Maps not Reading Addresses in Contacts

I have updated a contact's address. The new address shows up on my iphone (where I made the change), mobile me online and address book on my macbook. However, when I open the map app on my phone and type in the person's name, her old address pops up. How to I get the map to recognize the addresses currently in my contacts (not old addresses)?
The update was made 2 days ago so I don't think time is an issue (as in it hasn't had time to recognize the change). Help!

Attaching "faux notes" to Address Book contacts

Lots of CRMs and Personal Organizers let you attach multiple notes to a Contact, along with a datetime stamp for that Note. Address Book does not, alas.
Leopard's Email client, however, let's you create free-standing Notes for your Inbox (or wherever you drag them). But these cannot be attached to a contact.
My "workaround" for this is:
1) Create a new "ON MY MAC" mailbox called "Faux Notes"
2) Create a New Message for the contact(s) you want to affiliate this "faux note" to
3) Save it as a Draft
4) Drag it from the "Drafts" folder over to your "Faux Notes" mailbox. This shall ensure that you cannot email your note off to the contact(s) by mistake. The Faux Note also becomes read-only at this point.
5) If you want to edit or add to that "Faux Note," then you must first drag it back to the Drafts folder.
Voila!
Benefits:
A) Faux Notes are searchable in Spotlight (as are regular Notes).
B) Faux Notes show up in Smart Mailboxes such as those created by the handy "Mailboxer" utility (http://earthlingsoft.net/Mailboxer).
Now, I just wish I could figure out how to attach a button to the View Contacts pane of Address Book that would kick off an on-they-fly Spotlight query for mail to/from all the email addresses affiliated with that Contact, as in:
[email protected] kind:email OR [email protected] kind:email OR [email protected] kind:email
Feedback welcome! I'm a recent Mac convert after having PCs for the past 15 years.

I placed this question up here almost two years ago, and the problem has since resolved itself. I think because I have upgraded my mac's operating system (OS) several times since then.
You might want to check and see if you're using the latest version of Mac OS X (currently 10.8.4). If you're not up-to-date, go into the App Store on your Mac and see if there is an OS update waiting for you. That might help.
Good luck.

Time Machine did not restore Address Book Contacts!!! HELP!!!

I have an iPhone. I had to get a new one because the old one was acting all weird after the latest update.
I have a MacBook. I had to reformat the hard drive so I can partition part of it off for Windows (for work, puke.)
When I reinstalled Leopard on my MacBook, I uploaded the information from the latest back-up on Time Machine. This did not, however, restore my contacts. I have a metadata folder which contains a lot of files which are supposed to be people's information, but nothing will open these files. I really need my contacts back. Can someone help?
I ran Time Machine just about every day while my computer was home and just copied over my entire Library folder before reformatting my computer. Is the information somewhere in there? How do I get it back?
This is very frustrating. The applications and music and stuff came back fine, why not my contacts? This makes me doubt whether Time Machine is a reliable back-up.

i will try the restore all feature, but i already restored everything except applications and nothing came back. there were some old stuff that i didn't want restored (deleted files/programs) so i did not do that restore all.
when i open address book, then time machine, for some reason nothing shows up. my home folder was renamed in the process (perhaps without me knowing i was doing so.) would that matter? i can still access all the files through the backup, but i can't access address book through time machine and i cannot open the contact information in any programs. they are all there, but they won't open.

Reading address book contacts and sending them back to PC...

Hi,
I need some help. I have an address book on my computer and I want it to be able to send/recive contacts from/to mobile.
Queastions I'm asking are,
1.) connecting pc and mobile?
2.) reading address book?
3.) writing data to pc/mobile?
I know these are quesions that have thousand anwsers so if you could maybe point me to right direction regarding tutorials.
Thanks.

I have been having the same problem. Contacts will disappear randomly. It is very frustrating especially when you go to write an email and realize that mail no longer has an email address for someone and you know that you have to input all of their info again.
I wish Apple would figure this problem out.
iMac Core Duo 20" Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Maps not reading directions

I’m wondering how to make Apple maps work like a normal satnav. Under the product description it says it will provide turn by turn navigation, but all it does is show the route and put arrows/directions on the screen.
Should it not automatically follow my location and announce my next turn? Currently it does not follow my path or automatically go to the next direction once I have completed the previous direction.
A few points
Yes I have keyed in a route
Yes I have gps signal – and it finds my current location
Yes I have 3g on
Yes I have enabled voice under the maps options
I have tried using it in my pocket with headphone and out infront of me with screen on maps open etc
I have not used it plugged into a power supply
I have all the latest updates installed.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

That is correct; Maps will not at this time show directions in the KSA. See:
http://www.apple.com/ios/feature-availability/
When Apple will be able to offer directions in the KSA will depend in large part on the availability of appropriate data for your country from the providers (TomTom and others).
I don't believe that there is any way to change the default to Google Maps.

