Address Book synching only half-works

My iPod Classic seems unable to keep straight which addresses and phone numbers are "home" and which ones are "work", and, though my older iPod Photo could do it, does not seem able to transfer information from the "Notes" field. Is there any solution for this yet, or do we just have to wait for another firmware update?
On a more cosmetic note, Address Book photos that did not originate from pictures that were already scaled down to 64x64 (or whatever) appear scrambled when they display on the iPod.

Same problem here from day one through FW 1.0.2.
Let's hope they fix it in the next release.
Cheers,
S.

    the photos that I add to address book will only be there for a few seconds after I close the edit button. Either they go away completely or they are very small portion of the actual photo

    Frank, thanks for your note.  I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it.  Too much to ask?
    And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first.  [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.]  That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
    Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so.  As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely.  You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
    Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
    So, ... is this result something you have heard of before?  Do you know of a one-step solution?  Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix?

  • Strange Entourage/Address Book synching problem

    Hi,
    Has anyone else seen this? I'm using the Sync Services preference within Entourage to synchronize the Entourage and Address Book contact lists. I've done this with several computers before, with no problems. But on this particular computer (running 10.4.11 and Office 2004) whenever a synch takes place, within the Address Book titles appear before the first name in all the contacts. The fields in Entourage are all correctly entered in. This would be just a small annoyance, except that of course subsequent iPhone/Address Book synchs result in everyone's title showing up on the iPhone as well.
    I've made sure that the Title field is on the Address Book layout (and it is, beside Company, below First Name and Last Name), tried ditching the Address Book folder within Application Support, running the PocketMac SyncClean utility to clean out the Sync Services cache, deleting the Address Book completely and re-synching (multiple times), yet nothing works.
    Any ideas?

    Since Entourage is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum.
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

  • 2g shuffle only half working

    I've recently changed from a pc to mac, Silver mac book osx, my ipod now only half works. It auto fills but won't auto sync. Half the file controls are greyed out in the menu. This includes the find duplicates command. My itunes as already duplicated over half my library when I entered my music back off my external hard drive so I need this. Tonight I tried to load itunes with some new content and found I can't load a play list ei recently added and then auto fill the rest. Why not I could do this on a pc? I the tried to fill it manually and it duplicated the albums I added manually ,1 had each song 4 times. my playlists won't sync with the pod either. I thoughgt mac's where better this is as bad if not worse then my pc this is also coming on the same day i've been told my printers unsuported with drivers by either apple or lexmark and is basically a paper weight. Is my shuffle basically stuffed as well? I've done the 3 r's every time I've charged/refilled the thing.

    iTunes in Windows and the Mac operate exactly the same way.
    If you are having problems is will be due to how you have set up iTunes.
    Your post is not very clear to be honest and I am struggling to understand exactly what you are trying to say.
    You have trown to many issues and questions into the same post and it is hard to see what you are trying to get an answer for. Do you have an issue with your iPod or iTunes?

  • HT4436 Why don't all my contacts and calendar events on my iMac (version 10.7.4) stream onto iCloud? For instance, there are 470 entries in my address book but only 270 on iCloud. And not all my appointments in iCal are transferred.

    I have the same problem transfering Address book on iMac to contacts on iPhone (old version 3G - on iCloud). this is a hard wired connection

    Might you have 200 entries in On My Mac groups and some of your appointments in On My Mac calendars?

  • New Address Book Template Won't Work on My Address Card

    My personal address card on my mac address book keeps listing my work phone numbers and email addresses first in each list and thus uses those numbers whenever I user Safari's autofill.
    I changed the address card template so that home phone number and email addresses are the first item on the card, but this change does not work on my card in the address book. I even created an entirely new card for myself (with the proper field order) and then marked the card as mine and it automatically moved my work contacts to the top of the list. This is real annoying.
    Anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance

    You need to istall USB 2.0 3 PCI Card
    maybe like that belkin card is one of the best one's but you can choose other brand

  • Adobi sc6 will it work on windows 7 32 bit computer my copy seems to be only half working

    can anyone help with this question. its only half working and i cant get things done

    Not sure why you haven't had a reply all this time, but yes, CS6 will work on a 32 bit system, but you are going to be very short of RAM.  What do you think is missing?   The 3D menu will not work unless you have the Extended version of Photoshop, and I believe you need at least 1Gb of video RAM.

