Calling Outlook 98's address book

How can I call Outlook 98's address book from developer 6.0?
Through API (any of this)? Or I need to make connection to the
exchange server?
thanks,

Contacts syncing is bidirectional, you can sync your phone with your work PC and put the contacts on the phone then you can sync it with your iMac and transfer your contacts to your Address book, just make sure you create at least a contact in your iMac so that the info merges

Contact name not showing in call/sms log even when I call/sms from my address book.

Two things have changed on my phone recently.
1. I ran the latest update 4.3.2
2. My phone was not showing all the contacts in my address book that is in my Mobile Me account. Mobile me had 166 contacts. The iPhone 4 had 136. I I unchecked the syncing of my contacts on my phone. This removed all the contacts from my phone. Then I check the syncing options again. All 166 appeared on the phone.
I'm not sure which of the two caused the issue but now anytime someone who calls their name does not appear on the display or log, just their number. I can even call people from my address book and the display shows that I am calling them with their name and photo on display. However, in the call log the name does not show just their number. This applies for text messages. I send a message directly from within the contact card in the address book and in my text log it shows only the number and not the name.
I've turned the phone off and on a couple of times.
I would appreciate any advice.
Cheers

Thanks iraghib,
In the end I reset my phone to factory settings. I created a back up of my address book and ical. Reset the phone and did a sync again. This fixed it all. I didn't need to use the backups but is was nice to know they were there. I felt entering the various passwords for all my installed apps was a much better deal than adding the international area code to the 166 contacts I have in my address book.
Good luck. And thanks for the post.

Moving outlook contacts to address book???

Hi,
Can someone please explain to me, step by step, how to move my outlook contacts to address book? The instructions found in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304721
don't work at all.
I have downloaded the app from littlemachines.com, but in these steps, I cannot locate where my contacts are, and therefore I cannot export them.
I have a USB stick with my contacts on, but these are file format .msg and cannot be imported into address book.
Please someone help me out.
Thanks! Any help is much appreciated.

Take a look here. Everyone, except me, seem to have great success with this.

If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts. There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

Convert Outlook Contacts to Address Book - Help

I am trying to convert Outlook Contracts to Snow Leopard Mac Address Book. I have been successful in converting and importing all contacts, but contacts with multiple e-mail addresses in Outlook Contacts only imported one e-mail per contact. My source file that I am using to import into MAC Address Book is a vCard file. I created the vCard file two different ways. First I tried Sperry Softward Add-In for Outlook. Next I tried importing the Sperry Softward source file into Google G-Mail Contacts. It imported into G-Mail successfully (multiple emails per each contact sucessfully imported). I then exported from G-Mail to create a new source file and imported the new file into MAC Address Book. It again, did not work.
Any thoughts? Thanks <D

"send/call" key shortcut to address book missing in 4.5?

i know this may sound nitpicky but in 4.3 i loved this feature where you just press and hold the green call/send button and go to address book. after updating to 4.5 it is not there. now, i know i can assign the convenience keys, show shortcut on home screen, and such to go to it but ive got all that just how i like it. i know you can hit a letter and takes you to the corresponding letter in address book also. when they removed it did they make any other "1 press" access to FULL address book? forgive the nitpickiness....haha

Thanks to both j.v. and Barney for your suggestions. I used a combination of your two ideas to almost solve this problem. The two computers are both connected to the same wireless network. From the MBP, I logged onto the PB using its ID/password. This gave me access to all files on that machine from the MBP. Importing the backup file Barney suggested earlier did not work - the Group names came over, but not the address cards! In fact, I couldn't delete the Groups within the application. I had to go eliminate the files in Library/Applications/Address Books folder to eliminate them.
In the PB, I then made Vcards as suggested for each Group as suggested by j.v. Since I was logged onto the PB via the MBP, I could see all these files. I thought I was home free when I imported the first Group's address cards, created a new Group with the same name, and dragged all these cards into the Group. For the subsequent groups, I had hoped to use the Last Import list, creating new group names for each group that I imported. HOWEVER, for some reason, Last Import contains all the cards imported, not just the last group! Any ideas as to how to overcome this problem? Is there a single file that I can delete to clear out Last Import?
Thanks again for any ideas.

How Import 2nd Outlook Exp. Address book? T-bird keeps wanting to keep importing 1st one again!

Trying to import from Outlook Express on XP system toT-Bird on Win 8.1 using flash drive. Told T-Bird Address Book Import function the wrong. wab so I deleted the initial wab and tried to import the correct one but T-Bird keeps importing the 1st one. It no longer lets me select the correct file it just seems to assume that it knows what I want and proceeds without letting me select the file. I did try leaving the 1st one on the system and importing the correct one but again it just imported the 1st one a second time!

