  • Since i updated to snow leopard, address book no longer syncs to office 2011

    I use Office 2011's email program. With 10.5.8, when I entered a new contact into Apple Address Book, it synced with the address book in Office pretty immediately.
    Then I upgraded to Snow Leopard a few weeks ago. But I just noticed that when I add an address to Apple Address Book that it no longer syncs and loads into the Office contacts.
    (When I started using the new iCal, it was recommended that I uncheck the sync to Mobile Me. It's checked now, just not for Calendar.)
    Has anyone experienced this? If so, what did you do to solve?
    Thanks for your help.

    This is all a bit confusing.  Your signature says you have 10.4.7 installed.  You have indicated that you have upgraded to 10.6 (Snow Leopard).  Office 2004 is not compatible with Apple's latest OS (10.7 Lion).  If you have 10.6 installed, as you have indicated, it should work.
    What is the exact message you are getting? 

  • Exchange 2003 support dropped in Snow Leopard Address Book?

    It appears to me that the Exchange 2003 support that existed in Address Book in Leopard has vaporized in Snow Leopard. Is this true? I know the Mail/iCal stuff requires Exchange 2007, but the old Address Book worked great with Exchange 2003.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks

    unfortunately it looks that way!
    I had it working on Leopard, but I can not get it set up since I installed Snow Leopard (wipe and load)

  • Snow Leopard - Address Book didn't migrate. Help!

    My Address Book won't open now that I've installed OSX Snow Leopard. Can you help me fix?

    Just to close this off - turns out the Calendar Migration steps outlined in the Upgrading to Lion Server PDF also migrates the shared Address Books.

  • Bug in Snow Leopard Address Book

    Apple had an incredible feature in Leopard's Address Book which is now MISSING in Snow Leopard's Address Book. This must be a bug, since it seems unlikely that Apple would choose to remove this.
    Let's say you have 15 contacts named "Michael" in your Address Book, and you lookup one of them all the time in your Address Book.. that is your most frequently called "Michael".
    In Leopard's Address Book, it would REMEMBER the most recent contacts that you looked up for any search criteria, so as soon as you started typing "Michael", it would take you right to your most-recently-looked-up "Michael"!
    But in Snow Leopard, you are out of luck!
    Whenever you type in the name "Michael", Snow Leopard's Address Book ALWAYS takes you to the very first "Michael" card alphabeitcally, so you then have to MANUALLY choose the "Michael" you want to see.
    What used to be so convenient in Leopard is now much more of a hassle and a pain!

    Scott,
    This may not be changed in my experience, but Mail 4.x must likely relearn this -- at least this is how I am finding it to work with auto-complete. I seldom actually look up in AB, but just start typing, so I have not had a chance to establish any real frequency of lookup in AB. I expect it will work similarly, but then I have not used enough to confirm.

  • 10.6 Snow Leopard,  Address Book Server, 10.5 Clients needing access

    Hi,
    Setup Snow Leopard Server for a local not for profit that I donate some time to. All works great for their 10.6 Clients but (despite a fair bit of research) I cant find a way to get CARDDAV access to 10.5 PPC macs.
    Is there a way or app that will let this happen. ie OS X 10.5.8 PPC Client (all patched up) needing to see a shared address book on the server. It can even be read only...
    Been trolling through the options but it doesnt look promising... Hoping there is a real answer out there somewhere.

    Hi, thanks for the reference.. Had been there without much success.
    I am going to investigate a roundabout method... Using a shared address book read/write for the 10.6 clients and then syncing that with google. It would appear that 10.5 can sync via google.
    Kind of a strange way to go but its the only thing I can think of at present. A carddav client for 10.5 would be sweet...

