Outlook 2010 - share contacts - read only ?

I have shared my contacts by using the Share Contacts tool.
When I did this Outlook displayed a message about giving read only access - I clicked Yes.
The other user can access my contacts but can modify the list. I don't know why this is happening because the read only setting should prevent any modification, should it not?

Hi,
Let's try removing the permission from both Contact Folder permission and Delegate:
1. Right click on the Contacts folder, choose Properties, then
Permissions tab, select the user, click Remove button.
2. FILE -> Account Settings ->
Delegate Access -> select the user, click Remove button.
Make sure permissions have been removed from both, then try to share the contacts again, check if the issue persists.
Thanks,

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.

MDT 2010 - Validation Error: The deployment share is read-only, so no changes can be made

I keep getting the above listed error when trying to update the rules on one of my deployment shares. I've even gone so far as to remove the read-only flag on everything in the share, it doesn't help.
As a workaround, I've been editing the CustomSettings.ini directly, but I'd really like this to work. Any ideas?
As an aside, the 'Alert me when someone responds to this post' never seems to work here. And yes, I've checked my spam folder as well...

Ok, it seems to be related to the MDT WizardEditor, but I'm not sure how. I logged on to the server and was able to update the deployment share several times. I closed the MMC, opened the WizardEditor, opened the Deploy.xml thing inside the WizardEditor, closed WizardEditor, reopened MMC - READ ONLY.
Very weird.

Yahoo contacts read-only?

Is there no real "sync" with Yahoo contacts in 1.3.1? In other words, is it a 1-way "pull" from Yahoo? The release notes don't specifically say it is read-only, but they do say "download contacts from Yahoo". If so, can anyone say if that's temporary? I really wish I'd known that before I went to the trouble of merging all my Yahoo and Google contacts? I only created a Google account because yahoo wasn't available at launch -- I've had yahoo email for years and my contacts were already there and in Outlook.
-- robert
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Yahoo contacts being read only is an issue that does require resolution but I have also been experiencing long delays for updates on my phone. My Yahoo Contacts once updated take over 24 hours to sync with the phone even though I force a sync from the phone. I have only changed to using Yahoo since I updated to 1.4 so I do not know if this was an issue earlier. I used gmail previously but my dominant personal email account has been with Yahoo for over 15 years so keeping my contacts up to date in one location was much easier this way.
Has anyone had this problem? I have already done the "delete the Yahoo account" and load again after shutting down the phone. problem persists.
Thanks

Outlook 2010 lost contacts

How recover lost contacts and calendars? I created a new account, selected the existing .pst file. Only suggested contacts survived. All contacts and calendars items disappeared. Aready tried scanpst.exe

If corrupt .pst file is your issue, then you can try SCANPST.EXE of MS Outlook. It will repair your corrupt .pst file as well as it works with corrupt .ost/.pst files. But sometimes it may fail to fix corruption, in such situation you
can try some third-party PST recovery software. There are many software companies, which provide such recovery applications for corrupt .pst files.
You can check the free demo of Recovery Toolbox for Outlook software. It will help you repair corrupt .pst files and recovers your mailbox items from them. Download free demo versions of this software from Recovery Toolbox website:

Question about Outlook 2010 and Contact list

Good afternoon all, OK so I have been trying to research this problem but I don't know if it can be done. In Outlook 2010 we created a contact list that we use to fax and email referring physicians. In Outlook when you click on a contact in that list and add it to the "To" line it come up with the persons name of the contact I picked, but what if I wanted to fax that contact and needing just the fax number that in that contact card to only come up. Is there a setting that allows me to change what info I want to be seenin the"TO" line of the email?To give a bit more info: Our company just purchased the GFI FaxMaker software that allows us to fax from our PC.We purchased it because it integrated with MS Outlook. What wasn't told to us wasthat we had to add "@faxmaker.com"at the end of the fax number. So hence my problem with outlook....

I am getting this error on a PC with Outlook 2010. But it works on some other Outlook 2010 PC's..

