Mavericks: Unable to edit Contacts

I am using iCloud syncing and able to edit contacts in iOS.
Unable to do any sort of edits on my Contacts and have been unable to find the AddressBook folder to verify file permissions.
What would be the best way to resolve?
thanks.

First, make sure all of your contacts are in the iCloud web page.
Second, export your contacts to an Contacts Archive using the command in the File menu, Export > Contacts Archive.
If you have ON MY MAC contacts, select them all and File > Export > Export vCard
Close Contacts. If they are in several Groups, export each group individually so you can restore the groups easily.
Uncheck Contacts from iCloud system preferences. Have it delete the contacts on your Mac.
The AddressBook folder is in your user/Library/Application Support folder.
To get there, hold down the Option key and select Library from the Go menu in Finder.
Browse to the AddressBook folder and delete everything in it.
Re-enable Contacts in the iCloud System Preferences.
Open Contacts and test.
If you need to restore ON MY MAC contacts, recreate all of your groups and go to Contacts Preferences and set the Default Account to ON MY MAC. Then, double-click each group vCard to import them. You'll have a Last Import Smart Group which will contain all the contacts you just imported. Select all and drag them into the original Group.

User unable to edit contacts

I have a user with Outlook 2013 connected to an 2010 Exchange Server. I have a user that is unable to edit any existing contact, getting an error: Your changes cannot be saved because you don't have permission to modify some or all of the items in this folder.
Do you want to save a copy of this item in the default folder for the item?
I have checked the permissions on the mailbox folder as well as the Contacts folder. The user has "Owner" permission to these folders.
No other users report the problem, and loading the users account on another computer demonstrates the same problem.
Any ideas what I am missing?

Hi,
The error indicates that the issue is related to permission. I recommend you use the Get-MailboxPermission -Identity xxx |fl cmdlet to check if the permission is right. What's more, please check if OWA has the same issue.
If the issue persists, I recommend you remove the owner permission at first. Secondly, use the following cmdlet to add the owner permission and check the result.
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity "xxx" -Owner "xxx"
Hope it helps.
Best regards,
Amy

Unable to edit contact

Unable to edit contacts

After updating to iOS4, I am not able to edit the contacts in my iPhone 3GS. The edit button is missing.
However, in messages app, when i am trying to send a message, I am able to get the contacts stored and I am even able to edit them from there.
I have not seen this problem reported by anyone else here. Can someone help me with this?

I was having the same problem - no way to edit contacts but it seems to be resolved now. I have been using gmail set up as an exchange account to sync calendar entries for some time. Yesterday I also enabled contact sync for this account to try to keep my contacts more in sync by using google's push capability.
This afternoon I decided to turn it back off as I decided I don't like the way phone number "types" are mapped in the sync process and installed the "soocial" app for contact syncing and it is working better for me. I synced soocial with gmail and then synced my iphone to soocial which did a reload of all my contacts. This is when the "missing" + and edit buttons problem appeared.
I tried powering down the phone and restarting (which has cured several other unexplained iOS4 glitches) but no change. I tried getting to contacts by launching the contacts app and through the phone and messaging apps but could not find any way to get the edit function back.
Finally in frustration I decided to turn the google sysnc function for contacts back on. When I went beck into contacts and selected the 'All on My iPhone' group my contacts were all there and the edit functions had all reappeared.
I went back to settings and disabled the google contacts again (selecting 'delete google contacts from my phone') and everything still works.
Can't explain why this worked but it did.

Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
From the application's menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Boot in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

Unable to sync contact details iTunes Mavericks

Unable to sync contact details, e-mailaccounts via iTunes to iPad on Mavericks.
The button Info seem to be disappear.
Why?
Not every body love to sync via iCloud!
To sync via iTunes is very very usable.
On windows computer the button Info is stlll present.

To be more clear, you cannot sync contacts using iTunes because Sync Services has been removed from Mavericks.
So 10 point voor me myself.
You can give yourself a Solved but you do not get points for your own replies.
I knew that, I can read.
[quote]OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later do not use SyncServices. Instead, Mavericks supports sharing your information using several network-based and cloud-based solutions. If you want to sync your information across multiple devices and computers, you should use one or more of these methods. These include iCloud, CardDAV servers, CalDAV servers, and servers that utilize the Exchange ActiveSync protocol.[/quote]
I post my question on 18/11 and no answer.
And I just found 23/11 the answer via Google.

I had a similar problem. I was supposed to join a meeting using Skype, but missed it because of Skype problems. I was online and so was the other party, but we could not connect. I got messages about missed calls, but I never got the actual calls. I tried calling them, but that didn't work either. Other contacts were able to reach me, but for some reason this particular contact wasn't. I tried restarting but that did not help. I'm not sure if the other party restarted Skype, I could ask that next time.

Unable to edit the forms in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and adobe pdf reader.

