Lync 2013 and Office 365 - Desktop Client not showing contact pictures but online and mobile does.

Hello
I have gone so far of opening a support call with Microsoft but they don't know how to fix the problem also so I was wondering if anybody has a fix for me.
We have only about 25 users using Office 365 Mid Size Business - We don't have the AD Intergrated yet - that will be at a later date. So I am not doing any of this thumb photos in AD which I have read about.
So about 15-16 of the machines work fine, We have the Desktop Office 2013 installed , and in Lync everybody can see everybody's contact photo.
We have the rest which works perfect apart from showing the contact photo's - All settings are the same - When these users use the Online Web Lync or iPAD Lync, all photos are displayed....it is just on the desktop.
Like I said Microsoft spent an hour on a workstation and don't know what the fix is - we did all the deletion of the SIP Dir in the c:\users\username\appdata\microsoft\office\15.0\lync - For me , I don't see this as a game changer since all aspects of Lync
work for IM, Conference, Presentation - however I am guessing some of my users want to stare at pictures all day :-)
I would like to know am I the only person getting this?

Hi Andy,

Desktop icons not showing up for T60's and T61's

We are having an issue with nearly half (we have a few hundred at out company) of our T60’s and T61’s where they do not show the desktop icons at boot up. If they start the task manager and run explorer then everything pops up like normal. But they will have to repeat this process every time they boot up. We also tried having them turn off the wireless radio via the slider switch but that did not help.
One fix we found was to go C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data and copy the IconCache.db found there over the users IconCache. This fixes the issue for 99% of the people who have this problem, but there are a few that continue to boot up to no desktop items.
The only other fix we have found was to put explorer.exe in the start up folder. This brings up a pop up of their My Documents at start up that they have to close but is much easier than going through the task manager to run explorer.
We also have many T43’s and many Lenovo desktops from M-81, M-82, and M-88’s. none of the desktops show this problem and we have not had this issue with any of the 43’s.
The software packages are essentially the same for all of our systems. The only difference being is that the desktops do not have VPN.
Windows XP sp2
MS Office 2003 standard
IE 6
Adobe Reader 8.1
Lotus Notes 8.1
Sametime 8.0
Cisco VPN 4.6
RealVNC 4
Symantec Antivirus 10.1.5
We run all MS updates and keep the laptops fully patched with Lenovo updates, the only updates we do not use is the ThinkVantage access connections. We install all other system updates in the critical and recommended section.

Good news: I found a solution. Kind of bad news: it's an extremely awkward behaviour –*but at least it works.
Start iTunes, remove all your voice memos from your library (back them up if you need them), quit iTunes. Restart Finder. Done. I hope that helps!

My Office 365 minutes are not showing up

I have the same problem. I signed up for Microsoft 365 that should come with 60 fee minutes per month. I am running the most recent Windows and Skype versions, and I am logged in with my Microsoft account. But the minutes aren't showing up. How can I access them?

My phone does not show contact names for country and area code while having in coming calls. Although, I have endorsed the name with numbers. How do I the problem. My one is a iphone 3s device with updated os. Please text to help

My iphone does not recognize saved contact number while having incoming calls due to country and area code as auto prefix. How do i fix the problem. How do i ensure that the phone recognize calls with and without the country and area code. Please text to help.

1) Open the Phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
2) When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
3) Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating something like, "Settings updated."
4) Open the Task Manager and kill the Phone, Message, and Contacts Applications
5) Wait a few minutes (I waited 3 just to be extra safe)
6) Open the Message App to verify the fix

