Problems with the address book server! Really need some help here!

Hello everyone!
for about some time now, we're having some troubbles with the address book server located on our Mac Pro Server running SL Server. The connected clients somehow show multiple entries of groups, contacts and everything else address book can show. Sometimes you see one group or contact about 20-30 times or even more.
How can the addressbook server on SL Server be configured that these faults won't show up again. With this present, using address book server is useless. As far as my knowledge goes, I've tried everything I can. I deleted the address book account set up on each client, readded it, but no help. I stopped the address book server on the Mac pro, but no help either.
For your further information: we're connecting 14 clients. Moste of the rum Lion, three run ML and several iDevices connect via WiFi.
Please help me, as this really is frustrating!
Looking forward for your help.
Regards,
Moritz

If your landlord doesn't want FIOS in the building, then it's not going to happen.

Really need some help here to try and get Fios services in my building

I have been trying to convince my landlord for months to get Fios in the building. Here is a recent email exchange with him. Does anyone know if any of this is true, about the install damages? If it is true, then Verizon needs to get their act together!
Here is the email exchange.
D-
I am sorry but we have no plans to let Verizon in to this building. They do
a lot of damage to the building and do not make the repairs after or pay for
any damages they do.
Thanks,
Steven

Subject: Question
Hey Steve,
Could you please do me a favor and speak with the building owner once again
about Fios? I know you mentioned he wasn't to keen on the idea of them
doing the install but it would really make a big difference. As of right
now my iPad's cellular connected internet is faster for $30/mo than the
$120/mo I'm paying Time Warner. On top of that, I can't even watch HD
movies on demand. I've had TWC out here twice in the last four months and
every time they claim nothing is wrong. Its very frustrating. I'll do
almost anything I can to assist in this. Please let me know if you can do
anything.
Thank you as always!

Hey MSIer, I just did a complete wipe on my hard drive and now there's totally nothing left on the drive like really nothing so what I wanna ask is that how do I get back all the pre installed software including windows 8.1 itself, how?
Does anyone out there don't mind taking some time to help list down a guide on how to get back to how the laptop originally was(all the pre installed software including windows 8.1 iitself)? Your help is really much much much muchhhh appreciated!!! T_T

You should be able to restore using the Recovery Discs you made(if you made them..) or by pressing the F3 key during bootup.
Though, if you wiped all partitions on the hard drive, including the normally hidden recovery partition you are kind of screwed.. in that case you need to send it in for repair, but it will not be fixed under warranty.(if you dont have Recovery disc's)
Quote from: JakeSully;112055
Yeah best option when getting a new laptop it is to create a recovery dic or USB recovery and atleast .iso recovery to that way incase you wipe everything on hard disk you can restore every partitions that was wiped including recovery partition that has copy of windows 8.1 64 bit that comes pre-installed.
I didn't do any recovery disc and have yet to try the F3 button that you mention. So let say even if the F3 is not working I'm totally screwed right?

I really need some help here....Please?

Hey guys i have posted numerous threads regarding this issue but to no avail so im going to try one last time.
Basically, Itunes works fine UNTIL i start to sync, Then it freezes up for a while then starts to sync a little bit...Then freezes and syncs a little bit..And so on..
It took me 2 WHOLE days to sync 15 episodes of southpark.
I transfered some movies and songs to my wifes laptop and it sync'd everything in around 50 seconds flat, So its now obvious that it must be my PC.
I have USB 2 and i have 6 slots, I have tried ALL the different USB slots and it stays the same.
Does anyone have ANY idea what this could be?
I spoke to the guy who built my PC and he is changing the USB ports, He also said if that doesn't work he will change my motherboard..
Is there a simple solution to this? Am i going to have to change Motherboard? ANY help would really be greatful.

Hold your horses....
Have you done some "rule out" testing? How do you know that the USBs are bad? How do you know that the MB is bad?
1/ do all ports work when you plug a mouse in them?
2/ what is a throughput when you plug a flash drive into these USBs (try 1 at a time) and copy a large file onto it? Test all the ports and compare speeds - are they at least 5-10 MB per sec? If yeah, then they are OK - system wise.
If the USBs don't work and it's a PCI card, look for drivers and if no luck, buy a new card.
If the USBs are built into the MB, then you have no other choice but to replace it, but only as the very last resort. Seems to me that he's trying ot hose you, my friend.....
IN any case, it could be the drivers! Or..iTunes. Did you try to remove & reinstall?