  • Install Leopard on an External Drive on a Snow Leopard Mac Book Pro

    Hi
    I have a MBP 17/CTO 2.66GHz i7, which came installed with Snow Leopard.
    I've used boot camp to install Windows 7.
    I've attempted to install Leopard 10.5.4 on an external drive.
    The steps I've taken:
    1 - Connected my WD Passport on the Firewire Port
    2 - Partitioned the drive. The first partition is 100GB, Mac OS/X Extended (journal) and I've selected the GUID Partition Scheme
    3 - Inserted the Mac OS/X Leopard DVD, and followed the instructions to restart
    4 - On restart I have three options. Mac OS, Windows and Install Mac OS\X
    5 - I select Install Mac OS\X.
    6 - The disc spins for a few moments and then the laptop freezes
    Beware of the following issue:
    1 - On restart more often than not, the DISC will spin and then the laptop will freeze.
    2 - To overcome this, restarting pressing the ALT (option) Key.
    3 - You should see your boot options. If you do not see "Install Mac OS\X", then eject and reinsert the disc.
    The question maybe why would I want to have an Leopard Installation when I have Snow Leopard. The software I develop has thrown up a number of differences between Leopard and Snow Leopard, hence I need both OS's to support my software.
    I mentioned this to the Apple Store before I purchased my machine. They put me through to a senior technician at Apple Care, who told me it would be possible to have the set up I am after; and to contact Apple Care if I ran into any difficulties.
    After I received my laptop and ran into the problems I described above I contacted Apple Care, only to be told by a senior technician that it should be possible to install Leopard on an external drive, but Apple Care cannot provide any support or assistance.
    I really do like the laptop and would much rather not return the laptop; but I really do need the setup described.
    Anyway I have tried a number of different approaches:
    1 - Having no partitions (so just the single partition)
    2 - Trying all three Partition Schemes:
    - GUILD Partition Table
    - Apple Partition Map
    - Master Boot Record
    All resulting in the same problem.
    I can confirm the external drive does appear as bootable in disc info.
    My guess is one of the following is preventing the install:
    1 - It is simply not possible to install an earlier version of Mac OS\X than 10.6 on the laptop I have, even if I tried to install on an external drive. This restriction is built into some hardware confirguration. So even if I wiped the internal hard drive or added a new partition to the internal hard drive, I would not be able to install 10.5.4. I say this may be a reason as the second technician told me the CPU has built into it a process which prevents installing older versions of Mac OS/X, but that it should NOT restrict installation on an external harddrive.
    2 - When trying to install Mac OS/X, a search is carried out for an external drive which has the correct format. For some reason it may be that this search is not finding my external drive?
    I'm a little stuck here and quite disapointed that the support promised by Apple Care for assistance in setting this up, is now not forth coming.
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, as ideally I would prefer to keep and not return the laptop, it's a beautiful piece of machinery.
    Cheers
    Parmy

    The mystery continues...
    I have an older MBP (2.33 GHz Intel Core Duo) which came installed with Tiger. I can confirm I purchased a genuine copy of Leopard (10.5.4) from the Apple Store and it’s not an OEM version. I installed 10.5.4 without a hitch on my old MBP internal drive. It is the only OS installed on my old MBP.
    Using my older MBP (which through software updates is now running 10.5.7), I managed to install 10.5.4 onto my external HD (WD My Passport Studio – 640GB FireWire 800).
    However; on the final restart, the screen remained grey and 10.5.4 did not boot from the external drive.
    I restarted the machine holding down the ALT (option) key, and only two options appeared, Macintosh HD and the Install DVD. I selected the Macintosh HD and opened System Preferences.
    In System Preferences --> Startup Disk, I discovered the partition on my external HD which contains 10.5.4. I selected this partition and selected restart.
    On restart my MBP displayed a grey screen, and the blue light on my hard drive flashed slowly. I left this for an hour, however; the OS did not start and the screen remained grey.
    I then plugged my external HD into my new MBP which I started holding down the ALT key.
    To my surprise I found 3 boot options (Macintosh HD, Windows and Leopard). Leopard being the partition on my external drive, which now has 10.5.4 installed.
    I selected Leopard, but sadly after 30 minutes, the OS failed to boot.
    Although this deviates slightly from this post, I fail to understand the problem here:
    1 – Why can’t I boot 10.5.4 on an external drive, from my old MBP? Surely this is not because my old MBP is now running 10.5.7?
    2 – Why can I see 10.5.4 as a boot option on my new MBP but not on my old MBP when I start the MBP holding down the ALT key?
    I doubt there is a problem with my external drive, as it seems to read, write, etc... in all normal cases.
    Whilst it definitely appears that I won’t be able to boot 10.5.4 on an external drive from my new MBP, I should be able to at least boot it from my old MBP, which would give me the option of installing Snow Leopard and Windows on the internal drive of my old MBP.
    Apologies for keeping this post going, but I hope by getting to the bottom of this, it will help other Mac users as well.
    I’ve run out of ideas of things to try, so I will give Apple Care another call in the morning, and will report back.
    Any suggestions of other things I can try?
    Cheers

