Address book not syncing properly with Mail

When I press "Add to Address Book" it adds it, but then doesn't properly switch to "Open in Address Book." When I add phone numbers, addresses, etc., directly from an email text to address book, they won't show until I quit and re-open Address Book.
Has been happening a few months (under 10.5.6 I think). Anyone have any ideas? I tried pulling the com.apple.AddressBook.plist from my library to the desktop and restarting, but that didn't help.

ICal To-Do list does not sync properly with Mail To-Do list

For some reason, my iCal To-Do List does not sync properly with my Mail To-Do list. Any thoughts on how to get them to sync properly? I always have more To-Dos on my Mail list than my iCal list, which probably means that when I complete a To-Do in iCal, it doesn't register with Mail.
Any thoughts?

ensure that your mail set up is checked for syncing note; your comment on the todo list is valid and i have been asking the same question for a while. ToDo also syncs on blackberry? I guess it shows that third party software is the kick that come corp's need to pick up their act.

Can't get iCal and Address Book to sync properly

I recently upgraded to Office 2008. Since then, I can't get iCal and Address book to sync properly with Entourage 2008 (I did set all three sync criteria in Entourage preferences). None of Entourage's events go into iCal (iCal is blank) and the Address Book has 10 times as many names as Entourage. Everything in Entourage 2008 is correct and everything in iCal and Address Book is essentially wrong.
Is there some way for me to erase everything in Address Book and iCal and start the sync between them and Entourage from scratch? Ultimately, I am trying to get Entourage to sync with my new Blackberry, which it does through iCal and Address Book using Missing Sync. I can't make this happen until information is flowing properly from Entourage to iCal and Address Book.
Thank you!

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING - BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA IN ENTOURAGE.
You can delete everything in iCal by deleting the calendar (Entourage or Personal or temp or whatever Calendar is there). You can delete everything in Address book either by highlighting all the contacts and hitting delete or by deleting the Address Book folder in Address Book.
The key in getting them to sync properly with Entourage is deleting all the preferences in your Library folder under <your user>. Delete anything with Microsoft Entourage in it. I also deleted iCal preferences and Address Book Preferences.
I also found it necessary to go to the Office folder and delete the sync services folder.
Also go to Entourage sync services and turn OFF syncing with iCal and Address Book. Exit Entourage.
Go to your application folder, isync - reset sync history (button at bottom of screen).
Then bring up Entourage, sync services, and reactivate syncing with iCal and Address Book.
Everything should work. I have been struggling with this the last week or two. I've had innumerable exchanges with MS who have said anything with syncing is not their problem it's an apple application. Through these discussion boards I pieced together all of the elements above. But be sure to back up anything you want to keep before you do any of this.
It should work. It did for me (at least last night and all day today). Good luck.

Address Book not syncing with Exchange 2007

My address book on Snow Leopard has 4093 cards, but not all of them are showing up in my contacts folder in Outlook Web Access. My company uses Exchange 2007. This is strange as I originally populated my address book by syncing it with my cards on Outlook. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Address Book not syncing with Google Apps

so i thought this will be resolved after reinstalling 10.5.7 (i tried a lot of tweaks in the earlier installation to make this work) but it seems that even with a clean install it wouldnt work.
address book authenticates with google but no updates are being sent or recieved.
did anyone manage to get this working ? i have a feeling its not out of the box...

Hi guys,
I have a similiar problem. My address booked has synced correctly with google contacts since 2 years
And suddenly it stopped syncing. Furthermore when I go to settings/acconts I still find
my "Local" account where i configured my google account, but now the right window is empty.
There is no button to edit or show this account !!
(I mentioned this after update to 10.6.8, but I'm not sure if it worked shortly before doing the update)
What could be wrong ?

Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks

This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

My iPad is not syncing properly with my calendar on my computer. Everything is a day off on the IPad. Any suggestions?

My iPad calendar is not syncing properly with my computer. Everything in the iPad Calendar is one day off....any suggestions?

Susan,
Also note that the calender can be set to preserve a time zone by going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and turning ON Time Zone Support - but then your flight times will be correct for the local time zone...found that one while on travel and the calender was showing a flight time that was an hour earlier than I thought it was. I had not turned on Time Zone support and it moved the time I had entered at home to the time of the local zone.
Convenient as long as you pay attention

Why does my address book not sync to iCloud?

Why does my address book not sync to iCloud?

I believe the duplicate address book accounts stems from the move from MobileMe to iCloud and both accounts still being active.
This is how I merged the two address books:
1) To make sure all the contacts are in both:
a) I selected On My Mac account - clicked on any address - Command A to select all - drag the contacts to the iCloud account - answered OK to merge and resolve duplicates.
b) same in reverse: select the iCloud account - click on an address - click Command A to select all - drag the contacts to the On My Mac account - answer OK to merge and resolve duplicates.
In system preferences I found an iCloud icon and also a MobileMe icon. I was logged in under both.
1) In the Address Book preferences I selected iCloud and unchecked Enable this account.
2) In the Address Book I selected iCloud and clicked on the minus “-” to remove that account – leaving only the local Mac address book.
3) I went into system preferences and logged out of MobileMe
4) In system preferences I opened iCloud and the “Contacts” was not selected (from above) and I selected it.
I got a dialog box asking if I wanted to merge the iCloud contact with the local contacts – clicked YES.
… spinning wheel for a minute … voila – only one address book account – iCloud with syncing to iCloud and my iPhone.

