Address book, bluetooth, and the sony ericsson w810

hello. i have a sony ericsson w810. i was able to pair it with my macbook and i can sync the Address Book and iCal between the two. however, when someone calls me, or when i receive a text, i expected that the macbook will display the name of the caller (if the caller's in the Address Book), or at least display the number. however, when someone calls, "Unknown Caller" is displayed, which i think proves that the phone and the macbook are paired.
also, i can't send a text message and can't dial from the macbook.
when i put my pointer on the bluetooth icon on the Address Book, i get a message that goes "Connected <w810>"
if anyone could help me on this one. thanks.

I am having the same problem with my w810i and MacBook Pro. I've poked around the forums and there doesn't seem to be anyone who knows what's going on.

My address book tab and the entire bar that it's on has disappeared. How do I get it back?

Above is all the detail there is. It's gone and I don't know how to reconstitute it.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the broken files from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

How can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

how can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

You used to be able to do this through leaving unchecked the box in preferences "when sending to a group show all member addresses". However, that feature failed some time ago (two or three years?) and the only way to hide the addresses now is to put the group in the BCC field.

Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys. Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it. It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.

My Thunderbird page is screwed up - there is no address book appearing in the tool bar and i do not see a "write" tab - just "message" how can I restore back to normal?
Would so much appreciate help... frustrating.

Sounds like you are missing the Mail Toolbar.
Do you have a Menu Bar with File-Edit-View etc?
If not press the alt key to make it appear.
From the Menu Bar select View-Toolbars and turn the missing toolbars back on.
Write and Address Book are on the Mail Toolbar.
FYI: The alt key or F10 will make a missing toolbar appear in most applications.

Same issue also. Occurring both on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 after upgrading to ios 5
By the way, Mattban and Sancasslano, are either of you also experiencing any of the following issues:
* Problems with Contacts either crashing or listing no names
* Problems with turning iCloud on or off for application under Settings->iCloud... On both mine I just get a pop up saying that iCloud is being turned off but Contacts then just locks up.
* General problems when trying to synch applications on the iPad or iPhone over iCloud?
I am wondering if all these issues are in someway related to and whether it is worth trying to turn off iCloud somehow, though I cannot work out how this can be done once set up.

If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts. There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

Address Book / Bluetooth issue -- Can you help?

I have a Sony Ericsson K800i cell phone and a new black macbook. I have the two devices connected and can use iSync, but I cannot use Address book to make calls or SMS. I also have an old powerbook which works fine with the K800i.
I can only assume now that it is an issue with my MacBook. Does any one have any idea how to get it working? I can get it to connect, but it doesn't want to make phone calls or SMS.
Can anyone help? It would be much appreciated.
-Grant

Just googled "K800i Apple address book bluetooth sms" and found this link
http://www.fscklog.com/2006/09/sek800i_mitma.html
Its in german but copy and paste 10 points into sherlock and traslate to english.
Very simple to follow, took under a minute and now bluetooth sms and calls work a treat.
Have rehashed the clumsy translation and included below for you
1. Backup your address book and quit the application.
2. Right-click on address Book.app - > ' show Package CONTENTS '
3. Continue to go it into Contents/Resources
4 into Telephony.bundle
Right click ' show Package CONTENTS '
5 As before Contents/Resources to advance
6 Duplicate your ABDeviceCommandSets.plist for security
7 Open ABDeviceCommandSets.plist to with TextEdit
8 Search for' K700 '
9 Copy that string line and paste below replacing K700 with K800
< string>K800</string >
10. Finished. Open address book and test sms and dialing
Now telephone numbers can be dialled and sms sent
Enjoy!
Thanks to Leo...

Address Book & Bluetooth

I have just upgraded to Leopard and I appear to have lost a function from address book.
In the past there used to be a bluetooth icon on the toolbar which when activated connected to your mobile phone. When somebody called a pop-up screen appeared giving details of who was calling and options to pick up the call.
Does anybody know where this feature has gone and if so how to re-activate it.
Many thanks in advance.
Iain

Wow...
It seems I've found another removed feature or capability every week since "upgrading" to Leopard.
There are widgets to replace the SMS features that the address book bluetooth supported. But I haven't found anything to replace the caller ID or dialing feature.
Add that to killing Unsanity's APE, no scrolling or sound control in the preview of media file and the loss of so many older programs, control panels, screen savers, etc...
Leopard is looking more and more like the upgrade from XP to Vista, where you lose as many features as you gain.
The sad thing is, there was no simple way to see all you would lose by "upgrading" to Leopard. At least Microsoft gives you a matrix (albeit confusing) to see what version of Vista you need so you won't lose something you need. With Leopard, the gives you five pretty examples of what you MIGHT be able to do, but no indication of what you will no longer be able to do.
I don't usually participate in the discussion boards, but I just went to dial a number in my address book and realized another of the "upgraded features" of Leopard.
This is getting frustrating.
Does anyone know of a third-party solution for dialing from the address book?
Thank you.

