Inject Contact Info into mobile Address Book

I would like my mobile website to inject some contact information into the visitor’s phone address book when they click a button asking it to.
Also, is there an ’add me to your bookmarks’ facility?

What kind of backup? If it's a TM backup then open Address Book and select Address Book Help from the Help menu. Search for "restore from time machine." You'll find an article on how to restore entries from a TM backup.
If this is simply a cloned backup then navigate to the /Home/Library/Application Support/ folder on the backup drive and copy the AddressBook folder to the same location on your hard drive.
Then navigate to /Home/Library/Preferences/ and copy the com.apple.addressbook.plist and com.apple.addressbook.abd.plist files from the backup to the same location on your hard drive.
Address Book must not be running.

How to restore contact info, etc, in Address Book from a backup drive?

I accidentally deleted the entries (names, contact info, etc) in Address Book. My hard drive is fully backed up on another drive.
How do I replace the deleted contacts from my backup file? Or, how do I replace the current Address Book with the undamaged one on my backup drive?
Thanks.

HT2486 How do I import existing Outlook contact groups into Mac Address Book?

After months of problems with Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac, I am switching to Mac Mail. I seem to have successfully imported my individual contacts into Address Book. However, I have been unsuccessful in figuring out how to import group contacts into Mac Mail.
So far I have created .txt files, (a separate one for each group), listing each e-mail address in that group separated by a comma. Can I input this information into Address Book somehow? If not, how else can I import my groups into Address Book in a more efficient way than manually entering them? Manually dragging and dropping names into each new Address Book group is not an option, since I have about 50 groups with 20-50 people in each of them. It would take me extraordinary amounts of time to do that, not to mention the frustration.
A second question: There are many duplicates listed in my address book. When I select Card>Look for Duplicates, it tells me that No duplicates are found. They most definitely exist, however. How can I erase them without having to manually delete each duplicate?

You can't transfer the groups, you'll need to do it the hard way.
As for the duplicates, how many accounts do you have in your Address Book?

Iphone contacts to empty ibook address book

I have a new iphone and want to sync 'Contacts' to my ibook which has nothing in the 'Address Book'. I've tried using 'Mobile Me' but all it wants to do is replace my iphone 'Contacts' with my empty ibook 'Address Book'!! Please can anyone help?

I do not think the problem was solved - what was completed was a work around.
I have the same problem - open itunes, plug in iphone, select info, synch contacts, select merge contacts (iphone contacts will move to address book and visa versa) Mac to Iphone success - Iphone to Mac - no go.
This is how it should work - and it is not??? Why? How do you make the itunes synch work?
Synching with mobile me is a great work around - if you use mobile me.
Synching with icloud is great to backup but does not get contacts added on your iphone onto your mac.
How do you get contacts added to your iphone into address book on your map with synch?

Sync'ing iPhone Contacts with MacBook's Address Book

Hey folks, just bought my first Mac which has an empty address book and I am just wondering if it is possible to transfer my iPhones contact list with the Mac's address book.
And then if and when I make any changes or additions to either then they will sync when my iPhone is plugged into iTunes?
Also, similar question with my iPhone callender and iCal?
Thanks in advance,
James

Hi! I have a similar problem, which happens quite often because I usually charge my iPhone 4 by connecting it to MacBook and at the same time the synchronization is done.
If I edit my contacts in Mac's address book, there's no problem, the sync will work. But if I edit my existing contact on the phone, for example by adding a number, changing any data or adding a custom info type, these will be lost after the second sync with MacBook. It's probably because during the first sync the data is not updated in Mac's address book and then in the second one the contact card from Mac is transferred back to the iPhone.
Any remedy to that?

How Do I Load Info From One Address Book to Another?

I'm setting up a new mail / address book for a member of the family.
We have loader her email settings and imported her emails. She wants to use my address book data. (I know we can't use the same address data but just want to start her out with the stuff in my book).
We use different accounts on the same iMac.
I made a backup of my addresses -- file menu / "Back up AddressBook ..." and have copied that file to her user area.
Now ... how do I get those addresses into her address book?

