Dialing and Sending SMSs from Address Book

Just upgraded to a new iMac 24" from a G4 MD running OSX 10.4.8. I successfully used my Sony Z520 phone before to send SMSs, and dial via the address book, along with the normal sync and other functions.
On the new iMac, the SMS and dialing functions do not work, though it pairs and syncs with my address book fine.
My phone pairs easily, easier than on the old computer. I have tried to delete and re-pair with same results (no dialing, no SMS).
It does dial Skype and Jajah (another VOiP system). Works fine.
When I recieved a call before, I could see who was calling me, but now it just says "unknown" in the dialogue box.
Any ideas how to get this working again?

You can use the Sony Ericsson Address Book Enabler to add SMS and Calls support for over 40 of the latest Sony Ericsson phones:

  • S700i and send sms from Address Book.

    Hi,
    I done a search for an answer but didn't find anything.
    Is it possible when in Address Book in osx 10.4.3 to select a mobile phone number and 'send sms'?
    This used to work but now doesn't.
    Is there anything I can do to fix this?
    Thanks.

    It works for me. I have an Nokia 8800 paired via bluetooth.
    Right click/control click on the phone number, and the option to send an SMS is there.
    It only works with the phone paired though. Make sure the Bluetooth button in Address Book is coloured blue.

  • Drag and drop Contact from Address Book to Pages Document on iPad

    On OS X MacBook and iMac I can use Drag and drop Contact functionality from Address Book directly on a Pages document. In Pages I have setup Merge fields to merge values from my Contacts. This works great!
    I would also like to use this in Pages on my iPad mini. I know Pages on iOS are different from Pages for OS X, but I wonder if there is any possibility for me to open OS X created Pages document with Merge fields on iPad's Pages and replace existing Contacts values with new one from Address Book?
    It seems like Pages on iOS even don't recognise Merge fields that I have created on OS X at all.

    Are you dragging directly from one application and dropping into the other? What happens if you export to vcf card then import the vcf card with the other application?

  • E71: Sending SMS from Address Book (Mac OS 10.4.11...

    Is anyone using an E71 with a Mac?
    It is supposedly possible to send an SMS from within Mac's Address Book, but I can't successfully do this despite the two gadgets having been paired and the Bluetooth icon appearing in the Address Book top bar.
    Do I need a plug-in or something?
    Thanks.

    I don't think it's possible. I have the iSync plugin from Nokia (http://www.nokia.com.au/A4630409) and that's just for syncing your contacts between your E71 and Address Book as well as your calendar events. As for the feature you're looking for regrettably that's not available.

  • Problems with pages and mail merging from Address Book

    hey guys. I have just created an invitation using one of the templates in Pages. this template is for four postcard size invites on one sheet of A4. i want to merge addresses from my address book. i can do the merge except that rather than four different contacts on each page i end up with four of the same on each page before it moves on the next contact on the next page. what i want to do is for it to merge one address per postcard. in Word i would put 'next' as the last field in the merge fields but i cant find a similar command in Pages. please can some advice?

    I don't use Address Book for mail merging, but I tested this on a four page document and it worked for that so maybe it will work for your postcards. First, do your merge with full size pages and one address per page. Then in the print menu select Layout (drop down from Copies and Pages) and set it for 4 per Page (any direction you wish). That should print four different addresses on one sheet.

  • Numbers '08 importing data and merging data from address book .....

    HI all,
    This is the time of year we have to tot-up all of our kilometers travelled to clients which is a real headache.
    I am really keen to get this automated somehow and would be very grateful for some help.
    Here are the details:
    We use the address book app as our client database which includes name, address and kilometers from our base.
    We have an accounting appcilation which lists all invoices by name, includes a date and I could also input the km in here if needed.
    I would like to create a spread sheet in numbers that will contain a list of all clients invoiced and the kms traveled to their place from our base.
    I can get the client list by getting our accounting software to output the data in CSV format, then input the data into numbers, however, I have a couple of queeries regarding the kms values and the import process ....
    (a) firstly, I used to use in excel a very useful function of importing text from text edit, where I was able to choose what delimited a field, spaces, commas, even just width, does this also exist in Numbers? I have looked with no you.
    (b) next the kms values, is there any automated way to match the client names in my excel sheet and pull in the kms values from the address book field?
    If not, they could be inputed into my accounting software each time I enter a record, it just means a bit more work for me on a daily basis.
    Many thanks in advance for your thoughts on this. I'm sure there is a clever way of getting round this somehow ....

    Numbers have no provision to communicate with other applications.
    With Numbers '09, we may fit the gap with AppleScript but there is no AppleScript support in Numbers '08.

