ITunes not allowing sub group of Address Book to sync with new iPad

When i try to sync part of my address book from iTunes, it only allows my to sync all vs a particular sub group I have created. I had imported these contacts specifically for my wife's new Ipad and we prefer not to have the whole Address Book. Please advise

Oh flip what did i do.
So i followed the instructions from that link. I re did my address book. That did not seem to work. So i reset my sync folder by copying and pasting the recomended path into the moniter. now when i go to itunes and try and sync my contacts absolutly nothing goes onto my phone.
I am so frustrated and now a little worried.
Sound familiar at all???

How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2

How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2

Do you have any addresses in the Lion version?
If not, copy the AddressBook folder from your username/Library/Application Support/ folder on the old mac (or backup).
Copy it to the same location on your new Mac, replacing the one that is there. Start Address Book in Mountain Lion and it should convert the files to the correct format.
If you do have addresses, it is a little more complicated.
First, create a Contacts Archive (from File>Export menu). This will be your backup.
Next, export the current contacts as vCards.
Then, follow the steps above.
Then, import all the cards you exported. If you select all and double-click, it will ask if you want to add them. You'll then have to add them to whatever groups you had set up.

Suddenly ICal & Address Book stopped syncing with Outlook for Mac

2 days ago, ICal and Address Book stopped syncing with Outlook for Mac 2011. I still have full functionality of Email in Outlook.
What is wrong and how can I fix it?

Any solution here yet? I have the same issue. After upgrading to Yosemite Outlook for mac kept requiring me to "rebuild identity database"
I did this many times so there were many new identities.
Finally I researched and found out that after the Yosemite update outlook would rebuild identity and once you do that there is a mismatch of your email account in outlook which just needs to be deleted and re-added to fix.
Now since then my outlook contacts and apple address book do not speak to each other.
If I make a new contact on my iphone and sync with my mac it will appear in apple address book.
If I make a new contact in outlook it will not appear on the iPhone.
So the phone is communicating and syncing with apple address book but wherever the apple address book goes to find the outlook contacts it must be using one of the older "identities"
Also now when I am in outlook and go from email to contacts it takes about 20 seconds to open the 5,300 contacts and it used to be instant.
Is there a way to view where outlook is getting the data? When I go into Outlook Preferences, Sync Services, "On My Computer:" is the one that is chosen so that should be good.
Any help?

Not in category GROUP for Address Book?!

my understanding is that there is a bit of a bug in Lion where the not in address book category is not working.
does anyone know if this is fixable somehow?
i need to sort this data and i cannot do it if random entries (like the ones i put in on my phone) are not in a group and i cannot tell....
thanks

I set up my address book to synch with Gmail, and did "synch now" from the menu but the contacts aren't synching. I reset the synch log, took out the gmail account and adding it back in, and still no synching. Any ideas?

Address book/Contacts sync with Windows Mobile

Hi.
Curious if anyone has tried getting a Windows Mobile to wirelessly sync with Address Book Server and with iCal Server?
IMAP mail works great, but I have a client with mostly Windows Mobile phones and was wondering if there was a way to do this.
Thanks.

For a Windows Phone 7 you can use this http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/windows-phone-7-connector/id415571499?mt=12
For an 'older' Windows phone 6 this http://www.markspace.com/products/windowsmobile/mac/windows-mobile-sync-software .html

I can not get imac w/Snow Leopard's address book to sync with ipad 1correctly? I only get about half the contacts?

I have tried repeatedly to get my address book on my imac w/ snow leopard to sync to my ipad 1 correctly and have failed every time. I only get about 1/3 the number of contacts and they don't all even correlate with the ones on the imac. Like one will have full middle name and the other only the initial. I don't know where itunes is getting these contacts but doesn't match those in my address book. I keep telling itunes to replace the contacts on the ipad with those on my mac but it doesnt work. Can't do it with icloud cause snow leopard doesn't support, it still wants to use the non existant mobile me format. Hope someone can help. I added the all amnually once before but they screwed up when I sync each time.

Thanks for your response Ernie. You are correct in that whenever you type a series of letters, Address Book (as it always has) finds every single thing with that combination of letters - Names, businesses, adjectives, people's dogs' names, letters in product serial numbers, etc. This is useful for finding a subject on the Web, or finding all documents related to 'iPhoto' on your Mac, etc., but not useful, quick or convenient when trying to find one person to call in your Address Book (which is what people use Address Book for).
What is DIFFERENT in the Snow Leopard version, is that the ability to type one letter to instantly go to last names with that letter has been removed. Previously, you could easily find 'Bill Tilman' in one second by simply typing 'T'. Now you get every word that starts with T and all the words in the card that have a T in them. If you type out a full name like 'Bill', it finds every person named Bill. No one would ever want to find all their contacts named Bill to call them. You could type out the full last name 'Tilman', but there again you are forced to type out a complete name to do a search. It would actually be quicker to scroll down and find it manually. The ability to type a single letter to find the last name (or business name) of a contact you needed to call, was much quicker and easier than having to type out the entire name.

