Hi,
for OS X and iOS you need a special address. You should take a look
at
http://owncloud.org/support/usage/contacts/ [1] , to learn more
about
setting up carddav on os x.
Unfortunately, that guide is for iPhone / iPad and doesn't apply to
Mac OS X. At least, I can verify that this does not work with Version
10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Using the address given there might work on
Lion (10.7.x) but I can't confirm this as I do not have that OS X
Version.
Cheers, Georg

In my case I am migrating from Apple Address Book on my Mac. But
when
I try to add the CardDAV account stated in my ownCloud Contacts
app, I
get an error in Address Book saying:
"Address Book couldn't discover the account settings for the
CardDAV
server "https://[my
domain]/owncloud/apps/contacts/carddav.php/addressbooks/[my
username]/default". Make sure the user name and server address are
correct, then click Create."
I am running Apple Address Book on Mac OS X 10.6.8, can anyone help
with this? Thanks.
Hi,
I could reproduce this here as I have the exact same setup available
here as you have. This seems to be a problem with the Address Book
Mac-App itself. The good news is: I got it working. This is what you
have to do:
1. Make sure, Addressbook is not running. If it is, select the
windows and press Command + Q to terminate it.
2. Navigate to "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Application
Support/AddressBook/Sources". If you have allready some kind of
address book setup, it is likely you will see some folders named like
this "BEA92826-FBF3-4E53-B5C6-ED7C2B454430". Note down what folders
there are now and leave the window open.
3. Open addressbook and try to add a new CardDav addressbook. At this
point, it does not matter what information you enter. It will come up
with the same error message you mentioned before when you click
"Create". Ignore it and click "Create" again. A non-functional
address
book will be added.
4. Close Address-Book again using Command + Q
5. Go back to the folder window from step 2. You will now see a newly
created folder with another long string as it's name.
6. Navigate to the newly created folder and edit the
"Configuration.plist" with your favorite text editor.
7. Search for a section looking like this:
<key>servername</key>
<string>http://:0(null)</string>
<key>username</key>
<string>Whatever_you_entered_before</string>
8. Make it look like this. Please note the :80 after YOUR_DOMAIN - it
is important:
<key>servername</key>
<string>http://YOUR_DOMAIN:80/owncloud/apps/contacts/carddav.php/principals/YOUR_USERNAME</string>
<key>username</key>
<string>YOUR_USERNAME</string>
9. Save the file and open Address Book again. It won't work yet.
10. Open the preferences for your ownCloud Carddav-Account and enter
your password.
11. You may have to restart Address Book once more. After this, it
should work.
I know that this is incredibly painful from an end-users perspective.
On iPhones / iPads it is far less painful. Therefore, I'd like to
blame this issue on Address Book for Mac OS X Snow Leopard for now.
Best of luck to you. Please let us know how it goes.

If so, what is the preferred file format?
Thanks!
