Outlook 2010 - Contacts 'Show' category buttons not working?

I use the Business Card view for Contacts. When I double-click a Contact, Outlook should display that contacts' details. Instead it is displaying an email history from that contact. I have used the 'Activities' button to display activities related to that
contact , but now when I click on the General button to default back to the normal view it doesn't work? In fact, none of the buttons in the 'Show' category work (General, Details, etc.) It seems to be stuck on the 'Activities' button? I tried running a fix
on MS Office by running the fix program from Control Panel, Programs, Change, MS Office, Fix, but it didn't work. Can anyone help me?

Hi,
First, please try to start Outlook with /cleanviews switch to check if this problem was caused by corrupted view. To do this, press Windows key + R, type
outlook.exe /cleanviews in the Run command box and press Enter.
In addition, we can start Outlook in safe mode to check the result. Type
outlook.exe /safe in the Run box and press Enter. If the issue would be gone in safe mode, we can go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable suspicious add-ins to resolve the problem.
Please let me know the result.
Hope this helps.

Outlook 2010 "Send Plain text only" not working for individual contacts

We have a Outlook 2010/Exchange 2007 environment
If you go to Outlook Properties of a contact and change from "Let Outlook decide the best sending format" to "Send Plain text only", it is supposed to force Outlook to send a Plain text
email
to that contact.
But it is still sending HTML. This is happening with any contact I try this with.
While composing the email I can change it to Plain text manually and that works fine.
Not sure what gives...

Hi,
I recommend that you check the global remote domain setting if set to send plain text.
If not , the remote domain setting will override the change of the contact's properties when sending email out.
More details refer to the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232174(v=exchg.141).aspx
Remote domain settings Remote domains define the settings for outgoing message transfers between the Exchange 2010 organization and domains outside the Active Directory forest. Even if you don't create remote domain entries
for specific domains, there's a predefined remote domain named Default that applies to all remote address spaces (*).
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Outlook 2010 paste from other programs not working.

Hi,
Win 7 SP1 x86 w latest patches. Win lang. ENG
Outlook 2010 SP1 x86 w latest patches. Office lang. ENG
Regional (date/time and so on) settings EE (Estonia)
I have about 6 users with same conditions.
When I'm trying to copy - paste from other programs like IE9, Word, Excel I'm unable to paste into Outlook message body.
It just wont paste.
Typically, Outlook shows me "thniking circle" for a millisecond or rarely just hangs.
There are some exceptions:
1. I'm able to paste into To: field
2. I'm able to paste into Subject: field
3. I'm able to paste even into body if I copied text from Notepad.
4. I'm able to paste into body when I copied text from another email.
Additional information:
Outlook default message format "Plain text" (Rich text, HTML - does'nt matter)
What I'v tried so far and results:
1. Repair Office installation trough "Programs and features" - NO LUCK
2. Changed default paste behaviour from other programs to "keep text only" - NO LUCK
3. Used SAFE MODE - this helps, paste SEEMS WORKING correctly. Based on my knowledge, SAFE mode mainly disables Add-ins. OK.
Disabled all Add-ins in normal mode so Outlook shows that "No Active Application Add-Ins" - NO LUCK
So, I'm out of ideas. I think that this problem starts after installing Office 2010 SP1
I don't want to uninstall SP1 because for me it's not a solution (SP1 won't dissapear from the list of updates), ok.. agree, it may be
temporary solution but at the end of the day, there must be something else.
Any ideas?

Rename normailemail.dotm to .old when Outlook is closed and see if it works now.
You can find the file here;
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates

Thanx, NormalEmail.dotm did not do anything for me but the renaming the Normal.dotm in the same folder did the trick for me. I can paste links again into outlook :)

Show hiide Buttons not working in andorid OS and windows mobile OS

Hi,
I made a file in Indesign CS6. This file has a map with dots on it. When a user clicks a dot, an info box pops up giving info about that dot. He clicks the box to make it dissappear and can click another dot for the next info. I achieved this using the hide and show feature of buttons and exported using interactive Pdf. The file works fine on a windows Pc but it does not work on andorid or windows mobile platform. How can I make it work for both?

I assume that you're talking about Show-Hide Fields in an interactive PDF. It's not likely that it will work given the limitations of most PDF readers on mobile devices.
I'm a user of an iPad and iPhone, and haven't worked with Android or Windows devices but I think the issues are the same on all platforms. Some PDF readers are better than others. You didn't say what PDF reader you were testing on.
Here are two articles I've written about the frustrations of getting interactivity to work on mobile devices, in this case, an iPad:
http://indesignsecrets.com/for-interactive-pdf-not-all-readers-are-equal.php
http://indesignsecrets.com/navigation-button-tricks-for-interactive-pdf-on-an-ipad.php
The best PDF reader for iOS devices is PDF Expert, but I don't believe that exists for Android or Windows devices. I can view interactivity that Adobe Reader doesn't support.

