Changes not showing up on subscribed address book

We have our address book in the office shared to all of us with .Mac. The problem is, when we make changes on the original address book, they're not showing up for those who subscribe. How do I fix this?

I reset .Mac and this fixed the problem.

How to delete an iphone contact that does not show up in the address book

hello--
i am a new iphone 4s user and i had a quick question that i have not been able to find an answer to.
when i am using imessage, there are a few contacts that come up as options but yet they are not located in my address book or contacts list-- they are simply only an option when creating a new text imessage.
i would like to delete these contacts from the imessage list of options because they are numbers that i no longer need but i am not able to delete them.
someone please help me fix this problem so i can get rid of these contacts and not send any messages to them instead of the actual correct person!

Do you see any exceptions listed?

What Decides the Display Order of Subscribed Address Books?

I have asked this question before and received no help with it. The people who can help me are people who have at some time or other subscribed to 2 or more Address Books belonging to others.
Can anyone tell me what decides the order in which the address books I am subscribed to appear in the Groups Column? Obviously they appear below all local groups, but when I subscribe to more than one, I can't work out what decides the order in which they appear in the Groups Column. Its not alphabetical and its not creation order (new ones can appear "anywhere" in the list in my experience) and its not based on what subscribed Address Book is selected at the time I subscribe to a new person's Address Book. Any ideas much appreciated.

The box to the far right (Settings) provides only for sort by newest or by oldest. Obviously, a designer who never listens to podcasts via iTunes was in charge. Yet another demonstration of Apple's growing design sclerosis.
I'm finding an old version of iTunes to which I can resort. I use iTunes for podcasts more than commercial schlock -- obviously not in keeping with Apple's business plan -- and there's no advantage to staying with 11.1. Here's an article from SF Chronicle how to do this (it's a popular article!):

You might get a better response in the iSync forum, as your question is about syncing.

Contacts added in Messages don't show up in Contacts/Address Book?

Okay, here's what's happening:
1) A friend messages me for the first time
2) At the top of the message window I hit "Add contact"
3) I type in the details
4) Now, this new contact SHOULD show up in my Address Book/the Contacts app, right? But it doesn't!

If found a thread on stackexchange dealing with several suggestions, none of which worked for me. The last message in the thread is diappointing as it basically says "don't use the add contact feature in the Message app". Unfortunately that is the answer I'll be going with since the feature is obviously broken.
Here's the link to the thread: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/36131/some-contacts-not-showing-up-but- are-still-stored-in-iphone-4

Format address panel in iCal to show Department from the address book. At the moment it is showing 'Job Title' even though that has been removed in Address Book.

Can anybody help please How do I Format address panel in iCal to show Department from the address book. At the moment it is showing 'Job Title' even though that has been removed in Address Book.

I have a similar problem. I actually spoke with a Paypal customer Representative a few months back who informed me that they had deleted all of my previous *Hidden* Address but when I just purchased an item today on a online merchant's site that I had never been to before and checked out using their Paypal option, I noticed that my default shipping address was in fact my old address and when I went to change the address to my current address, I noticed all of the old addresses I ever used were still there. I've just spoken with 2 separate paypal representatives who confirmed on their end that all of the old address have been deleted and the only one they have on file is my current address. Can anyone provide me an explanation as to why the old hidden address can still be showing up when I check out on merchant's sites using paypal even after they've seemingly been deleted? The last Representative suggested clearing out my browser's cache, but I don't believe that will resolve my issue. Thank you in advance.

Doesn't iPhone transfer any changes made to contacts back into Address Book

I was under the impression that I could make changes to my contacts on my iPhone and then when I sync'd, those changes would be applied to my Address Book on my computer.
Example - I sync'd all of my contacts from my computer onto my iPhone. Today one of my coworkers gave me her cell phone number. I added this right into my phone, thinking that when I sync'd tonight, that number would be put into Address Book. It did not happen. The number did not go into Address Book, and her original contact info (with no cell phone number) was transferred back onto the iPhone. What would cause this, I can't find any settings that I have wrong.....

David -
iPhone does indeed transfer any calendar event or address book addition that you added to your iPhone back to your computer. It works seemlessly on mine. When I add something to my iPhone for example and it starts to sync, when it sees a change a message box pops up on my Macbook and asks me if I want certain changes to take place (it will give you the number of items that are either being added straight out or simply modified).
I'm not sure if you are working on a Mac or PC, but my guess is you should be seeing this box and having the option to add or modify. If you are not than that probably is the problem.
Try holding down the sleep button on the iPhone for a few seconds until you see the APPLE logo. This will reset the phone. It could be a glitch between your phone an dthe system. If that doesn't work try hard resetting then adding all your info in. Also in iTunes there is an option tab for Calendar and Address Book. While I'm not sure this would work, you can give it a shot - try unchecking which ever one (or both) you are finding won't sync, then syncing iPhone, then re-chceking them, and syncing again.
I guess try everything you can yourself before calling Apple tech.
Hope any of these help!

I have a MacBook Pro, an Ipad and an I-Phone, and here's the problem (unless I'm wrong, and I would love to be corrected on this.) If I change a contact's information in Address Book (new email, new address, etc.) I have to do it on all 3 devices! Synci

I have three APPLE products however my frustration comes from the understanding that if I change information on a Contact in Address Book on my computer, when I sync my devices, the old information will come back to my Address Book Contact from my other devices! ONE DEVICE NEEDS TO BE THE BOSS! I think it's crazy that I have to manually correct change of address, email info, whatever changes for one contact, MANUALLY on all three devices so that the information is the same. I've deleted old email addresses from my computer, just to have that old email address reloaded from one of my other devices during a sync. Is there a solution for this?

I see what your problem is. You are physically connected the devices. It would be better if the information was in iCloud. Then they all would sync instantly.

Thunderbird will not keep new contacts in address book

I have added new contacts to my address book. When I go back a day later to use them they are gone. I have to recreate them to send an e-mail. Also I create a group contact and the same thing. I can use it the day I create it but the next day it is gone, Thunderbird does not save it to my address book. What is wrong ???. This is very upsetting and time consuming.

The symptoms suggest your Address Book is corrupted.
It can be fixed by exporting the affected address book to an LDIF file and then re-importing it. If it's one of the two built-in address books, you will need to close Thunderbird, open its profile and delete the relevant *.mab address book file. For the ''Personal Address Book'', this is '''abook.mab''', and for ''Collected Addresses'', it's '''history.mab'''.
Other user-defined address books will have names such as '''abook-1.mab'''; the challenge it to work out which is which. However, user-defined address books can be deleted within Thunderbird, simply by selecting them in the Address Book and using the delete key. So you don't need to fish about in the profile for these.

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

Adding notes to Mutliple Contacts in Address Book

Does anyone know how to add a note to multiple contacts in address book? For example I have a list of people I sent holiday cards to and would like to add a note "Holiday Card 2005" to each contact. I do not want to create a "Group".
Thanks!
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

There's currently no way to do this within the application, but Address Book's applescript support should make this possible. You can select a number of records, and have a script operate on the people within the selection.

ITunes not allowing sub group of Address Book to sync with new iPad

When i try to sync part of my address book from iTunes, it only allows my to sync all vs a particular sub group I have created. I had imported these contacts specifically for my wife's new Ipad and we prefer not to have the whole Address Book. Please advise

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???

How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2

How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2

Do you have any addresses in the Lion version?
If not, copy the AddressBook folder from your username/Library/Application Support/ folder on the old mac (or backup).
Copy it to the same location on your new Mac, replacing the one that is there. Start Address Book in Mountain Lion and it should convert the files to the correct format.
If you do have addresses, it is a little more complicated.
First, create a Contacts Archive (from File>Export menu). This will be your backup.
Next, export the current contacts as vCards.
Then, follow the steps above.
Then, import all the cards you exported. If you select all and double-click, it will ask if you want to add them. You'll then have to add them to whatever groups you had set up.
