Managing pesonal AND Corp/push address book and calendar.

I have read through several pages of postings and not found anything on this, and I can't be the only one impacted by this...
I connected to my corp email server today, and to my surprise all my personal contacts AND my personal calendar were both wiped out. I expected them to merge... or at a minimum a "sure you wanna do this" but neither just gone.
I understand you can't have Mobile me AND Exchange sync since those are both over the air...but can't I have all my work data sync in real time and my personal calendar and address book just sync when I connected to sync my itunes library since those don't change much? Surely... you can have two calendars (or at least two views?) and lists of contact's- can't you??

FYI My personal contacts and calendar are in "address book" and "ical"... if you couldnt guess that.

  • Sync to Entourage and Not Mac Address book and ical HELP

    The isync database, as I called it, is really just the master database from which ical, address book, bookmarks, etc., are stored, and it's used for syncing with the .mac service. Entourage can sync with it too, just go to the Entourage menu, choose Preferences, and look under General Preferences for Sync Services. Then check the boxes you want -- I just wanted the contacts to be the same in Entourage and Address Book so I only checked that one. The calendar is kind of funky because iCal uses separate calendars to group events, and I think if you check that box, iCal will then get a new calendar called Entourage, or something like that, in which all the Entourage events will go to and from. That is, I think Entourage will sync only with that iCal calendar, but I could be wrong about that since I don't use it.
    Once you check the contacts box, Entourage will populate with all the contacts in your Address Book, and I think if you don't already have contacts there (that is if you've only been using Entourage for your contacts) then it will ask you if you want to put all your Entourage contacts into Address Book. I just don't remember.
    Surely someone else out there is more familiar with this, but it should get you started.

  • HT4489 How can I synchronize contacts between Apple Address Book/iPhone address book and Outlook (I'm on Mac OX10.7.4 and using Office 2011)?

    I appear to have done what I should to move to iCloud on my Mac, MacbookAir, iPhone and iPad.  Using Outlook 2011 on the iMac and unable to sync contacts between Outlook and my Apple Address Book and iPhone over the cloud.  I gather lots of people have the same problem but some appear to have solved it... any ideas?
    Also, in some sync, I managed to duplicate the entries on the Address Book on my Mac, whereas the iCloud Address Book is ok.  How can I replace the Address Book on my computer with the one on iCloud?
    Thank You for any help!

    Hi Lucy, I had the same problem with Outlook data sync. Once you've enabled iCloud all your contacts are moved to iCloud and are no longer stored on Mac, that's why Outlook cannot reach them - there is simply nothing to reach as data physically stored in cloud.
    I use SyncMate to solve this problem. This app allows connecting and syncing numerous devices and accounts with your Mac and they have recently added iCloud into this list (here the page where they describe sync with iCloud http://www.sync-mac.com/cloud-sync.html ).
    This is how I established sync of my Outlook data with iCloud via this app.
    1. SyncMate syncs only that data which is located on your Mac so you will need to move your contacts back to Address Book on mac from iCloud and disable iCloud for contacts (in order they were stored on Mac, not in iCloud).
    2. You install SyncMate and add iCloud as a new connection (depending on data you want to sync you need to choose "Cloud contacts" or "Cloud calendars" connection in SyncMate wizard and log into your iCloud via SyncMate). Once you've done this, you can sync data on Mac with iCloud via SyncMate.
    3. I may assume that automatic sync option is enabled in Outlook preferences (as previously your contacts on Mac were synced with Outlook). If no - please, enable it (got to Outlook preferences).
    4. Once all this done, data will be automatically synced betwen Outlook and iCloud (latter via SyncMate). The trick of SyncMate is that data is physically located on your Mac (thus ensuring it will be synced with other devices and accounts SyncMate supports, as I said before, SyncMate works with data which is located on Mac), but you still can have it in iCloud (sync will be performed via SyncMate, no need to enable iCloud itself).
    5. And of course, you will be able to sync your iPhone contacts with your Mac (SyncMate supports sync with iPhones also). These contacts will be also synced to Outlook.

  • How to sync contact list and yahoo contact list and macbook pro address book without mobile me

    How does one merge the contents of my verizon iphone contact list and my macbook address book and my yahoo contact list and have ongoing syncing without mobile me? thanks

    THANK YOU! I have been using companion link up until you posted this. This makes it so much easier to keep my business contacts on my phone. Much faster too! I use the Exchange Server so I'm hoping by doing this, my contacts will be synced via wireless. I'll let you know if it works. Thanks again for the great post. 

  • Address Book and Mail Lag on openning

    I just installed Snow Leopard and now my Address Book and Mail hang for 10 mins before they start. And when I try and manipulate the Address book that lags before the operation completes, I thought SL was suppose to make things better? Somebody PLEASE HELP! This problem is happening on both my IMAC and Macbook. I also use Mobile Me.

