Address book and bluetooth phone

Hi,
I have been trying to use my bluetooth enabled mobile phone with the address book to dial numbers and send sms. I am using the Nokia N80, Nokia 9500 and the Motorola Razr V3 BLK. But when I pair the phone with address book and click on the tab of the contact, address book loses the bluetooth connection and the Send SMS and dial number options are not highlighted.
I have tried looking around for help, but haven't found anything other than BluePhoneElite. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me with this.
Best Regards,
Aditya

I have the same problem with my Nokia N70 whereas in the past I've had this address book connection with SE T610 and SE K700i, though with the 610 I had to troop round the re-pairing route a couple of times and with the 700i, I had to wait for Tiger.
If you clear the settings and pair again in the Bluetooth wizard, at the point where the paired services screen shows, the Address Book option is clearly missing. It may be that 10.4.6 has rewritten the configurations for these phones, or it may be that we have corrupted or outdated preference files and perhaps somebody could advise on which files we might check.
It's certainly frustrating to be missing this facility when my phone can both sync and work as a high speed modem through Bluetooth. The Address Book facility may be the lowest priority, but it remains a useful extra feature which I miss.

This facility is usually dependent on your network
I am in uk on Vodafone and it doesnt work here
I use a small program called BluePhoneElite with the v3 and it handles sms and the calls very well
They pop up on the powerbook screen and also the sms save to the powerbook
thats the address you can get a free trial
I paid the small amount and have been very happy with it
Now I wish there was a program to handle landline calls
I am just a happy customer nothing to do with the company before anyone asks!

Address Book and stolen phone

I think I've figured out the answer to this already I'll ask anyways. My wife's iPhone 3g was ripped off on Sunday. We reported the phone stolen to AT&T that night. My question involves the address book, my wife kept passwords and SS # in the address book. I've already changed her dot mac password but I'm wondering if there is a way to completely reset dot mac so that if the phone attempts to sync over wireless all of her info will just disappear? We known the crook took a credit card number out of her address book and tired to use it. Of course this won't work if they do not hook up to wi-fi or have turned off push sync.
thanks,
jeff

How unfortunate.
Not sure of a global reset on MobileMe, but you can certainly manually delete that information and it would have been erased by the push sync. I state 'would have been' because if you changed the password, I would think the iPhone will no longer connect to MobileMe (it will ask for the new password), so the blanked entries will not be pushed to the phone.
For the future, you might want to consider either a) not storing such sensitive, personal information on a portable device like a mobile phone, b) if you do, enable a passcode lock on the iPhone or c) store the information in one of the apps designed for that, where the data are password protected and encrypted.

Where am i going wrong?....... I've set my device up with the Bluetooth *** and paired it and clicked on the button in the top corner of the address book ........ but to no avail,...... can anyone help.

Problems synching iPhone 3Gs with Address Book and Calender

I have an iPhone 3Gs and have begun to notice that information is not being synched between Calender and the phone and Address Book and the phone. I now also have duplicate contacts for all contacts that were in my orginal iPhone before I upgraded. I suspect it has something to do with mobileme (which I don't subscribe to) and I have tried all the various synch options in iTunes. I know people have been having the problem and have solved theirs with the help of mobileme. How can I solve it without subscribing?

Yes I have a similar problem.
I lost all my contacts (today 23rd Mat 2011) on my 3G iPhone and the Address Book on my Mac Pro also.
The contacts in my MS Outlook were intact I run Outlook:Mac 2011.
They have only just fixed the issue with the Calendar in this version 2 weeks ago an MS issue.
I plugged in the iPhone last night to charge and synch and this morming the phone had no contacts and I had lost all the address Book I had some group headings (greyed out)
It's almost like a plot to get Outlook users frustrated and make them switch but, Outlook is too good.
Outlook:mac 2011 contacts does not synch with Mac address book

