Outlook Connector 7.3 Globa Address book problem

Using Outlook connector 7.3 with Outlook 2003, Against Comms Suite 6; DS5.2p6 (Sun professional services install)
I've configured the Global address book to use our 5.2p6 DS server, and added the VLV indexes as described here
http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Configuring+Directory+VLV+Browsing+for+Connector+for+Outlook
But, when searching the GAB in outlook I get:
"The action could not be completed"
The debug log shows
10/08/2009 15:49:59.015 (0x0a58) {Gal   } [Error ]: XLdap::findEntryStartsWith Ldap search returned 0x32
10/08/2009 15:49:59.015 (0x0a58) {Gal   } [Error ]: XLdap::findEntryStartsWith ldap error : VLV Control
10/08/2009 15:49:59.015 (0x0a58) {Gal   } [Error ]: CLDAPConnection::FindEntry m_pXLdap->findEntryStartsWith failed 1025
I've verified the LDAP GAB server is reachable from the client
Any hits as to where the problem is?
TIA

FYI;
It appears that a combination of anonymous binding and the search filter caused this issue

Offline Address Book problem with Outlook

Hi all.
A strange issue is occuring in my company. Few of my users do not appear in the Offline Address Book in Outlook (in cached mode) but they do appear in the Global Address list in Online Mode or OWA. I have tried to delete the oab files from the local workstation
and downloading the OAB again with no luck. What I find strange is that if I open the udetails.oab file from the user appdata directory with a text editor then I can find the users in there !
So in short, if the Offline Address Book oab files include all users, why isnt Outlook able to find them ?
Regards,
Fred.

Well, I got in touch with Microsoft regarding this issue and it turns out that this is not an Address Book problem as such. The problem is that there is a certain size limit to the Active Directory user object. When that size limit is
reached, users stop to display correctly (or not at all) in the Offline Address Book. There is a Hotfix available for Outlook 2010 that overrides that limit and a Hotfilx for Outlook 2007 is expected in April.
The root cause is in our case that we have a certificate authority issuing user certificates. When users log on to multiple machines they get issued multiple certificates which pile up and finally their AD user object exceeds this
size limit. The quick fix is simply to remove the certificates from the user account in ADUC (Advanced Mode - Published Certificates). When the Offline Address Book has been rebuilt and downloaded all works fine and all users are displayed... The real solution
is to reconfigure the certificate templates not to reenroll new certificates if a duplicate one exists but that requires some considerations based on the needs of your environment.
Hi FMG,
I am having the same GAL issue with only 2 users; however I’m having some further issues. As you suggested, I checked the users published certificates except
that there were no certificates listed for the users at all.
Have you had any luck with a response from a Microsoft rep for this issue, or can you provide any further assistance?

Is it possible to export my outlook contacts to my macbook address book?

Hi! I am trying to export my outlook contacts to my MacBook address book, is it possible or should I type every contact again? thanks!

There is a 3rd party application called o2m that does this and I can vouch for the fact that it works - a client of mine was going crazy until we found and used it.
Outlook sure makes it difficult to export mail stuff, doesn't it?
Best of luck.

Importing address book problem

Hi, hope someone can help.
I'm trying to import an address book from a Virgin pay as you go SIM into a Blackberry Pearl 8110. I can see the address book when I view the 'SIM address book' option and can dial out from here and the view is very basic not the normal BB address book view. But I can't SMS from this SIM address book.
I've used the wizard to try and import the contacts into the BB address book but it just imports the contact names but not the numbers. If I try and select oneof these names nothing happens, its like the address book has frozen. I also cannot open the menu option when in address book either unless I delete all the individual names that have been imported, then I can select the menu option.
I've also tried adding a contact from scratch on the BB but as soon as I save the data (just name and number) it again goes into freeze and I cant open that contact even though I have just entered it.
If someone sends me an SMS I can reply to it directly from the SMS, but cant create a new SMS taking a contact number from the address book. It just wont open the contact list.
I've just unlatched the BB so I can use it as a phone using Virgin PAYG credit I have.
Can anyone help with this contact address book problem?
Cheers J

What does that mean?
It is always helpful to receive help, to include your exact BlackBerry device model # and carrier name, so that when you have a question, that information won't need to be asked up front. Also, stating your device Operating System version is normally another common question, found on your BlackBerry at Options > About, third line down, looks like "v4.x.x.xxx"

Address Book problem with edit mode

Address Book problem!! Cant edit my contacts or delete them. Help!!
What can i do? Excuse my English.

