How can i sync mac address book w/ outlook for mac 2011

Is it possible to have the address book in Outlook for Mac 2011 sync w/ the Mac address book?  I cleaned up my contacts in the Mac address book expecting the changes to show up in my outlook address book.  Made over 200 changes that did not show up on the Outlook address book.  Seems like there should be a way to make this work.  If I add contacts from within Outlook, I'd like them to show up on all my devices.  MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm new to this platform as I was a PC guy for the last 30 years. 

I've got Outlook up and running just fine.  Still have the problem with getting duplicate emails but I'm waiting on MS to get a fix for that in an update.  Apparently that has been an ongoing issue.  I've been in contact w/ a senior MS Outlook tech on that.  I guess I'll just have to make sure that all contact adds/edits are done in Outlook.  Then I can sync my phone or iPad and get the cloud to update the other Apple devices off that sync.  Either that or figure out how to export from the Mac address book to the Outlook address book once in a while.

  • How can I sync my Address Book and ICal with Mac and PC with Palm Desktop?

    I now have the IPhone and I love it!!! But I have some issues and need help please. I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. In the PC I use the Palm Desktop Version 4.1.4 and I have there all my contacts (more than 1,100), all my date book (since 1998) and all my memos (about 600). I want to see what would be the best way get rid of my Palm Handheld and have only the IPhone, but I have encountered some problems and many steps. Everyday I have to sync the Palm Handheld at work, then sync the Palm Handheld at home with my Mac (using The Missing Sync, but it takes a long time every time), then sync the IPhone. Can you please help me??? How can I sync my data from my PC (Palm Desktop) with the IPhone? Another, thing; I do not want to use Outlook at work because the information that I want to sync (Palm) is my personal data and I want to keep using the Palm software for that.

    aflores48,
    Unfortunately, the iPhone is not designed to sync with Palm software. As stated in the minimum system requirements, the iPhone can sync with Outlook (2003, 2007 or Express) on a PC, or with iCal and Entourage on a Mac. If you do not want to use Outlook on the PC, you can sign up for a free Yahoo account and sync with Yahoo Address Book. Yahoo Address Book can be used to sync from PC or Mac. More information on the minimum system requirements for the iPhone can be found here:

    More information about syncing the iPhone with your computer (including Yahoo Address Book) can be found here:

    Hope this helps,

  • How can I sync the address book from Mail to my Address book?

    Ok, I open a new message and click on the Address Book icon in the new message to find my contacts on the address book, I choose the group I am looking for and the group has people on it that I have already deleted from my address book! How can I sync the address book from Mail to my Address book?

    It is using the same database on disk. You may have to re-launch Mail.

  • How to sync Address Book TO Outlook for Mac 2011

    I am using the native Address Book from Mac OS 10.7.5 and need to keep using it because it syncs with my iPhone. However, I am using Outlook for Mac 2011 and want the contacts to synch from Mac Address Book to Outlook's contact list.
    Synch services have been turned on in Outlook.
    Originally, I was going to switch to Mac Mail but discovered that importing mail from Outlook is a headache (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664208?start=0&tstart=0). Outlook works well and has for years so rather than going through a bunch of manual drag and dropping of folders to make mbox files, or buying software to do it, I thought getting the contacts to synch would suffice since that's all that's really needed.
    What I discovered is that Outlook will feed new contacts to Mac Address Book when they are generated in Outlook but the Mac Address Book does not feed new contacts to Outlook if they were generated in Address Book. Is this even possible? If so, how?
    Thanks,
    Karen
    I read this previous thread but it talks about contact info going FROM Outlook to Address Book instead of the other way around: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664208?start=30&tstart=0

  • How do i sync my icloud contacts with outlook for Mac 2011

    I need to sync my icloud contacts with Outlook for Mac.  Help!

    You can't, as Microsoft chose not to include the CardDAV protocol necessary to do so (even though they do in Microsoft Office).  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915.  To sync your iCloud contacts with your Mac you'll need to use the OS X Contacts (Address Book) app.

  • How can I sync my address book from my imac to my ipad 3?

    I have just bought an iPad 3 and want to copy my mail address book with email addresses intact from my iMac which has Snow Leopard, which I am happy with and do not want to change to Lion.   There must be an easy way, but I haven't found it

    Running Snow Leopard or Lion have no bearing on syncing contacts from the Mac. I synced my contacts from my MacBook when I was running Leopard.
    Connect the iPad to your Mac
    Launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes under devices.
    Click on the Info Tab at the top of itunes on the right side of the window
    Click on Sync Contacts
    Select All contacts - or the selected groups that you want to sync
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

  • How can I import my address book from outlook express.

    You cannot. iTunes syncing of contacts is only supported through Outlook

  • Transferring files from Address Book to Outlook for Mac 2011

    I know that this topic has been addressed, but I have a strange problem with what should be a straightforward process.
    Whenever I highlight all the entries in Address Book and drag them to an empty folder on my desktop, Address Book creates a single file titled, "vCards.vcf." This file is quite large, which leads me to suspect that it somehow contains all the names in my Address Book, but nothing I have tried - or read - has given me the slightest clue how to use this file to move the names over to Outlook. Likewise, nothing I have tried has been successful.
    In the past, whenever I highlighted all the names in Address Book and dragged them to a folder on my desktop, a vCard for each name appeared in the folder, so this development has really surprised me.
    Any idea as to what I am doing wrong?

    The single file does indeed contain all of the vCards in one file.
    I don't know about Outlook '11, but all the Windows versions of Outlook cannot handle a multi-contact vCard. I would imagine Outlook '11 to be the same.
    It's been creating multiple vCards for a while (perhaps just since Snow Leopard, but I can't remember).
    Entourage has been able to sync with the Address Book for quite some time. Try looking in the Outlook prefs for that option.

    Selected under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.

  • HT1296 I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
    I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
    So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
    Thank you so much.
    I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
    And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
    I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
    Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos?

    While in the Address Book press the Menu and than Options. Just type in RSET
    (capital letters) and you'll be able to wipe out all your Desktops where the
    Wireless synchronization is Not available. You can keep intact the last Desktop
    where the Wireless Synchronization is Yes.

  • How can i transfer a iphoto book created on one mac to another mac.

    how can i transfer an iphoto book created on one mac to another mac. i am aware of pdf saving but it doesn't help! need to see the iphoto book on other mac.
    and how can i view in slide-show double pages instead of single pages?
    anybody has an idea?

    Stephan:
    If you want to be able to view the book with iPhoto on the other Mac you'll have to copy the library containing the book to the other Mac. You won't be able to import that book into the other library.
    Make a duplicate copy of the library containing the book and rename the folder "Book Library". Open it with iPhoto and delete all of the files that are not in the book. Then copy the Book Library folder to the other Mac and open. You can also burn the Book Library folder to a CD as a way to archive the book in case you decide to order another copy at a later date. I create a separate library for each book I create and order and archive it to CD when I've ordered.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
