All fields in apple "address book" to iPhone "contacts" possible?

I need to have the complete record from my apple "address book" application on my phone's and iPad's contact info. Are the fields even there? For example, the "child", "partner", "Spouse", etc. Is there a better app that mirrors the info perfectly and syncs w MobileMe?

I have a problem similar to DeeRun's.. I would like the IM fields to be synced.. I use them to send e-mails to when the e-mail field is empty or when i just want to use that specific address.. Very annoying, would take hours if not days to transfer all those IM adresses to e-mail fields in addressbook..
EDIT: not to mention the mess it would make in my address book!

  • Sync all fields from Mac Address Book to iPhone Contacts

    You would think that all the fields entered in Address Book would sync to iPhone Contacts. I have fields for "spouse", "assistant" and some custom fields like "skype", "blackberry", etc, which do not get transferred over to iPhone.
    I migrated from Entourage/Palm to "all Mac apps" to resolve this problem and now have fewer fields available than before!
    I want ALL fields sync'ed over to my iP3G!
    Anyone have a fix for this?

  • Contacts not synching from Apple Address Book to iPhone

    I updated to iTunes 10.6.3 on MacOS 10.8.1 and my Contacts no longer synch.
    In fact, on the iTunes Info page, the groups don't even display when Synch Contacts and All Contacts are both selected.
    The iPhone has iOS 5.1.1, which is current.
    I checked Software Update. Then I synched with the advanced option to overwrite Contacts on the iPhone with the Apple Address Book on my iMac. No luck.
    Then I searched online and didn't find anything on point, so I came here to share this issue in the hopes that you have some inights and ideas to fix this problem.
    Any suggestions?
    BTW, this clears Contacts on the iPhone.
    Thanks in advance!

    Oops -- I just had to turn iCloud on in the System settings on the iPhone, then the Contacts synched.

  • Ipad contacts not displaying all fields from mac address book, ipad contacts not displaying all fields from mac address book

  • Address book and iPhone contacts not syncing

    I have just got an iPhone 4. However, I now realise that all of the contact info that I'd been adding over a very long time to my old iPhone 3G has not come across. None of it seems to have synced with the address book on my iMac. Why is this so? It seems that the iMac address book has been overriding my iPhone contacts during the sync (which I do very regularly). Can I get this info back from my Time Machine backup?

    Go into System Preferences -> iCloud. Firstly check that Contact syncing is enabled, and then check that you are signed into the same Apple ID.
    Otherwise turn Contact syncing off and then back on. Then select to merge when prompting.

  • Syncing Google Gmail Contacts with Address Book and iPhone Contacts

    Can anyone recommend a good way to sync Google Gmail Contacts with the Address Book on the Mac and with Contacts on the iPhone?
    I tried using ABGMerge, but could not get it to work so and am looking for other options. Thanks.

    The Plaxo 3 non-pubic beta application currently supports only Mozilla and FireFox 1.5 and Internet Explorer 6. Safari support, and support for updated OS X thrid-party browsers, has not yet been released. To say that there are some anomalies and visual artifacts with Safari 2, would be an understatement. But, then, I often find this to be the case with beta—particularly, pre-public beta, software.
    The current release—build 356—supports these 'sync points:'
    • Mac OS X through a System Preferences pane
    • AOL and AIM
    • LinkedIn
    • mobile access
    • MSN and WIndows Live
    • Outlook
    • Outlook Express
    • Windows Mail
    • Yahoo
    It does not yet support Google. Or, not yet reliably or completely. The little 'hippo' that pops up periodically in the beta says, "Google Calendar Sync has been temporarily disabled. We are working diligently to resolve the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience."
    The verdict at the moment: contact synchronization performs as it always has with Plaxo. Calendar synchronization is clearly not yet ready for prime-time, even to the Plaxo 3 web interface itself.

  • HT4489 How can I synchronize contacts between Apple Address Book/iPhone address book and Outlook (I'm on Mac OX10.7.4 and using Office 2011)?

