Address Book and Contact Manager

Hello everyone
We recently installed two iMacs in a pure Windows environment with Active Directory, Exchange Server and all the MS stuff. We had no problems binding the Macs to AD and we have use the Microsoft Office 2008 Entourage for Exchange connectivity. The client has a really huge amount of contacts in the Exchange GAL (Global Address List), which he wants the personnel to manage them from the Macs.
Entourage has not the 'Microsoft Outlook' way to manage the contacts.
Is there any application that can 'talk' to Address Book or SQL Server for Contact Management?
Thanks
Kostas

Open iTunes and choose Edit -> Preferences. Select the Sync tab and choose to reset sync history.
Do not check the box under advanced regarding replace contacts.
Make sure you have at least one contact in outlook & one one your phone.
Right click the phone in the device pane, select "Reset Warnings"
Sync, there should be a popup regarding your contacts, asking to merge or replace, select merge.

TB v. 24.0: Changed ISP's; ~ new email in Server Settings & Outgoing Server & all Address Books and Contacts; TB still showing old email ID for Fwd & Rply

TB v. 24.0, Win 7 Pro. Changed ISP's. I use Outlook 2007; wife uses TB, same box. Changed TB username & e-mail address in Server Settings & Outgoing Server & set as Default. Changed e-mail address in all address books and Contact lists. Now TB still showing old e-mail address in <From> when Reply or Forward. This is confusing recipients, who have been sending their replies off to a now-nonexistent account. Checked Windows Contacts - empty. Checked my Outlook 2007 - all Contacts changed appropriately. How do I kill that old e-mail address in TB when it isn't even listed any more - except when we try to Reply or Forward?

When you got the new email address and changed ISP's, you needed to create a new mail account for that new existing email address.
When a mail account is created there are many preferences setup to be able to manage and run that mail account. Trying to track down and modify all of those within the either the config editor or prefs.js is not only time consuming, but you could easily cause further problems if any error is made.
So I suggest you fix the original account by reentering all the old data. Then create a new mail account for the new exisitng mail address.
* File > New> Existing mail account.
or
* 3bar menu icon > New Message > Existing Mail account.
when you have both mail accounts in your left folder pane, you can choose to move any wanted emails from the older mail account into suitable folders in Local Folders. This will save a copy of emails.
Then you can delete the old account, leaving saved emails in Local Folders and only one new mail account.
To remove mail account:
* Tools > Account sEttings
* select old mail account
* click on 'Account Actions'
* select 'Remove Account'
* click on OK

HT2486 is address book and contact the same program

I need to build and print a mailing list, is Address Book and Contact the same program on my Macbook Pro? I was considering getting Bento4 - not sure what to do

Yes.
Address Book came with OS X 10.7 Lion and earlier versions of OS X.
Contacts comes with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Apple changed the application name.

Shared Address Book and Contacts on iPhone from Lion Server

Hi,
I'm considering converting my current Lion Mac Mini into a Lion Server as I like to look of some of the features it has. However I have a question about the shared Calendar and Address Book which Lion Server can provide.
My wife and I both have iPhones, I have read up some articles on the device management provided through Lion Server, but I was wondering how invasive this is? I'd like to enroll both iPhones with my Lion Server and allow access to a shared calendar and address book from it, but without affecting any of the existing calendars or address books currently on the phone (my wife syncs her contacts and calenders with Gmail, I use iCloud etc...). Is it possible to push out a config to both phones which adds the new calendar and address book without wiping each phone?
Rich

Yes, this happened to me too and as a matter of fact I noticed it when I was already at the Apple Store at the Genius Bar for another iPhone issue. However, it seemed to fix itself when we did a restore to the iPhone. I would try another sync first. If they are still messed up, then I would do a "Replace Contents - Contacts" in the iTunes Info tab once your iPhone is connected.

How to see all Address fields between Address Book and Contacts?

Hello,
I rely on my Apple Address Book on my iMac to manage a lot of information for work and personal purposes. Is there a way to configure the iPhone to display more of the fields that are available in the desktop Mac version of the Address Book? Specifically, the Related Names fields?
Thank you
Dan

I would post in the Snow Leopard Mail & Address Book forum:

Data loss between Address Book and Contacts

I have some detail in my address book (detail within individual contact) on my desktop that does not seem to "push" to my iphone. I get phone number, address but not the rest of the detail I have added via address book. Is there a way to expand the detail that is "pushed" to mobileMe, iphone or both?

Grrr, I'm not an addressbook specialist, but since no one answere yet I guess i'll give it a crack.
Can you try to close address book, then drag these files from your ~/library/preferences/ folder and put them on your deskop?
com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
com.apple.AddressBook.plist
Re-open Addressbook and see what happens.

Address Book and contacts.

I'm having a problem with some of my cards in address book. I have saved the name ie jo smith in first name and not used the last name. With some cards address book adds the surname into the last name field so that the contact appears as jo smith smith. I've done an edit and saved several times but somehow it keeps reverting. Weird? Any help?

When will Apple restore my ability to sync "my"Address book and contacts to "my" Mac not the cloud ?

I asked this question before but Apple deleted it. . . Hmm. . .
freedom of speech?

They may not. This facility was included with 10.8 and below only and I believe was called Sync Services, pls see here for the number of people irritated by this omission and for a possible workaround.
Please post feedback here too.