"Smart Groups" in Address Book not syncing to the iPhone

"Smart Groups" in Address Book not syncing to the iPhone
Normal Groups sync but smart groups do not.
Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix?
Thanks.

This same concept applies to syncing two macs via .Mac
The method I use for iPhone is this.
Define your smart group as needed.
Define a read group with a similar or convenient name.
From time to time drag your whole smart group to the real group.
The real group is the one that then syncs to your iPhone.
As a safety factor, I usually clear all entries from my real group before I drag over the updated smart group.
Anyway, this is simple and works well.
Hope that helps.

Not Syncing Properly with Gmail

Hello fellow Mac owners/fans,
I am new to Snow Leopard. Just upgraded from Tiger today. Such a nice improvement! Anyways, as such, I was setting everything up when I ran into a problem with Mail
Mail is not syncing properly with Gmail. My Gmail account has roughly 5800 total messages and 1900 unread messages (I need to clean it up quite a bit, I know ). Mail shows it as having 8500 total messages and 2200 unread messages. Mail is quite wrong. I don't know if I accidentally fetched some of the Gmail files twice, or what, but I would like for Mail to be correctly synced with Gmail.
Any ideas on what to do? Is there a quick fix or am I going to have to reset Mail?
I very much appreciate any help! Thanks for your time!
-Kyle

Hello,
You may have the dreaded double download disease. I was just fighting the bug this morning, and may have a cure that I am hoping some other guinea pig will test.
You may want to check and see if you see duplicate emails in Mail. If you want to know more about the issue you can search duplicate emails.
Anyway the secret medicine if it is a duplicate issue may be below. (It seems to be working for my issue, but am trying to get some other confirmation)
I came across an old hint (from 2001 at Mac OS X hints)
It states:
Avoid receiving duplicate emails in Mail.app
Sun, Dec 23 2001 at 9:54AM PST • Contributed by: NikWest
There is a hidden default for Mail, which I do not think has been mentioned here. You can avoid receiving duplicate Messages (e.g. from mailing lists) by opening a Terminal and typing:
defaults write com.apple.mail UniqueMessagesBeforeRouting 1
Before receiving the whole message, the message ID (a mail header) will be checked. If there's already a mail with this message ID, it will be discarded.
To disable the feature, repeat the command with a '0' at the end instead of a '1'.
This seems to work for now, any one else willing to try?
Good luck

Contacts on my iphone does not sync properly with icloud.

Contacts on my iphone does not sync properly with icloud. I have merged data with facebook contacts, and this merged information appears as I want it to be on icloud.com. But on the iphone, the facebook contacts and the icloud contact appear separately.
I have tried exporting the contacts out of icloud.com, then deleting all contacts on both icloud.com and on the iphone; then importing the vcard back into icloud.com, but the facebook details still appear as a separate contact. It is too time consuming to merge all of my contacts manually What should I do in order for the iphone to display the contacts as it is on icloud.com?

Is there some sort of Facebook tag on the vCard?

Address Books not syncing on one iPhone

I am running GroupWise Mobility Service 2.0.0, Build 429. I have 25 iPhone 5c's connected to it. All but one work perfectly. One iPhone syncs email and calendar but does not receive any of the users address books (there are two that should sync). I've reset the device to factory defaults from the Mobility Service admin console, from the device and from iTunes. I've deleted the user and added back. I've resync'd the user. I've noticed that on the Mail, Contacts, Calendars screen, the Default Account parameter appears for a short period of time then completely disappears. I've configured the user's iPad which has the same Apple account as the iPhone had orginally, and have the same results. Thinking there was something in the Apple account that was causing the issue, I had the user create a new Apple account for this phone and configured it after resetting the device. None of the above helped. Email and calendar sync perfectly. The address books have never sync'd with the device.
Anyone have any ideas?

I am assuming they are both selected in the GMS webadmin for this user,
if not check there first.
Is there any address book name conflicts? I.e. Same name in GW as is on
the device?
Next would be to use mcheck

n/data/admin_mgt_mcheck.html
if still having a problem,
Export the contents of one of the address books, import it to new
address book, and sync it.

Subscribed address book not synced to iPhone

I shared my address book with my wife, and she subscribes to it. Unfortunately, the shared contacts do not make it to her iPhone during a sync. Any Ideas why?
Also, what's the difference between subscribing to a mac address book and syncing using mobileme?
Thanks!

I also have this issue. My contacts sync fine from the computer to Mobileme, but the groups don't sync to the iphone. This leaves me with an empty "Groups" window as described by eltons. If I sync through itunes, with Mobileme contacts sync off on the iphone, the groups show up.
Any ideas? Is this consistent with the original post?
