Address Book SMS and Motorola ROKR

I have recently updated to 10.4.6 and have synced addresses and calendars successfully. When syncing I did and erase and replace to the phone and all synced fine. Now....
It seems to be a common problem on the forums that you can not use the SMS from address book. Is that correct and is there anything to do that can correct this.
Also when I now try to text using the phone the phone hangs and the sendto option is greyed out, so I can not text and have to take the battery out to get the phone back. Does anyone know what has happened or experienced this?

I haven't tried with a ROKR, I have with a RAZR. With the the RAZR the feature is not available with Address Book. But there are 3rd party options.

Who changed Address Book SMS and Dial configuration settings ??

Address Book suddenly stopped allowing me to SMS from my K610i mobile phone... Furtunately someone posted a fix where you can add the phone id string to the AddressBook application settings.
Anyone know if there was there a recent update from Apple that changed some of the AddressBook application settings to disable this feature ?

With Bluetooth on, if you look at Address Book's window you should see a bluetooth icon on the top bar, to the right of the drop-down menu icon that looks like a wee gear wheel. This bluetooth icon needs to be blue for SMS messaging. If it is grey, click it and see if anything interesting happens.

BlackBerry Z10 - Address Book SMS/Email Distribution List

Will the BlackBerry Z10/Q10 have available the Address Book SMS and Email Distribution List's feature as it did with its predecessors? This feature is built into the Address Book and does not sync with Outlook.

I can't believe there is no distribution list on the new blackberry 10 system. I use distribution lists every day. This may be a deal breaker for this phone. Why not support something so simple?

Address Book SMS

It doesn't look like using the SMS feature in the address book works with the ROKR. Anyone been able to make it work?

Motorola's Bluetooth Profile in this and other phones does not support this feature directly unlike a nokia or sony ericsson. hence the reason there isn't the normal "use with address book" option when you initially pair the phone. the only was to do this would be to use a program called BLue Phone Elite

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?

Address Book Sync and SyncServices

Anyone know what "Sync Services" are and why it keeps loading and running "Address Book Sync" and eating up 100% of my Intel CPU? What is this "syncing" with and why? Did my trial subscription to .Mac do this?

Thank you for the quick answer. This looks like something that is programmed into the iLife suite of applications (Address Book, iCal, etc...). I can't find anything on my machine (via Spotlight) that suggest an application that manages this or allows you to turn it off.
I think the reason for the high CPU utilization was my importing a 16,000 entry tab-delimited contact file into Address Book. I guess the Sync framework was busy distributing these new entries to all the other iWorks applications. It's quiet now, so I guess it launches itself when it sees the need to "sync-up" it's other member applications when data changes in one of them.
Thanks again for the help!

Lost my address book entries and current mail program.

I recently installed Leopard on my G-4 and was not satisfied with it so I attempted to downgrade back to Tiger. In order to do this I had to reinstall Panther which I did, only I lost all my user settings, etc., even though I had checked the box to save. When my desktop appeared, my address book and mail program was empty. I backed up my mail program but have been unable to access my mail from 2007, only up to 2006. I went to Previous Systems, but again, only up to 2006. I have been all over my hard drive looking for my old address book but haven't found anything. Would my old address book still be there and if so, where? And how can I access my mail from 2007, even on the program that is backed up?
Any help on these two topics is greatly appreciated.

5 crashes after upgrade to ios my address book immediately and I can not access emails, because the password is wrong and when I go to mail settings crashes the application immediately from

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.

How to Sync Address Book, iCal and Safari bookmarks with Blackberry Storm

I recently purchased a Blackberry Storm and have been trying to sync my Address Book, iCal and Safari bookmarks without any luck. I downloaded the PocketMac SyncManager from BlackBerry but the sync fails when I connect the Storm to my MacBook Pro. Any suggestions as to how one gets this to work?

I read that Mark/space had problems and wasn't working very good..

