How do I add an Address Book Server account to iPhone 3G iOS 3.1.3

Heya,
I have an iPhone 3G that is running version 3.1.3 of the iPhone OS and I need to add an Address Book Server account (that is being run on Snow Leopard Server to the phone but the only option I have is LDAP. My understanding is that Address Book Server uses CardDAV not LDAP. So I went ahead and added the account by choosing "Settings" -> "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" -> "Add Account..." ->"Other" -> "Contacts - Add LDAP Account" and entered my servers information. After selecting "Next" it prompts me with the following message:
"Cannot Connect Using SSL - Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?"
I choose "Continue" -> the message disappears and I choose "Save" -> then I'm prompted with this message:
"This account may not be able to search contacts. Are you sure you want to save?"
I choose "Save" and it appears to add it. To verify I exit "Settings" and go to "Address Book" and none of my contacts appear. I even let it sit for an hour on a WiFi connection without any luck. Can someone help?
Thanks!

Haha, I asked for that.
I get the error "Unable to verify account information" whenever I try and add the account (note I've hidden my email address in the picture)

    Unless your carrier doesn't have the required SIM card size, you can get a new SIM card from your carrier. There is usually no charge for this.
    If you don't have an Apple iCloud account or if you do being accessed on the iPhone with contacts turned off for over the air syncing, you should be able to transfer contacts from the Address Book app on your Mac via the iTunes sync process. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
    If you have an iCloud account, you can sync contacts over the air with the Address Book on your Mac. After confirming your contacts are available with your iCloud online address book - checked by logging in with your iCloud account using a browser on your Mac, you can then turn Contacts on for over the air syncing with your iCloud account settings on your iPhone and your contacts will then be available there and kept synced automatically over the air between your iPhone address book, your iCloud online address book, and the Address Book on your Mac without having to sync with iTunes for this.

  • Mail: when there is a list of email addresses how do i add to address book?

    Hello, ... When i get an incoming email from a person and it is cc'ed to a whole list of people (separate email addresses) --> how do i put all those listed email addresses into my address book/ contact list?
    For example, when i get an email from my kid's hockey coach and i want to contact every other parent that is listed on that cc list, ... how do i easily add all those on that list?
    Thanks....

    ogopogodude,
    Right-click on each desired (separate) contact, and select "Add to Address Book."
    Then make a calendar Group, name it Hockey, and individually drag those new contacts to the Soccer Group.

  • Address Book Server sync to iPhone

    Once you've setup Address Book Server and you've connected to it via the Address Book client, what's the best way to get those contacts onto the iPhone? The iPhone doesn't have a CardDAV account option so that leaves syncing via iTunes, unless I'm missing something.

    Hi Demonstrous,
    Intersting! You gave me a flash on inspiration, so I went and grabbed the Iphone Config Util (latest version). I setup (just) a CalDav account, uploaded it, and pointed Safari at it. It updated, and sure enough there was my new account setup.
    But, ... this is where are story differs.
    Where does it say PUSH in your iPhone config, which would make you think its working.
    I checked on the server, ... 1st clue, under Push Notification, only TWO connections (one for mail, one for Calendar), ... technically there should be a THIRD for the iPhone using CalDav push. Not there.
    I check under: Settings -> Push Notifications. (I see Prowl), but no mention of Calendar. Not there.
    I check on: Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and under my calendar there is nothing to show that its now Push. Not there.
    With my iPhone on, at the springboard, .. I log into a test account Web Calendar, ... setup a new appointment and INVITE my iPhone CalDav account. Its setup.
    1 - No PUSH notification, that its received a new event.
    2 - No PUSH notification on the badge for Calendar, to show a new event.
    Click on iCal, and ofcourse it POLLS my server, and shows the event.
    But this thing is NOT smart.
    It doesn't know that despite it being setup as MY CalDav account, and showing a new event which is inviting me to attend....
    1 - It doesn't know that ME is ME. i.e. when I click on my (invited) name, it gives me options to create a new contact, add to existing contact, or share contact. It doesn't get that this is MEEEEEEE !
    2 - It doesn't allow me to accept the event (based partly on #1 above). It should know there's an invite for ME, and should allow me to accept or decline the invitation.
    So, .. all this leads me to believe that its not push, its still POLL, and that it needs a serious upgrade to the iPhone app to become "user aware".
    Still think yours is Push..?
    Cheers!

  • 10.6.2 breaks syncing address book server contacts on iPhone?

    I had this working, then I think it broke what I updated to 10.6.2.
    Snow Leopard Server with Address Book Server. My 10.6.2 client can successfully connect to and sync contacts that are on the server. No problem. When I go to sync my iPhone, only the contacts that are stored locally on my machine sync, not the contacts on the server.
    As I said, this was working, then one day it wasn't. I was able to sync the contacts that are stored on the server to my iPhone via iTunes. "All Contacts" is still checked, nothing changed other than 10.6.2 update.
    Can anyone else verify this? Are you doing this? Is it working for you in 10.6.1? 10.6.2? Thanks in advance. (And yes, I have posted this in the SLS forum, but this isn't a server connectivity/behavior issue, it's between the iPhone and iTunes and Address Book.)

    Apple says that if it used to work for me, as is described in the materials on the website which is the way it is supposed to work, that it was actually the unexpected behavior. Hm.
    They did say to wait for an iPhone update which will allow the iPhone to talk directly to Address Book Server. For now, I should make a local group, copy the contacts from the server into that local group, and sync them that way. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of a central contacts server. Oh well. Here's hoping.