Address Book-cellphone sync with specific group

Hi
i have several groups in my addressbook and a razr(waiting for the iphone) and i synce only one group.
It syncs fine, but when i add a new phone in my cell and sync, it adds the new contact to the address book and not the specific group i indicated in isync.
is there anyway it can be added automatically to the group as specified in isync?
thanks in advance.

How do I have my iphone (3gs) override the desktop address book when syncing with iTunes?

My desktop address book is incorrect and I can't seem to restore it from time machine. My iphone contacts are correct. How can I have the iphone override the desktop address bookwhen I sync it with iTunes?

For some reason during the sync it finally asked me what to do about the conflict - it hadn't asked me before. So problem has been fixed. Thanks.

Mac os 10.7.5 address book stopped syncing with quickbooks

Quickbooks and Address Book used to sync. Then they stopped and nothing I try seems to work. Intuit says it is not a QB problem. Can this be solved?
By the way, I tried the latest version of QB2012 and the same problem continued.

That's freezing. iTunes keeps freezing, and I have to force quit to get things moving again. Sorry for the inaccuracy.

Address book wont sync with imac

Hi, Just picked up a new 3GS for the wife. The iStore transfered her contacts from her old Sony phone. Problem is when we try to access a contact on the phone it just closes that app and returns to the home screen.
I tried to sync it with our iMac via iTunes but it fails at the last stage and states that the address book is in use on the iPhone, also saying that the contacts must be closed (on the iPhone) and then try again.
I'm stumped. Any help would be great as I dont want to drive to our nearest iStore in B'ham to get it sorted.
Cheers, Jon

Address Book Contacts Disappeared with new App Installation

Hello! I would LOVE anyone who can help me resolve this issue!
Yesterday, thinking it was smart to have another place where all my contacts would be backed up, I downloaded the Plaxo App for Blackberry. After following the installation instructions the application synced with my blackberry curve, and then I pulled up my address book to call someone I realized ALL MY CONTACTS WERE GONE.
They were backed up in the application still, but if I wanted to call or text anyone the number was gone. Any incoming calls show up as random numbers not saved in my phone book as well.
The random thing now is that when I receive a call, the number just shows us the normal xxx-xxx-xxxx format without a name. But in my call history a "name" appears from my contacts. It seems they are still somewhere in my phone's operating system, but maybe the app was corrupted and now the path is gone?
Any help is appreciated!!!!! I already tried the Plaxo support directly and they told me to uninstall the application, which I did - which did not make my address book reappear.
Desperately yours,
Ashley

You’re welcome.
All you have to do is copy those files & folders from the backup to the location where they should be, replacing any files with the same name that may currently be there. Your home folder is /Users/username/. And you must first quit any applications that may access those files.
Things are more involved if you do any kind of synchronization, though. Actually that could be the reason your contacts disappeared in the first place. In that case, the procedure would be as follows:
1. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Address Book data is enabled either in Address Book > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
2. You may also need to reset the entire sync history (iSync > Preferences > Reset Sync History) to avoid synchronization issues if you use .Mac or iSync to synchronize your Address Book with other computers or devices.
3. Quit Address Book, Mail, and any other applications that might use Address Book for something. Or just quit all applications to be on the safe side.
4. In the Finder, copy the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist preferences file and the ~/Library/Application Support/AddresBook folder from the backup to the corresponding location within your home folder, replacing the files with the same name currently there. Alternatively, to avoid accidentally overwriting any files, you may first move to the Desktop the files that should be replaced and trash them after checking that everything is OK.
5. If your data has been successfully restored and .Mac synchronization of Address Book data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Address Book data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.

HowI get Address Book Server sync with clients?

I have just set up Lion Server on a macmini and am learning how to set it up. I cannot get address Book server to sync with client accounts.
The server is function is active. The users are properly set up, and the clients have been connected to the server and a Mac OSX Server Address Book created. I have also set up the address book on the Mac Mini with an OSX Server addresss book. It should show the same entries as the client and sync wherever changes are made. Not a sausage....nothing...... The little 'wheel' whizzes round and does......... you have got it........ nothing.
I thought this was easy to use?
Any help would be welcome.

Hi,
Yes the sync tool is a standalone utility (you don't need the outlook connector installed). I finally got around to installing/configuring the latest version (comm-suite-5 sync tool) against my 2005Q4 test install.
The addressbook server is the UWC address as I mentioned before but you also need to include the /uwc on the end.
So for my system I have the following setting:
local.sso.uwc.verifyurl = http://test-system.sun.com:82/uwc/VerifySSO?
This maps to a :
=> Address Book Server: test-system.sun.com/uwc
=> Port: 82
So in your case it would be:
local.sso.uwc.verifyurl = http://hostname:6788/uwc/VerifySSO?
=> Address Book Server: hostname/uwc
=> Port: 6788
Regards,
Shane.