    I appear to have done what I should to move to iCloud on my Mac, MacbookAir, iPhone and iPad.  Using Outlook 2011 on the iMac and unable to sync contacts between Outlook and my Apple Address Book and iPhone over the cloud.  I gather lots of people have the same problem but some appear to have solved it... any ideas?
    Also, in some sync, I managed to duplicate the entries on the Address Book on my Mac, whereas the iCloud Address Book is ok.  How can I replace the Address Book on my computer with the one on iCloud?
    Thank You for any help!

    Hi Lucy, I had the same problem with Outlook data sync. Once you've enabled iCloud all your contacts are moved to iCloud and are no longer stored on Mac, that's why Outlook cannot reach them - there is simply nothing to reach as data physically stored in cloud.
    I use SyncMate to solve this problem. This app allows connecting and syncing numerous devices and accounts with your Mac and they have recently added iCloud into this list (here the page where they describe sync with iCloud http://www.sync-mac.com/cloud-sync.html ).
    This is how I established sync of my Outlook data with iCloud via this app.
    1. SyncMate syncs only that data which is located on your Mac so you will need to move your contacts back to Address Book on mac from iCloud and disable iCloud for contacts (in order they were stored on Mac, not in iCloud).
    2. You install SyncMate and add iCloud as a new connection (depending on data you want to sync you need to choose "Cloud contacts" or "Cloud calendars" connection in SyncMate wizard and log into your iCloud via SyncMate). Once you've done this, you can sync data on Mac with iCloud via SyncMate.
    3. I may assume that automatic sync option is enabled in Outlook preferences (as previously your contacts on Mac were synced with Outlook). If no - please, enable it (got to Outlook preferences).
    4. Once all this done, data will be automatically synced betwen Outlook and iCloud (latter via SyncMate). The trick of SyncMate is that data is physically located on your Mac (thus ensuring it will be synced with other devices and accounts SyncMate supports, as I said before, SyncMate works with data which is located on Mac), but you still can have it in iCloud (sync will be performed via SyncMate, no need to enable iCloud itself).
    5. And of course, you will be able to sync your iPhone contacts with your Mac (SyncMate supports sync with iPhones also). These contacts will be also synced to Outlook.

  • IPhone and Gmail contacts do sync - but not Apple Address Book

    Hi,
    iPhone and Gmail contacts sync just fine. Only my Apple Address Book do not sync at all - neither with the iPhone nor Gmail.
    I have activated syncing options with gmail in both Address Book and iTunes iPhone settings.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    ShamRockNRoll,
    Have you noticed if it's a specific group that is not syncing correctly, or is it random contacts from all groups? If it's just a specific group, you may need to delete that group in Address Book and recreate it.
    If it's random contacts from all groups and if all of the contacts you want on the iPhone are in Address Book, you can just select "Contacts" from the Advanced section down at the bottom of the Info tab. That will replace all contacts on the iPhone with those that you have selected to sync from Address Book.
    Hope this helps,
    Jennifer B.

  • Group names and content from Apple Address Book not syncing to iphone

    My contact from Apple Address Book Syncs, but no group names get down loaded. Clicking The "group" icon in the iphone status bar bring up an empty page from which I cannot recover back to all contacts without restarting the device. In Essence the contact app is stuck in a blank group page.

    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?

  • I have an iphone 4S with broken wifi (!) and I need to sync my contacts before I set up my new iphone 6. I thought contacts synced automatically with itunes but seems not.  I've found my Apple address book but contacts are outdated. What to do? Help!

    I have an iphone 4S with broken wif i :-( and I need to sync my contacts before I set up my new iphone 6. I thought contacts synced automatically with itunes but seems not.  I've found my Apple address book but contacts are outdated. What to do? Help!

    If your Bluetooth is working, you may be able to tether your phone to another device, and backup that way.  Either via iCloud or one of many Apps that send yourself a VCF file containing your contacts.
    You may have to update to a later IOS via USB and iTunes, not sure if IOS 6 has Bluetooth Tethering.
    I would have thought you could also switch off cloud sync'ing for your contacts, this should ask a question if you want to keep the contacts on your phone.  An iTunes Backup and then Restore to your new iPhone should restore the local contacts.  Then sync these back to the iCloud.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I migrate from Outlook 2011 to iCal and Apple Address Book in Mavericks now that synching is no longer possible?

