Contact card format incompatibility between Outlook for Mac and Mac contacts

Seems that Mac Office 2011 Outlook contacts no longer directly sync with iPhone, I use a manual process of dragging the vcf file from my Outlook contacts list to a desktop folder and then dragging the contact from that folder to my Mac Contacts file. Even though Mac contacts file accepts the file, sometimes information is missing and the contact data won't go to the icloud and thence post to my iPhone. It's as if the .vcf format from Outlook isn't a match for the .vcf file format that Mac Contacts expects. Many times I have to manually copy the contact data from the outlook contact into a new contact file in Mac Contacts to get that contact to sync across iCloud to my iPhone. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be?

Hello,
Open both in Text Wrangler, 2nd line should show version, are they the same?
What are the differences beyond there?
Do some Outlook entries have some separators in the entry, like : or ; that may be throwing off the fields?

  • Step by Step how to re-format portable hard drive for pc and MAC

    Using a Mac book pro with Lion OS  Any help with this would be appreciated .

    Easy.
    You should format the drive on the PC.
    For most compatability and for any files under 4GB in size format in Windows FAT32  (MSDOS on Mac)
    For any sized files 4GB or more, then format exFAT in Windows.
    If your running a Windows XP machine, search Microsoft for a free download and install exFAT for XP.
    FAT or exFAT can both be read and written too by Mac's and PC's alike.
    Most drives come from the factory already formatted FAT, if this is what you want then there is nothng you need to do.
    If Windows asks to format the drive then choose FAT or exFAT, but not NTFS.
    A bit harder, if you have no choice but to format the drive on the Mac, then open Apple's Disk Utility and hook up the drive, select tthe drive on the far right, it should be obvious with the drive makers name and size, select that it's on the far left.
    Now select Partition Tab, Options: MBR, format: MSDOS (FAT) or exFAT and click apply.
    that's it, but I suggest you format on the PC for better results.

  • Formatting an external harddrive for XP and Mac?

    I have a lacie brick USB harddrive.
    Although the drive is fine in OSX it cannot be seen in XP. I have been told XP cannot read Mac Extended.
    As the drive would just be used for accessing itunes and photos etc is there any format I can use so that both OSes see it?
    Also how would I go about achieving this? My brick came with a disk but I cannot for the life of me find it anywhere! The disk utility only seems to have unix and mac extended.
    Thanks for any help.

    The only real way is to reformat your drive to MS DOS, but this means you cant repair it properly in OS X and is not the optimul solution, there is a program called Mac Drive, which allows XP to read Mac volumes, you might be best getting this if its only ocassionally that you need to read the drive and prefer it to be HFS+ formatted

  • Use external drive for windows and mac

    Hello,
    I just bought a external 320Gb Western Digital Drive. I would like to use
    the drive for windows and mac.I will not like to make partation on the drive
    to use it on both operating systems. Is there any formating system with which i can use in both operating systems? I would like to use time machine feature on that drive also.
    Thanx.

    If you want to use a disk for both PC/Mac file storage and Time Machine, you will have to create two partitions. Partitioning is sort of like creating multiple virtual disks on the same physical disk. One partition should be formatted for PC (which the Mac can also use) and the other should be formatted for HFS+ (Mac only) which is what Time Machine requires. The Disk Utility application makes partitioning and formatting very easy.

  • Is there any incompatibility between Labview 8.5 and Traditional DAQ?

    Hi,  I`m using a DAQPad 6020E and the Labview 8.5 Daq assistant don`t detecte my DAQ when a try to create a new task (to create a new virtual chanel). But MAX detect the DaqPad. So, is ther any incompatibility between Labview 8.5 and traditional Daq? Do you know how can I resolve this?
    Thanks.

    First, you posted to the wrong board. Measure is an old add-on for Excel.
    Second, there is no incompatibility between LabVIEW 8.5 and tradtional DAQ. There is an incompatibility between traditional DAQ and DAQmx which is what the DAQ Assistant uses. Make sure that you install DAQmx if your device is supported by it. Otherwise, you will not be able to use the DAQ Assistant.

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support - I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).

    I have forgotten my Password to be able to connect between my desktop Mac and Mac Book on my home network. How can I recover the password or change it?

    The password used to log in to a user account remotely is the same as you would use to log into it locally. You can also use your Apple ID, so try that.
    To change your login password read OS X Mavericks: Reset a login password
    also OS X Mavericks: If you forget your login password

  • For printer LaserJet Profession​al CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC

    Dear All
    for printer  LaserJet Professional CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC?please help?

    What Windows OS are you using?  Are you networked?
    If you are networked, you have to setup your file and print sharing options in order to require password assess.  If you are just trying to control specific files from being printed, you can do that, too.
    If you are just trying to control the amount of printing off of a single PC with a printer, you could setup different accounts for each user and limit their access. 
    Some of the commercial printers can have password options, but I do not find any password options for the CM 1410, other than what I provided earlier.
    If I have been helpful, a Kudo is always appreciated.

  • Can I have a Single Licence for Windows and Mac?

    I have PS CS4 for Windows installed on my desktop computer. I have recently bought a MacBook Pro. Can I install PS on my new laptop using my Windows licence or must I buy another licence.

    If you have a windows clone software installed, then it should be fine. But if you want the mac version of photoshop, then normally you would buy the CS4 photoshop for Mac as the CD version comes with only 1 license for 1 platform.
    However, since CS4 is not the current version you could subscribe to the cloud and that license is for Windows and Mac.

    This is from a tester describing what happens on a Mac:
    No the program does not launch properly on the Mac
    What happens is this.
    I open my applications folder
    I open the App Folder and see another folder labeled Program V2.1
    I open that folder and see the Program blue icon which click to launch
    The folder disappears and the blue Program icon appears in my dock along side other applications looking ready for launching.
    This is where the problem starts
    If I click on the blue Program icon which is in my dock along side all of my other application icons they all drop off the screen. like the screen resolution changed suddenly or something,
    The menu along the top of the screen also moves off the screen . in the same manner
    so my desktop which usually has a visible dock at the bottom and a menu bar on the top now doesn't show either of those elements.
    I do have a couple of document icons on my desktop , you know text files or what ever they never move
    If I now click my mouse anywhere on the screen all of the icons return including the blue Program icon still sitting in by dock, if I click it again same sequence of actions.
    I deleted and reinstalled the latest version of Adobe Air and got the same result
    I also want to mention
    The top menu on the mac tells me what application is active, you know "finder" "Open office" "Firefox" what ever is program is running and active shows there
    Program has never show up as being active in the top menu so I'm guessing never fully launched
