New contacts in address book not synching with mobile me

Just thought I'd add a solution to anyone who had a similar problem as mine. This had been going on for a while and I just finally got around to trying to fix it.
I'm using mobileme. The specific problem I had was adding new contacts on my main computer's address book, and then they were not updating the mobileme address book, and in so doing would keep deleting the newly inputted contact on my main computer's address book. Really frustrating. All the old contacts were synching fine, it was just new contacts that I added.
In the end, I found the answer, and it was a corrupted 'Addressbook-v22.abcddb' in my home folder/library/appl support/addressbook I moved it to the desktop and restarted address book.
Now, everything works as it should.
Just thought I'd share if anyone else is having the same weird issue.

Thanks Philip!
Carolyn

  • Synch new contacts from Address Book no longer works.

    My iphone will no longer synch new contacts in my Address Book on my Mac. It was working fine and then I loaded too much audio content and ran out of memory so I think it could not synch properly without memory available.  I've since deleted all my audio and have plenty of space yet new contacts in Address Book do not show up on my iPhone even though the synch process appears to complete. Any ideas?

    I hope you are doing this over wifi, if you are not then you may have exceeded your monthly data limit, but I doubt that's the problem. All I can say is that Address Book will be getting refurbished soon, and according to Apple, it will be far more simple to transfer data between iOS and Macs.

  • Using Automator to make a new contact in Address Book

    Hello.
    I would love to create a service that allows me to, for example, highlight text in Safari, the choose a service that would create a new contact in Address Book based on that text.
    Anyone know how to do this?
    Thanks.

    this can possibly work but could be tricky to do.
    an address can have several lines for street address, several phone numbers and you'd have to figure out how to parse all the information correctly and also get rid of any extraneous stuff that may be selected along with the address. i confess I don't know quite how to do it. It might be possible though. snow leopard does have address recognition built in so it does it somehow.
    try asking in the AppleScript forum under OS X technologies.

  • Transfering new contacts to address book in my Macbook Pro

    Previously, I synced my mom's iphone contacts into my macbook pro. So the contacts in my address book are hers. Recently, i got my own iphone and i would like to transfer my contacts into my macbook. So how do i transfer the new contacts?
    Thanks, i will appreciate any help or feedback.

    sorry where do I find the sync history to reset in itunes?
    so if i understand you if i have only 100 contacts on my laptop and 500 on my itouch and i sync the two those 500 will go over to the laptop from the touch with no special resetting or instructions other than hitting the sync button.
    why i am cautious is because after updating my OS some how some way i lost most of contact in address book on my laptop and am hoping just syncing the laptop with the itouch in i tunes will restore them. is that whatz going to happen i hope?

  • New apps purchased on ipad not synching with iphone 4S.  This a new problem.  No problem in the past

    Purchased new apps on ipad.  Purchases did not synch with iphone 4.  Purchases are listed in my itunes account and on my ipad, however, they are mot listed as purchased on iphone 4s.  this is a new problem.  I did not have any probelms in the past wit apps synching with iphone 4.

    It does, but I use the SoundNote App because it records audio and allows me to draw diagrams in the document. Any thoughts on syncing the SoundNote files to the mini? I am sure it can be done with a wire, but I have a disability which makes it difficult to plug and unplug cords, so the more I can do wirelessly or through the Cloud the better. Thanks for your help! I am really grateful.

  • If I enter a new contact in Address Book on my MacBook Pro it copies onto my iPhone via iCloud but editing an existing contact does not copy to the iPhone

    I have set up my new iPhone 4 to sync with my MacBook Pro using iCloud as default.  This works fine with Calendars on iCal in both directions.  However, I am struggling with Contacts because new entries on the iPhone appear on my Mac's Address Book fine but erratically the other way.  New entries on the Mac seem to appear OK on the iPhone but edits to existing accounts do not appear.  Also, many entries were missing when I imported the main list from Mac to iPhone but that was done by cable through iTunes before setting up iCloud.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Photos in address book not restoring with Contacts from time machine backup

    I successfully restored my Address Book from time machine with the exception of contact photos. The photos appear in time machine, but do not appear in my Address Book on my mac.
    MacBook Pro
    Mac OS X
    Version 10.7.2

    I had the same problem,(Only I'm trying to recover Contacts after my HD crashed) followed the path, you suggested, and installed in the new HD address book folder, only had to go back and delete the other files that were in new Address book folder, that did not match the old folder.
    And Hallelujah!!!! 153 cards were restored thank you very much!!!

  • Thunderbird will not keep new contacts in address book

    I have added new contacts to my address book. When I go back a day later to use them they are gone. I have to recreate them to send an e-mail. Also I create a group contact and the same thing. I can use it the day I create it but the next day it is gone, Thunderbird does not save it to my address book. What is wrong ???. This is very upsetting and time consuming.

    The symptoms suggest your Address Book is corrupted.
    It can be fixed by exporting the affected address book to an LDIF file and then re-importing it. If it's one of the two built-in address books, you will need to close Thunderbird, open its profile and delete the relevant *.mab address book file. For the ''Personal Address Book'', this is '''abook.mab''', and for ''Collected Addresses'', it's '''history.mab'''.
    Other user-defined address books will have names such as '''abook-1.mab'''; the challenge it to work out which is which. However, user-defined address books can be deleted within Thunderbird, simply by selecting them in the Address Book and using the delete key. So you don't need to fish about in the profile for these.

  • How to add custom label to a new contact in address book which is synced with outlook account

    Hello all,
    My iPhone is synced with outlook account. When I tried to create a new contact,'Add Custom Label' option was missing. Is Apple provides any solution to handle this? Is there any documentation provided about this behavior?

    The second script is working but if I need to change the link it will not allow me to edit or delete it in iCal on my desktop. The only way to edit it is to use the online iCal in me.com.
    And the worst problem is that the url does not show up on my iPhone iCal. The iPhone version of iCal has limited features. So if I'm away from the office on my iPhone I still have the problem of having no link to my iCal appointment. I still end up having to use both iCal and Contacts as separate Apps.
    I still dont understand why Apple wouldnt make these 2 Apps work together! It seems so obvious! thanks anyway.

  • Address book not syncing with mobileme

    I have just bought a new Mac Book Pro 15' and being new to Mac I'm stuck for sure. My mobile me account (which I have had for years) will  not sync the Address book. I'm worried if I sync my iphone or ipad I will loose everything.
    Please help- what am I doing wrong - all the settings seem to be right .

    I wish I had an answer for you. Typically it works just fine, but I noticed today some of my contacts were not syncing with my MacMini nor my iPhone, but my iPad my web-version of MobileMe appear to be synched. I think there is a problem with the system.

  • Why is my address book not synching

  • Why are some of my contact photos address book not uploading to iCloud contact

    I have added some new contact photos to my address book in my powerbook but it absolutely refuses to upload to the icloud and hence my iphone and iPad.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi MoLovin,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's photos not displaying in the correct order, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