Mac is not reading address book from iCloud and visa versa

My icloud is not synching ADDRESSBOOK with my mac, I have tried all the solutions in apple support. Any ideas?

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you (and it seems no one else does, either ), but I did want to say how pathetic the group texting features are in iOS 6. Apple, get off your backsides and get us some decent features here. The Android developers are not sleeping. Why are you?

Weird Bounce-back of an email address that is not even in my contacts!

Hey folks,
Recently I have been getting a bounced back email from an address that is not even in my contacts (I use outlook). It's only when I send an email to a particular person. She gets the email, but I get this bounce back from a SIMILAR email. It is annoying, and confounding.
I have scanned my laptop regularly with updated McAfee and Spybot, and have found nothing. I am using Vista Home and it is all updated as well.
Thanks!
Jim

If the message is being received and you are only sending to a single address on the sending line, then I would say the error is likely on the receiver's end (maybe they have a forward setup to the bogus address?). If you could include the full headers (email addresses redacted) of the message which is bouncing back, maybe someone here can spot something and suggest something further.

My works ip4 will not display contact names in my fav's and only has stored email contact addresses in contacts

My works IP4s has developed a problem. my Favourite contacts appear as numbers instead of names. if i try to re-create they will not store. also my contacts in the contacts have gone leaving only those with an email address. I have tried shutting down etc and re-inserting sim. but problem persists.

This is inevitably caused by duplicate entry, (many posts already exist) check settings in options in contacts and make sure memory in use is phone memory. Then you need to go through contacts and make sure you don't have more than one name attached to each number .
Good Luck

Address Book contacts not showing up in Mail

I'm unable to access my address book contacts from Mail. The wheel on the right side of the recipient box spins but never finds the contact or group I'm searching. Can anyone help?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I am unable to write address in contacts as keyboard does not pop up

I am unable to write address in contacts as keyboard does not pop up. How do I input address?

To migrate your data to a new iCloud account go to Settings>iCloud and turn off all synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.), when prompted choose to keep the data on your phone. After everything is set to off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, create the new iCloud account on your phone and turn on syncing for contacts, calendars, etc again. If prompted, choose Merge. This will upload your data to the new iCloud account.

Why does Lion KEEP reversing changes you make in address book and other applications without your consent and without wanting it to??? Plus address book will NOT import old address book contacts from Snow Lepoard 10.6 and keep them. This Lion OXS 7 is .. becoming very frustrating ... it will NOT keep changes made in the Address Book and it has destroyed my contacts which I only have electronically since 10.4 in my address book. I am NOT happy with this OS7 it has a lot of issues and faults. How can one stop automatic reversing of data when inputting???
Please help!
Wished I NEVER upgraded to this Lion!!!

Relax. Your address book database is corrupted.
If you are syncing your Contacts with MobileMe or something else, disable it for now.
Backup your address book by going to File>Export>Address Book Archive.
Quit Address Book.
Open your Library by holding down the Option (alt) key while selecting the Go menu in Finder. Select Library. Navigate into your Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the addressbook-v22.abcddb file.
Open Address Book. It will recreate the database from the raw data.
See how that works. If it is ok, then reenable syncing and see how that works.

Help, I can not drag and drop address book contacts into numbers.

i have read the manual. watched videos on youtube, but I can not drag and drop address book contacts into numbers or pages. I upgraded to Numbers 09. set up the fields as stipulated, but when I drag a contact to the numbers canvas it just bounces back to address book. I tried reinstalling 09 thinking it was a faulty install. no luck. Have tried dragging to balnk part of canvas, to the table, and to a table with fields, no luck.
Thank you.

Could be a preferences setting. See Jerry's post in this thread.

Address book of my mac does not show all my contacts in iphone. What do i do??

Address book of my mac does not show all my contacts in iphone. What do i do??

iCloud, which replaced MobileMe, requires OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. You will need to upgrade to OS X Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac. First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
Lion system requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Mountain Lion and Mavericks requirements are the same, as listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
If you can run Mavericks, you can download a free upgrade from the Mac App Store. If your system can only run Lion, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store. If you prefer Mountain Lion for software compatibility reasons, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing applications by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table. Also be aware that older PPC programs such as AppleWorks and Office 2004 for Mac will not run on OS X Lion or higher.
