OSX 10.8.2: cannot add a birthday to a contact with data on MS Exchange server

In "Contacts" (OSX 10.8.2) it is not possible to add a birthday to a contact when the data are stored on a MS Exchange server. This can be done from an iOS device (6.1.2). Why is this? The data field clearly exists in Exchange. A step backward?

For anyone viewing this thread, this issue is specific to "Contacts" in OSX 10.8.2 (now 10.8.3). One can still add a birthday to an Exchange database in "Address Book" in OSX 10.7.5 as suggested by Eric Root. It can also be done using an iOS device (iOS 6.1.3 in my case) and it will appear in "Contacts" in OSX 10.8.2 correctly as noted by Ralph Landry1. What I cannot understnad is why this functionality was taken away in OSX 10.8.2 when it existed in OSX 10.7.5. I have sent my comments to Apple as suggested by Ralph Landry1.

  • How do you add multiple birthdays to one contact

    I keep searching but it seems all the tips are old form previous versions or I am missing something.  I am currently using Mac OS X 10.7.3
    I am trying to add multiple birthdays in my Address Book under one person, thier family members and I want it to sync with iCal.  I also did not see the Anniversary option in Address Book
    Please help,
    Thank you,

    This has two parts. The second one, having the extra dates sync with iCal/Calendar, I don't (yet) know how.
    The first one, though, isn't so hard. Go to Addressbook/Contacts preferences. Under templates, click on "Add field" and select "dates."
    Now you can customize the template to default with "Anniversary" or whatever other nametag you'd like to give the date field or fields.
    I'd really like to hear how, if it's at all possible, even, to have those sync in iCal/Calendar.

  • Cannot add groups to Lync 2013 contact list

    Just recently we've had reports (and I can verify this myself) in the Lync 2013 client if you add a group to the contact list, it says "Cannot perform this action, and the cause is unknown.  Contact your support team to investigate this problem."
     There is no issue adding individual users to the lync contact list, just if you search for a group (for example, Accounting) and this group is an easy way to add lets say 5 accounting associates to lync instead of individually adding each person at a
    time.
    Any idea how to diagnose this?  In checking my Lync client version I get this:
    Microsoft Lync 2013 (15.0.4675.1000) MSO (15.0.465.1002) 32-bit
    Part of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013
    The server is Lync 2013 as well.
    Exchange 2013 is used on premise if that matters.

    Hi KJSTech1,
    To better understand the issue, I would like to collect the following information for troubleshooting:
    1. Group expansion is enabled and disabled by using the
    Set-CsWebServiceConfiguration cmdlet. Please make sure
    EnableGroupExpansion
    parameter is set to
    true .
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398396.aspx
    2. Can you run the command
    Test-CsGroupExpansion to test the ability of a user to employ group expansion ?

    Best regards,

  • I am trying to add photo's to my contacts on Icloud but keeping getting 'server error' when I try to upload them - anyone got any ideas?

    I have resized my photo's yet when I try to upload them on the the person's contact details it says 'server error cannot upload photo at this time'.
    Any help would appreciated!

    I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

  • Add a Partition to External HD with data

    Hello all,
    I'm trying to move my iTunes library from my external HD to my work PC(laptop). The library was on my MacBook Pro originally, however when I rec'd Snow Leopard I needed to back everything up on my external to wipe my laptop to do a fresh install. Stupidly, I formatted the external for Mac only (not Fat32) so it won't directly read on my PC to pull off my music. I'm wondering how I can go about adding a new partition to the external on my MacBook without losing the current data on it so I can format that partition for Fat32 to be able to use it for both laptops.
    Thank you,
    Jason

    It sounds like your drive has the Apple Partition Map scheme; MS-DOS (FAT) and ExFAT formats are not available on such disks. See #8 in that link.
    You'd have to copy everything somewhere, reformat it with the GUID Partition Map Scheme, and the formats you'd like. Those two can be read and written by Macs and PCs without 3rd party programs.
    There are some 3rd-party programs that will let PCs use Mac OS Extended partitions. I don't do Windoze myself, and don't recall the names offhand, but you should be able to find them via Google or the +Windows Compatibility+ forums here.

  • With OSX 10.8.5 cannot open PDF files with 11.0.04?

    using OSX 10.8.5 cannot open PDF files from Xerox Docushare with recently downloaded PDF 11.0.04

    That crash is a known bug in Apple's display code.
    But it's the QuickDraw code, which Apple does not want to fix.
    There is nothing we can do about that OS bug, other than to suggest using a more recent version of Photoshop written to the Cocoa APIs.

  • Exchange server cannot send outgoing email

    We are experiencing some issue with the outgoing email , we found out that some email cannot reach our client email. 
    if the customer is using exchange server, it seems there is no issue.
    However, if customers use other server.. like lotus or notes,,etc, there are issues.

    Can you send to a Gmail or Hotmail account?
    Otherwise, SMTP traffic to outside clients should not depend on any sort of password replication.
    Even if the partner was using something like mutual TLS (unlikely), that has to do with certificates, not passwords.
    One thing you could do is enable protocol logging on the Send Connector to see what happens when your Exchange server attempts to talk to the client's messaging system.
    Bharat Suneja (MVP) wrote an excellent article on how to enable this and where to find the resulting logs:
    http://exchangepedia.com/2007/05/exchange-server-2007-logging-smtp-protocol-activity.html
    Directions for 2010 and 2013 are included.
    Now, reading the log can be a challenge but if you need to get to the bottom of this, you may have to make this effort.

  • Cannot add a new email account, and hence icloud account. When i go into Settings - Mail, accounts, calendars,  the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud Settings ghosted (unclickable). Cannot change in itunes also.

    Cannot add a new email account, and hence i have no way of creating an iCloud account (very frustrating). I had the same problem with iOS 4.3 but i had no email account to create as i set both up when i bought the iPhone 4. After adding a company email and a gmail account (both wok perfectly) i noticed that the option to create more email accounts had been ghosted (unclickable). This didn't worry me at the time. However, iCloud needs me to create one in here so i can access the cloud which i desperately want the ability to do. When i go into Settings -> Mail, accounts, calendars,  the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud in the iPhone Settings ghosted (unclickable). I have same problem in itunes on Mac OSX. Surely restoring isn't the solution as i restored my iphone when changing from iOS 4.3 -> 5. Please help?

    Go to
    Settings,
    General,
    Restrictions, type in your Restriction Password,
    Accounts, tick Allow Changes.
    Press the back key a few times till you're back in Settings, you should see iCloud is now highlight able, now go to Mail Contacts and Calenders and add your email account as per norm.
    Hope this helps.

  • OSX 10.8.5 cannot detect LaserJet P2055DN (worked previously for several years, now won't)

    I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion) and a wireless network conencted through a D-Link DIR-655 router, which has the cable modem connected to the WAN port and the printer connected to a LAN port.
    I cannot add my HP Laserjet P2055DN as a printer, either wirelessly with the printer connected to the router, or directly to the MacBooks's ethernet port. There are no error messages: the printer just does not appear as a choice in system settings\print & scan.
    I deleted the printer and tried to restore it in the System Preferences, but it's not on the network. I have tried resetting the printer. I have reset both modem and router. I have powered everything up and down in various sequences. I ran network diagnostics. Nothing enables the printer to be detected.
    I have checked for a driver among the downloads available from HP, but the 2055DN support page links to Apple SU. I cannot download any newer drivers from Apple. Without seeing the printer on the network, I cannot choose the driver that's already installed.
    When I turn the printer on, there is the green light, and no error messages. I previously reset the printer to it's default configurations, but that knocked it off the network for our Windows 7 PC in our other office as well.
    How can I get the printer to show up on my network so I can choose it on the MacBook? Thank you.

    Hello ericinLA,
    To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the HP LaserJet P2055DN is a commercial product. You can do this at HP Enterprise Business Community.
    The support page for your product may be helpful in the meantime:

  • Can I add multiple birthdays?

    I'd like to add more than one birthday on a few of my address cards, so I can add them to a birthday calendar. I'd like to because many of my friends are married couple with kids, and I don't want to have a separate address card for each person just for their birthdays. Is there a way to do that? Right now there is only a red minus symbol to delete the b-day, but not a green plus symbol like there is for numbers and addresses.

    I've sent in my feedback in hopes Apple will add more date options in Address Book, and allow more flexiblity in adding them in iCal.
    One disappointment I have with the integration between Address Book and iCal is that important dates cannot be automatically entered in Address book and put in iCal as a new calendar. I realize after upgrading the 10.5 that you can now at least do one birthday calendar, but that is very limited.
    I would like to see a more natural contact format in Address Book that allows multiple dates to be entered under one contact, i.e. - a husband and wife with a couple kids being listed with all birthdays, anniversaries, or other important dates. I would also like iCal to be able to have automated calendars for those dates, or any date fields created. I think that alone would put the Address Book/iCal combo into a new, and very powerful position.
    Any plans for this?

  • ICal 3.0.6: all events gone, cannot add new events either, needs force quit

    Hello,
    I am experiencing the same behaviour seen by others on the list. It probably occured due to the OSX upgrade to 10.5.6. I hadn't used iCal much since Dec 10 or so and only noticed the anomalous behaviour yesterday.
    What I see:
    - iCal comes up but all previous events are no longer in it
    - The default Home and Work calendars are also gone
    - The left bottom section of iCal shows January 2001 and the forward/back buttons do not work in the this subwindow
    - I cannot add any new events
    - I can only close iCal by using force quit
    My events and calendars files are still available in the ~\Library\Calendars folder but I cannot import them into iCal. File->Import->Import an iCal file does not work (a finder like window does not appear to allow me to choose a file).
    I have tried the following:
    - moving com.apple.iCal.plist to the desktop and login/logout
    - moving Calendar Cache to the desktop and login/logout
    - login using another account and tried to use iCal. no go.
    I haven't tried to install an older version of iCal from the OSX DVD yet.
    Any ideas?

    I am having the same behavior. In the past with many major OSX upgrades this has happened and I had to get a previous copy from Time Machine. Right now my Time Machine copy is dead and I can't do it. I tried getting an older copy of iCal but it is exhibiting the same behavior!! I can't synch the calendar with my iPhone, either! No, I do not want to reinstall Leopard from scratch on this machine just to replace iCal - that is ABSURD!! This is the 3rd or 4th time this has happened. I don't have 4 - 6 hours of my time to fix this kind of problem every couple of months - not to mention several spare hard drives, etc.
    What is causing this problem, and how can we get iCal back??
    How about a simple iCal reinstall utility page on the Apple Web site if this is going to keep happening??

  • I cannot add an event on my iPhone or iPad calendars. The "plus" button, or add event button does not even appear when I open the app.

    I cannot add an event on my iPhone or iPad calendars. The "plus" button, or add event button does not even appear when I open the app.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly, that did not fix it. I changed the sync setting as you described, but I still don't get my older events. I have turned my IOS devices off and on again too. One more piece of information, the only events I see for October are recurring events. Either one day events like birthdays set to repeat every year, or events within the month that spanned more than one day. No one time events or appointments are showing.

    The Mac should not be connect to a guest network as this will not let the printer print to it.
    Here is a document to check the Network Settings. This will tell you if you are connected Wireless to the router. What is the Ip address?
