Shared user contacts in Outlook Address book

Hello,
     I have an issue that a user who is an administrative assistant wants her bosses shared contacts (which she helps manage) to show up in her personal Outlook Address Book, so that she can send people contacts by just clicking the TO: button. This is has proved deceptivly difficult. Any thoughts?
     Oh, this is an Exchange 2007 SP1 server, and both of the client pcs are Outlook 2007.
    If we can get that up and running, she would also like to be able to export his contacts from her terminal in the CSV format.
Thanks,
Nathan

Has anyone had any luck with Will Shepherd's/James-Luo's method or something similar for use with Microsoft's Office 365 Exchange 2010 system?
I followed the steps and, indeed, on my Admin/User A's OL2010, the address book did list the shared contacts. But as soon as I selected it, it gave the error:
"The address list cannot be displayed. The contact folder associated with this address list could not be opened; It may have been moved or deleted, or you do not have permissions. For information on how to remove this folder from the
Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft Outlook Help."
The shared contact folder then dissappeared from the list.
I didn't really understand Will's step 2 which James does not include. I don't know what "Full" mailbox rights meant. The permission levels shown are Owner, Publishing Editor, Author, Nonediting Author, Reviewer, Contributor, and none.
Setting it to Owner did not work, as in the profile, I could not change the email address back from Boss/User B to Admin/User A. I chose Publishing editor and added a check mark for Folder Contact.
I tried these methods on numerous new OL profiles and got the same results whether the shared contacts where the the first set or a secondary set and whether or not I sent invitiations for sharing from Boss/User A, which sets the permissions.
What good are shared contacts, Microsoft, if you can't use them? This seems like such a basic issue that, surely, I and others have a major misunderstanding about something.
If it matters, this client does not have Sharepoint and only has the Office 365 Plan 1 with its mailboxes.
I would greatly appreciate any hint on how to make the contacts sharable and USEABLE. Otherwise this client will likely scrap Office 365 and I will reinstall Sync2 which worked fairly well.

ICloud for Windows Not Displaying Contacts in Outlook Address Book

I am trying to setup my iCloud account in Outlook 2013. I have installed the iCloud Control Panel applet and it is all setup fine, I can see all my emails, my contacts are in the people section and I can see my Calendars in the Calendar section. But when I try to search my contacts in the Address Book window there are no Contacts to search. When I try to make the contacts visible in the address book by right clicking on the contacts folder the option is greyed out.
I have read everything I can find about it online and tried every trick that I have come across but nothing seems to work. I have tried changing the default data file, I have tried recreating the PST files and signing in and out of iCloud reinstall the iCloud control panel Applet. Nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have this working? If so how did you do it?
Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
Kind Regards,

Address books aren't email.
You need to export them from yahoo and import them to Thunderbird. Yahoo will probably offer CSV ("comma separated values") format which Thunderbird can use.

HT4489 How can I synchronize contacts between Apple Address Book/iPhone address book and Outlook (I'm on Mac OX10.7.4 and using Office 2011)?

I appear to have done what I should to move to iCloud on my Mac, MacbookAir, iPhone and iPad. Using Outlook 2011 on the iMac and unable to sync contacts between Outlook and my Apple Address Book and iPhone over the cloud. I gather lots of people have the same problem but some appear to have solved it... any ideas?
Also, in some sync, I managed to duplicate the entries on the Address Book on my Mac, whereas the iCloud Address Book is ok. How can I replace the Address Book on my computer with the one on iCloud?
Thank You for any help!

Hi Lucy, I had the same problem with Outlook data sync. Once you've enabled iCloud all your contacts are moved to iCloud and are no longer stored on Mac, that's why Outlook cannot reach them - there is simply nothing to reach as data physically stored in cloud.
I use SyncMate to solve this problem. This app allows connecting and syncing numerous devices and accounts with your Mac and they have recently added iCloud into this list (here the page where they describe sync with iCloud http://www.sync-mac.com/cloud-sync.html ).
This is how I established sync of my Outlook data with iCloud via this app.
1. SyncMate syncs only that data which is located on your Mac so you will need to move your contacts back to Address Book on mac from iCloud and disable iCloud for contacts (in order they were stored on Mac, not in iCloud).
2. You install SyncMate and add iCloud as a new connection (depending on data you want to sync you need to choose "Cloud contacts" or "Cloud calendars" connection in SyncMate wizard and log into your iCloud via SyncMate). Once you've done this, you can sync data on Mac with iCloud via SyncMate.
3. I may assume that automatic sync option is enabled in Outlook preferences (as previously your contacts on Mac were synced with Outlook). If no - please, enable it (got to Outlook preferences).
4. Once all this done, data will be automatically synced betwen Outlook and iCloud (latter via SyncMate). The trick of SyncMate is that data is physically located on your Mac (thus ensuring it will be synced with other devices and accounts SyncMate supports, as I said before, SyncMate works with data which is located on Mac), but you still can have it in iCloud (sync will be performed via SyncMate, no need to enable iCloud itself).
5. And of course, you will be able to sync your iPhone contacts with your Mac (SyncMate supports sync with iPhones also). These contacts will be also synced to Outlook.