Ipad not showing in iTunes but recognizes and synchs

Hi all:
Ok so here is my situation. i decided today to get my house in order and prepare for icloud.
I have 2 4th generation Ipod Touches
and an Ipad2 and
an Ipod classic.
Until about 2 months ago, I had my backups in itunes on a Windows 7 machine. My music and other media were on a networked external hard drive for home sharing.When the Sony Vaio failed, I got a Mac Book Pro.(tired of spending good money on devices which dont last a year!!)
I am now running OSX10.7.1, with Itunes 10.4.1. I was able to connect and synch up media to the ipod classic a couple of months ago, with no problems.
My issue today is that when I connect the Ipad, or the Touches, they are recognized in iTunes and I get the message that they are already synch'd with another computer (the vaio that died) and that inorder to proceed itunes needs to erase and install items from this new computer and library. No problem with that. Except that the device isn't listed in the left had side of the screen like it used to.
In the case of the Ipad which was the first I connected,I ended up downloading all the apps on to Itunes so I could start over and select them for installation. BUT... after it was taking a long time and i checked iTunes, i noticed that the device was not listed under devices on the left side of iTunes. But there was a synch in progress and my entire itunes library of songs got installed on the ipad. I need to be able to pick and choose like before. I had some music on the ipad, but not my entire library.
In the case of the Ipod Touches, they were also recognized and not listed under devices and I was able to update the system software on them to the latest. but I stopped short of synching for obvious reasons. Under device preferences I see backups for the Ipad and the Touches that were done today. But I dont know if I trust them.
I canot find threads out here specifically for this issue. Seems like most of the time the device isnt recognozed at all. In my case Itunes sees it and updates it, but i cant see the device and manage what goes on it. This is especially essential for the ipod touches which are for my children. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Outlook 2013 with Office 365 and Google Apps Sync.

This is the scenario, hopefully somebody can give me some insight on how to resolve this.
Outlook 2013 with gapps. Both updated.
Outlook profile with an office 365 email account (which is as an exchange account) and google apps with our main account.
We installed an office 365 account since its the only way that several users can share and edit the same contacts on Outlook. They use almost all contact fields.
Gapps its the main email address and calendar. Shared calendars are deeply used too.
The problem is that when I edit a contact (the exchange account) I get an error -when- I edit the email field.
"The operation failed. The messaging interfaces returned an unknown error."
If I make a new Outlook profile with the exchange account and the gapps account via imap setup I get not errors BUT I loose calendars sync.
So I went back to the main profile and thought. <maybe both contacts engines are screwing Outlook.> So, since I don't care about gapps contacts anymore I disabled via:
Disable sync for individual products
https://support.google.com/a/answer/1041455?hl=en
And also disabled the dynamic Global Address (just in case).
But the same happens.
I tried with another box, with office 2010, updated it and made a new profile with the office 365 and gapps and the same history.
Finally I though about setting the office 365 account as imap but contacts are not downloaded.
So I'm between a rock and a hard place here.
I need to use office 365 account in the same profile as gapps account.

Hi,
What’s the file size of your Outlook data file? If your data file is over size, it may cause data file corruption.
Outlook data file corruption may cause this problem. Please try to run a repair of your Outlook data files to check the result:

Note: You may need to run Scanpst.exe for several times until there is no error.

What's the difference between SharePoint 2013 and Office 365 Team Sites?

Hi there,
What are the differences between SharePoint 2013 and Office 365 Team Sites?
If I would like to develop a professional corporate website with SharePoint technology (because the company allready uses Office 365), do you recommend using SharePoint 2013 (in the cloud) or Office 365 Team Sites? And why?
Thank you very much!

You cannot make SPO Team Sites anonymous-enabled, therefor they're a moot point for a public website.
While slightly out of date, take a look at this:

SP 2010 and Office 365 C2R owssupp.dll or interceptor.dll issues

Hello,
At my company we're having compatibility issues after upgrading our
Windows 7 SP1 64-bit NL-NL laptops
to Internet Explorer 11 and Office 365 ProPlus Click-to-Run
32-bit NL-NL.
Our
initial notebook configuration had Internet Explorer 9,
Office 2007 ProPlus and Lync Basic 2013 installed.
The upgrade path exists of deleting Office 2007 and Lync Basic 2013, installing the Office 365
Click-to-Run and letting Internet Explorer update via the Windows Updates
The issues we experience happen between our
SharePoint 2010 On Premise and the SharePoint Online environment.
While we had no issues before, now, when trying to edit a document on SharePoint 2010 On Premise
we get the message: "A Microsoft SharePoint Foundation compatible application could not be found to
edit the document"
Doing some digging around online a lot of topics point to the ‘owssupp.dll’ as a possible culprit
but to no avail we tried a number of suggested solutions, listed below. Some of these solutions might propably work for the Office 2013
MSI installation but none of them seem to apply to the Click-to-Run version.
- Repair Office (Fast and Online)
- Delete and reinstall Office
- Switch in IE between 32 and 64 bit mode but this is
not possible with Internet Explorer 11
- Tried the Microsoft Hotfix KB
2726997 but got the message that it
does not apply to our system.
- Check registry references if owssupp.dll points to Office 15
- Manually re-register owssupp.dll
- Replaced owssupp.dll by the Office 2007 version
- Checked if all SharePoint add-ons in Internet Explorer were enabled
-> 'Sharepoint OpenDocuments Class' refers to interceptor.dll
not owssupp.dll
- Check/Install “Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation Support”..
Click-to-Run doesn’t
have that option
- Create registry keys in:  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Components\55EAFA0B8A4403B428FDE038B252C621
What there should be: HKCR\Installer\Components\55EAFA0B8A4403B428FDE038B252C621\x86\1033
What should be added: HKCR\Installer\Components\55EAFA0B8A4403B428FDE038B252C621\x86\1043
But the 55EAFA0B8A4403B428FDE038B252C621-key
doesn't exist with the Click-to-Run version and manually creating it doesn’t help
- Put the site in the 'Intranet Zone'
- Put the site in the 'Trusted Sites' list (prodsharepoint.kindengezin.be)
         -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\ZoneMapKey                    -> *.kindengezin.be
(REG_SZ, Data: 1)
- Check if our SharePoint 2010 On Premis environment is completely up-to-date
- Create
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office 15\ and placed the owsupp.dll in it; in case SharePoint would be looking for it in the wrong place;        -> Keep in mind that the folder structure with Office
365 ProPlus Click-to-Run is different than the 'normal' Office 2013 as the owssupp.dll is now located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\owssupp.dll
- Checked if our Firewall settings are up to date (IP-ranges and other settings)
The test where I got it to
work, but is not a solution in my personal opinion is: Open the Lync Basic 2013 setup and only check
Support for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation
In your Programs and Features list you now have 2 entries: Microsoft Lync Basic 2013 Microsoft Office
365 ProPlus – nl-nl
I do not trust this “solution” as I do not know the future consequences of this “solution” in terms
of updates or functionality.

Anyone? Have OWSSUPP.DLL issues with Office15 and IE11 as well - can't get the "Connect to Outlook" menu option on SharePoint calendars to show.

Wbs modeler won't load visio 2013 pro/office 365

Hi,
I've installed WBS Modeler add-in onto my Win 7/Visio 2013 Pro/Office 365 laptop, but the Modeler won't load. When I start Visio and check the addins, the WBS Modeler shows up as an Inactive Application Add-In. When I check the COM add-ins, the
add-in shows up in the list, however the Load Behavior is: "Not loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in.". The location looks messed up too. It is: "C:Program Files (x86)\Visio Add-In for WBS Modeler\\WBSModeler.vsto|vstolocal".
I've uninstalled/reinstalled/repaired several times -- all with the same behavior.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Kevin McManus

Hi,
There is a similar issue, it says that we can use the 32-bit WBS modeler to run on PC. I faced the same issue using the 64 bit install, but the 32 bit version works well on 64 bit Visio
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-visio/does-visio-2013-have-a-wbs-modeler-add-in/bfa5a396-ad7d-4156-a2d4-c547002670d6
I reproduce on my PC, the 32-bit WBS modeler works normally on 64-bit Visio.
If there is anything I can do for you regarding this issue, feel free to post back.

