Sharing Address Book (and groups) With Others

I know there is a way to share address book with others through mac.com, but I'm wondering if there is a way to do it without mac.com ...

Yes, there are quite a few other options. I developed a solution for this called Address Book and Calendar Server (http://www.addressbookserver.com). There seems to be also an option to use Google etc.
PS: I am the developer of AddressBookServer.com and naturally biased towards it.

How do I share address book and calendars with other iCloud users?

I guess the title of the discussion question says it all.
My wife, and other family members want to SHARE Contacts, Calendars etc... with other iCloud users.
Simple task... most people would want to do it...
But... I can't find an easy answer... how do I do it?

Roger, thanks... I had continued my search and found this information on the discussion.
Now, my biggest concern is the ADDRESS BOOK... I'd like to publish, specific GROUPS within my master Address Book to other iCloud users... with either Read Only, or Read Write permisions.
Do you have any knowledge or suggestion on how that can be accomplished in iCloud?
It seems as though this would be FOUNDATIONAL in iCloud if APPLE expects it to be a USABLE SERVICE.
Thanks for your help...

How to sync Address Book and iCal with Samsung GT-S5670 (Galaxy Fit) with Android 2.2 running?

How to sync Address Book and iCal with Samsung GT-S5670 (Galaxy Fit) with Android 2.2 running?
Couldn't find any iSync Plug-in nor software for Samsung phones fitting ...
Thanx for any help!

Hello,
if you need to sync your media files as well, you might want to have a look at FoneSync for Android. It features an iTunes like interface and syncs contacts, calendars, music and photos.
Kind regards

Address Book and using with Motorola v600

I'm having trouble using the "Dial with cell phone" and "SMS Message" functions in Address Book with my Motorola v600. I click on the Bluetooth button in Address Book to pair it with my phone, and the pairing is successful. However, the functions are still grayed-out.
I'm able to sync my Address Book and Calendar with my v600 phone using iSync. And I'm also able to navigate through the audio/video filles on my phone using Bluetooth File Exchange. So I don't think there's a problem with the connection.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the SMS and Dial with Cell Phone functions in Address Book to work with the Motorola v600? Thanks.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

wait, i meant contacts. for some reason the ipod touch will sync with windows contacts but won't sync with windows calendar.
he will need microsoft outlook to sync his calendar.
for contacts he doesn't need extra software:
in the overview screen when the ipod is connected to itunes there is an info tab, in the contacts section, set it to sync with windows contacts.

Address Book and Groups vanished with Mavericks download. Is there a way to get them back?

Downloading Mavericks caused my Address Book and all associated email Groups to vanish along with all Bookmarks. Does anyone know of a way to get them back? I wish I had backups of these items, but it seems to me that the wise and sophisticated designers of Mavericks could have provided for incorporating existing data.
My printer which had been functioning perfectly under Mountain Lion suddenly showed up as disconnected. By good luck a download of new drivers from HP allowed me to print again.
I am annoyed that Apple did not make Mavericks seamlessly integrate existing data durng the download.
Oh well, it is what it is, so I'd be grateful for any ideas (other than beating me up because I don't have backups - I've already smacked myself around about that!)
John

Thanks Guys,
Yes the iCloud seems to be enabled but I don't find a backup for the missing items, or perhaps I don't know how to access it. I haven't been able to find a way to open the backup files.

Address book and groups on N97?

Do anyone know how I can find out which groups a person in the address book is a member of in the N97? In older Nokia phones, that was displayed along with all the other information when I opened an entry in the address book. On the N97 this is not so.
The only solution I've found so far that even comes close is to go to the group list, open a group, select a member, and then I can see which other groups that member belongs to. This isn't really good enough, since I then first need to know atleast one group that the person is a member of before I can even do this. Also, it's very logical, or easy to use when I'm in the address book list.

There was another thread on this, and I posted incorrect advice on it, but now I can't find the thread. Someone pointed out my error, but it was so late at night when I saw it, I didn't respond at the time - so whoever you were - yes, you were right!
Yes, I agree with you, doesn't seem to work as well as on, for example, my old N80.
I haven't found a solution either.
Not that that helps you, of course, but at least you know you are not missing something - or conversely, several of us are missing something!

