OS4.0: 2 Exchange accounts...very sluggish contacts search

I upgraded to OS4.0 on a 3GS in large part to get the ability to have more than one Exchange account. Now I have two sets of contacts on the device and the unit has slowed to a crawl when accessing them, sometimes crashing the search app and taking me back to the Home screen.
I suspect it is related to the fact that there is some overlap of contacts between the two accounts and the software is attempting to join them (unified contacts feature) and getting overloaded. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a solution other than waiting for an fix/bug update?

We have been battling this (along with the per missions issues) for months...
Here is some of what our Apple Rep told us:
Xsan runs on CFS (cluster file system), not HFS, which means AFP needs to do the conversion on the fly, which slows things down a lot. They improved this, apparently, in 10.4 server...
The other part of the equation is spotlight itself, if you are using 10.4 clients. We found that not only were the searches slow in and of themselves, but that any one user searching ground the server to a halt. This is apparently because Spotlight helps itself to all the bandwidth it sees, and when you search an Xsan volume, it sees the massive BW of the fiber connections, and takes it all...
We have tried some other search solutions, like quicksilver, to work around this, w/ inconsistent results. QS is great once you have indexed the volume, but that is a slow and bandwidth intensive act, and QS seems to ditch that index whenever you unmount the volume...
Don't even get me started on FCP's useless Find feature... A better solution is just to use locate, and point it at a directory. We have success finding file when we point it at a few levels above the file, and let it parse just those directories...

HT2480 set up gmail-exchange account to save contacts now what to do ???? years of contacts

set up gmail - exchange account to save contacts.....now what to do ..lost phone and no support between google and exchange ????

If contacts were synced with Gmail, they are in Gmail.
Gmail does not and has never synced directly to an Exchange server.

Accidentally deleted exchange account and lost contacts....please help

Hello all,
I have a unique problem and I'm worried that it may not be fixable but hopefully it is. Here is the long detailed explanation.
I was trying to start setup for an outlook account to sync my business emails to my phone (which I never got around to doing) I noticed that under mail/contacts etc. that there was an exchange account.....with it being early in the AM and still in bed I accidentally deleted it. I noticed immedietly after that my texts were coming in with numbers rather than contact names. I don't usually use the start mail (blue with white envelope) I had it archived away.....because I have the gmail app which was much more user friendly. Whoever set up the exchange account must have been at the verizon store when i bought the phone possibly. I did not do this myself. Anyways I have a few more problems that makes this issue worse....for some time now my iCloud has been saying it does not have the appropriate amount of storage......(And I assume is not backing up my contacts) I've never really had to use iCloud before so I think this may not help either. I looked on gmail and only certain contacts....older ones were on there. I went to a verizon store and he helped me re-add my exchange account which im assuming was through my gmail email (Only email I really use) and certain contacts seemed to pop up. After leaving the store I realized that a lot of the newer contacts I've added were still missing......I'm not sure what else I can do to recover these contacts if anything but I am now up for suggestion. This is basically where I'm at right now.....not totally missing everything but missing a good deal. Also would like to get my cloud up and running again so this doesn't happen again. I haven't hooked to iTunes yet but I never really did that regularly so that might not help either. Like I said I am up for any suggestion......maybe a way to look up my exchange account if by chance it wasn't under my gmail email account......Thanks in advance!

Want to delete Exchange account but keep contacts

I had an Exchange account setup on my iphone but I want to delete it now. Problem is, I have all my contacts in that Exchange account. When I try removing the account, it warns me that all contacts will be deleted. How do I save my contacts so they arent deleted?

If you have your contact information available with a supported application on computer for syncing contact information with your iPhone via the iTunes sync process such as with Outlook 2003 or 2007, you can transfer the contact information to your iPhone that way.
When you enable over the air syncing for contact information with an Exchange account or with a MobileMe account, existing contact information on your iPhone is erases and replaced with the contact information available on the server. When deleting such an account on your iPhone, all contact information that was transferred to your iPhone via the over the air sync process is also deleted.

Choose Exchange account when saving contacts

I have two exchange accounts on my iPhone, both with google Apps for business, but I cant't choose where to save a contact when I create a new one. Do you know if there is a direct way to choose the account when filling the new contact information?
Usually i have to disable the main gruop (Echange 1), then save the contact (automatically stored in Exchange no 2) and then enable again the main group... Not the ideal way...
I can't also find a way to move a contact from account no. 1 to account no. 2 directly from iPhone; do you know if there is a way?
Thanks

anyone?

Removing an exchange account without deleting contacts.

I just used the Contact Mover App to sync all my exchange contacts to iCloud. Can I now delete my exchange account on my iPhone and not lose any of the contacts that are now sharing both the iCloud and Exchange Account?
By removing the Exchange account will it just remove the link to the exchange off the contact and the "moved" contact will stay with iCloud.

If your exchange contacts appear on icloud.com you should be able to go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your exchange account, then either delete it or turn off contacts syncing and the exchange contacts will be removed from your phone, but not from iCloud.

How can you configure an Exchange Account in Mac OS X to use a SSL client certificate?

I'm trying to connect the Mail App of Mac OS X to my company's Exchange server. For security reasons you have provide a SSL client certificate to the server. You can convince Safari to use a client certificate by putting it into your keychain and configuring a suitable "identity preference" for the URL of the related site. But the Mail App seems not to use the keychain for this part of the SSL negotiations.
Since you can configure the client certificate usage for an Exchange Account for the iPhone with the Configuration Utility there should be a way for the desktop App, too. Has someone sorted this issue out already or does the Mail App actually lack of client certificate support?

