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.

Cannot Enter email address with an address book list popping up

GW 8.0.2. I have one user that cannot type an email address into the to: field without a list of addresses popping up for him to choose from. Example: He enters [email protected] All email addresses that begin with sales in the GW address book appear for him to make a selection and will not let him use the email address as typed. It adds the email address to the list if he puts it in a personal addressbook or in frequent contacts. I have run a GWCheck structure and contents against his database. Not sure where else to look.
Thanks
Bill

How to Guarantee Response IP Address with Multiple Addresses

Scenario: the server has a NIC with two IP Addresses associated with it, and is running two instances of Sun ONE, one for each IP address.
How do I guarantee Sun ONE responds using the same IP address that the request came to?
I have seen issues on other servers where you sent a request to one IP address, it came back from a different IP address, and the firewall blocked the response because it did not match up with a request.

Sorry, I meant "it is not possible for any web server to return a response from an IP other than the IP that received the request."

Send mail problem having invalid address with correct addresses

I used java mail api to send mails. the code is a s below
javax.mail.Session mailSession=(javax.mail.Session)ctx.lookup("java:/Mail");
mailSession.setDebug(false);
javax.mail.Message msg = new javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage(mailSession);
msg.addRecipients(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO, addressToArr);
msg.setSubject(mailSubject);
msg.setContent(mailBody, contentType);
javax.mail.Transport.send(msg);
But if there is an invalid address in the recipient address array, the email won't be sent to the correct addresses as well. i just want to know whther it happens any coding issues or our mail server implementation.

Hi!
You need to activated properties config mail.smtp.sendpartial to true :
// Setup partial mail
props.put("mail.smtp.sendpartial", (new Boolean(partial)).toString());
if the recipient address array have bad address, it will still be sent to good address...
or/and check email address before send mail :
public static boolean isValidEmail(String email)
          if (email == null) return false;
          boolean valid = true;
          try
               InternetAddress addr = new InternetAddress(email);
               addr.validate();
          catch (AddressException ex)
               valid = false;
          return valid;

How to filter mail to delete email where incoming email address is not a valid address from my address book

how to create a mail filter which checks the incoming email address with valid address from my address book?

"Sender is not in my Contacts" is just an example ...
There are many different options built in to the Rules pane.
For example,
If the built in options do not meet your needs, you can create a script. For another "for example" see this discussion for a way to return unwanted mail to the sender:

Maintainance of Postal code of chinese address

Hi,
I just wanted to maintain a master data of first of our Chinese Vendor. Our Chinese vendor did not provide us the postal code with his address. I have a choice to deactivate the postal code of all Chinese address in customizing then it will not ask me any more.
Can any body tell me, whether the addresses in china are written always with the postal code and my vendor has forgotten it to mention?
Is there any website where I can find this information?
Thank you

Hi,
We have chinese vendors/customers with or without postal code. I guess, postal code is optional for the region CN.
Best Regards,
Madhu

Cant add addresses with Floor/Apartment numbers when creating Calendar Events in Yosemite

When you create an event in Calendar, there's a field for adding the event address. Previously, when you tried to add an address like Level 2, 23 Sample Street, Melbourne, Calendar would prompt you with the nearest address that it found in Apple Maps. If you clicked the selection, it would add a Map to your event. If you didn't, or simply hit escape, it did nothing.
Now in Yosemite, the Calendar completely ignores your choice and automatically replaces your address with the address it thinks is correct. So for example, if you type in an address like Level 2, 23 Sample Street, Melbourne and it finds the street address within Apple maps, it simply replaces your address with 23 Sample Street, Melbourne, completely removing the Level or Apartment number that you typed in as part of the address.
The only way I've found around this is to completely mangle the address by typing something like Level 2 - 23 Sample Street - Melbourne, which is obviously completely annoying and unsatisfactory.
If anyone has another suggestion or a way to fix this, I'd love to hear.
Cheers,
Anthony.

How come there isn't a comma between the city and state when I go to make an envelope with an address book contact?

On an envelope, there's not supposed to be. The US Postal Serveice prefers no punctuation, which can interfere with machine sorters. USPS Address Format

Sync with Windows Address Book just hangs

I have iPod Touch 4g, iOS 4.1, iTunes 10.0.1.22, Windows XP (up to date). I sync'd my Windows Address Book to the Touch without issue, I made some updates on the Touch, and now when I try to sync, it just hangs at trying to sync the contacts. No errors, it just indicates that it is syncing. iTunes doesn't actually hang, I can cancel the sync, and I can still sync songs, and it still backs up fine as first sync step.

As far as I am aware, "identities" is an Outlook Express concept that was dropped by Microsoft some time ago in favour of separate User Accounts along with Windows Address Book being replaced by Windows Contacts. I am also not 100% sure that iTunes will sync with Windows Address book. Do you see it on the drop down menu in the Sync Contacts tab?
If you do and if iTunes will sync with Windows Address Book you should only see the contacts associated with the identity you are using and shared contacts. If iTunes then syncs, it should sync with the identity you are using at the time of the sync.

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 TO SEND PERSONALIZED EMAILS (WITH SAME MESSAGE) TO ALL ADDRESSES IN THE ADDRESS BOOK - WITH RECIPIENTS SEEING ONLY THEIR NAME BUT NOT WHO ELSE IS GETTING IT

HOW TO SEND PERSONALIZED EMAILS WITH THE SAME MESSAGE, BUT WITH THE INDIVIDUAL RECIPIENT'S NAME... (OR NAME AND THE EMAIL ADDRESS) TO ALL ADDRESSES IN THE ADDRESS BOOK - WITH RECIPIENTS SEEING ONLY THEIR OWN NAME WITHIN THE BODY OF THE MESSAGE TO THEM ?
ALSO, HOW TO ELIMINATE ALL THE OTHER NAMES FROM THE LIST - SO THEY CAN NOT SEE WHO ELSE IS ON THE MAILING LIST, AND WHO ELSE IS GETTING THE SAME MESSAGE?

In the csv file, the column headers must match the the special references in curly brackets.
So you either change the column header in .csv file or the bit in the curly brackets in the Template email.
To change the column header:
In the example shown below, I wanted to use the first two columns
'First Name', 'Last Name' note the exact spelling.
I also wanted the email address which was in a column called 'Primary Email'.
To make it easier for me, I copied the Primary Email column and inserted it into the third column position and then changed the column header name from 'Primary Email' to 'Email'. (This meant I still had the original column header just in case). see image below.
But you could just change the column header name from 'Primary Email' to 'Email' without moving column about - up to you.
At this point check that all the contacts do have a valid email address.
then save the file.
If you do not want to edit the .csv file, then you need to edit the template email.
eg: {{First Name}} {{Last Name}} <{{Email}}>
change to : {{First Name}} {{Last Name}} <{{Primary Email}}>
If still having an issue, please post two images.
One image needs to show the row of column headers used in .csv file.
The other image needs to show the Template email, so I can see how you have used the curly brackets.
