Icloud adress book in os 10.6

How do I sync my iCloud adress book with the adress book I have in OS X 10.6.8
Thx

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The official way is to upgrade to OS X Lion and Mountain Lion and merge them on iCloud. However, you can do it on Snow Leopard > http://ihelpyourmac.com/wordpress/?p=23
This, at least, will show your iCloud contacts, but maybe you can't sync them with your stored contacts

How to assign the iCloud/Contacts folder as an Adress Book in Outlook 2013?

I just Installed Office 2013
In the old Outlook 2010 I was able to use the Icloud Contacts as my Address Book.
In Outlook 2013 the option in iCloud/Contacts/Properties/Outlook Address Bookk is dimmed.

Hi,
For more methods of making Shared Contacts available as an Address Book, you can refer to the following articles:

What's going on with mail, adress book and the iCloud in Mt.Lion?

I am having troubles here since updating to Mt.Lion that are quiet annoying. Mail is not able to read adresses anymore from adress book. Usually if I type in a letter in the adress line, if would show me the adresses starting with this letter. Not anymore... just an annoying spinning wheel.
I remember that I said "YES" when iCloud asked me, if I want to put my adresses in the iCloud right after the update to Mountain Lion. Maybe that was a mistake. But even after putting back all adresses in "local" it doesn't work.
Any ideas? Anyone with same experinces?
Thanks for your help.

Here is the latest update from Apple for anyone who is interested:
FWIW, the percentage shown has increased since yesterday.
My totally wild guess is that they are doing some sort of server overhaul ahead of the announcements everyone is waiting for today. All I will say is that I am glad I don't rely on it.

My Adress Book shows strange behavior, cannot search or edit

Hi folks!
I recently updated to Lion, also switched my .me to iCloud. At first everything was perfect, now I am experiencing strange behaviours:
I am starting to add fotos to my contacts because I like the view in Mail.app where the contact fotos are shown in the list of emails. After I added some more photos I cannot search in the address book anymore. Typing a name into the search field and nothing happens. Also clicking on a name an nothing happens on the right side. Absolutely nothing. There's only one entry that does not change and when hitting the "edit" Button, only this one contact is changed. Also this one contact changes when doing a right click on a contact name on the left side.
I did some searches here but did not find anything. What I did was deleting the "AddressBook-v22.abcddb" in the ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ Folder as suggested in some other threads but this does not change anything.
This is really annoying and I cannot use my Address Book which I really need. I have more than 2000 contacts inside and it's essential for my business!
Please help!
Thanks and best, Jochen

OK, seems like I can replicate the behaviour:
- repair Disk Permissions
- restart MBP (do not open all apps again)
- after reboot, only the Finder is open
- open Address Book
- click on contact name on the left side, brings details on the right, editing works also -> great!
- click in the search field and type a name
-> no filter of the list or search result appears
- click on any contact left hand side, nothing happens on the right, the last clicked contact before the search remains open
- double click on contact name opens separate window as expected
- no search possible anymore
- no editing possible anymore
-> again repair permissions, and restart and same procedure ...
this is Adress Book 6.1 (1062) on MacBook Pro 17'' with 10.7.2

How can I insert my adress book from my gmail account to my Iphone 4S

How can I insert my adress book from my gmail account to my Iphone 4S

Rudegar - the iOS on the device would not support syncing with iCloud. iCloud would work with iOS 5.0 and later. Preferable way is to have a back up created on another computer.

You cannot use iCloud with Leopard 10.5.8. The minimum requirement is Lion 10.7.2. If you have been syncing your contacts with iCloud you can only have been doing it by some sort of unsupported hack, and if it doesn't work it's unlikely to be possible to find an explanation. If you have been using other (compliant) devices by trying to sync using both iTunes and iCloud you are likely to get duplicates.
A computer old enough running Leopard may well not be upgradeable to Lion or Mountain Lion, but if you can do so this is the only way you are going to be able to make proper use of iCloud.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

