Eliminate duplicate names when syncing with a car address book

have i phone 4 and car with bluetooth; car syncs address books through bluetooth; iphone contacts are in smart groups so a name may appear in more than one group; resuts in duplicates in car phone directory; how eliminate

everything works fine when syncing through itunes because i can select which smart groups to sync with iphone, which in turn syncs with my BMW address book. however, with the introduciton of i cloud, i have not seen anything that says we will still be able to use smart groups in the same fashion. without designating sync with specific cmart groups, fear is that all contacts will be updated via the cloud, which will lead to all contacts, including duplicate contacts, appearing on iphone [and not just the ones from the smart groups], which in turn will lead to duplciate names in BMW address book

Anyone else haveing a problem with appointments not syncing, duplicate appointments when syncing with Outlook? Noticed the problem a couple of days ago.
Also, noticed that my primary SMTP disappeared, and I had to re-establish to send e-mail.
Apple tech support was worthless on both issues.

Hi I am also in the UK, but not with Tiscali and am having the exact same problems. I can also send with wifi, but not 3G. I have tried amending all sorts of settings, including those above and amending the smtp server to the settings for my provider, but all to no avail.
It is thoroughly frustrating, as I cannot send emails unless I have wifi access.
Any further suggestions would be very welcome.

Desktop Sync Error on Local Sync with Lotus Notes Address Book

Blackberry Desktop Manager - Ver 4.2.0.14
Lotus Notes - Ver 7.0 HF227
Blackberry Smartphone - Pearl 8100
Hi All,
I am a new Blackburry and Forum user and I have a Sync issue.
When I sync my Local Lotus Notes Address book, its stops part way through the sync saying "Unable to write application data record." and will not continue. I believe there is a record in my Address Book that has an error that the software cannot deal with, but as the records are not synced in alphabetical order I cannot work out which record is at fault.
Here is a copy of the last part of the Log file.

Has anyone encounteretd this problem and if so how did you diagnose which record is at fault?
any help greatfully received.

pc suite only allows sync to local pc, not server. think that it has something to do with memory...
the steps are quite straight forward though. just go to pc suite sync, click settings, then new config/ settings & follow the the steps...

ICloud contacts not syncing with my Mac address book

When I log into iCloud and enter a new contact or edit a contact, the new contact info does not get transferred to my Mac Contacts, and I have the iCloud account enabled in Contact prreferences.
My wife and I have found similar problems with the Calendar.
Is there something that I am doing incorrectly or is this just a reliability problem with using iCloud?
Note: I have been using gmail/Google to manage my mail, contacts, and calendar, and don't have a problem keeping this properly synced with my MBA and iOS devices.
I am asking the question above, since I thought it would be nice to consolidate contacts and calendar events to one platform, but it needs to be a reliable platform.
OSX 10.8.2
MBA, mid-2011

For photo stream, if the source of the photos is an iOS device, be sure the photo app used to take the picture has been turned off, not just sleeping.
Have you rebooted the computer? The router?

Video ipod not syncing with ical and address book

In iTunes preferences, under the tab for both calendar and contacts, when I attempt to check the "synchronize Address Book contacts", I get a window that says: No Contacts Available contact syncing cannot be enabled because there are no contacts available. Do you want to open Address Book and create contacts now? If I choose open address book, it opens my address book which has 564 contacts in it. The same thing is happening with ical.

Weel, I finally discovered what the problem was. It seems to have occurred a mistake while syncing two computers with .mac. Apparently, instead of reinitializing all informations from one of them, they were simply erased and, while on one of the computers my calendars did appear (the one I was syncing the iPod, too), they were a sort of 'ghost' images. So I had to reinitialize again, and then tried to sync the iPod. Now the calendars are displayed correctly on both, and the sync preferences on iTunes are correct, too. Hope this can help somebody.

