problem.
Who knows which file I can delete or any other solutions?????

You can check by dragging ~(YourHome)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist to the desktop. Then relaunch AddressBook.
You could do the same with "com.apple.Mail.plist" but it contains all email account settings and general mail preferences, so you will have to set up your account info again.
Also you might try deleting ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook.

Find in Address book doesn't work - always says 5 matches, never shows any

The contacts in my 10.6.2 install were migrated over from a 10.4.11 install on a PPC Mini. If I open Address Book and enter anything (real or nonsense) into the search bar, the number at the bottom of the window changes from "X cards" to "5 of X cards". It doesn't matter what the search term is, it always "finds" 5 matches, but the card shown doesn't change (and is not a match for the search term) and the list of cards doesn't reduce. On Tiger, as each character is entered, the list of cards diminishes to only contain valid matches.
How can this be happening? Has anybody else encountered this "quirk", and if so, what's the solution?
Roll on 10.6.3...

Quit Address Book and go into your Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete AddressBook-v22.abcddb. Open Address Book and it should recreate the index. See if that makes a difference.

Dragging invitee to iCal from address book doesn't work

In Snow Leopard I would drag invitees to an event from Address Book and it would begin checking their availability. Now when I drag an invitee, the red bubble with the number of contacts I'm dragging over appears, but the invitees don't actually make it over.

Address Book Doesn't Work in Snow Leopard

I recently downloaded Snow Leopard, and now my Address Book won't open. I'll click on the icon and this message pops up: "You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X. You have Address Book 4.1.2." I can still access all my contacts via Mail, but I cannot add or delete contacts. What should I do?

I'm not sure what you mean by you "downloaded Snow Leopard" as it cannot be downloaded. I'm guessing you mean that you installed it, or you downloaded and installed an update for it.
If you moved the original application out of the Applications folder, it will not get updated when you run the upgrade/install. Make sure it is in the Address Book. A couple things to try:
1) Try installing 10.6 again.
2) Download the 10.6.3 combo updater and install it--Make sure Address Book is still in the Applications folder when you install it.

My copied address book doesn't work on new computer

I transferred my address books to my new computer, but when I try to send a message it says the addresses are not valid. Both computers are Thunderbird and W8.1. I am receiving emails and can respond to emails that I get, but cannot write new emails. What's the trick?

Sounds like you did not get the right data in the correct fields when you imported the address book.
When you open the address book and look at one of the contacts info is the email address in the email address field? If not you need to get that right on the import or manually go through and change them all.

HT2486 Editing contact photos in Address Book doesn't work

Whenever I try to edit a contact picture in Address Book, the edits don't hold. I might reframe or recrop the image, and then click "done." And everything seems to be fine, for two or three seconds. Then it simply snaps back and reverts to the way it was. Sometimes after it reverts, it also shifts upward in the square, leaving a large black space at the bottom of the frame.
Why is this happening and how can it be stopped?!

Can I add external Internet users to my Global Address Book?

We have a semi permanent relationship with another company. We have Groupwise 7.02hp1a and they use Exchange 2007 or 2010(not sure which). They have added many of my people's Internet Addresses they normally deal with here into their Global Address Book(whatever they call it in Exchange). I would like to add in the Internet address of thirty or so of their people into our Global address list for a couple of reasons.
1. My people have Blackberries and they could just type in Bob Smith, do a lookup and send to him. Similarly it would be there on their desktop address list as well.
2. I could include them in system-wide email distribution lists where applicable.
3. In the event someone quits, is terminated or swaps jobs, I could make one global change.
I thought maybe adding a new external entity instead of user, but while that shows up in our addr. list, I can't point it to an internet account. Licensing cost is not a problem so I tried giving one of them a full mailbox at my place and then have a rule fwd all to the outside addr. but it looks sloppy and it is hard to hold conversations because the fwd mailbox is in the sender spot rather than the original sender so reply doesn't work. They have done this on their exchange system so I imagine there is a way on ours as well. Thanks for any help you can give.

Create an external domain and post office in which you add these users.
The'll just appear in your global address book.

Issues with Global Address Book and Out of Office saying Exchange is Offline.