  • HT4597 After the move to icloud, I no longer have an address book synched. Cannot find a way to add i cloud on preferences/accounts either. I'm not at all happy with this transition.

    You don't require Mountain Lion - you need Lion which has been available for almost a year.
    Unless you are running Mac OS X 10.7.2 or later (Lion) you won't be able to sync iCloud with your computer. The iClous system preferences pane does not exist in ealier versions.
    The Mac system requirements are all clearly stated on the iCloud pages, and in the support articles.

  • How to restore Address Book and then add working iCloud Account?

    OK i'm going insane trying to resolve this one.... all started with a shed load of Duplicates!
    3 devices:  MacBook Pro, iMac, iPhone 4S
    I finally upgraded the MBP to 10.7.2, the iMac already was and the iPhone was already 5.0.1
    I've held off moving to iCloud from Mobile.me because of the 10.6.x MBP
    ...so now all on the same song sheet, I clicked the upgrade to iCloud from my MBA and all went well!
    The MBA pushed 1352 address cards to the iCloud and I only had the iCloud account showing in my Address Book.
    My iPhone then happily went iCloud and downloaded ALL the calendars (and I have far too many....I'll clean up soon, promise ;-)
    but i hadnt turned on Contact sync for a very good reason.
    I DON'T WANT ALL MY CONTACTS ON MY iPHONE!
    So having found some advice, it says you have to keep everything you dont want in iCloud, in the On My Mac account
    (which I didnt appear to have at that point)
    I turned my iMac on and connected to the iCloud, all went well and I again had a single iCloud account in Address Book with 1352 cards
    I then went Address Book/Preferences/General/Deafult Account/On My Mac and it generated the empty On My Mac account in the Address Book.
    Highlighting ALL my iCloud address cards and dragging them to On My Mac, a successful duplication was made.
    Highlighting ALL my iCloud address cards and deleting, all three devices now had NO contacts in the iCloud related accounts (what I wanted)
    I then turned on Contact sync on my iPhone and it pushed 186 contacts to the iCloud and in turn to all 3 devices (perfect!)
    but then came the fun part....
    On my iMac, the On My Mac account had gone from 1352 to over 1900 with loads of duplicates. So I selected ALL deleted and restored from an Address Book backup prior to going iCloud. This began my problem....
    if I restore it WIPES the iCloud account from the machine and leaves me with 1352 in On My Mac, 
    if I try and add an iCloud account it then wants to upload the 1352 into the iCloud which I dont want.
    If I delete all, setup iCloud acount first I get the 186 correctly, but the moment I restore from backup it overwrites and I'm again left with On My Mac and no iCloud account
    AHHHHHH!
    how on earth do I get the working iCloud with 186 (which is perfectly fine on 3 devices) and restore 1352 in ON MY MAC, so my iMac Address Book has two accounts very seperate from each other.   I want the 186 on my MacBook Pro and iPhone, but I want an iCloud account with 186 and an On My Mac with 1352 on the iMac
    ANY advice welcome
    TIA

    Thanks havinabubble for your assistance.  I'm having all sorts of problems with iCloud because we've got iphone 3g's which means the iCloud is working on our mac and ipads but not on our iphones.  I've been trying to solve this problem for days and I lost my "on my mac account" along the way. Once I followed your section where you gave directions how to "generate the empty On My Mac account" I was able to re-establish my contacts list on my mac.  Your suggestion was very valuable. Thank you.

    cheers to Winston Churchill who's post gave me the solution!
    with On My Mac selected, highlight and DRAG TO DESKTOP
    then highlight ALL and DELETE ALL
    add the iCloud account which replaces ALL contacts with the 186 from the iCloud.
    select Address Book/Preferences/General/Default Account/On My Mac and it generates the empty On My Mac account in the Address Book.
    DRAG the 1352 back into On My Mac account
    now have two accounts...
    PROBLEM SOLVED, thanks Winston!

