HT1386 Cannot select calendars or address books to sync.

Select calendars and select address book are greyed out. Cannot select them in new ITunes on Yosemite.

Hi - I sync my home iMac and my work PC w/ XP to the iPhone daily.
First, make sure before you sync that the tab next to info (I can't look right now) has the calendar and contacts that you want to sync checked. It always works for me. When given the choice, you wants to select merge the data.
For calendar items:
. On the PC under Outlook -- you Mac calendar items will be merged into your Outlook calendar.
. On the Mac - your Outlook calendar items will be maintained separately.
For Contacts:
. On the PC - your Mac contacts will be merged into your Outlook contacts.
. On the Mac - your Outlook contacts will be part of your overall AB contacts. You can still, however, maintain separate groups.
Hope that helps.

  • Why is select calendar and address book greyed out? Why can we not select these options?

    Why can we not select address books or calendars? Why is this option greyed out in ITunes 12?

    You have to make the selection active.
    Go to Select>all, then Select>modify>border.
    Another way is to use a stroke:
    Open your picture file
    Go to Select>all
    Open a blank layer above this
    Go to Edit>stroke(outline) selection. In the  dialog, enter the width of the stroke, choose color, place it inside, ok it.
    If you don't like the border, delete the layer with the stroke, and adjust to suit, then do it over starting with step #3

  • Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book.  Cannot turn these off.  They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used.  How to diagnose this

    Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book.  Cannot turn these off.  They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used.  How to diagnose this?

    First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • How can I share the same music but separate calendars and address book for 2 users on the same computer?

    Can anyone help to answer if I can share the same music account on itunes but still maintain separate calendars and address books on the same computer?

    Make sure each user has their own computer login.
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to /Users/Shared.
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library and select /Users/Shared/iTunes/ folder.
    Quit iTunes and log into other user.
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library and select /Users/Shared/iTunes/ folder.
    That is all you need to do.
    Any changes in iTunes by one will be seen by all others (since you are using the same library).
    All users will have their own Contacts & Calendars and all other info.
    If you are using Fast User switching, you must quit iTunes before switching users if others wish to use iTunes.

  • 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.

  • Why won't my Mac with Mt Lion update my calendar and address book through iCloud

    Why won't my Mac w Mt Lion update mt Calendar and Address book through the Icloud?

    Are you really still running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) as shown in your profile? If so, that's why. Full use of iCloud needs at least Lion 10.7.2 or Mountain Lion.
    If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion and forgot to update your profile, here are some things to check:
    Is it on a network?
    Is it signed into iCloud? The same iCloud Account?
    Are Contacts and "Calendars & Reminders" checked in the iCloud and same account's "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" panels of System Preferences?
    Are you looking at the correct accounts in Calendar and Contacts?

    I got responses from other sources that Address Book will not return selected groups.
    So I did this instead ( How to post a script without loosing formatting? )
    -- copy to clipboard
    -- email addresses of selected group(s)
    tell application "Address Book"
    set group_list to name of every group
    set _groups to choose from list group_list ¬

  • "...cannot use the application "Address Book.app" with  'leopard.'...????

    I get the message: "You cannot use the application “Address Book.app” with this version of Mac OS X. "What does this mean, wat do I do? Do I lose my address book.?

    you can do the following to transfer your Tiger addressbookdata file to Leopard if none of your other countermeasures are working.
    Create a new folder and give it a name such as TigertoLeopard data or whatever;
    then drag your Tiger addressbook data file into that folder;
    add .abbu to the end of the name you gave that new folder;
    remember where you placed the folder and use Leopard Mail import command.

  • "create or select an existing address book contact to represent your data"

    After upgrading the firmware on my Storm, everything seems to be back to the "stupidphone" state, like it just came out of the box.
    I had no idea that would happen; no warning, etc. Trying to send a Blackberry Messenger text to a contact, I now discover I have to scroll through a bunch of EULAs ... probably for every little thing on the phone, from the looks of it.
    I'm trying to get back the Blackberry Messenger contacts I had.
    I have no screen name anymore ... reset that ... OK [grumble grumble].
    No Blackberry contacts. The backup in Blackberry Desktop Manger adds ... nothing.
    So, obviously, the Desktop software is useless, as I did back up everything before I did the update.
    There is some babbling on the screen about some other undefined backup option. When I try to enable that, it says:
    "create or select an existing address book contact to represent your data."
    "Represent"? What in the world do you mean by "represent"?
    And what kind of contact should I be selecting? Some random fool? Myself? Can't Blackberry figure out I want this backed up to something I control?
    Please explain EXACTLY what this "dance around the concept" babbling means. I propose we try the English language.
    Also, how do I get my Blackberry Messenger contacts back?

    1. You only have to accept the EULA once.
    Gordguide wrote:
    No Blackberry contacts. The backup in Blackberry Desktop Manger adds ... nothing.
    2. That's of no help to anyone who might want to assist you. "Nothing" is correct.
    What does happen? You go to Backup/Restore > Advanced... and what? You do nothing?
    Try over the left hand pane > File > Open > Select your most recent BlackBerry Messenger contact database and restoring it.
    Did you ever backup your BBM contacts OTA or to your Media Card?