    Known issue with Smart Groups in Address Book...it's not Mail.
    Delete all Smart Groups in Address Book and it will fix the problem for both...it takes a long time to do since you get the spinning beach ball when you click on anything in Address Book, so give yourself about an hour.
    There are other threads about the issue...hopefully it will be fixed in an update...good luck!

  • How can I move address book information between Address Book and Entourage?

    (I have the same question regarding iCal and Entourage.) I have a lot of important information to enter, info that would be very difficult to relocate. I had some problems with iCal awhile back (it started randomly deleting events), so I am trying to figure out which program(s) to use. Since I don't have much experience with these, I would ideally like to be able to start in Entourage since that program seems better laid out for me, but be able to export the information to Address Book and iCal so I can make use of the Address Book widget feature, etc.
    Is it realistically possible to export from Entourage into AB and iCal and how do you it?
    Also, I have a first generation iPod, and just got an iPod Touch so that I could have access to this information on the go, along with the rather lame "notes" approach to entering information (while I hope for a free upgrade that will allow me to edit my calendar). So I am also trying to figure out:
    How do I export Entourage information onto my iPod Touch? Can it be done directly easily now or does it need to go through AB and iCal?
    I've done that on my old iPod, but it was very confusing between "identities"?? and remembering exactly how to do it again one I figured it out. I had to locate a copy of Tiger just to manage to get the iPod Touch, so I am grateful for any suggestions of the best way to do this.

    ''' "I thought FF29 was supposed to be the most customizable Firefox yet?" ''' <br />
    Whoever told you that was incorrect, as far as I am concerned. Firefox still is more customizable that the "competition", but not as much as previous versions were.
    The Home button can be moved, but the Back / Forward combo button is attached to the Address Bar - they can't be separated.
    The combo Stop / Reload button is locked in the Address Bar.<br />
    The old "Activity Indicator" is gone. Deemed unnecessary with the loading animation on the left corner of each tab, where the Favicon appears once the page is fully loaded.

  • I have lost all my address book and iCal content on my MacBook Pro. How do I restore from my iPhone?

    I have lost all my address book and iCal content on my MacBook Pro. How do I restore from my iPhone? I tried synchronising my iPhone to the MacPro but then lost all the content on the iPhone. I managed to get it back using the restore. This means the only content I have for Address Book and iCal sits on my iPhone!

    Put one unique entry in both iCal & Address Book on your Mac. These entries can be fake, that doesn't matter, just make sure Address Book & iCal are not empty. Then when you select to sync contacts & calendars on the Info pane in iTunes, you'll get a merge or replace prompt. Select merge.

  • I want to delete all the cards in personal address book and collected address, so I delete all of them, but when I reboot thunderbird, they all came back.

    I want to delete all the cards in personal address book and collected address, so I delete all of them, but when I reboot thunderbird, they all came back.

    Select Help/Troubleshooting Information, click Show Folder to open the profile folder in your OS's file manager, exit TB, delete (or move to another location) abook.mab (Personal Address Book) and history.mab (Collected Addresses). When you restart TB, you should have empty PAB and CA address books.

  • Duplicates merging and deleting in Address Book

    I know Apple Address Book has a "Look for Duplicates" option under the Card menu. I have a lot of contacts I'd like to clean up, and am thinking about using this functionality.
    Here's the problem:
    Many clean up tools are notoriously unintelligent. There are many contacts in my address book, for example, who have the same name, but different email addresses or phone numbers. For some of them, they are genuinely contacts that need to be merged. For others, they are legitimately different people. Whatever tool I use for cleanups has to allow me the opportunity to review what it thinks should be merged or deleted before it does so.
    I went to Card > Look for Duplicates in Address Book, and got a window telling me it found "422 duplicate cards and 409 duplicate entries". I'm worried about pushing the Merge button since I have no idea how Address Book conducts this assessment, and whether or not it will give me an opportunity to review its changes when I push the button. Unfortunately, the help file is not very helpful on this.
    Can anyone here offer me some insight into how Address Book identifies duplicate cards and entries, and if there's anyway to review its changes before they're made?
    (I know I can create a backup of my Address Book before the processing, and restore afterwards if necessary, but I wouldn't know if I'd need to restore unless I could AT LEAST review a list of all 400ish changes it made.)
    Dan

    If you have not already tried, I would suggest to not use the address book duplicate merge feature. I just tried it doesn't give you the chance to review anything. All goes automatic and it leaves a complete mess. Merging companies with several people together, merging people with the same last name and phone number together, etc. I restored from a backup copy.

     Strange email received from Yahoo

    It is only easier if you always have access to that computer.
    The beauty of having everything online is you can access it from anywhere you have an internet connection.
    I use POP and keep on top of my email online when parted from my main computer, downloading retained messages when I get home. But if you want access to all your folders and messages from any computer, you can use IMAP to get the best of both worlds.

