Iphone 4s creates duplicate contacts after connecting to office 365 services

I have a client that has an iphone 4s after she synchronized her iphone with an office 365 online services account(its exchange 2010).
now the phone keep creating duplicate contacts (even after I delete them they keep apearing).
microsoft says its an apple problem what can be done?
thanks
rotem

In Mid-August, 2012, this problem still continues and I am unaware any fix to the problem.
I am running iOS 5.1 on iPhone 4S
Outlook (Hosted Exchange) 365
WIndows 7
Outlook 2010 client
Initial setup:
Contacts clean and no duplicates in Hosted Exchange & Outlook 2010
Zero contacts in the iPad and iPhone before syncing with Exchange services
Same condition with iPhone
Same condition with iPad
iTunes not involved, no syncing ever (and no [email protected] ever created.)
iCloud Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes all turned off
Connected with Exchange with legit user name, password and server domain, togel soft switches on the Exchange Mail, Contacts, Calenday and Labels/Reminders.
iPhone receives synced contacts (and email and calendar and notes) from Exchange Active Sync
User is fine until he/she searches for a contact via iOS device.
As searches continue , user believes that Contacts crash (quit unexpectedly and return to main iOS app page.
Duplicates begin to display on the iOS device that Contacts crashed on.
IF the user then edits one of the phantom duplicate contacts, the record duplicatiuon begins to grow in Outlook Contacts. But if no pantom editing happens, the duplications continues only on the iOS device and the contacts begin to appear in tripples and more .
If you are having this problem, please post it, so that if Apple ever reads these boards, they see the problem is not isolated to a few and they begin to understand that the iOS devices will be jetisoned from enterprise customers because problems like this should be acknoledged and resolved on a MUCH more timely manner.

My iPhone 6 is deleting contacts after sending them a message on iMessage, using iOS 8.1.2

Hi All,
My iPhone 6+ is deleting contacts after sending them a message on iMessage, using iOS 8.1.2.
Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a fix?
It was not doing this until today.

Library shortcut not showing up after Connect to Office in SharePoint 2010

I clicked "Connect to Office" in the library ribbon. The shortcut to the site showed up under Favorites in window's explore. But the library is not showing up.
The browser is IE 9, 32 bit.
any idea why the library shortcut not showing?

Hi,
According to your description, after Connect to Office, The shortcut to library is not showing up under SharePoint Sites.
I have met the same issue with you, and I solved the issue by the following:
Delete SharePoint Sites under Favorites in window's explore and go to C:\Users\Your user account, delete the SharePoint Sites folder.
Go to Connect to Office-> Click Manage SharePoint sites-> Delete all the library links.
Go to Connect to Office-> Click add to SharePoint sites again and check the result.
If the shortcut to the site doesn’t show up under Favorites in Windows explore,
go to C:\Users\Your user account, copy the SharePoint Sites folder, paste it into Favorites in Windows explore.

Can't connect to Office 365 mail account via Apple Mail (Exchange)

I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite, but had this problem before upgrading as well. I have an Office 365 mail account, but cannot sync it via Apple Mail. I went into my Apple Mail accounts and tried connecting my Office 365 account through the Exchange option, but it will not connect. From my knowledge, this is not an uncommon problem but it is very inconvenient. Is there any way to get around the glitch, or anything I should be doing differently? I do know a couple people with Office 365 accounts who have been able to make it work, but they apparently did not do anything differently when setting up their account.

Sometimes this issue is caused by a misconfiguration or incompatibility of the Exchange server, or perhaps by a bug in Mail. If so, you won't be able to resolve it yourself. The fact that your iOS devices may be working well with the same account isn't relevant, because iOS uses a completely different protocol (ActiveSync) to communicate with Exchange servers. By default, OS X Mail uses the EWS protocol.
Each of the following steps has been reported to help with Exchange issues, at least temporarily, in some cases:
1. Back up all data. Open the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences and check to make sure you don't have duplicate Exchange accounts. If you do, delete all but one of the duplicates. If there are no duplicates, delete the account and recreate it with the same settings.
2. Rebuild the affected mailbox.
3. Reindex messages.
4. Follow the instructions in this support article to disable autodiscovery. You may need to get configuration details from the server administrator.
5. In the Keychain Access application, delete the password item for the account. The next time Mail tries to access the account, you'll be prompted for the password. Check the box to save it in the Keychain.
6. If you've created subfolders of the Exchange inbox, log in to the server through its web interface, move the messages out, and remove the subfolders. The inbox should have no subfolders.
7. Synchronize with the server using IMAP rather than EWS. This is only possible if IMAP is enabled on the server.
8. Consider using Outlook instead of Mail to access your Exchange mail.

