ICal and Address Book fonts--how do you display them in their own font?

I tried printing address labels from Mac's Address Book. It was pretty intuitive and straight forward. However, when I was prepping to print, I had the chance to change the fonts. The list of fonts was not presented with each font name in the font itself (does this make sense?).
When I use Excel or Word and want to change fonts from Arial to Times New Roman, I go to the font chooser, and Times New Roman is displayed in Times New Roman font. If I want to be creative and pick something new, it's easy to see how it will appear, because the name of the font is displayed in the font its describing.
Is there a setting I need to adjust in order to make this work in Address Book and/or iCal?
Thanks!

On one hand they make Mail look stark, like the interior of a Porsche 911, gray, gray, gray, (boring) and on the other hand they make iCal look like some 3rd party creation where they paid a graphic designer 250.00 to come up with a cool look. Cheesy!
Probably designed by some unemployed Windows XP graphic 'artist.'
As to Address Book. Why complicate something that is already working just fine.

How to connect a Razr to iCal and Address Book w/ bluetooth

How to connect a Razr to iCal and Address Book w/ bluetooth
Hello. I am going to post this in multiple forums because I searched but couldn't find anything on how to sync my Razr with Tiger's iCal and Address Book so this is the How To.
First, download the software Pacifist which can be found on www.versiontracker.com. After the download, put your Tiger DVD into the drive, open the packages in Pacifist, and do a search for iSync.app. Drag that app into your Applications folder. Go to www.versiontracker.com again, and download the iSync 2.1 update. Run that update, and after the restart, use the bluetooth setup to connect to your phone. After pairing, the bluetooth setup should say that you can sync your contacts and ical list. Go to your Applications folder and find iSync. Using this application, you can now adjust the settings for your iCal and Address Book apps.
Good luck!

How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?

Hello,
How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?
I have a Palm Tungsten E handheld which just died.
Luckily, all my data is backed-up on my Palm Desktop V4.2.1.
I just bought an iPod-Touch, so I would like to easily transfer
all my data (Addressbook, Calendar, etc) from the Palm Desktop
on my Mac (OSX 10.5) to the equivalent Mac applications
(Address Book, iCal) which will then allow me to view and update
them on my iPod-Touch.
How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?
Thanks in advance for your help.
David

Hi David. The contact information is straightforward. Bring up your Address List in Palm Desktop, then select Export under file. You pick vCard as the format, and save the resulting file where ever. In Address Book, you then select Import --> vCards under file. You may need to edit things like birthdays by hand afterwards.
I am still working on the Calendar information.

How to export Date book and Address book from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book?

I have my calendar information and addresses stored in Palm Desktop date book and address book, respectively. I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everytime I try to export the date book or address book to my desktop using the vCal format, the Palm desktop crashes. My goal is to export all my data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book on the Apple OS (10.6.1). Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do this or do I just have to start from scratch and manually enter the data from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book? I looked at the Missing Sync software, but I don't think this will do the trick. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store didn't offer any solutions either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Post relates to: Palm V

Hello tay8000m and welcome to the Palm forums.
Have you tried running the "Repair Disk Permissions" command in Apple's Disk Utility application yet? Launch Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" from the left side of the window, and then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
After the utility has run, try launching Palm Desktop again and then exporting your data as vCard or iCal files. If the exports aren't working for you, you can always export the data as comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that into the Apple apps you want to use.

How to sync calendar and contact with Galaxy S2 and iCal and Address Book, how to sync calendar and contact with Galaxy S2 and iCal and Address Book

I have a Galaxy S2, gmail account, hotmail account and want to know the best way to be able to sync calendar and contacts from the Galaxy S2 with iCal and Address Book. I want to be able to make changes on any device and be able to sync the changes. Hotmail is my main email account and would prefer to use tha account but I know that the Galaxy prefers Google. Any ideas?

You have several ways to sync your phone to a mac.
You can use Samsung Kies for mac. You can download it here.
You can also use Google for it. Open Adress Book, click Adress Book on the left top of the screen, click Prefferences and open the Accounts tab. You'll see a "Synchronize with Google" checkbox, click it, enter you mail and password and you are good to go.
On iCal go to Preferences (top left, click iCal to see it), open the Accounts Tab, you'll see a blank list on the left, at the bottom of it there is a "+" sign, click on it and select Google on the Account Type dropdown list, enter your account details and you are done.
Third way to do it is by using third party software such as SyncMate.
Hope any of these alternatives solve your problem!
(The iCal and Address Book instructions are for Snow Leopard, but it should be almost the same on Lion)

You can move your iTunes music Library folder to external media from the G5 to the Mavericks machine and point a modern version of iTunes at it.
I don't know what you'll have to do with your Contacts, however.

