IPhone Adress Book Suggestion

I'm sure the brilliant designers working on the iPhone have already thought of this one, but I'll add my two cents as well. I've owned an 8GB iPhone since day one of the release, and I love it!
One idea, when viewing the address book on the iPhone, and I turn the phone on its side, change to the view from standard address book to Cover Flow type manner to neatly scroll through the contact's photos on my phone. Just a thought.
Thanks anyway for an awesome phone and the awesome computers (I have been with Apple since the Mac SE) and currently own an iMac 24', a MacBook Pro, a MacBook Air and an iPhone.

Synching Contacts on IPhone to Adress Book

Hi, I've been having trouble synching my contacts from my IPhone 4 to my Adress Book. I know they've been synched and are available in my ITunes backups, but I can't seem to export them to the Adress Book. Any suggestions?

If you're using Mobile Me, you can try this: On the iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contact, Calendars > Account Name. Turn OFF contacts syncing. The in iTunes on the computer, view the Info tab on the iPhone item page. You should now be able to check the Sync Address Book checkbox and then click the Sync button. This might work with non Mobile Me accounts too.

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.

If the book isn't on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to copy it from the iPad by connecting the iPad to your computer and in iTunes doing File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync it to the iPhone (connect the iPhone to your computer, select it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and use the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync that book). Or you can re-download it directly on the iPhone : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Another option, if you always want ibooks to download on both devices, is to turn 'automatic downloads' for books 'on' on both : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT453

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

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

Thers alot of info. here and I just can't let it go away ...
Hope I can have some help ... thanks!

Doug:
Your computer meets the minimum system requirements for Tiger. However, the major Operating Systems: Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard must be installed from an install disk, which, as Niel indicated, needs to be purchased. Updates within an OS, from 10.4.4 to 10.4.11 for example, can be installed either via Software Update or downloaded as stand-alone updates form the Apple website and then installed.
If you do not already own the Tiger install disk, you might consider Leopard instead, since your computer meets the technical specifications for Leopard, and the cost of Tiger and Leopard are essentially the same $129 from Apple.
I would suggest that you seriously consider upgrading your RAM. Although the RAM you have will run Tiger, it will run much better by boosting your RAM by installing at least one 1 GB module. Your compuuter will support 2 - 184-pin PC-3200 (400MHz) DDR SDRAM up to 1 GB each. You can upgrade them both or upgrade to 1.5 GB for now.
Please do not hesitate to post back should you have further questions.
Good luck.

Adress book - sms service

I´ve just gotten my macbook, and i´m brand new to the whole deliscious mac-things.. I´ve gotten my mac to sync with my sony ericsson W800i, and now i want to send text messages via it from the adress book. How to? I´ve activated the bluetooth-function in both the adress book and on my phone, and clicking the number i want to send to i´ve sent some messages.
But nothing seems to happen, no-one has gotten any of my messages - weird..
Any suggestions? Is there something wrong with the setup of either my mac or my phone?

You may have seen it elsewhere, but this sorted out my problem. I have a K800 and I had exactly the same issue as you - it would appear to working from the Mac (BT showing connected, SMS option enabled in AddressBook), but no SMS messages were sent. Similar symptoms for the dial feature as well.

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.

I only have access to one my adress books. The other adress books are in use when making an e-mail, but I can not switch between adressbooks in other to edit.

I have 3 different adress books. But I can only edit one. The other adress books are avaiable while making an e-mail, but I can not edit them.

Chrisj4203, thank you for your kind answer.