Again: Address Book and 2 Bluetooth Phones

Hello there,
I'm using Address Book to send SMS via my bluetooth Nokia 7610 telephone.
Recently I purchased a Nokia e50 for work. With the Nokia plugin I can use iSync fine, but there is not Address Book plugin for SMS, etc.
Now, after configuring both devices I can not use Address Book to send SMS via my Nokia 7610... Address Book just connects and then disconnects. Of course, the e50 won't work either, but it's not supported.
Any ideas?
Greetings, JP

Eric, here is how I do it:
go to System preferences, Bluetooth, Devices and click on the phone you want to use and click on Configure. There you go use with address book. Then re-launch Address book and you should be able to connect to this phone. To connect to the other phone, repeat these steps and click on the other one and reconfigure it.
I am not sure that this is the shortest or most efficient way to achieve connection to multiple phones, but so far I did not find other.

How to connect a Razr to iCal and Address Book w/ bluetooth

How to connect a Razr to iCal and Address Book w/ bluetooth
Hello. I am going to post this in multiple forums because I searched but couldn't find anything on how to sync my Razr with Tiger's iCal and Address Book so this is the How To.
First, download the software Pacifist which can be found on www.versiontracker.com. After the download, put your Tiger DVD into the drive, open the packages in Pacifist, and do a search for iSync.app. Drag that app into your Applications folder. Go to www.versiontracker.com again, and download the iSync 2.1 update. Run that update, and after the restart, use the bluetooth setup to connect to your phone. After pairing, the bluetooth setup should say that you can sync your contacts and ical list. Go to your Applications folder and find iSync. Using this application, you can now adjust the settings for your iCal and Address Book apps.
Good luck!

Address Book and Phone Probs

so i'm running Tiger OS 10.4 on a macbook and i recently paired up my macbook to my motorola razr by bluetooth. i sync'd my address book on my phone to my computer but when i click the "mobile" or "home" labels on my address cards on my computer, the "make calls" and " send sms messages" in the dropdown menu don't aren't highlighted, preventing me from performing either functions.
does anyone know of any troubleshooting for this or has anyone encountered similar problems? is my phone simply not compatable with this function or have i made some sort of error while syncing my phone and computer?
thanks!

It seems to be a problem with address book. I have a nokia e70 and 9300i and i can't connect any of them to address book. It just ask for the pairing key and then i have to go again with all the process.

Sync to Entourage and Not Mac Address book and ical HELP

I just got a brand new MacBook Pro (no more PC)!!!! My I Sync my phone and it put all the data in ical and address book. I use Entourage and thats where i would like all my info to go. how do i set up itunes to go to entourage and not the apple sofware.
And Can i sync via bluetooth?
thanks you
Brad "new Mac guy" Glaberson

The isync database, as I called it, is really just the master database from which ical, address book, bookmarks, etc., are stored, and it's used for syncing with the .mac service. Entourage can sync with it too, just go to the Entourage menu, choose Preferences, and look under General Preferences for Sync Services. Then check the boxes you want -- I just wanted the contacts to be the same in Entourage and Address Book so I only checked that one. The calendar is kind of funky because iCal uses separate calendars to group events, and I think if you check that box, iCal will then get a new calendar called Entourage, or something like that, in which all the Entourage events will go to and from. That is, I think Entourage will sync only with that iCal calendar, but I could be wrong about that since I don't use it.
Once you check the contacts box, Entourage will populate with all the contacts in your Address Book, and I think if you don't already have contacts there (that is if you've only been using Entourage for your contacts) then it will ask you if you want to put all your Entourage contacts into Address Book. I just don't remember.
Surely someone else out there is more familiar with this, but it should get you started.

Address Book and using with Motorola v600

I'm having trouble using the "Dial with cell phone" and "SMS Message" functions in Address Book with my Motorola v600. I click on the Bluetooth button in Address Book to pair it with my phone, and the pairing is successful. However, the functions are still grayed-out.
I'm able to sync my Address Book and Calendar with my v600 phone using iSync. And I'm also able to navigate through the audio/video filles on my phone using Bluetooth File Exchange. So I don't think there's a problem with the connection.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the SMS and Dial with Cell Phone functions in Address Book to work with the Motorola v600? Thanks.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

wait, i meant contacts. for some reason the ipod touch will sync with windows contacts but won't sync with windows calendar.
he will need microsoft outlook to sync his calendar.
for contacts he doesn't need extra software:
in the overview screen when the ipod is connected to itunes there is an info tab, in the contacts section, set it to sync with windows contacts.