greetings from bavaria

If your only issue is with duplicates I would go to your address book and click on the "red marker" up on the window. That should get you into main directory. There you should see at least two main lists:
On My Mac
iCloud
If you click on iCloud, there should be all entries with no duplicates - check if all your contacts are there. Then go to On My Mac and delete all contacts there. Problem solved (and if you have iPhone don't sync contacts over cable if you have iCloud sync active, that's where my duplicates came from).
My issue was more complicated. It started with duplicates which I have deleted as described above. Then I noticed I have all contacts on my iPhone and I can see all contacts on iCloud web page but in Mac there was only about half of them.
So after trying stuff for some time I have solved it by
1) deleting all contacts from Mac and turning iCloud off on Mac
2) copying all contacts from iPhone to Mac over cable to On My Mac directory
3) deleting all contacts from iPhone and iCloud manually, turning iCloud on iPhone off
4) copying all contacts from Mac back to iPhone
5) deleting all contacts from Mac (On My Mac)
6) turning iCloud on again and uploading contacts from iPhone to iCloud
7) turning iCloud on again on Mac and leting Mac sync
Complicated stuff, it's few days so I hope I have not forgotten something.

Mail and Adress Book no worky. :(

So I pulled Mail and Adress book out of my sidebar thingy and when I recently went to try and use them again, the application doesn't work. I don't want to restore my harddrive as I have over 50 gigs on this thing and don't want to lose them but I really want to make use of the mail program.
Is there any way to make the application work? I don't even have the little icon, it's just the generic application icon thing. o-o;
I'm also a new macowner so I may not understand everything. x3; Sorry.

Hi folks,
I'm really frustrated with icloud on my pc. I did and tried so much already but nothing will make icloud even import my calendar and the adress book to Outlook 2007.
When I activate email in the icloud control panel it imports my "@me" account to Outlook - superb!
When I activate calendar it executes some tasks and tells me that calendar in Outlook is now configured - but when I open up Outlook nothing is there...
same with adress book.
I haven't used MobileMe so I don't know how it has worked before. I don't get any error messages so - shouldn't it work?
One thing that i find odd: in the Outlook options I can not change the default data file to the according "@me" file. Is that normal?
Any help will be appreciated!
Peace out.

ICal, Mail, Adress book and more crashes upon launch

This morning I tried to open iCal, it crashed immedialtly. A window opened asking me to restore my window. Did'nt have time to click yes, the app is gone.
I trashed preferences and plists, restart computer, no amelioration.
Then tried to open Mail after restard and it does the same thing (it was working fine before retart). It offered me to retore window then it closed.
Same with Adress Book.
Then I opened my system preferences, click on Mail, contacts and calendar, System prefs crashes.
Tried to open iCloud in syst. prefs, it also crashed (all other items in syst. prefs do not crash).
Repaired permissions (just in case) but everything still crashes.
I have no clue to what to do next... can someone help me with this?
Thank's

Create a new User go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the apps in this new account, if they work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide.
If the issue is limited to your user account Did he have you try try starting up in Safe Mode and test.
(It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your apps functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not Copy & paste this is your "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library
Then go to/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the Desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, moveUsers/yourname/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.

Problems with iCal, Adress Book, Pages and System Preferences

Hi,
No less. Two days ago, I noticed that iCal crashed immediately after I open it, but as I was in an hurry, didn't take attention to that. After that, I forgot completely the issue. Till today, when I discovered that Pages opens a file but immediately after that it don't respond to any command and "Force Quit" report the program as "Not Responding". The same happens with Text Edit. I investigated a little and discovered that Adress Book and System Preferences also crashes immdiately when opens. In the last case, it only happens with certain options: for instance, iCloud, Mails, Contacts & Calendars. A little more research showed me that this only happens within my administrator account (my wife and kid accounts don't have from this problem). This is also the account that I use to synchronize with my Ipad and Iphone. On the other hand, my MacBook with the same OS and almost the same programs works fine.
Any ideas about what can be the cause of this issue?
Thanks!

You can only import vCards into iCloud. If you are unable to export from your source as a vCard you may be able to find a converter by Googling.