Ever since upgrading to Lion I am unable to add notes to new contacts or to existing contacts that did not have any notes. Old contacts that already had notes work just fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

HT2486 How do I import existing Outlook contact groups into Mac Address Book?

After months of problems with Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac, I am switching to Mac Mail. I seem to have successfully imported my individual contacts into Address Book. However, I have been unsuccessful in figuring out how to import group contacts into Mac Mail.
So far I have created .txt files, (a separate one for each group), listing each e-mail address in that group separated by a comma. Can I input this information into Address Book somehow? If not, how else can I import my groups into Address Book in a more efficient way than manually entering them? Manually dragging and dropping names into each new Address Book group is not an option, since I have about 50 groups with 20-50 people in each of them. It would take me extraordinary amounts of time to do that, not to mention the frustration.
A second question: There are many duplicates listed in my address book. When I select Card>Look for Duplicates, it tells me that No duplicates are found. They most definitely exist, however. How can I erase them without having to manually delete each duplicate?

You can't transfer the groups, you'll need to do it the hard way.
As for the duplicates, how many accounts do you have in your Address Book?

One Computer,two iphones and syncing to two yahoo address books - problem

Hi all,
Before upgrading to itunes 7.7.1.11 (at least I think the upgrade caused the problem) I could associate my wife's iphone to her yahoo contact list and my iphone to my yahoo contact list. So when her phone was connected it would sync to her yahoo account and when mine was connected it would sync to my yahoo account.
Now what happens is that the last yahoo account 'configured' is what gets synced, regardless of phone. For example, I just set up my yahoo contacts in itunes and sync - great, evertyhing works.
Now, when I connect my wife's phone it will sync with my contact list - unless I go into the info tab and click the 'configure' button and change the yahoo account to hers (it automatically shows my account now. It used to show hers).
If I do this, then her phone syncs to her contacts fine. However, now when I connect my phone, the yahoo address book is set to configure with my wife's account, until I change it to mine - you get the idea of the pattern here.
Changing it isn't a big deal, but forgetting just once, really buggers things up.
This never used to happen - anyone experiencing this? Any thoughts to remedy?
Thanks.

You're not alone. We want one phone to get Outlook contacts and the other to get Yahoo. Simple, right? Each phone gets its own playlists, so why not its own contacts? Because Apple doesn't work that way. "One sync provider per iTunes account" is how the popup box puts it. But only when it comes to contacts. Thank goodness they don't carry this nonsense over to music and video syncing.
Amazing that Apple didn't anticipate this problem. Mom and Dad and Junior want to be on the same account so the family's iTunes purchases are shared, but of course they don't want the same contacts on their phones.
I had posted the problem here:

PC Companion 2.01, How to sync outlook contacts instead of windows address book

After the first installation of PC Companion the program uses the outlook contacts database to sync my phone. There was no problem.
After some weeks the program uses the windows phone book (wab-file) of outlook express instead of the original outlook 2000 contacts database.
The picture (image1) shows the sync target on my system: In this case the program uses the windows address book instead of the outlook.
I am sure, some weeks ago, I have seen the outlook icon on this place. In the meantime I have installed the media go extensions.
In the settings I can only select windows address book.
In advanced settings of pc companion only outlook express (windows address book) is available.
How can I configure or hack the program to use outlook 2000 contacts database again?
Is there any registry key or settings file?
Uninstall an new install does not help.

IOS4 on iphone3GS address book problem

Hi
I have an address book entry with approximately 1000 phone numbers stored.
The address book entry is imported with the App HK Junk Calls, creating a address book entry named "Junkcall List"
When I tried to access the address book entry to modify the ringtone, the entry could not be loaded for me to amend the details (add a phone number, modify ringtone, etc)
The problem arise when I upgrade to iOS4 onwards from iphone OS 3.1.3
Anyone know how can the bug be reported to Apple ?

IN both cases, via syncing the iPhone with your computer. You need to get that data from the old iPhone (via syncing with Outlook, Windows Address Book, Address Book on a Mac, etc.). From the Nokia, you'd need to export that data and import it into one the contacts app on the computer. Alternatively, if the Nokia uses a SIM card, you can insert that SIM card into the iPhone and use Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Import SIM Contacts.

Email/Address Book Problem Web Surfing Problem?