I can't seem to make a working profile to connect to office 365 on a windows 7 pc with only the mapi cdo runtime version 6.5.8320.0 installed using mfcmapi nor programmatically

Hi,
I have been struggling with this for a few days now.
i have pc where no outlook is installed, where i installed the MAPI CDO Runtime may update (version 6.5.8320.0). i checked in the registry that the default mail provider was set to exchangemapi (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail) .. it is.
I downloaded the lastest version of mfcmapi, which i believe was the version of december 2013
but i can't seem to create a profile for office 365 in it. I followed http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dvespa/archive/2013/05/21/how-to-mfcmapi-create-mapi-profile-exchange-2013.aspx and then i changed the properties to what was proposed here http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dvespa/archive/2013/07/15/create-profile-connect-mfcmapi-to-office-365.aspx
That did not work, i keep getting an error one ore more properties are invalid when i try to use that created profile to connect to office 365 (from within mfcmapi).
I also changed some of those proposed values to what autodiscover was telling me like setting PR_PROFILE_RPC_AUTH_PACKAGE to RPC_C_AUTHN_ANONYMOUS which should be the value $8000F001 instead of RPC_C_AUTH_NONE (at least i think so)
I builded a simple program to encrypt my password using CryptProtectData and entered the value using mfcmapi in PR_PROFILE_AUTH_PASSWORD as was suggested in the last page.
but nothing seems to work, i keep getting wrong configured errors and i'm totally clueless atm. This is supposed to work right on a pc where outlook is not installed ?
I also tried this on another pc where outlook 2010 is installed and i am able to create the profile there and connect without a problem given that i enter the logon credentials once and let them be remember (they get stored / cached in the windows key store,
like when using CREDWRITE function) from then on i can connect without a problem.
also when calling configuremsgservice on the EMS service i created for a new profile in mfcmapi and let the UI show i can see on the pc where outlook is installed in the UI options to enter proxy information however when i do the same thing on the pc
where only the mapi cdo runtime is installed i do not see any UI option to configure the proxy server information ... is this normal ?
Hopefully someone can shed some light on what i'm doing wrong or might be wrong.
Thanks in advance
Willems Davy

The window would open and I would get the hourglass cursor suggesting something was happening, but the Apple home page (default from the install) would not load, nor would any other page I tried (google, yahoo, cnn).
Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.)

Cannot connect to Office 365 using Powershell on Windows 7 SP1

Hi,
I was trying to connect to Office 365 using windows azure active directory module for Windows Powershell.
$Cred = Get-Credential
Connect-MsolService -Credential $cred
It failed on my windows 7 machine with the error
Connect-MsolService : Unable to authenticate your credentials. Make sure that your user name is
in the format: <username>@<domain>. If this issue persists, contact support.
This issue happened in Windows 7 SP1 OS.
But, when I tried the same thing on a Windows 2008 R2 VM, it connected successfully.
This means that the account I was trying to login does have the permissions.
Both the machines ( windows 7 and windows server 2008 R2) have the following pre-requisites installed:
Install Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39267

VS2012 Connection to Office 365 Sharepoint Site

Hi,
I m trying to create auto hosted app for my office 365 shp site. while creating project in vs2012, when i click on validate online shp site, it goes inside the site. As a result I m not able to deploy app. It should give me Connection successful message.
Plz help.. if u too came across and solved. Your help is appreciated.
Sandy

Autohosted Apps have been discontinued (or will be shortly). You need to create it as a Provider Hosted App if you want to use server side code. To do that you need to provision the remote web side of the app manually. VS 2012 projects
are defaulted to an on-premises environment where the remote web can also be hosted on your local IIS instance. That isn't possible in Office 365. Take a look at the following blog for more info.

Possible ways to connect SharePoint Office 365 to External databases

Hi,
Is there a way we can connect SharePoint Office 365 to Oracle & MySQL Databases and also is it possible for these databases to feed data to SharePoint Office 365 rather than SharePoint pulling the data from these databases.
Thanks

Hi,
As far as I know, it is not feasible to connect SharePoint Office 365 to Oracle & MySQL Databases by OOTB. But you can consider deploying the Business Connectivity Services (BCS) which can access data from WCF Data Services and SQL Server Azure Connectors.
Also you can consider three part tools.
For more information, you can have a look at the thread:

Server Essientials DashBoard wont connect to Office 365 / Exchange Tenant

We logged a ticket with Microsoft support nearly a month ago and to date still no solution.
Server essentials is connecting to Office 365, however isn't retrieving any user or exchange online information.
Exchange Online comes back as not available. Have built a fresh DC, tried a different admin account, same problem.
Believe the problem is to do with the Exchange Online Tenant but the error is cryptic
This is the error we have found in the log
[3388] 150202.084044.2621: PSRunspace: Release PS runspace failed with the exception : System.Management.Automation.Remoting.PSRemotingTransportException: Closing the remote server shell instance failed with the following error
message : The server certificate on the destination computer (pod51053psh.outlook.com:443) has the following errors:
Encountered an internal error in the SSL library. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
   at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.Internal.RunspacePoolInternal.EndClose(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
   at System.Management.Automation.RemoteRunspace.Close()
Have tried the following work arounds as well, no good.

