Sync Address Book across two Macs w/o .Mac

How do I sync two address books across two Macs without using .Mac?

Hi
There are several third-party solutions. When I was without .Mac I used Address-O-Sync. You can find others on versiontracker.

Sync address book with two different google accounts

Im trying to sync my address book with two separate google accounts. I understand how this works normally through mail preferences and have it working with my personal email account but my university's emails are through gmail as well and i wanted to sync the same address book with me other gmail account. Please help, any info is much appreciated!

I've only found workarounds for this. It amazes me this isn't available, but I've seen a lot of chatter about this throughout the web. The best temporary solution is synching your iPhone with Google as an exchange server and then synchronizing that with your computer through iTunes. Assuming you have an iPhone.

Ipad 4 sync address book from mini mac snow lepoard. ?

2) How do i turn of the icloud......
3) How do I add more mailboxes to my email to file emails..???
All assistance geatly appreciated...ty

No you can sync them over a local network or USB cable, you just can't do so by iCloud.
The other option would be to sync your mobile devices with iCloud and use the contacts feature at iCloud.com rather than the Address Book when using the computer.

Syncing address book groups to .mac account

Can address groups be syncronized to my address book on my .mac account?

Hi Matt,
I'm trying to figure this out also. So far, I haven't been able to figure out how. All contacts are sync'd but not in groups. Hopefully, someone will have a suggestion.

Can I Share/Sync my iCal (and Address Book) between two Macs?

I have my Address book and iCal on a MacBook.
I also have a MacMini on my desktop.
Is there some way that I import the MacBook Addresses and iCal into the Mini - AND synchronize them so that when one is changed, the other also changes?
Does this require a .Mac account or is there some way to do it just across my network?
Thanks,
--PS

You might be interested in Address Book Server (http://www.addressbookserver.com). It allows you to sync either the entire Address Book or selected groups between several macs on the same network or over the internet.

How can I synch my address books on two macs and also my Google contacts?

I have signed up for iCloud on my two macs, and I understand that their address books will be kept in sync. But will the sync with Google that I have set up in Addressbook.app continue to work?

Selected under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.
With such a question, you should spend some time with the user guide.

Synching address book across two computers

Why aren't the changes on my second computer showing up when I sync our main laptop to .mac and then tell the second computer to update itself from .mac? I make a lot of changes in address book and want the computers to "match"

Sync address book between 2 macs?

How do you transfer all address book contents from MacBook Pro to an Air and thereafter sync them?
Same question ref calendar?

I was not suggesting to use your iPhone to sync the 2 computers.
What I was suggesting was that if you have an iPhone that you can sigh up for iCloud which will store your contacts and calendars and then sync them with all your Apple devices. You don't have to use it for anything else if you kdon't want to.
I personally use Google to sync my Android phone contacts and calendar with both my Mac Address book and iCal and my Windows PCs using Mozilla Thunderbird email program Address book and a Calendar add-on. I also use Thunderbird on the Mac and sync the contacts directly in TB with my Google account.
Other then doing something like that there is NO WAY.
Good Luck and Best Wishes.

Sync address book groups to .Mac?

I just recently singed up for a .Mac membership. I've sync-ed information to .Mac, but was dissapointed to find that only addresses without the address groups I had made in my local address book were sync-ed. I need these groups, as it will be cumbersome to send an e-mail to a group of people (20+) from my .Mac account.
Is it possible to also sync groups, or is there any other way around this issue?
Regards,
Hall

Greetings,
Indeed, .Mac currently does not sync Group designations between your desktop and the online Addressbook.
The only work around that I am aware of is to create on card that contains a listing of all email addresses in it. Bear in mind, that you must make a comma seperated list of all email addresses that you want to send to and add that list to a new card as if it were one email address. This solution is rather cumbersome to use and difficult to keep up to date.
It is much simpler to adminster groups and group emails from a desktop email client.
I suggest that you leave feedback ( go to www.mac.com and locate the link for feedback) to suggest this feature (as I have done as well).
Also, you may find more accurate support for issues like this in the .Mac section of these Discussion boards rather than the Tiger (OS X) section.

