Address Book Sync, w/Mobile Phone

I recently bought the new generation iMac 20" and paired my Motorola E398 via bluetooth with my mac. Ive succesfully synced the phones phonebook with Address Book on the iMac, all my contacts where put into Address Book but unfortunatly the mac has deleted the contacts from my phonebook on my mobile phone (almost like a cut & paste job).
Does anyone know of a way to upload my mobile contacts on my mac back to my mobile phone, thanks.

This facility is usually dependent on your network
I am in uk on Vodafone and it doesnt work here
I use a small program called BluePhoneElite with the v3 and it handles sms and the calls very well
They pop up on the powerbook screen and also the sms save to the powerbook
thats the address you can get a free trial
I paid the small amount and have been very happy with it
Now I wish there was a program to handle landline calls
I am just a happy customer nothing to do with the company before anyone asks!

Address Book and Bluetooth Mobile Phone

Hi,
I have been trying to use my bluetooth enabled mobile phone with the address book to dial numbers and send sms. I am using the Nokia 9500 and the Motorola Razr V3 BLK. But when I pair the phone with address book and click on the tab of the contact, address book loses the bluetooth connection and the Send SMS and dial number options are not highlighted.
I have tried looking around for help, but haven't found anything. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me with this.
Best Regards,
Aditya

Why doesn't my address book sync with my phone?

Hi everybody,
I have used isync with my Nokia 6230 ever since I got my first Macbook Pro (had loads of trouble with the first one, and finally support changed it for me: LONG STORY). Today, I was syncing my phone as I normally do and I noticed that nothing happened. To my surprise, I looked at the phone only to find duplicate (sometimes triplicate) entries of every single contact. I erased all duplicate entries (real hard work..) and tried syncing it again. What happened was that the whole address book in my mac got erased. After that I tried to sync it again and again, but the contacts simply did not leave my cell phone and enter the computer's address book. They still don't and I'm pretty annoyed :-S!
I tried all the back up routine but nothing worked... I guess all the sync tries ended up ruining the address book's backup system. Since I did not make a backup of my address, I'm pretty stuck. Fortunately everything is in my cell phone but, as I said, I can't put it back in the address book for an unknown reason.
Any thoughts on what I should do?
Thank you very much in advance
João

Thank you Julian, I think your idea might end up in a solution.
Even though my phone (Nokia 6230) doesn't have the "Send all contacts" option, I tried to send an individual vCard for testing purposes: the address book accepted it with arms wide open (like that silly Creed song). Because I'm stubborn, I tried to sync my phone with my one-contact address book and ended up with two different people on my phone with exactly the same name and number (along with everybody else fortunately...).
I'm guessing if I do this for the WHOLE cell phone contact list, I'll have an address book on my mac by Christmas eve . I'll mark this question as answered when I'm done doing this and follow the rest of your advice.
This raises two important questions:
- What happened in the first place?
- Is Apple going to develop a more complete syncing software where weird things such as these do not happen?
Any thoughts on these issues? It really annoys me when I don't understand what's wrong with the equipment I use...
Thank you for your time and patience.

Import vcf into Address Book loosing multiple mobile phone numbers

When I import vcf entries that hold more than one mobile phone number, all but the first number is lost. This behavior changed from address book version 4.1.2 (osx 10.5 leopard) to address book version 5.0.1 (snow leopard - 10.6.2).
You can try yourself:
create an entry in the address book that has multiple mobile phone numbers, export that entry as a vcf file, delete the entry in the address book and reimport the vcf file. All but the first mobile phone number is lost! It works correct in addressbook in leopard but does not anymore in the latest version of snow leopard. I even think the error just appeard after the last update to 10.6.2!
Apple, please fix this bug!

Address Book 5.0.1 multiple field issues:
We have found the same thing. It seems to only be Address Book 5.0.1 which is affected. We are cautiously using our previous version 5.0 (from Snow Leopard 10.6.1) which seems not to be affected.
It is also a problem if you merge records. We have found that any fields which have matching labels will be deleted leaving only one. In some cases other fields which do not match label are also deleted. We have also experienced an issue with the preferences for the formatting of Phone Numbers in the preferences dialog no longer working correctly.
We have reported this to Apple RADAR bug reports. We have referenced this thread too.
In the meantime our advice is to:
Back up your Apple Address Book contacts and keep the backup safe.
carefully use Address Book v 5.0 from Snow Leopard 10.6.1 (cautiously at your own risk as there may be issues using a version that is not designed for 10.6.2 - back up your address book first). This version has always seemed pretty reliable for us.
If you continue to use v 5.0.1 do not merge any contacts. do not run find duplicates (just in case). do not import any contacts into the address book.

