User unable to edit contacts

I have a user with Outlook 2013 connected to an 2010 Exchange Server. I have a user that is unable to edit any existing contact, getting an error: Your changes cannot be saved because you don't have permission to modify some or all of the items in this folder.
Do you want to save a copy of this item in the default folder for the item?
I have checked the permissions on the mailbox folder as well as the Contacts folder. The user has "Owner" permission to these folders.
No other users report the problem, and loading the users account on another computer demonstrates the same problem.
Any ideas what I am missing?

Hi,
The error indicates that the issue is related to permission. I recommend you use the Get-MailboxPermission -Identity xxx |fl cmdlet to check if the permission is right. What's more, please check if OWA has the same issue.
If the issue persists, I recommend you remove the owner permission at first. Secondly, use the following cmdlet to add the owner permission and check the result.
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity "xxx" -Owner "xxx"
Hope it helps.
Best regards,
Amy

Mavericks: Unable to edit Contacts

I am using iCloud syncing and able to edit contacts in iOS.
Unable to do any sort of edits on my Contacts and have been unable to find the AddressBook folder to verify file permissions.
What would be the best way to resolve?
thanks.

First, make sure all of your contacts are in the iCloud web page.
Second, export your contacts to an Contacts Archive using the command in the File menu, Export > Contacts Archive.
If you have ON MY MAC contacts, select them all and File > Export > Export vCard
Close Contacts. If they are in several Groups, export each group individually so you can restore the groups easily.
Uncheck Contacts from iCloud system preferences. Have it delete the contacts on your Mac.
The AddressBook folder is in your user/Library/Application Support folder.
To get there, hold down the Option key and select Library from the Go menu in Finder.
Browse to the AddressBook folder and delete everything in it.
Re-enable Contacts in the iCloud System Preferences.
Open Contacts and test.
If you need to restore ON MY MAC contacts, recreate all of your groups and go to Contacts Preferences and set the Default Account to ON MY MAC. Then, double-click each group vCard to import them. You'll have a Last Import Smart Group which will contain all the contacts you just imported. Select all and drag them into the original Group.

User unable to edit document in protected mode until 'enable all features' is selected everytime.

In light of the most recent vulnerabilities identified in version 10.1.1 and the instructions in - http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-04.html
to use protected mode, I have informed my customers how that should be performed. However, I have at least one user that is unable to edit their document until they select the ' enable all features' function. Even after they do that, and the specific file is listed in the in the security (enhanced) > priviledged locations list, the user is required to select 'enable all features' every time for this file.
Can someone tell me a solution?

>Where are you seeing the "enable all features function"?

Unable to edit contact

Hi, I'm not able to edit contacts. The edit button is missing. Please help.

I had the same problem,
I created a google exchange account
http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740
Once it was enabled and running, i turned off the mail/contacts/calender etc
I was then able to edit the contacts.
Then i deleted the account

Unable to edit contacts

After updating to iOS4, I am not able to edit the contacts in my iPhone 3GS. The edit button is missing.
However, in messages app, when i am trying to send a message, I am able to get the contacts stored and I am even able to edit them from there.
I have not seen this problem reported by anyone else here. Can someone help me with this?

I was having the same problem - no way to edit contacts but it seems to be resolved now. I have been using gmail set up as an exchange account to sync calendar entries for some time. Yesterday I also enabled contact sync for this account to try to keep my contacts more in sync by using google's push capability.
This afternoon I decided to turn it back off as I decided I don't like the way phone number "types" are mapped in the sync process and installed the "soocial" app for contact syncing and it is working better for me. I synced soocial with gmail and then synced my iphone to soocial which did a reload of all my contacts. This is when the "missing" + and edit buttons problem appeared.
I tried powering down the phone and restarting (which has cured several other unexplained iOS4 glitches) but no change. I tried getting to contacts by launching the contacts app and through the phone and messaging apps but could not find any way to get the edit function back.
Finally in frustration I decided to turn the google sysnc function for contacts back on. When I went beck into contacts and selected the 'All on My iPhone' group my contacts were all there and the edit functions had all reappeared.
I went back to settings and disabled the google contacts again (selecting 'delete google contacts from my phone') and everything still works.
Can't explain why this worked but it did.