New users are not updated in Outlook address book (Offline)

Hi All,
We are having an Exchange 2010 environment. from few weeks we are experiencing this issue. When we create new user or change the name of a existing user, it is not updated in outlook address book. Can anyone help me to sort this issue?.
Regs,
Sachitha.

What is the Outlook client you are using? Is it 2003 or 2007+
You are right, you don;t have to update the OAB manually, the kind of issue you are facing is very know (As far as I experienced). After you update the OAB manually, check the issue and it should be fine.
After that create a Test User and check in Outlook if you see it populated.

How do i sync Outlook for Mac contacts with apples address book ???

How do I sync outlook for Mac 2011 contacts with Address book. I updated the itunes or apple updates and it erased my contacts from the address book. I did have is set up where the they automaticaly updated back and forth but now I can not find how to check this. Bottom line I want my contacts back to address book. ??????? anyone.

Outlook for Mac doesn't support contact (or calendar) syncing with iCloud because Microsoft chose not to include the CardDAV (and CalDAV) protocals that are required (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915). You'll have to use the OS X Address Book (Contacts) app to sync with iCloud.

New created user does appear in the outlook address book

My exchange server is 2007. I create a new new user in the exchange server. However, with outlook address book I did not see it. With OWA, I can see that user. Therefore, I am sure that Global address book works well. BTW, with those command
Update-OfflineAddresssBook -Identity "Default Offline Address Book"
Update-GlobalAddressList -Identity "Default Global Address List"
I still did not see the new created user in outlook address book.
I tried my outlook 2010 as well. I tried the action to download addressbook. Not working either. What shall I do?

Hi,
According to your description, the new mailbox doesn’t appear in Outlook while it’s visible in OWA.
Before going further, I’d like to recommend you check if it’s visible in Outlook with online mode.
If it is, the issue is most likely related to OAB. And we can try to download a new OAB and restart related services.
For more detail steps, you can refer to the answer in the following thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/626dd301-12a5-4196-9bc8-9f3ec7ef3259/new-user-not-show-up-in-gal-on-outlook
If it doesn’t show up in online mode, we can try to check if the new mailbox is visible in GAL on another computer. For more information about OAB downloading and updating, please refer to:

Is it possible to keep Contact List and Address Book seperate on iPhone?

I just made the switch today- big time – from Motorola to iPhone, and from PC to iMac, plus a Macbook Air as well for travel. Thanks to iphone and Mac forums I have been able to resolve most newbie issues and have exported my data, files and contacts without problem.
However there is one issue I have not been able to resolve or clarify:
- My old phone contact list has now been transferred my new iPhone, consisting of about 100 phone numbers which I use regularly.
- Address Book in my new iMac contains about 800 contacts including phone numbers, clients, etc, as well as personal bank account numbers, and other confidential data in the “Notes” field, which I need to refer to only occasionally.
But I understand that if I sync my iPhone with my Mac, it will merge my Address Book contacts on Mac, with the phone contacts on my iPhone Contact list, into one list. Is this true? Is it not possible to maintain 2 separate Apps on my iPhone, i.e
1. The iPhone Contact list for frequently used telephone contacts, and
2. The Mac Address Book with more detailed notes and account numbers, which I only need to refer to occasionally?
3. If this is possible, can I configure it so that a password is required each time the Address Book on iPhone is accessed? (I realise I can configure the iphone to require a pin when turned on), but I would like a password to access the Address App because of the confidential data. Previously I had all this data contained on a Palm Zire 72 handheld and its PC Desktop counterpart, where a password was required to access.
From what I’ve read on the forums, it will be very cumbersome to have a phone contact list with 1000 names on it, so I want to keep phone contacts simple with phone numbers only. (I realise I can set up Group folders in Address Book, but this is not what I need). I'm also concerned about having confidential information on my iPhone which can be accessed without a password for that particular application. I intend to get MobileMe but that also does not address the issue of keeping Telephone Contacts seperate from Address Book on iPhone.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Speculating:
if, as already suggested, you use the Groups function to sync only the 100 contact list numbers, then how to get the expanded Address Book?
I've not used it myself, but Bento might be worth looking into--Bento on the Mac pulls your Address Book data (I'm pretty sure) and syncs to Bento iPhone.
I don't recall hearing about any alternate phone books, but since pretty much any program on the Mac can hook into the Address Book, you might look at the more powerful note organizers to see if any of them pull that data?
You might have a problem getting notes added on the phone back into Address Book on the Mac, though.
I actually right now keep my main address book in MS Entourage (similar to Outlook), and only use the Mac Address Book to sync to the iPhone. I could sync Entourage to Address Book, but I don't--haven't sorted out the data yet, and I don't really need all the same numbers in both places.
If that sounds possible, you might look at Mark/Space and Missing Sync for iPhone---something like keeping all 800 contacts in Entourage, and syncing them all, but moving the confidential portion of each contact into Entourage Notes and syncing those via Missing Sync, perhaps might work. (I think you can link a contact to a note in Entourage)
An interesting problem. You might also send feedback to Apple:
http://apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
as this is really not a usage scenario they've planned for. They probably don't care, though--doesn't seem all that common.

