How to format numbers in Address Book for iPhone

I am planning to get an iPhone within the next few weeks and have begun entering all the numbers from my current cell phone into Address Book so that I'll be able to sync it with the iPhone. Since I never had to sync these numbers with anything other than my .Mac account, they are all entered like this: (555) 555-5555. Do I have to format them differently so that I will be able to use them on the iPhone. And do I have to add a "1" for each number or can I have the iPhone add that automatically?
Thanks.

entering like your example works fine. Just remember that if your entering phone # outside the US use the "+" symbol. example +46 35 46678 67

  • How do I download mac address book for OS X Lion

    My address book crashses as soon as it starts. I cannot find the address book to delete and re-install it as there is no folder called Library/Application Support/Address Book.
    Can someone either direct me to the right filder to delelete the address book so I can start again or tell me how to download Address book agaian.
    I do not have a disk adn I downaloded the update from the web. I am running OSX 10.7.5
    Help!

    Address book is part of OS X and cannot be downloaded. I suspect you have a preference issue with it. OS X stores these in these two files:
    com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist 
    com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    You need to locate both and drag each to the desktop. Once you have done so for both, restart Address Book and retest. To locate these files simply:
    1. Finder - Go Menu - Go to....
    2. Type ~/Library/Preferces/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist and hit the enter key. OS X will then disply the file.
    3. Repeat step 2 only this time use ~/Library/Preferces/com.apple.AddressBook.plist

  • Two Different Sync Accounts (Address Book) for iPhone

    My wife and I both have iPhone and sync our phones with iTunes.
    She has all her contacts synced to the "Address Book".
    Is there a way -- I can add mine to the Address Book as well without her getting all my contact as well when she sync's?
    I do NOT want to set up another user account.
    Any hints?

    You could make a group of contacts call "Rohit" in address book and then go into iTunes with your iPhone connected and click "Sync Address Book Contacts" then click "Selected Groups" and only click Rohit contacts. Then do the same with your wife's iPhone and select her contacts.

  • How can I retrieve my address book data??

    I have an old Palm V.  My hotsync cable is bad, it won't sync any more.  And it won't charge the palm, which has been out of charge for, oh, maybe a year.
    So I've still used the Palm Desktop program, to keep track of my telephone numbers, etc.   Well, my cat sprayed the pc, and I had to get a new one.  Meanwhile, with all the shorting out that happened, the program won't open right.  I copied what I thought were the user files, reinstalled Palm Desktop, and got the program open, HOWEVER, the user box comes up like it's a brand new user, and won't recognize when I paste the files to the directory!!
    How do I recover my address book?  I don't care about all the other data, but I NEED this stuff!
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, I have both those files.
    On a lark, I tried opening them through Open Office, AND I can see the data!   It's horribly arranged, but at least it's THERE.  So, problem solved, thank you!!

    did you follow the instruction on the spicebird web site http://spicebird.org/migration.html if you did your address book. settings and mail would all transfer without issue as the underlying formats are basically the same.

  • How to sync Address book with iphone(iOS 6) and 10.7.4?

    How to sync Address book with iphone(iOS 6) and 10.7.4

    i'm having this issue too.  it's a bit more complex though i think so i'll give the details:
    a few days ago i added some people to my contacts using my phone. the thing they have in common is they're all new contacts.
    they synced over to my macbook address book ok.
    then a few days later i had to do a full restore of my iphone for various reasons (the new one, already!) which i did. when i then looked in my iphone contacts, these contacts were no longer there. they WERE however, still in my macbook address book.
    so i figured i'd switch icloud syncing off for contacts and then resync to get them back on my phone. it didn't work. so i then turned off icloud sync and tried a good old manual sync via itunes, making sure to check the box for syncing contacts.  it still didn't work.
    now i'm at that odd place where the contacts are in my macbook address book but not in my phone and i can't seem to get them onto my phone (which is frustrating as ultimately they are phone numbers and in my phone is the best place for them!)
    any ideas?

  • How to sync Notes, iCal & Address Book between iPod & Mac?

    Hi, there:
            Could someone please be so kind to teach me how to sync Notes, iCal & Address Book between my iPod Touch (with iOS6) & Mac (with OS X10.6.8)?
    What file format would it be in when Notes is synced from my iPod Touch into Mac, if possible?
    How may I drag photos in my regular photos files (not using iPhoto) from my Mac into iPod Touch?
    And........HAPPY NEW YEAR of 2014 to Everyone!!!!!!!!

    Thanks so much for your detailed reply.  Much appreciated!
    Just to confirm my understanding that 100% clear on the solution, if my wife gets her own iCloud account, on her phone she'll receive her own emails & iMessages (makes sense) but not contacts.  Calendars though we could share.
    Without two separate iCloud accts though -- iCloud on my phone, and her email through Gmail on her phone -- we could share all the common iCloud data (contacts, calendar, notes, reminders, etc.) by enabling the appropriate settings on her phone.
    Am I correct to conclude then that the sole benefit of her adding own iCloud acct is email through iCloud (and I guess the free 5GB)?  It would not be possible to simply and easily have one common 'family' address book (i.e. since while Calendars are share-able, contact libraries are not)?

  • How can I use my address book with message

    How do I allow my address book to work in messages or do I have to populate it with a new list of phone numbers and email addresses?

    Not sure what you are looking for. The iOS address book, Contacts, is used with all comunications apps such as Messages, Mail, FaceTime and the Phone app on an iPhone. Enter your contacts into Contacts including all known info including phone numbers, email addresses, Twitter and Facebook IDs as well as more info.
    When you create a new message you can either start typing the address or tap on the button to bring up Contacts. Be aware you can only FaceTime and send Messages to other iOS devices. Other third party apps can expand on the messaging capabilities.

    While in the Address Book press the Menu and than Options. Just type in RSET
    (capital letters) and you'll be able to wipe out all your Desktops where the
    Wireless synchronization is Not available. You can keep intact the last Desktop
    where the Wireless Synchronization is Yes.

  • How to transfer the whole address book from one no...

    Dear friend,
    Could you please advise me "how to transfer the whole address book from one nokia to another nokia phone via blue tooth connectivity. (move one by one is not convenience for my hundreds of contact.
    Thank and waiting for advice...
    victor

    If your phones have the built-in "Transfer" (sometimes called "Switch") application, try it.
    Otherwise, depending on the model(s) you can also copy all contacts to/from the memory card, and get them over that way.
    And you can also synchronize both programs to the same service (e.g., Outlook on a Windows PC using Nokia PC Suite).
    And newer versions of Nokia PC Suite can also be used to make a backup of one phone, and then restore to another.
    PC Suite you can find here: http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite

  • How do I move an address book from a pc to my MacBook Pro

    How do I move an address book from a pc to my new MacBook Pro

    Hey andreafiona,
    You can either manually migrate or use Windows Migration Assistant. I'd like to direct you to two articles - the first one here will go over generally what Windows Migration Assistant is about. For you, I'd skip to the section titled "What gets transferred, and to where?" and then "Email, contacts, and calendar information" so you can read about where you contacts will get moved if you choose the WMA option:
    About Windows Migration Assistant
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796
    Then, this next article will be a step by step process for transferring from your PC to the MacBook Pro and will include using both Windows Migration Assistant and manually migrating, whichever you choose:
