My computer has been infected with a Trojan Horse. It has completely taken over my Mac email account and was sending out malicious email to everyone in my address book. At the same time it infected my iPhone---I am no longer able to receive or send emai

My computer has been infected by a Trojan Horse. It has taken over my Mac email account and began sending out malicious emails to everyone in my address book. I cleared out my MAC address book and began using my AOL email account. It took a few days and then my AOL email account was infected and has now been send out malicious email to all my contacts for over a month. It has also infected my iPhone--I am no longer able to send or receive emails on my iPhone. Also, once the Trojan Horse began using my AOL email it completely blocked me from using my MAC account by sending never ending popups asking for my email password to access my MAC email account, but it never accepts my pass word. The TH has also slowed down everything on my computer. It's like I am working on an old PC with dial up connection instead of the high speed digital connection that I have. The little color wheel spins constantly as I wait for sometimes over a minute for a page to pull up. If it pulls up at all. I have tried to use the 2 disks that came with my computer to completely remove everything on my computer and then reinstall all the programs, but I am not allowed to sweep my computer clean. I thought maybe my disks that came with my computer were defective so I called Apple and they sent me 2 new disks. I am not able able to clear my computer with the 2 new disks either. I have done this before successfully so it's not something new to me. I do remember when I believe my computer became infected: I had googled an unusual sewing term, and I was opening what appeared to be legitimate sites, when all of a sudden a pop up appeared that said that my computer had been infected. I immediately shut my computer off, but it was too late. I downloaded a virus program for Mac, and it has never found a virus or problem at all. I think it is part of this Trojan Horse, but I am unable to delete it from my computer. It refuses to uninstall. The Mac Trojan Horse is real and it is terrible. If anyone has any suggestions for me I would be very appreciative,

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

Lost all my contacts in Mac address book. Tried syncing my iPhone/iPad contacts to Mac via iTunes and is not working. Please help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unless you have the contacts backed up somewhere, you won't be able to restore them.
You and your son should have your own iCloud accounts then you can keep your own contacts and calendars etc and avoid deleting each others.

Address Book images not syncing via .Mac sync

i recently decided to get serious about attaching images to my contacts in address book. the images sync perfectly with the iphone, but they dont sync at all between the other copies of address book on the various macs in my home. the addresses (text) sync just fine -- but not the images.
what am i missing, here?

I had the same problem. My Mac's address book (including images) were synced via Missing Sync from my Windows Mobile phone. None of the images transferred to the iPhone. I then went into each Address Book entry and manually resized the image (edit, dc on the image and drag the slider to resize the image) and then resynced. Now all is perfect!
One side note- if you assign a contact image on the Mac or PC and sync to the phone, the image is shown in a small thumbnail on the top line of the phone when that person calls, etc... If instead you assign a photo on the iPhone itself using the "select current photo" option, then the photo is shown full screen instead of thumbnail! I copied all of my "CallerID" photos to an iPhoto photo album, synced that album to the phone, then manually assigned a photo to a contact on the phone and now they are full screen. Very cool!

When I try to open my Address Book from Finder, it says :You can't use this version with this version of Mac OS x. I have Address Book 5.0.3 and Mac OS X 10.7.5 What should I do to get my Address Book back???

Unless you deleted Address Book 6, or restored from a backup made before you upgraded to Lion, Address Book 6 should be on your disk somewhere. Try to find it with spotlight or by browsing likely folders with Finder. Also check Trash. If you find other Address Books, using Quick View or Get Info in Finder should show the version number.
Have you ever moved Address Book out of the Applications folder, either before or after you upgraded to Lion?
If you can't figure out how this happened in the first place, I would be worried that other OS X utilities are similarly affected.

Desktop Manager fails to synch with Yahoo Address Book on my 8300

I have been synching both Yahoo Address Book and Yahoo Calendar successfully for months. Suddenly, Address Book no longer synchs. Yahoo calendar still works. The problem occurs aftew Desktop reads all the contacts. It halts while "Synchronization Progress...reading from Yahoo Address Book" displays. That message has displayed for up to an hour with no progress. I then disconnect and halt Desktop. I can still synch Yahoo Calendar. I have not updated desktop or device software. Anybody have any suggestions?

