Add or edit address book using Desktop Manager

Is there any way that I can add or edit my address book using the Desktop software? I would like to input email addresses and other information into my address book on my blackberry without having to type everything in on the blackberry. I was hoping there would be a way to do that on my PC and have it sync to my phone.

he following steps will help you to configure synchronization -
Connect your device using Desktop Manager and click on Synchronization
From the menu on the left click Synchronization under Configuration
Again click Synchronization button on the right which will give you option to Select Device Application that you want to synchronize
Put the check mark and you'll get a prompt to Select Desktop Application
Highlight the application name and click next button
Under Synchronization Option you get Direction of Synchronization
Check the radio button with Two way sync
Note: above mentioned steps are explained as per Desltop Manager 4.5
Example: Synchronize addressbook -
Connect you HH with your desktop Manager in your PC. If you device is set to wireless sync then you need to turn off wireless synchronization. To do so go to Address Book -> click Menu -> Options -> Wireless Synchronization: No -> click Menu and Save the changes.
Click on the Synchronize button on Desktop Manager -> Click on Configuration Tab then click on Configure Synchronization -> Click on Choose under Address Book (on the right side of the pop up window) -> Click on you organizer apps (like, MS outlook, Lotus notes etc) -> Select desired apps -> select Synchronization radio button and click OK twice go back to Synchronize tab ->click on Synchronize Now.

Cant sync my outlook address book via desktop manager!

This is my 1st BB and I cannot figure this part out.
I do not have wireless sync capabilities so I need to do it through Desktop manager and when I try it says:
"Synchronization is currently unavailable for:
Address Book
Because the application is configured for wireless synchronization Desktop Sync for the above application will be disabled
Please click help for information an how to disable wireless Synchronization on your device"
So I click help and I get this:
"If wireless data synchronization is available for your BlackBerry® device, but you want to synchronize your organizer data using the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager, verify that wireless data synchronization is turned off on your device. Click Help on your device for more information about wireless data synchronization."
There is no info that I can find on my "device" that discusses this issue.
Please help!!
Synching to my outlook via the desktop manager was the main reason I got a BB in the 1st place

Had the same problem and saw ur post. Here is how I fixed my problem. The problem was my gmail account. I just reinstalled it on my blackberry to receive emails and it apparently erased all my contacts. On your phone go to "Email Settings". There should be a list of email accounts. Check each email account (for me it was gmail). Click on "Synchronization Options". There will be an Item called "Contacts" which will be checked. Uncheck it and click "Save". Go back into Desktop manager and "Address Book" can be restored.

Sync Error "An error has occurred please try again" with Contacts using Desktop Manager

Hello,
I've been trying to fix my Boss's sync issue for sometime. I hope some one can help.
He has a BB Curve
He uses Microsoft Entourage 2008 sync'd with Mac's Address Book
His desktop manager is up to date
When syncing contacts he gets "An error has occurred please try again"
I went under advanced settings and click replace everything on blackberry device. That worked and his phone is now up to date with his address book however if you don't click "Replace.." the error still occurs.
He fusterated because he wants to be able to sync back and forth not just from his computer to his phone. I hope this all makes sense and someone can help.
Thank you

Add Sender to Address Book Category?

Does anyone know if you can set up a "rule" or something of that nature to the Add Sender to Address Book feature? I would like all of my contacts from my .me email to be saved in a preset category in my Address Book.

Take a look at Andreas Amann's Mailscripts. His add to address book script instructions:
"Select all messages you want to use for creating the mailing list (for creating a mailing list, you would choose all messages in a mailbox which contains all messages on a certain topic).
Run the script and you get a list with all addresses contained in the selected messages - mark all the addresses you want to add to the Address Book using the checkboxes.
From the popup menu, choose which group you want to update with the selected addresses or select "Create new Group..." and enter the name for the new group to be created.
The script checks whether an address is already present before adding it to the Address Book in order to avoid duplicate entries. If additional information is available for an entry already present in the Address Book (e.g., full name information for an entry which had prior been email-only), the entry will be updated."

Curve 8900 - Unable to edit address book

Tried but unable to edit address book for some days now and the phone just hangs. after turning it off and on, i get the following message: "Uncaught exception, Application net_rim_bb_ address book app (471) is not responding, process terminated"
Any solution, please?

