Cant add new contacts to Address Book Server

I would like to have a Global Address Book Server where all the user can add/delete contacts. I have done all the setups but in the iMacs (the users) I can see the Address Book Server but NOT the + button to add a new contact. Why ?
In the group name, together to "Address Book Server" there is not any error icon so I understand the client-server connection is well done.
Can someone tell me what should I check ?
Thank you in advanced

I was look ing at this last night. I think there's an 'add new contacts to' type pop-up somewhere in the client account settings. That might be it.

Can't add new Contact in address book

I am trying to add a new contact in the address book by using the + sign at the bottom of the list of names, and it just switches to the next contact. It does NOT create a NEW contact. Is there a limit of contacts for the address book that I am not aware of ?
Thanks in advance

Have you tried adding a contact from the file menu?

Synch new contacts from Address Book no longer works.

My iphone will no longer synch new contacts in my Address Book on my Mac. It was working fine and then I loaded too much audio content and ran out of memory so I think it could not synch properly without memory available. I've since deleted all my audio and have plenty of space yet new contacts in Address Book do not show up on my iPhone even though the synch process appears to complete. Any ideas?

I hope you are doing this over wifi, if you are not then you may have exceeded your monthly data limit, but I doubt that's the problem. All I can say is that Address Book will be getting refurbished soon, and according to Apple, it will be far more simple to transfer data between iOS and Macs.

Using Automator to make a new contact in Address Book

Hello.
I would love to create a service that allows me to, for example, highlight text in Safari, the choose a service that would create a new contact in Address Book based on that text.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.

this can possibly work but could be tricky to do.
an address can have several lines for street address, several phone numbers and you'd have to figure out how to parse all the information correctly and also get rid of any extraneous stuff that may be selected along with the address. i confess I don't know quite how to do it. It might be possible though. snow leopard does have address recognition built in so it does it somehow.
try asking in the AppleScript forum under OS X technologies.

ADDING CONTACTS TO ADDRESS BOOK SERVER!!!!!!!!!

Can someone please help me figure out how to add contacts to the address book server. I tried to drag my contacts but it doesn't work. There is no "+" button for me to add new contacts. I've been trying for a couple days and nothing. Thank you in advance!

Try Googling create group in address book -- or something similar!
In Address Book there is a + sign at the bottom of the window. Select the root folder of the server account in the Address Book client, and click the + to create a group, then type its name if you don't want it to be called 'new group'.

Transfering new contacts to address book in my Macbook Pro

Previously, I synced my mom's iphone contacts into my macbook pro. So the contacts in my address book are hers. Recently, i got my own iphone and i would like to transfer my contacts into my macbook. So how do i transfer the new contacts?
Thanks, i will appreciate any help or feedback.

sorry where do I find the sync history to reset in itunes?
so if i understand you if i have only 100 contacts on my laptop and 500 on my itouch and i sync the two those 500 will go over to the laptop from the touch with no special resetting or instructions other than hitting the sync button.
why i am cautious is because after updating my OS some how some way i lost most of contact in address book on my laptop and am hoping just syncing the laptop with the itouch in i tunes will restore them. is that whatz going to happen i hope?

Cant sync NEW group in Address Book to Itunes

So here is my delema. I got a new Iphone (From BB), and instead of typing with my thumbs to insert all my old contacts, i opened address book on my macbook pro running Lion and firstly created a new group, then started adding and creating new contacts within that new group. Once finished, i opened Itunes and it does not recognize the new group and i can not sync my new entries to my phone. Even tho when i check all contacts in Address book it shows my new entries, its almost like they don't exist. Also if i check import ALL contacts in Itunes it also does not import the new entries. Like i said, in theory they are in Address book, but not recognizable???
Very frustraing. Any suggestions.

Oh flip what did i do.
So i followed the instructions from that link. I re did my address book. That did not seem to work. So i reset my sync folder by copying and pasting the recomended path into the moniter. now when i go to itunes and try and sync my contacts absolutly nothing goes onto my phone.
I am so frustrated and now a little worried.
Sound familiar at all???

First, try resetting your phone:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release(ignore the slide to power off).

Go to Solution.

You have recently upgraded either your AIM, MSN/Live, Gtalk or Yahoo Messenger.
Remove the app you upgraded and your address book will be fine.
There's a glitch in the upgrade of which I understand RIM is aware of and working to fix.

How to add custom label to a new contact in address book which is synced with outlook account

Hello all,
My iPhone is synced with outlook account. When I tried to create a new contact,'Add Custom Label' option was missing. Is Apple provides any solution to handle this? Is there any documentation provided about this behavior?

