Phone numbers/address book

I did a factory reset the other day and I did backup before and restored and have lost all contacts but the names of them appear on call log how do I got my numbers back. There is an open app called enterprise activation and it says address book initializing for my email and has been like this for days. Does this contain my numbers?

Do another factory reset but this time follow these instructions. Then do the restore again.

Blue Tooth Synch Issues: Phone to Address Book not Working

I am trying to synch my contacts from my Sony Ericsoon to my MacBook and running into some issues.
I can synch the other way with no problems, all the info on my MacBook transfers to my mobile, but not the other way around.
Example:
Contact A has two numbers in my cell (one that was synch'd and another that I added manually). When I use iSynch it does not move this number from my phone to the MacBook.
If I added the number in Address Book and used iSynch it would move it across to contact A.
I seem to remember a setting where you got to choose whether to accept a MacBook overwrite or a Phone overwrite or it would allow you to review each change before moving/merging daa but I can't seem to find it anymore.
Any idea's or tips will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

It's not a problem that is specific to the MacBook but one of iSync. I too had this problem with a Sony Ericsson K700i (and still do I believe) though I haven't tried it recently.

"main" phone in Address Book doesn't sync to iPod

I found that not all phone numbers in Address Book on my iBook were appearing on my iPod contacts after syncing. Apparently, the "main" phone numbers don't sync, while "home" and "work" do...I haven't tried them all. I entered many phone numbers as "main". Do I have to go through all by address cards and change them? Am I missing something?
Thanks.

I don't really know... iSync on Panther (10.3.9) is really old and it seems much have changed in Tiger... maybe it's a good decision to upgrade

Numbers/Address Book and Google Maps

I would love to integrate my spreadsheet of addresses or my Address Book with Google Maps.
Is this possible? Somehow?
I take a lot of trips across the country and don't always know when I will be driving by my friends. But if I had a map I could glance at to see where they all are, I would know that I could schedule a lunch with a friend halfway or something like that.
I have heard about MapPoint, but don't know if there is anything like this that is free/affordable/non-MS.
Thanks!

Integrating in Numbers would not be automatic. You'd have to format links to assign to each address.
I've seen plug-ins to use Google maps with Address Book. Try a search on MacUpdate or VersionTracker for Address Book.
I think one of the features for Address Book in Leopard is integration with Google maps.

Getting contacts added on phone into address book.

I just got my iPhone yesterday and after importing my contacts from my old phone from a .csv file I had over 200 duplicate "no name" contacts. I followed the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2481 and was able to get rid of the duplicates and replace the contacts with what was in my address book. For some reason the force sync where you replace the contents of the phone contact list with your address book contacts did not work so I had to use that.
Now I STILL can not get contacts added on my phone to be entered into my address book after sync. Why is that? I thought the above step was supposed to clear out any issues and force the sync to work correctly?
I DO NOT have Mobileme but I do not think that is necessary for my contacts on my phone to be imported when I sync my iPhone 4.
How do I fix this

You were not turning in the appropriate direction before and/or in the appropriate stance. Plus the techno gods were not smiling on you.
But I am glad they finally let you sync.

Itunes sync erased ALL contacts from my phone and address book empty

So I must have chose something wrong when I ran a sync and it erased my address book from my iPhone.
What do I need to check or change before my next sync to make SURE all my address I re-entered on my iPhone are synced with address book on mac instead of mac overwriting my phone and wiping them all out again?
Thanks in advance!!!
Patrick

I am VERY dissappointed that the alleged 'smart' operation of iTunes sync would so nonchalantly and impulsively erase ALL the contacts on my iPhone. Can't it at least WARN YOU... "Hey, I'm doing something that most likely 99.9% of people doing this don't want to do, but, screw you, I'm going to do it all the same" -- bye bye contacts.

No more bluetooth - phone in address book?

Can I reactivate the bluetooth connection from addressbook to my phone via blue tooth? From what I can find this feature has been removed, is this true??
If the feature has been removed, can I downgrade my OS back to tiger or do I have to totally reinstall? (and ask for my money back for the useless upgrade to leopard?)

Yes, it is true that the Bluetooth features of Address Book have been removed. It's been commented on a few times already:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1196696
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1195981
There is no way to "re-activate" this feature because it simply does not exist anymore in Leopard.
If you feel so strongly about this, send feedback to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
If the only thing you use your Mac for is for connecting to your phone via Bluetooth, and all the other new features are "useless" - why did you upgrade?

I accidentally selected all of my contacts in my address book and then clicked "Merge cards." I now have one contact in my phone and address book that has a million phone numbers attached to it. Whoops! How can I get my separate contacts back?

This is terrible. I need all of these contacts back. Is there a way to revert to a previous state on my phone/icloud/computer?

IF you have backups to icloud turned on, you can reset the device and do a restore. This will first delete all on the device and restore whatever you have on the backup. IF you have backups to itunes that are recent, then you can do the same thing but restore from the itunes backup.
Otherwise, if you also have the data on a computer, then if it's no longer there, you can perform a restore of the contacts file/folder from Time Machine (for macs) or from your PC backup.
If none of the above, then without backups, I'm afraid you've lost the original data.

How to format numbers in Address Book for iPhone

I am planning to get an iPhone within the next few weeks and have begun entering all the numbers from my current cell phone into Address Book so that I'll be able to sync it with the iPhone. Since I never had to sync these numbers with anything other than my .Mac account, they are all entered like this: (555) 555-5555. Do I have to format them differently so that I will be able to use them on the iPhone. And do I have to add a "1" for each number or can I have the iPhone add that automatically?
Thanks.

entering like your example works fine. Just remember that if your entering phone # outside the US use the "+" symbol. example +46 35 46678 67

Address book and bluetooth phone

Hi,
I have been trying to use my bluetooth enabled mobile phone with the address book to dial numbers and send sms. I am using the Nokia N80, Nokia 9500 and the Motorola Razr V3 BLK. But when I pair the phone with address book and click on the tab of the contact, address book loses the bluetooth connection and the Send SMS and dial number options are not highlighted.
I have tried looking around for help, but haven't found anything other than BluePhoneElite. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me with this.
Best Regards,
Aditya

I have the same problem with my Nokia N70 whereas in the past I've had this address book connection with SE T610 and SE K700i, though with the 610 I had to troop round the re-pairing route a couple of times and with the 700i, I had to wait for Tiger.
If you clear the settings and pair again in the Bluetooth wizard, at the point where the paired services screen shows, the Address Book option is clearly missing. It may be that 10.4.6 has rewritten the configurations for these phones, or it may be that we have corrupted or outdated preference files and perhaps somebody could advise on which files we might check.
It's certainly frustrating to be missing this facility when my phone can both sync and work as a high speed modem through Bluetooth. The Address Book facility may be the lowest priority, but it remains a useful extra feature which I miss.

This facility is usually dependent on your network
I am in uk on Vodafone and it doesnt work here
I use a small program called BluePhoneElite with the v3 and it handles sms and the calls very well
They pop up on the powerbook screen and also the sms save to the powerbook
thats the address you can get a free trial
I paid the small amount and have been very happy with it
Now I wish there was a program to handle landline calls
I am just a happy customer nothing to do with the company before anyone asks!

Address Book vCards via Bluetooth to Samsung a900 "Blade" cell phone

I'm able to export Address Book contacts as vCards and then import them into one of the new Samsung a900 "Blade" Sprint phones using Bluetooth, but with a couple of vexing problems.
1. I should clarify that I can import vCards into the new "Blade" cell phone from Address Book via Bluetooth, but only by dragging one card at a time, a very tedious process. Unfortunately, no data transfer occurs if I select multiple cards and drag them all at the same time. I'm using OS X (v10.4.2). Perhaps v10.4.4 and/or a more current AddressBook update will make a difference, or perhaps the problems are solely at the Samsung end...
After activating the paired phone and then launching Apple's Bluetooth File Transfer Utility, I'm dragging the vCards onto the OS X dock icon...
But before I do this, the "No Name" problem is forcing me to manually enter the Company Name into Address Book's last name field for every card that has no personal first/last name. Again, this is necessary just to get the Samsung a900's internal phone book to display something useful for these records (besides listing each record as "No name").
2. When the phone software sees an entry with a Company Name only (but no First/Last Name entered), it goes brain dead and lists each entry as "No Name" instead of ignoring the empty Name fields and simply listing the Company Name. This is an age-old problem with dumb cell phone software (my previous Sanyo phone did this too). Unfortunately, Address Book exporting is useless without fixing this...Is there a way to get Address Book to format exported vCards to compensate for this shortcoming in the Phone interface?
More info on this phone and Macs is posted on an a900-Mac thread in the Samsung discussion at www.sprintusers.com. The "Blade" is Samsung's new model that copies the look-and-feel of the popular Motorola RAZR, and it is a very nice, if not entirely original, design, and a very hot phone at Sprint right now. It does have a few bugs, but some already have been addressed with a firmware update from Samsung. It's only been out since late November or early December of 2005.
I also cross-posted these questions in the Address Book and Mail forum...

All metioned problems are Samsung's fault. Blame them.
I've been assuming it was a Samsung problem, and have posted help requests in cell phone forums that Samsung engineers and/or support allegedly reads. I was hoping there might be some way to automate a workaround from the computer end...
Now, if Address Book had an option to define the fields that are to be exported or perhaps automatically sub Company Names for last names the problem would be solved when exporting for cell phones. I can't belive no one has ever encountered this before -- it has been a problem with every cell phone I have ever owned.

Address book files corrupt when transfered to motorola phone

when syncing via bluetooth from addressbook using "send this card", the file arrives at my motorola Pebl phone but when I tried to save it, I get the message file corrupt. Any suggestions
Motorola pebl phone Mac OS X (10.4.5) via bluetooth

Motorola phone and Address Book might not agree of what a correct VCard is.
I would say that the main problem is the encoding.
Does your card contain special characters?
Go in Address Book preferences -> VCard and change encoding to UTF8 or change VCard version down to 2.1.

Sync cell phone address book to a separate address book

I use 2 cell phones for different purposes. One is just for work.
Is there any way to split up the address book (in my mac) so that when I sync my work cell phone, it saves it to its own separate address book? Instead of merging all my addresses from 2 different phones and the mac

You can easily create two Groups in Address Book - one for each phone - with different Contacts in, and then choose the relevant Group to sync TO the phone in Address Book.
The problem is that iSync still doesn't put new Contacts created on a phone into the designated Group in Address Book when syncing back FROM the phone. All new Contacts created on the phone will go into the All group and you will manually have to organise them into the required Groups in Address Book.
The only other way to do this is have separate user accounts on your Mac, one for Home and one for Work which would have separate Address Book databases, then sync the relevant phone from within the relevant user account.

Mail address book and my Address Book.app are different

I tried to delete Plaxo. Now when I access my address book from Mail, I don't have the 3rd column containing phone numbers, addresses, etc. However my AddressBook.app has all that information, but it doesn't work with Mail. I click on an address with the app and it doesn't go to my To: line.
I'm still seeing Plaxo in the 3rd column on some addresses. How do I get rid of Plaxo completly?

Yes, thanks. I had already done that. Did all that Mac instructions mentioned. All the nooks and crannies and did a search for Plaxo....still there.