Hello Otto,
Do you have the Click2Run edition of Office 2010 installed on the problematic PC?
The Click2Run edition of Office 2010 doesn't support automation. See Office
2010 Click-to-Run compatibility with add-ins for more information. Also you may find the How
to: Verify Whether Outlook Is a Click-to-Run Application on a Computer article.

Outlook 2010 IMAP Auto Read Emails

Hi All.
I have an issue witch I'm hoping someone can help me.
I have android, ipad, 2
pcs and a server. All the windows based systems use outlook 2010 and the server has 2010 too.
I have an issue that when using any device not including server that emails show up unread / read on all ok but
i have the server setup
to run IMAP setting the same as other devices except any emails over 14days old to download them to the server and delete from
host.
when
i run the server it download as it should and delete as it should but it also marks everything as read too so all devices say no new mails. I have to turn off the server outlook and only open it once a week or
i start missing emails.
I would like the server on all the time so
i can set rules for it to move emails, junk and auto replies but
i just cant have it on in case of missing emails that its auto setting as read.
Ive been through all settings and
cant find anything.
I also thought i might be able to make a rule saying if
email is marked as unread then leave as unread but no joy.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Stuart

Hi,
Would you please let me know the detailed steps to download and delete the old emails on Server? If you disable this function, would emails be auto-read?
Please run Outlook on the server in safe mode to determine if it's 3rd-part add-ins related:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.

Share contacts + calendar ONLY?

Is there any way to share ONLY my iCloud contacts and calendar with another person? Do they need their own iCloud account for this?
Hired my first employee and bought her a Mac Mini. I do all my work on my iMac, iPhone and iPad. I want to give her access to my iCloud Contacts and Calendar so she can enter appointments, tasks and contacts on the Mini and they'll populate on my iMac and my iPhone. And vice-versa -- I'd like to be able to assign appointments or tasks to her Calendar.
She does not have an iCloud account. Would she need one? I noticed in System Preferences > Users & Groups that you can associate an Apple ID with a user profile, but I'm not sure if that's the same as an iCloud account?
It seems if I input my iCloud credentials on the Mini via System Preferences > iCloud, it would also add my mail account to Mail, which I don't want to do since she has her own email address she's using (company domain).
Slightly confused on the best way to do this without tripping over my own ignorance.

If she created her own iCloud account by going to System Preferences>iCloud on her Mac and signing in with her Apple ID, you could privately share your calendars with each other with read and write access as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a9479.
Contacts would be more difficult to share. To access your contacts, she would need to sign into your account and enable contact syncing. However, when she does this, her conacts would be merged with yours. A better solution would probably be to create a Gmail account, import your contacts to the account, and have her add the Gmail account to her Mac and enable contact syncing. This would isolate just the contacts and would not merge hers with yours. If you want to do this, you would need to download your iCloud contacts as a vCard (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606), import the vCard to Gmail (https://support.google.com/mail/answer/183711?hl=en), then add the Gmail account to her Mac in System Preferences>Internet Accounts (Mail,Contacts,Calendars)>Add Account>Google, then check Contacts.

How do I sync with Outlook 2010 business contact manager

My Iphone will default to "contacts" in Outlook 2010.
All my contacts are in "Business Contact Manager", not "contacts".
How do I change to sync with BCM ?

You will need a 3 party software for that, something like this:

Files/folders created in Windows share are read-only... why and how to fix?

Client: MacBook Pro running 10.7.5
Server: Windows 7 desktop
I'm sharing a folder from the Windows 7 machine and mounting it on my Mac using Finder's "Connect to Server..." and an smb:// URI. I'm providing a user ID/password for an account on the Windows 7 box that has full control over the shared folder, via smb://userid:password@server/share.
The volume mounts properly on my desktop, can I can see files/folders there as expected. However:
If I create a folder, it's read-only. I cannot create any files inside (or even see inside), rename the folder, or delete the folder. The folder has a badge: red circle with bar.
If I create a file, it's read-only. I cannot rename it, delete it or edit it.
If I examine File Info via Finder on any of these files or folders, under Sharing & Permissions it says "You have custom access."
If I try to delete these files/folders, I get error code -8072. I can delete them from the command-line, but I can't otherwise manipulate them.
I've verified on the Windows box that the user ID I'm using has full control of the folder. I've also set it so Everyone has full control, with no difference.
This seems to have been a recent change in behaviour (a few weeks ago I was copying data to this drive, no problem), and it's driving me crazy because I can't figure out how to fix it.