HT4489 How can I synchronize contacts between Apple Address Book/iPhone address book and Outlook (I'm on Mac OX10.7.4 and using Office 2011)?

I appear to have done what I should to move to iCloud on my Mac, MacbookAir, iPhone and iPad. Using Outlook 2011 on the iMac and unable to sync contacts between Outlook and my Apple Address Book and iPhone over the cloud. I gather lots of people have the same problem but some appear to have solved it... any ideas?
Also, in some sync, I managed to duplicate the entries on the Address Book on my Mac, whereas the iCloud Address Book is ok. How can I replace the Address Book on my computer with the one on iCloud?
Thank You for any help!

Hi Lucy, I had the same problem with Outlook data sync. Once you've enabled iCloud all your contacts are moved to iCloud and are no longer stored on Mac, that's why Outlook cannot reach them - there is simply nothing to reach as data physically stored in cloud.
I use SyncMate to solve this problem. This app allows connecting and syncing numerous devices and accounts with your Mac and they have recently added iCloud into this list (here the page where they describe sync with iCloud http://www.sync-mac.com/cloud-sync.html ).
This is how I established sync of my Outlook data with iCloud via this app.
1. SyncMate syncs only that data which is located on your Mac so you will need to move your contacts back to Address Book on mac from iCloud and disable iCloud for contacts (in order they were stored on Mac, not in iCloud).
2. You install SyncMate and add iCloud as a new connection (depending on data you want to sync you need to choose "Cloud contacts" or "Cloud calendars" connection in SyncMate wizard and log into your iCloud via SyncMate). Once you've done this, you can sync data on Mac with iCloud via SyncMate.
3. I may assume that automatic sync option is enabled in Outlook preferences (as previously your contacts on Mac were synced with Outlook). If no - please, enable it (got to Outlook preferences).
4. Once all this done, data will be automatically synced betwen Outlook and iCloud (latter via SyncMate). The trick of SyncMate is that data is physically located on your Mac (thus ensuring it will be synced with other devices and accounts SyncMate supports, as I said before, SyncMate works with data which is located on Mac), but you still can have it in iCloud (sync will be performed via SyncMate, no need to enable iCloud itself).
5. And of course, you will be able to sync your iPhone contacts with your Mac (SyncMate supports sync with iPhones also). These contacts will be also synced to Outlook.

Data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts do not match.

The data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts are different. How can I get my iCloud data to accruately reflect that of my iMac address book? It appears to be an initial synchronization issue. New entries synchronize fine. Appears that initial entries in my Address Book are not showing up in the iCloud Contacts list. Hense, My iPhone coantacts don't match those in my iMac.
Is there a way to clean out my iCloud contacts on reload/re-sychronize it with my iMac Address Book?

Nuts isn't it. This seems to have been an issue snce dAY 1. iT FROSTS ME THAT THERE IS NO SIMPLE QUICK WAY TO UPDATE OR CORRECT the data in both programs simultaneously.. Thats why i decided to just put everytning into the i cloud address brook, and let the one other sit and rot.
then i got smart and said, why don't I delete the outlookaddress book files. and save on confusion.
result - both addresses books and their contents became invisible to outlook.!!!!!! and I can find no way to correct this...to go back to the imperfect world that was.
I did get the outlook contact s back from an archive - but any thing from icloud has become inaccessible from outlook. (fortunately i can get the vcard infformation directly from icloud. but I can't access it from outlook mail.... means no replying, forwarding etc - and a time swallowing nuisance..

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 Google Contacts syncronization

I am trying to sync my Address Book and my Google Contacts with each other. I followed the guide on Google to import contacts using the application "A to G" but that doesn't include photos, which are a big part of why I wanted to do it.
I have in the past synced my address book with my facebook so that has a photo for each of my friends (their profile pics at the time) and since I have deleted my facebook account for privacy reasons.
I just tried to export a single contact in either 2.1 or 3.0 format, and neither imported correctly.
On looking it up online, I see one version had an option to sync with Google dynamically, but I don't see it in the preferences area - there is an option for Exchange, Yahoo, MobileMe but no Google - also I don't know if that will work with my Google Apps so cleanly.

Now I'm no longer using the address book application, so answering this question would be pointless.

Difference between Accounts in Address Book and iCal vs Mail, Contacts and Calendars Accounts?

Trying to wrap my head around iCloud's capabilites right now.
In System Prefs, there is the Mail, Contacts and Calendars setting. In there, I can set up syncing with contacts and calendars via a Google account there. However, when I open up iCal (aka calendars) and Address Book (aka contacts), they ALSO have their own seemingly independent syncing options.
I'd ideally like to keep a copy of my contacts and calendars synced through Google and iCloud.
What is the optimal way to do this?
Thanks in advance...

A) Contacts)
1. Open www.icloud.com
2. Open Contacts
3. Mark All Contacts > CMD + A
4. Click on the small icon in the lower left corner
5. Choose Export vCard...
6. Open your "Address Book" on your Mac and choose "File > Import"
B) Calendar)
At the moment there is no option to download/export all the data, but you could share the calendar back to your Mac by opening the www.icloud.com website, then...
2. Open Calendar
3. Click the samll "Share" button behind the name of every calendar and share it with your account.
