ICloud Address Book Account Setup for Snow Leopard

Does anyone know the account settings for the Address Book i Cloud server?

impossible. SnowLeopard does not support the CardDav backend for iCloud.

  • Saving mail and address book to use in Snow Leopard

    Is it possible to save/migrate these files to snow leopard without losing previous emails?  I'm having trouble with lion and think I will have to erase/format and reinstall the osx.  Thanks.
    Computer is a mac pro, 2010 vintage. Latest upgrades for snow leopard and lion already completed.

    Under Windows in the Menu bar select Connection doctor. You will see green to indicate a connection and red to show there is a problem.  Except for iCloud account you'll see two entries for each account 1) Receiving and 2) SMTP for sending.
    EDIT SMTP SETTINGS
    In Accounts window > Outgoing Mail Server SMTP:  select to Edit SMTP Server list... from popup.
    Select account in the list.(It's not uncommon to find extra SMTP servers listed. When you remove account, Mail does not delete the smtp info. You might need to do some clean up in the list to remove the extras.)
    Under Advanced Tab:
    Apple defaults to the default ports (25,465, 587) but some servers prefer a custom port. Check to see what port they recommend. Gmail for example likes 465, Outlook.com 587, Yahoo 465 or 587
    Verify if your server require SSL. (Yahoo does require SSL)
    User Name. Enter full email address  eg.  [email protected]
    Add password if it is blank.(If you have two step authentication setup, you'll need to get an app specific password)
    Open Connection Doctor under Window in the Menu bar.
    Do you see green light now for your account SMTP?

  • AppleScript for address book stopped working in snow leopard

    I had an AppleScript stop working after upgrade to snow leopard. I select an address and it moves it to a group "envelopes" then prints the address in my current document. Later, I make a mail merge document of "envelopes and print out the envelopes for the day. Now it hangs up at the line:
    Add the selection to the group "envelopes"
    What is the new syntax to accomplish this? Not ready to abandon snail mail

    tell application "MacSpeech Dictate Medical"
      set bundleID to (bundle identifier of current context)
    end tell
    set _currentAppName to short name of (info for (path to application id bundleID as alias))
    --adds the selection to the group "envelope" to drag and drop later into a Pages mail merge to print out the day's envelopes
    tell application "Address Book"
      add the selection to the group "envelope"

  • Need to sync only address book with exchange 2003 - Snow Leopard

    Hey everybody!
    M very new to troubleshooting MAC. M a network engineer and have an employee who recently got a new MAC with snow leopard OS.
    The problem is he would like ONLY his address book to sync with our Exchange 2003 to he could pull out the contacts from LDAP.
    Have spent few hours and found out about DavMail from this forum.
    But is there any other way to do this which I've not come across, basically a MAC or Microsoft way or application?

    icloud can be turned on or off or the whole account can be deleted. You manage that all in iOS5 , under "Settings" -> "icloud".
    Wifi Sync must be turned on both in iOS and on Itunes 10.5* on the Mac' settings :
    in iOS : "settings" -"general"-"itunes wlan sync"
    * In Lion and itunes 10.5 there is the option, don't know about Snow.

  • Address Book - Problems after installing Snow Leopard

    My Address Book now seems 'buggy'. Despite setting the 'sort by last name' in the preferences, the list will only sort by first names. Companies that were listed under the company name, now are listed as 'no name'.
    Anyone with similar problems or recommendations for solution?

    Of all the applications that could go buggy, this had to be the one, right. It's the one (mail and address book) that I use the most and depend upon the most. fortunately I had backed up my data before upgrading to Snow Leopard. However, Mail and Address book have been so buggy as to not be usable, almost. The address book icon in Mail does not bring up a mirror image of my real address book. And the bugs mentioned here in this thread are actually minor compared to the fiasco I had when first attempting to fix the problems. I had my complete address book duplicated . . . and when I tried to fix that, it went bonkers . . . ended up reinstalling the whole OS again. I sure hope they get this one fixed quickly. Otherwise, I'll have to resort to some other mail program that actually works. I'm very disappointed in this outcome!!!

  • Adding a additional iCloud  address book account.

    short and sweet:
    - have anybody added a second icloud account on the address book preferences?
    - I already have my icloud account set up in Lion (and works perfectly), trying to add my partner's address book (only) on
    the application preferences (see: http://www.macosliontips.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/lion-address-book-google -contacts-sync-removed.jpg)
    - trying to get some advice, has anybody try this?, did it messed up your contacts?, I need some advice, what would happen?, afraid of doing it, and messing all of my contacts.
    thx.

  • ICloud address book sync for Snow Leopard

    Mountain Lion won't run on my Intel-graphics dual core white MacBook. Lion should run, but I've been disappointed with Lion and it is now end-of-life (mercifully short).
    So I've a perfectly fine and responsive Snow Leopard machine. Only problem -- when MobileMe dies in June Address Book on that device won't sync with our iPhone [1].
    I know Apple doesn't allow 3rd parties to sync anything to iCloud. So there's no solution that way.
    One approach is to use a 3rd party app to sync Address Book on this machine with Address Book on another machine that in turn syncs with iCloud.
    The easier approach is to go all Google; sync Address Book to Google, set the iPhone to use a Google Apps account. (Ironic that Apple's obsoleting a solid MacBook should drive us to Google.)
    Anyone see any other fixes?
    john
    [1] For various reasons the iPhone syncs to another machine with our family app/media library. So I can't sync Address Book via iTunes.