Using Address Book with 2 mobile phones

Since a few weeks I have a second mobile phone that I also use with iSync for contact and calendar synchronisation. The problem was that Address Book could only pair with / connect to the newly added phone, not the 'old phone' anymore.
I found some old threads with the same problem stated, but no answers were given. I did find a fix for it though. I used the application Pref Setter to clear the preferences of Address Book (you can also delete the file located at: /library/preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist). Restart Address Book and the bleutooth mobile phone entry is now empty again. You will be able to choose a phone to pair with.
However, if anyone knows how to use 2 phones simultaniously, please tell me!
Powerbook 12" Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You can't use Address Book with more than one phone at the same time unfortunately, it simply does not have this functionality.
I developed a little application called "Reset Address Book Pairing" which does exactly that without deleting (and therefore losing) your Address Book preferences. Just one setting in the prefs actually needs changing.
It's included with the Sony Ericsson Address Book Enabler, which adds Call & SMS support for over 40 new Sony Ericsson phones to the Mac Address Book.

Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone? no MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone.

Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone? No MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone. I have checked all the settings and all seems correct. It simply won't pull in all of the contacts. Last time, it added some new ones, but deleted others.

I found the route of the problem! All the songs under 'On This Phone' are completely grayed out! The only question is now how do I ungray them???

Unfortunately not. No groups and any Mobile Me account here not even many contacts (436) and any duplicates except in Ical after having restored my iphone 4 times. Something strange too, 2 weeks ago, Isync was running while I'm not registered on MM nor Icloud (turned off on my iphone) . Maybe a conflict between Outlook, Addressbook, Itunes and Isync on SL....I'm going crasy with this issue It reminds me of Windows ! Thx anyway, I'm gooing to contact apple in the following days.

Old Address Book syncing with iPad via iTunes!

Forgive me if I'm going over old ground but there seem to be a number of threads to do with Address Book syncing, but I haven't managed to find a definitive answer, so here goes ...
I have an iPad [3] under iOS.5.1and an OSX.6.8 quad-core i7 iMac and I sync them via iTunes.
Everything, absolutley everything, syncs just fine, Calendars, Photos, etc. etc. - except, that is, for Address Book and Contacts.
The iMac Address Book is fully up to date, yet the version on the iPad is not only an old version, but a version which hasn't been current since before the iPad was bought and first sync'd!
Bizarre!
In an attempt to correct this, I unchecked the iTunes "Info > Sync Contacts button and resync'd.
The ipad Contacts book was empty - which is what I expected.
i then checked the button again and resync'd - and the old Address Book data was resync'd!
What is clear is that the iPad's version reflects that which is in the iTunes "Selected Groups" window and not what is actually in the Address Book, so I presume that the error lies with iTunes and/or my iMac and not the ipad iteself. The iPad is, after all, only reflecting what iTunes tells it.
So, my friends, why does iTunes not show the current Address Book indiviudal cards and Groups?
From where should it be getting it's information and how can I ensure that it does get the latest version?
If there is a rogue old copy somewhere, what could it be called and how can I find it and delete it and then, perhaps amend the default path to the correct version?
All software and apps on both devices are fully up to date at the time of posting this heartfelt crie de coure!
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Well, eventually I had to go to the Level 2 (or whetver they are called) AppleCare geeks to get this resolved, as the "normal" guys couldn't resolve it.
After much "try this ...", "try that ..." and "try the other ..." they narrowed the problem down to a corrupt Address Book Group header in my iMac's Address Book.
It appears impossible to find out just which of my 55 Group headers was corrupt and the only way around it was to export all Contacts individually as vCards, dlete every Group and individual card entry in the Addreess Book and reimport all the vCards - and then somewhat tediously recreate all my Groups again from scratch.
It took around two and a half hours on the phone to AppleCare and forever to recreate the Groups, but at least it solved the problem!
Whether this helps anyone else i cannot tell, but if you have a bizarre syncing pronblem it might be worth looking at this as a solution.
But take my tip: before embarking on this, make an entry in the Notes section of each card so that you know to which Group or Groups a card belongs because it was a feat of memory way beyond me to remeber all of them and I still have the odd orphan in there awaiting a home!