Interactive PDF show/hide button not working properly

I could use some help. I'm creating an interactive pdf using show hide buttons. A button is set to hidden and a second button controls it's visible on mouse enter and mouse exit. Sometimes these buttons which are set to visible turn to invisible in the general/form field propery window and stop working. I've tried replacing the buttons with new ones, but this hasn't helped. Is this a bug or do you think the document is corrupt. This is a large prototype file which has to be shown to a client and rebuilding it is not a welcome thought.
Is there a way to program this using java to create this function? (I'm a Java novice.)
Thanks

HI PAUL, WE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SO, IF YOUR USING INDESIGN CS2 OR 3 WE HAVE FOUND THAT BY MAKING A NEW BUTTON WITH ALL THE ACTIONS YOU WANT IN A NEW DOCUMENT ON THE MASTER PAGE AND THEN COPYING AND PASTING THE NEW BUTTON INTO YOUR ORIGINAL FILE ONTO THE PAGE MASTER THIS USUALLY SOLVES THE PROBLEM.

Show desktop button not working

This is my only problem. I installed gnome and got everything up and running sansthe show desktop button. My windows also look a bit funky (anytime I open something I can't see the my applications, locations, and settings menus uptop).
Whenever I click the show desktop button I get:
Your window manager does not support the show desktop button or you are not running a window manager.

I figured this out, I installed metacity and everything works now.

Outlook 2010 IMAP connection problem and not work with TLS enabled

Dear all,
Need your help. 5 users of my customer Outlook 2010 suddenly popped error message "Your IMAP server closed the connection". We checked that there is no problem in IMAP connection in Exchange 2007 server (SP3) (we tested with setup new
account in another Outlook and able to connect, send and receive email).
We are able to workaround the problem of that 5 users by disabling TLS in account setting for SMTP to Exchange. The users can then connect and able to send and receive. (however, in our testing above, there is no problem with TLS).
Could you help to enlighten me what may be the cause of this situation?
Best Regards,
Rayson Wong

Hi,
Please click File > Account Settings > Account Settings > Select the IMAP account and click
Change > More Settings button > Advanced tab, and then adjust the
Server Timeouts slider bar to a longer time to check the result.
Also make sure the SMTP server port number is set correctly.
Please let me know the result.

After much trouble, I finally updated iTunes to 11.1.4 and now Outlook 2010 just shows it's not responding

I had a lot of trouble updating iTunes to 11.1.4 and had to uninstall it and all of its connected programs before I could finally reinstall it. It's working properly now, but Outlook will only partially open. It opens up, but it says "Not Responding" for a very long time and never functions.I can get to my e-mail through Hotmail on the 'net, but I prefer using Outlook and have other e-mail boxes there that I need it for.
I'm on PC running Windows 7. Does anyone know if the install of iTunes could have screwed Outlook up? It was closed when I did the install.
Thanks for any help!

I finally found a solution that worked.
I installed the App "Group SMS" from the App Store. Then I created a new group. Then I added all my addresses manually one by one. And when I then synchronize - all my contacts appeared again in Outlook.

Outlook 2010, iCloud, Calendar, iPhone synch: not working together.

Everything had been working fine: My iPhone calendar events were synching with my Outlook Calendar and visa versa. Then a couple of days ago it seemed to stop. My iPhone wasn't synching with my Outlook. So what do I do? I look on the web to see if there is something about the problem. I read that it could be caused by the need for my iphone to have the latest update. I was using OS 6 and there was OS 6.1 available. I decided to go ahead and update the iphone.
Well, that killed the iphone. The screen when blue and then the apple symbol showed up on the computer and it just hung there. It was like it was trying to load and just not loading. I had no phone for the day. I was 4 hours from the closet Apple store, and after work headed off to the Apple Store.
When I arrived (40 min before they were set to close) they were very nice and took my phone and got it back up and running. The problem was that what ever they did killed all my pics and other info on my iphone (music...). But the Calendar seemed to be working. So I thanked them and trundled off to the hotel.
At the hotel I plugged my iphone into the computer and then it poped up saying that I could restore my phone from itunes! Yea!! So I did it.
Well... that killed the calendar again. So there was a bug or something goinng on between the icloud and iphone and Outlook, I think... I'm not sure but I think that had to be the case. I say I'm not sure because I hadn't checked to see if my Outlook clendar was updating and pushing those updates to my iphone through the icloud calendar. But I think that had stopped.
So again, a second day without a calendar. I had a phone so at least that wasn't too bad.
I made an appoointment at the San Antonio Northstar Mall Apple store location. Let me tell you what... these guys here are very friendly (especially Levi, great guy). And now I'm sitting here (for three hours) trying to get this resolved. Mind you many people would say "Hey that's taking a long time!" but remember folks we aren't paying these people to help us. True I'd be willing to pay but we're not... so relax.
Anyhoo... I finally got the Outlook Calendar to find the Icloud Calendar but it's still not synching up. I signed out and have signed back in and am hopeing that this resolves the loss of the calendar on Outlook.
I'll report more later.