Hi
Ive updated the instructions
This what I did to completely wipe my BB. I wrote this before starting and printed it off.
If your device is functioning, perform a backup now if you haven't already done so saving the file to a place and in a name that you can easily locate on computer.
I then uninstalled DTM and then deleted all other references to BB/Rim in Windows Explorer thus removing the OS for the BB from the computer in order to ensure that the version I would reinstall would be a brand new downloaded version.
Get the latest Desk Top Software (DTS)
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?CPID=OTC-DSKTPSW&cp=OTC-DSKTPSW
and install it on the computer.
Get the correct latest version of the OS
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
and save it to computer.
To erase all the data on your BlackBerry device, complete the following steps.
1) Download JL_Cmder from http://www.4shared.com/get/oqP9V-2Q/JL_Cmder_v19.html
2) Install JL_Cmder to computer.
3) Double check you have already backed-up the BB. If you DO NOT, you will lose ALL data.
4) Make sure the DTS is closed and plug in the BB to computer via USB
5) Go to the JL_Cmder on your computer and double click it to start. Now,this may take a few tries to connect, so keep trying until it does.
6) On the first screen, Press any key to continue.
7) Now, if your device uses a password, enter it now. If not, press "N"
8) Press 4 to initiate the WIPE
9) Press "Y" to continue
10) Now type "blackberry" to continue
11) On the BB you will see a white screen with a'507' Error. Don't worry, this is what you want! You are now ready to install the OS.
Launch the new Desk Top Software on the computer
1). On the home screen of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, click Device > Update my device.
2). Click View Other Versions. Click the version of the new OS you previously downloaded.
3). Click Install. The DTM will install the OS and then provide you with a list of applications to install. If you have had difficulties with an app, do not install it.
Do not disconnect the device until the whole process is completed and the device has rebooted.
After 10 minutes reboot again by removing the battery whilst powered-on and leave it out for a couple of minutes.
Leave it again for 10 minutes. You should now have a fully functioning BB!

Apple Mail: How do I add contacts to address book?

In the Apple Mail program, there is an option to add sender to address book. But when I do that, it just adds the sender to my address book, oftentimes without a name associated to the contact. So that contact could easily get lost.
I'd like to be able to add a sender from Apple Mail, then, at a later point, go to the address book and review who I've added, and edit their information.
Is there a way to add the sender to the address book, and have that contact added to a default folder within address book. That way I could later go back and review a bunch of contacts I've added at the same time. Thanks.

Adding an address to Address Book opens Address Book so that you can edit the card before saving it. Is that not happening for you, or is that happening but you want to ignore it until you're ready to go add other information?
If the latter, you could always create a smart group in Address Book with the criteria "Name" "is not set". Then just go in now and then and add names to everything in that group. Of course, the problem with this technique is you may have to go back and find that address in Mail and refresh your memory as to who it belongs to. It would probably be quicker, overall, to just add the name at the time you're adding the contact.

Add sender to address book no longer working

"Add sender to address book" no longer works. It flashes the menu bar as if it is working, however, when I go to the Address book, the new person is not there. This has been going on for a number of weeks.
Any ideas?

Keith,
Since you have confirmed that the maintenance scripts have been used, then you may benefit from the troubleshooting procedures listed in Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption.
I would also suspect .plist corruption with com.apple.mail.plist and/or com.apple.AddressBook.plist.

Add a second address book

Does anyone know of an address book app that can be added to my Curve that won't confuse the syncing of the phone? My current contact list is synced with my office address book (via sync NOT server, which seems to be a problem) and I want to be able to add my personal address book to sync with my home computer. Suggestions?
Thanks.

I have managed to mispell my own name it's stew

Mail crashing when I try to add name to address book

Hi,
as of today, I'm no longer able to add names to my address book by clicking on the person's name in my email.
in the "from" field, I could click on that, and have a list of choices to add to my address book.
Now, when I click on that, it crashes my mail.
what can I do to fix this so it's working again?
Thanks,
Dave

If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts. There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

Editing address book on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

I can't figure out how to edit address book entries on my printer. Can someone provide some tips?

One of the easier ways to do this is through the EWS, or embedded web server. Find the IP address of your printer by pushing the wireless icon on its display, and put that ip in to a web browser ad if it was a web site. After that if you go to scan to email along the right, or you may have to go to scan along the top first, you should see address book on the left column. This is going by memory so if that doesnt work let me know and i confirm on an actual unit.
