Adding a additional iCloud  address book account.

short and sweet:
- have anybody added a second icloud account on the address book preferences?
- I already have my icloud account set up in Lion (and works perfectly), trying to add my partner's address book (only) on
the application preferences (see: http://www.macosliontips.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/lion-address-book-google -contacts-sync-removed.jpg)
- trying to get some advice, has anybody try this?, did it messed up your contacts?, I need some advice, what would happen?, afraid of doing it, and messing all of my contacts.
thx.

*an additional.

  • ICloud Address Book Account Setup for Snow Leopard

    Does anyone know the account settings for the Address Book i Cloud server?

    impossible. SnowLeopard does not support the CardDav backend for iCloud.

  • My iMac address book is different from the iCloud address book. Why

    My iCloud address book and the addresses on my iPhones and iPads and a second are different from the address book on my iMac.  My computer seems complete, the others are missing addresses which appear in my iMac addresses.  How can I get the iCloud addresses to synch with my iMac address book?

    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • How do I overwrite iCloud address book with local mac one?

    When I first got 10.7, I had turned on Google sync in address book. Every person with a prefix or suffix on their name ended up with lots of extra cards (where the suffix became the last name, etc). After migrating my MobileMe to iCloud, I cleaned these out in my local address book app. They are still showing up in my iCloud account and iPhone, however.
    How do I either reset the iCloud address book or force the sync from my desktop to overwrite the iCloud service's contents?
    Cheers

    Pull up your iCloud account on the Internet... log in... and then delete all of your contacts from Contacts.  Then turn on your iCloud sync on your computer (or iPhone)... it will ask you if you want to 'merge' your contacts... say 'yes'... and viola, your contacts from your computer have been merged with you contacts from iCloud (which was empty)... so now your iCloud Contacts should reflect exactly what was on your computer (or iPhone).

  • Replace icloud address book with Mac address book?

    I just created my icloud account on my Mac- I already had it set up on my iphone.  When I did this, it pulled my address book from my icloud but my address book On My Mac is most up to date.  How can I replace my icloud address book with my Mac address book on my mac?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Go to users and groups and choose only your On My Mac Contacts to display.
    Ensure that nothing is typed in the search field.
    Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
    Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.
    Delete the contacts from Address Book (using your delete key).
    Now choose only your iCloud Contacts to display
    Ensure that nothing is typed in the search field.
    Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
    Delete the contacts from Address Book (using your delete key).
    Make sure your iCloud account is your default account (preferences > general).
    Select All iCloud contacts from users and groups.
    Drag the file you previously dragged to your desktop back onto Address Book.
    You might want to back up all your contacts before you begin.
    Select All contacts in users and groups
    Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
    Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.

  • My address book on my MacBook Pro does not include changes made to my iCloud address book.

    I have an iCloud account and use an iPhone and my MacBook Pro for my calendar and addressbook.
    When I make changes to the addressbook from my iPhone, they appear on iCloud (from Safari) but do not synch with the addressbook on my MacBook Pro.
    This just began to happen this week (August 10, 2012).
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for linking your Address Book Accounts Basics (with iCloud). And for all your forum contributions - invaluable!
    A possible tip to add is the obscure option key solution to the question: to what groups does the selected contact belong? When the option key is depressed all associated groups are displayed.
    On syncing: is there an Applescript or utility that will audit every linked iCloud account, Mac and iOS device for discrepancies between the Contacts databases? I thinking of the simple case like ours, where we want everything stored in the iCloud Account once-only-once, plus whatever Group-ings are useful. Even better - a script or utility that will force synchronization across all our devices and iCloud?
    Another useful tip might be: here are all the things you must do to achieve simple syncronycity - everything the same everywhere, no private contacts. That is probably what 99.99% of users want, and it is not documented anywhere. Even Joe Kissel's Take Control of iCloud v1.3 doesn't address this.

    I'm am currently using my icloud address book with my private email address and the contacts in that listing are friends and family.  I would like to add my work contacts from my office outlook to my icloud (but keeping them seperate).  Currently my work email/contacts are set up on my phone seperatly, but I do not know how to add them to my icloud.  can i add them or must I switch my icloud on my phone to my work email address?

  • Why is my iCloud address book different from my iMac address book?

  • More than one address book account

    Does anyone know if its possible to have more than one address book account.
    I have two e-mail addresses, one work and one personal and I want to use address book for my contacts. Is it possible to keep these two lists of contacts separate in Address Book on a mac and if so how.
    The problem is I sometimes have to export my business address book and don't want to send personal contacts.
    Does anyone have a solution??

    You could always create 2 groups in address book, one for business and one for personal. You will then have an "all contacts" list which will have them mixed, but you can also view by group, which will show just business or just personal. When you need to export, just export the business group.

  • I am having problems making new email/icloud address primary account.

    How do I make newer email address/icloud address primary account?  I'm not being allowed to do this when I go to system preferences/icloud.  Only old defunct email address from job where I no longer work shows up.  I no longer have access to this email and I want to delete this account.

    I have done this and keeps saying the same thing. I have even tried setting my account through Microsoft exchange but no luck

  • Icloud address book issues

    Information on Icloud address book is formatted wrong, specially foreign telephone numbers, eventhough the information is correct in the Address book aplication in my Mac, Same goes for the picture w/ each address, it seldom shows in I cloud,
    when will these bugs be fixed?

    Apple usually isn't very good at releasing the date specific bugs will be fixed.

  • ICloud Address Book iMac Address Book?

    Why does my iCloud Address Book have 80 contacts while my iMac Address Book has 182? There's no obvious pattern in the dropped entries. Seems like iCloud just dropped a random bunch of cards.
    Any ideas?

    Sometimes it's just the simple things. Went into System Preferences > iCloud, unchecked contacts, re-checked contacts. My iMac, my Air, & my iCloud now have the same contacts again.
    Thanks for the reminder.  : )
    Take care.
