Again: Address Book and 2 Bluetooth Phones

Hello there,
I'm using Address Book to send SMS via my bluetooth Nokia 7610 telephone.
Recently I purchased a Nokia e50 for work. With the Nokia plugin I can use iSync fine, but there is not Address Book plugin for SMS, etc.
Now, after configuring both devices I can not use Address Book to send SMS via my Nokia 7610... Address Book just connects and then disconnects. Of course, the e50 won't work either, but it's not supported.
Any ideas?
Greetings, JP

Eric, here is how I do it:
go to System preferences, Bluetooth, Devices and click on the phone you want to use and click on Configure. There you go use with address book. Then re-launch Address book and you should be able to connect to this phone. To connect to the other phone, repeat these steps and click on the other one and reconfigure it.
I am not sure that this is the shortest or most efficient way to achieve connection to multiple phones, but so far I did not find other.

  • Address Book and Verizon Cell Phones

    I have a Verizon VX8000 candy bar phone. It has Bluetooth. But I can't get my contacts out of it to my Address Book. Is there a way to do so?
    Or how about a way to get all my email contacts out of Mac Mail into Address Book.
    Any help would be great!

    I cannot say I AGREE! any louder.
    This pocketmac people claim in the website to offer "solutions" but they have given me lots of headaches and I too would just go and buy an iphone. The only problem is that AT&T does not work in my house.
    No matter how many tricks I have tried I cannot make my 8330 accept the changes i make in my address book. It is absolutely a killer.
    Some previous user said that bluettoth could help but at any rate that was to over ride the address book with the 8330 data and in my case i was trying to do the opposite. 
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

  • Address book and bluetooth 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 N80, 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 other than BluePhoneElite. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me with this.
    Best Regards,
    Aditya

    I have the same problem with my Nokia N70 whereas in the past I've had this address book connection with SE T610 and SE K700i, though with the 610 I had to troop round the re-pairing route a couple of times and with the 700i, I had to wait for Tiger.
    If you clear the settings and pair again in the Bluetooth wizard, at the point where the paired services screen shows, the Address Book option is clearly missing. It may be that 10.4.6 has rewritten the configurations for these phones, or it may be that we have corrupted or outdated preference files and perhaps somebody could advise on which files we might check.
    It's certainly frustrating to be missing this facility when my phone can both sync and work as a high speed modem through Bluetooth. The Address Book facility may be the lowest priority, but it remains a useful extra feature which I miss.

    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 vCards via Bluetooth to Samsung a900 "Blade" cell phone

    I'm able to export Address Book contacts as vCards and then import them into one of the new Samsung a900 "Blade" Sprint phones using Bluetooth, but with a couple of vexing problems.
    1. I should clarify that I can import vCards into the new "Blade" cell phone from Address Book via Bluetooth, but only by dragging one card at a time, a very tedious process. Unfortunately, no data transfer occurs if I select multiple cards and drag them all at the same time. I'm using OS X (v10.4.2). Perhaps v10.4.4 and/or a more current AddressBook update will make a difference, or perhaps the problems are solely at the Samsung end...
    After activating the paired phone and then launching Apple's Bluetooth File Transfer Utility, I'm dragging the vCards onto the OS X dock icon...
    But before I do this, the "No Name" problem is forcing me to manually enter the Company Name into Address Book's last name field for every card that has no personal first/last name. Again, this is necessary just to get the Samsung a900's internal phone book to display something useful for these records (besides listing each record as "No name").
    2. When the phone software sees an entry with a Company Name only (but no First/Last Name entered), it goes brain dead and lists each entry as "No Name" instead of ignoring the empty Name fields and simply listing the Company Name. This is an age-old problem with dumb cell phone software (my previous Sanyo phone did this too). Unfortunately, Address Book exporting is useless without fixing this...Is there a way to get Address Book to format exported vCards to compensate for this shortcoming in the Phone interface?
    More info on this phone and Macs is posted on an a900-Mac thread in the Samsung discussion at www.sprintusers.com. The "Blade" is Samsung's new model that copies the look-and-feel of the popular Motorola RAZR, and it is a very nice, if not entirely original, design, and a very hot phone at Sprint right now. It does have a few bugs, but some already have been addressed with a firmware update from Samsung. It's only been out since late November or early December of 2005.
    I also cross-posted these questions in the Address Book and Mail forum...

