Address book SEPARATE from the phone's contact lis...

I want to retire my Palm Pilot and keep all the data on my Symbian phone (5800 xpressMusic).  The bulk of the data from my Address Book in the Palm Pilot does not belong in my phone book - mostly business entities for which I only need addresses and large notes.  Plus, those familiar with Palm may realize that if I have large notes, the phones Contact list only shows the first line until I go in to edit.
  Does anyone know of a separate address book / contacts app that can be downloaded to keep a list that's not in the phone's Contacts?  I've been able to replace most of the apps, even my password safe.
  Or should I just wait to see if HP, which bought Palm recently, puts out a good phone soon with the Palm OS?  (yes, I am joking)

Hi,
I have a similar problem.
My old Palm had the "private" mask that hides all the private information. Such a simple idea.
I couldn't find a complete solution.
But, 2 alternatives:
1) In the Nokia QT Development website there's a simple address book project
2) The application DBViewerPlus let you build simple databases quickly.

  • My iPhone is stolen. How can I get my address book back from the iCloud? I should have synchronized my iPad address book. However, I loss some recent contacts from iPhone.

    My iPhone is stolen. How can I get my address book back from the iCloud? I should have synchronized my iPad address book. However, I loss some recent contacts from iPhone.

    I use my iPad to get the address book backed up by iCloud from my iPhone. However, I cannot see the recent new contacts from my iPad. Is there anyway to check the iCloud server to see if my address book backup from my iPhone is still there?

  • How do I replace address book on iMac with iPad/iPhone contact info?

    I've been using my iPad and iPhone to record contact information, and they sync with each other via iCloud. I realize now I should have recording this on the iMac and then syncing with the other devices.
    But at this point, I'd like to replace all address book information on my iMac with the iPad/iPhone contact information. What's the best way to do this? I'm concerned that, while trying to sync either device with the iMac, I might somehow do the opposite - replace contact info on the device with address book info from the iMac.
    I appreciate any suggestions.

    Start by backing up the contacts on your Mac by opening Address Book (Contacts) and going to File>Export>Contacts Archive, save this on your desktop.  Then download the app My Contacts Backup to your iPhone and use it to back up your contacts as a vCard attachment to an email.  Send this email to yourself. (Note: if you have >500 contacts you'll need to either purchase and use the Pro version, or follow the instructions listed under "Contacts...iCloud.com Contacts" in this guide to dowload them from icloud.com: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4910.)
    I'm assuming at this point that you are NOT syncing contacts on your Mac with iCloud.  If you are, do not perform the steps in this paragraph.  Assuming you are not syncing your Mac contacts with iCloud, open Address Book (Contacts), go to View>Groups, then click on All Contacts.  Click on a single contact, then go to Edit>Select All (Command-A) to select all contacts.  Now press your delete key to delete them.  Your Mac Address Book (Contacts) should now be empty.  Now open the My Contacts Backup email on your Mac and double-click the attachment to import the contacts from your iPhone to your Mac Address Book (Contacts).

  • Access Address Book data from terminal

    Hi everyone,
    I was wondering if there is a way to access Address Book data from the terminal. For instance, I would
    need a command that would output an address of a given person.
    Thanks in advance for your input

    this script could be used in Terminal (save the code below as
    "getaddress" and mark it as executable):
    case $# in
    2) firstname=$1; lastname=$2;;
    *) echo 'Usage: getaddress <firstname> <lastname>' 1>&2; exit 1 ;;
    esac
    count=`osascript -e "tell application \"Address Book\" to count (people whose first name is \"${firstname}\" and last name is \"${lastname}\")"`
    case $count in
    0) echo "$firstname $lastname is not in Address Book." 1>&2; exit 1;;
    1) ;;
    *) echo "There are multiple entries for $firstname $lastname in Address Book (unhandled error)." 1>&2; exit 1;;
    esac
    osascript -e "tell application \"Address Book\" to get formatted address of address of first person whose first name is \"${firstname}\" and last name is \"${lastname}\""

  • I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when i try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported

    I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to Mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when I try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported. Any ideas? 
    Thanks,

    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.

  • How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses  "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear.  Help please!

