Is there a way to sync address books?

I have the address book for our company on a server. I would like to synchronise the address books in both directions.
Is this possible? Any tips as to how to do this? Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

Mapping solves the problem. Groupwise has no corresponding field for "Direct Connect". For ease of data entry, I mapped the Direct Connect field in my 8350i with the pager field in my groupwise address books. The BB desktop manager now syncs the nextel direct connect #'s.
The steps are:
In BB desk top manager, select Sync Configuration; address book; advanced; Field Mapping (at bottom of list). Map an unused field in the GW address book with the direct connect field in the 8350i.
I assumethis would also work with outlook and others.

  • What is the best way to sync Address Book contacts?

    Please help!
    I run a small Mac network and I need to sync all (we have 8 Macs) the Mac's Address Book's with each other and also with 5 different iPhones. We have a Mac Server running Tiger and all the Macs are running Tiger. 4 of the Macs are Intel. The server is PowerPC.
    At the moment I am just using 1 .Mac account to sync to them all, but this is causing many problems with duplications, errors and 'stress!'
    The reason for the above setup is money. But, as the problems continue and the syncing become more important, money is now allowed to be spent.
    My question really is, as the subject header says, 'What is the best way to sync Address Book contacts?' In the past I have tried XC Connect, and a few other apps, but with the introduction of the iPhones, the setup has become more complex.
    If I were to buy all new Intel Macs and an Intel Mac Server all running Snow Leopard, would the 'Address Book Server' do the job? I have found very little information on the net and the information I did find was all negative.
    Is there something Leopard can do that Tiger can't? Is Tiger nolonger a good enough system to try and run an Address Book network?
    Does anybody else out there in the Mac world have a similar setup to mine, and if so, how do you have your setup.
    Incidentally, ALL users, incuding iPhone users, need read & write access to the Address Book!!
    Any solutions or suggestions would be most welcome.
    Thanks in advance

    Oh, I meant Leopard does do more than Tiger Server.
    I don't know enough about Server, even less abut Syncing.
    SL is to new, not enough time to iron out the kinks yet imho.
    One day SL will be better than Leo, but...
    I'd ask over in server...

  • Is there a way to download Address Book Contacts in a .cvs file?

    I'm trying to import my contacts into a fundraising site to raise money for charity, I have over 300 contacts so doing it manually is out of the questions.  Is there an easy way to download Address Book Contacts in a .cvs file?  That's the only kind accepted.

    No.
    Export to vCard and Google for one of the many vCard to .csv converters.
    When you search for it please use .csv instead of cvs, cvs is a drug store.
    Here's a free online converter that works well.

  • Is there a way to transfer address book GROUPS via iSync?

    I've trying to transfer my address book entries to my Nokia phone via iSync.
    They are nicely grouped on my Mac (after much manual labor), but do NOT show up grouped on my Nokia 6085.
    I tried creating a category on the Nokia corresponding to one on my address book but that didn't work either!
    Any workarounds? It's a nuisance on the Nokia to have to categorize each entry manually, one at a time!

    This worked for me:  On your Mac, open Address Book.  The "All Contacts" page should be on the left, which shows groupings for "On My Mac" and "iCloud".  If this page doesn't display on the left, click on the red "bookmark" at the top of the page to bring up the "All Contacts" page.
    You should be able to drag the groups showing under "iCloud" and drop them into "All on My Mac" under "On My Mac." 
    If you no longer want to see the "iCloud" contacts in your Mac Address Book, go to Address Book Preferences, then click on "Accounts", then click on the "iCloud" account, and then uncheck the box titled "Enable this account."

  • Can someone tell me if there is a way to sync address book, calendar and mail ONLY, no music from Itunes to Iphone 4s from my Imac G5, OS 10.5.8? I bought a 16 GB and have too much music and no icloud on my machine (or my ipod 5th gen)

    I was told I CANNOT only sync part of my music from  my Imac Itunes, and since I have an ipod and itunes with the music, I don't really need it on my iphone, but if I sync all the rest, is it going to sync the music too! It is too much data if it does!!  And did Icloud take the place of "mobile me". If so can that be used to get some music if I want to from my hard drive mac or ipod?

