Shared Contacts and Categories issue

I have a user JohnDoe who shared his contacts with user B and user C.
User JohnDoe has uniquely categorized all of his contacts.
User B can see all of the shared JohnDoe categorizations properly.
User C cannot see any of the unique categorizations of JohnDoe, but only her own default set.
Both users B and C have Editor delegated permissions to the
Contacts of JohnDoe with:
Create items checked, Read items checked, Folder Visible, Edit itmes - All, Delete items - All.
In the Root folder (DataFile) properties of User C - Color categorizations are upgraded.
How can we fix this so that User C can see all of the unique categorizations?
Thanks!

Hi,
Both user B and user C should be able to see the Categories. There are two things I suspect:
1. The user C opened JohnDoe's contacts folder in her Outlook before she got the appropriate permission.
2. The user C's local cache caused the problem.
To verify the problem, we can have the user C modify the shared contacts' categories, check whether the change will reflect to JohnDoe's Outlook Contacts. If no, probably the local cache is out of date or corrupted.
An easy way is to have the user C remove the Shared Contacts folder from her Outlook and re-add it.
One more way, if the user C is using Cached Exchange Mode, have her switch to Outlook Online Mode and check the result. Or if the user C has checked "Download shared folders" from FILE -> Account Settings -> Account Settings -> Double
click on the account name -> More Settings -> Advanced tab, uncheck this option to abandon the local cache, check if the problem persists.

How to Import Contacts and Categories from outlook 2007 to outlook 2010

Hi,
I cannot import my contacts/categories from Outlook 2007 to OUtlook 2010. I have tried using a.csv file but it forces Outlook to stop responding every time it starts to import. Not sure how I do it using a .pst data file. Please help!

You can try to export/import categories using OutlookFreeware.com's
free
Export Master Category List and
Import Master Category List tools. There are also free utilities for
exporting contacts and
importing contacts, give it a try!Alexey Kuznetsov,

Delete your account in 1. "Settings > iCloud" + 2. "Settings > Messages > Send & Receive" + 3. "Settings > FaceTime", but still let them using your account for iTunes and app purchases in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Of course, please make sure that they do not know your password to set up your account for iCloud again or purchase anything alone.

Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac sync Contacts and Calendar issues

OK, so I have a Macbook Pro with OS X Mountian Lion. I have Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac installed. Asked @BlackberryHelp on Twitter how to sync my Blackberry Torch with Outlook as it seems to default to using the builtin Apple Contacts and Calendar instead of Outlook. So they sent me the link to KB19148: "How to synchronize organizer data in Microsoft Office for Mac between the BlackBerry smartphone and a Mac computer using BlackBerry Desktop Software". So I turned on the Sync Services in Outlook and it gave me the dialog box confirming that everything was synced. And it appeared to copy and sync whatever Contacts in the Apple Contacts and calendar entries in the Apple Calendar into Outlook and vice versa. Cool since that's what I wanted.
Then I tried using the Blackberry Desktop Manager to sync everything to my Blackberry Torch 9810. Everything looked like it synced until I opened my Blackberry and all my Contacts were gone. Same with my Calendar entries, except that the Calender entries were hit and miss to whatever copied over (some Calendar entries were missing and others were duplicates). Checked the Apple Contacts and all of them were gone. But when I opened Outlook, everything was there and all OK.
So am I missing something? Turning on Sync Services in Outlook should sync all my Contacts and Calendar with my Blackberry when I use Blackberry Desktop Manager, correct? So why is it still syncing with the Apple Contacts and Calendar (and why did it delete all my Apple Contacts and mess up my Apple Calendar)?
Good thing I backed everything up first so restored everything. But I have all my updated Contacts and Calendar in Outlook and I still need to sync all of that. I don't want to manually do it. So how do I fix this??

After a bit of googling I think you mean the notation "domain\username", i.e., a backslash separator but no leading backslash.
I am not familiar with that notation but apparently it is valid in some contexts. I googled "os x "domain\username"" to confirm this notation. Here's one of the hits that shows the notation:
OS X Lion: Guidelines for connecting to a DFS namespace via SMB
I think "DFS" is a distributed file system. That's as much as I know about this.

HT1692 iPhone shows duplicate contacts and categories and will not sync. help

Contacts are not syncing, iphone has duplicates in contacts and groups and I don't seam to be able to over-ride or replace duplicates.
Have any Ideas?

