Entourage Address Book - change views

I want to change the "view" on the Entourage Address Book so I can see each address as a card without having to click through so many screens. Can any one help??

Since Entourage is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

My MacBook Pro will not sync address book changes with my IPhone. Why? It used to.

Then you may have to try manually resetting the syncservices folder by following Julian Write's post (from https://discussions.apple.com/message/9274781#9274781):
Ok, as you can't reset SyncServices in the "normal" way, you'll have to resort to the "other" way:
Although it's not advised to do so in normal circumstances, you'll need to manually delete the SyncServices folder.
Before doing so, you MUST make a backup of both your Contacts and Calendars:
In Address Book, choose *Export > Address Book Archive...* from the File menu.
In iCal, choose *Back up iCal...* from the File menu.
Then, make a backup of the SyncServices folder located at:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
By backing everything up first, you don't risk losing anything.
Finally delete the aforementioned SyncServices folder and restart the Mac. This will force Mac OS X to recreate the SyncServices folder, and hopefully fix your problem.
I believe in Snow Leopard you can back up your calendar in File>Export>iCal Archive rather than File>Back up iCal as posted above.

Syncing selectively with entourage, address book and iPhone... geesh

Hi All,
This may all sound funky, but here is where I find myself.
I have thousands of contacts that I send stuff to monthly. I use pages to create the material I send. All of these contacts live in Address Book. They are the only contacts in Address Book - specifically because I can only merge contacts that are in Address Book with Pages (which blows, but is a whole other issue).
I use entourage for all my "real" contacts. Folks I contact every day, associates, family, etc.
Enter, my iPhone. Now I want to sync all my "Real" contacts (from entourage) with my iPhone. I just want my iPhone to sync with entourage, not all those contacts that live in my Address Book. Now I realize I can selectively sync just certain groups in the Address Book with the iphone, however, if I sync entourage and the address book, all those thousands of contacts really slow down entourage and even filtering them out can be a waiting game.
So, in a perfect world, I would be able to sync my iPhone directly with entourage. Or, in a slightly less perfect but still happy world, I would be able to sync entourage with the Address Book, but selectively keep all those thousands of contacts in the address book from syncing with entourage.
Does anyone see a way out of this?

I am looking for an answer to a similar question. I use iCal and Address Book for family and personal calendars and contacts; I use Entourage for business calendars and contacts. I was successfully using Entourage 2004 to sync calendar events and contacts between my Mac and my Treo 650. I have now upgraded to Entourage 2008, which abandoned the direct sync conduit to the Treo. I am now forced to sync via iCal and Address Book. Which means that I seem to have a choice between (1) no longer syncing data between my Treo and my Mac or (2) accepting that all my Address Book data will land up in Entourage where I don't want it to be. (I can selectively choose which iCal calendars
Does anybody know of a solution for this? From reading through the forums, it appears that this problem is not specific to the Treo or Palm OS, but affects any type of sync between Entourage and a wireless device.

How do I restore Snow Leopard to access LOCAL entourage address book files?

Hi,
So in a fit of happiness I decided to upgrade to Lion today. Big mistake. I now realize that my entourage email does not work (Yes, I realize that mail now supports exchange accounts that's fantastic moving forward but...)
I have two email address groups set up in my old entourage which I desperately need for work. I guess they were "local" in my address books on my computer. SO here's my problem: how do I restore to snow leopard so I can use my time machine backup but still keep what was "local" on my mac?
I guess my basic question is does my time machine have EVERYTHING that was on my hard drive? I don't want to get rid of Lion, re-install Snow Leopard and then realize the exact two address book groups on my local computer no longer exist.
How do I re-install Snow Leopard and then restore my entire system?
What a waste of time my entire day was today. FML.
Thank you for your time & help.
Michelle.

If installing Lion did this, then it's pure coincidence, as an install of Lion does not affect the files and settings of third party apps. Your Entourage database is stored in ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/ Entourage Identities
I suggest you post your qeustion on Microsoft's own forums for Entourage: http://www.officeformac.com/productforums

How do I setup Address Book to view shared contacts on Exchange Server 2010?

At work we have MS Exchange Server 2010. I recently switched from Entourage to native OSX Lion apps Mail, iCal and Address Book. Mail and iCal work fine so far with Exchange (IE. I can add delegates, see their calendars, etc.) but when using Address Book, I can only see my contacts. In Entourage I was able to search other user's contacts and copy them to mine if I desired. Is this not possible with Address Book?

Are you sure you did that right ... because I did a File/Backup Address Book, and the file named included the date. I then copied the file through our Airport network from the Powerbook to a new iMac. The opening Address Book on the iMac, I did a File/Revert to Address Book Backup, which allows you to choose the file. Now the iMac had the same Address Book file as the Powerbook. This looks to me to be the same thing you are trying to do.

Backing up Entourage address book

I have Entourage 2004. How do I (in easy easy terms please) back up my address book? Can I back it up to a folder on my desktop? Should I back it up elsewhere? Once I back it up, is it easily restored if I have a problem?

File -> Export -> Contacts to a list

Address Book - Changing the address format?

A couple of years ago I imported all my old contacts into address book. I've now discovered that I had the address format set to USA in preferences and I'm a UK user. I've since changed the preference to UK but it this only affects new addresses that I add.
Is there a way to change those old addresses to UK format? I've tried exporting a V card and re-importing but it doesn't change.
TIA, Steve

Hi Steve, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I'd take a look at Barney-15E's Script here for converting to gb/uk...