Hi,
I'm new to this group but I'm hoping someone here can help me. I have a PowerMac G3 running OS 9.2 and Internet Explorer 5 with SBC DSL. I do email in Internet Explorer and until last week it was great. Suddenly every time I try to get into my address book I get a blank page it freezes. If I try to forward or reply and click on To or CC and get into my address book that way, I get only a couple of address in teeny tiny print (like about 6 point) and I can't insert them. Now I also own an IBM laptop so I can do my email that way, but I'm finding this really annoying. I've called SBC twice and they say it's a browser problem and something in my browser needs to be reset and I should call Apple. So I called Apple and was told that my computer is "vintage" and they won't service it. So I'm out of options since I've done Norton's and all the things I know how to do and none of them have solved the problem. The girl at SBC had me lower the settings on the Norton's AntiVirus because she thought that was interfering with the internet but nothing has changed.
I'd be happy to upgrade to a newer browser but I don't think anything else will run with OS 9...everything I've looked at seems to require OS X which won't work in this computer.
Any ideas? Please help! Thanks!
Susan

Internet Explorer is not an email program but a browser. Therefore, I am going to assume you are using Outlook Express as your email client.
If you are not already doing so, you should be using the latest version of Outlook Explorer for your current OS system.
Regarding your email problem, as I do not use OE, until some knowledgeable users come in her who do use OE, suggest that you check out Unofficial Outlook Express FAQ & Outlook Express 5.0 For Macs as there maybe something in those links that may be of some help.
Also you are using a too old version of IE (Internet Explorer) version 5. The latest version for your current OS system is 5.1.7 which can be downloaded from the following link:
Internet Explorer v5.1.7
"WARNING:" Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer for Mac on December 31st, 2005, and is not providing any further security or performance updates.
Accordingly, as of January 31st, 2006, Internet Explorer for the Mac is no longer available for download from Microsoft.
In view of the above, strongly suggest that you install some backup broswers:
Mozilla v1.3.1(Wamcom)
Netscape Browser Archive
Netscape v7.0.2
MacUpdate-NC v7.0.2
iCab v3
Opera v6.0.3

Lion Address Book problem - all of over 2,000 contacts disappeared - one mysteriously reappeared - then they all reappeared during resync with Gmail!

The subject iine pretty much describes what happened.
I am wondering if it is anything to do with what looks like an odd file in the directory ~ Library -> Application Support -> Address Book
As well as the "real" database file there is this zero bytes one:
AddressBook-v22.abcddb.0F392545-78F2-4AE6-8D30-457C138332B2.unknown
From the date, it might be something to do with installing and linking Cobook to Address Book maybe?
These are the files and folders in that directory (sub-directory files not shown):
I have enabled the debug menu in Address Book but have not been able to find any info about how to use it. I lie! I did read that I might possibly have been able to "retrieve" the contacts using the debug menu "Force Refresh" - however that was after I had started to resync with Gmail contacts.
I realised that something odd was going on during resync when I saw that there were over 4,000 contacts being processed rather than the 2,000 or so that I was expecting. Initially, none of the contacts groups from Gmail were showing in Address Book after this partial sync (I stopped it when I saw what was happening). However, after quitting and restarting Address Book, the groups appeared again.
I have not lost my contact data - as well as Gmail contacts I also have an Address Book backup from about two weeks ago and also the backup created by Cobook about two weeks ago. (Installed Cobook as it looked like a very efficient way of getting to view individual contacts quickly - Quicksilver just isn't finding them at all). I used third party app "Contacts Sync for Google Gmail" to link Address Book with Gmail as it gives you options about what to do for each duplicate card that it identifies.
I then spent a lot of time sorting through the contacts on Address Book, finding duplicates, updating data, etc. with the intention of managing contacts in Address Book from then on, rather than in Gmail. Not all of these changes are reflected in the Cobook backup or Gmail.
My worry is, with Lion being such a god-awful Pig's Ear in so many more ways than this, that this Address Book mess might happen again.
I seem to have spent most of my time over the last month wrestling with the numerous problems that keep cropping up with Lion and getting little to show for it.
WARNING! FOOT-STAMPING WHINGE ABOUT LION - LOOK AWAY AND DOWN TO THE HOWLING FACES - IT WON'T BE ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVEN'T HEARD BEFORE:
I gave up on OSX when I tried Panther - that was dreadful - but was lured back by Tiger, have used Leopard very comfortably for about 5 years, had a very happy couple of months with Snow Leopard and now - this mess that is Lion! I have repaired OSX install permissions and "home user" permissions time and again, TinkerTooled it until I am blue in the face and it seems that every few days I manage to fix something and then almost immediately something else screws up. I can't upgrade to Mountain Lion on this machine and am seriously considering installing or running Linux as these problems with Lion are just never-ending - and then there are all the other stupid changes that have subsequently been sensibly reverted, mitigated or worked around in ML).
I have never bothered much with Address Book or Mail in the past as I have found them too limited. I have used either the Gmail web interface or Thunderbird. However, Gmail has started crashing my favourite browsers (Seamonkey and Firefox), Thunderbird has got just a bit too complicated and I cannot get Quicksilver to play ball with Gmail. The Lion version of Address Book is better than Gmail Contacts and Mail Smart Folders can emulate Gmail filters and labels - a huge improvement. So, just when these apps look good enough to be worth bothering with, they come part and parcel with what I have seen mocked, and rightly, as "Apple Vista"!
Sorry for that but I am about at the end of my tether with it all ;-/
I would be very grateful if anyone can offer any advice about:
1) That strange looking zero bytes file in the Address Book folder.
2) Whether the Address Book debug menu options might be of any help in this situation?
There seem to be lots of people having problems with Address Book in both Lion and Mountain Lion, if not exactly this issue, so maybe the answers will help others too.
Fingers crossed!
Ms Mousette
ps. In the product list to tick for this question they are grouped so I cannot specify that this is actually nothing to do with the iPhone. I have got a load of contacts on my iPhone too but I am not going to sync them until I have got this issue sorted out.