L145:
It is always good counsel to Repair Disk Permissions (from the internal HDD) before and after any new installation.
To change permissions in our Applications Folder:
Select Applications Folder.
Get Info (Command + i)
Go down to Ownership & Permissions
Click on arrow next to Details to expand.
Click on lock and authenticate
Owner is system
Group is admin
Change all permissions to Read & Write except Others
Other can Read only.
Please do not hesitate to post back should you have any further questions or comments.
Good luck.

Word 2010 document becomes Read-Only after saving it

Hi,
My Word 2010 document is becoming "Read Only" after saving it, for information my doucment is on the desktop . I searched on this forum and find a couple of solutions (deactivating auto saving, etc.) but it does not work at all. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Sylvain.

, I wonder why the docuemnt is becoming Read-Only when I am saving it on the Desktop...
I've read articles and blogs of people arguing each side of whether you should use the Desktop as a storage folder and I really
don't have anything substantial to add to either the pro or con side of the issue.
However, what I know about Word is that it behaves a bit different and seems to have issues when you’re actively editing document that are stored
on the Desktop. I would speculate that the issue has something to do with the screen driver software.
When you’re editing a document, Word is actually using something like a dozen or more temporary hidden files and some of these are stored in the
same folder as the source document. If the source document’s folder is the Desktop, then there has to be interaction with the screen driver.
This interaction with the screen driver is one variable that makes the Desktop folder unique and possibly problematic and thus Word under certain conditions
makes the file Read Only.

Any way to make Contacts Read Only in Server 10.8/9

I have turned on OS X Server Services Contacts (in either 10.8 or 10.9), set up a user account, added that account as a CardDav to a computer(s) made a group(s) of contacts and imported some vcards so everybody can see them in their Contacts on their computers in 10.8 or 10.9. Everything fine.
What I can't figure out is if there is any way to make them Read Only, allowing only a selected group to have Read/Write privileges. When you have hundreds of employees many of them will end up editing something in the "public contacts" that they shouldn't have done or delete them completely.
If they were read only that would be great.
Any ideas? Other then an exchange server there isn't much out there for Macs.
Thanks,
Todd

Update -
I found a way to make this work. And it is free!
Forget Apple OS X Server Service Contacts.
Use Sogo instead. Works perfectly and is extremely fast in handling our 5000+ public cardev records and 1000+ cardev private records!

How to make Contacts Read only?

Hi
We have a shared cardDAV between 15 macbooks. is it possibe to make some of them read only. I mean some users can only have access to read contacts but not to modify or delete contacts?
Thanks

Hi Mehrab -
Wondering if you had figured out a solution to this? I'm trying to do the same thing.
Thanks.

Minor incompatibility between outlook 2010 and (pdf-) Reader app

Hi.
On win8.1 x64 enterprise (fully patched, including all optional updates to-date), I have found a slight incompatibility with outlook 2010 (x86, sp2). If anybody would like to reproduce it, here are the steps:
First, make sure that the Reader app is your default pdf viewer. Now open outlook and take a message with a pdf attachment. Right click the attachment and select "quick Print". Expected behavior: the attached pdf is sent to your default printer.
Instead, nothing happens.
If I set Adobe Reader as default pdf viewer, it works as expected.
Please be aware that the cause is related to the reader app which is not started by outlook. In order to quick print, the pdf reader would need to be started first, as observed with adobe reader: it flashes up briefly before printing starts.
So the problem is with either outlook or with the way win8.1 manages calls from program to program - I don't know. Please note it has nothing to do with the model of the printer, it happens with all printers, even virtual ones.
If we think of companies adopting win8/8.1, this is really annoying, as it will require them to install a 3rd party reader.
Please look for a solution. If I should report it anywhere, just say where.

Hi,
I made a test on our test enviroment, Windows 8.1 X64 Enterprise, Office 2010 PRO SP2.
There is no problem to printing as you description. You may need to consider if this is Office problem.
