ITunes sync doesn't recognize changed groupes in Address Book

iTunes sync doesn't recognize changed groupes in Address Book. What to do?
I've cleared All Contacts on the iPad2 so it is blank now. I want to sync just a particular new group which is the combination of two former groupes which didn't sync correctly.

To be more clear (in hopes you can get it to work!) :
Under Mail -> Preferences -> Composing
1. Be sure to CHECK the box that says autocomplete addresses under the Addressing heading.
2. Quit Mail and restart.
If that doesn't work then I would suggest quitting Mail and trashing the Preference file (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist). Then restart Mail and make sure the box is checked as above and restart Mail. Note that all preferences will be reset to the default and you may need to reconfigure Mail the way you like it. You can always drag the plist file back and restart Mail.app to restore your previous settings.

Mail doesn't recognize contacts from my address book

After installing snow leopard it seems that the Mail application doesn't recognize names that are in my address book. For instance when I start a new email, I will start typing a name in the "to" field, where it used to guess the contacts name it no longer does this. I have about 1800 names in my address book, do I have to introduce these to the mail application one by one in order for it to recognize them?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Syncing Smart Groups from Address Book

Spent a lot of time creating a smart group in address book, only to find that iphone sync doesn't recognize "Smart Groups", only regular groups. Maybe the engineers can write some script to fix this little bugaboo to have the sync software recognize smart groups from Address Book and place them in the box so that the user can select the smart group and not have to sync the whole address book. Thanks.

Yes. Please. It would be great if the syncing of smart groups were to be added. Right now with the large amount of address' I manage for business, it's important that I see the same groups on my iPhone.
Please add.

Changes made in address book not reflecting in itunes sync

I have made a bunch of changes to the groups in address book. removing groups, renaming groups, etc. When i try and sync contacts to my iphone in intunes, those changes aren't reflected. what can i do?

Hello,
Check to see that there if there is also an entry in the Previous Recipients directory. Click on Window in the menubar, and choose Previous Recipients. Any you want to remove, just highlight and click Remove.
More info, please.

I have a big problem. I lost my other device, and Sync doesn't recognize my Recover Key, even if I generate a new one. What to do? I have all my bookmarks there

''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/934696 - locking''
The Sync doesn't recognize my Recovery Key ("Wrong Recovery Key") even if I generate a new one. What to do?

If you have generated a new Recovery Key, then unfortunately the account data that you had before is gone (Sync will wipe all data before creating a new key to ensure it stays secure). So unfortunately at this point, unless you have a backup of your data somewhere, it is inacessible.

ITunes Connect doesn't recognize iBooks update

Hi,
I'm trying to update an eBook (created with iBooks Author, .iba format) to the 1.2 version.
I follow all the steps correctly with iTunes Producer, it finished uploading and I hear the signal and see the window saying that everything went good.
But after that, nothing happens, iTunes Connect doesn't recognize any update so it turns out I have a book out of control.
It's very strange, as 3 weeks ago I updated another different book and I didn't have any problem.
Is there is something wrong with Apple Servers? Am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I've contacted Apple by phone yesterday and they told me ther was a problem when creating the EIN.
In fact, we gave them the name of our company with spaces while they wrote them without spaces.
So Apple didn't understand why it wasn't the same.
They told me it surely be good in a few days.
Just have a look at it first.
Thanks

I added a group to Address Book, but it doesn't show up in Mail addresses. Why?

I added a group to Address Book, but it doesn't show up in Mail's addresses. Why? In the past, any groups I added to Address Book or changes I made in Address Book showed up in Mail's addresses, but not this time.

Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

Smart Groups in Address Book not syncing to Contacts

I have a couple of Smart Groups in Address Book on my primary Mac, and I sync Address Book with Contacts on my iPhone 4 through MobileMe.
Today, I noticed that, under Groups in Contacts on the iPhone 4, these Smart Groups do NOT show up. How can I make these Smart Groups on the Mac to sync and show up in Contacts on the iPhone 4?

I just found an answer myself: https://discussions.apple.com/message/4902780#4902780

"Smart Groups" in Address Book not syncing to the iPhone

"Smart Groups" in Address Book not syncing to the iPhone
Normal Groups sync but smart groups do not.
Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix?
Thanks.

This same concept applies to syncing two macs via .Mac
The method I use for iPhone is this.
Define your smart group as needed.
Define a read group with a similar or convenient name.
From time to time drag your whole smart group to the real group.
The real group is the one that then syncs to your iPhone.
As a safety factor, I usually clear all entries from my real group before I drag over the updated smart group.
Anyway, this is simple and works well.
Hope that helps.

How do i sync Outlook for Mac contacts with apples address book ???

How do I sync outlook for Mac 2011 contacts with Address book. I updated the itunes or apple updates and it erased my contacts from the address book. I did have is set up where the they automaticaly updated back and forth but now I can not find how to check this. Bottom line I want my contacts back to address book. ??????? anyone.

Outlook for Mac doesn't support contact (or calendar) syncing with iCloud because Microsoft chose not to include the CardDAV (and CalDAV) protocals that are required (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915). You'll have to use the OS X Address Book (Contacts) app to sync with iCloud.

Smart Groups in Address Book Do Not Update

I use Smart Groups in Address Book in Lion. It has worked great before the upgrade to Lion. Now when I create an entry with the proper fields to activate the entry go to a Smart Group. It doesn't. I have compared the parameters and compared with other addresses with the same parameters and still no update of the Smart Group.

Color code groups in address book

Is there any way to color code groups so that when mail comes in I know to associate it with a specific group. I was able to do this in entourage but have switched to apple mail.

As already described, create a new Rule in Mail.app (Mail -> Preferences -> Rules), that reads:
if (ANY) of the following conditions are met:
(Sender is member of group) (xxxxxxxxx)
Perform the following actions:
(Set Color) (Of Background (or text as you prefer) to (Any color you wish)
Save the rule.
Before doing that, you might want to create a few Groups (or Smart Groups) in Address Book with the people you want to color.
Hope this helps.

How do I isolate a group in address book - or other solution

History: I used my MAC to print Christmas card envelopes and wanted them to be addressed as "The Smith Family" but I do not want the original contact card to read that way. I set up a new "group" that was my Christmas card list and copied all the addresses over but, when I change the name it changes it in all groups.
Is there any way to isolate a group within address book so I can keep a different name on the same card?
If not, is there a field or way that I can print a different name than what is on the v-card? Another annoyance is that I used the "children" field but, when I printed an envelope it added them tot he end in a senseless fashion. I had to move all "family" information to the general comments.
Thanks in advance.

There is only one set of data for each contact. A group is, effectively, a list of contacts, rather than a copy of a set of contact data. When you change a contact's details in a group you are making the change in the only copy of the contact's data.
One suggestion for address labels recently was to put eg The Smith Family in the company field, and at Christmas time run quickly through the cards marking the company flag - this could be easily automated in Applescript.
Even though it goes against the grain to have multiple copies of information, I keep the details for Christmas cards in a separate Excel spreadsheet. Address Book I use for email addresses and phone numbers.