get psexec to run on the server (Tried under admin command and normal user command prompt, same result, under a domain admin account).
If anyone has any suggestions please let me now, is very frustrating for end users having to maintain 2 passwords (2k+ users).
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Cliff, I will investigate decommissioning essientials proir to adfs / dir sync.
It should be noted Essentials was working OK until Server Essentials was moved to another DC (Which according to MS is possible if the DCs are up to date).   Therefore I believe we have a cert / CA issue.
I don't believe the user amount is the cause of the current issue, it is a SSL connection issue with the Exchange Online Tenant, which is shown in the logs.
At this stage I'm not marking your answer as correct as I am looking for a solution to the SSL connection error.    In the event no one comes back with any information around how to resolve an SSL connection to the Exchange Online Tenant
/ How to force the Online tenant start a new connection with Essentials (e.g. On a cert level is my guess), I will then mark your answer as correct and move on.
I do agree that the user amount is not supported therefore will be going down the ADFS / DirSync route, but would like to resolve the Connection to the Exchange Online Tenant issue as it is clear that MS Support don't know how to, and may be helpful for
others in this situation
Thank you Cliff for your input to date.

Duplicate contacts after synching iPhone with Outlook

Iphone 4s deleted all my contacts after connecting to wifi.

I was playing a game on my iphone 4s and I decided to connect my phone to our wifi like I always do to save data. However, this time, it deleted all my contacts. I would really appreciate help with this problem. My phone has not been backed up yet, it is only a few weeks old. Is there any way to retrieve them?

Are you syncing contacts over the air with an Apple iCloud account or with another email account that supports the same?

Iphone 3G makes duplicate contact entries after syncing. I went from about 125 contacts to 1,965. Some contacts are duplicated 30 times! I tried deleting the info and resyncing it. Same problem. Not using mobile me. Syncing with google account.

Duplicate entries after syncing. My phone went from about 125 contacts to 1,965. Some contacts are duplicated 30 times! Tried deleting the contacts and resyncing- same thing. I don't use Mobile me. My contacts are synced through my google account. I tried syncing through outlook and there were 0 contacts on my phone. Its a 3G so some of the functions like making groups are not available. Please HELP!!!

and i guess i should mention i bought it at best buy and they ported my phone #'s from my google phone and when i got home i sync'ed it with itunes and it doubled my contacts.

Nokia C7 Duplicate Contacts after synchronizing wi...

I recently, synchronized my contacts with Ovi sync, which was aborted in the middle due to a technical Connectivity Problem. After that I again synched after about an hour.This time the Sync was successful. But to my annoyance I found that more than 1500 records got duplicated in my mobile and now I have this unpleasant task of removing each of these duplicate contacts manually or merge them. Is there a way to do a mass merge of duplicate contacts at one go...
But I must say Nokia's OVi is a big Pain to use as there is always some technical or software issue or the other.
Bottom Line - Nokia's smart phones are not smart enough and their support services (online and Nokia care centers ) are nothing but a place where you could only do your software re-installation. Period. These guys do not know to handle specific software/hardware issues. All they know is re-install the software or re-start the phone. I think I was smarter when I had an ordinary Nokia N70....the biggest mistake I did was to select a nokia Smart Phone.

Try to use http://www.bloove.com to find and mass remove duplicate contacts via convinent web interface.

Icloud sync created duplicate contacts...can't get rid of them

Ever since I began syncing my iPhone via iCloud, multiple entries have popped up in my Contacts. In some cases I'll have 4 or 5 duplicate Contacts when I started with just one. I tried deleting them manually (which took forever) but they just come back.
I tried shutting off iCloud sync and doing it the old way, but I realized that many contacts were missing. (i.e. I must have deleted them from locations other than iCloud, and that's the only place where they reside now.)
I feel stuck. This is very frustrating. iCloud was supposed to make my life easier and it's screwing things up. Any suggestions?
PS - I have an iMac running OS X 10.8.4 and an iPhone 5.

My Contacts Backup Pro has a 4+ rating, but it's up to you if you want to try it or not. If you haven't done so already, you might want to take a look at Apple's KB article on duplicate iCloud contacts: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4147. It's not a very common problem, and can be caused by things like attempting to sync contacts with both iCloud and iTunes.
If you have cleaned up your contacts only to see duplicates reappear on their own, you might need to get iCloud support to help you with this one as it's a rare problem. Then may need to have a senior engineer take a look at your account to determine what's causing it.
