Outlook 2013 contacts list missing

When I look down my contact list contacts are missing, I do a search and they are there but not on my contacts list?  I am unable to add them, gives me a message this contact already exsits.
Thanks.

Hey Remwhirl,
It sounds like you may have inadvertantly filtered your contacts. Try the following:
Open your contacts folder
Click the View tab on the file bar
Click Reset Current View
This will remove any filters that were applied.

  • How do I get the GAL in OWA to show up in my Outlook 2007 contacts list?

    How do I get the GAL in OWA to show up in my Outlook 2007 contacts list?
    Is there a directory server address I can use to set up a new address book?

    FYI, the Outlook 2007 Contacts list is striclty for personal contacts and does not automatically sync with the GAL.  If you want the contacts in the GAL to be listed there, you have to copy them manually, as Jorge has indicated, or export them (however
    you choose) and upload to SharePoint. 
    If only required for a single mailbox, copying is the quickest method.  If needed for multiple mailboxes (and especially if you already have SharePoint as part of the BPOS suite), then I highly recommend using a Contact Library in SharePoint Online.
    If it wasn't difficult, it wouldn't be fun, but why's it got to be this much fun.

  • Outlook 2013 Contact manager cannot create database

    Hi,
    I have installed my Office 2013 Home & Business on a Windows Server 2012 R2. My outlook 2013 is working. Thereafter I downloaded the 2013 Contact manager and tried to create a database.
    An error message from Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2013 Database Tool says
    'Cannot retrieve the list of SQL Server instances. Please make sure that SQL Server 2005 or greater is installed and that the service is running.'
    I have also installed an older versions of SQL Server 2008 - I have the same error message. It seems that the BCM software cannot detect the older SQL server 2008 also.
    Any pointers for me to resolve this?
    I dont find any thread that deals with my problem. Since then, I have installed the SQL Server 2008 and it still does not read the application. The error is as below.

    Hi,
    Please refer to this kb below:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/942496
    Althought the kb is for Outlook 2007, it can still be a reference in your scenario:
    This problem may occur if the SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) service is not running. The SQL Server service is required by Business Contact Manager. This problem occurs because the Windows Welcome screen may prevent the SQL Server service from starting when you first
    restart the computer after you install Office Outlook with Business Contact Manager.
    Please try if this helps:
    Exit Outlook.
    On Desktop, right-click This PC, and then click Manage.
    Click Services and Applications.
    Double-click Services.
    In the services pane, click SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ).
    Click Restart the service.
    Exit Computer Management, and then start Outlook.
    If the issue persists, what does the event log messages say? If there's not much private, please post the logs in the forum.

  • After upgrade to outlook 2013 Contacts have the default picture in reading pane

    I'm using Windows 8 on a domain (using a domain account not a Microsoft account) connecting to Exchange, all my Contacts were outlook contacts with pictures and other data, I could see the picture of the contact in the reading pane and people pane while
    using Outlook 2010.
    After the upgrade to Outlook 2013 the contacts are not lost (I can see them in the People Hub) but it appears that they are unavailable in the reading pane because all I can see is the default picture (the default picture picture is also visible in the notifications).
    If I put the mouse over the name of the people while in the reading pane all I can see is the card with the default info (the only data visible is that the contact is available in the next 8 hours), if I compose a new message and hover the name of the contact
    i can see the card with all the data (picture, company, etc.).
    Is this the default behavior in Outlook 2013 if you are in a domain and not connected to any service or there is a way to show the picture of my contacts in every part of outlook?

    No, it should be available still. Did you recreate this mail profile after the upgrade?
    Try forcing a complete update of the Office Line Address Book via the Send/Receive tab-> Send/Receive Groups-> Download Address Book
    Otherwise, reset the OAB by renaming your oab-file to .old when Outlook is closed. You'll find them here:
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Offline Address Books\<Account GUID>

  • Cannot Delete a contact in Outlook Shared Contact List

    I have a user who has a Shared Contact List in Outlook 2010.
    He is added as Publishing Editor to the list. Whenever he tries to delete a contact from the list after the sync the contacts appears again.
    These are the sync logs found in the sync folder:

    18:06:11 Synchronizing Mailbox 'xyz'

    So basically as owner of the contact list he is unable to delete the contact.
    Please help!!

    Hi Top,
    Please performing the deleting action as Administrator for testing if it is convenient.
    If we can do this via Administrator, it should be an permission issue. Please double check whether we modified the owner's permission.
    According to the log said, I found a point "There is not enough memory available to perform the operation."
    Can we add a contact via Owner?
    Found a KB for your reference:

  • Corrupt Outlook 2007 Contact List

    Hello,
    We have a user running outlook 2007 who cannot send email to certain contacts.  We believe their contacts may have been corrupted by a mobile phone sync application.  The application has been removed from their pc, but when an email is sent to
    a random contact, the user will receive a ndr that says:  "The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:" -and there is no recipient listed.  We are thinking their contact list is corrupted but have not been able to repair.  We have
    tried exporting their contacts to a pst and running scanpst without success.  Any ideas??
    Thanks,
    Derek

    Are you getting any NDR Numeric Code following the error message? By analyzing the code you can formulate what’s the actual cause for the issue then follow some resolution method for that.
    AS you are saying that you aren’t able to send messages to certain recipient. Have you tried out
    sending emails to these addresses using gmail or yahoo?
    If the NDR message is coming from your system, it could be a DNS lookup issue.
    A complete description about the NDRs is given at:

  • Outlook 2013 secure list for download picture cannot be activated

    In Outlook 2013 I cannot save E-Mail addresses or Domains in the safe list for downloading Pictures immediately. When I push one of the two Options nothing happens. I can only use the "Download Picture" Option repeatedly for every mail.
    I have just moved my Domain from my Provider into Exchange from Office 365. Since then the safe list is not functional anymore.
    With OWA I can use the safe list, but it will not honored in Outlook on my local PC Installation.
    Johann Baatz BJ-Trading

    Hi,
    Please remove all safe senders in Outlook. And add the Domain or E-mail addresses in the Safe list in OWA, then check whether the picture can be download automatically in OWA and Outlook Online mode respectively.
    If the issue doesn’t happen in OWA and Outlook Online mode, please
    create a new Outlook profile to have a try.
    If the issue doesn’t happen in OWA but occurs in Outlook Online mode, please check if there is any third-party Anti-spam or mail scanning in your local PC. If that is the case, please disable them to check whether the issue persists.
    If the issue persists, start Outlook in safe mode to have a try:
    Start > Run > type Outlook /safe and enter

  • Only sync Outlook 2013 contacts to iCloud?

    I don't want sync calendars, mails to iCloud, I just want to sync contacts in Outlook 2013 to iCloud. Can I choose that?
    Thanks

    Since you only want to sync Contacts -- what about using iTunes? Here's some info. Obviously, it has some issues ... but maybe you'll have better luck?
    Then someone posted this in another forum -- please note I don't know if it works as #2 concerns me:
    1. Un-installed iTunes.
    2. Deleted the AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer folder (***Careful: This contains all the back-ups. You can do a copy of this folder, but delete it from AppData/Roaming.)
    3. Re-started Windows.
    4. Downloaded and installed latest version of iTunes.
    5. De-activated all plug-ins from outlook except for the iTunes plug-in.
    6. Plug-in your iPhone and sync

  • 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.

    1. Group expansion is enabled and disabled by using the
    Set-CsWebServiceConfiguration cmdlet. Please make sure
    EnableGroupExpansion
    parameter is set to
    true .

    2. Can you run the command
    Test-CsGroupExpansion to test the ability of a user to employ group expansion ?
