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
Regards,
Shane.

Address book/Contacts sync with Windows Mobile

Hi.
Curious if anyone has tried getting a Windows Mobile to wirelessly sync with Address Book Server and with iCal Server?
IMAP mail works great, but I have a client with mostly Windows Mobile phones and was wondering if there was a way to do this.
Thanks.

For a Windows Phone 7 you can use this http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/windows-phone-7-connector/id415571499?mt=12
For an 'older' Windows phone 6 this http://www.markspace.com/products/windowsmobile/mac/windows-mobile-sync-software .html

Suddenly ICal & Address Book stopped syncing with Outlook for Mac

2 days ago, ICal and Address Book stopped syncing with Outlook for Mac 2011. I still have full functionality of Email in Outlook.
What is wrong and how can I fix it?

Any solution here yet? I have the same issue. After upgrading to Yosemite Outlook for mac kept requiring me to "rebuild identity database"
I did this many times so there were many new identities.
Finally I researched and found out that after the Yosemite update outlook would rebuild identity and once you do that there is a mismatch of your email account in outlook which just needs to be deleted and re-added to fix.
Now since then my outlook contacts and apple address book do not speak to each other.
If I make a new contact on my iphone and sync with my mac it will appear in apple address book.
If I make a new contact in outlook it will not appear on the iPhone.
So the phone is communicating and syncing with apple address book but wherever the apple address book goes to find the outlook contacts it must be using one of the older "identities"
Also now when I am in outlook and go from email to contacts it takes about 20 seconds to open the 5,300 contacts and it used to be instant.
Is there a way to view where outlook is getting the data? When I go into Outlook Preferences, Sync Services, "On My Computer:" is the one that is chosen so that should be good.
Any help?

How can I get Address Book Server to share contacts between users?

I want to have a Shared Address Book for the users on my installation of OS X Lion Server. Users will keep their own contacts individually but there are certain lists and contacts who need to be shared between users and I can't find any way of getting Lion Server to do this. I know it was a problem in Snow Leopard Server but I hoped it had been fixed.
Any suggestions?

Create a new user on the Server called 'ouraddressbook' or whatever. Exit the Server. Into Address Book on your Admin/Client machine create a new Account. Account type is CardDAV, Username and Password the same as the User you created on the Server… 'ouraddressbook' or whatever, and then enter your Server's address as text or numbers. Click creat and the rest is straight forward. Now give the set up details of that new Account to the others who want to share your 'ouraddressbook' with you.The Clients must have, I think, Mac OS 10.6 or upwards to have an Address Book that with co-operate.
You will see a new group in Address Book.
If you don't already know, do not add accounts to Address Book or iCal on the Server. Everything is Admin and Client Side. In the beginning I was also adding accounts to iCal and Address on the Server. It works fine but it is just one extra thing that could become corrupted. Let the Server 'serve' the Users you create on it.
Hit me if you have problems.

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!
Steve

Address Book not syncing with Google Apps

so i thought this will be resolved after reinstalling 10.5.7 (i tried a lot of tweaks in the earlier installation to make this work) but it seems that even with a clean install it wouldnt work.
address book authenticates with google but no updates are being sent or recieved.
did anyone manage to get this working ? i have a feeling its not out of the box...

Hi guys,
I have a similiar problem. My address booked has synced correctly with google contacts since 2 years
And suddenly it stopped syncing. Furthermore when I go to settings/acconts I still find
my "Local" account where i configured my google account, but now the right window is empty.
There is no button to edit or show this account !!
(I mentioned this after update to 10.6.8, but I'm not sure if it worked shortly before doing the update)
What could be wrong ?

Address Book not syncing with Exchange 2007

My address book on Snow Leopard has 4093 cards, but not all of them are showing up in my contacts folder in Outlook Web Access. My company uses Exchange 2007. This is strange as I originally populated my address book by syncing it with my cards on Outlook. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

I can not get imac w/Snow Leopard's address book to sync with ipad 1correctly? I only get about half the contacts?