  • Sync address book and calendar 8830 with 8130 via DM

    I just changed from using an 8130 and now use an 8830.  I assumed I could use DM to backup my 8130 and then restore it to my 8830.  However, when I do this, many items do migrate, but not 2 of the most important ... my address book and calendar.  Both are personal devices and are not linked with any work email server, so that's not the issue.  I do notice that in the backup file from my 8130 the address book is called "Address Book - All" and similar with the calendar.  However, with the 8830, it is labeled as only "Address Book".  I'm wondering if this is the problem?  I'm hoping someone can help me get my address book and calendar migrated to my new device.
    Thanks!
    BTW, I already tried wiping the new 8830 ... that did nothing.

    In Desktop Manager, use the application Switch Device Wizard.

  • TB v. 24.0: Changed ISP's; ~ new email in Server Settings & Outgoing Server & all Address Books and Contacts; TB still showing old email ID for Fwd & Rply

    TB v. 24.0, Win 7 Pro. Changed ISP's. I use Outlook 2007; wife uses TB, same box. Changed TB username & e-mail address in Server Settings & Outgoing Server & set as Default. Changed e-mail address in all address books and Contact lists. Now TB still showing old e-mail address in <From> when Reply or Forward. This is confusing recipients, who have been sending their replies off to a now-nonexistent account. Checked Windows Contacts - empty. Checked my Outlook 2007 - all Contacts changed appropriately. How do I kill that old e-mail address in TB when it isn't even listed any more - except when we try to Reply or Forward?

    When you got the new email address and changed ISP's, you needed to create a new mail account for that new existing email address.
    When a mail account is created there are many preferences setup to be able to manage and run that mail account. Trying to track down and modify all of those within the either the config editor or prefs.js is not only time consuming, but you could easily cause further problems if any error is made.
    So I suggest you fix the original account by reentering all the old data. Then create a new mail account for the new exisitng mail address.
    * File > New> Existing mail account.
    or
    * 3bar menu icon > New Message > Existing Mail account.
    when you have both mail accounts in your left folder pane, you can choose to move any wanted emails from the older mail account into suitable folders in Local Folders. This will save a copy of emails.
    Then you can delete the old account, leaving saved emails in Local Folders and only one new mail account.
    To remove mail account:
    * Tools > Account sEttings
    * select old mail account
    * click on 'Account Actions'
    * select 'Remove Account'
    * click on OK

  • My Safari, Address Book and Mac Mail have stopped working.

    Recently my Safari, Address book and Mac Mail have become unstable, I cannot edit or copy anything from my Address book, most of the time it'll stop responding before I can even view an address. My Safari keeps freezing and then crashing and I have to force quit, sometimes several times before it'll close. The Mac Mail won't do anything, it tries to download mail and then will sit there doing nothing, again sometimes I have to force quit several times before it'll actually quit.
    I have run the extended hardware test and all is fine, I have reinstalled my OS and then restored my info from a backup and still it doesn't work. Can anyone shed any light on this?

    Hi jen_bob,
    My iMac is a trooper, so far this is the first time its played up - I have I pushed it too far?
    I think you've just installed the wrong version of Safari, that's all. Safari 3.x is supposed to be for OS X 10.4 or 10.5 - according to your tag line you are using 10.3.9.
    Assuming you are using 10.3.9, then the Safari install will have updated a few system frameworks that are used by other applications (such as Mail). In that case, the 'easiest' way to get things working again is to do an 'Archive & Install' and choose to preserve users and network settings.

  • Address Book and stolen phone

    I think I've figured out the answer to this already I'll ask anyways. My wife's iPhone 3g was ripped off on Sunday. We reported the phone stolen to AT&T that night. My question involves the address book, my wife kept passwords and SS # in the address book. I've already changed her dot mac password but I'm wondering if there is a way to completely reset dot mac so that if the phone attempts to sync over wireless all of her info will just disappear? We known the crook took a credit card number out of her address book and tired to use it. Of course this won't work if they do not hook up to wi-fi or have turned off push sync.
    thanks,
    jeff

    How unfortunate.
    Not sure of a global reset on MobileMe, but you can certainly manually delete that information and it would have been erased by the push sync. I state 'would have been' because if you changed the password, I would think the iPhone will no longer connect to MobileMe (it will ask for the new password), so the blanked entries will not be pushed to the phone.
    For the future, you might want to consider either a) not storing such sensitive, personal information on a portable device like a mobile phone, b) if you do, enable a passcode lock on the iPhone or c) store the information in one of the apps designed for that, where the data are password protected and encrypted.

  • Address book and communigate problem

    Hi,
    I need some advice about how I can transport my contacts list (currently in the form of a csv, comma separated value text file) into address book and then export in a format that can be used by the communigate pro interface. I am using macdock to host my site and have just paid for their mailbox add-on, but want to import these addresses into the address book within the communigate account.
    I have managed to import the list into address book but it saves all the emails under one contact card, plus misses out a large number of them.
    Has anyone been through a similar procedure?
    Any help most appreciated!
    Ben

    Thank you. Update my system? Do you mean the OS or the Mail program? My bosses name is Rose. When I type in Rose, Mail doesn't link to the Address Book. Neither the last name or the email address appears.