Contacts app, print Address Book, change the font

Am trying to print my Contacts list in the Address Book layout. It displays as 2 columns when it is just name, phone and email. When I select Address, there is too much info for 2 columns and it displays as 1 column. I would like to change to a smaller font size so I can have the 2 columns.

Never seen or heard of it.
Try deleting the iCal plist and container. The first in user/Library/Preferences. Second in user/Library/Containers.

Address book directories view not acessible

Hi
I'm having a problem with address book. In the 'view' pane, I can only access two of the three possibillities: "Card" and "columns". "Directories" is in grey and I cannot click on it. I want to see the directories view, so I can see a list of addresses or telephonenumber, ordered by name.
what am I doing wrong?

"Directories" is for use with a network shared directory service system such as Microsoft Exchange or LDAP. Are you on such a system? If not, and your Address Book is only standalone and local to your computer, that view will not be valid for you.

Address Book-changing sync method?

When I sync'd for the first time, I was asked how I wanted to do it, "merge, erase, etc." Now I need to change from one to another. How do I do that?

Actually, the app is not Address Book, it is Contacts. On the Mac, it is Address Book.

Can't delete email AND address book changes randomly

As of yesterday I can highlight an email, hit delete but it doesn't go to the trash. I'll check my 2nd account, go back to the first account and all deleted messages are there. Plus, it will run continuously. Currently it says it is sorting. NEVER had this problem before and need help.
Secondly, my address book will randomly change the card names. I can go in, correct, save, close and the next time I open the address book some of them will be different. For instance one card is titled "Lexington". It has changed to "Lexington Lexington" several times or it will pick up the name of the last person in Lexington and show up as "Lexington Lastinger"

What sort of email account is this, POP or IMAP? What version of Mac OS X are you running; your profile says 10.3, but if that's true, then you're way behind the times and in the wrong forum. We need accurate information in your profile, so you need to update that.
Secondly, my address book will randomly change the card names.
No, this is not random. Mail and Address Book communicate, so when you receive an email from someone in your Address Book, if the name doesn't match the email address for that card, it is updated with the name in the email address.

Address Book, change default date field?

I have added a date field to address book. I use it to set a creation date for a contact. Currently, the default content for this field is 12/31/2000.
Does anyone know a way to change this? I’d like the field year to be the current year.

Hi Adnan,
I am fairly sure that you cannot access or change the behaviour of the date/time field to that extent. You can script the field to have a particular value or to be a constant from the date selected; but you cannot define the default value.
Happy holidays,

Gconsync drops postal addresses with big Address Book changes?

After many years of procrastinating, I've thrown a lot of contacts into my Address Book just in time to send Christmas cards. I've configured Address Book to talk with Gmail, which causes gconsync to run once an hour.
I've observed that when I do large amounts of changes in Address Book, like a dozen or so in an hour, the postal addresses of random contacts get lost at the Google end. Once this happens, efforts to fix the contacts one-by-one seem pointless. I have to save/export my Mac Address Book, delete contacts at both ends, then reload from my backup to make things right.
Anyone else seen this behavior?

Finally fixed it. I am quite sure one of your address books is messed up. To fix it:
1. Figure out which address book is messed up. I have three, iPhone, iPad, iMac. Shut off iCloud on one of them and try address book updates on the other two. When the problem disappears, you will know which address book is messed up.
2. Next fix the address book on the errant device. I did it by restoring, WITHOUT using a backup. Can't use a backup because the same error will be there. This is a pain because you need to reorganize your aps, logins etc. So, you might want to try shutting off iCloud and removing the address book from the device. Then turn iCloud back on. It will load a new address book. I don't know if this will fix the problem. Might be hidden files that have the problem.
3. This, by the way, also caused a huge power drain for me. You can tell if you have the same problem by opening address book and checking if it is continually trying to sync.

ITunes Fails to See Address Book Changes

Recently (suddenly), ITunes has stopped reflecting changes made to my Address Book. No changes made on my Macintosh are downloaded to my iPhone and no new groups added to the Address Book on the Mac are listed in the Contacts area in ITunes. This problem persists if I delete everything in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ and reimport an archived version of the current data.
Is there a file somewhere that iTunes looks at to determine the current contents of the Address Book? It clearly doesn't look directly at the Address Book data (unless there's a serious iTunes bug).

That has no effect.

Address Book changing fields on duplicate contacts ?

My Address Book is duplicating contacts, BUT mixing the fields.
Original contac: last-name = "Rosales A", first-name = "Eduardo". No middle-name used.
I get a second contact with: last-name = "A", first-name = "Eduardo". No middle-name apears.
Then yet another with: last-name = "A", middle-name = "Eduardo" and first-name = "Rosales".
Forget about physical addresses that will by magic put a "country" when there was none defined.
Forget also that it (Address Book) is adding pictures to contacts, I don't want to, some correct (when asked to some friends) but some incorrect (a friends photo on a Company contact with no relation).
I'm aware of using iCloud and "on My Mac", will duplicate info, this is already taken care of.
It all started when I was using and syncing ONE MacBook and ONE iPhone. By magic, I did not change anything.
Now I'm using iCloud, Lion on the MacBook, iOS 5.0 on the iPhone-4 and the iPad-2.
Now, if I delete one instance of a contact, say on the iPhone, it will disapeare on the MacBook.
BUT tomorrow, during a "sync over the air", again the "A" last-name will show up.
Best regards,
Eduardo Rosales.

If you are going to reactivate synchronization, then do this first:
• launch iSync
• open the Preferences… dialog
• press the Reset Sync History… button
This will leave your sync clients registered and your data intact, but remove any indication that you have ever synchronized before, clearing the truth database and triggering an initial slow synchronization once you re-enable to process and initiate your next event.