    Now that I am on Mavericks and no longer able to sync between my iPhone/iPad and Outlook 2011 on my MacBook Pro, I'm finally taking the leap (which I should have done long ago) and abandoning Outlook 2011 all together (doesn't help that Outlook now prompts me to rebuild by Identity multiple times per day). I am hoping to export from Outlook to iCal, Address Book, etc, but I would love it if someone could check my steps.
    Delete iCal and Apple Address Book content -- Because I have old data in iCal and Address Book (that was synched before I upgraded to Mavericks), I planned to delete this data as follows:
    Manually deleting my multiple calendars in the iCal app
    Go to Go>Home>Library>Calendars and drag "Calendar Cache" to trash
    Go to Go>Home>Library>Caches and drag "com.apple.iCal" and "com.apple.AddressBook" to the trash
    Go to Go>Home>Library>Application Support and drag "Address Book" to the trash
    Export Outlook 2011 Calendars to iCalIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into iCal? I will use this file format to individually export each of my calendars from Outlook 2011 and import them into iCal.
    Export Outlook 2011 Contact List to Apple Address BookIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into Apple Address Book?
    Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi acs4055,
    As per your query I found a relevant solution for resolving this,  actually I haven’t tried the steps you wrote here in your query.  But I found a solid key answer for exporting from Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.1) Outlook 2011 to iCal for Apple mail. This is possible through Drag and Drop method via this you can undoubtedly migrate Outlook 2011 Calendar to ical format.
    Hope it will assist you and you will be able to attain a desired solution.

  • Problems with Apple Address Book Sync after upgrading BBDesktop s/w. Also, no more Rogers support - abandoned customer

    I just upgraded my BB Desktop Software but now have a sync error - details show that over 800 entries need to be synced.
    When I look at 'details', the 'before' shows a phone number field called "Main Fax" the 'after' shows a phone number field called "Other", with the same phone number targeted.
    There are a handful of other syncs such as address blank in 'before' and completed in 'after.  I found these by just scrolling down the list with my down arrow and scanning the 'before' entries as they flew by. 
    There seems to be no way for me to manually choose which of the 'before' and 'after' I'd like to have.
    Worst of all, I called Rogers for sync support, as I have done for years.  Guess what? They've stopped supporting anything but their actual network connections, but didn't bother to tell their customers.  There I was in a 'user down' situation, late for an appointment (missed it totally thanks to this), and they were telling me the most they can do is send an e-mail. or have me *pay* for the support that used to be free, selling me a 'premium support' package. Yikes!
    So I clicked 'sync later' on the address book, and am looking for help before I try another sync tomorrow.
    For example, ideas to help me manually over-ride the data field mapping from 'Main Fax' to 'Fax' in Blackberry Desktop Software.
    Anyone have any ideas?  Much appreciated!
    I live in Canada, by the way, so if you are a Rogers customer in Canada, take note of their change in support.
    Thank God I did  a backup before I upgraded my Blackberry Desktop Software.

  • Create & Modify Date in Apple Address Book

    I use the create & modify date a lot in Microsoft Outlook's contacts.  Although those fields are supported and updated by the Apple Adderess Book, I can't see a way to display or sort on those in the Apple Address Book.

    I'm having problems as well. I've migrated all my contacts to iCloud, and the following simple script fails:
      make new group at the end of groups with properties {name:"Some group"}
      repeat with this_person in people
        add this_person to group current_group
      end repeat
    Syntax Error: Address Book got an error: You can only add a person to a group.
    This definitely worked in SL, and also prior to 10.7.2. That's why I suspect iCloud integration.

  • Batch Remove emails from Apple Address Book

    Hi everyone,
    I have a csv file contained all the email addresses that were bounced, all originating from my Address Book. This bounce file was obtained using another software (Email Bounce Handler by Maxprog).
    I was now wondering if there was any way to automatize the removal of these email addresses from my Address Book, with an Apple script or any kind of extension.
    Thanks in advance for your attention and your help.
    Cheers,
    Colin
