Hello pruschi,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want the same addressbook on 2 iPhones. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

How to merge two address books?

I am migrating from a G4 with 10.3.9 to a iMac with 10.5. We want to merge the addressbook with another iMac on 10.5 connected via ethernet.
The addressbooks used to be identical but the one from the G4 has fallen out of date. I would like to merge the two making the current 10.5 one dominate when they have duplicate entries.
What is the best tool with which to do this?
I am new to Macs so if there is a documented procedure that would be best. Any and all reference materials on the address book and it's structure would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Chuck

"The duplicates criteria is the email address and nothing else."
Golden Shores,
I think your statement solves the problem that I have. No one responded to my post about duplicates, but your statement answers most of the issues.
First, I would like to trash my current OS X Address Book and start over. Which files should I pull from which folders? I won't really trash them but move them elsewhere as backups.
I have a Palm address book with 2400 contacts that can be easily exported to vCards. However, very, very few of these contacts include e-mail addresses. I also have an AOL contact (1000 contacts) list that includes First & Last Names and an e-mail address (or two) for each person. I can also export this list to vCards. Most, if not all of the names in the AOL list are also included in the Palm list. Based on what you said, if I merge these two lists, I'll end up with 3400 contacts with everyone from the AOL list being duplicated and Address Book will NOT recognize them as duplicates.
How can I merge my two lists without having to manually copy the e-mail address from the AOL list and add it the Palm list and then manually deleting the contact from the AOL list?

How to join two audio books into one

Somehow the audiobook that i have had for a while got split into two different audiobooks
Is there someway to merge them back together?

The following solution will merge two audio streams of different formats and mix two audio streams of the same format... translation, make sure they're the same format before you merge them.

How can i backup Address Book & iCal using TM?

How can i backup Address Book & iCal using TM?

just back up your whole computer and those things will be backed up along with everything else. Time Machine is not well suited for cherrypicking just a few things to back up and it's a bad idea anyway. if you insist on backing up just those two things back up homedirectory/library/application support/address book and homdirectory/library/calendars.

Merge two address books

hi i have two computers
how i merge the address books on both into one
also, how do i ensure i do not end up with duplicates
thjanks

Greetings,
If you are a MobileMe subscriber you can turn on Addressbook syncing on both computers. This will automatically compare both addressbooks and update them so they match.
Alternatively:
_Go to each addressbook and click on "All Contacts" in the upper left
_Go to File > Export > Group vCard
_Take the resulting vCard file to the other computer and open the file up
__Once the vCard is imported go to Card > Look for Duplicates
____This will scan for and resolve any duplicates although you may want to go through afterword to make sure it go them all. Any remaining duplicates can be resolved by highlighting the duplicate cards and going to Card > Merge Selected Cards (or just deleting one of the duplicates)
Cheers.

Two address books and calendars?

My employer gave me a Blackberry Curve 8310. It is set up to sync email (wireless) with my employer's email server which is Lotus Notes.
My personal address book and calander are on MS Outlook, which I used to sync hardwire with my personal desktop.
Can I use two address books and calendars on the Curve 8310, one Lotus Notes for professional items and one MS based for personal items?
TIA. I hope this wasn't too elementary.

Hi there!
Ummmm...this does not sound like an issue regarding AppWorld...we will have the post moved over to the proper device forum so that the appropriate experts can have visibility to it:

How to Merge 2 Address Books

Hi folks. Just wanted to know if anybody knew how to merge 2 address books. I don't mean two identical or similar contacts. Whole address books.
A duplicated, put into B machine. They both took on separate lives.
This is what I am thinking:
- A backed up.
- B exported.
- B imported into A, conflicts resolved (that could take some time, if it's manual, as my book has 1600 cards)
- A (which is new), exported, put back into B.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Well, unfortunately, Address Book doesn't have a function to compare then only merge identical cards. Its four import options are Keep Old, Keep New, Keep Both, and Update. The Update option is closest to what you want, but it will assume that contacts with similar fields (like the John Q Public example I gave earlier) are the same person and will combine them into one (I found this out the hard way).
Your best bet I think would be to export All Contacts for each Address Book as a single vcard (this is the only format that Address Book natively exports), open in a spreadsheet/database program that can compare and merge identical fields, and do the combine there. Address Book can import .csv files, so something like Excel or Araxis Merge (➚) might be able to do it (I don't know if Excel's Merge Workbooks function is applicable in this case).
Perhaps other people have suggestions on how to only combine identical cards. I don't know programming, so AppleScript and Terminal puts me out of my depth. For what you want to do, Address Book's import/export functions are insufficient by themselves.

