Solved: SYNC address book on mac with my blackberry 9800 Torch

ok the issue is that brand new out of the box the 9800 will (at least did not with me) not work with my mac at home for sync to address book.
Issue #1, the CD that comes witht he phone is the small one, so don't bother trying to use that cd in your mac, it will get stuck and you'll have to find a mechanical way to remove that cd out of your mac.
Solution to this issue is to download the BB Desktop Manager from the BB website.
ok so now you are running the BB desktop manager. looks simple and cool... Ical syncs up fine but the address book doesn't
A work around is to sync up with GMAIL and then add the GMAIL contacts to your BB phone. its a bandaid fix. not the solution.
Ok so on to solving this :
Step 1, if you are like me you enabled the WiFi on your BB phone. don't get me wrong WiFi works good, not great but good. Temporarily turn it off... yes RIM you have a bug with your WiFi tool on your BB phone that causes apps from your BB apps store to not download correctly. (COD Timeouts) ok so now that you turned off the WiFi, go to your browser on your BB phone and head on over to : www.blackberry.com/messenger
download that app update. with WiFi, it times out after a few minutes. when WiFi is turned off, it downloads rather fast. Once it downloads your phone will reboot, wait a few seconds/minutes then connect your phone back to the BB Desktop Manager. In my case it SYNC'd up fine on my Calendar and Address Book.
Please post your BB model and issue you had/ if this solution helped you. Thanks.

quick question before i give this a shot -
when you say that your address book is synced with your Torch, does that include more than 2 phone numbers per contact, all addresses and email addresses?
my boss can sync with address book, but only two phone numbers. some contacts have up to 7 numbers saved on her mac's address book.
thanks!

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

You won't see your contacts in iTunes. iTunes manages the sync from the Address Book. Simply select your phone in iTunes, go to the info tab at the top and check sync Address Book.

Help..can not sync address book on macbook with iphone

not sure, but the iphone will not sync with the address book on my macbook, what am i doing wrong?
help
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you have never synchronized your Address Book before, you must first configure your computer to do so.
• launch iSync [that's right: iSync]
• open the Preferences… dialog
• check the Enable Syncing on this computer option
• launch the Address Book
• open the Preferences… dialog
• check the Synchronize my contacts with other computers using .Mac option
To synchronize events, you'll need to configure iCal in a similar manner.

How to sync Address Book on MP with Contacts on iPhone

iCloud syncs Contacts but not Address Book data. On my MP running 10.7.3 I have my old Address Book. On my iPhone I have Contacts. My iCloud account is set to sync Contacts but doesn't see the Address Book. I have addresses in Address Book on my MP that do not show up on my iPhone. Is there a different application called Contacts in OSX? Is there a way to sync the different programs?

Address book is the lion version of contact. So there is no other app.
To make sure I understand, on your iPhone, iCloud is activated with the contact sync on. On your Mac, iCloud is also activated with the contact sync on. Is that correct?
If so, in the address book, did you correctly select the group iCloud ? Maybe you are looking at locally stored contact and they therefore don't get updated.
If it isn't that, to help debug, go on www.icloud.com and log in and look at the contacts there to check if they are synced.

Syncing Address Book on Mac and Address Book on .Mac

As I sit here my computer is syncing away between the address book on my iMac and the address book / contacts on my .Mac and it will keep whirring away to no avail, because no matter what I do I cannot get the two address books to reflect the same addresses. I have tried and tried. I've made sure to turn on the syncing in the .Mac field in the System Preferences .Mac pane , and also in Address Book, and also in .Mac and it simply will not work.
What ends up happening is that the contacts on .Mac continue to reflect a list that I had weeks ago, and even if I delete all the contacts and then sync to the Address Book on my iMac, it just comes up with the old contacts list again !
So, what is going wrong ? I believe that I am doing all that is right at my end. That means that at the .Mac server end there must be something not working right, I believe. I see that a number of people are having the same problem from the various posts that I have read.
So, come on Apple / .Mac Get it sorted at your end and give us decent syncing. Please !
I'm using Address Book Version 4.0.4 (485.1) All other software is bang up to date. My .Mac membership is all paid up and active.

Not sure why syncing failed but you can do the following: download the free app My Contacts Backup and use it on your phone. It will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email. Send the email to yourself and open it on your mac. Double-click the attachment and your mac should import the contacts into Address Book.

How to sync Address Book TO Outlook for Mac 2011

I am using the native Address Book from Mac OS 10.7.5 and need to keep using it because it syncs with my iPhone. However, I am using Outlook for Mac 2011 and want the contacts to synch from Mac Address Book to Outlook's contact list.
Synch services have been turned on in Outlook.
Originally, I was going to switch to Mac Mail but discovered that importing mail from Outlook is a headache (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664208?start=0&tstart=0). Outlook works well and has for years so rather than going through a bunch of manual drag and dropping of folders to make mbox files, or buying software to do it, I thought getting the contacts to synch would suffice since that's all that's really needed.
What I discovered is that Outlook will feed new contacts to Mac Address Book when they are generated in Outlook but the Mac Address Book does not feed new contacts to Outlook if they were generated in Address Book. Is this even possible? If so, how?
Thanks,
Karen
I read this previous thread but it talks about contact info going FROM Outlook to Address Book instead of the other way around: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664208?start=30&tstart=0

I've got Outlook up and running just fine. Still have the problem with getting duplicate emails but I'm waiting on MS to get a fix for that in an update. Apparently that has been an ongoing issue. I've been in contact w/ a senior MS Outlook tech on that. I guess I'll just have to make sure that all contact adds/edits are done in Outlook. Then I can sync my phone or iPad and get the cloud to update the other Apple devices off that sync. Either that or figure out how to export from the Mac address book to the Outlook address book once in a while.

My MacBook Pro will not sync address book changes with my IPhone. Why? It used to.

My MacBook Pro will not sync address book changes with my IPhone. Why? It used to.

Then you may have to try manually resetting the syncservices folder by following Julian Write's post (from https://discussions.apple.com/message/9274781#9274781):
Ok, as you can't reset SyncServices in the "normal" way, you'll have to resort to the "other" way:
Although it's not advised to do so in normal circumstances, you'll need to manually delete the SyncServices folder.
Before doing so, you MUST make a backup of both your Contacts and Calendars:
In Address Book, choose *Export > Address Book Archive...* from the File menu.
In iCal, choose *Back up iCal...* from the File menu.
Then, make a backup of the SyncServices folder located at:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
By backing everything up first, you don't risk losing anything.
Finally delete the aforementioned SyncServices folder and restart the Mac. This will force Mac OS X to recreate the SyncServices folder, and hopefully fix your problem.
I believe in Snow Leopard you can back up your calendar in File>Export>iCal Archive rather than File>Back up iCal as posted above.

How to sync Address book with iphone on 10.5, while iphone synced with iCloud?

My mac runs leopard 10.5.8. Meanwhile iPhone is updated to 5.1. and synced with iCloud. As we know, OS X 10.5 can not be synced with iCloud. How to sync Address book with iphone? My Address Book on my mac has almost all contacts that can be found on my iPhone. Even with pictures from FB and extra info such as twitter accounts, etc.
The question is - how can I manage my contacts? Now I have added several new entries to my iPhone, but they won't appear on mac's address book. In iTunes the contacts sync box is unchecked due to the fact that iPhone syncs with iCloud. But then I'm wondering where did Address Book get all the contact updates that were made on iPhone?
I'd like to control this whole thing. And is there such thing as one data base, that could used by all devices and would change entries on all of them, if I change or add something on my iPhone?
Or I just have to get Lion and let the iCloud do the magic?
Thanks,
Lauris