No Sync with Yahoo Address Book Workaround:
Work Around for Blackberry to Yahoo Sync when Address Book Sync Gets Stuck:
I've had the Address Book on my Yahoo Sync hang on two different occasions. The first time was late 2009 and the second was late Jan 2010. The first time the problem fixed itself. This time, no such luck yet. So if you are having the same problem, here's a work around that will allow you to update both your Yahoo and Blackberry Contacts and keep them in sync.
Step 1: From Yahoo, EXPORT your contacts to Windows Contacts (I did this in Vista and it also works for Windows 7 -- it should also work for XP, but the export may be a different expension). You will want to export using the 'vCard, Zip of .VCF files'. his will create a zip file of all your contacts with in the vcard format: (.VCF)
Step 2: Some manual labor in this step, but you will only have to do it once OR you can try a .vcf to .contact file converter program like:
http://www.vcardconverter.com/ that will cost you 19.95. Open each contact in the zip file. It will show you the contact data and there will be a button that you can click to ADD TO MY CONTACTS. Do this for each contact in the exported zip file. Or but the program.
You now have your Yahoo Address Book converted over to Window Contacts.
Step 3: In the Blackberry Desktop Manager change your synchronization setting for your address book from Yahoo to 'Window Address Book/Mail'. Leave the Calendar, MenoPad, and Task to sync with Yahoo. So you should have:
Calendar sync to Yahoo
MemoPad sync to Yahoo
Address Book sync to Windows Address Book/Mail
Task sync to Yahoo
Step 4: You now can perform a sync to you Blackberry Device. (But read the notes below first)
SOME IMPORTANT NOTES:
This allows you to get your contacts into your Blackberry and to sync them with your Windows Contacts. You can make this a three way sync where you also keep your Windows Contacts and Yahoo Address Book in sync. It just adds an extra sync. NOTE: If you are going to do this then pay the 20 bucks and buy the program above or find a program to convert .contact files to vcf (vcard) files. I've decided to buy the program above because it allows me to import and export all the contacts at one time, which is what you will need to use the import / export tools in Yahoo Contacts
I did the sync of the address book in steps. I was lucky / unlucky because I tried to do a Blackberry software upgrade that failed and it wiped out all of my contacts, calendar, tasks, and memos; so when I did my first sync, I when only from the Blackberry Desktop Manager to my Blackberry. I then changed my sync to be a two way sync. I only mention this because I don't know if going from Windows Contact to Blackberry would create duplicate entries in your Blackberry and Windows Contact Manager. Maybe someone can check this out and post. Anyway, I would suggest trying the sync with only a few contacts to check it out.
You don't need to worry about the folder that the Blackberry Desktop Manager will store the contacts. It assumes the 'Contacts' folder on you machine. As far as I could tell, there was no way to change this destination anyway.
ALTERNATIVE APPROACH:
If I was to do this all over, and I had my contacts still on my blackberry, I would most likely do the following (in theory):
Step 1.
Change the sync for contacts to be with Windows Address Book, not Yahoo.
Step 2.
Sync the contacts so they would appear in the Windows Contacts.
Step 3. Then worry about syncing Windows Contacts with Yahoo (see above)
Good luck,

Mac Address Book doesn't sync nor accepts manual edits

My Address Book can't be edited on my Mac anymore: no manual edits are saved on any contact. After changing something, and clicking "save", the card automatically returns to its previous state.
In addition, I found I couldn't edit my contacts on iCloud because of "a server error". After a few tries I could edit a contact. But those changes are not reflected on my Mac aftrwards.
R.

Yes, now I have one. It's an iCloud syncing error, and it wipes your edits on your Mac everytime.
This is what I did to fix it.
1. Make a backup of your Address Book, using the vCard option (or both, it doesn’t hurt). Save it for later.
2. In System Preferences -> iCloud, turn Contacts off. I chose “keep on My Mac” those contacts, but nevertheless I got an empty Address Book after a while. And a few minutes later, iCloud contacts were empty and my iPhone also. It is scary at first! Now, before importing that vCard backup…
3. Turn Wi-Fi off. This is important, since your contact-empty iCloud will attempt to wipe your Address Book from your Mac just seconds after importing.
4. Import your vCard backup to Address Book. Just drag it to your blank Address Book window; it asks if you want to import “x” number of cards. Of course, say yes.
5. Turn Wi-Fi on, and then iCloud contacts on again (System Preferences -> iCloud). It will offer to merge your newly populated Address Book with iCloud (which is empty at this point). It should upload every single contact to iCloud, and then to your iDevices. If not, a fifth step would be to import the vCard file to iCloud, but it shouldn’t be necessary.
Hope it helps.

