Microsoft Exchange ipad and OSX

Why is it that you can setup an exchange account on the iPad with the greatest of ease, but you cannot do it on OSX. even the new outlook is difficult. Anyway, I'm curious why it is easy on iPad/iTouch but next to impossible on OSX?
thanks

iOS can use ActiveSync to connect to an Exchange server, whereas Mac OS X Mail (reportedly due to licensing issues) cannot and so has to use IMAP to connect to Exchange 2003. Exchange 2007 servers support Exchange Web Services (EWS) which Mail can use for an easier, more complete and robust, connection.
Regards.

HT204150 I am currently switching microsoft exchange emails and want to keep my contacts

I am currently switching microsoft exchange emails and want to keep the contacts associated with the old email address. It seems though that they are backed up to my former employer's server/cloud. How can I keep the contacts on my phone but switch emails?

Choose Consolidate Library from the Advanced menu or the Library section of the File menu in iTunes, find the iTunes library location from the iTunes preferences, and move the song files inside to the new computer.

Microsoft Exchange server and Mailbox box prompt after migration

We are getting prompted to click OK when we open Outlook on the Microsoft Exchange server and Mailbox dialog box.
We just migrated from 2007 exchange to 2013 exchange and the people with windows 7 seem to be able to access exchange through outlook 2010 without getting prompted. Also people who are getting prompted are not able to access public folders and our
XP. Those using windows 7 can access public folders.

Hi,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following thing:
Windows XP does not like msstd:*.domain and must use msstd:server.domain instead.
So I recommend you set this by updating the CertificateName via EMS.
1. If you use a wildcard certificate, please run the following cmdlet:
Set-OutlookProvider EXPR –CertPrincipalName msstd:*.contoso.com
2. If not please run the Set-OutlookProvider EXPR –CertPrincipalName msstd:$null cmdlet. Once done, repair Outlook profiles and check results.
Besides, when there is a Windows XP user, we recommend SAN certificate not wildcard certificate.
Hope my clarification is helpful.
If there are any problems, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,

HT3748 Problems with Microsoft Exchange 2003 and setting up mail on my Mac OS X

My Microsoft Exchange Server is 2003 and although I can set up email on iPhone and iPad, I cannot set it up on my MacBook Pro. It won't accept my password - says it is not correct.

How to set up Outlook.com with IMAP
Outlook.com or Hotmail.com IMAP setup
Getting Hotmail IMAP to Work on a Mac

I had microsoft exchange added and when I synced I lost all of my prior contacts. Also, thenames all turned to numbers. Example when you get a text from a contact, their name appeared. Now just a phone number. What did I do wrong and can I get it back?

Since adding microsoft exchange I sunced my phone and lost all of my old contact, notes. etc. Also, when I do get a text message it appears as a number instead of a name. What did I do wrong and can I get my old info restored. When I tried restoring it only gave me the same thing.

That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation. A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number. I suggest you turn iMessage off. In settings/phone turn on dial assist. Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage. Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

Microsoft Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2013

My colleagues computer suddenly crashed yesterday and it wouldn't restart without a system restore.
Now when we try to open up Outlook it says that you must connect to Microsoft Exchange at least once before you can usse your Outlook Data file (.ost)
Also The PC has lost the trust relationship on the domain
We have exchange 2010 and the servers OS is Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2011 and the Client PC is running off of Windows 8.
Can you please help me resolve this issue?
kind regards

It might be possible that the MAPI key (which enables Outlook to synchronize with Exchange) has been deleted due to the System crash. So, in order to establish the connection, you need to Reconnect the OST file to the original MAPI profile and then reconnect
then MAPI profile to Exchange Server.
If the above method fails to resolve the issue, then the best option for you would be to take the help of any professional OST to PST Conversion Software, which will help you to Extract data from your OST file and convert it to PST file which you can import
back to your Outlook to establish the connection with Exchange Server again.

How do I restore Notes through iTunes without interfering with Microsoft Exchange Calendar and email

I recently added a Microsoft Exchange account to my iPhone and had to stop syncing my Calendar and Mail Accounts through iTunes because it was creating duplicate entries. When I made those changes, I lost all of my Notes on my iPhone. I backed up my phone after adding the Microsoft Exchange account, but am afraid to restore the backup (to restore the Notes) because I don't want to restore the pre-Exchange Calendar and Mail Account settings or entries. If I select "restore backup", will it restore my Notes without interfering with my Calendar and Mail Account settings or entries? Also, I don't know when the Notes disappeared from my iPhone, so it's possible that I synced through iTunes after I added the Exchange account, which probably means that the Notes I am trying to restore are in a prior backup, not the most recent backup. Can you help?
Thank you.

move your existing me account to be a icloud account via www.icloud.com.
icloud works only with @me.com .

