Frequent Contacts Address book Properties Questions

On the options tag, there is the check box to delete addresses not
referenced within the time period.
Could you explain what "not referenced" means?
Thanks,

Contact / address book duplicates

WHile led I see lots of suggestions how to fix Contact / address book duplicates - I don't know what causes them.
I only have 1 mail account - exchange. What am I doing wrong to see duplicates constantly being created?
thanks. Be gentle!

Hi, have a similar but bigger problem. card --> Look for duplicates does not solve it.
from original 2000 adresses I now have 550,000 many of them massive duplicates. Causes MASSIVE time waste and delays.
Event correlates with me installing Outlook for Mac2011 sync programme.
now want to just delete address book and sync again and stay with Mac Address/Cal and disconnect from Microsoft.
question: can I simply delete address book in Finder? what happens when I go back into it? does it get newly created?
any other suggestion how to tackle?
thanks for desperate help

How to sync Google Apps contacts from ALL groups to Mac OS X Contacts/Address Book

I have some 4,000 contacts in my Google Apps account. I used to store all of them in Google's "My Contacts" category, but my iOS devices had huge performance issues searching through 4,000 contacts as I typed a name or phone number on the device. So I trimmed it down and only keep the 200 or so most often used contacts in the "My Contacts" folder. This works because iOS devices are only able to sync that one category of contacts.
However, I now want to sync my Google Apps contacts with Mac OS X Contacts/Address Book. I'd like it to sync ALL of the contacts, not just those 200 in "My Contacts".
Is this possible? I'm using Mountain Lion and Google Apps Premier.
I used to be able to achieve this using SpanningSync. But as of a couple weeks ago, SpanningSync has been permanently discontinued due to architectural changes with the sync engine in Mac OS X. I'm not aware of any other contacts synching tools that could do it.
I know that Address Book/Contacts won't be able to show my Google Apps categories--just a single long list of everyone. That's totally fine by me, as long as I can get all contacts in the Mac OS X application and only the My Contacts group on my iPhone and iPad.
Any and all guidance would be VERY much appreciated.

Unfortunately no, not at all. I've tried these boards which were obviously fruitless on this question. I've tried the Genius Bar. And I've tried other technical resources. I do not believe it's possible at this point.
"Little stuff" like this.... it's seemingly relatively trivial in the grand scheme of things, but can be real productivity killers when I have to go back and forth between Apple's Contacts software and the actual Google Apps/Gmail web UI. It's these little things that create quirks between Google Apps and Mac OS that almost make me want to return to Exchange. It's much more expensive and other than Outlook and Calendar/Mail/Contacts, there's no virtually no interoperability options on the Mac. But at least it's consistent and I know what will work and what won't.
On the other hand, I could also solve this problem by simply putting ALL of my contacts in my Google Apps account into the "My Contacts" folder. But that kinda defeats the purpose of having a "My Contacts" folder.
Sorry Steven--I wish I had a better update or a resource to point you to, but I'm at the end of the road on this one.

Google Contact / Address Book Sync

Google Contact / Address Book Sync is not working for me and I have an iPhone and Leopard, which I thought were the only requirements. I was able to sync my Address Book contacts to Google the first time around, but when I add a new contact to either Google or Address Book, one does not sync to another. Am I missing a piece of software here or is there something I need to do?
I am thinking that possibly this could be because the sync takes a long time and is not instantaneous?

I have achieved a sync but I can't identify what isn't working with mine - I can change some data but not all email/addresses are there in Address Book... which is weird.
I'll try a google forum and see if I can get help and reply.

Lost contact address book in macbook pro

Have any body lost their contact address book in macbook pro

I have yet to find a cause.

How to delete a contact from contacts/address book?

I have a contact I want to erase from my desktop Mac contacts/address book in OS X Mavericks but I cannot figure out how. I see no delete button. This contact is not on my iPhone (with iOS 7) and it's not shown at all if i log into icloud.com and check out my address book. It's messing up all my programs dependent on the contacts/address book.
THanks.

Looks like I have more problems than just that. There are TWO icloud accounts showing in contacts preferences even though I only have ONE. I cannot remove one of them. It says I should remove it from internet accounts. Internet accounts only has ONE icloud account.
Is Apple's software going down the tubes along with the hardware now?

