HT4918 Can the address book off my computer be accessed by iCloud?  It wasn't part of Mobile.Me.

We are going on vacation and I'm hoping to be able to access the address book off my home computer (iMac desktop) at our hotel (PC).  I just tried it on my husband's PC laptop and it didn't work.  Do I need to do something to the address book to make that happen?

Please follow the directions in this support article. If there's no change, see below.
Back up all data. Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to keep or delete the keychain items. Choose to delete and confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device. Test.

  • Why isn't the Address Book on my mac syncing up with iCloud?

    Since I've upgraded to iCloud, the Address Book on my mac isn't working right.  There are some contacts on iCloud that are not showing up on my mac. Also, I can't get "add contact to address book" to work in Mail on my mac -- I'll select it, and it won't add the contact to Address Book.  Funny enough, this function works fine when I'm on iCloud using the mail program within it on Safari.  And these edited contacts show up fine on the iPhone and iPad, which are all on iCloud.  Any advice?  Thanks!

    First, open Address Book on your Mac, then click Adress Book on the top bar, then click preferences. You will be taken to General, but click on Accounts. In the bottom left corner of the Preferences window, click +. Change the account type to iCloud, then enter your Apple ID/iCloud username and password, then press create, and again if it asks. Quit Address Book preferences and your iCloud contacts will appear on your Mac (If you have any already synced to iCloud).
    Note: If you have some of the same contacts on your Mac as you on iCloud, you may be left with duplicates. To delete a contact, click on it to highlight it, then press function (fn) and backspace.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can The Address book in Thunderbird be made to do all the things Outlook Express Address Book Will Do?

  • HT2486 I can't get the address book (Contacts) to work on my computer.

    Everything is on my phone but not on the computer. Can't add anything to the address book on my computer. I have everything set to back up to the computer from my phone but it doesn't.
    Can anyone help with this issue.

    Hi jackie1b,
    Thank you for your reply,
    I  see you do not wish to purchase the adapter online and are having difficulty locating one locally.  I Googled DVI adapter at Staples.com and they carry the cables.  You can try any computer shop or office depot, staples any place like  that, they usually carry the accessories, if not if you spoke with a sales person, they would most likely order it for you.  They would also be able to assist you with getting the correct cable for your situation.  They also produce cables with different connection on either end, you could also check into. 
    Here are two document that I hope will be of assistance to you. No Sound from the Speakers or Headphones (Windows 7) and Connecting Monitors and TVs to Your PC (Windows 7).

  • Unable to synchroniz​e the Address Book on the BB Device with Outlook Software 2010 Contacts

    Enviroment :
    Device Black Berry Bold 9700
    Back Berry Device Software V6
    Cause of problem :
    On the BB Device there are 2 Adress Books with the same name.
    The first one with 109 elements and the flag for wireless synchronization
    The second, which is of most importance to me since it includes my business address book, contains 1837 elements and does NOT have the flag for wireless synchronization.
    Whenever I  try to synchronize the BB Device with the PC , using Black Berry Device Software on my Windows 7 based PC and Outlook 2010 Application Software, only the first Adress Book appears active.
    I tried to solve the problem through the BB Support Forum (see link below)
    http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites​/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB1​...
    and regretfully I found out that no solution are available so far.
    This is a previously reported issue that has been escalated internally to our development team. No resolution time frame is currently available.
    The suggested Work Around doesn't work.
    Since both address books could be cleaned but not erased, it is impossible to delete the first address book and subsequently synchronize the right data .
    I tried to synchronize the BB Device with the Windows contacts but the result is the same: the synchronization works only for the first (small) Address Book.
    Another bit of info, to worsen the situation: last week the HDD (internal disk) on my PC crashed, therefore I lost all my data; as a result, the only correct Address Book  data available is inside the Black Berry device (larger list, which is the second, as stated above) , thus I absolutely need to recover all the 1837 addresses included, since they are vital for my business work.
    I need your help to solve this situation caused by an evident Black Berry Software bug.
    Thanks in advance

    I do not receive any suggestions to solve my problem.
    After 6 month the problem is very urgent, my business address book is vital for my work.
    I have only the copy on the Device Black Berry Bold 9700 and I absolutely need to have a copy of the address book on my computer.
    Do you have solved the bug.
    I need a quick answer and a final right solution
    Thanks

  • Why can't I edit or delete Address Book "On My Mac" or sync with iCloud?

    Why can't I edit or delete Address Book cards on my Macs, now that I've migrated to iCloud?  I can edit/delete if I go to iCloud, but the changes don't sync with my Macs.  What's happening, and what's a solution?  Just wait for Apple to fix a bug?

    On your mac, if your look at the left panel of the Address Book, you'll find general categories of "iCloud" and possibly "On my mac" - if you have contacts in the latter, then they are only local to your mac, they are not shared with iCloud.  If you don't have an "iCloud" category, then your mac(s) is not set up of iCloud.  Go to system preferences and look in iCloud.  Is the mac signed into iCloud, are contacts turned on for syncing?