Microsoft Exchange, crashes and battery drain

I have had a persistent problem with two iPhones, one that has taken me months to identify. At first, I thought my 1st gen iPhone was the problem - I suspected bad memory. But when the problem repeated itself on a new iPhone 3GS that I bought, I knew the cause was something different.
I have reset my new iPhone about 25 times to factory settings. I have tested apps one at a time. I tried re-installing each of my apps in iTunes on my Mac, restarting each time to make sure the old version was purged. I have made countless trips to the Genius Bar. Slowly, I tracked the problems down to the Microsoft Exchange email account I must use.
Symptoms: frequent app and OS crashes. Rapidly draining battery, often in an hour from full charge. When plugged in to iTunes, it spontaneously syncs repeatedly and rapidly. The crash log is impossible to trace as a result. This usually happens about a week or so after rebuilding and resetting my iPhone. Often, I noted that when looking at my email, that I see the spinning circle of death.
The first thing I did was to stop pushing email, and setting email to manual fetch. That seems to have minimized my problem. But to my dismay, it still returns.
I am beginning to wonder if the idiots at my corporation's ISP (we use Exchange Server 2003) have not set things up correctly on their server, and that it is corrupting my iPhone OS. If anyone has ideas on this, please do share them with me. I am very tired of losing all my data again and again, and wasting time resetting my phone. I cannot tell you how careful I have been, how much I have tried to solve this problem, and the hours of time wasted in doing so. I think the iPhone is a wonderful device. But I am tired of having to be plugged into anything Microsoft.
Please do share any ideas that you have. Thanks!

I solved my problem! After three frustrating months of crashes, rapid battery drains (often less than an hour from full charge) and after upgrading from an iPhone 2G to a 3GS (in which the problems persisted), I finally found the source of my nightmare: my company's Microsoft Exchange Server (Exchange 2003).
It was a problem that vexed even the brightest minds at Genius Bars at four different local Apple Stores. At first, we thought the issue could be a memory addressing error on my original iPhone 2G. But when I moved up to an iPhone 3GS and the problems continued, I realized this was not the problem. I then tediously factory re-set my iPhone each time, and installed one app at a time to isolate and test the problem. (I have 90 apps. Go figure.) I ran in basic factory mode for two weeks, and only then did my iPhone work correctly. Then, not adding any apps, I set up my Microsoft Exchange account for the umpteenth time. Shortly afterward, all **** broke loose, with the iPhone crashing in rapid succession and the battery draining. Also, when attempting to sync with iTunes, the sync would stop, arbitrarily re-start, and re-start again. And again. And again. In the process, any data on my iPhone would get hosed.
Once I discovered the source of the problem, I conferred with my company's IT guy, who in turn groveled to my company's ISP, which hosts the Exchange Server. In a few minutes (and probably a couple of clicks back at the ISP), my problem went away as suddenly as it began.
So, if you use Microsoft Exchange with your iPhone, and out of the blue, your iPhone goes bonkers, talk to your company's IT guy immediately. I hope this will help you!
I'll try to get specifics of the setting changes made by my ISP to fix this nightmare.
I am using iOS 4 and loving life. I also applied the recent configuration update for Exchange Server and iOS 4, which immediately fixed my problems downloading Microsoft Outlook calendar items. If you have this problem when syncing with iOS 4 and Exchange, see the following:

I hope this helps! Thanks, Apple!

LDAP iPhone 3.1.3, iPad and OSX Server 10.6

Hello
First of all, sorry for my English.
I have new a Mac Mini Server. With my MBP I can connect to the server, iCal and Addresses syncs fine between Server and MBP.
Now I try for a long time, iPhone and iPad to connect with the server. With both, iCal works fine. Unfortunately with both Devices I can't sync Addresses.
Have somebody a suggestion to me what is wrong in my settings?
Thanks a lot for helping.

Well,
Not exactly true. Right now - yes there is no sync between address book and OSX Server, however, since you have a 10.6.X server CardDAV is a function that is supported.
iOS 4.0 (which is due for the iPhone in a week or so) does have built in support for CardDAV accounts.
I can't comment on its ability to do so as I haven't had the time to play with it since I received my 4.0 GM on Tuesday morning, but there are a few people reporting success.
So, wait a week or so - you'll get your CardDAV address book to work with your iPhone.
NOW IF APPLE WILL ONLY GIVE US NATIVE PUSH SUPPORT FOR EMAIL FROM OSX TO THE IPHONE...
**** What a glaring oversight....
(Stepping off soapbox now...)