That's usually a USB timing error. I would unplug the phone and replug it in, also try different USB ports and cords if you've got 'em. Make sure your iTunes program is up to date as well

Native Contacts and Calendar Issues

I can't seem to find my way around this. When I set up an appointment using the PlayBook Local calendar I can't send an invite to other attendees, I receive a message saying the account does not have an associated email account. I have a Gmail and Hotmail account connected to my PlayBook so I'm unsure what it's asking for. When I set an appointment using my gmail account I don't even have an attendee option. The other issue is that when I accept a Facebook event it doesn't recognize the other attendees as people in my contacts. This means they may show up as a person I'm meeting that day but if I select them I can't see any future meetings. After changing my FaceBook email from an old address to my current email I no longer can see any FaceBook events on my PlayBook, which is even more frustrating than the other issues.
With the native contacts app I put in my own information and my 2 email accounts and LinkedIn accout were all recognized and linked, however my Facebook and Twitter acounts were not found. Furthermore, I can not add those accounts to my contact card manually. I've had similar issues not being able to manually add a LinkedIn account to a contacts information. Is this a glitch or something I'm doing wrong?

Contacts and categories in address book multiple duplicates

Hello; I am not talking about having one duplicate but 200-300 of a single contact or a category. So please do not redirect this on the usual sync+icloud discussions...
I have resetted my AB but today they started multiplying like rabbits again.
I noticed that on my mac and I immediately disconnected iclould: contacts on icloud have not been affected so I guess the problem is on this machine.
I also had added a new category 3 days ago and it did not show un on iCloud, so something is definetively happening here.
Only things I am doing is working on the iCloud control panel, deseletting and reselecting the contact box, deleting all the contacs on this machine and then pulling again the information from icloud.
Any suggestion on how to solve this?
Best,
Giuseppe

Try the steps I outline here: After Lion upgrade, my addressbook does not work++
Note that with iCloud (or any other address server) there is a Sources folder with subfolders for each address server source info. Those folders also contain an addressbook-v22.abcddb file that you should delete.
And, as someone recently pointed out, I originally called the file addressbook.abcddb, which it is not.

CK 15 W Contacts and Display issues (Lousy Product...

Why does the CK 15w only read the Last Name of contacts, yet the N73 searches on both
Even thought the contacts are stored as Firstname lastname is "File As" field.
And..
Why does it not display SSI, Battwery and Operator name when it apparently should (really useful out here in Australia - mind you though the N73 display the Location data from more than 3 weeks ago.... when it displays irt, whcih is very very rare. and when it does, it disappears in a microsecond when bluetooth is activated
And....
Why does the CK 15W - Professionally installed, (and checked by myself a certified avionics engineer who knows ground, 12v and ignition sense from day 1 of electronics 101) contanstly lose memory overnight, but can retain memory for half an hour when unplugged for long enough when trying to clear the memory by power off.
And ....... the car kits frequenjtly re-sets when on a call
And ...........the phone frequently locks up when doing almost anything
And ............... the bookmarks don't sync to anywhere that can be seen on the PC or the phone, apart from the nokia ones

Facebook contacts and icloud issue

Let me get these specs out first, 5s with 8.1.1. Ive contacted apple and since its not their app I understand so Im reaching out to the community for help. I have my icloud contacts on my phone but with facebook they are supposed to be linked together including profile pics. Had this on my android and its a fun feature I enjoy. Now my problem is this, they dont sync like they are supposed to. Each contact has that persons fb profile in the contact but nothing more. When I show all my fb contacts on my phone profile pics from users that I dont have saved with phone contact info, etc..that info shows up including pictures, but icloud contact info it just shows the grey box with initals. Cant merge them either from Icloud. Hope this made sense the way I wrote it. Thanks.

iCloud is only supposed to sync contacts in iCloud. It's not supposed to sync Yahoo, Facebook and Hotmail. Those are separate services which have their own sync functions you setup independently.