Shared Address Book and Contacts on iPhone from Lion Server

Hi,
I'm considering converting my current Lion Mac Mini into a Lion Server as I like to look of some of the features it has. However I have a question about the shared Calendar and Address Book which Lion Server can provide.
My wife and I both have iPhones, I have read up some articles on the device management provided through Lion Server, but I was wondering how invasive this is? I'd like to enroll both iPhones with my Lion Server and allow access to a shared calendar and address book from it, but without affecting any of the existing calendars or address books currently on the phone (my wife syncs her contacts and calenders with Gmail, I use iCloud etc...). Is it possible to push out a config to both phones which adds the new calendar and address book without wiping each phone?
Rich

Yes, this happened to me too and as a matter of fact I noticed it when I was already at the Apple Store at the Genius Bar for another iPhone issue. However, it seemed to fix itself when we did a restore to the iPhone. I would try another sync first. If they are still messed up, then I would do a "Replace Contents - Contacts" in the iTunes Info tab once your iPhone is connected.

How can I sync my Address Book and ICal with Mac and PC with Palm Desktop?

I now have the IPhone and I love it!!! But I have some issues and need help please. I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. In the PC I use the Palm Desktop Version 4.1.4 and I have there all my contacts (more than 1,100), all my date book (since 1998) and all my memos (about 600). I want to see what would be the best way get rid of my Palm Handheld and have only the IPhone, but I have encountered some problems and many steps. Everyday I have to sync the Palm Handheld at work, then sync the Palm Handheld at home with my Mac (using The Missing Sync, but it takes a long time every time), then sync the IPhone. Can you please help me??? How can I sync my data from my PC (Palm Desktop) with the IPhone? Another, thing; I do not want to use Outlook at work because the information that I want to sync (Palm) is my personal data and I want to keep using the Palm software for that.

aflores48,
Unfortunately, the iPhone is not designed to sync with Palm software. As stated in the minimum system requirements, the iPhone can sync with Outlook (2003, 2007 or Express) on a PC, or with iCal and Entourage on a Mac. If you do not want to use Outlook on the PC, you can sign up for a free Yahoo account and sync with Yahoo Address Book. Yahoo Address Book can be used to sync from PC or Mac. More information on the minimum system requirements for the iPhone can be found here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305703
More information about syncing the iPhone with your computer (including Yahoo Address Book) can be found here:

Hope this helps,

Address Book and groups

Hi,
In the "address book" you can create "group" of peoples, those groups can be "smart group".
In the dictionary of "address book" you can "delete, creat, add persons to a group".
- first question: I try to creat a group using : Make group but it doesn't work, how to make a new group with an specific name ?
- second question : I haven’t find a way to create a "smart group" do you know if it's possible ?
Thanks for your help.
HDR

HDR:
This will make a new Address Book group:
tell application "Address Book"
make new group with properties {name:"Group 11"}
save addressbook
end tell
The *save addressbook* command simply saves all the changes you make within your script so that they are immediately visible. Without that in this case, you would not see Group 11 show up in your _Group panel_ for a few seconds after running the script.
Unfortunately, there is no way to create or modify a Smart Group via AppleScript.
Good Luck,

Lync 2013 Address Book and Group Expansion

Hello Everyone,
We have just recently published our Lync 2013 through reverse proxy (TMG).
The following links dialin.schs.sharjah.ae and meet.schs.sharjah.ae are viewable externally. However when we try to browse
https://lyncs.schs.sharjah.ae/abs or
https://lyncs.schs.sharjah.ae/abs/handler and
https://lyncs.schs.sharjah.ae/GroupExpansion/service.svc I get a 403 Forbidden Access Error
But when I try to browse the sites internally Group Expansions works and for Abs I get the same error. Is there any way on how to resolve this issue
Regards,
Sheldon

Hi Sheldon,
I'd say TMG issue here. What you should be getting is a prompt for Authentication (from external)
There are a few points to consider..
On the Web Publish Rule - To Tab make sure:-
- that the rule applies to the external web services FQDN (as in Topology builder)
- that the internal site name is the Front End Pool FQDN
- that the "Forward the original host header.." is checked
- that the "Requests appear to come from the Forefront TMG.." is selected
on the Public Name tab add:-
- the meet URL
- the Dialin URL
- the External Web Services URL
- the Lyncdiscover URL
On the Authentication Delegation tab make sure that you select "No Delegation, but client may authenticate directly"
and on the Bridging tab make sure of the port redirects 80 to 8080 and 443 to 4443
On the Listener check the following:-
- Authentication tab set to "No Authentication"
One final comment about TMG is that often even after publishing a rule you may find that it hasn't synced. Once you apply a rule in TMG ALWAYS go to the
Monitoring option and check the status. Don't even bother testing your rule until it says "Synced"

Post Mavericks Upgrade, Address Book and Multiple emails

I have upgraded to OS Mavericks.
I'm seeking to use the groups in my Address Book to easily email multiple address.
How to do this in one "double click," rather than having to enter each address individually?

