IOS7 iphone 4S hides CalDav and CardDav outside LAN

Dear Apple Community,
I couldn't find a solution with Google & Co. So here is my Problem:
Since I updated our business iphone 4S (luckily only two at the moment) to iOS7, the CardDav contacts and CalDav calendars disappear on the phone once it is approximately one or two days outside the office Wifi LAN and without contact to the CardDav/CalDav OSX (10.8.5) Server.
The CardDav and CalDav accounts are still visible in the settings menu on the iphone, but disappear in the corespondent App (Calendar/Addressbook).
Once I re-enter the Wifi LAN the calendars and contacts re-appear.
I did never experience this behavior with iOS 6 nor 5.
At the moment our server is not set to be reachable from WAN for security reasons.
We recently performed an update to 10.8 on our server, however the
'disappearing' happened also under 10.6. So I strongly believe it is an iOS7 issue.
Is this behavior a feature or a fault?
If it is a feature, please tell me, where I can disable it, or which settings are wrong.
Thank you very much,
Stefan

Hi wjosten,
thanks for the quick reply. I have seen that thread, but it does not quite catch my problem.
The Sync with the iPhones and the Server work perfect.
But the iPhone somehow decides after a while, when it can't reach the server anymore, to hide the contacts from the carddav and also the calendars from the caldav accounts.
e.g. When you go into the Adressbook - Groups -> you usually see the CardDav Groups ... but they magically disappear after a few days without being in the office LAN. Of course also the corespondent Adressbook entries disappear. The same applies to the Calendar Accounts.
However, they are still visible in the main configuration.
I hope, my problem is clearer now.
Stefan

How do I setup CalDav and CardDav servers on my Mac to enable local 'cloud' syncing in Mavericks

I've decided to start off a new thread having initially posted on How to locally sync an iPhone with OS X Mavericks? iCloud is NOT an option.
It is clear to me that it is possible to establish syncing locally without going outside one's own home, and without internet access. I am bugged by the fact that the previous service has gone without any user focussed warning, but I am keen to find a way of solving the problem. If you are just frustrated, I'd be grateful if you can keep your annoyance off this thread.
My guess is that a CalDav and CardDav server hosted on my own Mac can be set upt to sync with my iPhone (3GS) either on a Computer-to-Computer (ad hoc) network or via my own home LAN. The trouble is I am not network/Apache savvy enough to use it.
I am reluctant to fork out an additional amount for the Mavericks server as I don't have any other foreseeable need for it, but Mavericks comes with Apache pre-loaded and there is a very light, simple and free open source CalDav and CardDav server in Baïkal. The trouble is I am not apache/network savvy enough to make use of it, and basically I am stumbling along in the near dark with terminal.
There are some good resources for setting up Apache and for setting up Virtual Hosts which would host my personal 'cloud', and Baïkal also comes with setup guides as well. The trouble is, I don't quite have enough knowledge to marry the two together. Is there anyone contributing to or watching this thread who has the know-how to do a proper step by step guide for running Baïkal on Apache as installed in the Mavericks OS, and setting up a local 'cloud'.
AFAICT the problem with the resources I have found is that the Apache stuff I've found doesn't particularly focus on running Baïkal, and the Baïkal documentation is not specific to Apache on Mavericks. Is there anyone out there who can give me some help with this?
Can anyone help - please?

I've now downloaded ownCloud 4.5.13 and followed the installation instructions in the Administrators Manual. I am slightly concerned to read under MacOS: "This section of the manual needs to be revised."
However, I have followed the instructions there, and step 5 has taken me to the web setup page where I have created an account with user name and password.
Then I went to Calendar, and from the Calendar menu chose Add Account… In the dialog that followed I chose Add CalDAV Account. I chose Account Type Manual and put in the username and password I used when setting up the ownCloud account. For the URL I followed the manual and put: http://ADDRESS/remote.php/caldav/principals/username/ substituing 'localhost:8888/ownCloud' for the address, and my ownCloud username for the username. (If I just used 'localhost:8888' for the address it produced the message: "The URL http://localhost:8888/remote.php/caldav/principals/[myusername]/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct.".)
So far I am semi-sucessful. It has created a Http://Localhost:8888/Owncloud account on Calendar in which I have been able to creat a test calendar and an event. I have also deleted the event, but Calendar will not let me delete the calendar. Once I inserted a second calendar the Delete command became available, but failed with this notice: "http://localhost:8888/ownCloud/remote.php/caldav/principals/[myusername]/ is not a location that supports this request." A retry deleted the name of the calendar, but left it otherwise intact. The account now has a grey triangle next to it which when clicked produces the following: "The request (CalDAVCalendarSplitDualTypeCalendarQueueableOperation) for account “Http://Localhost:8888/Owncloud/Remote” failed."
I think this may be resolved by an ownCloud setting. I will see if I can track this down. Has anyone here got any thoughts?
[I'm sorry I seem to be unable to prevent the editor from creating clickable links from the URLs I am posting]

Who got caldav and carddav push running successful on lion server?

Hello everybody,
I am running OS X Server since 10.5 server which I upgraded to 10.6 server in the past without problems, upgrading 10.6 to 10.7 was is a mess and none of my serveral upgrades attempts were leading into a "stable" lion server so I ended up with manual upgrading my data into a clean install of lion server.
After data migration most of my services are working as usual (some profilemanager quirks but that don't bother me for now).
Only when it comes to push for calendar and addressbook services I am getting frustrated!
Push mail is running fine for my iDevices (Push is listed on my iPhone and iPad and Mac) but for caldav and carddav my caldavd error.logs are throwing error messages like this if I access iCal or addressbook via Mac or iDevice (no Push available on iPhone or iPad neither on my Mac).
Those for caldav

I tried several thing (changing serveradmin settings, plist and other configuration files, checking passwords, renew apple push certificates etc.) but that changed nothing, so if one got those push services running correctly I would appreciate if one could share his configuration so I can compare it with mine.
I think those files and output are interesting for the configuration, if some other files are important please note them.
If one feel afraid to post his configuration for security reasons etc. please ask for my email address
Output of terminal command:
sudo serveradmin settings calendar
sudo serveradmin settings addressbook

This error... <error code='403' type='auth'><forbidden xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/></error> ...looks like the XMPP notification server is not allowing the calendar server's XMPP account (or "JID") to create/configure pubsub nodes. The XMPP notification server keeps a list of privileged JIDs in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.NotificationServer.plist.
First, check to see that calendar server is configured to use the "com.apple.notificationuser@<your hostname>" account by running this command in terminal:
sudo serveradmin settings calendar:Notifications:Services:XMPPNotifier:JID
You should see something like:
calendar:Notifications:Services:XMPPNotifier:JID = "[email protected]"
Next, see who is in the notification server's "privileged users" list via:
serveradmin settings notification:privilegedUsers
You should see something like:
notification:privilegedUsers:_array_index:0 = "_notification_user"
notification:privilegedUsers:_array_index:1 = "com.apple.notificationuser"
If you don't see "com.apple.notificationuser", you'll need to edit /Library/Preferences/com.apple.NotificationServer.plist and add it to the "privilegedUsers" array like:
<key>privilegedUsers</key>
          <array>
     <string>_notification_user</string>
     <string>com.apple.notificationuser</string>
          </array>
Then I would recommend rebooting the server so that you are sure the notification server is restarted and re-reads the plist.

CalDAV and CardDAV issues

Hi,
I just got my new Z10 ... it looks and works great.
However, when I try to get the CalDAV configured against a Zimbra or OwnCloud backend it keeps asking for an e-mail address to use as the login.
These two services use the username. Why can't the client be configured to use the specific username instead of being forced to use the e-mail address as the username.
I know there are issues with the Google Calendars but these other ones are not working at all either.
Is there something I can do to workaround this issue since I am not the administrator of the CalDAV services I am connecting to I can't change my username to be the same as the e-mail address?
Thanks!

I spend some nights with my new Z10 and ownCloud (4.5.7 and 5.0.0).
I checked out what's going on (wireshark is very, very useful) :
Here's a short summary:
email adress is not necessary (to connect to ownCloud), username and password are used
Server name ist really just the server (a port number may be added); no protocol, no path/filename
https is alwas used, thus default port is 443
ownCloud sends http redirects to phone's requests, but BB doesn't seem to handle them properly.
The last item mentions the problem(s)
For some reason ownCloud only responds to
<servername>/<path>/remote.php/<application, eg. carddav>
BB requests two paths: "/" and ".well-known" -> ownCloud sends redirects (per default HTTP 302 "Found", other 30x codes don't work either)
BB ignores the redirect respones; instead it just retries
I modified ownCloud's internal checks in order to make it respone to ".well-known" requests.
It wasn't actuall stable, but at least I was able to load my old phone's contacts...
CalDAV appeared to work to, but then the Z10 killed the calendar application whenever I attempted to enter a date.

IOS 8 Google Setup Using Caldav and Carddav

Does the built-in Google account under Mail, Contacts, and Calendar use cardav and caldav when I setup my google account? Currently I’m using Google for email only and then I have separate carddav and caldav accounts for my Contacts and Calendar to be sure I’m using the proper setup. I’m looking to simplify my setup on my IOS devices.

I recall a couple years ago when I set it up there were limitations, I forget what they were now, to using active sync and people recommended using cardav and caldav. I have a Google Apps for Domains account that I’m using. At this point I see no reason to investigate further.
Thanks again!