    All metioned problems are Samsung's fault. Blame them.
    I've been assuming it was a Samsung problem, and have posted help requests in cell phone forums that Samsung engineers and/or support allegedly reads. I was hoping there might be some way to automate a workaround from the computer end...
    Now, if Address Book had an option to define the fields that are to be exported or perhaps automatically sub Company Names for last names the problem would be solved when exporting for cell phones. I can't belive no one has ever encountered this before -- it has been a problem with every cell phone I have ever owned.

  • Address Book and stolen phone

    I think I've figured out the answer to this already I'll ask anyways. My wife's iPhone 3g was ripped off on Sunday. We reported the phone stolen to AT&T that night. My question involves the address book, my wife kept passwords and SS # in the address book. I've already changed her dot mac password but I'm wondering if there is a way to completely reset dot mac so that if the phone attempts to sync over wireless all of her info will just disappear? We known the crook took a credit card number out of her address book and tired to use it. Of course this won't work if they do not hook up to wi-fi or have turned off push sync.
    thanks,
    jeff

    How unfortunate.
    Not sure of a global reset on MobileMe, but you can certainly manually delete that information and it would have been erased by the push sync. I state 'would have been' because if you changed the password, I would think the iPhone will no longer connect to MobileMe (it will ask for the new password), so the blanked entries will not be pushed to the phone.
    For the future, you might want to consider either a) not storing such sensitive, personal information on a portable device like a mobile phone, b) if you do, enable a passcode lock on the iPhone or c) store the information in one of the apps designed for that, where the data are password protected and encrypted.

  • 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.

  • I fixed my iSync Problem it now syncs Address book and iCal on 10.4.9

    Ever since updating to the latest version of OS X 10.4.9 iSync didn't work anymore with my Sony Z520i.
    Neither Address Book or iCal wouldn't sync at all and I tried everything even a fresh erase and Install.
    Someone here on this forum told me to delete the folder SyncServices found in ~/library/Aplicatrion Support/SyncServices. I did that but it still didn't work so I replaced the same folder from the trash. I then launched iSync again, it did sync my address book only. I couldn't select the option for iCal in iSync anymore until I resynced my iCal in my Mac prefrences, after that I could select it in iSync but it would still fail.
    So I deleted two files that belong to iCal located in ~/library/Aplication Support/iCal the two files are sync.plist and syncState.plist
    When I tried it it worked perfectly iSync synced both address book and iCal and I have been testing it without any problems updating my address book and iCal for the last few days.
    It's 100% fixed :)

    You only get the one hour difference if the Time Zone or Daylight saving setting is set incorrectly on your phone, or if you are viewing events before the last time the clocks changed (March), or after the next time the clocks change (October).

  • Fields from palm won't go into Address book and vice versa

    Hi there,
    I'm still adapting to 10.5.5 (I was using 10.2.8 for a long time) and there are little things that throw me off.
    The latest bug I've found is that any contacts I've added to my Address Book since I made the switch aren't properly being synchronized to my Palm Pilot.
    For instance -- I've added a contact with name, company name, work phone, mobile phone, work email and work address to Address Book.
    My palm pilot isn't getting the work address.
    Any advice?

    If you have selected the Address Book and iCal under the Info tab for your iPhone 3G sync preferences to sync contact info and calendars with and this is not working, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
    Quit iTunes, the Address Book, and iCal first. Launch iSync and to to iSync preferences. After selecting reset sync history, restart your Mac and try syncing this data again.
    When creating a new calendar event, there is a selection for which calendar you want to place the new event in if you have multiple calendars.
    If you have multiple calendars, you can select the calendar you want to create the new event in. After launching Calendar, there is a Calendars selection at the top to view all calendars. You can select a calendar to view all entries for that calendar only and for entering a new event for that calendar. Or select All Calendars to view the events for all calendars. When creating a new event with All Calendars selected, you can choose which calendar with the new event entry.

  • Sync to Entourage and Not Mac Address book and ical HELP

    I just got a brand new MacBook Pro (no more PC)!!!! My I Sync my phone and it put all the data in ical and address book. I use Entourage and thats where i would like all my info to go. how do i set up itunes to go to entourage and not the apple sofware.
    And Can i sync via bluetooth?
    thanks you

    The isync database, as I called it, is really just the master database from which ical, address book, bookmarks, etc., are stored, and it's used for syncing with the .mac service. Entourage can sync with it too, just go to the Entourage menu, choose Preferences, and look under General Preferences for Sync Services. Then check the boxes you want -- I just wanted the contacts to be the same in Entourage and Address Book so I only checked that one. The calendar is kind of funky because iCal uses separate calendars to group events, and I think if you check that box, iCal will then get a new calendar called Entourage, or something like that, in which all the Entourage events will go to and from. That is, I think Entourage will sync only with that iCal calendar, but I could be wrong about that since I don't use it.
    Once you check the contacts box, Entourage will populate with all the contacts in your Address Book, and I think if you don't already have contacts there (that is if you've only been using Entourage for your contacts) then it will ask you if you want to put all your Entourage contacts into Address Book. I just don't remember.
    Surely someone else out there is more familiar with this, but it should get you started.