KB2687455 (SP2 for Office 2010) Breaks Outlook Searches of Shared Contacts/Calendars

Hello, everyone! I would love to know if anyone else is experiencing these issues.
I am an IT Network Technician for several clients that have had issues searching in shared contacts and/or calendars in Outlook 2010. These users are using Office 2010 in Citrix/Remote Desktop Services environments. When these servers automatically
download and install KB2687455, the users can no longer perform searches in shared contacts/calendars. They receive an error stating, "The requested Upon removing this update, and having the user close and re-open Outlook, the search functionality is
restored. Surprisingly, a reboot is not required to restore searching.
Is Microsoft aware of this issue? If so, what is being done to correct it? If not, is anyone else experiencing similar symptoms?
Our firm has already observed similar failure of the search functionality in Outlook 2010 due to the installation of another Windows Update, KB2956128. The issues with that update are already well-documented, based on a preliminary Google search,
and we have blocked the installation of that update, where possible, until we are informed of a fix for it from Microsoft. Any information on the repair of that update would also be much appreciated.

Hi,
Both KB2956128 and KB2956203 seem to cause this issue to some of our users, as you mentioned KB2956128, have you checked KB2956203? If you have installed this KB, uninstall it to check the result.
If it is KB2956203, we have been aware of some issues caused by the recent updates, and would like to collect more information for further investigation.
Can you guys share your detailed system info? Also, if you have any log files about the issue, kindly share with us by sending them to this email account:

We appreciate your assistance with this.

Outlook 2013 (how to share Custom "Views" for shared Contacts/Journals)

Environment: Office 2013 Client (Office 365 E3)
I have shared Contacts and Journals with other users.
I have a custom View for each, how do I share the "View"?

Hi,
Custom view won't be shared when you share your Contacts or Journals. You'll need to copy the views you want to share to a pst-file and then share the pst file to others.
To do this, please refer to the following link and look at the "Method 3: Copy views to a Views_backup.pst" section:
http://www.outlook-tips.net/how-to/copy-outlook-custom-views/

1. Connect your Z10 to the wall outlet charger for an hour and then with the Z10 powered on, and with it STILL CONNECTED, remove the battery for a minute and replace. This will normally reset the the on-device battery meter and allow the charging status and percentage to show more correctly.

How can i synchronize different contacts and different calendars with different iOS devices using the same Apple ID and iTune ID?

I have the following situation. 1 Apple ID. 1 iTune account. I have 2 ipads and 2 iPhones
1- I would like to have a set of 1 ipad and 1 iphone (mine) sharing the same contacts and calendar entries (synching from outlook)
2- I would like to have another set of 1 ipad and 1 iphone (my wife's) sharing contacts and calendar entries but obviously these would be a different set of contacts and calendar entries than mine
How can I set up my four devices to do this?
Thanks for your help
Cheers

Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.

Outlook Shared Contacts Sync Issue

**Before i start, i posted this in the Outlook section and was told to post it the Outlook for Exchange section.. So i posted this in the Outlook for Exchange section and the Moderator tells me to post it in the
Outlook section.. So i'm being thrown in a loop back and forth between two forums. Please help me either post it in the correct section or help me with my issue. Links to my posts are at the bottom of this re-post.**
I have a user who adds emails to the "Notes" section of a shared contact. It has worked in the past. She now drags and drops the email into the notes folder, it shows that the email was added, she saves the contact, closes the contact,
then reopens the contact and the information/email that was added is no longer there.
Also, when she opens up the contact, on the top of the window it says "This item was not completely updated during the last server synchronization"
On the bottom of the contact's window it says "Last modified by [email protected] on 11/19/2014" So it doesn't seem to have updated for about 5 months.
The user is on Outlook 2010 - Cached Mode - Windows 7
We use Exchange 2013
We have checked her sync issues folder and see two messages pertaining to this shared contact.

Hi Allen,
Neither are correct. They open a contact in their address book and drag the email into the "Notes" section of the contact. So they do not drag the email into the Notes section of Outlook nor the Contacts section to create a new contact.
There are no errors. I have a screenshot with an example contact card but i can't add it because it says i need to verify my account.. I'm not sure how to do that. I already clicked on the verification email. For example. An email
to me from Bill titled "company announcement" is dragged into the notes section of in Bill's contact card. This is so that i can go to my contacts, click on bill's card, and see emails from him that are important saved inside his contact card.
After dragging the email into this location, I hit save and close the contact card. Usually the email stays there in the notes section but lately when I reopen the contact card, the email that I dropped into the Notes section has disappeared. Other
emails are still in the Notes section but new ones just don't stay.
Just tried doing a Send/Receive All and same issue. User is in cached mode because they have a large mailbox. Can try online mode. Do you know if the Notes section in the contact list has
a size limit?