Really need some help here!!

Right chaps. Been with bt 16 months now(contract due to run out in dec) been paying my bills on time and not running up high bills..my monthly base cost is around 47 pound per month..
Direct Debit is around 62 pound per month and ive just recieved an email saying its going p to 82 per month!!!!1
how can my direct debit be nearly double my monthly bill when we hardlys use the phone (mobiles all the way)
im on unlmited inf 2 (so no extra bb charges),never misses any bills,always bee on time.
Im just stumped as to why my direct debit is going up and not down.
Any help?

Welcome to the forum. The Monthly Payment Plan strikes again! There's no point in trying to guess how the payments are determined as the system works (if that's the correct word) in unfathomable ways. It might be possible to get them amended, or even do it yourself in MyBT, but surely enough it will go wrong again at some point.
Do yourself a favour and switch to monthly billing. It's very reliable in my experience, and once it's up and running you're simply billed each month for the next month's standing charges plus any one-offs (eg call charges) incurred during the previous month. There are a couple of downsides in that any substantial one-offs can't be spread over several months and that you can't change your direct debit date (which is fixed at 8 days after the bill) but that's a small price to pay for the reliability. If you switch while you are in credit, the balance will be set against subsequent bills until it's used up.

Really need some help here. My G5 keeps putting itself to sleep and more..

Just out of the blue my mac doesn't turn on. I turned it on a few more times and it still wouldn'tt power up, my screen was just not recognizing anything. So I open up my mac unplug everything, than turn it back on and it works again. But the fan is very loud, I hear grinding noises every now and than, and the weirdest thing is it would not power up unless I took the cover off my mac and removed the plastic bay that protects the inside from dust.
Now it keeps putting itself to sleep. Over and over it's so frustrating.
I'm very concerned here, is this a hard drive problem? I even formated my hard drive, but that did nothing.
What is going on here?

Have you checked the PRAM battery?
I would check it first. When mine went, I had no response from my Mac at all; just a light on my power button; absolutely no boot at all.
Check out things in Texas Mac Man's Battery, PRAM, PMU tutorial on the subject. His tutorial is a little dated (don't believe it even mentions G5's) but the info in it, except SMU not being included, still applies.
I believe this is the battery for a Late 2005 G5 2.5 dual. Yours is near the age it should be replaced.

Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is.

Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is to do so. Putting my Mac Pro onto icloud synching contacts resulted in duplicate and triplicates of the same cards. I have a few THOUSAND contacts and the last time this happened was on mobile me. that had a function where you could replace info on the mobile me server with info on the computer. I see no way to do that on the new cloud.

For TM restores, see Pondini's TM FAQs for starters, since I don't use TM.

Problems with Apple Address Book Sync after upgrading BBDesktop s/w. Also, no more Rogers support - abandoned customer

I just upgraded my BB Desktop Software but now have a sync error - details show that over 800 entries need to be synced.
When I look at 'details', the 'before' shows a phone number field called "Main Fax" the 'after' shows a phone number field called "Other", with the same phone number targeted.
There are a handful of other syncs such as address blank in 'before' and completed in 'after. I found these by just scrolling down the list with my down arrow and scanning the 'before' entries as they flew by.
There seems to be no way for me to manually choose which of the 'before' and 'after' I'd like to have.
Worst of all, I called Rogers for sync support, as I have done for years. Guess what? They've stopped supporting anything but their actual network connections, but didn't bother to tell their customers. There I was in a 'user down' situation, late for an appointment (missed it totally thanks to this), and they were telling me the most they can do is send an e-mail. or have me *pay* for the support that used to be free, selling me a 'premium support' package. Yikes!
So I clicked 'sync later' on the address book, and am looking for help before I try another sync tomorrow.
For example, ideas to help me manually over-ride the data field mapping from 'Main Fax' to 'Fax' in Blackberry Desktop Software.
Anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated!
I live in Canada, by the way, so if you are a Rogers customer in Canada, take note of their change in support.
Thank God I did a backup before I upgraded my Blackberry Desktop Software.
Environment:
Macbook Pro
Leopard o/s
Apple Address Book
Blackberry Desktop Manager Version 2.1.2 build 8
Blackberry 9700 Bold