  • Addresses and numbers disapp from address book

    Hi iPhoners,
    A strange thing has happened to my iPhone/Contacts. A couple of days ago it turned out that all contacts are still on my iPhone, but the information on addresses and numbers has disappeared.
    A side effect is that all calls and text messages are coming from 'numbers' now, and do not contain any names, let alone pictures
    Any solution?
    The weirdest part is that my Mac Address Book still has all the information, just like Mobile Me has it all.
    Thanks in advance,
    Carlo

    Hello Quintsys,
    Since you have confirmed that the data on MobileMe's webserver is valid, deleting the MobileMe account from the iPhone, re-adding it to the phone and re-enabling over-the-air syncing for Contacts should resolve the issue by allowing MobileMe to push a fresh copy of the contact data to the iPhone. Before attempting any additional troubleshooting, I would suggest backing up Address Book and iCal on your Mac beforehand.
    This article has additional information that may apply as well:

  • 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

  • When I drag and drop contact from Address book to Entourage, they disappear

    ...within 24 hours or so. This has happened with 3 contacts now.
    Any ideas where to begin?

    Are you dragging directly from one application and dropping into the other? What happens if you export to vcf card then import the vcf card with the other application?

  • Can't drag and drop from Address Book to Mail?

    Hi,
    I have always used Address Book to store my email contact information in SL. When I wanted to send an email, I would drag and drop from Address Book to the "To:" field in Mail and it would add the contact information to Mail. I upgraded to Lion, and now when I try this, the address icon moves like it should, the little green circle with the + in it appears when I hover over the field, but when I release it does not add the address to Mail. The drag and drop does not work at all, but it looks like it should. I have searched all around but have not found any information about this. Does anyone know what's up with this? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

    Are you dragging from the actual AddressBook application, or the Address icon you can add to the NewMail and Reply toolbars in Mail?  (It ought to be there by default, but isn't).
    Either should work, but if AB doesn't, try the icon method:

  • Problem printing labels and envelopes from Address Book

    I am very frustrated by the impossibility, when printing labels or envelopes from Address Book, of including both an individual name and a company name on the label or envelope. The Address book will only print one or the other. When sending correspondence to a person in a large company or building, the correspondence will not get to that person with only the company name or the individual name. It shocks me that in all these years I have been a Mac user, Apple has never noticed and fixed this fundamental problem. I would now like to buy an Ipod or an Ipad, but I am reluctant because I do not want to have to sync my addresses to Apple's juvenile address book. Is there any solution to this?

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard!
    Or check out the Mail & Address Book - Tiger Forums & ask if there is a work-a-round.

  • How to clear image in sender label to print envelopes from Address Book

    Hello!
    I had been printing envelopes for greeting cards using Address Book. I had always ignored the "Image" option under "Label" for the +sender's information+. Today I decided to explore this option and clicked on "Set". Then I chose a picture from my "Pictures" folder. It looks nice and I was able to change the picture several times, but now _I do not want any "image" in the sender's label_.
    *How do reset the "Image" to none?*
    Thank you in advance for your assistance!
    Osk Asks

    Hello captfred! Thank you for your reply. I tried to do what you suggested but it seems that it only works for cards in my contacts or for my own card. My problem is within the settings under label when I am printing from Address Book.
    This is how I have been doing it:
    1) Select a contact or a group of contacts
    2) Click on File on the top of the screen and then select Print
    3) A window pops up and there I can choose whether I want to print an envelope, a list, or mailing labels
    4) In that same window is where I clicked on "Image" and "Set"
    5) Finally I click on "Print" on the bottom right corner and I get neat envelopes with my address (sender) and the recipients (my contacts)
    I hope this helps you to help me!
    Thanks in advance!

  • Mail and addresses from Address Book

    When I type an e-mail address in the "To" field of a new message, Mail recovers the full name from Address Book and adds it to the e-mail address. Sometimes I don't want this to happen, instead I want to enter just the plain e-mail address. I know I can edit the address in the "To" field, but I have to enter some character(s) to override the default, otherwise if I just remove the name the system puts back the full name from Address Book. Is there a possibility to get just the e-mail address from Address Book but not the full name of that person? Sometimes I use nicknames, or mnemonic characters instead of real names and I don't want these to be seen by the recipient.

    I like the idea of Mail retrieving the email addresses from Address Book, but what I don't like is that it also retrieves "Last" and"First" names, and that it does not allow me to remove them from the "To" field when composing the message. Imagine that I have an entry in my Address Book such as "JOHN (THE FAT) DOE", Or "MARY (THE BLOND) DOE". Obviously, I do not want the recipients to know that I call them "the fat John", or "the blond Mary". Or, that I am sending a message to several people, and for confidentiality reasons I do not want them to know the names of the others. In other words, I want to retrieve email addresses from Address Book but NOT the real name of that person, or at least have the possibility to remove Last and First Names from the "To" field and show only the email address.
    Thanks, and regards.

  • Wrong Number is dialed from Address Book

    Hi all,
    i have the following problem on my BBerry pearl 8100:
    I have various international numbers saved in the Address Book and they all get dialed wrong (one zero is removed) from Address Book. For example: 003906505152 is the correct number, but dialing from Address Book will get 00396505152 dialed.
    Anyone has ideas? Basically I cannot use the Address Book for itnernational numbers because it is useless.
    Thanks a lot!

    Try setting your options at Call Log > Menu > Smart Dialing correctly. That is usually the source of most international dialing issues.
