Address Book Source Sync every 30 seconds when using computer

Hi,
I previously had the issue where my MBA 2013 1.7 i7, 8GB, 500GB was draining the battery in sleep mode. Figured out it was Avast and problem solved.
Now, however, I check on the power management logs from time to time when awake there is the following log:

This doesnt seem normal at all. I have disabled the syncing of all contacts in iCloud prefs but it still persists. Surely if such a process reccurs every 30 seconds it has an effect?
Anyone got any ideas or have experience with this? Seems like Mavericks isn't so great at power saving afterall!

Please test after taking each of the following steps.
Step 1
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBookSourceSync
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash.
Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, go to the next step.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane. Press return to confirm, or click Keep on Mac in the dialog that opens.
Step 3
From the list of groups on the left side of the Contacts window, select All On My Mac. If that group doesn't exist or is empty, skip this step. Otherwise, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Export ▹ Export vCard
Save the exported contacts to the Desktop.
Step 4
Quit Contacts. Reveal the following item in the Finder as you did in Step 1:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
Move the selected folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.
Step 5
Launch Contacts. Your contacts will be gone. If you took Step 3, then double-click the file you created in that step and confirm that you want to import from it. Your contacts will reappear.
Step 6
If you took Step 2, reverse it. Test. If the issue is resolved, delete the AddressBook folder and the vCard file on the Desktop and close the open folder window.
Otherwise, quit Contacts again and put the AddressBook folder back where it was, overwriting the newer one that will have been created in its place. Post your results.

  • Address book source sync keeps MBPr awake

    I have been seeing this weird process keeping my MBPr awake for no apparent reason. and i know its awake because when i pull it out of my bad after whole night its very warm at the bottom and battery has drained like 40 percent overnight.
    I have tried to pinpoint the reason and found that there is a process called "Address book source sync" that keeps my notebok awake. so i decided to get rid of iCloud, as i dont need it. it didnt work, so i formatted the whole HDD and reinstalled mavericks from scratch and never logged into iCloud. it was ok for couple of days and now again i am seeing this process keeping my notebook awake. i dont know what to do, please help me.

  • HT204085 what is Address Book Source sync?

    why do I have to keep logging in to irt to access the internet?

    Sorry typo
    My question is why do I have to repeatedly provide my login keychain?
    Safari will send a popup box every so often--ususally when I'm trying to enter information into
    work or another website.  Since the iCloud business started I get several other types of demands
    for my login keychain--AdrressBook somenthing or other, CalendarAgent whatever.  I don't use the adress book program.  Nor do I use a calendar program.  Mac users are not immune to viruses--how do I know that this
    is not phishing or some other intruder?
    Thanks for taking an interest in my concern.

  • HT2486 When I use my iPhone Siri for dialing, it is better to have the names in the address book listed singularly. But when I want to print envelopes from the address book in a formal manner - "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". Is there any way to have both options?

    When I use my iPhone Siri for dialing, it is better to have the names in the address book listed singularly. But when I want to print envelopes from the address book in a formal manner - "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". Is there any way to have both options?

    Only way I can figure is having double entries one with singular + some unique field, (maybe called Siri), then making a Smart group for one or both.

  • Address Book & Gmail sync problem - have no buttons

    Hi.
    I have SL 10.6.8 and want to establish sync between Address Book & GmailContacts. Many people wrote what AB have "Preferenses/Accounts/GoogleSync", but not mine. When I try to to this, I see empty place. look at screenshot.
    This is a SL glich or what?
    That is snapshot

    Looking for a solution to this too!
    I keep my iPhone contacts & Apple Address Book in sync through iTunes & recently thought of keeping my Gmail contacts in sync with the Apple Address Book as well. Researching online showed this is pretty much a dead end in terms of a simple sync for the user but since I use my iPhone & Apple Address Book to mainly control & edit my contacts, every now & then I just create a backup of 'vcards' with the date of that day & import them as a new group to Gmail. This new group will say something to the extent of 'Apple Address Book Jul-28-2010'.
    I don't make changes to my Gmail contacts but constantly delete the old Apple Address Book 'group' & keep only the latest one. That way all changes are brought upon my Gmail contacts as well. Even though there might be duplicates, it's easy to sort out cause you know which ones came from your Apple Address Book.
    Definitely not the most ideal solution but works for now...