Mail with Microsoft exchanger servers and encryption

My campus is requiring certain e-mails to be encrypted. When I am on the Windows machines using outlook, there is a simple option to do this. But most of my time I am working on my Mac, thank goodness, and I would like to know if there is a setting somewhere that permits encryption of selected e-mails in a way compatible with the exchange server?
So far tech support has not gotten back to me yet, and searches of this subforum with 'encrypt + exchange + server' just bring up posts about using Mail with an Exchange server, and no 'encrypt'.

I am new as well. I am now getting mail from exchange, but it doesn't seem to want to use exchange as the outgoing mail server.
Also is there anything else that needs to be done in order to sync with my exchange calendar and contacts?

HT5887 Airdrop, iPad and OSX

Does anyone know why on earth have Apple made it so that airdrop cannot be used to move files between iOS and OSX devices? That's pretty much the only thing I want to do with it! Are they going to fix this glaring omission at some point?

You will have to check with Apple.

Microsoft Exchange Subfolders and Synchronization

Hello. I have been "suffering" with my BB9900 for the past year with 3rd party software because after switching to BB from an iPhone with ActiveSync i found out after that my 9900 was not capable of synchronizing subfolders from my Outlook.
Meaning: if I had an email on my BB and I dragged it into a folder called "other" it would also move on Outlook. But: if you have a message on Outlook (on my desktop) and I dragged it into a folder called "other" it wouldn't mirror this on my BB. I did a lot of research on this and the only workaround was going with a 3rd party software that used Activesync over my internet connection and bypassing BES. This made my phone extremely slow and would lock up at times if the 3rd party software decided it was going to "verify" its database...
With the Z10, can anyone out there confirm that BB's new Activesync works as advertised and truly mirrors the server on Exchange? I want to confirm this before purchasing the Z.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply Wongga.
Yes all subfolders will be synchronized in both directions. You have the option to add/remove synchronization of folders in the Email Account settings on the BlackBerry Z10.
If you move email messages to different folders it will show in Microsoft Outlook and vice versa.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Microsoft exchange (hotmail) and Iphone4 problem

Hi,
I've iphone 4. Was using MS exchange to get hotmail.
Over last 3 days it's not working. I've not installed any new software/apps on the phone in this time. I get the error:
"Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed"
I've reset factory settings.
Installed iOS5.0.1.
Rechecked hotmail settings.
Wifi / 3G working fine.
Can anyone suggest what to try next?
Thanks for any help.

It's not just hotmail, it's anything based on ActiveSync.
I had a 3GS up till yesterday but for some reason the battery just went insane, started burning up and using all it's charge in about 2 hours.
I thought it might be due to a bad update to iOS5 and then 5.0.1 so I started looking at peoples posts which suggested removing email accounts.
I removed my Hotmail account and tried to re-add it. It verified ok, but would not appear on the mail accounts list at all.
I binned my 3GS and upgraded to a 4S. Restored from iCloud and had the exact same issue. Can't re-add my hotmail account.
I also have 2 Exchange tenancies on Office 365, a work one and a personal one. They were both restored as part of the iCloud restore, but won't connect either. I removed the accounts and tried re-adding. They appear in the list, but when I try and sync nothing happens. No folders or mail will appear, they both just have Inbox as a default folder.
This all started happening a few days ago for me.
When I check my Exchange server it tells me the devices have been blocked, but there is no visible reason why (especially as they're both using the default policy with minimum security and allow non-provisionable devices).
I added a GMail account and it works perfectly, so not sure if Microsoft has changed something in all of their infrastructure (I don't know if Hotmail is actually based on the Exchange code itself, but I know you can try and connect using ActiveSync rather than the new Hotmail mailbox type, but it doesn't work either way), so not sure where the blame lies here.
Tried logging calls with Microsoft and Apple and getting no where fast!!

IPad and osx comparability

Love my iPad
Loosing my love for apple.
Before purchasing iTunes updated so it was compatible with iPad
What happened - come to synch and needs osx5
I am running 4
Apple now only selling snow leopard. Choice only appears to be second hand copy on eBay.
Why doesn't apple sell (or even give away) old software like osx 5?
Why is not compatible with 4?
Come on apple - loyal advocates like myself are being badly treated I feel!

You are just talking to other users like yourself here, not Apple, and none of us know the answers to your questions. Apple did publish iPad system requirements Jan. 27, 2 months before release, so customers could consider that before purchasing.
Here is where to give Apple your views on all that:

Microsoft Office '04 and OSX 10.5 Leopard?

anyone know if Microsoft office '04 will work out of the box with leopard? thanks.

Since speculation of products that aren't released (Leopard) isn't permitted no one can say for sure. My gut feeling is I don't see why not. Of course it'll run through Rosetta and the performance might not be that of a similar PPC configuration but if you're running Microsoft Office "04 now on your MacBook and find it acceptable I don't know of any compelling reason that it won't work in Leopard. But again nothing at this point is assured.