Any recommendations on productivity for database and project management, Bento was good but no longer sync with ical and address book

I've unfortunately updated to the new Bento on MakBook and iPad and synced my data and in the process it tells me that iCal and Address books will not sync any more. I have several projects I am working on and looking for something that will syn with iCal, address book and Busy Cal to manage my time efficiently and seamlessly. Help?

I think you're in the wrong forum - this is for developers, who write programs for apple products.
As for Bento, their problem is due to Apple's changes in the API. The code that syncs with calendars and contacts is now deprecated, which means at some point in the future, it will no longer work. This problem will affect all developers, so you probably won't find any replacement for Bento.

Bb not syncing with outlook express address book

From the desktop manager, it seems to sync fine, no error messages. But nothing new is appearing on the address book in Outlook Express. Shouldn't the phone numbers and etc. copy into the outlook contact list as well? HELP!
Solved!

Hi and welcome to the forums!
When you setup the options for synchorizing between the PC and the BB did you select two way?

No option to sync with google in address book

Hi there, in address book > preferences > general I don't seem to have an option to sync with google. I do however have the option to sync with mobile me, exchange, and yahoo.
Does anyone know why this may be. In address book help > sync it certainly seems to be an option.
Thanks

I googled it up and found the instructions to enable google Address Book sync:

How can I make my Outlook sync with ical and address book on more than one mac?

It currently syncs with my iMac through 'this computer' folder, but i dont have outlook on my macbook, so basically... how can i make my outlook automatically convert/sync to icloud enabled folders?
Not too confusing i hope.

Outlook won't work with iCloud. On your Mac.

Duplicate Meetings when Syncing with Outlook

Outlook meeting sometimes (but not always) end up being duplicated in my desktop Outlook after I synchronize using Blackberry Desktop Manager. If I could avoid this duplication, I would like to keep wireless calendar from my work Outlook but I am wondering whether I can solve this problem by turning off wireless calendar synchonization and use only Blackberry Desktop Manager to keep my Blackberry calendar. How do I avoid these duplicate meetings on my desktop Outlook calendar?

My problem with duplicate meetings is not restricted to recurring meetings. I am wondering whether the problem is related to the fact that my Blackberry is receiving a meeting by email and putting it on the Blackberry calendar. The desktop is also receiving the same Outlook meeting request and putting it on the desktop Outlook calendar. As a result, the syncing process sees one meeting on the Blackberry and a "different" meeting on the desktop and places the Blackberry meeting on the desktop, resulting in duplicate meetings in Outlook.
A non-elegant solution would be to prevent emailing meeting requests to the Blackberry calendar but I do not know how to do this. I seem to remember when I setup my Blackberry, telling to to send meeting requests to my Blackberry but I now cannot find anything to discontinue sending the meeting requests. It would be nicer if the synchronization process recognized that the Blackberry meeting and the Outlook meeting are actually the same meeting.
Another way to say what I suspect is happening is that I am using both email calendar synchronization AND Blackberry Desktop Manager synchronization, resulting in duplication. Does that make sense?
I am using Outlook 2003, Blackberry 8330 and Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.5.0.15

Duplicate Playlists when syncing with Media Go

Having a minor, albeit annoying, issue with Media Go. Pretty much every time I sync it with my phone, instead of just updating the playlists it created duplicates of the playlists so I end up with "R&B" and "R&B(2)" for instance. I have about 25 playlists and it really bugs me that after every sync it turns into 50 and I then end up having to manually delete the duplicates from File Explorer.
Anyone else encountered this issue or have ideas how to prevent it?

What if you try this

Option to sync yahoo contacts in address books is gone?

I used to have my mac address book sync with my yahoo address book - but it appears the option is now gone. In my address book preferences, when I select "on my mac" the only option is to sync with google. Does anyone know if this feature is now gone - or how to get my yahoo contacts to sync with my address book again?

You're correct, Yahoo sync has been removed.
If Yahoo supports CardDav then you can access the Contacts using that protocol instead, check with Yahoo.