Hai ,
i am unable to edit pdf forms . on clicking on the form text field error message comes as "font capture" message heading and content as
"C:\Windows\system32/ATMLIB.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."
if pressed ok . aplication get closed
i reinstalled all aplication with old versions but sill have the same error .please give a solution . thank you.

thank you for the suggestion, but I do not have a "Send Email" or "Submit" button available in my version. I have "Attach to email" option which automatically opens a new message in MS outlook (which I did not set up, it just started doing so automatically) without any further dialogue boxes or options.
Also, this is only for regular PDF files, not forms.

Unable to edit Hosts file in Win7 Home Prem 64bit.

Clean install. Administrator account. Unable to edit the permissions of the hosts file. There is one in the drivers\etc file, which I cannot edit. There is supposed to be one in %systemroot% \SysWOW64\drivers\etc but there is no etc folder in the drivers folder.
Turned off DNS Server. gpedit.msc not found when calling it in "run". This is the first time I've used 64bit anything, so a bit of a newb in that respect.
Any ideas?

Hi,
As you would know, some of the Windows 7 users can’t save the host file how they like it. The host file itself will simply vanish what the user had done with it.
In my scenario, I was unable to fix this even after all the instructions provided in above posts. Hence, I have come up with my own idea and luckily it
worked.<o:p></o:p>
For those users who experience this problem, here are the instructions to fix it.
First of all, you should have the administrative privileges to edit the host file. In normal case, if an admin user directly go to the host file in system 32 and add his preferences
and then save it, it should keep the changes. However, in some wicked scenarios, it will not. I had done a detailed research on this through all the available online forums and even contacted Microsoft several times with no luck.
So, here you go with a correct solution for this problem.
Note: If you are not comfortable with Windows OS and don’t know what you are doing, this process can mess up things.
Hence, do not attempt if you are not 100% sure you can make it.
Login to an administrator account.
In the run command (Windows key + R) type, “control folders” and hit enter.
Click on the tab called view.
Select the radio button for Show hidden files, folders and drivers –ON.
Uncheck the ‘Hide extension for known file types-ON
Click on Apply and then OK.
Type “drivers” in run command and hit enter. It will take you to where the folder “drivers” located in System 32.
From the “drivers” folder, double click the folder named “etc.”
Now you can see the “host” file along with others.
Now, in the search area in start menu, type “notepad.exe” and open the notepad.exe as administrator. (In order to do this, you can right click on the notepad.exe shown and select
“Run as Administrator.” If UAC prompted, click YES/OK)
Now, you will have a notepad open with administrative privileges.
At the top left side of the notepad click on “file” and then select “Open.”
A box will appear which will allow you select the file to open. Carefully, navigate to the location where the “host” file is located. To do that, select the drive where you
installed Windows. If you have the Windows installed in C: select ‘Local Disk (C :)’ > Windows > System 32 > drivers > etc. At this point, you might not have another option to proceed or select from. The window would be empty. To proceed further,
select the option “All files” from the drop down menu which is located above the “Open” and “Cancel” button. You can now see all the files located in etc folder.
Select “hosts” from the menu and click on “Open.” Note: You can either click on open or double click on the file.
Now, you will have the host file information open in the notepad which you had already initiated before with administrative privileges.
Make whatever changes you as you wish. (Example: If you need to block a web site called
www.block123.com you can type 127.0.0.1
www.block123.com right under the local hosts.
Make sure you do not change any other letters or characters which are already saved in host file.
This will completely mess up your computer. For more information on the information about host file, refer the Microsoft web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034 . If you
have accidently delete/edit anything from host file, please delete the complete information stored in host file and copy and paste the host file information from Microsoft which is appropriate for your Operating System.)
Click on “file” again and select “Save as” and save it in etc. If the path is showing correct to etc folder, save it to etc. If it is navigated to somewhere else, follow the
instructions provided above and select etc folder and then save it.
Now, go back to the actual host file location which is in System32 > Drivers > etc (You would have it already open if you had followed the instructions just like the way
I have provided)
There you can see 2 host files. One which has already been there and the other one you just saved.
Among the two, one is called “hosts” and the ‘type’ would be ‘file.’ This is the original host file. The other which you have just saved will be named as “hosts.txt” with the
file type as ‘Text Document.’
Right click on the original host file and select rename. You can even click on that file and press F2. This will enable the option to rename the file. Rename the original host
file as “hostold” and hit enter.
Now, select the second host file which we have saved as a text document and rename it as “hosts.” Make sure that you DELETE the .txt file extension in order to change the type
“Text Document” to “File” and hit enter.
Now, you have successfully saved the host file with your preferences.
You can now delete the file which we renamed as “hostold.”
We are done. You would need to do this process all over if you need to edit the host file again. I know it is difficult, however, it is our own requirement and we have to invest
few minutes on this.
Enjoy your computer with a great feeling that you have finally edited the host file as per your wish and take it from here. Wish you luck.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
