How to edit address contacts on .mac

I just got .mac and I want to edit my contacts online, but when I go to sync back to my computer the updates don't show up in my address book. Changes only show up when I make changes in the address book itself. Is there a way to do this?

I did this and it works great. However, it wont sync back to my actual address book on my desktop. That's the problem.

How to back up contacts to Mac address book?

Hi, am trying to back up contacts from my 8900 to my Mac- would like them to go into the address book, but the desktop software doesn't give m that option- instead, they are going into a folder which I then cannot open as it says it contains corrupt info? Would appreciate any help!

How to edit multiple contacts in Address Book?

Hi,
I'm doing some cleaning in my Address Book; I have lots of contacts, where I'd like to put similar information (eg. Company or Address). Is there any way to edit fields in two or more contacts at once (like editing tags in multiple MP3s in iTunes?)
Thanks in advance

HOW TO: Import iPhone contacts to Mac Address Book

Hi,
Has anyone tried importing or copying his/her iPhone 4 contacts into the Mac's Address Book?
Is there a link that you can share that can refer me an existing topic in this discussions group?
Thank you in advance.

Put one unique contact in Address Book, this entry can be fake, that doesn't matter, the important point is that Address Book not be empty. Do the same with iCal, if you have calendar entries. When you hit the sync button, with contacts selected in iTunes, this should generate a merge or replace prompt. Select merge.

How to get address book from Mac desktop to a MacBook Pro

I recently bought a MacBook Pro 13" with Lion. I have a IMac desktop and want to put my address book from it to the MacBook Pro and don't know how to do it. Can someone help me with this? I also need to move my word documents. I have Microsoft Word for Mac 2004, Version 11.6.3 on the desktop. Is it possible to move over also?

Office 2004 wont work on Lion 10.7. You should upgrade. From your iMac:
User/Library/Application Support. Copy the AddressBook folder to the desktop of your new MBP. On the MBP:
From the Finder. Hold down the option key and click on Go from the menu and select Library. That'll open the User/Library folder. Open the Application Support folder and put your AddressBook folder there. Moving documents: Connect the two with firewire cables. The iMac should be shut down. Boot the iMac while holding down the 't' key. That'll boot it into target disk mode and you should see the iMac's hard drive on the MBP's desktop. Copy the files over.

How to edit iphone contacts in itunes? (Windows 7)

Hello people! i've just got an iphone 4, and its my first iphone, i've synced all my facebook contacts with the iphone, but now i've got loads of contacts which just have an email, and not a phone number. is there a way to edit them on my computer instead of the iphone itself, as it takes time to do every single one by hand, as i've got around 500 entries now! any help would be appreciated thanks!

When you connect the iPhone to the computer through iTunes, you have the option to sync contants to a supported application. On a Windows 7 machine, that would be Windows contacts or Outlook. Just make sure you have at least one unique contact in which ever application you are going to use to trigger the Merge command. Then open that application on the computer and off you go.
@ssonnic if you are using Google to sync, you can log into Google on the computer and do your editing there.

How to edit address book?

Mostly I want to purge email addresses which are no longer valid.

Firefox does not have an address book. If you have an address book as part of a web based email service that you are using, you need to contact the support for the email service. The address book will be part of the email service that you are using and not Firefox.
If your question is about Thunderbird, for Thunderbird support you can ask in one of these forums:

How to sync iPhone6 contacts to mac book pro

Can anyone help me to sync the iPhone 6 contacts to Macbook Pro?

Hello Koneti,
To get your contacts off your iPhone, take a look at the first article to get them on your MacBook Pro by using iTunes to sync them. The other option is to use iCloud to wireless do it without having to use iTunes. All you need to do that is to sign in on both your iPhone and your MacBook Pro and they will sync up. Let me know if this works or if you need further assistance.

How to Sync iPhone Contacts to Mac running Mavericks?