Major CalDav and Syncing Issues with Ical and Address Book

As a CEO and business owner - I loved the move over to Mac after the intel chip as installed. Yet, the issue of working on a Mac for business comes down to the operating system. Up to Snow Leopard I was very pleased.... since Lion it has gone downhill.   I upgraded to Mountain Lion and many of the issues with speed and problems with mail were addressed. Yet, it appears Apple has made a bad decision with regard to synciing to other programs.
I was told it has cut out syncing capablities for Address book and Ical (I assume other programs). This has caused great issues for The Omni Group, File Maker and Market Cirlce (creators of Daylite) and a lot of angst for me as a business owner!
To top this off - it appears CalDav is not bi-directional and has issues. In other words, it does not work as it should.
I am not sure what Apple was thining when it stopped allowing internal sync between programs. Yet, CalDav and CardDav are not always the answers!
I hope the CalDav issues are being cleaned up and if anyone from Apple wishes to comment on this I would appreciate it. I have tried to talk to support but the powers to be are the ones calling the shots on software design. Support can't fix what is broken the program.
Again, I hope Apple revisits syncing. Maybe the concern is security but it is MY DATA not yours. I just want the programs to work so I can make sales and support my customers efficiently.   You have made it hard to do this with changes.

As an IT consultant, i'm in agreement with Mr Utts.    The promise of "it just works" died with Steve Jobs.   Mac OS has been in freefall since 10.5 .    I need a fully functional OS, not an iPad on my desk. ( this means YOU Forstall !! )
Why break Samba ( a standard ), why break WebDAV ( a standard ), why break CalDAV ( a standard )??    Apple has done ALL of these things and they seem to be doing it on purpose.
The Apple "ecosystem" is just fine, but removing functionality as fast as you can, and removing interoperablity as fast as you can... if Apple products ONLY work within the ecosystem... people can and will leave Apple.    You've already run off the business users by refusing to make a real Server or real Server software.   You ran off the video user with Final Cut Pro X.   Dumbing down (and breaking) the OS is running off the IT User.
Mac OS used to easily walk the line of "hard core enough for a Unix Guru, easy enough for your Mom". Now they just want the Moms.
And i disagree, we are ALL "qualified to say what Apple might do about this...", they will do nothing.   They don't beleive they have made a mistake. They beleive WE are the problem by stubbornly insisting that things that used to work should continue to work.

I loaded ios7.1 to my Ipad2 and my wife's cell phone came up. I can't change it and now I get her text messages on my iphone4S and she is getting apps I download on her iphone 4S. How do we fix it?

I recently downloaded ios7.1 to my ipad and my wife's cell phone # appeared on my ipad. It would not let us change it. Now I am getting her text messages and she is getting the apps I load on her iphone4S. We both have iphone 4S, but she has version 7.1 and I still have 6.0 because I didn't like the changes in v.7.0. We share an Apple ID and password which was not a problem before. My daughter says this is our problem, as she had her husband had this issue. She doesn't know how he fixed it. Has anyone else had this issue and can you tell us how to separate our Apple ID/passwords if this is, indeed, the problem?

If you share an Apple ID, both of your phone numbers should be linked to that ID. You should be able to use your phone number as well. My wife, my daughter and I all share an Apple ID for purchases, and we each text from our iOS devices using our own iPhone numbers.
When iOS 6 came out, you were able to link the phone number with your Apple ID to use for Messages and FaceTime. You will need to sign out of messages on all devices and then start the process all over again.
Take a look at this.

HT201442 my iphone 5 is saying 'Activation Required' and ive had ios7 since it came out and never had any problems using it. how can i fix this ?

someone help me fix my phone i have had ios7 since it came out and it has randomly come up with 'Activation Required' never had any problems with the iphone so how do i fix this ?

Were you, by chance, running a beta version of iOS 7 on your phone?
If so, this will be the problem. You will need to log Into the private developers forum at https://developer.apple.com/support/ios/
If you are not a developer, you will need to seek help by way of your favourite search engine.

Iphone 5 camera is not working soon after I downloaded ios7. Camera is frozen and shows a blur picture.

Hi Apple,
Can you tell me if there's a reason for my camera not working on my iphone 5.
Soon after downloading ios7 , the camera's front picture has frozen and shows
blurred picture . The app itself is frozen also , can't bring up photos from photo album .
Also I reset the phone and still the camera is not working .
please advise me as what to do next .
Regards.
Reggie.

Hi Patoraffo,
I understand that you are having issues with the Camera app functioning, I found the following information that may provide a resolution:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Camera is not functioning
- If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
- If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
- Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
- Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
- Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
- Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
- Try to remain steady while focusing:
- Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
- Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
- If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Close out of the camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
Then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Then check your camera roll again.

Sorry, there's no way around Activation Lock. So, give the phone back to your "friend", as you will never be able to use it.

Can IPhone be activated and used outside the US on other networks?

Dear all,
I was wondering if the iPhone can be launched and activated to operate outside the United States, any other country using their networks or its just exclusively by AT&T..?

You have to activate the iPhone on the AT&T network. However, you can ask AT&T to enable international roaming and use it in other countries. If you do not have international roaming enabled, you can still do email and internet browsing when you are connected to wifi in other countries, but no phone service or sms.
Other users report spotty international roaming performance for phone calls and sms. Also, international roaming for phone and data (other than on wifi) is extremely expensive.