  • Snow leopard / address book

    Snowleopard installation resulted in duplicte folders in address book.

    Hello:
    I do not understand what you mean.
    Where are the "duplicate folders?"
    Incidentally, I seriously doubt if installation of OS X 10.6 created your problem.

  • Snow Leopard's Address Book now Requires Full Name to find a Contact

    In all previous versions of Address Book, the user could simply type 'T' to instantly go to contacts with last names that start with 'T' (and businesses that start with 'T').
    In Snow Leopard, Address Book can no longer search with one letter the way it did before; it uses a 'Spotlight' type of search where the user must type the full name in order to get an exact match. This type of searching is useful for finding documents on the Mac or searching the Internet, but is totally inefficient for finding contacts in Address Book.
    It sounds like someone at Apple decided this was a better way to search for contacts, because this change in search method is described in the new Address Book 'Help' file; it says, "As you type, Address Book begins to search all the information on the cards, including notes, and displays matching contacts, with the matching text highlighted in each card." For example, let's say someone used to type 'T' to search for a contact named Bill Tilman. Now what happens is that Address Book stops at the first person who's first name starts with 'T', and highlights all the T's in the person's card (the T in 'telephone', the T in 'Street', etc. The user must now scroll through all their contacts manually to find Bill Tilman, or else manually type out the complete name 'Bill Tilman'. (If they just type 'Bill', they will only get the first person named Bill.)
    I hope Apple will reconsider and will allow Address Book to do the quick one-letter searches by last name (as opposed to 'Sort' by last name, which it still has) like it used to. (Or at least make this a choice in Address Book Preferences.) This would also be more compatible with the way iPhone searches for contacts; when you select a letter in the iPhone's contacts, it finds contacts who's last name starts with that letter, as well as businesses, just like Address Book always used to.

    Thanks for your response Ernie. You are correct in that whenever you type a series of letters, Address Book (as it always has) finds every single thing with that combination of letters - Names, businesses, adjectives, people's dogs' names, letters in product serial numbers, etc. This is useful for finding a subject on the Web, or finding all documents related to 'iPhoto' on your Mac, etc., but not useful, quick or convenient when trying to find one person to call in your Address Book (which is what people use Address Book for).
    What is DIFFERENT in the Snow Leopard version, is that the ability to type one letter to instantly go to last names with that letter has been removed. Previously, you could easily find 'Bill Tilman' in one second by simply typing 'T'. Now you get every word that starts with T and all the words in the card that have a T in them. If you type out a full name like 'Bill', it finds every person named Bill. No one would ever want to find all their contacts named Bill to call them. You could type out the full last name 'Tilman', but there again you are forced to type out a complete name to do a search. It would actually be quicker to scroll down and find it manually. The ability to type a single letter to find the last name (or business name) of a contact you needed to call, was much quicker and easier than having to type out the entire name.

  • Reverting back to Leopard from Snow Leopard.

    I am very disappointed, upset and tired of finding problems with Snow Leopard after installing it on my Mac Pro Quad Xeon and will NOT install it on my 17" MacBook Pro. These are just some of the things screwed up since updating to Snow Leopard:
    ADDRESS BOOK - lost phone numbers.
    MAIL - Signatures have changed fonts. Copy and paste doesn't work in Signatures. Unread messages are not displayed in bold as checked. Changed shortcut to delete items in Trash.
    FINDER - ScreenGrabs show drop-shadows of dialog boxes as black.
    iCAL- can't edit title of events!
    SYSTEM PREFERENCES - Security doesn't Load and crashes when I click on it a second time.
    CALCULATOR 4.2 - Does not work!!!!! Says that version in incompatible!! WHY DIDN'T IT GET UPDATED!!!!
    PRINTING - Can not print anything.
    Can I revert back to Mac OS X 10.5, plain ole regular Leopard?