Could this font be the cause of the problem?
Possibly, since that font is not the one that Address Book uses and there is no method to specify or change the font used by Address Book. You could have recovered your Address Book contacts without syncing, so that could also be part of the problem. You should always make a keep a backup of your Address Book on your computer and in another safe location whenever you make any change to it.
May I ask why you haven't updated to 10.4.11 yet, as it provides various bug fixes and security enhancements?

How can I export Outlook 2007 contacts to Leopard Address Book application?

Hi,
I just bought a MAC and I want to get rid of my PC, but first i want to export my CONTACTS from my Windows MS Outlook 2007 and import them in Leopard Address Book application.
Any way I can do that ?
Many thanks !

I don't know if doing it with single vcards is the way you want to have it. This can be a quite big task when having many contacts.
In Outlook You can export them as text file. You got to +File - Import and Export+. In the assistent you choose "Export to file". Then you choose "comma seperated (Windows)" In the next step you mark your Contacts folder. Then you choose where you want to save your output file. (I mountet my Documents folder on the mac and saved it there). Finish this assistent.
Now on the mac you open AdressBook. +File - Import - text+ file and choose then your .csv file. Now in the AdressBook a import window opens where you can set all the fields matching to where Outlook stored the information. But basicly it should work without doing there something. Then you can import all Your Outlook contacts in one run.
Hope this helps You!

Mail merge in Pages using Address Book - problem with fields

I am a fan of using the many of the Mac OS, iLife and other Apple applications together and just purchased iWork '09. I'd never done mail merges in previous versions of Pages, but I decided to try today with my Address Book data. I stumbled across some problems related to Address Book that have bothered me for some time and wonder if there is a simple go-around. Many of the cards in my Address Book have more than one line in the street address field. For example, they have street and street number in one line and the apartment number in the second. When Pages encounters such vCards in my Address Book, it doesn't know what to do and skips the next line of the address, which includes city, state and zipcode. I have also altered my Address Book template to include such things as the person's college (as I work with lots of college students), but this field is not recognized in Pages' mail merge feature. So, if I put the college name at the beginning of the street field in Address Book (which is what I have done until today), I can get excellent mail labels to print from Address Book, but I now I realize that this causes the mail merge problems in Pages described above. If I list the college elsewhere in the vCard, such as under the guise of "department" (an accepted field for mail merge in Pages), I lose the ability to get accurate mail labels in Address Book. Any ideas?

Page's Mail Merge doesn't show up any "Custom" fields in its list?

Address Book - Problems after installing Snow Leopard

My Address Book now seems 'buggy'. Despite setting the 'sort by last name' in the preferences, the list will only sort by first names. Companies that were listed under the company name, now are listed as 'no name'.
Anyone with similar problems or recommendations for solution?

Of all the applications that could go buggy, this had to be the one, right. It's the one (mail and address book) that I use the most and depend upon the most. fortunately I had backed up my data before upgrading to Snow Leopard. However, Mail and Address book have been so buggy as to not be usable, almost. The address book icon in Mail does not bring up a mirror image of my real address book. And the bugs mentioned here in this thread are actually minor compared to the fiasco I had when first attempting to fix the problems. I had my complete address book duplicated . . . and when I tried to fix that, it went bonkers . . . ended up reinstalling the whole OS again. I sure hope they get this one fixed quickly. Otherwise, I'll have to resort to some other mail program that actually works. I'm very disappointed in this outcome!!!