Can I copy my contact/address book to an external drive in case of a computer breakdown

I want to make a backup of my contact/address book to an external drive in case my computer gets hacked or power surge. I've gone through the power surge once and lost everything.

Open the Address book window, select an address book folder and then Tools-Export, name the file, select the file type and the save location.

Large Contact Address Book Question

Hello...
Does Google or the Pre have a max size on contacts? I ask as I have a very large address book at over 8,000 contacts that I had on my Treo 700P. I used the Data Transfer Assistant and only seemed to get as far as the letter "U".
I am taking a guess that the Pre has a max of 8,000 contacts. Can anyone verify that they have chosen the Google option for sync and they have more than 8,000 contacts?
Thank you,
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Hi. Following up on this answer, & to confirm: This is the only way to get rid of duplicate info that is stored in the Palm Profile, correct? When I first ran DTA, from my Palm desktop, I hadn't realized just how many duplicates there were. I'm now cleaning up those contacts, in the old Palm Desktop (actually, in ECCO, an old PIM that works w/ Palm Hotsync, & now MotionApps Classic). However, I understand that if I run DTA again, I'll simply be adding another set of contacts, albeit w/ no dupes, into what's already stored in the Profile, w/ all of its many dupes. So, the only answer is to wipe the Pre, after deleting the Backup?
Also, a tip gleaned elsewhere: for Windows XP users, MS Synctoy, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c26efa36-98e0-4ee9-a7c5-98d0592d8c52&Displa... allows one to create & maintain an exact copy of two directories & associated subdirectories, across drives. So I have created an exact duplicate (Have I? Is anything missing) of the palm Pre on the root directory of my C-Drive (had to put on the root directroy, b/c some of the Palm Pre subdirectory names are so long), which I run manually, but which should allow me to restore all missing data files (i.e. photos, docs, & videos, not settings & such, which are buried in files which I can't figure out) after the wipe.
Please advise me if there's a problme w/ the above. Thank you!

ICloud to Mac Address Book - Two Questions

Okay, I have learned/accepted that iCloud is not the sync'ing deal that MobileMe was (missed that in the fine print as I have been a loyal .mac user from its inception and like the MM syncing). I understand that everything is updated in the cloud and pushed to various devices (for me, iPhone 4S, new iPad and 2009 MBP). So, how is it possible for my iCloud address book to have more contacts than my MBP address book? Wouldn't all of the ones in iCloud be pushed to the MBP? The only thing I can think is that before I understood the concept that there are two address books resident on the MBP, I starting deleting what I thought were duplicates since I wasn't able to merge them due to two different sources. I could not find a way at that time to tell me which line was from what source. Then, once I get the two address books matching - mostly to ensure that I am not missing anything in the iCloud one - what purpose does the Mac based address book serve? I just had a nightmare of dragging various cards from my iCloud address page on the right into the iCloud group on the left and only to realize after doing at least 20 cards that after the first one, the left page registers back up putting the Mac based group across from the iCloud contact list so I dropped many of them into the Mac group instead of the iCloud group. The iCal doesn't maintain a Mac version and an iCloud version, why does the address book? BTW, all software on all devices is up to date as of this posting.

Please pardon what may be a silly question. This is my first ever post...
I was thinking about deleting "On My Mac" address book per your above instructions, and sticking with the one iCloud contacts. The problem I am afraid of running into is this: In iTunes, when I sync contacts, the groups that show available for syncing all come from "On My Mac". If I delete from the Mac, will that make my "Contacts" icon on my iPad 'dead'? Thereby, forcing me to log onto iCloud to view my Contacts, instead of a handy shortcut???
Or will I simply get to forgo the iTunes syncing... and the "contacts" icon on my iPad will reflect what was synced thru iCloud?
If the latter is true, does that simply mean I will need to recreate my "groups" in iCloud?
Thanks in advance, I certainly need some guidance.