  • Address Book and using with Motorola v600

    I'm having trouble using the "Dial with cell phone" and "SMS Message" functions in Address Book with my Motorola v600. I click on the Bluetooth button in Address Book to pair it with my phone, and the pairing is successful. However, the functions are still grayed-out.
    I'm able to sync my Address Book and Calendar with my v600 phone using iSync. And I'm also able to navigate through the audio/video filles on my phone using Bluetooth File Exchange. So I don't think there's a problem with the connection.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the SMS and Dial with Cell Phone functions in Address Book to work with the Motorola v600? Thanks.

    wait, i meant contacts. for some reason the ipod touch will sync with windows contacts but won't sync with windows calendar.
    he will need microsoft outlook to sync his calendar.
    for contacts he doesn't need extra software:
    in the overview screen when the ipod is connected to itunes there is an info tab, in the contacts section, set it to sync with windows contacts.

  • 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!

    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.

  • Different names interchanging in Address Book and Owner login

    A bizarre problem:
    I have a nephew who is listed in my contact list whose name is the same as mine except for our middle names (he is named for me!). The middle names are included in both cards, and the rest of the contact information is quite different.
    Address book and the .Mac registration continue to confuse the two of us, and .Mac changes my card to his name and my contact information consistently. I have corrected the information on several occasions, only to have it changed through .Mac again.
    Help!!!!
    1. How do I get the contacts to be consistently and correctly distinguished in the Address Book propagation via .Mac?
    2. How do I get the Account ownership in each machine (I regularly use 6 different machines with the same login ID coordinated via .Mac) to reflect the correct one of us?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.....

    You probably have a Caller ID Issue.
    The most common causes of caller ID problems are:
    - duplicate entries in your contacts, including entries stored on your sim card. This is a problem becuase the phone does not know which name to display and so it doesn't display any. Duplication also includes the same number in different formats. Try searching for a PART of the number as if for example you search for +353 123 456 789, it won't find +353123456789, whereas if you search for 6789 it would.
    Having different formats is a problem for caller ID.
    - using your international dial code instead of "+", eg: using 00353123456789 (wrong) instead or +353123456789 (right).
    - spaces in numbers (some phones, some firmware versions only), eg: +353 123 456 789 (wrong) instead or +353123456789 (right).
    - MS Outlook putting "(0)" in number - if you define a country for a contact in MS Outlook it will automatically add a country code and insert a "(0)" in the number in front of the area code, eg: +353123456789 becomes +353 (0) 123456789. You need to remove the "(0)"s
    - there has been reports of more than 7 digit numbers causing problems. Some phones may not differentiate between +353123456789 and +353993456789.

  • Address Book and long SMS Messages

    I have a Bluetooth equipped Mac and a Bluetooth equipped Sony Ericsson mobile. The phone is able to send and receive so called "Long Messages" with an upper limit of 768 characters.
    I want to type my message in Address Book and then send it via my mobile.
    It would appear that Adress Book only recognizes the old 140 character message standard and tells me "Too long by 138 characters". Then Send button is grayed out.
    Anyone know of a trick to make Address Book play along?
    Thanks.

    Perhaps this...
    The application supports the ability to send long text messages of up to 459 characters in length and to set your own, custom, Sender ID.

  • Syncing iPhone to iCal and Address Book and vice versa do not work

    I am a 6 year Mac user and a 1 1/2 year iPhone user. What I am about to tell you should have been addressed long ago. When I sync my iPhone to my iMac only the applications and music sync. Neither data from the iCal or Address Book sync either way. I used to be able to sync appointments from my original iPhone to iCal, but my 3G phone does not sync at all. Could you tell me where to turn or what to do. I think I need to fix it.
    And, how do I change the calendars on the iPhoen. All events are on the same calendar and I can't figure out how to specify a calendar for an event. You would think I would know this by now, but I don't......Thanks so much

    If you have selected the Address Book and iCal under the Info tab for your iPhone 3G sync preferences to sync contact info and calendars with and this is not working, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