I had a nice chat with the Apple end user support which revealed that this feature falls in the responsibility of the business support group. Since I have no appropriate support contract I could ask for help for about 480€ per issue -- nice try
After more research I found the Configuration Profile Reference, where you get information about Exchange accounts too. Starting with a working iOS-Profile I changed the Exchange account part according to this documentation for OS X. All you have to do is to replace PayloadType com.apple.eas.account by com.apple.ews.account.
After importing this profile I found the expected Exchange account within the Contacts.app. But the SSL client certificate was still not used and therefore my account not usable.
You could enable Mail, Calendar & Reminders and Notes within the System Preferences, but neither of these would work due to the missing client certificate support.
I came to the conclusion that the relevant applications in OS X have no proper SSL Client support build in. Since the underlying libraries and frameworks have everything in place that is really a shame.
Would be nice, if someone would enforce the developers to do their homework there.

Please i need help very urgent !!! after deleting my exchange account because the company changed the password , I lost 150 200 contacts and i need to get them back very soon ! please help

Please i need help very urgent !!! after deleting my exchange account because the company changed the password , I lost 150 200 contacts and i need to get them back very soon ! i never backed up on itunes ..please help

No. The contacts are "owned" by the Exchange server.
The Exchange server is owned by the company.
Everything on the Exchange server is owned by the company.
If you quit or were terminated, and your access to the system has been revoked, then there is nothing you and do at this point. Once you deleted the account from your phone, all of the associated data was deleted.
NEVER store personal information on company systems.

Is there a way of syncing local contacts only when outlook has an exchange account in the profile

I have Outlook 2010 set up with both a Pop3 account and a Microsoft Exchange account in the same profile. I have local contacts and Calendar entries in Outlook. The pop account is set up as the default account. When I sync Calendars and Contacts, then the exchange entries get transferred to the iPhone, even though the iPhone has the exchange account set up on it (and therefore I get the contacts and appointments over the air) but does not sync the local contacts and appointments.
If I split the accounts into two profiles and set the profile with the pop account as the default profile then I get the local contacts, but having to swap between profiles is a pain.
Can anybody help?

You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

Cannot send Mail from Search shortcut "email [name of contact]" with exchange account

i have a Q10 with an exchange Account configured. Mail works fine from the hub but when i use the search feature of the q10 by typing "email [name of contact]" the compser opens but i cannot send. the account field is empty and when i press send the button gets greyed out. the email is not sent.
the problem seems to be that the default-account setting is not recognised when you use the search-shortcut-feature of the q10. when i compose a mail from the hub the account-field is filled right.
same problem has a friend of mine from another company. he also uses a different excahnge server/account.
os-version: 10.1.0.238

Hi!
I've got the same problem. It's a quiet annoying bug.

Thank you,

Bad idea.
What information do you want to share, exactly? You can share contacts, reminders, and calendars with other iCloud users without the need for both of you to use the same iCloud account. You can authorize both phones to use apps purchased under the same Apple ID without sharing an iCloud account.
Sharing an iCloud account is a bad idea in general. There is too much opportunity for someone to damage or delete data that will affect both.

Strange contacts problem with Exchange account.

I have an Exchange account set up on both my iPad and iPhone wich work seemlesly when adding or editing contacts. The on-line app that Office Exchange provide also show all changes, which is great.
I've just set up a new (June 2013) Macbook Air and added the same Exchange account. Mail and Calendar work great, but the contacts don't show in my 'Contacts' app and I have no idea why.Just in case it's important, I noticed the iPad/iPhone server info has 'Domain' in it's settings suggesting it uses a web based sync(?). There isn't an option when setting up an Exchange account on the Macbook to enter that info in - it asks for Internal/External server paths. Would this be the problem, and if so, how do I set up my Exchange account to enter the same domain type info as my iPad/iPhone?
Many thanks in advance.
Paul

Sorry, but it is still not clear.
When restoring an iPhone with iTunes, the iPhone is completely erased first followed by the firmware being reinstalled. After the firmware is reinstalled, there are two options. Restore from the iPhone's backup which is selected by default, or as a new iPhone which must be manually selected.
Did you do the latter? If so, this is the first time I have seen this reported - that everything was erased from the iPhone except for a single email account.

I get the following message every time I open my contacts on my iphone or iPad : "Password Incorrect. Enter the password for the Exchange account "Exchange"". If I enter my password, it does not accept it. I don't even know what it means.

ITunes Says My Contacts Are Being Synced With Microsoft Exchange, But I Don't Have An Exchange Account

iTunes says my contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air, but I do not have an Exchange account, and I have disabled over the air syncing on both my iPhone 4, as well as in iTunes. How do I remedy this? I did a complete Restore on my phone to rectify this, but got the same results.
I have worked for a couple of hours now; at first, none of my contacts were syncing with Outlook, even though iTunes said they were. Then after checking and unchecking everything I could find relating to syncing, some of my contacts synced. Now I've managed to get them all synced, but still getting this message. I need to make sure that going forward, all changes and updates are correctly synced manually whenever I plug my phone into my computer. Any suggestions?

You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC. You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

Exchange account contacts

My mac connects to exchange server for mail and calendar, but when I open contacts it asks for the password for the exchange account, I enter the same password for the account but it says it cannot connect, can anyone help please ??

Thanks for the help. I Have contacted the administrator to get this confirmed. I think it is this as when I try to set up the exchange account the option for contact sync does not appear.