I have no idea what's going on and would appreciate any advice. tks in advance, Sarah
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

Address Book, iCal and Gmail

I would like to make Gmail my default source for Address Book entries and iCal entries on my Intel Mac running Lion and my iPad. There seems to an 'almost' option in Address Book when setting up for Gmail, however, it only states my mac

I have heard a lot about how the new 2.0 software will work with Microsoft exchange, but i have heard nothing about how it will work with ical and address book, or if gmail users will get any added email benefits.... so someone please give me some good news....
How it will work with iCal and Address Book in what way? With over the air syncing?
If so, only with Apple's new Me.com service which is replacing their .Mac service. This will provide over the air syncing for contact information and calendar events between iCal and Address Book on a Mac, with the iPhone, and when accessing your Me.com account via Safari on any Mac, or with Safari or a supported browser on a Windows PC. The Me.com account will be push email.
Regarding any added benefits for a Gmail account, I don't believe so, unless Gmail plans on adding some benefits such as push-IMAP account access.

Address book freezes and loses cards

While entering a new card, the address book froze and after forcing quit, all the cards were gone. Fortunately most were back-upped. Any ideas, an Intel virus perhaps, that's a joke.

Hi,
I followed your suggestions from the thread linked below, unfortunately it didn't do the trick... I just lost a no backup addressbook after the compter froze while entering a new contact. I'm hoping the corrupt/lost file is floating somewhere, waiting for me to dig it up. What do you think? Thanks!

Address book app and Addresses pane in Mail not synced

Address book app and Addresses pane in Mail not synced
I add a contact to Address Book app eg [email protected], this address is not imediatley available to use in Apple Mail app.
The address [email protected] eventually appears in the Address panel in Maill app, it can take from 3 minutes to hours to appear, surely both apps are reading the same database.
This is particularly problematic when adding new contacts to groups and then emailing that group, Im never sure the group in Mail app is the same as the group in Address Book app.
Nothing seems to speed up this process ie quitting and re-opening Mail app or Address book app.
I have tried deletting "AddressBook-v22.abcddb" ~/Library/Aplication Suport/Address Book
I have tried forcing ~/Library/Aplication Suport/Address Book to re-index.
I have also restarted, repaired permissions, ran fsck -fy in single user mode.

Because the sender has their name as part of the email address that is sent, and when they send you a message that matches the one in your Address Book, it's updated to show their name as Mail received it. But if you had previously sent them email before that update occurred, then your Previous Recipients database in Mail doesn't use that newly updated information in Address Book.

Font book is sick and causing Address Book, Safari, and Mail problems

Address Book, Mail, and Safari will only run if I have Font Book open. If I try to open the programs without opening Font Book they don't appear and I have to Force Quit and reopen after opening Font Book.
I run a publishing company and load and unload lots of fonts to Font Book. I guess its something I loaded recently because I now have the problem on both the computers I work on. I have no idea which fonts might be causing the problem.
What can I do?

Hello Dave,
If you've already tried cornelius' suggestion and wound up in the same place, then you've likely added a corrupt font or two to those two Macs. While the steps to clean up Font Book are correct, a bad font will immediately corrupt the new Font Book database when loaded.
So try this. Create an empty folder on your desktop and move all of the fonts you added to those Macs to the empty folder. Then perform the funtion to clean up font book again. Lastly, download and run Mark Douma's Font Finagler to clear the font cache files on the system, since they will also be damaged.
If that clears things up, then use Font Doctor to examine your fonts in the temporary folder on your desktop to repair them (if possible) before adding them back to the system.

Moving Safari bookmarks, address book info and mail messages to new machine

I recently got a new powerbook and would like to transfer my safari bookmarks, mail messages and address book information over to the new machine. What would be the best way to do this? I'd like to keep the old information on the desktop and simply add the information to the new machine.

Yeah - but the kicker is, I don't want to transfer everything, just the safari bookmarks, the address book information and selected mail folders that are "On My Mac"