    In this case I do need to plan ahead, and I'm confident my sources are correct. Apple might add in support for 64bit machines with Intel graphics, but that's a bit unlike them. On the other hand, this entire ML roll out is new, so old rules may not apply.
    Here are my requirements, given for various reasons I need to have a plan in place around mid-May for my corporate user base (3 kids, 2 parents, dog is out of luck):
    Not Lion: I use Lion, but I don't want to inflict it on the family. Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard only.
    We don't want to replace the MacBook - so that means Snow Leopard is required.
    Whatever we do, it has to sync to all of our iOS devices as well as our OS X devices. That rules out iCloud for the iOS devices, since iCloud is incompatible with the MacBook (given the no Lion requirement).
    We currently use Google calendars and Google Apps extensively, and despite Google's marked turn to the dark side we're stuck there unless Apple offers something we can use or Google drives iOS users away (they might).
    That leaves an ActiveSync (Exchange) solution. Apple's enterprise ambitions mean they have to support ActiveSync for iOS going forward. So Google Apps ActiveSync will work with our iOS devices. Snow Leopard is harder -- Snow Leopard's ActiveSync support is broken. Mountain Lion may be better, in which case we can use ML ActiveSync on two machines. For Snow Leopard we'll have to pay Spanning Sync for their Google Sync to Address Book/Contacts and Calendar support. (I saw your Chronosync comment; I own that app, it doesn't help with this problem.)
    So it looks like Apple's termination of MacBook support in the Mountain Lion era will push our family off iCloud and onto Google/ActiveSync/Spanning Sync!

  • Address book and ical not working for snow leopard clients

    We have upgraded our server to mountain lion from snow leopard.
    At first glance all appears to have gone well, however, the ical and address book services don't appear to be working for snow leopard clients. These services DO appear to be working for lion clients.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I am at work right now and don't have access to my Mac. But I need to as if your Dad is on Windows Active Directory network? I also found these directions for Princeton's 2010 Exchange that might help. Did he set up the Address contacts & iCal Calenders were enabled when setting up the account in Mail?

  • I have Os Lion on my mac book pro, im not a fan of this because i cant run many games, i have the disk for snow leopard my machine came with but i get a error saying "unable to unmount disc" when i try erase my hard drive i just want OS SL back any help?

    many thanks Carl.

    You must boot from another drive in order to erase the system drive.
    Try starting up with Snow Leopard DVD inserted and C depress. That should get you booted from the DVD. Then start Disk Utitlity from DVD and erase the disk then you should be able to install Snow Leopard.
    Remember that everything will be removed from the disk when you erase it and install Snow Leopard so backup first.

  • CardDAV Address Book Accounts Finally Supported in OSX Lion 10.7?

    There are several issues with CardDAV Address Book accounts in Snow Leopard 10.6 that still have not been addressed:
    You can move all of your contacts to your CardDAV account except your Me card. It has to stay local
    Numerous applications do not have an established API available to access the CardDAV account (e.g. Skype, LaunchBar)
    You can create contact groups in your CardDAV account, but you can't edit the distribution list. Mac Mail, for instance, will use the first email address for contacts with multiple email addresses and you can't change it
    It seems that development was only taken so far and then deferred. So I'm wondering, for those who have installed a beta version of Mac Lion and have hooked up a CardDAV account, are these issues resolved?
    I realize this is a small subset of people, but I thought I'd check and see anyway.
    Thanks

    Oh, I didn't realize that, but I guess that's similar to the restrictions with other Apple products.
    I have read some reviews on LifeHacker already so I had incorrectly assumed it was fair game.
    Anyway, thanks for letting me know.