    You cannot an install any system earlier than the system your Mac shipped with. If that was 10.6, fine.
    But the problem isn't SL millions are using it with no issues at all. In other words, your problems are not SL related.
    What often happens is there is some minor corruption that goes unnoticed until an upgrade and the upgrade exacerbates it.
    Take the time to do some troubleshooting...
    Create a new User go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the apps in this new account, if they work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide.
    If the issue is limited to your user account try starting up Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
    If your apps functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
    Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
    If the issue is systemwide then, you may be able to repair this with the The 10.6.2 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
    Let us know.

  • Lion versus Snow Leopard, a new MAC Book Pro series coming?

    My son is looking for a new laptop. He would opt for function over portability. Therefore larger MAC Book Pro makes sense but seems as if MAC Book Air has newer operating system so concern is life.

    A MacBook Pro is more likely to support more games.
    A MacBook Air is more portable.  An addon Apple Thunderbolt display gives almost all the same ports as a Pro, but then it loses its portability.
    A MacBook Pro has more connections for digital cameras, and the 17" version also supports faster hard drives via its Express/34 port which can have external SATA added.  The 17" version though only fits on the tray tables of 737/700 and larger tray tables of airlines.  The Pro has a built-in optical drive, where the Air does not. The Air is 2 pounds lighter than the Pro.  On the other hand being more portable, it is easier to get stolen. I would consider Lapcop or Lojack for notebooks if one gets a notebook.  The new operating system as my FAQ* explains still has numerous applications which need upgrading:
    http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html#LION
    You can through http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate get the new operating system later if you get a qualifying Mac.  That would give you a chance to upgrade when you desire, and still migrate any data to newer applications when you need to.  The real question is, what sort of compatibility is needed?
    As for your subject line, Apple does not pre-announce hardware updates except on rare occasions, and we can't speculate as to when they might release a new one.  Watch http://www.apple.com/pr/
    Once they do, it likely won't work with Snow Leopard.

  • WD My Book 1TB and Snow Leopard

    I've installed Snow Leopard on two Macbooks, and now neither one of them can read my WD My Book 1TB External Drive. It says "Invalid index key", and disk utility tries to rebuild the "catalog B-tree" but fails. The drive is 3 months old at most. It will show up in Disk Utility, but it won't mount so that you can see data.
    HELP!
    Suggestions are most welcome. I have 500gb of data on this puppy that I really really really don't want to lose...

    Hello.
    I've installed Snow Leopard on my brand new Macbook Pro, and I had EXACTLY the same problem, not on one, but on TWO of my external Hard drives! One of them several years old connecting in IDE, the other one only a few days old, connecting in SATA! Both of them are Seagate's 500GBs.
    I'm running a data recovery software right now, and it's working this back, but since it happened on two completely different disks in such a short period of time (less than a week), and since it looks like other people are having the same problem, I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't a deeper problem in the way Snow Leopard is handling the external Hard Drives...
    I'm now pretty scared to connect my others Hard Drives to this computer, cause I don't want it to turn them all down! Maybe I'm just cursed, but the coincidence would be really big!
    Are there other people experiencing the same problem? I'm wondering if there aren't others who didn't bother speaking in here, because blaming the hard drive would look like the most logical thing to do, like you just did in this thread, so most people wouldn't think of anything but bad luck for that...
    And are there any way to check if there are more occurrences of this specific problem under Snow Leopard, or to check directly if there isn't a problem in the way Snow Leopard deals with external Hard Drives?
    I'm looking forward for a third hard drive to fail. I'll tell you if this happens.
    Cadwallader.
    PS : The oldest of the two Hard Drives worked as external under Tiger for three year, never had a problem...