How to sync Address Book with multiple macs

What are the methods for having 1 address book and having them synced over multiple macs.
I have:
- 1 iMac (24 inch)
- 1 Powerbook
- 1 iMac (dome)
- 1 iPhone
I'm using all of them (sounds weird, eh?) and I want to be able to have them synced automatically. One update on my iPhone reflects the other Address books.
Cheers!

Agreed, $99 a year seems like a bit much if that's all you want to do.
If you trust web-based free email services like Gmail, you can export your Address Book(s) and those on other platforms and manage it from there.
Downside is that there is apparently NOT an 'export' back at the present time if you decide to change.
So, for now I use MobileMe for the convenience, because $99 a year is easier than wading through three or four different programs and operating systems on multiple platforms.

Syncing address book from a Mac

After several years of easily syncing my BlackBerry Curve 8530 to my Mac, I suddenly can't do it. I get the following error message: The Address Book database cannot be accessed for synchroniztion. For help resolving this issue, refer to KB19454 in the BlackBerry Desktop Software Knowledge Base.
I can't find KB19454 in the database. I can't find a way to call BlackBerry to resolve this. My Sprint store won't touch my Mac (and vice versa). Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
thank you.

Syncing Pop Mail across two Macs

How can I sync my POP Apple mail folders on my work computer (Macbook Pro) and Macbook Air? I need to be able to read and download them on both computers but make sure the messages I've downloaded are on both computers. I can't switch to an IMAP account as I have 20,000 downloaded emails organized in folders that I need access to. Thank you for any help!

If you want to stay with POP rather than IMAP, make sure your mail account is set up to NOT remove messages from the server (Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Advanced).
Then, set up your account to automatically BCC yourself on messages you send. (Mail>Preferences>Composing).
Now all messages you receive and send will be available from either machine.
Another alternative is to periodically simply copy the whole Mail folder (<home>/Library/Mail) from one machine to the other.
This is what I do, in fact. I use the iMac as my main computer and made an Automator workflow app to copy Mail, Calendar, and Address Book files and selected Documents folders to my MBA. It's not elegant perhaps, but it works for me.

Sync Address Book With Quickbooks Mac 2007

Do I need to have a .mac account for this to work? I would assume the QB application and files which are on my computer would work the same as ALL the other programs which tap into Address Book for it's data. or is this just one more reason why I hate Quickbooks. Please give any instructions on how to make contacts in QB match my contacts in address book. Thanks!

I feel your pain man. My problem is the Address Book is not removing "customers" I have made Inactive in QB. And I can only assume that's because QB is not updating the information correctly so the Address Book can reflect those changes. I wish there was a manual command I could do in QB that allows you to update the data now. As opposed to it be done in the background. I mean how long does that take and why should I have to wait for that to take place. When I want to update something I want to do it then and there.
My business is service oriented and involves delivery of products. So when I build a new customer contact I have a Bill To address, Ship To address and phone numbers. Once updated in my Address Book I can then update my iPhone with the latest Address Book info. Then if a customer calls or I need to call them I can do so by name. And when it comes time for that delivery, I launch the iPhone Maps app, select that contact and I'm on my way. I can't tell you how cool that is.
So when it does work it is a beautiful system that saves time and duplication of data. But as it is now it's more frustrating then it's worth and just reflects poorly on Intuit and their failure to fix this problem.

Sharing address book between two macs

I have a powermac g4 agp and a titanium powerbook. I want to have the same contacts on both machines. How do I transfer the address book info from the powermac to the powerbook?

I went to the above message and it answered the question. I also found out that you can export vcards. You can export the entire contents of the address book and save it to the desktop then transfer that file to the address book of the other computer. Just go to edit/select all/file/export vcard. That will export all the files in the address book to wherever you want to save it. I saved to my desktop and then trasfered the saved files to my powerbook. Then you just have to import the vcards.

How can I sync adress books of two macs without using mobile me?

I have Mac mini and PowerBook, both with Leopard (10.6.8) and with separately builded adress books. Now I would like to unify both adress books.
Is there any opportunity to do that automatically?
Or have I to export every contact individually as v-card and afterwords import that v-cards individually?

I assume that this is a POP system then.
There is no reliable method of syncing the Mail database between 2 Macs. Just how many Gigabytes of Mail do you have?