User unable to edit SP documents (Excel in particular) by clicking on Edit Workbook - Edit in Excel

Strange problem..
Site is on 2013 (it is hosted in Office 365) and the user is running IE9. Just recently updated from IE8 where there was no problem.
The issue is when she browses to an Excel document on the site and then clicks "Edit Workbook" and then "Edit in Excel" - the window stating "We're opening your workbook in Microsoft Excel..." appears, but it never
actually launches Excel. She can then click on "Edit in Excel Online" and it works, but she prefers to work out of the Excel client.
IF she has the foresight to click the "..." on the document and chooses the option to Edit from there, the site launches Excel and she is able to work as expected.
She has tried on multiple documents as well as on a document in her OneDrive. All behave the same.
I am able to launch this (also IE9 on a machine) without issue. She is able to launch in Firefox/Chrome and it works. Editing it online is just fine too, no matter which browser. We updated the Office install to the latest
version.
So the only trouble seems to be IE9, her machine, clicking the edit in excel option after you have opened up the work book. The IE9 settings should be pretty standard for our company's build so why her machine is not working is not clear.
Any ideas on what to check or change?

Mine is also Same problem which is having Bill,
Solid advice. I did notice a couple of things..
1- My IE9 which works does not have the OpenDcouments Class Add-on listed. Hers did.
2- We can't reset IE (locked down)
3- testing it in compatibility mode worked. Oddly we turned compatibility mode off and it continued to work.
The one thing we questioned was the installation of the latest version of Office that was done during the preliminary testing, similar to repairing from what I can see, but it was done without a reboot (never prompted, never crossed my mind) and after we finished
but before I tested these things she had rebooted. Perhaps that helped?
Either way it is working properly now. Thanks.

Users unable to edit pages

Hi,
I have a particular department in my company who cannot edit
their pages as it say they are currently being edited by anyother
user. In the past when this has occured I have searched the web
server for .lck files and deleted them and this resolves the issue.
However, in this case, there are no .lck files so I have no
idea what to do.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Definately there should be a .LCK file. Say your page is on
the url
http://servername/directory/page.htm,
in the same page browse to
http://servername/directory/page.htm.LCK.
You need to remove this or
just edit it and remove the contents of it and save it.
I guess, deleting the .LCK file still re-creates it on the
fly. So try
to edit the .LCK file and remove the contents of it and try.
Later you may want to Create a Copy of the Current page and
delete this
page which is being locked out.

Unable to edit users in UPA SharePoint 2013.

Anyone have idea on what kind specific permissions I need to provide to get edit profile option.

Is IE running in compatibility mode, and if you're accessing CA from the SharePoint server, did you run it "As Administrator"?

How to edit contacts in Unified Contact Store in outlook or owa for users who use Attendand Console?

Hi all,
We have Lync server 2013 with Exchange server 2013 and "Unified Contact Store" configured and working. unfortunately our reception staff who use the Attendant Console are unable to edit their contact list (this is normal as 2010 clients do not
support UCS).
According to Microsoft notes that I have read we should be able to edit the UCS contact lists in OWA, Outlook, or Lync 2013. I can get reception staff who normally use Attendant Console (AC) log in to Lync 2013, arrange their contacts then go back to AC
- this works fine.
However as reception staff already have outlook, I would like to enable these users to be able to edit their contact lists in outlook or OWA. Does anyone know how to do this? I can't find any contact list in outlook that relates to the contact lists
in Lync.
Simon.

Hi,
For deploying Unified Contact Store, the users must log in with Lync 2013 at least once.

11.2.3a - Unable to edit exsisting xp user policies

Maybe I could get some help here. I am currently unable to edit XP group user policies from my zenworks 11.2.3a zone. All policies were "minted" uner the 11.2.2 version. I was able to edit policies no problem before the 11.2.3a Update. All machines have the 11.2.3a Group Policy helper activeX control installed on them (Fresh images not upgrades). Here are the problems I am having
1. When the group policy editor opens, all my policies are set to "Not Configured", even though these are active working policies with many items configured
2. Once in a ten or so tries, the group policy editor opens the ADM's correctly. I am able to configure the needed settings. The group Policy editor closes and echoes back theat the "Settings were successfully imported". The problem here is that the "upload button" stays dimmed out and I am unable to uplaed the configured policy.
Not really to sure what is going on.

I've seen something like this in earlier versions as well - in my case
it was the version of the browser I used and the security settings of
this. What browser do you use?
Do you see the same if you use the ZCC from antoher server?

I had a similar problem. I was supposed to join a meeting using Skype, but missed it because of Skype problems. I was online and so was the other party, but we could not connect. I got messages about missed calls, but I never got the actual calls. I tried calling them, but that didn't work either. Other contacts were able to reach me, but for some reason this particular contact wasn't. I tried restarting but that did not help. I'm not sure if the other party restarted Skype, I could ask that next time.
