Looking for bright ideas for moving address book from MacBookPro that can't be upgraded from OS 10.5.8 (big bummer!) to iCloud and iPad2

Have you tried exporting the contacts from address book on your mac to your desktop and importing them into the iCloud contact file using the import command from the menu when you select the gear icon.

    Looking for a free iOS 4 app that can search through .pdf files or spreadsheet    
    Thanks

    Hey there
    "pdf creator" for iPad works flawlessly for me working with pdf files
    It takes care of all my needs
    I'm not sure about sending via Wifi or Bluetooth but I send them via e- mail all the time
    Possibly it could handle your needs as well
    Just type it into the App Store search field and the first one that comes up is the one I use
    Jump on over there and read up on it before buying and see if it will help you 
    Hope this helps

  • Looking for Thunderbolt 2 RAID Array options that can match the new Mac Pro's quietness -- or at least come close!

    Maybe it is too early to talk about anything beyond the Pegasus2 Series (http://www.promise.com/promotion_page/promotion_page.aspx?region=en-global&rsn=1 00) when it comes to Tunderbolt 2 storage options. Looking for something on the order of 8 to 12 usable TB of redundant storage or possibly a JBOD option of 4 bays. This is coming close but I do not think it is Thunderbolt 2 (http://www.g-technology.com/products/g-raid-thunderbolt).
    Either way -- looking for users experience not only on usable Thunderbolt 2 solutions but more importantly noisiness. I want to upgrade my existing Mac Pro to one of the new ones and I have found the old one to be nearly unnoticable in a quiet desktop environment. Would love to find the same peace and quiet when migrating to the new form factor that is going to need external storage to match what I have been used to inside the old Mac Pro.

    Not your quiet storage, but then I would put it in a cool closet or small room off to the side :-)
    http://www.macgurus.com/store/Item/ARC8050 ( I was assuming but maybe not, that it would support RAID6 which is always preferable for larger arrays. Seems to have most features you want for 8 drives). MacGurus "Burly" are never quiet but they are rugged and well tested.
    Migrating storage will be a concern. I don't like the noise from my older SATA OWC dual-drive metal enclosure though suppose to be 'acceptable' unless they have improved the fans they are out for me.
    OWC for Thunderbolt products.
    Helios enclosure (the new dual-slot Helios PCIe chassis)
    … moving various hard drives into Thunderbolt cases
    USB3 hard drive enclosure.
    For those without eSATA enclosures, a simple eSATA to USB3 adapter might do the trick.
    USB3 is plenty fast to house two hard drives.

  • Moving address book from PC outlook express to Mac address book

    What software or other magic do I need to get the address book with the group lists out of Outlook Express PC and into Mac's Address Book?
    Tried Thunderbird -- that didn't separate the groups of lists nor did it bring over all the information.
    Mac is an OS X 10.5.8

  • Looking for a  technical book copy editor who can work in FM10

    I'm getting close enough on the update of my (newly self-published) edition of my book that I need to find a copy editor.  I live in NYC so finding a copy editor is no problem, but since I'm writing the book in FM10, the easiest thing would be to find someone who can work directly in FM10.
    I'll likely need someone in late April, and it's about 450 pages and I'd need someone to turn it around relatively quickly.
    If you're interested, or know anyone who might be, please contact me using the contact form on my website:
    www.controlgeek.net
    Thanks!
    Really enjoying FM again (I wrote the last edition in it too)...

    If you haven't done so yet, consider your local STC community as a resource. Check http://www.stcnymetro.org to see if they have a way to contact someone locally that has the skillset you need.

  • I am having trouble trying to get my address book from my mac (just downloaded Lion for this purpose) to my 3G ipad. Set up an icloud account but still confused! Please help !

    I updated my mac with  os x Lion so that I could accomplish moving my address book from the mac to my new IPad 3G. I also set up an icloud account for this purpose, but I *still* cannot figure out how to move my address book from one computer to the other. When I'm on my mac and try to use bluetooth to export the address book, I'm able to find my ipad but I soon get a message that it does not support the necessary services. I have no idea what's going on and would appreciate any advice. tks in advance, Sarah

    The address book syncs via iCloud, not Bluetooth or iTunes.
    You upgraded to Lion so you could use iCoud.
    On the computer. go to Apple menu > System prefs > iCloud.
    Sign into your iCloud account.
    Tick everything.
    This enalbes the se items syncing to iCloud.
    On the iPad, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Create a new iCloud account.
    Sign in with the same AppleID as your computer.
    Settings > iCloud and turn everything on.
    BAM!
    That is all you need to do.
    Your contacts (and all other checked items checked) will sync between computer and iPad.
    No need to use iTunes

  • I am looking for a text to speech app that supports the Books App?

    I am looking for a text to speech app that supports the Books App?

    If Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> VoiceOver does not work, then it is unlikely iBooks will do text to speach on its own in the current version.
    <http://www.apple.com/feedback>
    I know that some competing services, Kindle, Nook, etc... are restricted in doing text to speach by the book publishers.
    If this is text in a PDF (not an ebook), then maybe there is another app that can to text to speach on PDFs.
    If it is published books that are of interest, there is Audible.com <http://www.audible.com/>
    In theory it should be possible to use the Mac OS X Text to Speach facilities to convert a document into an audio file, and they sync that to the iPod Touch.  I assume there is similar text to speach utilities for Windows systems.
    I'm also guessing that there are web sites dedicated to assisting sight impaired individuals that might provide ideas for getting text to speach options for the iPod Touch.