I just synced my new iPhone (iOS 5.0.1) with the Address Book on my Mac which runs 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.5.2. I launched iTunes and then I connected the iPhone to the Mac. It appeared on the DEVICES list in the left column in iTunes. I selected it and then the Summary screen appeared in the right part of the iTunes window.
In the Backup section of the Summary you can choose whether to 'Back up to iCloud' or 'Back up to this computer'. Even if you have 'Back up to iCloud' selected, there is a 'Sync' button in the bottom right hand corner of the iTUnes window where you can manually initiate a sync with the Mac.
Hope this helps,
Dave

Syncing Address Book contacts with iPod

I know some people will think this post should be in the iPod forum but I have realised that it is not my iPod beccasue I tried using a different iPod and the same problem happened. Anyway...the problem is that when I choose to sync Address Book contacts with iPod it comes up with this message:
No contacts available
Contact syncinig cannot be enabled because there are no contacts available. Do you want to open Address Book and create contacts now?
And gives me the options: Cancel and Open Address Book
I have tried deleting several different preferences for iTunes, Address Book and iSync (just incase).
I don't know what else to do, I know I can manually add my contacts by exporting them all as a vCard but it would be so much easier if iTunes could do it. Please help if you know anything!

iMac G5 (iSight) Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1.9GHz PowerPC G5, 512MB RAM, 17" Widescreen

I've got Calenders syncing again, not sure how I did it. I deleted the one of the folders in /Users/Alex/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/clientdata/
I found that in each folder there is a clientname.txt file with the name of what data is in the folder e.g. iCal, Safari, Keychain, Mail.
I deleted the iCal one and iTunes seems to be syncing it now. So I looked for a folder with Address Book in the clientname.txt file but there wasn't one. I am wondering whether that's the reason!

MacBook Pro 17" iTunes can't sync address book with iPad Air

Can't sync between MacBook Pro 10.6 OS ver and new iPad Air (bought 2 days ago) cell 32gig. Have been to Apple shop at Garden City WA, helpful but seems very little knowledge of 10.6 OS. Have attempted upgrade on MacBook to Lion OS, persevered and seemed to work. Except now the MacBook won't boot, even choosing drive unit, just spins the icon. Even left it for a few hours just in case it needed time to sort itself out.
Back to Apple shop first thing in the morning, getting MacBook up and running is first priority followed by syncing address book with iPad. If can't sync guess I'll have to return it as having them communicate is why I brought the iPad, something lighter in my brief case instead of carrying the MacBook around.
It became tiring being told the MacBook was old technology, having spent money with Apple upgrading the MacBook drive & memory to cope with Final Cut and Creative suite.
Any advice most welcome!

Figured it out and it wasn't fun. I watched the console messages as I deleted groups and tried to sync with Mobile Me until no error msg was displayed. Then I restored AB from a back up and proceeded to delete contacts one at a time and check for errors until none were displayed. After deleting about half my contacts under the one group I finally found the one contact. I then did another AB restore, deleted the troubled contact, sync'd fine, then did another backup. I have no idea why that one contact was the problem as everything looked fine. Console msgs only showed a silly number as the contact, not the name, which is why I had to go through all this. But...it's fixed.

How to sync Address book with iphone(iOS 6) and 10.7.4?

How to sync Address book with iphone(iOS 6) and 10.7.4

i'm having this issue too. it's a bit more complex though i think so i'll give the details:
a few days ago i added some people to my contacts using my phone. the thing they have in common is they're all new contacts.
they synced over to my macbook address book ok.
then a few days later i had to do a full restore of my iphone for various reasons (the new one, already!) which i did. when i then looked in my iphone contacts, these contacts were no longer there. they WERE however, still in my macbook address book.
so i figured i'd switch icloud syncing off for contacts and then resync to get them back on my phone. it didn't work. so i then turned off icloud sync and tried a good old manual sync via itunes, making sure to check the box for syncing contacts. it still didn't work.
now i'm at that odd place where the contacts are in my macbook address book but not in my phone and i can't seem to get them onto my phone (which is frustrating as ultimately they are phone numbers and in my phone is the best place for them!)
any ideas?