I have tried repeatedly to get my address book on my imac w/ snow leopard to sync to my ipad 1 correctly and have failed every time. I only get about 1/3 the number of contacts and they don't all even correlate with the ones on the imac. Like one will have full middle name and the other only the initial. I don't know where itunes is getting these contacts but doesn't match those in my address book. I keep telling itunes to replace the contacts on the ipad with those on my mac but it doesnt work. Can't do it with icloud cause snow leopard doesn't support, it still wants to use the non existant mobile me format. Hope someone can help. I added the all amnually once before but they screwed up when I sync each time.

Thanks for your response Ernie. You are correct in that whenever you type a series of letters, Address Book (as it always has) finds every single thing with that combination of letters - Names, businesses, adjectives, people's dogs' names, letters in product serial numbers, etc. This is useful for finding a subject on the Web, or finding all documents related to 'iPhoto' on your Mac, etc., but not useful, quick or convenient when trying to find one person to call in your Address Book (which is what people use Address Book for).
What is DIFFERENT in the Snow Leopard version, is that the ability to type one letter to instantly go to last names with that letter has been removed. Previously, you could easily find 'Bill Tilman' in one second by simply typing 'T'. Now you get every word that starts with T and all the words in the card that have a T in them. If you type out a full name like 'Bill', it finds every person named Bill. No one would ever want to find all their contacts named Bill to call them. You could type out the full last name 'Tilman', but there again you are forced to type out a complete name to do a search. It would actually be quicker to scroll down and find it manually. The ability to type a single letter to find the last name (or business name) of a contact you needed to call, was much quicker and easier than having to type out the entire name.

How do I have my iphone (3gs) override the desktop address book when syncing with iTunes?

My desktop address book is incorrect and I can't seem to restore it from time machine. My iphone contacts are correct. How can I have the iphone override the desktop address bookwhen I sync it with iTunes?

For some reason during the sync it finally asked me what to do about the conflict - it hadn't asked me before. So problem has been fixed. Thanks.

10.6 Snow Leopard, Address Book Server, 10.5 Clients needing access

Hi,
Setup Snow Leopard Server for a local not for profit that I donate some time to. All works great for their 10.6 Clients but (despite a fair bit of research) I cant find a way to get CARDDAV access to 10.5 PPC macs.
Is there a way or app that will let this happen. ie OS X 10.5.8 PPC Client (all patched up) needing to see a shared address book on the server. It can even be read only...
Been trolling through the options but it doesnt look promising... Hoping there is a real answer out there somewhere.

Hi, thanks for the reference.. Had been there without much success.
I am going to investigate a roundabout method... Using a shared address book read/write for the 10.6 clients and then syncing that with google. It would appear that 10.5 can sync via google.
Kind of a strange way to go but its the only thing I can think of at present. A carddav client for 10.5 would be sweet...

Address book not syncing with Office 365

I use Office 365 as my primary work email. I have elected to sync my Office 365 address book with my MBA running 10.7.
Most of the time it works OK, but I often get an error sign next to the Office 365 group in the Address Book. The error generally says "Address Book cannot save the contact <name> to the Exchange Server and gives me the option to Revert to Server or go Offline.
If I elect to revert to server, the error goes away but sync still doesn't work. If I restart Address Book I get the same error with another contact.
Is there a way to validate the entire address book rather than having to continually restart the Address Book app?

Waiting was the key solution here!
After waiting aprox 2/3 hours it worked. Changed nothing...

Address book not syncing with gmail

I had my address book syncing with Gmail but it no longer does. I make a change on my Mac and nothing happens in the cloud. I believe I have it configured properly (Synchronize with Google is selected in Preferences > Accounts and configured). Currently, the only account listed is 'On My Mac (Local)'.
o What might be the problem?
o how can I force a sync?
TIA,
David

For me, a few days later is just started working so I assumed it was a temp glitch. I am however now having trouble with ical updating to google. Also, an ongoing issue I have is that google or apple duplicates my contacts. I go into google, delete dupes, and then a day or two later they are all back.
If anyone can help with apple to google sync, it would be greatly appreciated. When I say help, I mean get it working reliably and consistently. From everything I have read, I have everything set up right but clearly something is wrong.