  • How do i add my address book from my mac to my iPhone4

    i have my address book on my mac book and have connected and synced my new iphone4 but im not sure how to add something from my computer to my phone. . . . please HELP!

    The iPad contact app and the computer's contact app are not the same. You can't create groups on the iPad. You can view the groups created on the computer when synced with iCloud. Not sure if synced with iTunes, but the iPad app won't change.
    If you synced the iPad with iTunes before, then it should still show up as a device in iTunes. If you are using the new iTunes, the devices don't appear in the sidebar anymore. At the upper right hand side if the iTunes window, younshould see a box to show devices. Click on that.

  • How do I sync my address book contacts on my iphone and clear all other contacts on my phone (issue with icloud?)

    When I purchased my iphone 4S, I had all my old phone's information transfer over to my new phone. 
    I organized my address book on my mac powerbook and then hoped to sync my computer's address book to my phone - in hopes of erasing all the junky contacts on my iphone and only having the my address book contacts on my phone.
    I did all I could trying to make this happen (through iTunes) but it hasn't erased/replaced all of the contacts on my phone - I believe since my phone is synced to icloud.  So I'm stuck with a very unorgaized contacts list on my phone...
    How can I make it so I only have the contacts from my address book on my phone?
    Thanks in advance,
    Suzanne 

    Also, I just noticed that syncing my phone effected my calendar in that all my events now repeat.  So instead of having one event schedule on a day, I have two of the same events scheduled for the same time.
    It seems as if I can't sync my phone to my computer through iTunes and iCloud. 
    Help???

  • Syncing contacts between iPhone and Address Book Server

    How does one sync contacts from the Address Book Server with the iPhone?
    The Apple ad says, "With Address Book, you can even synchronize contacts to your iPhone for accessing your contacts on the go."
    How?

    Ugh...I just spent lots of hours over the last several days trying to figure this out and was coming to the conclusion that it could be that it really doesn't work as advertising. It seems confirmed now.
    A bit disappointing that it seems like it would be better to run an Exchange server instead of Snow Leopard server....
    I have MobileMe as well, but it doesn't seem like I can get SL Server --> Mac Addressbook.app --> MobileMe --> iPhone... but I'll give it a few tries.

  • How do you add multiple addresses from Mail to Address Book at once?

    So let's say I receive an email to myself and 50 other recipients and I want to add those other recipients to my address book. Do I seriously have to go through and select "Add to Address Book" on each of the fifty contacts?! Tried doing a shift click which will highlight all contacts, but then when you right-click to get the "add to address book option" it only displays one single contact at the top of the menu. I know there is a way to add select and add multiple contacts to address book at once because I figured out how to do it once a long time ago and I still have the 67 card group to prove it. I just can't remember how I did it!!! Didn't think it'd be such a hard feature to re-discover. Would love some help on this! Thanks.
    David

    there is no built-in way to do this. the only way i know is by using Mail Scripts
    http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    it has a script "Add addresses" that does just what you want.

  • Cant add new contacts to Address Book Server

    I would like to have a Global Address Book Server where all the user can add/delete contacts. I have done all the setups but in the iMacs (the users) I can see the Address Book Server but NOT the + button to add a new contact. Why ?
    In the group name, together to "Address Book Server" there is not any error icon so I understand the client-server connection is well done.
    Can someone tell me what should I check ?
    Thank you in advanced

    I was look ing at this last night. I think there's an 'add new contacts to' type pop-up somewhere in the client account settings. That might be it.

  • HowI get Address Book Server sync with clients?

    I have just set up Lion Server on a macmini and am learning how to set it up.  I cannot get address Book server to sync with client accounts.
    The server is function is active.  The users are properly set up, and the clients have been connected to the server and a Mac OSX Server Address Book created.  I have also set up the address book on the Mac Mini with an OSX Server addresss book.  It should show the same entries as the client and sync wherever changes are made.  Not a sausage....nothing......  The little 'wheel' whizzes round and does......... you have got it........ nothing.
    I thought this was easy to use?
    Any help would be welcome.

    Hi,
    Yes the sync tool is a standalone utility (you don't need the outlook connector installed). I finally got around to installing/configuring the latest version (comm-suite-5 sync tool) against my 2005Q4 test install.
    The addressbook server is the UWC address as I mentioned before but you also need to include the /uwc on the end.
    So for my system I have the following setting:
    local.sso.uwc.verifyurl = http://test-system.sun.com:82/uwc/VerifySSO?
    This maps to a :
    => Address Book Server: test-system.sun.com/uwc
    => Port: 82
    So in your case it would be:
    local.sso.uwc.verifyurl = http://hostname:6788/uwc/VerifySSO?
    => Address Book Server: hostname/uwc
    => Port: 6788

  • How to add an address book field into a Numbers spreadsheet?

    In Pages, I can add an address book field so I can drag & drop a contact from my address book into the actual document without having to type out the address, city, state, zip etc.
    Is this possible in Numbers? I use spreadsheets to create invoices and I really miss the drag and drop features that I have gotten used to in Pages.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello,
    It seems that all the same Functions are available for calculations in a table within Pages as in Numbers. Perhaps you could keep working in Pages and do your invoice calculations there.
    Highlight the table cell into which you want to place a calculation and select Insert - Function from the Command Menu.