  • Suddenly ICal & Address Book stopped syncing with Outlook for Mac

    2 days ago, ICal and Address Book stopped syncing with Outlook for Mac 2011.  I still have full functionality of Email in Outlook.
    What is wrong and how can I fix it?

    Any solution here yet? I have the same issue. After upgrading to Yosemite Outlook for mac kept requiring me to "rebuild identity database"
    I did this many times so there were many new identities.
    Finally I researched and found out that after the Yosemite update outlook would rebuild identity and once you do that there is a mismatch of your email account in outlook which just needs to be deleted and re-added to fix.
    Now since then my outlook contacts and apple address book do not speak to each other.
    If I make a new contact on my iphone and sync with my mac it will appear in apple address book.
    If I make a new contact in outlook it will not appear on the iPhone.
    So the phone is communicating and syncing with apple address book but wherever the apple address book goes to find the outlook contacts it must be using one of the older "identities"
    Also now when I am in outlook and go from email to contacts it takes about 20 seconds to open the 5,300 contacts and it used to be instant.
    Is there a way to view where outlook is getting the data? When I go into Outlook Preferences, Sync Services, "On My Computer:" is the one that is chosen so that should be good.
    Any help?

  • Not all fields in Address Book are syncing

    For some reason not all the fields in my address book get synced from one computer to another. The template for all the fields in address book are the same on the different computers but the 'Department' field does not get synced. Any ideas how to fix this?

    So sorry...yes I'm using Contacts from Outlook.
    When I launch Field Mapping from the Advanced Settings for Address Book, the Handheld fields that are available for me to map to my Contacts in Outlook, do not include the fields previously mentioned so there is no way for me to map them to a destination field in Outlook.
    Maybe I'm using an old version of Desktop Manager??? Mine is version 3.6.0.63 (June 11 2003)...could you please let me know what version you have?
    Many thanks!

  • ITunes can't see my address book to sync

    I have a MacBook running OSX 10.4.9 and iTunes 7.2. On either my 1st gen or video ipod, when trying to turn on contact syncing I get the message:
    No contacts available
    Contact syncing cannot be enabled because there are no contact available. Do you want to open the address book and create contacts now?
    There are options to cancel or open address book only. When I open my address book there are all of my contacts and nothing appears to be corrupt. I have tried to even backup my contacts and empty the address book to sync an empty address book, but it give the same message. My only thought is that I started to have random problems when I tried using file vault encryption and had to turn it off. Maybe some file path problem crept in. Any ideas?
    Chris

    Mine is doing the exact same thing, and nobody on any of these threads has had any luck fixing it yet, so far as I can tell. iSync is worthless since it simply won't see the ipod and basically is not used at all now as .mac is done through its own preference window. What did work for me, and was quite easily done, was to just open your ipod through the finder and delete the vcard data in the contacts folder. Export your contacts from address book as a vcard to that contacts folder on your ipod, and it all works fine.
    Still won't sync...but at least this only takes a minute to do. I'd like to actually fix it though.

  • Address Book/iPhone Sync of custom fields

    Why doesn't my iPod Touch (which is all set up to sync with my Mobile Me account) sync the custom fields that are set up in my Address Book?
    They show up when I log onto Me.com and look in the Address Book from online. So I know that the Mobile Me "cloud" is accepting the custom fields. Why doesn't my iPod Touch sync them? All the other fields sync up just fine.

    Closely related question:
    The "Related Names" field has always been available in the computer version of Address Book. (Spouse, Child, Assistant, Parent, etc.) This is a VERY useful field, and its absence in the iPhone version of the application is extremely annoying. In fact, it would be even more useful on the phone than on the computer. (e.g., I'm talking to someone and I can't remember his wife's name, so I pull out my iPhone to look this up -- AND IT'S NOT THERE BECAUSE THE FIELD IS NOT AVAILABLE ON THE iPHONE!) And as you mentioned, it's one of the fields that DO appear in the online cloud version of MobileMe Contacts.
    I cannot imagine any valid reason for this not having been included. There are lots of similar fields that do appear on the iPhone that have multiple choices for the label (phone, email, etc. all provide a drop-down choice as to the label, just like the related names field).
    So, Apple People if you are listening: Was this omission simply an unfortunate oversight? Are there any plans to fix this? I keep waiting for such an obvious omission to be fixed with each iPhone software update, but this has not happened.
    Thanks for any wisdom on this!