That's not the way to do it. Instead, do this:
From your copy of Address Book, select the All group and export it as a single vCard; this will include every contact in your Address Book.
Copy that file to the other account on the Mac. Launch Address Book there and then drag & drop that vCard file you copied over onto the open Address Book window; that will import all the contacts.

I can't figure out how to import my hotmail addresses into my Address Book

Msn Hotmail exports addresses in a CSV format, and I've done that - I now have a csv file on my desktop. But when I try to import it into my address book, it gets all messed up: none of the email addresses come through, and lots of contacts are missing. What should I do? This is driving me crazy!

Best Practice for Shared Contacts available as an Address Book in Outlook??

Yep so crazy that Microsoft still refuses (by design) to enable address book option for Shared contacts!!!!!!! So I am asking what do they suggest then for my clients to have a shared contact list that is available as an address book and available
to sync to your phone?
Problem:
I have a client that the boss has a contact list in his outlook that he has synced to his phone that is shared so that everyone else on his team can see the contacts, since it is a shared contact list users are not able to add it to their address book (by
design..nice design)
Solutions I know of:
1.Use public folder for contact list...= Nope public folder contact list will not sync with his iphone/ipad...(yes there are 3rd party tools but I would prefer to not go this route)
2.Sharepoint....I have heard this one but don't know much about it. How does it sync to outlook and phones? Is it seemless? can user add contacts in outlook?
3. ??
Seems like this would be a huge issue that microsoft would have fixed by now. Let me know if anyone has any ideas...
Sbs 2003 I will miss you !!!!

Contacts not updating in address book 5.0.3

I have an iPhone OS 4.2.1 and the Contacts on the phone are no longer updating in my Address Book 5.0.3 on my Mac computer when i attempt to sync within iTunes 10.5.3.
Within iTunes in the Info section, "Sync Address Book Contacts" is checked, and within that "All contacts" is selected.
I've never had this problem, they've always synced before. Any suggestions as to what is going on?

Well no, because I haven't had to do that when entering any other field (such as email address, home address, etc.), For those fields, it saves/edits/updates automatically. It's only with the "anniversary" line that I'm experiencing the problem. But I've just tried your suggestion now, and it's WORKED! Thank you! Now I'm curious as to why other fields update without hitting edit after entering, but anniversary doesn't. Maybe next time I'm at the Genius bar, I'll inquire.

Is there a way to take my address's I typed into Pages and get them into my address book?

I have over 200 address's typed into pages. Is there a way to get them into my address book with out copying a pasting each one individually??

Per http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4648
Address Book can import contact information that you save or export from other applications in vCard, LDAP Interchange Format (LDIF), tab-delimited, and comma-separated value (CSV) formats.
You can export addresses in vCard format from Entourage, Outlook, and others, and in LDIF format from Thunderbird, for example. You can export text files in tab-delimited or CSV format from spreadsheet applications, such as Numbers.

HT5500 Facebook photos not integrating into Mac Address Book and iMessage

Anyone have any idea why ALL my Facebook contacts photos aren't flowing into my address book on my Mac & iMessage (on Mac)? Most of them are, but not all of them. I have tried "updating contacts" under Facebook settings on my iPhone several times.

Ill take a look at that website. I have heard you can sync with Gmail or Yahoo. The problem is Ive never stored contacts there. There's a lot more spam in those histories than contacts Id want to keep.
I wasnt asking about a particular phone but in general. Im not really a techie and I currently have an older non-smartphone.
Im assuming if I had an iphone, there would be an easy way to transfer or sync the address book. If t here isnt, then Id be very surprised.
I might have to go with an Android or other phone only because the monthly plans on the iphone are much more expensive.
I was also wondering in general how it works with Verizon or Sprint since they dont have SIM cards.
Ill look at that site you recommended; thanks

IPhone 5 contacts to MacBook Pro Address Book

How do i import contacts from iPhone to address book?

how do i import contacts from iphone to address book?

Ok, I knew it was a long shot. The merge prompt normally is only available when you first sync your device. I'm not sure how things got out of sync in the first place, but you may have to manually delete the contacts from your phone that you don't want there at this point. I would try adding a new contact on your phone followed by sync to confirm that it's picking up new contacts though.
Unfortunately I need to go now, so if you're still having problems I suggest your start a new post in the forum to see if someone else can help. Good luck!
