Getting Contacts entered into Car's Bluetooth via PCMCIA Card & Macbook Pro

I have a iPhone 4 and have it paired to my Mercedes bluetooth.  Contacts (which create the phone book in the car's bluetooth) have to be created using a PC MCIA memory card inserted in the vehicle.
Does anyone know how I can create the contacts with a Macbook Pro and get them to a PCMCIA card?

Have now tried to connect the MacBook Pro to the Lexus, but although the mac sees the Lexus as a headset (as it should) when I enter the Passcode, they fail to shake hands so the Mac is not added as a 'phone' on the Lexus. This is fairly understandable as the Mac will not be presenting its self as a Phone>Smartphone device, but rather a Computer>Laptop device.
I thought I could get it to spoof the Phone>Smartphone bit using the Bluetooth Explorer app, but that doesn't seem to work as I had hoped.
Something else I noticed using Bluetooth Device Inspector (http://www.radioactivetoy.com/), my OS 10.5.4 MacBookPro shows the following Bluetooth services:
Serial Port (SPP)
AV remote Control (AVRCP)
my iMac and iBook which are both on 10.4.9 show the following services:
OBEX Object Push (OPP)
OBEX File Transfer (FTP)
Serial Port (SPP)
It seems Mac OS 10.5.x has removed the OPP protocol from the Bluetooth device. I'm pretty sure OPP is what the Lexus would use to receive the Address Book data on a phone, so this would be needed.
As a result of this, I tried connecting the iBook to the Lexus, but still had the same connection issues as before, so I wasn't even able to test the contact transfer.
Unless someone knows how to get the mac to show as a mobile phone, I don't hold out much hope for this method of transferring contacts

  • TS3999 How do you get info entered into iCal and Contacts on an equipped iPhone to push back to an equipped MacPro? so far it's only a one way street Macpro to phone, and that's not what I was told it would be.

    Hi, all.
    How do you get information entered into iCal and Contacts on an equipped iPhone to push to an equipped MacPro? So far it's been a one way street Macpro to phone, and that's not what I was told it would be. I've been through all settings on both devices and see no way to do this. Help! If I synch the old fashioned way, what's going to happen?

    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

    Can I download contacts to my car using bluetooth? Car has a mode I can select, but not sure what I need to do on the phone.

    If your car supports Phone Book Access Profile(PBAP), you don't need to do anything on your phone other than pair. The phone supports PBAP.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Did you fail to back up your pics?
    The photo sync is one way - comptuer to ipod.
    You can e-mail them to yourself (instructions in the manual), but they will not be of the original quality.

  • I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro.  Is there a way?

    I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro.  Is there a way?

    Firstly iWeb CAN'T IMPORT any kind of published html code as it has no import facility.  You can however add html code, javascript and css by selecting the html snippet and placing it on your page the entering the code in here and clicking on Apply.  You DO NOT create a shape as you say - you use the html snippet and place your code in there.
    There are not really a lot of ways in which you can write code - if you want to enter small amounts of code, then you would use an ordinary text editor to do this such as Text Edit on a Mac or Text Wrangler.  If you want to add code to iWeb like this, then you would either use the html snippet method in iWeb itself or you would have to publish the site to a local folder from iWeb and open the relevant html page with a text editor and add the additional code in this way and then publish.  However, if he decided to add the code with a text editor, then you would have to upload the pages directly to the server using an ftp client - if you try to upload the site directly from iWeb, all the extra code will be overwritten.
    As for checking whether the site was created using iWeb, all you need do is view the site in Safari and then click on View and then select View Source Code and it will tell you.
    Even thoough extra code was added to the site and he might well have done this by publishing to a local folder and adding the code with a text editor, he should still have the domain file for the site too.
    Ask again.  I'm sure that for adding quick code, most would not want to use programmes such as Dreamweaver, but a simple text editor will suffice.  As OT already said, if he claims that he does not have the domain.sites file, then try Flux 4 which is a web design programme and has full import facilities.  At least this way, if he just gives you the published version of the site, you have some way of opening it.
    You can download a free trial of Flux 4 and you can also purchase the full version from the Mac App Store if you decide you like it.

    42nato,
    You may try the list (skip 5) in this case).
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

    If you can get them paired again try making them "favorites" from the Bluetooth system preferences.
    Try smc and pram reset too.  May gave to do this before you can get them paired.

    And, just out of curiosity, why can't you use the Bluetooth earphones on an airplane?
