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.

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 It may be that 10.4.6 has rewritten the configurations for these phones, or it may be that we have corrupted or outdated preference files and perhaps somebody could advise on which files we might check.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.

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.

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:

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

I fixed my iSync Problem it now syncs Address book and iCal on 10.4.9

Ever since updating to the latest version of OS X 10.4.9 iSync didn't work anymore with my Sony Z520i.
Neither Address Book or iCal wouldn't sync at all and I tried everything even a fresh erase and Install.
Someone here on this forum told me to delete the folder SyncServices found in ~/library/Aplicatrion Support/SyncServices. I did that but it still didn't work so I replaced the same folder from the trash. I then launched iSync again, it did sync my address book only. I couldn't select the option for iCal in iSync anymore until I resynced my iCal in my Mac prefrences, after that I could select it in iSync but it would still fail.
So I deleted two files that belong to iCal located in ~/library/Aplication Support/iCal the two files are sync.plist and syncState.plist
When I tried it it worked perfectly iSync synced both address book and iCal and I have been testing it without any problems updating my address book and iCal for the last few days.
It's 100% fixed :)

You only get the one hour difference if the Time Zone or Daylight saving setting is set incorrectly on your phone, or if you are viewing events before the last time the clocks changed (March), or after the next time the clocks change (October).

Fields from palm won't go into Address book and vice versa

Hi there,
I'm still adapting to 10.5.5 (I was using 10.2.8 for a long time) and there are little things that throw me off.
The latest bug I've found is that any contacts I've added to my Address Book since I made the switch aren't properly being synchronized to my Palm Pilot.
For instance -- I've added a contact with name, company name, work phone, mobile phone, work email and work address to Address Book.
My palm pilot isn't getting the work address.
Any advice?

If you have selected the Address Book and iCal under the Info tab for your iPhone 3G sync preferences to sync contact info and calendars with and this is not working, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
Quit iTunes, the Address Book, and iCal first. Launch iSync and to to iSync preferences. After selecting reset sync history, restart your Mac and try syncing this data again.
When creating a new calendar event, there is a selection for which calendar you want to place the new event in if you have multiple calendars.
If you have multiple calendars, you can select the calendar you want to create the new event in. After launching Calendar, there is a Calendars selection at the top to view all calendars. You can select a calendar to view all entries for that calendar only and for entering a new event for that calendar. Or select All Calendars to view the events for all calendars. When creating a new event with All Calendars selected, you can choose which calendar with the new event entry.

How to sync Address Book and iCal with Samsung GT-S5670 (Galaxy Fit) with Android 2.2 running?

How to sync Address Book and iCal with Samsung GT-S5670 (Galaxy Fit) with Android 2.2 running?
Couldn't find any iSync Plug-in nor software for Samsung phones fitting ...
Thanx for any help!

Hello,
if you need to sync your media files as well, you might want to have a look at FoneSync for Android. It features an iTunes like interface and syncs contacts, calendars, music and photos.
Kind regards

Sync address book and MobileMe

I have all my contacts in Address Book and I sync my iPhone 3GS via MobileMe. And apparently what I'd like to do it not possible.
I want to keep all my contacts in AB, but only have certain groups on the iPhone so I do have to wade thru all of them when looking to make a call, send email, etc.
Is this possible or not?

Yes it is possible, I do the same thing with my iPad. Basically you create a new Group in Addressbook that you want on your iPhone. Drag the contacts you want included to that group. In iTunes you sync only that group to the phone.
I'm not at the system I use for iPhone/iPad syncing so I can't give the specific options in iTunes at the moment.