    As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iPhone's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which is separate from the address book or contacts. The email address autofill feature when addressing an message pulls from Contacts and from the list of previous recipients.
    Different from the Mail app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients with iOS on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to remove a previous recipient from the list, or to add a previous recipient to the address book or contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
    The only way to purge the list of previous recipients at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, which will start being re-populated again with every sent message.

    Archive the contacts you have in Address book, then delete them, they will be removed from iCloud as well. Restore the archive

    I have a similar problem. I actually spoke with a Paypal customer Representative a few months back who informed me that they had deleted all of my previous *Hidden* Address but when I just purchased an item today on a online merchant's site that I had never been to before and checked out using their Paypal option, I noticed that my default shipping address was in fact my old address and when I went to change the address to my current address, I noticed all of the old addresses I ever used were still there. I've just spoken with 2 separate paypal representatives who confirmed on their end that all of the old address have been deleted and the only one they have on file is my current address. Can anyone provide me an explanation as to why the old hidden address can still be showing up when I check out on merchant's sites using paypal even after they've seemingly been deleted? The last Representative suggested clearing out my browser's cache, but I don't believe that will resolve my issue. Thank you in advance.

  • Create a Contact on an address book other than the default one

    Hello everyone,
    I am using a professional address book and calendar on exchange provided by my company. I am also using my iCloud account to manage my personal address book and calendar. I have set up my iphone 4S to display both address book and calendar, this works well, same for the sync mechanism.
    When I create an event on my iPhone using the standard calendar app, I can simply indicate whether it is a personal or professional event.
    When I create a contact using the standard contact app, there is no way to indicate wheter it's personnal or professional. The contact is created on the default address book that I setup in the settings. The only way I found is to hide all categories except the personal one and then create the contact. It is then created not on the default address book but on the only one displayed. It is rather awkward and that does not solve all problems : I have some contacts already created by mistake on my professional address book that I want to move to the personnal one. I found absolutely no way of doing that. The same thing for calendar events is straightforward: open the event for modification, simple toogle the appropriate field from Pro to Personal and you're done.
    Does anyone have a hint for this ?
    Thanks,
    Cyril

  • Since "upgrading" to OS X Lion Outlook 2011 sync services appear not to work and I have no contacts in Address Book apart from me!  Any ideas please?

    Sync Services in Outlook 2011 appear not to work in OS X Lion as I have no contacts in Address Book apart from me!  Any ideas please?

    I had all my contacts deleted one day from muy address book.   The Apple folks said that at times when MS Office sends an update it moves all your contacts from the address book to Outlook contacts.  I had to get into Time Machine to restore my contacts in the address book. 
    If you do this, be sure to update each group, not just the all contacts group because pulling up all contacts will not restore the contacts to the groups you had.
    If you sync with Moble Me, be careful to replace what is on Mobile Me with what is on your comptuer after you are finished restoring the contacts to your satisfaction.
    I haven't switched to iCloud yet so I can't talk about syncing to it.

  • I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

    I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
    I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
    The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
    PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

    I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
    I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

  • In Address Book, how can i modify several contacts (several cards) at the s

    Hello,
    In Address Book, how can i modify several contacts (several cards) at the same time ?
    for exemple : I have 100 contact which live in Paris, I select all of them together, but when I put "Paris" in the field "city", it puts "Paris" only in the fisrt contact !
    how to edit several contact at a time ?
    And I would like to put some kind of "tags", or words, in "remark", also by selecting several contact and edit them together...
    Thanks by advance !
    Alexandre.

    Welcome to the discussions, Alexandre1975 et bonjour.
    Just using Address Book this can't be done, but if you are prepared to try a little Applescript it is easy. This script will set the city for example - but only if there is already an address.
    AK
    click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "Address Book"
    set ContactList to the selection
    repeat with ThisOne in ContactList
    set city of first address of ThisOne to "Paris"
    end repeat
    end tell</pre>
    (The recent upgrade to the discussions has disabled the link that allows direct opening of a script, so run Script Editor and copy in the script.)

  • I have to restore my phone from back up but in order to do it i had to update my software. now that my software is updated there isnt enough room on the phone to back up. is there a way to only restore certain things from the backup like contacts?

    Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

  • 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.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