  • Address book in Lion not working

    I use Address Book on both my computers and on my iPad. With iCloud, everything's synced. Until about a month ago. On my iMac, Address Book is not working :
    It is empty.
    I cannot import any archived file.
    I cannot connect to iCloud. It won't add the account
    I cannot create a new entry. File > New card does nothing
    Here is what I tried :
    Reboot
    Check and repair permissions
    Reinstalled Lion
    No change.
    But wheh I start whith another account, it works...
    Any clues?

    Among many other issues with Lion, I am having this one as well.  As with a few applications, it is only occuring with users authenticating to open directory.  Local users are not having the issue.  Address Book will not save imported information.  We imported several vCard files to it and after quiting and reopening, the information is not there.

  • Once Mac address book synched from iphone and contacts deleted they won't resynch back

    I have a problem and have spent hours researching but to no avail
    1. I got a new iphone 4S and put in my mail info from yahoo, gmail and low and behold I had a contact list now in my phone. I thought, "I just love Apple!"
    2. I spent all afternoon on my iphone updating my contact list with contact photos, birthdays and all the stuff I never put in on my email program or my MacPro Leopard mac addressbook.
    3. With trepidation, I synched via usb with itunes my contacts and suddenly I had 3 (or more versions of my contacts on every site or device).  To see what was going on (as I wasn't sure if my mac would erase iphone contacts or add to them etc) I tried putting a test contact "iphone test" on my phone, yahoo test on my yahoo account, and mac test contact on my laptop address book, and gmail test in my gmail's contacts, and synched again.... For the most part every test contact showed up everywhere (not yahoo test in gmail's account mind you)
    4. GREAT I thought. I will just DELETE the contacts in the mac address book, yahoo, gmail accounts, fix my iphone duplicate contacts so I have one perfect set on the iphone and resynch and I should have my iphone contacts filling in all the right places (yahoo, gmail, and mac address book from the iphone) and they will all now be identical... SO WRONG!
    5. None of the prior contacts would sync. Only new contacts will synch (ones that were never before synched, ie, a new iphone test contact WILL show up in my Mac address book but the other 100 won't (apparently the computer knows they were already synced or something.)
    I am now left with all my contacts on my phone and none in my computer! I have synched in itunes about 10 times with "contacts" checked trying different settings for yahoo, gmail but no source will retake my iphone contacts now that it was synced and the mac address book deleted...
    Can anyone help???

    Thanks for your timely response. I really appreciate the heads up on the My Contacts Backup App since when you have gone from 4 copies of contacts to one you are starting to feel insecure...
    Unfortunately, after following this to a "T" (2x) no luck... The mac address book was empty to begin with so I added three new contacts, synched  and then started from there...
    I unchecked the sync box and synched. Deleted 2 of the 3 contacts and checked the "sync contacts"--all contacts (I have no groups). It synched without prompting me for a merge and the new single contact did not show up in the iphone... bummer. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.
    SORRY, I ACCIDENTALLY GAVE MYSELF HELPFUL POINTS AND THEY WERE FOR RANDERS4....

  • Error Code 0x82bc1095 trying to map folders in Address Book synching with MS Outlook 2003 SP3t

    Help please. My BB Curve 8900 OS v5 has suddenly stopped synchronising with my MS Outlook 2003 SP3. It gets as far as address book then stops, giving error message " One or more configured folders is not availablr. Update mapping field and try again". Configuring my organiser, when I click on a tab I get another message saying "No available Message stores". I click on OK and get the tabbed page opern but the mapping folders field is empty and greyed out.
    If I click on Map Fields, I get another error message "Error encountered. Error code 0x82bc1095"
    No synchronisation takes place at all.
    I am far from technically minded, say about one step above being a Luddite. Can anyone please advise me?

    Thanks for your suggestion, but things have moved since then. I tried swapping my mapisvc by changing the extension to 'old' and running the repair, but this did not recreate a mapisvc.inf file, so I changed the extension back to inf. I also uninstalled Outlook Connector as other threads have suggested.
    However another thread suggested resetting the organiser using the reset settings button.  I did this, but the DTM will not now let me set up synchronisation with my Outlook. Outlook is shown as an option, along with Yahoo and ASCII.
    It just lets me go through the process but does not produce a tick in the appropriate box at the end.
    I did tell it to synch with Yahoo to see if it would take and it does, but when I try to change it to Outlook it does not register the change (leaving it as Yahoo). I have to select 'none' to clear the tick.
    You can probably tell that I'm useless at this sort of thing and I'm getting very frustrated with the whole thing. I've had numerous problems ever since I upgraded the device software. I think that if I ever get this working again, I will not do anything else.
    Hope you can help an old duffer and thanks again for your input.

  • Address Book SEARCH does not work anymore

    Since the last week or so, my "Address Book" does not search at all anymore for any contacts on iCloud (which is where I have all my contacts). I saw others had a similar problem, and that one person was able to fix it -> https://discussions.apple.com/message/17417340?searchText=Address%20Book%20SEARC H%20does%20not%20work%20anymore#17417340 -> but this fix does not work for me. Interestingly it searches if I have contacts "On my Mac", which I usually don't.
    I tried exporting my address book and re-inporting it (replacing all contacts), but it did not change anything.
    Was anyone able to fix this besides the person in the above linked discussion?

    YEEHAH !!!
    I HAD THE SAME "SEARCH" ISSUE, HOWEVER I AM NOT USING iCLOUD... so my situation was yet slightly different I guess, I tried a bunch of things (exporting, reimporting etc.. Nothing worked..).
    FINALLY WHAT WORKED WAS: I deleted everything in the Application Support/AddressBook EXCEPT the Metadata folder. When I relaunched AddressBook.. everything worked fine again, searches etc.. and all icons even reappeared I guess they are also kept with the metadata info not jsut the images folder since I had deleted it) .. and all my contacts from Facebook that I had synched using Cobook and some other utility before that are also there...
    I've also played around with CoBook again.. to make sure things were stable, and so far they are.
    HOWEVER.. iCloud scares me... so I'll refrain from playing with that for now

  • Address book import, doesn't work at all

    i am trying to import a tab-seperated value text file from outlook into address book, it recoginzes the fields, however, when i click ok, nothing happends.
    nothing at all...
    suggestions?

    I, too, am having major issues with importing.
    I have tried three different things:
    1) a .vcf file (downloaded from my mail account on fastmail - fastmail.fm)
    2) a CSV file (also downloaded from FastMail)
    3) a Vcards file (exported after an import - more details further down in this message.
    So, I select import, and the file doesn't really import, the button for import does NOTHING. But, there is a 'review duplicates', I use that, click on merge, click the apply to all check box, and then import works. It only takes a few seconds. I go from 206 addresses to 316. Yay! But, there's more. I close Address book, and I am back down to 206 cards - all my imports are GONE. I have done this at least a dozen times (in hope..). Once, I imported them all, then exported them to vcards hoping I could overwrite the 206 cards with the 316 that I exported. That hasn't worked either.
    Address book seems unstable after importing, too. It sometimes won't close, I need to force quit it..
    I checked out the console app looking for errors or clues, and nothing. I don't know if this import worked in tiger, tho..