  • I got my Macbook Air from a family member and I can't get my address book on my computer.  What do I do to get the address book on it?

    I purchased an Air Mac and can't get the address book on it.  Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do.  I have an IPhone and an IPad and they both have clouds but I don't see one on my Air Mac.

  • When I access the address book, how can I copy an address without having to open the person's info in the edit window?

    When I find a person's address in the address book and highlight their name in one pane, in the lower pane their info shows up. Unfortunately, highlighting the information I want is disabled. So, I open their info in the edit window, and then click on the appropriate tab.
    Getting a single piece of information is not so inconvenient, but when you're putting together lists it is rather onerous to do it that way.
    Being able to highlight and copy off the address book panes would be cool. Thanks

    In an earlier communication, I had said that this was possible, at least with TB on Windows, but I realize now that it's only possible when a certain add-on is enabled: [https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook]
    http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/3_How_to_install_Add-ons_in_Thunderbird.html
    Install the add-on, and see if you can now highlight info in the Contact Pane by dragging the cursor. Ctrl-C (or the Mac equivalent) to copy the highlighted text to the clipboard.
    You may notice that right-clicking an address in the Contact Pane now shows a Copy command, but a bug in the add-on prevents this option from being active.

  • How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name (using v 31.3.0).

    After a computer crash, I had to load Thunderbird (v31.3.0) back into my machine running Windows 8.1, and I successfully imported my address book back up file into Thunderbird (v31.3.0).
    My problem is that I don't see an option to sort the address book by "Last" name, which was available with the version of Thunderbird I had before the crash.
    How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name?

    In 'Address Book'
    Select address book
    'View' > 'Show name as' > 'Last/First'
    The you can sort by Name.
    Either click on 'Name' column header to change sort order,
    If reversed, then click on 'Name' column header again to reverse the order.
    Or
    'View' > 'Sort By' > choose 'Name' and 'Ascending'

  • HT1296 I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
    I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
    So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
    Thank you so much.
    I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
    And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
    I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
    Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos?

  • HT3952 Why can't Address Book allow me to add "spouse" to the print job?

    I can add "spouse" to a card, so why can't Address Book allow me to print the name on the card plus the spouse name? So if I try to print "Ravi" I have the option in the print dialogue to add "Mei"? Seems simple, even Word can do it.

    Hi,
    It doesn't look like the "Country" field on the cards need to match.  I changed one of the spouses to a different country and the label (as shown in the print dialogue panel as you suggested) still shows "John Smith and Jane Doe."  Most of my country fields are blank.
    It does matter that the Country Code be the same for both.  After selecting the card and clicking on edit, the Country Code can be checked or changed by clicking on the address label (home, work, etc.) and moving the mouse down to "Change Address Format..."  You'll see a long list of countries.  If the cards for Jane and John don't have the same country code, the label won't show both names.
    The lines of code like:
         <key>us</key>
         <true/>
    in the ABRelatedNamesConfig.plist file determine which countries the related names functionality will work in.  Using the plist shown in an earlier post, they need to live in ca (Canada), uk (United Kingdom), us (United States), or fr (France) and both need be be in the same one.  Adding other country codes to the plist file should enable that country to work as well (I haven't tried it).
    The related names functionality was removed with the release of Snow Leopard (10.6) so I've editied the plist file in 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8.  All have worked.
    The only other thing I noticed is that the following two lines shown in the earlier post are really one line in the plist file.
    As shown in the earlier post, the code:
         
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    is really all on one line.  Here is a screen shot of my plist file as viewed in TextWrangler:
    The good news is we have 358 days to figure this out before Christmas.

  • HT2486 My mail account is linked to my address book. The address book shows First Name, Last Name. When I try to insert a name into an email, the order is reversed...Last Name, First Name.  How can I make the email read in the same order...First Name, Las

    My Mail Account in linked to my address book. The address book shows First Name, Last Name. When I start an email in Mail, the name does appear but the order is reversed...Last Name, First Name. I must have changed a setting somewhere but I don't know where. Does anyone know how to correct it?

    I don't have any problem with my system. My guess is there is something there you aren't quite getting. I'd recommend a visit to your Apple Store, AASP or to contact AppleCare so they can coach you personally.
    You can also play with the Address Book Preferences. However to see how changing a Preference affects the Address Book drag the Preferences window off of the Address Book so you can see both the Preferences window and Address Book Windows. Then toggle a Preference and you will see it instantly changes in the Address Book. 

  • 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.

    fiddledum,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I would recommend that you check out Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther, by Kurt Lang.
    Another possibility is to Quit Address Book, find the com.apple.AddressBook.plist in the ~Library/Preferences Folder. Drag it to the Desktop, and log out/in or restart.
    Attempting to install a newer version as you have discovered will not work.