I agree. I posted about this about a month ago and the only answer I got was that perhaps it was the way which google was choosing to handle the functionality. I think the feature where you can click on an address in your Google Calendar (and it should work on your Iphone Calendar as well), and it comes up in the Iphone Maps application, is completely necessary, as the map in safari is basically worthless. I had previously bragged about this feature, and now it's gone?! BRING IT BACK!

Phone version: Contact form "Send" button not working

The "Send" button on the contact form works when used through a laptop browser, but doesn't work in a cell phone browser. I've tried it with an iPhone 6 and Samsung Dart. Any help is appreciated.

Outlook 2010 contacts not showing phone number in Lync 2013 client

Hi,
We have Lync 2013 with Exchange 2010. Recently we started upgrading Lync clients from 2010 to 2013.
A few users started reporting that their local Outlook contacts does not show phone numbers in Lync 2013 (working with 2010)
I have installed the august patch which should solve this issue
981751 - Lync 2013 does not display telephone number of an Outlook 2010 contact in the contact card
Any idea where to look next?

Hi Tobias Borgen Nielsen,
Lync expects all the phone numbers to be in the E.164 format, meaning they should be +1-111-11111111 etc. If they’re not like this, you will have to normalize them if you want Lync
to publish them.

Ipod 4th gen volume buttons not working. Volume bar not showing in music or video apps, not a speaker problem as this works fine when testing built in alarm tones???

Ipod 4th gen volume buttons not working. Volume bar not showing in music or video apps, not a speaker problem as this works fine when testing built in alarm tones???

Have you tried the standard fixes:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My outlook 2010 Contact Groups are not visible in iTunes; only syncs main Outlook Contact Folder, others not synching

I have an iPhone (running the latest device software) and have Outlook 2010 for PC on my desktop. I have several Outlook 2010 Contact Folders/Groups but when I try to sync with my iPhone I only have the option to sync all of my contacts.
When I sync this -- the only Outlook folder/group that is synced is my main 'Contacts' folder/group. All the rest of my folders/groups are not being transferred to my iPhone. I've had this issue for a few months now -- and though I like the iPhone, my old Blackberry nev er presented this problem when it came to the simple base function of syncing. Appreciate your help -- as I am out of answers. Thanks.

I ipod classic 80 gb when I am connected pc connected after that is hanged just showing connected its not working any button

I ipod classic 80 gb when I am connected pc connected after that is hanged just showing connected its not working any button .

Try connecting it to another PC, if it is ok, then your PC has some software conflict with iTunes.
If it hangs other PC also, then your iPod Hardisk, maybe bad.
Do the disk diagnosticas posted earlier by tt2, to check the health of your Hardisk.
Have a nice day!

How to sync Outlook 2010 Contact Groups to my iPad and iPhone

I am trying to figure out how to sync my Outlook 2010 contact groups to my iPad and iPhone. Also how do you manage the groups once on the device? Seems they can only be selected and not edited. I can get my Good contact group and my Windows Contacts contact group to sync but not my Outlook 2010 groups. Any ideas?

Mac solution. No idea if works on PC:
Work Around:
On your mac:
1. Open a new email
2. Insert name of an existing group into one of the "To" fields as usual.
3. Highlight all the resulting names in the "To" entry
     [Highlight first name, and while holding shift, highlight last name and all will highlight[]
4. Copy (Command C) the highlighted emails
5. Paste (Command V) nto a pages document
6. Remove the name and anything else preceeding the first < and also the first < of only the first entry whixh will look like this:
     [email protected]>,
7. Remove the > of the last email which will look like this:
     , Jane Doe <[email protected]
8. Copy the entire altered list from the pages document
9, Go to Contact Book and click + to add a new entry
10.. Name the entry (XXX Group for iPad) or whatever you wish to call it
11. Paste all the copied altered list into any one of the email entry spaces
12. Click on "Done"
13. Create new email On iPad and click on + in any one of the "To" lines and search for "XXX Group for iPad" You cannot just key in XXX Group for iPad!!!!!!!, you must use + contact search.
14. Enter the selected iPad contact group into the "To" line.
15. All the entries will now appear in the "To" line and you are good to go.
Adding or deleting email addresses from the iPad group:
Easiest: Alter the original mac group in the usual way and repeat steps 1-14 above. It seems impossible to edit within the emai line of the iPad contact entry.
Rediculously simple once figured out.
Happy emailling, but please send Bcc so that you don't spread your groups' email addresses all over the internet for spam, viruses, and other unwanted emails. Be considerate and ask your recipients to notifiy you if they wish to be deleted from the lists you compose.