    You were told wrong. You can sync only what you want to sync.
    Yes, iCloud is taking place of Mobile Me over time. MM will be turned off in June of next year.
    With iCloud, you can store the music in the cloud and download the tracks that you want to listen to without having to sync to your iTunes.

  • If I'm reading a book on the iPhone and I want to pick up where I left off on my iPad, do I have to search for what page I was on on the iPad or is there a way to sync it?

    If I'm reading a book on the iPhone and I want to pick up where I left off on my iPad, do I have to search for what page I was on on the iPad or is there a way to sync it? Or do I just have to search for a string of text from my iPhone on my iPad?

    On both devices go to Settings>iBooks>Sync Bookmarks>On. Then when you want to quit reading on one device, tap the bookmark in the upper right corner and it will turn red. That marks your place. Close the book on the device now by tapping on the Library button in the upper left corner of the app. That will put the closed book back on the shelf. Tap the home button.
    On the other device, when you tap on the book, it should open to that page. You have to be connected to WiFi in order for this to work. You can read this older discussion for more information. I was involved in that as well.

  • Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars.  I am not running exchange server.

    Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars?  I am not running exchange server.

    hello,
    BlackBerry devices do not support ActiveSync.
    you have several ways, from best to less good :
    1)
    if your company has set up Outlook Web Access, you can use the BIS connection of your device to connect to the Exchange server (email + Address book) through the url of the Outlook Web Access. The OWA needs to be accessible from outside the company.
    2)
    if your company has setup an external link to the exchange server (can be accessible from outside the company), you can configure your BIS directly to the Exchange server (email only if I recall correctly)
    3)
    if your company allows it, on your PC you can setup your email account to automatically forward all incoming emails to a third party email (like GMail or Hotmail), and then configure BIS to connect to that email provider. You will get push email. You can then setup a reply-to: field.
    4)
    use a Windows Mobile phone that has the ActiveSync feature.

  • Is there a way to sync facebook events or a palm profile to iCal?

    i want to sync my facebook events into iCal so that i can have all of my events there in one convenient location. i also have the palm pre until iphone comes to my network. is there a way that i can sync my palm profile to ical so that i can get my calendar off of there also? any tips?
    also, is there any way to sync my facebook friends list or palm profile to the address book on my mac?
    Message was edited by: featherhead13

    Hello there,
    I found your question by looking for something similar regarding iCal and Facebook. I have figured out part of the answer:
    You can export your Facebook events into many other scheduling programs, such as Apple iCal, Microsoft Outlook, and Google Calendar. To do this, click the "Export" button that appears below the photo on any particular event‘s page, or go to the Events page and click the "Export Events" link to export all of your upcoming events. Save the events to your computer as an ".ical" file, and import the events using your preferred scheduling program. When exporting individual events, clicking the "Export" button may automatically import the event to your computer’s default scheduling program.

    HOWEVER, this did not work with Safari (which brought me here). I was able to do it with Firefox though.
    Let's see if it works for you.
    Sincerely,
    Luana

  • What is the simplest way to export Address Book into a spreadsheet (Numbers) and get all the information including physical address?

    Can anyone help with this?  I've exported the address book, but all the information does not appear.  I've expanded out the columns but still don't get the home address.
    Also, formatting is an issue with phone numbers.  Not all phone numbers were entered the same way in the Address Book.  Is there a way to change the entire column with a particular cell format?

    Oh, I meant Leopard does do more than Tiger Server.

    Is there a way to sync my google calander with my iPhone/iTouch with itunes as you can sync contacts? or atleast how can i sync my google calander with iCal?

    That's not how it should work.
    As paulsalter noted, you should add Google calendar to your iCal on the Mac and Calendar app on iPad.
    If you sync the iPad calendar with iTunes, it would only get updated when you sync it.
    If you sync it with Google calendar, the iPad and the Mac will both get updated when you update one.
    To add Google calendar to yrou Mac, see this  -> Get Started with CalDAV - Sync with iCal
    Then add the Google calendar to your iPad.

  • How to sync Address Book on MP with Contacts on iPhone

    iCloud syncs Contacts but not Address Book data. On my MP running 10.7.3 I have my old Address Book. On my iPhone I have Contacts. My iCloud account is set to sync Contacts but doesn't see the Address Book. I have addresses in Address Book on my MP that do not show up on my iPhone. Is there a different application called Contacts in OSX? Is there a way to sync the different programs?