Desktop Manager wants to delete contacts from Address Book

I have been using Desktop Manager for Mac's since it became available. When I go to sync my Storm it adds the contacts to my address book that are new to the phone, but it wants to delete 129 Contacts from my address book. For the life of my I can't seem to figure out why or how to agree to add the new contacts, but NOT delete any from my address book.
Any suggestions?
Yes, I have done the wipe, the backing up, the ticking of delete all info from device, but having to go through all of these things EVERY time I go to sync defeats the purpose.

@STATMAN
I followed all of the steps. Searched my hard drive for anything related to Missing Sync and DM. I deleted all files. Trashed, emptied trash, reset sync services, repaired permissions. Restarted, re-downloaded, installed and still the same thing. It doesn't allow me to sync while "replace all contacts on device" is ticked. Desktop Manager will not allow me to"clear data" from the phone.
After my last sync... I have 322 entries of the same contact on my phone. Looks like I have to do yet another wipe.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Address book and calendar sync from Mac to Google

Hi,
I have a HTC Desire phone and wish to sync my Contacts and Calendar items to it via Google.
I have pulled my Address Book and Calendar from my old p1i phone on to my old Power Book and exported these. I have then imported these onto my Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard.
I now want to sync these up to a Google account.
In my address I have ny contacts and also my girlfriend's. I wish to sync only my Contacts up to Google. Is this possible?
I have tried configuring iCal to sync with Google via calDAV but I am not seeing my Calendar entries in Google (or a way of doing a manual sync from Mac -> Google)
Apologies if these questions have been asked and answered previuosly.

Contacts and Mac OS Address Book won't sync anymore

I have an iPod touch, 2nd generation, with iOS 4.2.1, which has worked perfectly well for years.
Since I got an iPad 2 with iOS 5.0.1, and iTunes 10.5.1, and set up iCloud, and synced the iPad to my Mac, now my iPod touch will no longer sync any address book entries between iOS Contacts and Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion's Address Book.
I've tried restoring the iPod touch to its factory-fresh setting and syncing with the Mac. I've tried rebuilding the Mac OS Address Book index, and repairing permissions on Mac OS X. Nothing seems to help.
Another clue is that the iPod touch Contacts stopped syncing at 512 Contact entries, while the Mac's Address Book had 521 entries. I think 512 is a suspicious number; is it an upper limit on entries that sync with iTunes and Address Book?
Any help would be appreciated.

The messaget is correct, that is, your iCloud calendar will no longer be on your Mac as long as you are signed out of iCloud. Your calendars will still be on you iPhone and on iCloud. After syncing your contacts to your iTouch, you then sign back into iCloud on your Mac and everything will be back as it was before you signed out. I did it on my Mac and have all my calendars and contacts as well as my wife's iTouch has all calendars and contacts.
You seem to be concerned about losing data, which is a valid concern. Do you back up your Mac using Time Machine? It is a great resource installed on the Mac to assure that if you commit any errors that resutls in the loss of data, then you can easlily restore it via Time Machine. If you have not been backing up your Mac then consider doing it. The Apple Store sales personnel recommended to me the LaCie Storage devices since they easily interconnect with the Mac. A Google search will find them at competitive prices as compard to what Apple charges. I am so paranoid about losing data that I have three separate 1TB LaCie drives backing up my Mac. I will be installing a forth as a network backup drive for my wife's Mac and my MacBook Air.