So we have an Exchange 2010 server that has been running fine for quite a few years. We recently changed our firewall to an ASA 5510 and created all the firewall rules necessary to have email work through it. Everything works fine so naturally we thought
everything was good to go.
Then I started getting messages that the Out of Office wasn't working an that when users where trying to set their away message they would get a message from outlook that the exchange server was unavailable, yet when I
check the outlook client it would say Connected to Microsoft Exchange at the bottom. I thought this was crazy so I started looking further into it and it turns out that the name for the server owa.xxxxxx.net points to a public address, which of course lives
on the outside interface to the ASA. In ASA world it doesn't like private space (ie. 192.168.x.x) talking to the outside interface and drops the packets, where our old firewall did not. So as a short term fix I had the users using OWA site with a internal
address to set their out of office message. This worked fine until today when I rebooted the email server and started getting support calls saying that when users where selecting the To: button in a new email that once again they were getting messages saying
that they were not connected to exchange, yet they once again outlook said they were. I then started playing with the host name owa.xxxxxx.net again. This time I changed the hosts file on a box and pointed the internal IP of the exchange server to that
host name. Restarted the outlook client and things started to work as they should. I have played with split DNS to see if this would help so I wouldn't have to do this with every client in the network, and it was promising until I realized that we many hosts
that use this domain and an external DNS server that takes care of these requests that now the internal users will never reach. Funny part is that if we take one of our laptops out side the network everything works fine as well.
So I'm guessing that some of the processes that connect Outlook to Exchange use the FQDN of the server or IP address, and that other things such as the Global Address Book and Out of Office use the External Host Name.
Any help to point these request at the Internal FQDN/IP would be great, or if someone can think of another way of dealing with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Titan,
correct me if i have missed something but are users able to look up contacts in GAL?
If you update (ex mobile number for a user) then run the following commands(one for each line):
Get-GlobalAddressList | update-GlobalAddressList
Get-AddressList | update-AddressList
Get-OfflineAddressBook | Update-OfflineAddressBook
Restart Your Outlook in 5 min,then do a manual OAB download.Is info on that user updated?
Does GAL from frm OWA?
if im not wrong,Status and Out of Office use EWS for status update.
Please run the following command:
Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity “mailserver01\EWS (Default Web Site)” |fl *internalUrl*
where mailserver01 is the server that is having the issue.
Then please check if internal URL is correct for that server (and those that are having issues.
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you. Thank you! Off2work

Unable to sync contacts from iPhone to Address Book...works the other way

I am unable to have changes on my iPhone reflect in my Mac's address book. For example, I would delete a contact on the iphone, but it stays there in the Mac's address book after sync. The worst part is that now on subsequent syncs, the contact is never added back to the phone or deleted from the computer. I am able to create as many contacts as I want on the phone and sync them to the address book, but just not delete modify them.
Creating/deleting contacts in the address book works.
So far, I have tried:
1. Resetting the sync history.
2. Replacing all my iPhone contacts with those in address book.
3. Unselecting and reselecting sync contacts from iTunes.
4. Archiving my address book, deleting everything in it, syncing, and then repopulating it.
5. Restoring my iPhone.
None of this has worked, and I am close to pulling my hair out. I just fixed issues with the new Safari bookmarks sync, and now this. Can anyone please help me fix this issue? Any help would be appreciated.
This is what my console looks like:

PS: Restoring my iPhone messed up the name in iTunes. Any way to get back the name I had earlier?

Thanks for the idea of looking at the Console. I've created new contacts on my MacBook and my iPhone, but neither is syncing to the other, in fact a new contact group I created in Address Book doesn't even show up in the list of groups in the Contacts sync window in iTunes. Here's what the Console says every time I sync:

Subnr. links (2) in tabel to the same address table doesn't work always

Post Author: Piet Blaauw

for english see below
subnr links (2) in tabel naar dezelfde naw tabel werkt niet altijd.
ik heb een rapport gecreerd waar uit dezelfde tabel 2 records worden gelinkt (1 is faktuur debiteur en 1 order debiteur) aan het NAW bestand. Ik heb de NAW tabel 1 keer gehangen aan de faktuur debiteur en daarna nog een keer apart gehangen aan de order debiteur. tabel naam is CONTACT en toen ik hem aan de andere deb. koppelde werd het automatisch CONTACT_1. Dit werkt allemaal prima en ik krijg netjes de informatie uit zowel CONTACT als CONTACT_1 maar het gaat fout als ik een formula field maak waarin vergelijk dat als de factuur deb (gekoppeld aan CONTACT) leeg is dat dan de order deb (gekoppeld aan CONTACT_1) genomen moet worden. Het rapport laat simpelweg niets zien.
Ik weet niet of bovenstaande duidelijk is maar ik hoop dat iemand weet wat er fout gaat.
bij voorbaat dank voor de hulp

Subnr. links (2) in tabel to the same address table doesn't work always
I created a report wher from the same table 2 fields are linked (1 is invoice debtor and 1 is order debtor) to the Main Address table (CONTACT). I have linked the address table to the invoice debtor and once again to the order debtor. When linking this way you see in the DATABASE expert in links 2 times the CONTACT table. Once as CONTACT and once as CONTACT_1. Everything works fine and I receive the data for as well the invoice debtor as the order debtor (if filled in) but it goes wrong when I create a Formula Field where I ask that if the invoice debtor field (Linked to CONTACT) is empty to show order debtor (Linked to CONTACT_1. However then nothing will pops up while the formula is correct.
I hope above is clear and you can help me out

In your formula are you checking for null values as well as if the field is empty?

Outlook - Global Address Book

Hi all NewB here. I tried searching for this but couldn't find it. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
Question: Is there any to upload my outlook address book to my blackberry without using active sync or any other 3rd party software?
Problem: I work in a facility that doesn't allow any 3rd party software to be installed.
I can send and receive email from my blackberry. I've set it up using our Web Access site through my T-Mobile account. I was looking for a way to upload a csv file or the like so I could have my work Global Address Book book on my BB?
Thanks a million,
SSD

I don't understand. Why would the desktop manager be considered 3rd party? It's part of Blackberry.
Only work around I could think of is syncing your outlook at work with outlook at home, then use the desktop manager at home to sync.
ETA: Or you could download the csv. file to a gmail account and sync your blackberry with google mobile applications. They just added the contact sync not too long ago.