    Address book is the lion version of contact. So there is no other app.
    To make sure I understand, on your iPhone, iCloud is activated with the contact sync on. On your Mac, iCloud is also activated with the contact sync on. Is that correct?
    If so, in the address book, did you correctly select the group iCloud ? Maybe you are looking at locally stored contact and they therefore don't get updated.
    If it isn't that, to help debug, go on www.icloud.com and log in and look at the contacts there to check if they are synced.

  • Sync Address Book with Yahoo Address book?

    Hi there,
    just wondering if its possible to some how sync Address Book with Yahoo Address book?
    That is... I have an elaborate Address Book setup on Yahoo, I'd like it so that if I use Yahoo Address Book and create/delete contacts that when I get home and use Address Book, Address Book syncs the contacts structure to the yahoo structure, without me manually intervening...
    Is this possible or is there a tool/widget that does this already?
    Thanks

    while looking for somehting else, i found something here in the discussions that might do the trick. it involves another web-based address book, but might work for you. try getting the plaxo address book plug-in, and then sync your yahoo contacts with plaxo, and then sync that with address book. i'm not sure of the order that would give you the best results, but i'm working on using plaxo as an online backup of my address book, as i will most-likely not be using plaxo otherwise.
    my concern for you would be whether one would write over the other, so back up your address book first, or even export the entire thing as a vcard file to your desktop, and then you can re-import and merge them... that way you can sync with your yahoo account, and then add whatever is already in your address book and merge whatever is necessary.
    search here in the discussions for the plaxo plug-in, and see if that sounds like it would work for you. the only issue i have right now is that it seems that the plaxo install has somehow affected my icalfix plug-in, but i'll look into fixing that this weekend, i'm sure i just need to move some plug-ins around.

  • How to sync address book from OS 10.7 to 10.6

    Is there any way to sync my address book from 10.7 to 10.6 ?  Is there a work-around?

    I actually found the solution on another page.  If I go into iTunes while my iPhone is plugged in, I just needed to click on the "Info" tab of iPhones in iTunes and then click on "Sync Address Book Contacts," since it wasn't checked after the upgrade.  Simple solution when you know what the answer is. 

  • Using 10.4.11 is there a way to sync two macs??

    Hello,
    I have a g4 1.5 gig 5,5 laptop and a tower g4 agp sawtooth accelerated computer. We have att with its wireless modem/router. I got things messed up with adding, deleting, altering documents, bookmars, address books etc. I'm wonder IF there's ANY program out there that would allow to sync (not clone) these two computers? I just signed up with mobileme, so I can sync bookmarks (on safari only) and address book BUT NOT files and folders. Is there a way to sync using the wireless modem OR firewire connection and reboot? A tech person mentioned one possibility ----intech 303-554-5555 data backup. But they haven't returned phone calls. Any info would be appreciated.
    PS I want to stick with Tiger because it apparently runs better on these older machines than does Leopard (thus timemachine is not available to me).
    Thanks

  • Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB to iPhone or iPad and permits only syncing by iCloud, which I don't want to use.  Any ideas on how to sync without using iCloud?

    Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB cable from my MacBook Air to my iPhone and iPad and permits  syncing only by iCloud.  Mountain Lion permitted this via the Info tab on iTunes.  I don't want to use iCloud.  Any ideas with Maverick on how to sync Address Book and Calendar from computer to iPhone and iPad without using iCloud?

    ymcneil - thanks for the work around. But isn't it amazing Apple forces us to do this to maintain our privacy.
    I live in Australia where there are good privacy laws protecting  citizens. I do not want to be forced to use iCloud when the data sits in  the USA with weaker privacy laws and also able to be seen by the US  Government under the Patriot Act. Further I suspect Apple will  interrogate my contacts and calendar for commercial purposes and I do  not want that either.
    I  chose to synch my calendar and contacts with my iphone and ipad. I have  relied for years on carrying around my phone with my diary on it. I can  no longer do that.
    Whoever  made this decision at Apple has to be someone who knows little about  the world. I can actually see EU regulators getting very annoyed by  this.
    I too woud like the itunes mac to iphone/ipad local backup given back.
    In the meantime - thanks for the work around
