.Mac does not sync address book's department field

Hi,
when performing a sync via .Mac on address book entries, the department field is not synchronized. This seems to be an pretty old story. This is a major issue if you reset you entries using .Mac information.
Any ideas, how to solve this problem?

No, not through iSync.
But if you do the built-in backup for AddressBook and you need to reset, you can restore from there and you will have all data back.

Ipod nano does not sync address book...

So, I got a nano for christmas and it rocks, but does not sync address book- I can drop the vcards into the addresses folder using the nano in drive mode, but when i try to sync through itunes i get an error message-' address book unable to sync because no addresses are available' Any clues how to keep the addresses updated without having to drag&drop everything into the addresses folder? thanks for any advice- h1

I also am having trouble syncing contacts and iCal. Worked fine on my last iPod for years. But the nano displays contacts and calendars about 50% of the time, and I never know if it's worked or not until I disconnect and start up my ipod. When it does sync contacts, it usually says it only has room for a portion of them, even though there's plenty of room on my iPod. I've restored the iPod many times, and that sometimes works for a while, but the problem always returns. A shame, because I love using my iPod for my calendar and contacts. Now I had to switch to my stupid phone because of how unreliable the iPod is proving. Fix this soon, please, Apple!

Iphone 5 does not sync address book

my new iphone 5 does not recognize or sync my mac address book through itunes when I connect the divice. I am opertating 10.8.2.. Any idea why?
Thanks

This is happening to me also. We have 5 devices -- iMac, iPad, MacBook Pro, and 2 iPhone 5's. All devices are in sync except for one of the two iPhones. It downloads from iCloud but will not upload (though it will occasionally). Today we went to an Apple store and was given a new iPhone to replace the one with "poor connectivity". It worked fine. BUT then I restored the iCloud backup and now it no longer uploads. So it is not the phone itself. It seems to be some software problem. -- Both phones are using IOS6 1.01

Then you may have to try manually resetting the syncservices folder by following Julian Write's post (from https://discussions.apple.com/message/9274781#9274781):
Ok, as you can't reset SyncServices in the "normal" way, you'll have to resort to the "other" way:
Although it's not advised to do so in normal circumstances, you'll need to manually delete the SyncServices folder.
Before doing so, you MUST make a backup of both your Contacts and Calendars:
In Address Book, choose *Export > Address Book Archive...* from the File menu.
In iCal, choose *Back up iCal...* from the File menu.
Then, make a backup of the SyncServices folder located at:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
By backing everything up first, you don't risk losing anything.
Finally delete the aforementioned SyncServices folder and restart the Mac. This will force Mac OS X to recreate the SyncServices folder, and hopefully fix your problem.
I believe in Snow Leopard you can back up your calendar in File>Export>iCal Archive rather than File>Back up iCal as posted above.

Why iCloud on my mac does not sync with my iPhone

Hey Guys/Gals
How come my mac does not sync with my iOS device.... When I send messages from my messages app on my mac it shows on my iPhone aswel... When someone trying to facetime me it will ring both my facetime on my mac and iPhone... Since this morning after the iCloud ****** up... My devices aren't syncing... Need help...

I believe this was stopped in a recent iTunes update to "force" users to sync the calendar on the Mac and the iDevice to iCloud.

Dot Mac not Syncing Address Book

Syncing won't replace web version of my address book with that from my desktop. I've done the replace from System Preferences, I've even deleted my web based .Mac contacts and then synced, but the old Address Book appears. How do I get the new contacts into .Mac?

You might benefit by activating advanced logging to see if that provides you any better diagnostics:

Depending on circumstances, this may be WAD (Working as Designed). All reconciliation is between the BB and your email service...there is no reconciliation between the BB and your PC. See this KB for reference:
KB05133Email reconciliation features for the BlackBerry Internet Service
If your email service is capable of reconciling, from the BB (via BIS), deleted items, then it is a matter between your PC and your email service. You've not said how you are accessing your email from your PC -- webmail, email client (e.g., Outlook, etc.), etc...the answer to that will tell you if you are seeing things as WAD or if things are amiss (since most email clients, Outlook for sure, cannot reconcile items deleted at the server back down to themselves).
Good luck!

Help..can not sync address book on macbook with iphone

not sure, but the iphone will not sync with the address book on my macbook, what am i doing wrong?
help
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you have never synchronized your Address Book before, you must first configure your computer to do so.
• launch iSync [that's right: iSync]
• open the Preferences… dialog
• check the Enable Syncing on this computer option
• launch the Address Book
• open the Preferences… dialog
• check the Synchronize my contacts with other computers using .Mac option
To synchronize events, you'll need to configure iCal in a similar manner.

Mail app. and Webmail .Mac don't sync Address Book properly

How does one go about making these 3 things Sync with each other correctly?
What I mean is this:
I have a lot of contacts with emails and such in my Address Book. I can access those with the Mail app. and I can send emails and keep on adding more info.
I use my .Mac account to supposedly sync and backup everything - so that when I happen to be away from my computer or if I want to surf it by webmail in to my account, I can -
however, when I access the address book inside my account in webmail, it's all jumbled up. A lot of the contacts have 2 copies of each, and then all the email addresses that I have been saving when I get new emails from new people within webmail it saves as a completely new contact.
This is getting tedious. Is there any way to make all these sync a little more coherently?
Thank you for your suggestions.

Sorry all, re my question above, since reading a response, from Winston Churchill, to another question I realise that I have two address lists on my iPhone (iCloud and On My Mac). They match each other and (MacBook)Address Book but don't match the Mail Contacts. Thanks, M

ITunes 7 not syncing Address Book with 2nd Gen Nano or 5th Gen iPod

I try to 'tick' the contacts, but it keeps saying "No contacts in your address book". Only there is - lots of them.
iTunes syncs everything else, including calendars, but refuses to sync contacts.
Any ideas?

Well, I've just had the OS re-installed for the third time and it appears to be working again. For now...

Imessage on Mac does not sync my Iphone contacts

Hi,
when I want to use Imessage on my Macbookpro, I cannot find the contacts that are on my Iphone. They do not appear in the "Contacts" although the Icloud option is on both on my computer and my Iphone. But it seems not to sync.
Can someone help me ?
Thank you

Hi,
Odd stuff first.
In the Contacts App > Card menu > Show My Card - is this your Info ?
Can you compare the Names that do show in Messages with those that do not in the Contacts App ?
For instance do the ones using Country Codes as part of the telephone Number Show up but ones that only use the local number (no Country code) do not ?
If this s the case check the System Preferences > Date and Time including the Time Zone as everything is time stamped.
Next go to the Messages app > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages Account > Details Button (you will be asked to sign in again).
Does this list the "right" Country or region (it is this that will add the county code to plain numbers and allow your Apple ID (or others) to work properly.
In System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab does it list DNS servers that are not on your LAN ?
Quite often it lists the router (192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x and occasionally 172.16.x.x through to 172.32.255.255) rather than external DNS servers.
It "should" show the ones the router lists in a greyed out form.
If not, copy the DNS servers across (from the router) or use Public ones.
If that does not work use th Finder > Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key and select the Library that appears.
Navigate to Preferences.
Find com.apple.iMessages.bag.plist and drag it to the Trash then Restart Messages.
This will force the app to reconnect to the iMessages Servers (and as there is a group of them you may well end up with a new server)