The second script is working but if I need to change the link it will not allow me to edit or delete it in iCal on my desktop. The only way to edit it is to use the online iCal in me.com.
And the worst problem is that the url does not show up on my iPhone iCal. The iPhone version of iCal has limited features. So if I'm away from the office on my iPhone I still have the problem of having no link to my iCal appointment. I still end up having to use both iCal and Contacts as separate Apps.
I still dont understand why Apple wouldnt make these 2 Apps work together! It seems so obvious! thanks anyway.

Mail seems to add certain contacts to Address Book automatically

I'm not sure how it happens as I can't seem to find the option in Mail to turn it off, but it seems as though Mail wants to automatically add contacts into my Address Book.
At least I think it's Mail. I don't think iPhone would do that, would it?
Any idea how I can turn that off?

If you sync multiple devices via iCloud and at the same time sync the contacts via email boxes or even several then your contacts / address book will end up in chaos. When you add contacts on a mobile device one expect to be asked to which mailbox you would like to add the contact but this is not happening i.e. the new contact is synced with all mailboxes that have the sync contacts on.
As an example is you add a contact from your iPhone this contact is propagated via iCloud to the sync'd devices e.g. iMac and iPad and also to all the email accounts if the option sync contacts is on.
On the other hand if you add an email account with contacts and switch the sync contacts option on you might see multiple entries of the same contact. These will disappear / 'be deleted' if you switch the sync contacts off for the the email account.
The best choice is keep the iCloud sync on for all devices and switch the sync of contacts of all your mail accounts off and import , cleanup duplicates off all the various contacts lists.

Cant add or delete in Address Book

Address Book has become very weird. I cannot add or permanently delete cards or edit the existing cards. When I select a card, the edit button is unavailable (grayed out) as are New Card, New Group etc in the File list. I have used Edit to delete cards but they reappear when Address Book is reopened. I am working in OS 10.4.7, Address Book 4.0.4. I am using Missing Sync 2.5.0 b2 to synch my PDA. I have not made any changes in Address Book in some time so have no idea when this started. Have tried restarts, trashing Address Book.plist, I would reinstall Address Book but can’t find it in Mac downloads.
Has anyone else had this problem or have any ideas?

There could be some corruption in the AB database.
Turn of syncing (I never trust it!).
File/Back up address book (so we can recover if everything goes wrong)
Select all your contacts
File/Export vCards
Quit AB
Find and delete ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook.data
Restart AB
File/Import/vCards
Hopefully, anything bad in the database will be cleared out by this, possibly at the expense of one or two contacts.
Another thing to try is to check your fonts. AB uses LucidaGrande and Helvetica; use Font Book to verify that they are OK.

New contacts in address book not synching with mobile me

Just thought I'd add a solution to anyone who had a similar problem as mine. This had been going on for a while and I just finally got around to trying to fix it.
I'm using mobileme. The specific problem I had was adding new contacts on my main computer's address book, and then they were not updating the mobileme address book, and in so doing would keep deleting the newly inputted contact on my main computer's address book. Really frustrating. All the old contacts were synching fine, it was just new contacts that I added.
In the end, I found the answer, and it was a corrupted 'Addressbook-v22.abcddb' in my home folder/library/appl support/addressbook I moved it to the desktop and restarted address book.
Now, everything works as it should.
Just thought I'd share if anyone else is having the same weird issue.

Thanks Philip!

i have a blackberry curve 8520.
at the momment i have 288 contacts but i can not add more. I go to menu, address book, new contact, the window give me the options, i add the information (name, phone, email, etc) and when i want to save the contact it do not save

Please i need some help with this issues
thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

While there is no hard limit on how many contacts you can have in your device, there is a soft limit in that you can only have as many as your device memory can handle. Check your available memory to see if you have any remaining space. If not, then consider cleaning out/uninstalling some things you do not need in order to increase available memory for more contacts.
Disclaimer: I'm just a regular user like the rest of you. I have spent a lot of time learning the limitations of the Blackberries to know how to fix most problems. If I have suggested a fix, please give a kudo and mark as a solution!

Crash while adding new Contact to Address Book

When I add a new contact to my IPhone 4s Address Book ("Contacts") it sometimes crashes if you enter all the information and tap "done". It doesn't crash if you first enter the first/last name - tap done - open the contact and edit it. After "Contacts" crashes the new entry is not saved.
It is very annoying especially if you are on the go or you ask the person 3 times for their contact details...

Tell me about it... I always save after entering the name THEN I edit it again to add the number .. save .. and add additional details like email etc