The address book syncs via iCloud, not Bluetooth or iTunes.
You upgraded to Lion so you could use iCoud.
On the computer. go to Apple menu > System prefs > iCloud.
Sign into your iCloud account.
Tick everything.
This enalbes the se items syncing to iCloud.
On the iPad, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Create a new iCloud account.
Sign in with the same AppleID as your computer.
Settings > iCloud and turn everything on.
BAM!
That is all you need to do.
Your contacts (and all other checked items checked) will sync between computer and iPad.
No need to use iTunes

Automator, Address book & Bluetooth - Automatic vCard sender.

I would like my PowerBook to continuosly scan for nearby Bluetooth devices, and on detection send a vCard to them.
It would also be nice if it only attempted to send the vCard once, previously found device should be left alone.
Could this be done with Automator?
Best regards,

I also can't get my new ROKR to use the Address Book bluetooth functions. I've looked online everywhere and no where is there documentation the matter. I can use iSync but when I click the bluetooth button in Address Book is asks me to pair the device and I do but then it doesn't seem to pair it even tho it says pairing was successful. It just brings me back to Address Book with the bluetooth button gray again forcing me to repair the device.

ICloud Address Book Duplication and Calendar Not Syncing

Hi guys,
I recently upgraded to iCloud despite the number of issues I read about on these forums. My initial reaction was a positive one but now I have two things I am struggling to work out:
My Address Book's search function completely froze up, meaning I couldn't type in the name of the person and they came up. I solved this by deleting an Address Book file in the Library as per a post on these forums. However now when I turned iCloud back on I have ALL of my contacts TWICE. The worst part is that merging them does not work as the system says they are coming for two different sources. Any suggestions? They only list ONCE on the iPhone.
My Calendar is not syncing from iCloud onto my iPhone. I update the Calendar on my laptop but my iPhone calendar does not get any changes to it unless I sync from iTunes. I have iCloud Calendar sync turned on on the laptop and the iPhone. Can you help?
Thanks a lot in advance for anyone able to assist me with these issues. Really appreciate it.
Best regards,
Juha

Solved it myself. What I did:
1) I have four Lion OS and two iOS devices.
2) I kept one computer with the complete address book I wanted to start with but disconnecting it from iCloud's Contact sync via Apple Menu > System Preferences > iCloud uncheck Contact Sync
3) Logged into iCloud.com and deleted all the contacts and groups manually ( many keyboard shortcuts worked )
4) On the main computer, using textedit, I replaced semicolons I was using to delimit items in the notes field with backslashes.
5) Once I confirmed all the other computers and devices had no entries in Address Book, on the main computer I turned back on iCloud Contact syncing. It worked. Correct count of entries and no more breaking notes at the semicolons!
6) Immediately all the other iCloud computers and devices updated to the correct notes! Finally.

How can I delete ALL of my Address Book entries and start fresh?

Yes. I know that sounds extreme, but……
I use Outlook on a PC at my office, and I have an sbcglobal/Yahoo mail account. I look upon my office Outlook as my ultimate contacts list (over 1,100 entries) and my calendar.
I use the sbc supplied free Intellisync software to sync all of my calendar and contacts from my office PC into sbc/Yahoo. That way I actually get e-mail reminders of appointments, etc. in addition to my Outlook notifications. It is actually pretty nifty.
I have also successfully signed-on to my Yahoo account at home on my MAC and exported all of my contacts from Yahoo (which had been populated by the PC Outlook listings via Intellisync) onto my desktop and then imported them into Address Book. But I did that some time ago and now my Outlook listings have been updated rather substantially. I would like to able to do a complete re-install of the new and improved contacts from the Yahoo repository.
Again - I certainly do not want to delete the Address Book app itself – I just want to start with a clean slate so there are no conflicts or duplicate entries (which in fact is seemingly a bug in the Yahoo/Intellisync. Is there a way to completely wipe clean all of my Address Book entries?
Thanks

Hello Allan -
Your help on a previous post was great re: my wanting to know how to delete the Address Book contents so I can re-import an updated list form my office Outlook, via my yahho/sbcglobal import.
Well - here is an interesting quandary:
I have successfully exported my yahoo address book/contacts as a .vcf file Yet - once I have expunged the prior Address Book data and want to now import the NEW Yahoo data to rebuild the database it only takes (enters) the phone numbers and does NOT import ANY of the address information. I am positive I did this once since our original exchange and everything transferred just fine, but now….?!
What I cannot determine is where the fault may be: does the export NOT include the addresses (in which case I am doing something fundamentally stupid wit the export) or the vcf cards are complete, but Address Book is not “seeing” anything other than the phone #s and e-mail addresses.
Any thoughts?
Dazed and confused

Sharing certain groups in address book rather than the whole address book

Hi
I haven't got server yet in our office but we are looking to do this. Currently we just share calendars and other bits and pieces but I'm looking to get server in place. Sharing the address book requires giving a user our iCloud password and letting them look at the address book as a whole. We really only want to share certain phone numbers like our company staff phone numbers rather than our financial clients and other sensitive contacts.
Is it possible to only allow a "user" to access certain, or 1 group in address book rather than the whole address book library itself by using osx server
Many thanks

Hi Jaime,
I just wanted to jump in here with a quick question... on Mac OS X Server my understanding was that with the open directory, you can't designate organizational groups for the ldap service. Without that ability, how are you limiting what ldap users can see?
In our setup, our LDAP settings would be similar to
cn=users,dc=example,dc=com
What format would you use to say show only members of the group "examplegroup"?
Thanks!
