Address Book Accounts not showing sync options

Address Book > Accounts not showing sync options. - just a blank panel to right of "On My Mac". Cause could possibly be that I imported current contact list from vcf export of AB. Anyone any toughts on how can I retrieve the syncing options?

Don't take what I have to say as fact, because I don't use a Mac and could be mistaken. I remember reading last night something about people taking and checking the box on the Summary page of iTunes to replace the info on the iPhone with the computer. Once that was done, it seemed to correct this issue and showed the address groups after that.
It might be worth the experiment, however I would make sure I had a backup of the phone before I tried it. I know it was only the last day or show that I read it, so if you want to search the forum before you try it, be my guest. I don't want to ruin anything for you, but I just remember reading that someone did that and it fixed it.
Hope this helps.

Address Book Groups not showing up in iTunes

The groups that I have set up in Address Book are not showing up in the Info tab in iTunes when attempting to sync my iPhone. The iCal calendars show and sync with no problems. I have tried resetting sync history, logging off of my .Mac account and logging back in.
Any advise? Thanks.

Contacts in address book do not show in iCloud

I have set up the iCloud and got Calendar working fine. Contacts don't. When I merge contacts from iCloud they don't upload and disappear from my Address Book in my iMac ( I have a back up so I ca restore them....). I tried several times but no result. They are fine in my iPhone, though.
Anybody can help?
Thanks!
Claudio

I ask this because I presume that my Macbook Address book is the master of all, and if I add a contact in here for example, it would be pushed to iCloud and then to my iPhone? But when I add contacts or make changes in my Address book on Macbook Pro, these are not appearing in iCloud
I think you misunderstand the way it works. First, there are two places on your computer to see the data.
1. "On my Mac" that is not synced to iCloud.
2. "iCloud" that is a slave to the Master iCloud dataset. It is somewhat similar to IMAP email.
When importing data, you can choose which place it goes to. The option is a bit obscure, you need to point to the icon to produce the alternative location ("On my Mac" or "iCloud").
Don't close iCloud in System Preferences (the term "logout" is confusing, It's actually like deleting an email accout). If you want to "logout" say, on a shared computer, do it in Safari as a session logout.
What your iPhone or iCloud on your computer is seeing, is the iCloud dataset. With the proviso that it sometimes takes a while for the server to reflect the changes. You also see the "On my Mac" dataset, which may look like duplicate data, if it is the same.
If your changes to the address book on your computer are not being changed in iCloud, it is either a server problem, or more likely, that you are working in the "On my Mac" dataset, which is not synced to iCloud.
If you want to have a simple iCloud only system, I suggest you:
A. make archive copies of the Address Book by File>Export>Archive
(and each Calendar in iCal as .ics files by File>Export>Export)
B. Delete the "On my Mac" Datasets.
You are less likely to see duplicate data showing, unless it all got horribly merged in iCloud, and duplicated up there already.
(Beware the "merge" option when creating an iCloud account, if there is already data in it)

Address Book Contacts not showing

BlackBerry Pearl 8100
I have 34 contacts added to my personal address book,
sometimes I see them, sometimes I don't.
I have to go to options and change the display name from "first name"
to "last name, save and the contacts will show, and then I
have to go back to options and change it back to "First name"
because this is the display I use.
This is a big problem when composing txt sms and calling from the
address book because it's like I have no contacts!
I have to go through all the above steps just to call or write a sms.
I already removed the battery and put it back in. It doesn't work.
It keeps happening.
I have to back-up the address book to outlook everyday because
I'm afraid someday I will lose all my contacts.
This BB is new, I've only used for 3 weeks.
Please let me know the solution because this is getting upsetting!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It didn't work for me!
I still have to go to options and change the display name from "first name" to "last name", save and the contacts will show, and then I have to go back to
options and change it back to "First name" because this is the display I use.
Then I can see them for a couple of times I click on the address book and then they are "gone".
If you have any other option let me know!

Nokia navigator - address book names not showing i...

this may not be exactly what you are looking for but i think the issue is similar, tho above thread deals with E series, your navigator in fundamentals in terms of contacts should have the same behavior.

Address Book contacts not showing up in Mail

I'm unable to access my address book contacts from Mail. The wheel on the right side of the recipient box spins but never finds the contact or group I'm searching. Can anyone help?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

IPad address book does not show contacts' details after iCloud setup

Hi everyone,
I setup iCloud today on my Mac and my iPad. It is working fine on my Mac - when creating new contacts they show up online and vice versa. However, a strange thing is happening on the iPad. iCloud syncs the contacts list fine - but when tapping on a contact (in the book layout on the left side) the app does not display any details of that contact on the right side. All it shows on the right side are three buttons: "Create new contact", "Add to contact" and "Send contact".
Does anyone have the same problem? Any tips/solutions?
Thanks!
F

I had the same problem on both my iPad & iPhone. I adding a contact on my iPad and now everything seems to sync properly. Hmmm, interesting..... THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION.