List of email clients/address books that will sync with palm desktop 6.2

Is there (and if not, I think there should be) a list somewhere of email clients whose address books will sync with a palm Treo (palm Desktop version 6.2)? I have been happily using various palm handhelds for about 6 years now and have been syncing the address book with Mozilla and now Thunderbird for the last couple years. I currently have an m130, but it's time to upgrade to a "smart phone" as I'm tiering of carrying around two devices. Unfortunately, the Treo requires palm Desktop version 6.2 which is not compatible with the Thunderbird palm sync. I have had the idea that Outlook (which I've never used or been exposed to) will sync with palm, but something I read gave me the impression that I would need to buy some third party software to make that happen, plus the $110 they want for Outlook. I would like to think there are other choices for someone who just wants to sync their smart phone with their email client's address book. It seems that such syncing ability would be esential to palm's sales and that a listing of all such syncing possibilities would be extremely beneficial to sales, particularly for new sales to people aren't already insiders on this sort of topic. The lack of ability to sync with Thunderbird may just cause me to stick with my old m130 awhile longer and give up on the idea of a nice new smart phone.

View Solution.

Wow, thanks a bunch! You just saved me from a long, involved, and discouraging search for an alternative. I'm using WindowsXP, palm m130, palm desktop 4.1, Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 and Thunderbird's palm sync conduit palmsync-2.0.0.x-wsm . I'm wanting to purchase a Treo 700 on ebay, but went to the palm site, clicked on the support link, then the Treo 700, then the downloads tab and it directed me to desktop 6.2, which made me believe I would have to use that to sync a treo 700.
I do wish that both palm and Thunderbird would talk more about the palm Thunderbird palm sync. Unless you're a real geek or very determined (I'm the later), you're not likely to find out that such capability exists. I can't believe I'm the only one out there who needs to have my email client address book contacts with me all the time, so there has to be others who are looking for this.
Next stop, ebay - I have a smart phone to buy.

.mac address book doesn't sync to mac book address book

thanks in advance.

figured it out myself. All I needed to do was be patient.

Palm Desktop 6.2 Installation - NO contacts, address book, etc. after HotSync - help!

I am trying to transfer the data on my Palm TX to a new install of Palm Desktop on a Windows 32-bit OS. Everything seems to sync OK (no error messages) but the Palm Desktop does NOT show any of these major categories. I only get options for pictures. Has anyone experienced this and have a fix?
Note - All this information is on the handheld unit but does not seem to transfer and the desktop application doesn't even show options for the address book, etc. I've tried to change the sync settings so that the handheld overrides the desktop on the sync, but this doesn't help..
Post relates to: Palm TX

reb1 is correct - downloadable versions of Palm Desktop do not have the Expense app in them.
6.2.2 will work on XP, but why use it? It is less-capable than the 4.x versions.
(If you need 6.2.2 to upgrade to a webOS phone, I can understand the need!)

Address book won't sync with mac

I know several people have had similar problems and I have tried their fixes but this problem isn't quite the same either.
I have 2 iphones both 3G (one with a broken screen!) and I want to sync new address book data with G5 for new phone BUT....iphone (with broken screen) has "all contacts" (with duplicates etc but I'll sort that later) and "From my mac" and "mobile me" as groups. However the mac only has the "from my mac" ones. which means there are a difference of around 100 contacts essentially stuck on the iphone in the "mobile me" and "all contacts" groups neither of which appear on the address book on the mac. These contacts are not syncing with mobile me either so can't sync that way.
It seems this is the opposite problem to most as my info stuck on my iphone not on my mac!
Realise I am using old OS which means that mobile me doesn't work fully. But iphone / itunes software up to date. Have tried variouses isync fixes inclusinf resetting sync data with no luck.
Any thoughts much appreciated.

I hope its OK to join my problem to this Post...
I have a very similar problem, where all my contacts were delete from my computer Address Book and transfered (not sync) to the iPhone.
Is there a fix...
Thanks

IPhone contacts and Mac address book don't sync

If I add an entry on the phone and later sync with the mac the new entry doesn't show up in the Mac address book. If I delete a contact on the Mac address book it doesn't delete on the iPhone.
I have the right choices made (at least I think I do) in itunes under "info".

Not without syncing on connection via USB.
As you have an iPhone 3G you cannot install iOS 5 and make use of iCloud.
iCloud would update entries you make on one device appear on the other.
For iCloud you need a device on iOS 5 and 10.7.2 for your Mac.