How do i delete all my contacts in mail address book

how so i delete all my contacts in mail address book, i have 1,042,000 blank contacts.

In Lion, the user's LIBRARY folder is hidden. So, it's not visible automatically.
Open Finder.
At the menu items at the top of your screen, click on GO (where you see Finder, File, Edit, View, Go, Help)
Next within the GO options, select the 'Go to Folder' option. You will see a window open to enter text.
Enter ~/Library and click the GO button.
Now you'll be in your user LIBRARY where you need to be to get to your address book file previously mentioned.
You want to open the Application Support folder then from inside there open the AddressBook folder. Then you can follow Barney's instructions.

Oracle views as MS Outlook address book

Hi again.
During the developing of our Apex enterprise portal, I've compiled a complete set of views managing customers, employees and suppliers information, in an address book format, where you can click over an address, and automatically opening an outgoing e-mail.
After this, all is a MS Outlook and Internet provider issue, and this don't worry me.
But each user, separately manage MS Outlook address books, and obviously this is the opposite what a DBA want to see in his IT infrastructure.
At this point you can suppose we haven't any kind of e-mail server but a direct connection between the PC client and the ISP. It's right, but I would be happy creating an (easy) relation between the database and the mail client.
Somebody believe it could be easy to implement?
Thanks a lot.

Sounds like want you want is an LDAP directory on top of your existing tables / views. You can point Outlook (or any other mail client such as Thunderbird) at an LDAP directory to use as their address book. Oracle Virtual Directory is a perfect fit here, since you can map your existing tables to LDAP structures. Oracle Internet Directory is another option, but it has it's own table structure and might be more trouble than it's worth.

Submitting InfoPath form via Outlook Address book.

Hi there,
Is it possible to have an info path form used so that there is a submit button and the user is able to choose the email address of their choice to have the form sent? Right now I only see the option of configuring a data connection with a pre filled in email
address.
Example. I create a form. A user opens it and needs to submit it to one person in our organization, possibly from the Outlook address book.
I see a people picker but that does not allow you to submit.
Thank you.

Hi SarahShay,
You can use a people picker to store the people that you want to email, then create a submit button configured to send the form by e-mial to the people of the people picker.
More information, please refer to the link:
http://redcapeco.wordpress.com/2010/09/20/create-a-submit-button-in-an-infopath-form-to-email-recipients/
I hope this helps.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get CUCIMOC to look up the Outlook Address book of a user so that when an incoming call comes through you can see the callers name on the screen pop ?
I have looked for some information on this but I am as yet unsuccessful at getting it working.
If someone has an idea please let me know.
Cheers

Hi
Anyone has done this. Appreciate if you can help.

Adobe form connecting to Outlook address book.

Hi there,
I would like to create an adobe form and have users be able to send it to anyone they like within the organization. Is it possible to have a submit button that when clicked on opens up the Outlook address book so they can choose the person they wish?
Thank you.

Access to the address book is not allowed as fas as I know.
What do you mean by a printed PDF version .....do you mean you do not want any interaction with the form?

I want iPhone Contacts to override Address Book on Mac #2

I have updated my Address Book in my MacBook Pro and have synced it with my iPhone - so I'm finally good there.
However, I am trying to update my iMac and need to update the Address Book there. I don't want to sync it at this point - I want to wipe the iMac Address Book clean and start anew with the iPhone.
Any tips on how to do this?

Hi Im running on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 with the updated version of iTunes.
I just recently changed from using Outlook for Mac to using iCal and Mail. Outlook for mac was my main platform for contacts and calanders. When switching over, i managed to sort out my calanders into iCal, but my contacts do not seem to copy into my address book. All my updated contact are in my iPhone. iTunes still shows options to sync to groups i created in outlook even though i have totally deleted outlook.
I basically want to syc all my iPhone contact to my Address book and override the contacts I have in there already, and use address book as my contacts platform.
Help!

Icloud will not let me put new e-mail address into Outlook Address book

iCloud went and put all e-mail address into my Outlook address book well iCloud duplacated some of the address and when I went to clean them I deleted a few address so when I went to reinstall the address in my address book icloud would not let me install them.

Your contacts will be removed from your phone when you delete the account. Then (when you sign in again with your new ID) they will be put back.

IPhone Contacts - OS X Address Book sync

I'm a new iphone user. For some reason, my Address Book application is not syncing with my iphone contact list. When I set up the iphone, the contacts in the address book went straight to the phone. But, when I've added new contacts on the phone, I can't find a way to automatically sync those into my Address Book. There appears to be a way to do this on the iTunes sync options, but the box is grey and won't allow me to check it. Is it possible to have contacts entered into the phone sync with the Address Book Function on my PowerBook?

Yes this is possible - the sync function for Address Book contacts and iCal calendar events is bi-directional with the iPhone - or should be.
You indicate there appears to be no way to do this via the iTunes sync options but the box is gray and won't allow you to select it which sounds contradicting.
Under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, is "Sync Address Book contacts" selected?
If so, this is the selection and do you have "All contacts" or " Selected groups" selected below?
This should do it.
