I've read your posts guys. Thanks for your speculation on the "synchronizing with Google" problem. I've just returned to Apple after a ten year affair with Microsoft. It confirms what I suspect but don't technically understand. Basically, Apple's programming is undernourished. Applications seem to be fed into the market without thorough testing or with obvious neglect for certain Apple products. If a product is a big seller then Apple concentrate on the iPhone, for example.
After ten years away from Apple, I'm also surprised to find that Apple seem to expect users to rely on discussion boards rather than develop and publish comprehensive, extensively searchable user guides. Apple's present level of support discourages me from advancing my use of Apple applications. The saving grace is bootcamp. Windows runs better on my Macbook than my PC.
So, after heralding Apple for twenty years, I'm disappointed; particularly in today's business world where "How" you do business, how you sell and support product is more important than "What" you sell.

  • Address Book not syncing with Google Apps

    so i thought this will be resolved after reinstalling 10.5.7 (i tried a lot of tweaks in the earlier installation to make this work) but it seems that even with a clean install it wouldnt work.
    address book authenticates with google but no updates are being sent or recieved.
    did anyone manage to get this working ? i have a feeling its not out of the box...

    Hi guys,
    I have a similiar problem. My address booked has synced correctly with google contacts since 2 years
    And suddenly it stopped syncing. Furthermore when I go to settings/acconts  I still find
    my "Local" account where i configured my google account, but now the right window is empty.
    There is no button to edit or show this account !!
    (I mentioned this after update to 10.6.8, but I'm not sure if it worked shortly before doing the update)
    What could be wrong ?

  • Address book not syncing with Exchange contacts

    Address book not syncing with Exchange contacts
    After update to Mountain Lion contacts/address book is not syncing from Exchange Account.
    Calendar sync is OK.
    What to do?
    Some information:
    MacBook Pro late 2011
    OS: Mountain Lion (10.8)
    Mail version: 6.0
    Address book version: 7.0

    Waiting was the key solution here!

  • Suddenly ICal & Address Book stopped syncing with Outlook for Mac

    2 days ago, ICal and Address Book stopped syncing with Outlook for Mac 2011.  I still have full functionality of Email in Outlook.
    What is wrong and how can I fix it?

    Any solution here yet? I have the same issue. After upgrading to Yosemite Outlook for mac kept requiring me to "rebuild identity database"
    I did this many times so there were many new identities.
    Finally I researched and found out that after the Yosemite update outlook would rebuild identity and once you do that there is a mismatch of your email account in outlook which just needs to be deleted and re-added to fix.
    Now since then my outlook contacts and apple address book do not speak to each other.
    If I make a new contact on my iphone and sync with my mac it will appear in apple address book.
    If I make a new contact in outlook it will not appear on the iPhone.
    So the phone is communicating and syncing with apple address book but wherever the apple address book goes to find the outlook contacts it must be using one of the older "identities"
    Also now when I am in outlook and go from email to contacts it takes about 20 seconds to open the 5,300 contacts and it used to be instant.
    Is there a way to view where outlook is getting the data? When I go into Outlook Preferences, Sync Services, "On My Computer:" is the one that is chosen so that should be good.
    Any help?

  • Address book not syncing with Office 365

    I use Office 365 as my primary work email. I have elected to sync my Office 365 address book with my MBA running 10.7.
    Most of the time it works OK, but I often get an error sign next to the Office 365 group in the Address Book. The error generally says "Address Book cannot save the contact <name> to the Exchange Server and gives me the option to Revert to Server or go Offline.
    If I elect to revert to server, the error goes away but sync still doesn't work. If I restart Address Book I get the same error with another contact.
    Is there a way to validate the entire address book rather than having to continually restart the Address Book app?

  • Address book/Contacts sync with Windows Mobile

    Hi.
    Curious if anyone has tried getting a Windows Mobile to wirelessly sync with Address Book Server and with iCal Server?
    IMAP mail works great, but I have a client with mostly Windows Mobile phones and was wondering if there was a way to do this.
    Thanks.

    For a Windows Phone 7 you can use this http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/windows-phone-7-connector/id415571499?mt=12
    For an 'older' Windows phone 6 this http://www.markspace.com/products/windowsmobile/mac/windows-mobile-sync-software .html

  • Address Book not syncing with Exchange 2007

    My address book on Snow Leopard has 4093 cards, but not all of them are showing up in my contacts folder in Outlook Web Access. My company uses Exchange 2007. This is strange as I originally populated my address book by syncing it with my cards on Outlook. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

  • Address Book not syncing with 9100 Pearl

    I have a new 9100 Pearl. I have it connected to Blackberry Desktop Manager on my Mac via USB. When I sync the address book it seems to sync OK and gives a message that the sync is complete, but the are no contacts actually transferred onto the Blackberry.
    I have the BB set to show all contacts and cannot think of any other settings that may need to be changed. Any ideas?
    I have just changed to the 9100 from a 9700 Bold and had no problems syncing my address book with that device from the same Mac.