  • Wish List Updates for Snow Leopard

    If you support any of the following, please send them to Apple's suggestion box.
    I would like Apple to offer the following settings, preferably without third party fixes.  HOWEVER, feel free to respond with your favorite work-around solutions.  I need to learn Terminal!
    1. Safari - close download window upon completion
    2. Safari - remove ALL cookies and cached items when "resetting" same.  There are always a select few that have to be manually deleted
    3. Safari - have a built in video downloader/converter - Yes there are good third party solutions for this
    4. Safari - allow Private Viewing as a default option
    1.Pointer options - Create an option in preferences to enable the pointer to automatically go the default option selection (as is possible in that "other" operating system.  You know, the one that pirated the window concept)
    1. Apple mail - #1 request is identify a way to allow the numerous superior email clients interface as seamlessly with other native apps.
    2. Apple mail - short of that, create a setting to turn off or allow a time setting to override an email automatically being marked as read if it happens to be highlighted with you open the app, thereby appearing in the preview pane. Appearing in the preview pane does not mean I have read it.
    3. Apple mail - provide an option for creating return receipts requests
    4. Apple mail - What it that box that appears around blocks of text in received mail that makes editing more difficult than it should be
    5. Apple mail - Provide a tool to apply the formatting to other parts of the email (sort of like the paint brush tool in that OS with the "W" word)
    6. Apple mail - If I label a sender as "not-junk" do not put label mail from this sender as Junk.  I do not want all senders in my address book.
    7. Apple mail - If I label a sender as "JUNK" future mail from this sender should also be JUNK, no?
    8. Apple mail - Create a rule that allows "Bounce" as an option
    1. iPhoto - I know I must be missing something here, so please chime in -
    How or what can I do to save photos into iPhoto when I am not using iPhoto.  The most common annoyance for me is saving photos off email attachment or from the web.  There MUST be something I am doing wrong.  Where is the "Save to iPhoto Library" option?
    1. QuickTime - Please bring back QT Player 7!!!
    12. I know we mustn’t use "other" browsers, but in those rare events that it happens - how nice would it be to have a native bookmark sync option or common folder?
    13. Finder - allow more columns in the viewing options for Spotlight
    Please feel free to add to the list.

    Re: Wish List Updates for Snow Leopard 
    Feb 12, 2012 9:59 AM (in response to CAPTJON)
    So may words, so little help.  You do realize that they call this a Support Community, right?
    1. Safari - close download window upon completion
    Mine already does this, and I'm sure you can do it in Snow Leopard, too.
         When you refer to "mine," what OS are you referring to?  Are you willing to share your knowledge on where I might find this capability?
    3. Safari - have a built in video downloader/converter - Yes there are good third party solutions for this
    That's not the job of a browser, and it's not going to happen. Keep dreaming.
         Thanks again for the helpful advice. I am impressed with our willingness to help.
    4. Safari - allow Private Viewing as a default option
    You can turn it on yourself. There's also AppleScript, or assigning a keyboard shortcut.
         I am very aware of how to turn it on.  I would prefer to leave it on by default.  Care to share your AppleScript knowledge?
    Apple mail - provide an option for creating return receipts requests
    It's been there for years—where have you been?
         Thanks again for the poweruser tip, very helpful.
    1. Apple mail - #1 request is identify a way to allow the numerous superior email clients interface as seamlessly with other native apps.
    That's entirely your opinion, which isn't shared by the vast majority of Mac users.
         I am sorry I do not share you opinion, nor did I know you speak for the majority of Mac users.  Perhaps with your superior guidance I would become a power user too?
    Where is the "Save to iPhoto Library" option?
    Have you tried looking at the options given to you when you receive email with attachments? There's a Save button in the Header section that gives you the option to save the image to iPhoto.
         And how does this sugggestion help when downloading a photo from the web?
    Perhaps if you spent time getting to know your Mac and OS X, you'd find that there aren't nearly as many "issues" as you seem to imagine.
         Yes, and I perhaps if you would share a bit of your superior knowledge I would agree.  That was my hope in posting to a "support community."  You put a fair amount of effort into your criticism.  Just "imagnie..."

  • My address book on my MacBook Pro does not include changes made to my iCloud address book.

    I have an iCloud account and use an iPhone and my MacBook Pro for my calendar and addressbook.
    When I make changes to the addressbook from my iPhone, they appear on iCloud (from Safari) but do not synch with the addressbook on my MacBook Pro.
    This just began to happen this week (August 10, 2012).
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for linking your Address Book Accounts Basics (with iCloud). And for all your forum contributions - invaluable!
    A possible tip to add is the obscure option key solution to the question: to what groups does the selected contact belong? When the option key is depressed all associated groups are displayed.
    On syncing: is there an Applescript or utility that will audit every linked iCloud account, Mac and iOS device for discrepancies between the Contacts databases? I thinking of the simple case like ours, where we want everything stored in the iCloud Account once-only-once, plus whatever Group-ings are useful. Even better - a script or utility that will force synchronization across all our devices and iCloud?
    Another useful tip might be: here are all the things you must do to achieve simple syncronycity - everything the same everywhere, no private contacts. That is probably what 99.99% of users want, and it is not documented anywhere. Even Joe Kissel's Take Control of iCloud v1.3 doesn't address this.

  • How do I overwrite iCloud address book with local mac one?

    When I first got 10.7, I had turned on Google sync in address book. Every person with a prefix or suffix on their name ended up with lots of extra cards (where the suffix became the last name, etc). After migrating my MobileMe to iCloud, I cleaned these out in my local address book app. They are still showing up in my iCloud account and iPhone, however.
    How do I either reset the iCloud address book or force the sync from my desktop to overwrite the iCloud service's contents?
    Cheers
    J

    Pull up your iCloud account on the Internet... log in... and then delete all of your contacts from Contacts.  Then turn on your iCloud sync on your computer (or iPhone)... it will ask you if you want to 'merge' your contacts... say 'yes'... and viola, your contacts from your computer have been merged with you contacts from iCloud (which was empty)... so now your iCloud Contacts should reflect exactly what was on your computer (or iPhone).