  • I upgraded to Snow Leopard, made a change to Address Book that I need to correct, tried to use Time Machine to find the prior version and it keeps pulling up the later ones info. How do I use Time Machine to restore Address Book from a few hours ago?

    This morning, I upgraded to Snow Leopard from v10.5.8. Then, I exported 11 contacts from our old Now Contact database, intending to import that info into Address Book. It was an experiment, as we have 1199 contacts in 20+ categories and want to eventually get them into Bento from Address Book. The export automatically created a file called Export.vcf on the desktop, after I highlighted the 11 contacts. I tried to look at the info, but when clicked it opens Address Book, which then simply asked if I wanted to import the 11 contacts to it. I clicked yes. Then in checking Address Book 7, not 11 contacts appeared. I clicked on "All Contacts" and there were 1630. We only have 1199, so where did the extra 400+ come from? Since I had already clicked twice on the Address Book window, I couldn't undo the import. So I thought 'Ok, I'll trash Address Book and go to Time Machine, find Address Book, go to right after the upgrade to SL, hit Restore and bingo. Nope. I keep getting the post-import info, not pre. Con someone direct me to a solution? I want to get rid of the import contacts plus the extra 300 or so ( I already had a hundred or so in several categories)? Then, I need to figure out (1) why ALL the old records were exported from Now Contact, (2) where they were hiding in that .vcf file when Address Book recognized that I only wanted to export 11, (3) why Address Book showed only 7 imports in the "Last Import" group, but showed ALL my contacts in the "All Contact" group, even though they should nearly all have been safely untouched in the Now Contact DBase file. PS, I am not especially computer savvy. Thanks for any enlightenment.

  • Setting up Snow Leopard Server with Address Book, iCal for Small Business

    Hello Folks,
    I have a small business with 2-3 people and I want to setup Snow Leopard Server on a Mac Mini. I have everything in place, RAID, Backup drive etc.
    What I need is a guide on how to setup the server correctly and how to setup Address Book Server, iCal Server, DNS, etc. I was in IT a long while back but have gone back to my creative roots and sworn off IT but I am in a situation where my IT guy's wife is pregnant so he is busy painting the baby's room, etc.
    I was looking at Snow Leopard Server for Dummies and a few other books. Do you guys have any suggestions on resources for me to read or research that would give me very straightforward steps in getting this setup. I am at a point where I can re-install from scratch if needed.
    For the ease of those that might respond let's assume I know my way around Mac and general networking as a whole.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.
    Cheers,
    Jason

    Hi Guys,
    First of, I will give you a brief background on me regarding networking as a mac user since 1994. I can setup and network multiple macs without a server in our home and small office. Turning file, print and internet sharing with a regular Mac OS X client version at no problem at all. This would be my first time setting up a Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server.
    I'm in the same boat as Jakekub but we do not have a static IP from our DSL provider. We just bought a Mac Mini Server for our small office with 3 iMacs and 1 MacBook. We will just use the server for internal usage and to centralized things out and use some of server's features like Address Book, Mail, iCal etc. I've search the forums and found Orhidy's post here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2148553
    I even followed the sample IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS Server and I think I had it correctly setup initially. And I think I got it all running on the basic setup base on his instructions. So I tried to test my DNS settings via Terminal > hostname then got answer as
    servername.companyname.private
    And double checking DNS again with a command: sudo changeip - checkhostname and was given an answer of:
    Primary address = 192.168.1.192
    Current Hostname = servername.companyname.private
    DNS Hostname = servername.companyname.private
    The names match. There is nothing to change
    dirserv:success = "success"
    But here's another one that bugs me. I tried to follow from "Mac OS X Snow Leopard for Dummies" the command line:
    NSLOOKUP hostname
    and got an answer of:
    ;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 192.168.1.192, trying next server
    Server: 192.168.1.1
    Address: 192.168.1.1#53
    ** server can't find hostname: NXDOMAIN
    So does it mean that I still haven't configured my server properly?
    Thank you all for the help in advance!