How to restore iCal and Address Book from my iPod mini.

I used to back-up my iCal and Address Book to both my Nokia phone and my iPod mini twice a day. then over Christmas my laptop hard drive and my phone both broke within 2 days of each other. Ouch! My only copy of my addresses and diary are now on the iPod. I could spend days reading the data and type it into to computer manually, but there has to be a way to do it automatically. *Mustn't there?*

Similar problem here,
I have a month-old archived version of my AddressBook, but today my entire rolodex vanished when the program froze and I force quit. I have a much more recent update on my ipod and have made significant additions/editions in the past month. Can I retrieve all that data from my iPod??
Help!

Signing out, keeping the data of iCal and address book on my mac

I would like to sign out of iCloud - it doesn´t make too much sense for me right now - without loosing my iCal and address book-data. How can I secure the data on my mac instead of having it on iCloud?

Open Address Book, choose File>Export>Address Book Archive
Open iCal, choose File>Export>iCal Archive
Then you have a copy of each to restore in case of any issues, save them where you can find them.

Syncing material from my iCal and Address Book to Exchange

My situation: I keep 90% of my life in iCal and Address book, because I love their overall integration. My assistant is a Windoze user and we have an exchange server at work.
I have both Exchange sync and MobileMe sync set up on my phone and both work well. That is, I have material from both my Mac (via MobileMe) and the Exchange server (via the iPhone) on the iPhone. Very cool.
However, entries from my iCal/Address Book do not appear to make its way through the "Cloud" to my account on the Exchange server, where my assistant could see them. This is a bummer, as I want her to be able to see when I'm free to meet, get my contacts' addresses, etc. But, I'm not willing to go over the Entourage full time because it dislike it strongly.
Any hints as to how to make this work?
Thanks.

Not much you can do then. There are rumors that Address Book and iCal will support ActiveSync in Snow Leopard but for now the only desktop based Exchange client for the Mac is Entourage.
If you set up Entourage to sync with AB/iCal you can just leave Entourage open in the background. It will sync with both the programs you like and the server.

ICal and Address Book quit working on iPod Classic.

Any recommendations on productivity for database and project management, Bento was good but no longer sync with ical and address book

I've unfortunately updated to the new Bento on MakBook and iPad and synced my data and in the process it tells me that iCal and Address books will not sync any more. I have several projects I am working on and looking for something that will syn with iCal, address book and Busy Cal to manage my time efficiently and seamlessly. Help?

I think you're in the wrong forum - this is for developers, who write programs for apple products.
As for Bento, their problem is due to Apple's changes in the API. The code that syncs with calendars and contacts is now deprecated, which means at some point in the future, it will no longer work. This problem will affect all developers, so you probably won't find any replacement for Bento.

Simple question; Mac Server Setup for Mail, iCal and Address Book Services.

Hi Guys;
I'm new to the Mac Server world and need a few questions answered.
I have purchased a new Mac mini Server for hosting File, Web, Mail, iCal and Address Book Services.
I’m comfortable setting up File and Web Services however I’m a bit uneasy setting up Mail, iCal and Address Book services to be access locally and remotely(via the internet).
My current setup is;
Internet connection (Dynamic IP) -> Router -> Mac mini Server.
I have purchased a domain name (Thornton-net.com) from DynDns.com + a custom DNS service as I can setup my router to update my domain’s IP address automatically.
I can access File and Web Services remotely (thortnon-net.com) perfectly without any issues via the Port Forwarding feature of the Router.
If I setup Mail, iCal and Address Book Services -> will Mail, iCal and Address Book clients be able to access these services hosted by the server via Thornton-net.com?

Welcome to the forums.
For mail services (and specifically for your outbound mail to be accepted by other mail servers) your mail server needs to have a static IP address and matching forward and reverse and MX records, or a tunnel to a static IP (with matching DNS), or you need another mail server where you have an authorized relay. Without that, your mail will be considered a spam engine, and dropped.
Additionally, your particular tier of service with your ISP (with a static IP) will generally allow server-oriented access and server-oriented network traffic, where a residential or other tier of service (with a dynamic IP addresses) can be firewalled.
The ISP controls the "high ground" of the network connections here, so you pretty much get to play by their rules and requirements. If they don't offer static IP, then (presuming their T&Cs permit it) you get to tunnel (via IPv6, for instance) to a tunnel broker, and receive your network traffic via that (and with matching DNS) point of presence. That could well be a tunnel for your mail at whichever your DNS provider is here, because you'll have issues with your dynamic address. (You get to sort out if they offer that.)
Far and away the easiest approach (if you want to host this stuff yourself) is to work with the ISP. They're inherently involved in your network, and they and they alone have full control over your reverse DNS configuration.
