B-Day set up in Address book shows up in iCal but won't sync to iPhone

And it would be my Mothers! I don't sync over air. Always sync through iTunes,, and I have marked "all iCalendars to sync".. I have 3 calendars plus a Birthday's one. I also have a "Birthdays Calendar". After I sync, all the Birthdays EXCEPT this particular one are there. My Birthdays are set up from my Address Book. I presume that is how most of my Birthdays got to appear in the Birthdays Calendar. I can't understand why this particular one doesn't show up. I have deleted the contact (my mother), and re-input, including birthday(obviously), but won't appear still after sync on my iPhone. I did try a separate entry into iCal, adding a Birthday event, and this time, that one showed up after Sync. Can anyone explain, why the separately added on into iCal showed up in my iPhone, and the birthday attached to my address contact in Address book didn't .. or is it a quirk (black hole event).

Let's see, uh, these are shows I downloaded 6 months ago, so I guess the answer is... no? Not so simple?
I looked a lot closer and apparently the shows I bought before are just gone. I went back to the store to repurchase only to be told I already bought them but if I want to I can buy them again. Not redownload but actually repurchase. So no, not so simple.
Something must have gotten corrupted and apparently once that happens then things get squirrly real fast. That's ok, I have an engineering degree and am computer literate. Imagine my mom trying to mess with this? No way.
So no - not nearly simple enough.

Some of the entries in my address book show birthdays one day/year earlier in Ical. I cannot change this except by putting in the birthdays a day/year earlier than they are. Why is this happening only for some entiries and not others?

Some of the birthdays I have entered in Address book appear in my Ical one day and one year earlier than the date I have given. Eg. I have entered a birthday in Address book as 23 March 2011 and it appears in Ical as being on 22 March 2010. Other names have no problems. There are only some that do not appear with the correct date and year. Why is this? Has anyone found how to correct this strange problem? I have Time Zones ticked.

I'm having this exact same problem, but it's doing it with a bunch of birthdays. I also did 0001 when I didn't know the birth year, so I went back and did a more current year, but they still aren't showing up where they should be...or at all. It's completely bizarre.

My Mail Account in linked to my address book. The address book shows First Name, Last Name. When I start an email in Mail, the name does appear but the order is reversed...Last Name, First Name. I must have changed a setting somewhere but I don't know where. Does anyone know how to correct it?

I don't have any problem with my system. My guess is there is something there you aren't quite getting. I'd recommend a visit to your Apple Store, AASP or to contact AppleCare so they can coach you personally.
You can also play with the Address Book Preferences. However to see how changing a Preference affects the Address Book drag the Preferences window off of the Address Book so you can see both the Preferences window and Address Book Windows. Then toggle a Preference and you will see it instantly changes in the Address Book.

Address book shows separate list preceded by an

My address cards in address book show two separate groups. They are in alphabetical order. How do I merge them into one group? The +merge group+ selection in addressbook menu is greyed out.
I am also getting duplicate cards being created in my mobileme sync address book. And I don't know how to stop it from happening.
Sorry if these topics have been already discussed but I did a search under AddressBook and could not find any previous discussions about these.

I solved this problem. I had to manually retype cards that were in the list after the " # "symbol into the main stack. Once that was done, I highlighted all the cards in the group after the " # ">Edit>Delete.
This left all my cards now in one stack, which I could now Archive.
In case you are wondering, I tried to highlight the unwanted cards and Merge with other group. Merge would work but did not remove the secondary list. It also created duplicate cards in MobileMe after syncing. Only the above method formed only one card stack and removed the unwanted one.

Who is the email account provider?
With an iCloud, Yahoo, or Gmal account, you can sync contacts over the air with the account.
If the account does not support this, you need to sync contacts with a supported address book app on your computer.

Address Book Shows Up - Cannot Quit It

My system boots up without Address Book in the Dock. But use the system for a little while, and it appears in the Dock. And it cannot be "quit." It cannot be "force quit" - no matter how many times I go to For Quit Apps and click on it to quit.
Any ideas on what may be occurring - and how to cure?

My understanding is that preference files can become corrupt if the computer is powered off without doing a proper shut down. This could occur if the computer is turned off by holding the power button or in the event of a power outage.
So forcing the computer to turn off without shutting down properly should be avoided if possible. Of course there is nothing you can do about an unexpected power outage.
The reason the corruption may occur is because the system was unable to save the preference file, or it was in the middle of saving when the computer was halted. When the computer is shut down correctly, the system does some housekeeping by updating directories and other things. If it doesn’t get the chance to do those, it can cause problems.
There may be other reasons for how preference files can get corrupted. It would be interesting and perhaps useful to know of others.

want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible (see attached image). for some reason, all new contacts added through Mountain Lion appear as fullscreen caller ID images.

This would be better addressed in the iPhone forum, I would post there as well.

I bought an iphone 4. I have a MacBook Core Duo running 10.4. My husband has a Core Duo 2 running 10.5.8. Is there a way to move my ical and address book info. to his computer so I can sync with my new iphone without upgrading software.

Hello hbell,
is there any reason that you do not want
to upgrade to v10.5.? Suggest you call
1-800-275-2273 Apple Support. Automated call
yet if you call back you can get in touch with an
Apple Software Specialist. They may be able to ship
you Leopard so that you can synch your new iPhone
to you own computer. Have the serial numbers of your
Mac and iPhone written down and ready for them.
As far as transferring data to your husbands MacBook
so that you can sync your iPhone on it I am really not
sure. Seems like a lot of trouble to get your data onto
your iPhone.
Good Luck,
A

Acrobat 8 shows in the dock but won't open

I have a new installation of Acrobat Pro, along with PS5. Computer is a mac w/snow leopard. Question is Acrobat 8 shows in the dock but won't open - says PS must be open for it to work - but PS is open(and functioning fine). So how do I get Acrobat working?
Thanks

I opened an earlier version of a CS program (Illustrator 3). Acrobat seemed to find what it needed and opened. It now opens normally - even with CS3 applications closed.

I have several songs that I purchased. They show in my library, but won't play on any of my devices - including my computer. I keep getting the "authorize the computer" prompt. My computer is authorized! I have done all the troubleshoots that are available. How do I get my computer and other devices to be able to play these songs? Almost all my songs play except for about 8 or 9.

If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