Is it possible to have two address books on one computer?

I would like to create two address books on my computer. One for my wife and one for me. Therefore we can each sync our iphones to address books.

You can do that by have two separate user accounts on the computer - one for you and one for your wife. This also lets you each have separate Apple IDs so that your iPhone data are separately synced.
Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers4. I
have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax.

Two address books

Anybody know if it's possible to sync only certain address book groups - or - run two address books?
I've got contacts I need everyday, which I need to sync with MobileMe and my iPhone.
I've also got hundreds of contacts I would like to keep separately, so they don't sync and fill up my iPhone.
So, unless there is a way of not syncing a group within my main address book, can I run a second address book.
Suggestions gratefully received!

On the Info panel when you sync in iTunes, you can select the Address Book groups you sync.
I don't use mobile me, so I don't know how it is set up. You may be able to do something similar.
And, there's not a simple way to keep two address books for the same user.

How to download the address book from Iphone to the computer

i want to create an address backup in the macbook, but don't how to save the address book from Iphone 4 to the computer.

Syncing of the contacts from the iPhone to the Mac address book is accomplished through iTunes. Once the iPhone is connected, you go to the Info tab in iTunes and select to sync the contacts to the particular application, in your case, Address book. Make sure you have at least one contact in address book you don't have on the iPhone to ensure it gives you the option to merge the two. That is the only way to get the contact onto the computer. Then you can backup the computer.

How do i prompt Address Book to sync?

To Forum,
My Address book syncs with Google and vice versa. How do i prompt Address Book to sync once i have updated items within it? i see it syncs here and there on its own accord? whats the prompt? what do i have to do? or why does it sync when it does?

. . .from my old address book. (10.4.11) I tried to import the ABBU file into CONTACTS (10.8.2 ) . The drop down warned that this would "replace" the existing contacts. That is what I wanted to do. Writing over the dozen addresses that I had copied from old emails was no big deal, but now those are gone and the address book is EMPTY. The new addresses are gone and the old addresses did not import.

How to use webmail address book on Mac Mini Server with Lion Server.

I have a Mac Mini Server with Lion Server installed; the webmail is setup and working but I can not get the address book to work.
I have followed an instruction from this website on how to activate the address book icon in webmail but can not add any addresses. Is there something that needs to be activatied before it will work?

No, I didn't solve the problem. The monitor still goes to sleep with WIndows but not with my Mac Mini. About 8 months ago I basically wore out the power switch on my monitor so I bought a wireless power switch to shut it off at the outlet. The VX2835wm monitor itself is now starting to fail as well-- a couple of times it's gone through a weird sequence of flashing screen colors on power up and ended up in an overscan mode (that took me for ever to figure out how to fix). I have decided to replace my VX2835wm with a Dell u2412m once it fails for good partly because I really want to keep the 16:10 resolution (very hard to find these days) and partly because I want to see if a different make of monitor will go to sleep properly based upon my Mac Mini power down settings.

How can i reinstall address book

Does anyone know how to reinstall the address book in Lion?
Most tutorials I've seen assume that you have an installation disk, which Lion obviously doesn't have.
I keep getting the message that I cannot delete or change the Address Book as it is an essential app. It seems to be corrupted and I cannot open it at all.

No - that didn't work. I have the error message in case that helps:

You probably can't, but you can start by posting your queston in the correct forums...the OS X Mail and Address Book forums, as this forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to your question in any way.