Thank you for your response. Your answer got me thinking. I tried deleting 1st one from flash drive and deleting all contacts from the Contacts folder and finally I got to flash drive and imported 2nd file. However this did not go well so I must have a "cockpit" error that i will have to address.
But thanks again for getting me on the correct track.

Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2010 Offline Address Book Download

Hi All,
Strange problem that I can't seem to get to the bottom of.
On a couple of users, about 10/100, can't seem to download the Offline Address Book. When they do a manual Download Address Book through Send/Receive Group, the progress window will remain at about 5% and the status will show "Copying Offline Address Book
Template File". If I leave the window, it will be the same for a couple of hours without erroring out.
We have a casarray set up, forced the ports to 59595 and 59596 for the address book as mentioned the guide. We are not doing SSL redirect on the Virtual Directory. Test-AutoConfiguration from Outlook returns the correct entries. Works for most users but
not all.
On the users that do not work, I've tried deleting the users profile, deleting the Outlook Directory under AppData. Sometimes, magically (for a lack of a better word), if I check the Offline Address Book Directory a few days later, there are files there.
If I then do a manual Download, same thing, the progress bar will be stuck.
Puzzling as I'm not quite sure what else to check.
All clients are on Windows 7 and Outlook 2010.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave K

I also used your recipe --disconnect the wireless mouse-- and the OAB update worked right away.
     (It is not a Microsoft mouse.   )
Thanks for the information.
I have been trying to find information on non-HID.
If you have any quick tips or a pointer to info about this, I wanted to get a better understanding of this topic.
Does this "wireless" for the mouse use the same "wireless" for the laptop regular network access via WiFi ?
(We had some evidence that when the laptop did not use the wireless mouse the OAB worked OK and/or when the laptop was running only on WiFi the OAB worked OK.    Not sure if this is all the same root cause.)
Also, does anyone know if this is something that Microsoft will fix at some point ?
We are trying to determine if "few or many" people here might be having OAB failures and have not reported it.
Thanks again.

Sync with both Outlook and iCal / Address book

Hi,
I had an Exchange account, the contacts and the calendar was syncronized with my iPhone.
The Exchange account was deleted, so does my outlook client (actually, it was in my old company notebook what I had to give it back ...).
The conatct and calender entries are still in my iPhone, actually I need those very much.
But - if i delete the Exchange account from the iPhone, it will delete all the contacts and calendar entries - no option to merge to an other source. If I leave it as is - I can not save/ sync or edit these entries in my mac, because they are not synchronised any more ...
Do anyone has any idea how to save this entries to my mac directly, preferably to iCal / address book (without the Exchenge server and without the outlook client)?
thanx a lot

Hi,
after following a couple of threads and hints about this, I decided to research the issue myself. Posts like http://www.entourage.mvps.org/syncservices/ical.html seems to be out-of-date compared to my Entourage 2008/Leopard 10.5.1 configuration, but the hints provided are translatable to newer configs (with some imagination). No warranties, but this worked for me:
1. Open Entourage, choose preferences and disable all sync services. (By now, you should have all your events within Entourage Calendar, and being prepared to loose all data i iCal and PDA.)
2. Open iSync, choose preferences, and reset sync history. Close iSync.
3. Open iCal, delete the Entourage Calendar. Close iCal.
4. Navigate to ~Library/Application Support and delete
a) The folder Calendars and all its contents
b) All contents of the folder iSync
c) All contents of the folder SyncServices
5. Navigate to ~Library/Preferences
a) Delete com.apple.iCal.plist (if you find any other iCal files, those should probably be deleted as well)
b) Browse this directory for any files containing iSync or SyncServices. Delete'em all.
c) Repeat this excercise for the ByHost subdirectory.
6. Restart Entourage, choose preferences and switch the desired sync services on.
7. Restart iCal, and watch the Entourage calendar reappear (could take a minute or two).
8. Restart iSync, and synchronize your PDA. If the sync process asks to add another Entourage calendar to iCal, approve this. This happened to me, but no events ever made it to this calendar, and I was able to delete it from iCal directly following the sync. It hasn't reappeared.
Note: These hints are for calendar sync, and provided you have all events in the Entourage Calendar. I chose to empty iCal and PDA for the first sync, and to overwrite them with the information from Entourage.

Cannot dial call using Skype from Address Book in Lion

I used to be able to place a call using Skype by clicking and holding a telephone number in Address Book and releasing it on the option " Call with Skype".
Now, although the options still appears, it does not work.
Can anyone help?
There used to be an issue with 32 bit in Snow Leopard, and you could work around by compelling Addrees Book to open in 32 bit, but this seems to work no longer.

I've fpund the same problem. Running OS 10.6.8 and Skype 5.3.60.1093

ICal to alert me to call a contact from Address Book?

I currently use Entourage's address book as a contact manager and want to switch to Mac Address Book and iCal to track my clients. I can't figure out how to have a specific Address Book client alert me to call back on a specific date I specify.
For instance, in Entourage, I use it's address book function and set a "To Do Date" for it to remind me to call this client. I was told on the Address Book forum it's not possible unless iCal can do it. How is this done in iCal (other than having to set a new event in meeting-like iCal which would be a real pain)? I have to be reminded of 10 to 30 call-backs each day.
If this doesn't work, what's my options? If I stay with Entourage I have to deal with syncing to my iPhone via the archaic and entirely reliable Entourage to iCal via Sync Services, and then to my iPhone. I do end up with duplicates calendar entries on occasions.
B. Other software or ideas?

Hi Mike,
I agree with Austin. Applescript will help with this. I've taken a different tack with it though and I'd suggest using Address Book's plug-in structure.
Copy the script below into Script Editor and make changes to the lines starting "property". You'll need to save this script in your User's Library > Address Book Plug-Ins folder (you may need to make this folder) or it won't work.
Now when you click on the label of a phone number in Address Book there will be a contextual menu item to "Call <name> later". This will ask you for a date and to add more notes, then it will make a Todo in the calendar you set in the script.
-- Call Later -- John Maisey -- www.nhoj.co.uk -- 1 May 2009
-- -- Address Book plug-in
-- -- Save as CallLater.scpt and add to folder "~/Library/Address Book plug-ins"
property myCalendar : "Home" -- Calendar to add todo to.
property myAdvance : 7 -- Default number of days from current date
property setAlarm : true -- Do the Todos pop up an alarm? (true or false)
using terms from application "Address Book"
on action property
return "phone"
end action property
on should enable action for thePerson with theEntry
if theEntry is not equal to missing value then
return true
else
return false
end if
end should enable action
on action title for thePerson with theEntry
return "Call " & (name of thePerson) & " later"
end action title
on perform action for thePerson with theEntry
set theName to name of thePerson
set thePhoneNumber to value of theEntry
set theURL to "addressbook://" & id of thePerson
set myDate to text returned of (display dialog "Enter the date to call " & theName default answer (short date string of ((current date) + (myAdvance * days))) with title "Call Later - by John Maisey")
set myNotes to text returned of (display dialog "Additional notes" default answer return & return with title "Call Later - by John Maisey")
tell application "iCal"
try
set myTodo to make new todo at the end of todos of calendar myCalendar with properties {summary:"Call " & theName, url:theURL, due date:(my date myDate), description:"On " & thePhoneNumber & return & myNotes, priority:medium priority}

Do I want to sync with Outlook or Windows address book?

I currently have all of my contacts in outlook, but I never use outlook at all.
Is there anything in iTunes that allows you to save and sync your contacts?
Or do you always have to use outlook?
Whats this Windows address book?
Perhaps that might work better for me since I am not going to be using outlook?

With Windows, the supported applications for syncing contact information is Outlook 2003 or 2007, or the Windows Address Book or Windows Contacts - which is the address book used by Outlook Express with XP, and with Windows Mail with Vista - which is the name change for Outlook Express with Vista.
Is there anything in iTunes that allows you to save and sync your contacts?
iTunes serves as the conduit only for syncing contact information between your iPhone and the supported application on your computer.

Importing Outlook Express email address book

I have tried to sync my email address book but nothing gets transferred. What do I have to do?

when your Pod is connected to your machine, and you click on its icon in the left window of iTunes, you should see something like this (image shows an iPhone but should also apply to a Touch)
click on the info tab and select the items you wish to sync to your iPod.
any help ?

Migrating PC Outlook category to Address Book ??

Hi All
My son, a huge Apple fan , has persauded me to migrate from a PC to an Apple PowerBook G4.
All is going really well except for one issue which he cannot help with:
I transferred my (huge) contacts list to Vcards and then imported the Vcards into the Apple Address Book.
Everything seems to have transferred fine except for the Category section.
Categories are very useful and I use this feature a lot.The same contact can appear in several categories (eg Personal , Business , Xmas card , Tennis Club Newsletter ) . Very useful for newsletters or label runs etc.
Can some kind soul advise if there is any method of importing this feature ?
Thanks

I don't believe so.
The Address Book application uses Groups for this function but any contact available in an Address Book Group must be added to the primary Address Book "All" Group first.
I'm not aware of any import process or function that can create an Address Book Group name if not already available, add an imported contact to the primary "All" Group and place a copy in the newly created Address Book Group or place a copy in an existing Group.
Check/search Address Book Help for Groups for more information.