Strange Problem with Mail & Address Book

Hi,
I'm having a strange problem with Mail & Address Book.
When I go to compose a new message from Mail and hit the Address button (to show my email addresses), it won't launch the contacts window!
I get this log from console;
2007-10-15 22:55:59.079 Mail[410] * -[NSCFArray objectAtIndex:]: index (0) beyond bounds (0)
If I try to launch the Address Book from my Applications folder, it won't open, and it gives me this log from console;
2007-10-15 22:57:57.348 Address Book[417] * -[NSKeyedUnarchiver initForReadingWithData:]: data is NULL
Oct 15 22:57:57 PB-G4 /Applications/Address Book.app/Contents/MacOS/Address Book: CGImageSourceCreateWithData data parameter is nil\n
2007-10-15 22:57:57.350 Address Book[417] Don't know about packed image EditLeftCapStd
2007-10-15 22:57:57.350 Address Book[417] Exception raised during posting of notification. Ignored. exception: * -[NSCFArray addObject:]: attempt to insert nil
If I quit Address Book, i'll get this from console;
2007-10-15 22:58:37.892 Address Book[417] -[ABAddressBook setDefaultCountryCode:] called with a unknown country code 'us'
I tried deleting the preferences, re-installing Address Book, also tried creating a new user, again no luck!
Can somebody help!!!
Please?!

Hi dp13.
Do you have any Address Book plug-ins or system utilities that could interfere with Address Book? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/Address\ Book\ Plug-Ins ~/Library/Address\ Book\ Plug-Ins
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.
<hr>
Did you also reinstall the appropriate Combo Update after reinstalling Address Book?
Quit all the applications and verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update for PowerPC
Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update for Intel
After installing the Combo Update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk and back up before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when i try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported

I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to Mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when I try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ian

If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts. There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

Problems sending mail: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

I can't send e mails: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

I had this same problem with both my imac and mac book pro using hotmail via mac mail with bt as my internet provider. Suddenly 4 months ago out of nowhere i could receive emails but could not send them. I scoured all the threads followed all the fixes none of them worked. However I just phoned apple support and fixed it in a matter of minutes. I am SO happy. This is what the technician advised me:
Go to your apple icon and scroll down to system preferences. Then dependant on what machine you have it is different for my imac and mac book pro click on either air port/wifi then the advanced tab in the bottom right hand corner. Then click on the DNS tab. Hit the + sign on the left hand side and type in 8.8.8.8 then hit the + sign again on the left hand side it will create a new line underneathe and type 8.8.4.4 then hit okay on the bottom right and then hit apply, again on the bottom right. Then send a test email to check but it should be fixed.
Had to share this. Its been driving me mad for months.

I am living in moscow, but i have a mastercard in vietnam. I changed my location in itunes from Russia into Vietnam. But when I change my billing info, and write my card's informations. It said I have problems with the address. I typed my address in VN.

I am living in moscow, but i have a mastercard in vietnam. I changed my location in itunes from Russia into Vietnam. But when I change my billing info, and write my card's informations. It said I have problems with the address. I typed my address in VN. What should I do now ????

To answer the second question first, the owners of the music (and that is not Apple) decide where their music can be sold. If they decide (for whatever reason) not to sell their music in a particular country, they will not let a music retailer (that is Apple this time) sell it in that country. So the "system" is beyond Apple's control.
As for your first post; (if I understand you correctly), the iTunes Store knows that you are in Russia, so using a credit card registered in Vietnam is simply going to look like you're trying to get round the system.
The credit card is tied to an address, and therefore to a country. Simply using a different country's address is not going to work.
By the way, this is a world-wide situation. It's not a matter of having to use a Russian card, whatever card you use has to be registered at an address in Russia.
Use the support link in the iTunes Store to contact Apple and see if you can straighten out whether you can buy songs, where ever you are and with whichever card you have.