I stuck woth 10.6.8 for as long as I coudl but eventually uplgraded to Mavericks..
Now it seems contacts do not sync between the iphone and the Mac any more...I can't even find the options for that in iTunes or iPhone prefs.
I have gone through all the Menu and so far have failed to spot any item that is related.
I have seen other threads about contacts not syncing and mention was that I shoudl turn off iCloud Sync...well iCloud was not even on..I have not used iCloud for contact sync since it screwed all my contacts, deleted laods and duplicated the rest. so there is no way I will touch that again.
Any tips apprectiated.

OH bloody brilliant! First I see iSync has gone so I cna't sync my other phone now this!!
Wha the ***FHFY are Apple trying to do ....grrr. Make monye no doubt by forcing evey one to use the iCloud, then once we are all on it.start charging for data.
What next I wonder for OS 11, no ability to install apps at all ...forcing you to use and pay for apps on a per use basis ...rather like Adobe Createive Cloud products...
Lost ofr words.....uurrr..the most useful part of having a Mac and iPhone for me wa the ability to keep contacts syn'd...
It's ok for them no doubt with good and cheap internet access so they can use iCould every where..but not all the world is like that. Annoyed, angry fumin g....

Editing address book on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

I can't figure out how to edit address book entries on my printer. Can someone provide some tips?

One of the easier ways to do this is through the EWS, or embedded web server. Find the IP address of your printer by pushing the wireless icon on its display, and put that ip in to a web browser ad if it was a web site. After that if you go to scan to email along the right, or you may have to go to scan along the top first, you should see address book on the left column. This is going by memory so if that doesnt work let me know and i confirm on an actual unit.

HT4489 How can I synchronize contacts between Apple Address Book/iPhone address book and Outlook (I'm on Mac OX10.7.4 and using Office 2011)?

I appear to have done what I should to move to iCloud on my Mac, MacbookAir, iPhone and iPad. Using Outlook 2011 on the iMac and unable to sync contacts between Outlook and my Apple Address Book and iPhone over the cloud. I gather lots of people have the same problem but some appear to have solved it... any ideas?
Also, in some sync, I managed to duplicate the entries on the Address Book on my Mac, whereas the iCloud Address Book is ok. How can I replace the Address Book on my computer with the one on iCloud?
Thank You for any help!

Hi Lucy, I had the same problem with Outlook data sync. Once you've enabled iCloud all your contacts are moved to iCloud and are no longer stored on Mac, that's why Outlook cannot reach them - there is simply nothing to reach as data physically stored in cloud.
I use SyncMate to solve this problem. This app allows connecting and syncing numerous devices and accounts with your Mac and they have recently added iCloud into this list (here the page where they describe sync with iCloud http://www.sync-mac.com/cloud-sync.html ).
This is how I established sync of my Outlook data with iCloud via this app.
1. SyncMate syncs only that data which is located on your Mac so you will need to move your contacts back to Address Book on mac from iCloud and disable iCloud for contacts (in order they were stored on Mac, not in iCloud).
2. You install SyncMate and add iCloud as a new connection (depending on data you want to sync you need to choose "Cloud contacts" or "Cloud calendars" connection in SyncMate wizard and log into your iCloud via SyncMate). Once you've done this, you can sync data on Mac with iCloud via SyncMate.
3. I may assume that automatic sync option is enabled in Outlook preferences (as previously your contacts on Mac were synced with Outlook). If no - please, enable it (got to Outlook preferences).
4. Once all this done, data will be automatically synced betwen Outlook and iCloud (latter via SyncMate). The trick of SyncMate is that data is physically located on your Mac (thus ensuring it will be synced with other devices and accounts SyncMate supports, as I said before, SyncMate works with data which is located on Mac), but you still can have it in iCloud (sync will be performed via SyncMate, no need to enable iCloud itself).
5. And of course, you will be able to sync your iPhone contacts with your Mac (SyncMate supports sync with iPhones also). These contacts will be also synced to Outlook.

HT2486 HOw do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?

How do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?

Connect your iPhone 4S to your Mac using the iPhone’s USB cable, and then use iTunes to transfer your contacts from to the iPhone. (An alternate way is to use iCloud.)
I’m not sure what you mean by “transferring email address” from the Mac to the iPhone. But if you mean you want to access your email from the Mac and the iPhone, the best way is to configure your email account over IMAP in Mail on both devices.