I cannot import my address book from outlook express to my I pad, have tried the I tunes route but it still has not appeared. My address book from my mobile has appeared though.

New I pad

You have the Windows Contacts address book selected under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes?
If so, any error message provided when syncing?
The only way your address book from your mobile appeared is if you are syncing contacts over the air with an email account on your mobile that supports this and accessing the email account on your iPad.

Address Book-Bluetooth-Dial Cell Phone or Send SNS

I have repeatedly paired my Cell Phone to my Powerbook according to the available procedures. When I select a phone number in Address Book both "Dial on Cell Phone" and "Send SMS" are grey. The bluetooth symbol at the top of the Address Book page never turns blue as described after successful pairing of my cell phone to my computer. I would like to use my Address Book with my cell phone (Motorola V557). Please tell me how!

Yes and no. At least in my opinion.
Before iPhone Apple worked with mobile hardware makers to integrate features like you describe into Address Book to make it easier to manage calls and Address Book contacts.
Now, on the iPhone those same contacts are all on the iPhone. I can see how someone at Apple might come to the conclusion that the "dial with phone" feature would not be implemented. I did use the feature all the time with my Sony Ericsson W810i, but I don't miss it at all with my iPhone.

Address Book sync - Google

Is anyone else not able to get their google contact to sync?
I have GmAil set up as my mail and iCal no issue. I go to contact > Pref >select local mac > and enable google sync. I then hit the sync on the menu board and nothing. The address book reamins empty.
I have iCloud contacts off and iCal as I saw somewhere that was and issue. Any suggestions?

Hi Randy,
Is your system completely up to date? Google address book syncing was introduced with the 10.5.3 update of OS X. If you go to the Apple menu and select "About This Mac," you can see what your computer is at. To make everything current, run "Software Update" in the Apple menu.

Address Book Sync Problems - 8530 and Outlook 2007

This has been a nagging problem for me for quite some time. Here's my current status:
Curve 8530 on Verizon Wireless
Access to Corporate resources and email via BES
I also access Gmail from the device
Right now I am not synching over the air - that has never worked. I'm using Desktop Manager, and recently downgraded to Version 5.01. When I connect the device and configure for Address Book sync the application starts the process, then craps out without synching. I've rebooted the PC, reloaded the application without success.
And right now the device's address book is blank. Any ideas?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Given that you are on BES, why in the world are you putting up with it's non-functionality? With BES, you should be receiving Over the Air (OTA) sync of email, contacts, calendar, tasks, etc...no need whatsoever to synchronize to Outlook via USB tether. If that is not working, then you should do one of two things:
1) Talk to your BES admins and have them get it working properly for you...you are missing a lot!!!
-- OR --
2) Talk to your carrier about changing your data plan and dropping BES -- you are paying extra for a service that you cannot even use!!
Once you decide which path you wish to pursue, let us know.
Good luck!

Address Book Sync is gunking up my MacBook Pro!

Everytime I first start up my MacBook from either sleep or first turning it on, it's ridiculously slow - everything I type takes about 30 seconds to show up on the screen while the little rainbow pinwheel does its thing. I took a look at the Activity Monitor, and it looks like the Address Book Sync that happens every time the system first starts up is crashing everything else - as soon as I Force Quit the application, it's smooth sailing. I'm wondering if there's a way to make it so the Address Book syncs only when I ask it to, so I don't have to wait 10 minutes to use my computer after first turning it on? Has anyone else had this problem?

Put one unique entry in both iCal & Address Book on your Mac. These entries can be fake, that doesn't matter, just make sure Address Book & iCal are not empty. Then when you select to sync contacts & calendars on the Info pane in iTunes, you'll get a merge or replace prompt. Select merge.

Address Book sync with .Mac

I've done my Address Book sync with my .Mac in System Preferences. But the new addresses/changes don't show up when I go to email or look up the names from a web client.
Am I missing somethings?

Got it.