I just figured it out. Go to Address Panel under Window, your address book including groups with names and email addresses will appear. Click on the contacts you want to send and click "To:" on the upper left corner, an email with those recipeents will appear!

Uwc address book problems (groups)

I downloaded and installed communications suite 5. As I was playing around with it (trying to get a better handle on the changes from what we have today), I discovered an oddity with the address book and groups in the "cooperate directory". I wonder if anyone else has noticed this as well as if anyone knows of any patches for commsuite 5.
Details:
when I expend a group from from the cooperate directory, the members do not appear (though they do appear in a group I manually assemble in my personal address book). The little icon simply just changes directions no matter if members appear when the group name is clicked on or not.
Another oddity is that if people are associated with groups (in the directory) via "mgrpRFC822MailMember" attributes, they also do not show up as members of the group (when the group name is clicked on). Though, members which are associated via "uniqueMember" do appear in the member list.
This is a schema 1 directory which works well with our. I am unsure if these are incompatibilities with schema 1 vs schema 2 or if these are bugs in the product. Anyone have any insight?
(hopefully that all made sense)

Hi,
Excuse the ignorance. I assume a "CR" is a bug
report? How would I go about reading the bug report?Correct. As for reading the bug report itself I don't think you can read this from outside of Sun. I read through it myself and it definitely reads as the same issue, in this case though it affects 6.2 and is fixed in the next point releases:
125813-01 (messaging server)
125819-01 (uwc)
I recommend if you have a support contract that you log a support case via http://www.sun.com/service/online/ That way when the patches for 6.3 come out you will get them first.
I have not done any patching (I can't find any
patches for Comm suite 5). It is possible we are at
the same patch level?There aren't any patches yet available - so if you are running the GA release (and there is no reason to think you are not, then chances are you are running the same patch level).
Regards,
Shane.

GroupWise Shared Address book

Good Morning!
I have an issue where a user has created a shared address book and shared it out with the users at her site. After doing so, some of the users, who are on multiple post offices, are seeing old data. I have resolved that issue by identifying the proper Prime User DB, having the owner unshare the book, renaming the pux.db, and having the owner reshare the book with a test account of mine. The new db has the updated and new information, but any changes the owner makes are not being replicated (address changes or rights changes).
Clients - User is running 7.0.3 build 976 (I think) and I am running 7.0.3 build 1068
Servers - 7.00.03
I have restarted the post offices, recreated the pux.db, have restarted the servers. Nothing seems to force the replication from the owner's post office (PO1) to my test account (PO2).
Any suggestions on how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Chris Williamson

Palm desktop doesn't show address book or memos or others

No device
When I tried to sync my Tungsten E2, recieved an error message (could not establish communications - check your settings). On a support website, it suggested the first step I try is to download and install the latest software. I did and installed it. Palm did its sync with no problem. HOWEVER, when I ran the Palm desktop, only the Calender, Media, and Note Pad would display their data. In the log, it showed that all of the apps uploaded their data.
After re-installing the software two more times, now it only displays pictures from Media, and nothing else! What gives? and how can I correct this?

It's really up to you, but there are some caveats that you should be aware of.
With regard to synchronization, the Palm Desktop is not now (and never will be) Sync Services aware. Virtually all applications which engage in synchronization—under Mac OS X 10.4 or later—are, or soon will be. This renders the Palm Desktop effectively useless or, at the very least, outmoded, as a synchronization tool.
The Address Book is integrated to degree with Mail, and will be more so under Mac OS X 10.5, scheduled for release in about 6 months. The Palm Desktop is not.
I use the Address Book for contacts, iCal or calendars, the Missing Sync for Palm OS to synchronize them and to synchronize memos, AvantGo content, selected iPhoto and iTunes files, along with such mundane applications as airline schedules. And, I use Mail.
I'm no fan of Microsoft, but if Outlook worked well for you in the PC world, you should consider Entourage, with it's Sync Services aware capabilities, it's ability to synchronize contacts with the Address Book, calendars with iCal and memos through .Mac Sync. It is, of course, an integrated application including Mail capabilities, and is generally used as an alternative to Mail, the Address Book and iCal.