Address Book does not show prefixes or suffixes.

Looking at list of contacts in column view only shows first/last names. Contacts on iPhone do show prefixes and suffixes. Does anyone know a workaround to change this behavior?

Ditto — this is really annoying. I have family members with the same name, and I have to click through several cards to find the right one at times.

When I compose an E-mail my address book will not open when I click on TO or CC, but it does work on other computers and also if I use explorer.

My address book will not show when I click on the TO or CC button, a mozilla page does open but there is no content. My E-mail accounts work fine on other computers. It also works fine on this computer if I use Explorer instead.

Address book will not sync with outlook

I have a bb curve 8530. My desktop PC runs windows 7 and Outlook. The address book will not sync with outlook. The calendar function, however, will sync with outlook. The error messages are:
"Runtime error: unable to locate application in system table. The product may not be installed properly; run the installer and choose repair."
Or, "Intellisyncy error encountered 0x8004fff."
or, "unable to complete synchronization."
I have pulled out the battery of the 8530 to try a hard reset. I have reloaded on my PC the latest software from the BB website. I have reset and configured synchronization settings multiple times in every possible order. I have deleted from my outlook contacts any large files. I do not know what the installer the error message refers to.
Thanks, David

you cant reset your PIN, it is hardcoded into the BB
where is your PIN missing?
when it syncs the calendar, does it look like it syncs but nothing actually happens, no errors?
or does it crash with an error?
on your BB go to options- advanced options- default services
make sure facebook is not set for CICAL

Address Book does not sync with "Truth"

Hey all.
I've been experiencing this problem for some time now. I'm syncing between Address Book, Entourage 2008 and my cellphone via iSync. Recently however, it seems that my Address Book does not sync with the "Truth" anymore. For instance, when I make changes to a contact within my cellphone, after using iSync, the changes appear in Entourage 2008, but not in Address Book. Likewise, if I import a contact's vCard into Address Book, it does not show up in Entourage 2008 or iSync back to my cellphone.
I've tried resetting Sync History through both the button in iSync's preferences as well as terminal. That did not work. Neither did repairing permissions.
Could someone help me please?
Thank you!

If you have developper tools installed, maybe you can take a look a Syncrospector, located in /Developer/Applications/Utilities/
You should see AddressBook in clients list, with last sync data and registered entities (data types).
You can also check if /System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBook.framework/Resources/AddressBookSync.app is present on your disk.

Address book does not launch and does not sync to iphone

When I had upgraded to 10.5.4, the permissions from my user profile got corrupted. Since then I have created another profile and rebuilt permissions. Now the address book is not launching, it just bounces in the dock and nothing happens. Also when I try to sync my iphone i get an error saying i don't have permissions to carry out a operation and it quits out. i think it has to do with the address book not launching. Is this a permissions problem or another quirky thing because of this 10.5 OS??
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure what you mean by your "user profile." Do you mean you recreated a new user account along with a new home folder?
If you create a second account, can you launch the Address Book from that one?
If you cannot launch Address Book at all, you may need to reinstall OS X.

Address Book images not syncing via .Mac sync

i recently decided to get serious about attaching images to my contacts in address book. the images sync perfectly with the iphone, but they dont sync at all between the other copies of address book on the various macs in my home. the addresses (text) sync just fine -- but not the images.
what am i missing, here?

I had the same problem. My Mac's address book (including images) were synced via Missing Sync from my Windows Mobile phone. None of the images transferred to the iPhone. I then went into each Address Book entry and manually resized the image (edit, dc on the image and drag the slider to resize the image) and then resynced. Now all is perfect!
One side note- if you assign a contact image on the Mac or PC and sync to the phone, the image is shown in a small thumbnail on the top line of the phone when that person calls, etc... If instead you assign a photo on the iPhone itself using the "select current photo" option, then the photo is shown full screen instead of thumbnail! I copied all of my "CallerID" photos to an iPhoto photo album, synced that album to the phone, then manually assigned a photo to a contact on the phone and now they are full screen. Very cool!

HT4623 My deleted contacts still show up when I want to send a text message. But when I go to my address book there not there only when I want to send a text MSG there name comes up and if I select them it only show there number not name in the message.

Try this...
have a text convo with the person you want to delete. Go to the top contact in the text convo, hit edit contact, and delete that contact.
That resolution came from another thread on this issue, and this did solve to poster's issue.