  • Address Book- Contacts Sync Problems!!!

    So, I got my iPhone and synced it to my iMac when I bought it 3 weeks ago. I found out that my iPhone doesn't sync the contacts I input into it onto my Address Book, (My sync only works one way) and was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this.
    Also, this weekend, when I synced my iPhone, my Contacts list started duplicating random contacts. Some of the duplicates are exactly the same. However, there are also some duplicates that are past versions of the contact cards. (i.e. I edited the card, but my iPhone sometimes loads the past versions).
    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    (I'm very annoyed)

    I have this exact same problem. I've manually de-dupped my iPhone contact list at least 5 times. This is not a good use of my time and it's ineffective. I'd like the sync to work correctly and have a way to automatically get rid of duplicates on my phone.
    Or at least a way to delete multiple contacts at once instead of one at a time.

  • How do i prompt Address Book to sync?

    To Forum,
    My Address book syncs with Google and vice versa. How do i prompt Address Book to sync once i have updated items within it? i see it syncs here and there on its own accord? whats the prompt? what do i have to do? or why does it sync when it does?

    . . .from my old address book.  (10.4.11)    I tried to import the ABBU file into CONTACTS  (10.8.2 ) .  The drop down warned that this would "replace" the existing contacts.  That is what I wanted to do.  Writing over the dozen addresses that I had copied from old emails was no big deal, but now those are gone and the address book is EMPTY.  The new addresses are gone and the old addresses did not import.

  • How to avoid booking of stock every time, when ever I make Delivery

    Hello friends,
    Need your help again
    1) When I am making the delivery, at the time of PGI, system asks for sale order stock.
         I donu2019t want to book stock of material against sales order, whenever I make delivery.
    How can I avoid booking of stock every time, when ever I make Delivery?
    2) Can any one tell how we can relate Moment Type with Delivery Type., and how system  recognize which Movement type is to be used for Good Issue and Good Receipt..
    I will be thankful if I may get any response.
    Thanks
    Siddharth

    Hi
    At the time of PGI the system asks for sales order stocks?
    This is picked by the system because of the special stock indicator E in the VOV7 settings of your sales order item category
    If MTO by default the item category will have this special stock indicator E which is correct
    I think you are doing MTS only but your item category is marked with specialstock indicator as E
    Remove this from VOV7 and create a fresh order cycle and see
    Now it will not ask for special stock at the time of PGI
    Dont test it with existing order test it new order cycle after changes in VOV7
    Movement type as all said comes from your schedule line category only in VOV6
    Regards
    Raja

  • 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?

  • Custom image from Address book not syncing to Exchange.

    I am running Mac OS X v 10.7.5. I have added custom images to contacts in address book. I have an Exchange account which will sync the data (ie name, address, email) but not the custom image. Is there away to have custom images sync to Exchange/Outlook?

    I'm Running Mac OS X Lion, and have seen that changes made in the mac address book do not sync to gmail contacts but changes to gmail contacts do sync to the mac address book.
    Making a change to a contact on my phone does sync to gmail contacts, and then to the mac address book.
    Another test I ran was to change the same contact in gmail and mac address book.  I made a change to a mobile number and notes in one contact on my mac address book, attempted to sync, and the change does not appear in my gmail contacts.  I tried multiple times, restarted my web browser, restarted mac address book, the sync would not work.  I changed the same contact mobile number in gmail with a slightly different change to the notes field so I could see when an update occurred, and when I told mac address book to sync it recognized a conflict. When I select the mac address book change to resolve the conflict, the gmail contact is not updated.  When I repeated the experiment and selected the gmail contact to resolve the conflict the change is made in the mac address book.