Address Book and long SMS Messages

I have a Bluetooth equipped Mac and a Bluetooth equipped Sony Ericsson mobile. The phone is able to send and receive so called "Long Messages" with an upper limit of 768 characters.
I want to type my message in Address Book and then send it via my mobile.
It would appear that Adress Book only recognizes the old 140 character message standard and tells me "Too long by 138 characters". Then Send button is grayed out.
Anyone know of a trick to make Address Book play along?
Thanks.

Perhaps this...
The application supports the ability to send long text messages of up to 459 characters in length and to set your own, custom, Sender ID.

Iphone Sync deleted all contacts on google, Mac Address Book and Itunes

I have my phone synced to my google contacts. I did a sync trying to sync itunes, google and my address book and now everything has been deleted. I created a back up a month ago but when I do a restore from back up, it still does not give me my contacts, some how it is still syncing to google which is now blank. It's weird because the restore even gives me texts and photos I had on the back up date but it won't give me the contacts. I have tried changing the settings on the phone so it won't sync to google, I even changed my password on google hoping this would stop teh sync & allow the backup to show my contacts. I have tried using an iphoen extractor as well but since my phone is not jailbroken I am unable to use the file. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Sorry, should have given more info-I have an iphone 3G, MacBook Pro, operating system is MAC OS X.
Iphone syncs to google contacts but last sync deleted all of them (google & address book). I do have a back up which I know has all the contacts but when I do the restore, it still is syncing to google so I still don't have any contacts. How do I get my contacts from the backup & prevent the iphone from over riding the back up & syncing to google?

Address Book and Mail - Using Groups for e-mail

I've noticed something strange about Mail and Address Book in Tiger:
I created a new Group in Address Book. The Group contains people who are involved in a project. I have names, home addresses and phone numbers for eveyone, but a few people do not have e-mail. When a try using this Group to send out an e-mail message, Mail warns me that John Smith does not appear to have a valid e-mail address. I can't send the message unless I select only those in the group who have e-mail addresses and only send to them. This is a pain.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug in Tiger's Address Book and Mail.app? How can I get around this? I have several Groups like this that contain entries with no e-mail.

It's not a bug in Address Book, it's a limitation. Your only way to get around that is to either remove those from the group, or give them all the same email address; i.e., send those to you so you are reminded that they didn't get the email and you have to notify them some other way.
And of course, when sending to more than one person, never put the recipients in the To or CC field; they should always go in the BCC field.

Address book and calendar sync from Mac to Google

Hi,
I have a HTC Desire phone and wish to sync my Contacts and Calendar items to it via Google.
I have pulled my Address Book and Calendar from my old p1i phone on to my old Power Book and exported these. I have then imported these onto my Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard.
I now want to sync these up to a Google account.
In my address I have ny contacts and also my girlfriend's. I wish to sync only my Contacts up to Google. Is this possible?
I have tried configuring iCal to sync with Google via calDAV but I am not seeing my Calendar entries in Google (or a way of doing a manual sync from Mac -> Google)
Apologies if these questions have been asked and answered previuosly.

Syncronising address book and Calander between macs

Hi
I have Mini Mac (Tiger), Macbook (Leapord) and Airport express. I want to keep the address book and calander syncronised automatically.
I do not have mobile me. I mainly use google mail.
Does isync help of howelse do I do it?
Badrakumar

No, iSync is for syncing Contacts and Calendars to third-party mobile phones and PDAs. It does not sync anything between Macs.
Apple's MobileMe is for syncing Address Book and Calendars between multiple Macs.
You might also be able to use Google's new CalDAV feature:
