Address book won't syncronize (automatically) with Google

I recently noticed there was a synchronize with Google contacts on address book, so I set it up, logged in okay, and closed the preferences window.
then nothing happened. It doesn't sync unless I have the sync logo in the menubar and click 'Sync now'.
Google also offers exchange for contacts and calendars, would this work on address book or is that unnecessary?
Either way: why isn't it working? cheers!

Thanks for a quick response. I don't see a way to print the address and phone number on a mailing label either. Some people still like their paper address books and I thought printing labels would make it a lot easier to read and I could just print labels for Christmas cards - instead of handwriting them. nice thought, I guess.
(note to apple: please fix in your next update)

  • Address Book doesn't have "sync with Google contacts" any more...!!!!!

    Hi Guys
    Hoping someone can help...
    I've updated to 10.0.8, and I just have a look at the options under Address Book. There are still options to sync contacts with MobileMe, and Yahoo (and one other, which I can't remember as I'm not at my Mac), but the last one, "sync with Google contacts", has disappeared!
    Has anyone else noticed if that has gone? Have Apple decided not to partner with Google any more?
    Or does my Address Book just have some kind of bug?
    Cheers,
    Mike

    Sorry... correction... 10.5.8, obviously!!

  • Address Book won't stop synching with .mac

    Address Book keeps Syncing with .mac even though I don't want it to and I did not extend the free .Mac trial.
    I turned off "Synchronize my contacts with other computers using .Mac" in the Address Book preferences.
    I can not however turn off "Synchronize with .Mac" in the .Mac preferences (it is dimmed) and even though it says "Manual" the Address books continues to sync and leaves me with an empty address book every day!!!!!

  • Why is my address book no longer being automatically updated with new entries?

    why is my MacBook Pro address book no longer being automatically updated with new entries?
    thanks!

    thanks for the question!
    i have an iphone that uses addresses/contacts.  i don't use icloud because i was getting doubled calendar entries.

  • My Address Book won't sync with iphone anymore...HELP!

    My Address Book won't sync with iphone anymore. After installing the latest update for iphone, my address book no longer syncs with iphone and vica versa. Anyone had this problem? Can you help?

    Yes, I've done that plus have tried syncing selected contacts and also ALL. Still won't work...

  • Address Book won't sync with .Mac address book

    When I attempt to sync the address book contatcs on my Powerbook with .Mac, after much spinning and churning, it get the error message:
    "An inconsistency was detected on .Mac for your Contacts data. You may want to reset .Mac from a computer with good data."
    This is the ONLY computer with this contact data. There is no other computer with "good data" to reset .Mac from. I have 776 contacts on this computer and it is my work base. .Mac only has 103 contacts. Sereiously, this is not a joke. You must be prepared to fix your gross errors with this software.
    .Mac sync is probably the worse software implementation on the Apple platform. It has wiped on critical and important data on many occasions my cell phone and my wives Motorola phones. Getting errror messages such as these are alarming and terribly distressing. Where have Apple's standards for quality gone?

    You must be on OS X 10.7 in order to use iCloud.
    OS X 10.7 (Lion) is available in the App Store as a digital download. It is $29. Best practice - be sure to make a backup copy of your computer before upgrading any software.
    After you download and install 10.7 Lion, you will have an iCloud icon in System Preferences.

  • Apple Address Book Won't Open

    On my iMac G5, my Apple Address Book won't open. It has been working perfectly and I've never had a problem since buying the computer about a year ago. Though the name appears on the top menu bar and the triangle shows beneath the Address Book icon on the Dock, nothing appears on the screen. I ran the Disk Utility Repair Permissions, but aht didn't correct it. I've rebooted and that didn't solve the issue either. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Verify/repair your disk first (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    I don't know how to troubleshoot Address Book, other than replacing its data with a backup copy if you have one, or just getting rid of that data. Address Book stores the preferences in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist, and everything else in the ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder.
    You may try moving those files out of there, to the Desktop. You may try removing just the com.apple.AddressBook.plist preferences file (so that Address Book re-creates it again), for example, or removing just AddressBook.data and renaming AddressBook.data.previous to AddressBook.data. Whatever you do, make a backup copy of those files first, just in case.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder.

  • Address book won't save changes to note field

    Like the header says. Address book won't save changes to note field. There's another thread with the same header:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2591053?threadID=2591053  But it's archived so I had to post this new one.
    If I made a change in any non-note field however, it would stay.
    Note: the notes field can be edited with actually having to go into official "edit" mode. Does this make it more prone to corruption? Why would Apple make the notes field NOT need that extra step of protection. Do they think my notes aren't as important?  How would they know?
    I fixed this one card with a bandaid solution by exporting it and reimporting it.  But I guess I need to do that with all 2,000 of my contacts now. It was mentioned on theother thread that somebody made an address book backup and then deleted every contact in the address book and imported them fresh from the backup and that worked.
    The underlyilng issue is still not solved though. How could this happpen in the first place, and how do I know what other contacts haven't held lthe changes I thought I made?

    Hi,
    Using the Note field
    You can add notes to any contact in Address Book. This makes it easy to keep track of details about a person in your address book.
    Select the person in the Name column in Address Book, then click the Note field in the card.
    The Note field can be edited at any time, even if the card is not in edit mode.
    You could make a dedicated field that requires the edit button...
    Using custom labels
    You can change the label that appears next to a piece of information on a contact's card. For example, you might want to change "work" to "support" next to a phone number.
    Select the contact that you want to change.
    Click the Edit button at the bottom of the window.
    Click the label next to a field, then choose Custom from the pop-up menu.
    Enter a new label for the field.
    The new custom label appears on this contact's card only.
    If you want to change a specific label on all cards in your Address Book, edit the card template. Choose Address Book > Preferences and click Template. The Template pane also allows you to add other types of fields on contact cards, such as a nickname, job title, birthday, anniversary, and URL. Use the Add Field menu.

  • Address Book Won't Launch in Leopard

    Suddenly, Address Book won't launch in Leopard. It worked after initial installation but now won't open. I have tried re-syncing with .Mac, re-starting. Address Book info (e-mail addresses) is still accurate and available in Mail.
    I also installed Leopard on my Mac Book. No problems, Address book works fine.
    How can I fix?

    Here's what I got.

  • My address book keeps getting clogged up with thousands of email duplicates.

    My address book(s) keep getting filled with hundreds or thousands of duplicate addresses. This causes Thunderbird to slow down considerably when I enter an email address in the "to" field because it has to search the thousands of addresses. I have to manually go in and delete them which takes hours because I can only delete a screens worth at a time without getting a script error. I have three gmail accounts I am using with Thunderbird.

    It now appears the duplicate email addresses have showed up again. This is extremely irritating. I would like to get rid of Thunderbird if this can't be solved!

  • My address book won't open after installing Lion. Has this happened to anyone else?

    I recently upgraded to Lion and couldn't be more pleased, except that my address book won't open now. It just bounces and then gives up and sends an error report to Apple. Please help.

    I have the same problem. Has anyone solved this problem?

  • HT2486 My address book won't work

    I just installed Snow Leopard and now my address book won't open. It says I have address book 4.1.2, but I can't find an update or anything for it. Help please! I need my addresses!

    The latest version of address book for 10.6.8 is 5.0.3
    You could apply, if you haven't already (or) reapply the combo update  Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    That should solve your problem.  You should also check out software update for things like the new security update 2012 004.

  • 10.4.7 update and now my Address Book won't open

    I recently ran a software update and the Mac OS X Update 10.4.7 errored out. After the required restart I now find my Address Book won't open.
    Any advise to fix this problem?
    Is it safe to run the 10.4.7 update again or will this problem repeat?

    hi there--
    i would check out this thread. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1863756&#1863756 basically, try repairing permissions first. then if that does nothing, see if you have your addressbook.data file. it's possible you could rename a file like this user to regain your info. if the addressbook.data file is there, select it and get info on it by pressing the apple and i on the keyboard. ensure that you have read/write access to the folder. make yourself the owner and make the rest of the fields as open as possible. also, if the address book launches in a different user (you could create a test user) you could do a number of things. if you have a backup of the address book in another place you can try pulling the com.apple.addressbook.plist from the preferences folder in the home user library. do not do this if you have no backup. also you could check ~library/address book plug-ins. if there's stuff in there, try pulling folder to desktop and restarting the computer. keep me posted as to whether or not you make any progress.

  • Address Book won't import photos from iPhoto

    Address Book won't import photos from iPhoto. It's greyed out. Any solution?

    iPhoto 9.5 immediately tries to "upgrade" my library using the upgrader.
    iPhoto 9.5 asks you to run the upgrader to prepare the library for 9.5. It then will update the library to its format.
    You need to do the following:
    1 - go to your Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application. 
    2 - select Choose Library, navigate to your iPhoto library, select it and let the upgrader do its thing.
    3 - launch iPhoto 9.5 to open and finish the conversion of the library.