  • HT1351 My fifth generation nano will no longer sync my address book from my Mac. It gives me an error message that "You have no contacts" and asks me if I want to create some.  My address book is full of contacts. Sync works for everything else.

    My 5th generation nano will no longer Sync my address book from my Mac.  It gives me a message that I have no "Contacts", and asks if I want to create some.  My address book is full of contacts, but for some reason it thinks it is empty.  All the other sync operations work fine including iCal.  My Mac is running OS X 10.7.4.

    It sounds like all of your contacts on your Mac running Lion are actually stored up in iCloud. 
    Several users running Mac OS X Lion and now ML (and iCloud) have no longer been able to "sync" contacts over to their older iPods models.
    A work around is to export all of your contacts out of Address Book as vCards and them copy these vCards into your iPod's Contacts folder.  You'll need to have the Enable Disk Use option ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in order to browse out to the iPod's Contacts folder via the Finder.
    Using your iPod as a storage drive
    That's the only "solution" I have been able to use to get contacts to sync/appear on my 5G iPod Video.

  • Secure LDAP for GWIA Address book

    I've setup the GWIA 7.0.3 May 2009 code set and configured for Secure LDAP.
    I'm using the same *.b64 and *.key files we use for all our POA and MTAs.
    I cannot get the Novell LDAP address book to connect to 636.
    Is there a document I can use to help me figure this out.
    I can revert to 389 but that port is not open through the firewall.

  • Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is.

    Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is to do so.  Putting my Mac Pro onto icloud synching contacts resulted in duplicate and triplicates of the same cards.  I have a few THOUSAND contacts and the last time this happened was on mobile me.  that had a function where you could replace info on the mobile me server with info on the computer.  I see no way to do that on the new cloud.

    In the stupidly hidden user's Library->/Application Support/AddressBook/ labeled as AddressBook-v22.abcddb
    For TM restores, see Pondini's TM FAQs for starters, since I don't use TM.

  • Wireless Sync on/off for Outlook address book

    Can I ask a piggy back question to the Outlook sync?  I am trying to sync my address book from my phone to my Microsoft Outlook and it won't let me because it says I have addresses set to wireless.
    Then I follow the instructions given and I cannot get the wireless setting for contacts/addresses turned off.  Please help!!

    In order to resolve this I am going to need a little more information from you.  Are you on an enterprise server now?  How do you sync your address book now (wired or wireless)?  Also, you can get many of these common troubleshooting steps resolved here.  Please repost answers for further assistance.  Thank you.

  • Looking for email address stripping code

    Hiya,
    I'm looking for a piece of CF code that strips email
    addresses from a string. It needs to be smart, so that various
    patterns can be detected and stripped.
    Ex: [email protected], email at domain dot com, email@ domain
    .com, email at domain.com, etc....
    Does anybody know if somethng like this already exists?
    Thanks.

    Ahhh. so you filter the postings to remove their attempt to
    circumvent the sharing of email addresses? Got it.
    All I can say is, good luck to ya. If people want to share
    that kind of information, they will! Just out of curiosity, why
    would you even attempt to prevent people from sharing their very
    own contact information? Note that I am not arguing, rather curious
    about what valid reason anyone would have for attempting to prevent
    people from doing what they want with their own information.
    What I might suggest is.... Since you probably have their
    email address on file from when they registered (at least one of
    their email addresses anyway) you should be able to do an
    intelligent search for strings that are similar to the email
    address that you have on file. So, as opposed to starting with
    *nothing* and looking for things that *might* be an intentionally
    obfuscated email address, you are least starting with
    *something*.

  • I keep getting a 'Looking for backup disc' message from my  Time Capsule.

    I keep getting a 'Looking for backup disc' message from my  Time Capsule. I have set it up several times without any apparent problems (I have even done a Hard and Factory reset). Everything seems fine until I ask Timemachine to 'back up', and then the problems start.
    Any ideas?

    I had the exact same problem. I bought the Time Capsule this past July and it worked fine for about a month then it told me it hadn't backed up in 10 days and was stuck looking for the backup drive. I called Apple and they said the reason was that the Time Capsule was in Bridge mode. I launched Airport Utility and sure enough, it was. I changed it to DCHP and NAT (Airport Utility -> Network tab -> Router Mode). After updating the Time Capsule, I couldn't even get on the Internet, let alone do a backup. A logged into the software for my cable modem and discovered that it too was in Bridge mode.
    It turned out (for me) that neither should be in Bridge mode (which is for connecting two networks). Your cable modem only has one IP address. Your Time Capsule should be doing the NAT (Network Address Translation) which translates the internal IP addresses on your network to the one IP address your cable modem has. When I switched my Time Capsule to DHCP and NAT, it conflicted with the fact that the cable modem was also trying to do this. The answer was to turn this off on the modem (allowing all the packets to just go through the modem to the Time Capsule and let IT do the NAT). I did that last week and since then, my Time Capsule has been working perfectly.
    1) Go to your cable modem (via a browser, enter "http://192.168.100.1"). Log-in and find the setting that indicates NAT. If you're uncomfortable doing this or can't find it, call your cable company and ask Tech Support to do it for you. They can do it remotely.
    2) Launch Airport Utilty. Go to the Network Tab and change the router mode to "DHCP and NAT".
    3) You may need to restart your modem and Time Capsule. I can't remember if I had to or not.
    I hope this helps. I tried many things but this is the only solution that fixed it for me. And it makes sense. Only one device, the cable modem or the Time Capsule, can be doing the NAT.
