ICal and adress book

Hello. I was creating a new event in iCal, but when I set a email as an alarm, it said, "You must add your own card and email adress in the Address Book in order to be able to use email alarms" So I went and added myself in my Adress Book, went and tried to set email as an alarm, but I got the same message again.
I realize that I was supposed to have my own address card already when I got the computer, but I have reinstalled the OS and now it's not there, neither is Apple's address card.
Anyone know the fix to this issue? Thanks in advance.
Nevermind, found out my name wasn't Jonathan Pang, but jonathanpang

you've probably already tried this, but have you selected a new card with your info in address book and selected the menu item Card>Make This My Card
did this once before and it worked in resetting my profile card
good luck!

  • ICal and Adress Book sync brings back deleted stuff

    Hi everyone,
    I hope this wasn't posted yet, in any case I couldn't find it, so sorry for any double posts.
    I use my iPhone as my primary work device and perform all changes of Calendar and Contact data on it. When I sync it with my desktop Mac (PowerMac G4 that I use as backup device for pretty much everything) all the old contact details and calendar events that I deleted from the iPhone are synced back to it from the desktop Mac. I exclusively sync via iTunes.
    So what I want would be a one-way sync from my iPhone to the desktop Mac so iCal and Adress Book there are just as up to date as on the iPhone. Any suggestions?
    Thanks a bunch!

    Thanks, Allan.
    I am not sure if I will follow your advice, however. While you're probably right and it should be a true sync, what I was trying to say was that in my case (and apparently Berit's as well) it simply isn't.
    Which means that apart from the fact that we will probably have to clean out our adress books and calendars again after a reset and sync. I've done that three times already and believe me, it's a major pain. Plus, there is also a chance it won't work afterwards.
    I was actually hoping for there to be some workaround solution like a one-way sync. And I'm not happy with Apple's tendency to prevent such workarounds wherever they can. I understand they want to profit from their awesome products but wherever anything doesn't work they're starting to lose their user friendliness along the way. Which still, to me, is their selling point number one, notwithstanding the really great design.
    Honestly, I'm not sure what to do right now.
    But thanks again for your time. I'll keep posting what happens.
    Best,
    Martin

  • ICal and Address Book no longer syncing with iPhone - HELP!

    HELP!
    I am a long time Apple user and rely heavily on my iPhone to keep me where I need to be, when I need to be there. I have an iPhone 4 and it is running OS 6.0.1. Everything was working fabulously until recently. Sadly I don't know when the problems started--when I updated to OS 6 OR when I updated iTunes to version 11. Either way, my iCal and Address Book no longer sync with my iPhone. And to add insult to injury, my phone is no longer automatically detecting the AT&T microcell I have in my house. I have to reboot my phone every time I come back in the house--talk about annoying.
    I am not super techy, so I am hoping someone can help me with this. I LIVE by my iPhone and as a self-employed person, I can't afford for this device to stop giving me information. I also don't want to do entries on my phone AND computer everytime something changes. I do not want to go back to the more reliable paper calendar and address book.
    I have iCloud turned on, and it appears to sync my address book with my iPhone. But I seem to be a mess with iCal and my desktop. And between iCal/Adress Book on my computer and iPhone, nothing is talking.
    HELP!!!!

    I think my company updated Exchange on Friday and since then I cannot sync with Mac Mail, Entourage does not seem to be working either?

  • 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)

  • 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!

  • 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?
    Message was edited by: Allan.Thornton

    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.

  • Use emails and adress book from a different user

    I bought a new Imac and start using it.
    Then when I tryed to restore the back up that I have on my other macbook, that I did on Time Machine, it went to a different user.
    Now I have 2 users.
    There are 2 apps that I can not use with me new user (Things and Email-direct) and can not acess mail and adress book from the other.
    I have already install everything on my new account. What should I do to use the email and adress from my different user account?

    No problem except for a minor nuisance when it's time to update the apps.  Depending on how you do it, you might need to log out and back in again but, in any case, you must have both passwords.
    The iTunes library can hold purchases made with multiple Apple IDs as can the iPod.

  • 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!

    Hi,
    There's a dedicated forum for Server customers.
    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.

  • 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.
