Sharing contacts

I was talking to an Apple Store Genius today, and he said I can share my contacts using family sharing.    But checking on this, I'm confused, and would like some guidance.
Right now, all iTunes purchases are using my e-mail address.   It used to use an ID of HowardBrazee, but I needed to change it when some featured needed the e-mail format.   I don't use it for anything except the Apple store.    I don't know how to associate it with an iCloud account - so I haven't gotten my own iCloud account.
My wife has an iCloud account based upon her .mac e-mail address she got years ago.    We share our contacts, our calendar, notes, keychain, & safari settings (I use a different browser when I log in as myself) - using her e-mail/iCloud account.    She has me editing contacts, calendar, & notes, telling me whenever she wants a change.    iPhoto is on my computer, and I periodically copy it over to hers.    Neither of us use mail on our phones - except I enable it when I want to accept a "Find My Friends" request because apparently that is now necessary.   We're retired and typing on phones is much more difficult than typing on real keyboards.    One trouble with this setup is "Find My Friends" sees us both as the same person.
From what the Apple Store Genius said, we should be able to have a family shared contacts (essential), shared Apple Store purchases, but not get my phone mixed up with hers in "Find My Friends" - I wouldn't need to log onto her iCloud account, but we still share our data.    If he is correct, what steps should I be looking at?

Hi Howard,
That is correct. You have to make sure your iTunes Settings and your iCloud settings have the correct Apple ID on your iPhone.
iCloud: Set up iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2609
iCloud: Set up iCloud
You set up iCloud on your devices by signing in and turning on the features you want to use on each device. Before you can sign in on your Windows computer, you must first install iCloud for Windows.
If you haven’t yet set up iCloud on your iOS device or Mac, you can set up iCloud without a device and access web-only features on iCloud.com.
Note: Some iCloud features have minimum system requirements. iCloud may not be available in all areas, and iCloud features may vary by area. For more information, visit the iCloud website.
Set up iCloud on a device:
Follow the instructions on the Set up iCloud website.
Important: Be sure to use the same Apple ID when you set up iCloud on each device.
When setting up iCloud, you sign in using your Apple ID. If you don’t have one, you can create one while signing in on an iOS device or Mac.
After using your Apple ID to set up iCloud on any iOS device or Mac, you can use all the iCloud.com features on your other devices by signing in with the same Apple ID.
Set up iCloud without a device:
Go to iCloud.com, click Sign up for iCloud, then follow the onscreen instructions to create an Apple ID you can use to sign in to iCloud.com and access web-only features.
Change iCloud feature settings
If you have trouble signing in to iCloud.com
Use iCloud.com apps

Cannot add shared Contacts in Open Directory from a client

Hello all
I need to transfer vCards from a local Address book to the Server and I need them to be shown in each client's Address book.
*Problem 1:* I cannot add or edit shared contact using the Directory app. from a client to a 10.5.3 Server. Only the Directory Admin credentials are valid. The client 10.5.5 is bound OK. The app is configured to use password, not Kerberos, and the Server is "responding normally" in the Directory Utility application.
I can even login as a mobile user with Network Home. Same there.
*Problem 2:* Ive put in Address Book the correct LDAP settings, but I cannot see a catalog of vCards. If I search using the search field, I get results, but I need them to be shown all as catalog.
Thanks in advance
Kostas

This turned out to be a reverse DNS configuration problem. Apple support suggested using a local ip address instead of my public host name. That worked so I looked into the reverse dns configuration. I fooled myself by thinking that if I could reach my host with my.host.com with other services like http, that my DNS was set up correctly. My reverse DNS originally resolved to my.host.com when it should have been something more like 123-456-789-103.cos.pcisys.net. Now I can reach my host from anywhere with the Directory application.

How do I stop two iphones sharing contacts?

How can I stop two iphones sharing contacts and apps?

Stop syncing them with the same address book or cloud service.

My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac. We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes. How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac. We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes. How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

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:
[email protected] (please use the link of this thread as the subject).
We appreciate your assistance with this.

Best Practice for Shared Contacts available as an Address Book in Outlook??

Yep so crazy that Microsoft still refuses (by design) to enable address book option for Shared contacts!!!!!!! So I am asking what do they suggest then for my clients to have a shared contact list that is available as an address book and available
to sync to your phone?
Problem:
I have a client that the boss has a contact list in his outlook that he has synced to his phone that is shared so that everyone else on his team can see the contacts, since it is a shared contact list users are not able to add it to their address book (by
design..nice design)
Solutions I know of:
1.Use public folder for contact list...= Nope public folder contact list will not sync with his iphone/ipad...(yes there are 3rd party tools but I would prefer to not go this route)
2.Sharepoint....I have heard this one but don't know much about it. How does it sync to outlook and phones? Is it seemless? can user add contacts in outlook?
3. ??
Seems like this would be a huge issue that microsoft would have fixed by now. Let me know if anyone has any ideas...
Sbs 2003 I will miss you !!!!

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:

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:

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?

Exchange 2010 with Outlook 2007 Shared Contacts with Attachments

We have an Exchange 2010 server. There is only one Exchange server so all roles are on this server.
Found out that sharing contacts between users misses something.
If a user has Attachments or Notes in their contacts we can see via the Attachment column in Contacts that there are attachments.
But another user viewing the shared Contacts of the user above, cannot see if the Contacts have Attachments unless they open each one. The Attachment column states there are no Attachments. Is this how it is? Is it a syncing issue?
The image I have attached is what the user sees accessing a shared contact address book. It shows Notes and the Attachments columns. The contacts with partial words visible in the Notes column should have a Paper Clip Icon as they also have attached items.

Hi,
There is no related feature in Exchange server to manage Outlook view.
Additionally, I shared my Contact with another user in my Exchange 2010 SP3 with Outlook 2013 environment. And it showed the same results as yours. The attachments icon was not shown in the list view in another user’s Outlook but it appeared in my own Contact.
Thanks,

Importing Shared Contacts into the Global Address List (Outlook 2013)

A colleague of mine has made a contact list which is going to be shared with other colleagues to increase productivity.
His question is, if it's possible to import the contact list into the Global Address List after it has been shared?
The contact list does not appear in my Global Address List, instead it appears in the People section (next to Calender).
If you need technical info about the office version etc., feel free to ask!
Thanks in advance.

SP-Brown,
You can import contacts into Active Directory, so that it can be included in GAL. There are some gotchas with that however. Maybe, a simple Outlook folder sharing is more convenient for you. You can share Outlook Contacts folders among collagues just the
same as Outlook Calendar sharing works. Start here:
https://support.office.com/en-au/article/Share-an-Outlook-calendar-with-other-people-cafb9303-1b1e-40d3-839d-b6abac03a5e8
https://support.office.com/en-in/article/Share-a-contacts-folder-with-others-58ca1290-e170-4f89-a213-03aa6750bcf3
With Exchange Public Folders you can achieve somewhat the same.
If you really want to mess with AD and the GAL, this is your article:

Jan
The ideal situation would be if the shared Contacts Folder shows up in the Offline GAL, but I'll try to fiddle around with it for a bit.
Is there also a possibilty that users can import a contact list so that appears in their Offline GAL?, I do think that it might be a hassle to keep the contacts updated....

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.

Third party application can list contacts from shared contacts folder, but not retrieve

I am working with a third party developer on a problem occurring in their application.<o:p></o:p>
The software displays the contact list and retrieves a fax number from Outlook. I wish to
return a number from an Outlook Shared Contacts Folder.
This works well under Windows 7 with Outlook 2013 in cached mode..<o:p></o:p>
Running the same software in a terminal services window on a Remote Desktop Server running
Server 2008 R2 with Outlook in Online mode an error is produced when trying to
do the same. The contact list is shown, but when the code tries to retrieve the
displayed record there is the following error:<o:p></o:p>
x664bc8bcf689f252.x36f18e7b3c08fff5()
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040201): The operation failed.
at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.AddressEntry.GetContact()
at Zetadocs.Outlook.OM.x664bc8bcf689f252.x36f18e7b3c08fff5()<o:p></o:p>
If I open Outlook myself first, browse to People and click on the Shared Contacts Folder,
then run the application, there is no error and everything works fine. It is as
if starting Outlook from code is not loading all contact folder information.<o:p></o:p>
Have you any suggestions on what may be causing this to happen and if I can do anything to cure this?<o:p></o:p>

Sorry to be away from this for so long.
It looks like Outlook is not initializing shared folders when it starts.
I confirmed this using the following code for the Outlook startup event:
Private Sub Application_Startup()
    Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim nspNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
    Dim objTempFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
    Set olApp = ThisOutlookSession.Application
    Set nspNameSpace = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    For Each objTempFolder In nspNameSpace.Folders
    Next objTempFolder
End Sub
With this in place I do not need to go to People and click the shared folder, and the third party app has no problems retrieving.
The third party app starts Outlook itself if it is not already running. In this scenario no events fire.
So the question is: Is there a means of executing this code when the third party app starts Outlook?

Sharing contacts with icloud

My iPad2 and iphone4s are no longer sharing contacts with icloud. I have checked everything I can think of. Please help

Thanks, both were checked, but I decided to turn off contacts on on the iPad, kept contacts, then turned on again. That worked at least so far. Thanks for helping me get my brain working!!

Synch Outlook Shared Contacts

I have a user who needs to access her boss's contacts(as well as her own) on her blackberry. Her email etc is handled thru Outlook 2007/Exchange 2007 / BES. Her Outlook contacts synch correctly but her boss's shared contacts are not being synched to the device. She says that it has been working up until last week. Any help in getting this to work would be appreciated.

Way old this but still needs correcting. Above answer is not accurate - you can sync multiple contact Dbs off an exchange server. Turn off PIM wireless sync for this user in BES then use Desktop Manager to select one or more public folders containing contact info to sync with device along with the users own contacts in their mailbox. In this example I believe that if the Boss's mailbox (and the contacts folder specifically) is shared with editorial permissions for the PA, then if she adds this mailbox to her Outlook profile such that she can see his contacts folder, then she will be able to select them in Desktop Manager. Haven't tried this myself but switching off wireless sync and use Desktop Manager and manual sync'ing is the way to go