Spinning rainbow wheel for long periods on File Open commands in Acrobat and Office 365 programs

Hardware & Software:
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2009)
77GB of free hard disk space
8GB RAM
Running OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10.2)
Over the last few days, when I try to execute a File Open command from Adobe Acrobat or Office 365 programs (even from an innocuous location such as Documents), I get the spinning rainbow wheel for long periods of time (10 seconds to minutes) before I am able to select a file to open. I copied messages from Console after a File Open command for each of Adobe Acrobat and Excel (the selected location was Documents), given below:

Can anyone give me an idea of what these messages mean and how I can solve this problem?
If I'm not in the correct Community for this question, could someone kindly tell me where I should re-post?
Thanks.
David Walker

Yes; I have previously connected to an iMac at this location using File Sharing. However, in my attempts to solve this problem last week, I had already unchecked File Sharing in System Preferences. Tonight, I also deleted the folder from the window in the File Sharing System Preferences page, then rebooted. The problem still persists.
I try not open files across a server line, i.e., I try always to copy a file to the local computer and open it there. I may have gotten careless and tried to open a file from the Windows server with either or both Acrobat and Office 365. Although this was an SMB share, is it possible that these programs are now trying to connect to the Windows server on a File Open?
I had about decided to quit chasing this problem; we spend about two weeks every two months at this Boston location, and I'll be returning to my Florida home this weekend. So I decided I would see what the situation was when I returned to my native habitat, although I may be chasing this problem again in our trip to the Boston area in April.
The other thing I wondered (I guess I can't quite let it go), is whether there is a command line in Terminal that would kill all AFP shares.
In any case, thanks for your help; you're very knowledgeable.

Can you merge two user accounts on macbook? my wife has created a user on her new macbook , then inadvertently created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st ac has her office 365 install, yet 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts.

Can you merge two user accounts on a macbook? my wife has created a new user on her new macbook air then, inadvertently, created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st a/c has her office 365 install, while 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts. What is the best way forward to get everything into the one account? Not sure if the office 365 will allow another installation into the second account, otherwise would just do that and delete the first, if that is possible?

There is no merge but you can move data from one account to another via the Shared folder. Data is copied from Shared. Watch your free space when copying. These are large files. Do one at a time if you are on a small drive. After making copy, delete from other users before you start next copy.
Office365 installs in the main Applications folder and is available for all users on the computer. Activation is tied to the drive not the User.

Affects when migrating from Office 2013 to Office 365

I currently have office 2013, with two email addresses being used in Outlook. I need to download Office 365 which I have already purchased. Will this have any affect on my two Outlook email addresses, and all the emails that are there?

Hi,
The activation and licensing are different between the Office 2013 and Office 365. We can't just
switch activated Office 2013 to Office 365. We can only uninstall Office 2013 and then install Office 365. In theory, we won't lose any emails in the email accounts configured in Office 2013. Just in case, we can back up your Outlook data files
of the two email accounts and then conduct the migration. To back up the data files, please refer:

Hope this helps.

Error in Dashboard "Your Office 365 password is not the same as your Windows password."

I have 4 users using Windows Server 2012 and Office 365 for email. All is going well, but I am now getting the error listed in the title.
When I first set this up, the passwords were the same, and integration worked very well. After the users changed their passwords on the domain, this error started to pop up.
Question: Is there a specific way the users have to change the password to have this sync continue? If they change the password by Ctrl+Alt+Del and choose change password, will this keep it in sync with Office 365?
Thank you for time and answers.

Hi,
àI have 4 users using Windows Server 2012 and Office 365 for email.
Did you mean that had enabled Integrate with Microsoft Office 365 service on the Windows Server 2012 Essentials?
Would you please let me confirm something more?
When changed password and synced to Office 365, there will spend some times. Please check if this error still pop up. Or had disappeared?
Please check if encounter issues when users logon client computer via the new password in the domain environment. Meanwhile, did there any issue occur when users use emails
or sign in office 365 by using the new password?
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Justin Gu