IPod Touch (yet another) syncing problem contacts, address book

I have a new 2nd gen Touch 8g. I am trying to sync to my MacBook Pro. Would like to sync all my contacts and calendar info from my old Palm, but that is not my question today. I am unable to sync my Address Book and iCal information to Contacts and Calendar on the Touch. Specifics:
- OS X is 10.5.6
- iTunes is 8.1, recently updated
- iTouch software is 2.2.1, recently updated
- Address Book is 4.1.1
- iCal is 3.0.6
I can "sync" using iTunes. It backs up the Touch. It syncs the music. It doesn't sync the Address Book or Contacts properly.
History:
- At first, I set it to sync the Address Book and Contacts (not Calendar and iCal). It would go through the sync process until "Updating Contacts with..." It would hang there overnight. This happened when there were 200+ contacts in Address Book on the Mac but none on the Touch. I cancelled after overnight hours and found none on the Touch.
- Deleted all Address Book contacts. Now there were none on either Mac or Touch. Still would spin the "Updating Contacts with..." for hours.
- Set iTunes to sync both Address Book and iCal. Added 1 simple contact in Address Book. Added 1 event in iCal. Synced. The sync completed but nothing was transferred between the Mac and the Touch.
- Added 1 contact in Contacts on Touch and 1 event in Calendar on Touch. Synced. Each still had 1 contact, 1 event, but not the same ones.
- Set iTunes to replace the information on the iPod (one time). The sync completed, and erased the contact and calendar event on the Touch, and put the 1 iCal event onto the Touch (yea!) but not the contact from Address Book (boo!).
- Tried multiple more times. I can add a calendar event on the Touch, but it never appears on iCal on the Mac. I can add a contact on the Touch or in Address Book on the Mac, but the two never sync up to show on the other.
Other details:
- I don't use Google Contacts or Calendar
- I don't use MobileMe (or really know what it is yet)
- I did use iSync to try to sync all my Palm info (not successfully), but stopped trying and reset the sync history, just in case.
- I don't use USB hubs, and I do the sync with just the Touch attached via the cable it came with directly into the MacBook Pro.
- I've read hundreds of posts here and elsewhere. I've restarted programs multiple times. I've updated software. I've tried following the advice of all the posts I could, even if they weren't precisely what I was experiencing.
Does anyone have any brilliant ideas as to what I should try next? I bought this thing to replace my Palm as my PDA, but it won't be any good unless I can sync the darn thing. I've been working on this for almost 3 days straight and am going bug eyed reading all the info on the web. ANY help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I managed to get the sync to work after much shutting down and restarting, of programs and the computer. I cleared the iSync history just in case. I closed programs, etc. Eventually, it just worked and has continued to do so ever since. It is not slow, but rather quick.
All is well.
Now, the conversion from Palm is another story.....

Contacts added in Messages don't show up in Contacts/Address Book?

Okay, here's what's happening:
1) A friend messages me for the first time
2) At the top of the message window I hit "Add contact"
3) I type in the details
4) Now, this new contact SHOULD show up in my Address Book/the Contacts app, right? But it doesn't!

If found a thread on stackexchange dealing with several suggestions, none of which worked for me. The last message in the thread is diappointing as it basically says "don't use the add contact feature in the Message app". Unfortunately that is the answer I'll be going with since the feature is obviously broken.
Here's the link to the thread: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/36131/some-contacts-not-showing-up-but- are-still-stored-in-iphone-4

Contact & Address Book - two problems

I have a Pearl and have two problems related to my address book:
Problem 1 - If I have a contact for two people, e.g. a married couple John and Jane, obviously they have separate cell numbers, but a common home phone number. How can I save these as one contact e.g. "John and Jane" but allocate their individual names to their numbers? The default in BB is to have Work 1/Work 2/Home 1/Home 2 etc. but how can I customise these to say John Cell/Jane Cell/ J&J Home etc?
Problem 2 - When I receive a call from John I would like my caller ID to say "John Cell" as per the above, not "John and Jane" as the main contact. Is this possible?
Driving me crazy, any assistance appreciated!

Hope you don't mind but I'm gonna jump on this thread & ask my question here. I xfered contact info from another phone via blue tooth to my BB Pearl & saved each contact to DEVICE, not to SIM. Now I cannot find the new contacts in BB. All I find are the contacts imported from GMail & Yahoo. So what happened to these other contacts?