    Maybe is some kind of filter on your device.
    You can verify if your device has the contacts
    Open your Desktop Manager for Mac connect your device go to Backup and there is an area there that is show you your device data or content verified if you has any data.
    If you has data on your phone then is the filter on your device address book
    Go to address book, press the menu key and go to filter, just be sure Business and Personal are not checked.

  • HowI get Address Book Server sync with clients?

    I have just set up Lion Server on a macmini and am learning how to set it up.  I cannot get address Book server to sync with client accounts.
    The server is function is active.  The users are properly set up, and the clients have been connected to the server and a Mac OSX Server Address Book created.  I have also set up the address book on the Mac Mini with an OSX Server addresss book.  It should show the same entries as the client and sync wherever changes are made.  Not a sausage....nothing......  The little 'wheel' whizzes round and does......... you have got it........ nothing.
    I thought this was easy to use?
    Any help would be welcome.

    Hi,
    Yes the sync tool is a standalone utility (you don't need the outlook connector installed). I finally got around to installing/configuring the latest version (comm-suite-5 sync tool) against my 2005Q4 test install.
    The addressbook server is the UWC address as I mentioned before but you also need to include the /uwc on the end.
    So for my system I have the following setting:
    local.sso.uwc.verifyurl = http://test-system.sun.com:82/uwc/VerifySSO?
    This maps to a :
    => Address Book Server: test-system.sun.com/uwc
    => Port: 82
    So in your case it would be:
    local.sso.uwc.verifyurl = http://hostname:6788/uwc/VerifySSO?
    => Address Book Server: hostname/uwc
    => Port: 6788

  • I can not get imac w/Snow Leopard's address book to sync with ipad 1correctly? I only get about half the contacts?

    I have tried repeatedly to get my address book on my imac w/ snow leopard to sync to my ipad 1 correctly and have failed every time. I only get about 1/3 the number of contacts and they don't all even correlate with the ones on the imac. Like one will have full middle name and the other only the initial. I don't know where itunes is getting these contacts but doesn't match those in my address book. I keep telling itunes to replace the contacts on the ipad with those on my mac but it doesnt work. Can't do it with icloud cause snow leopard doesn't support, it still wants to use the non existant mobile me format. Hope someone can help. I added the all amnually once before but they screwed up when I sync each time.

    Thanks for your response Ernie. You are correct in that whenever you type a series of letters, Address Book (as it always has) finds every single thing with that combination of letters - Names, businesses, adjectives, people's dogs' names, letters in product serial numbers, etc. This is useful for finding a subject on the Web, or finding all documents related to 'iPhoto' on your Mac, etc., but not useful, quick or convenient when trying to find one person to call in your Address Book (which is what people use Address Book for).
    What is DIFFERENT in the Snow Leopard version, is that the ability to type one letter to instantly go to last names with that letter has been removed. Previously, you could easily find 'Bill Tilman' in one second by simply typing 'T'. Now you get every word that starts with T and all the words in the card that have a T in them. If you type out a full name like 'Bill', it finds every person named Bill. No one would ever want to find all their contacts named Bill to call them. You could type out the full last name 'Tilman', but there again you are forced to type out a complete name to do a search. It would actually be quicker to scroll down and find it manually. The ability to type a single letter to find the last name (or business name) of a contact you needed to call, was much quicker and easier than having to type out the entire name.

  • Address Book not syncing with one computer (through .mac)

    I'm having difficulty syncing one of my computers through .mac. My desktop seems to interact fine with the online account, but I can't get the AddressBook info from .mac onto my laptop. I have tried all the syc settings in System Preferences and in the preferences menu in Address Book and they all say that I should be syncing. Is there something I am missing? As far as I can tell, both computers have the same settings. I'm wanting to be able to use my ipod touch with either computer, (and to have both computers have the same info as each other) . . .
    Thanks for any help.

    I just upgraded to Leopard and am having the same problem. Everything is syncing fine except the AB. I still see all my contacts up on .mac thank goodness, but nothing is coming down to my computer. I hope that they don't just disappear up on .mac as well!!!

  • Why is my address book not Syncing with ipad / iphone..

    Seems to be syncing with icloud, however, no icloud account was setup, also, have no prefs for icloud as I'm running OS 10.6....
    Why can't I just sync the address book to the devices directly, btw, itunes 11 *****!

    When you make changes in AB, quit Mail for the changes to be added to Mail's database file. Reopen Mail and try it.

  • How do I have my iphone (3gs) override the desktop address book when syncing with iTunes?

    My desktop address book is incorrect and I can't seem to restore it from time machine.  My iphone contacts are correct.  How can I have the iphone override the desktop address bookwhen I sync it with iTunes?

    For some reason during the sync it finally asked me what to do about the conflict - it hadn't asked me before.  So problem has been fixed.  Thanks.