  • My iPad is not updating calendar and address book.  My iMac and iPhone are fine. What is wrong?

    My iPad is not updating calendar and address book.  My iMac and iPhone are fine. What is wrong?

    Reset the device. If it doesn't work try removing your account and adding it again. If that doesn't work then try restoring the device to factory settings by pluggin into iTunes and clicking "Restore".

  • Address Books not syncing on one iPhone

    I am running GroupWise Mobility Service 2.0.0, Build 429. I have 25 iPhone 5c's connected to it. All but one work perfectly. One iPhone syncs email and calendar but does not receive any of the users address books (there are two that should sync). I've reset the device to factory defaults from the Mobility Service admin console, from the device and from iTunes. I've deleted the user and added back. I've resync'd the user. I've noticed that on the Mail, Contacts, Calendars screen, the Default Account parameter appears for a short period of time then completely disappears. I've configured the user's iPad which has the same Apple account as the iPhone had orginally, and have the same results. Thinking there was something in the Apple account that was causing the issue, I had the user create a new Apple account for this phone and configured it after resetting the device. None of the above helped. Email and calendar sync perfectly. The address books have never sync'd with the device.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I am assuming they are both selected in the GMS webadmin for this user,
    if not check there first.
    Is there any address book name conflicts? I.e. Same name in GW as is on
    the device?
    Next would be to use mcheck

    if still having a problem,
    Export the contents of one of the address books, import it to new
    address book, and sync it.

  • Address Book -- Exchange Sync

    I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the iSync forum.
    I have NEVER gotten Address Book <--> Exchange Sync working. Documentation is almost non-existent (yes i have read the ONE support document). Under what versions (and configurations) of MS Exchange does this work?
    I have Small Business Server 2003 with Forms Based Authentication set up and available. I can verify via sniffer that my Mac connects to it, I see the connection on the firewall, and the IIS logs from OWA. Yet the Mac still gives me the Cannot connect to Exchange errors.
    OWA is only available via SSL (real certificate installed).
    Mail.app works perfectly (yet I still have no idea what the OWA field in the account settings does).

    Launch iSync in /Applications.
    Open iSync Preferences.
    Enable "Show status in menubar."
    Select in menu and hit the "Sync Now" option.
    This will force a sync with local Address Book against Exchange.
    Also, in the preferences for Address Book's Exchange sync configuration section, be sure to have the "Synchronize ever hour" option enabled.
    Just tried and works beautifully on 10.5 against our campus Exchange 2003 servers.
    Your config will vary, but see our documentation for the basic setup:

  • Custom image from Address book not syncing to Exchange.

    I am running Mac OS X v 10.7.5. I have added custom images to contacts in address book. I have an Exchange account which will sync the data (ie name, address, email) but not the custom image. Is there away to have custom images sync to Exchange/Outlook?

    I'm Running Mac OS X Lion, and have seen that changes made in the mac address book do not sync to gmail contacts but changes to gmail contacts do sync to the mac address book.
    Making a change to a contact on my phone does sync to gmail contacts, and then to the mac address book.
    Another test I ran was to change the same contact in gmail and mac address book.  I made a change to a mobile number and notes in one contact on my mac address book, attempted to sync, and the change does not appear in my gmail contacts.  I tried multiple times, restarted my web browser, restarted mac address book, the sync would not work.  I changed the same contact mobile number in gmail with a slightly different change to the notes field so I could see when an update occurred, and when I told mac address book to sync it recognized a conflict. When I select the mac address book change to resolve the conflict, the gmail contact is not updated.  When I repeated the experiment and selected the gmail contact to resolve the conflict the change is made in the mac address book.

  • Will I lose my Calendar and Addresses if I sync my iPod with a new macbook?

    I just had to get a new hard disk and want to put my Cal and Addresses back on it. I can find lots of information about transferring my photos and music, but will I lose my Calendar and Addresses if I sync my iPod with a new macbook?

    Before you sync, make at least one entry in your computer's Address Book and one iCal event (a fake entry will do). That will generate a "merge" prompt. Otherwise, the empty address book and calendar will overwrite what you have on your iPod.

  • ITunes can't see my address book to sync

    I have a MacBook running OSX 10.4.9 and iTunes 7.2. On either my 1st gen or video ipod, when trying to turn on contact syncing I get the message:
    No contacts available
    Contact syncing cannot be enabled because there are no contact available. Do you want to open the address book and create contacts now?
    There are options to cancel or open address book only. When I open my address book there are all of my contacts and nothing appears to be corrupt. I have tried to even backup my contacts and empty the address book to sync an empty address book, but it give the same message. My only thought is that I started to have random problems when I tried using file vault encryption and had to turn it off. Maybe some file path problem crept in. Any ideas?
    Chris

    Mine is doing the exact same thing, and nobody on any of these threads has had any luck fixing it yet, so far as I can tell. iSync is worthless since it simply won't see the ipod and basically is not used at all now as .mac is done through its own preference window. What did work for me, and was quite easily done, was to just open your ipod through the finder and delete the vcard data in the contacts folder. Export your contacts from address book as a vcard to that contacts folder on your ipod, and it all works fine.
    Still won't sync...but at least this only takes a minute to do. I'd like to actually fix it though.
