I also so a cople of postings... asking if it works both ways... someone responded; Yes it works from iPhone to Mac & from Mac to iPhone...
Anyone else having this problem? It should be a breeeeezzzzeeee, but I am not be ing successful... HELP

Hello,
One more thing to try:
Reset your sync history.
Go into Applications and launch iSync. Click the iSync menu and click Preferences. The Reset Sync History button is towards the bottom, underneath Advanced.
After this, verify your settings are still set correctly, and sync again.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • Synced Address Book with iPhone but the I have a sorting question

    My contacts in my Address Book are sorted as "LAST NAME, FIRST NAME, MIDDLE NAME." But after syncing my contact with my iPhone, the contact listed on the iPhone are listed as "LAST NAME, MIDDLE NAME, FIRST NAME." How can I make sure that the contact on the iPhone are sorted the same way as the contacts on my computer?

    Go into settings, then to phone, and under contacts is the sort order and display order. That should help you get it set to how you prefer it.

  • 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.

  • Sync Address Book with Yahoo Address book?

    Hi there,
    just wondering if its possible to some how sync Address Book with Yahoo Address book?
    That is... I have an elaborate Address Book setup on Yahoo, I'd like it so that if I use Yahoo Address Book and create/delete contacts that when I get home and use Address Book, Address Book syncs the contacts structure to the yahoo structure, without me manually intervening...
    Is this possible or is there a tool/widget that does this already?
    Thanks

    while looking for somehting else, i found something here in the discussions that might do the trick. it involves another web-based address book, but might work for you. try getting the plaxo address book plug-in, and then sync your yahoo contacts with plaxo, and then sync that with address book. i'm not sure of the order that would give you the best results, but i'm working on using plaxo as an online backup of my address book, as i will most-likely not be using plaxo otherwise.
    my concern for you would be whether one would write over the other, so back up your address book first, or even export the entire thing as a vcard file to your desktop, and then you can re-import and merge them... that way you can sync with your yahoo account, and then add whatever is already in your address book and merge whatever is necessary.
    search here in the discussions for the plaxo plug-in, and see if that sounds like it would work for you. the only issue i have right now is that it seems that the plaxo install has somehow affected my icalfix plug-in, but i'll look into fixing that this weekend, i'm sure i just need to move some plug-ins around.
    cheers,

  • Sync Address Book with Mail Addresses

    What's the trick to sync Address Book with Mail Addresses. My Mail Addresses has only a handful of my addresses from addresses from Address Book.
    Thanks

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, when composing a message, the address is not completed when typing is begun. I have checked the Mail Preferences - Composing and there is a check mark beside "Automatically Complete Addresses". The "Configure I.DAP" window is blank and I do not know what, if anything, should be in that window.

  • Sync address book with google

    Address book does not give me the option to sync with google like it says on the internet. It says for mobile me, exchange and yahoo only. How do I get the option for google.
    My address book version is 4.1.1(699).

    This is a problem I am having also. I don't think it has anything to do with having synchronized another device as I can and have my ipod and address book syncing well (no iphone yet).
    I'm at address book v 4.1.1 (is that most recent) yet there is no box to tick in address book/preferences to sync my address book with gmail. The options for yahoo, exchange and mobile me snycing are there.
    I just ran software update and the mac is fully up to date (or so it says), running osx 10.5.6.
    The only thing I can think of is that my address book has some how missed an update? is there a way to check, i.e. find skipped updates?
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

  • Sync Address Book with Google Contacts

    Hi,
    recently I am syncing the Mac Address Book and my iPhone with Google Contacts.
    If I add a birthday to one of my contacts on my iPhone, the birthday also will be added on Google Contacts. If I sync my Mac Address Book with Google Contacts now, the birthday doesn't show up on my Mac Address Book.
    So my birthday calendar in iCal always is empty...
    Any solutions?
    Regards and thanks,
    Mike

    Hi,
    Google uses Google Sync to synchronize your contacts with your iOS and OS X. But this, from Jan 30, 2013, is only available to the paid versions of Google Apps (read more on http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2716936).
    You can continue to sync on both iOS and OS X using the CardDAV protocol, which, IMHO, is even better.
    Follow the instructions in this post: http://support.google.com/mail/answer/2753077?hl=en
    Mountain Lion Contacts also supports CardDAV accounts. All you need to do is add the CardDAV account with your account credentials and it will synchronize again.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    Ramses

  • Sync Address Book with Google Mail

    Since the update to Mac OS X 10.5.3 I expected to sync my Address Book with my Gmail account. But no can do, and I don't know why. Is it just for iPhone users?

    There are several ways to do this, but it all depends on whether you prefer a simple solution versus a more technically involved solution. If you're like most non-technical people, I'll assume you prefer the simple solution, so you should check these out and decide which of them you want to use:
    Soocial: [www.soocial.com] (currently in closed beta)
    Syncman: [wateree.net]
    GooSync: [www.goosync.com]
    ABGMerge: [homepage.mac.com]
    Spanning Sync: [blog.spanningsync.com]
    BusySync: [blog.busymac.com]
    Or, if you want to go with the technical method that involves no money, just skill and patience, read this article: <http://www.zaphu.com/2008/05/29/how-to-enable-mac-address-book-syncing-with-go ogles-gmail-contacts-without-an-iphone-or-mac/>

  • 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.

  • ITunes doesn't sync address book with contacts

    Syncing IPad2 with IMac address book doesn't update groups and contacts on IPad.

    If you're using Mobile Me, you can try this: On the iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contact, Calendars > Account Name. Turn OFF contacts syncing. The in iTunes on the computer, view the Info tab on the iPhone item page. You should now be able to check the Sync Address Book checkbox and then click the Sync button. This might work with non Mobile Me accounts too.

  • Sync address book with Yahoo

    OK, I've turned on the option in address book to sync with Yahoo. I do have a Yahoo mail plus account (since I subscribe to AT&T Yahoo DSL), but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I don't subscribe to .Mac. Am I doing something wrong, or does it only work via .Mac?

    That worked for me too - to sum up, the highly intuitive way to sync your Address Book with the Yahoo Address Book is:
    * to go to preferences in Address Book and add your Yahoo name and password (a normal Yahoo account will do - you don't need a paid one);
    * go to the iSync application and go into the preferences there and activate "show status in menu bar";
    * use the Sync Now option in that menu bar item;
    * wait a bit for any conflict resolution (which seems to work well).
    It doesn't seem to delete stuff off the Yahoo Address book though.

  • Sync address book with Google Problems

    I have just enabled the option to sync my address book with my Google contacts account. Before i sync'd i deleted everything in the google contacts as it was way out of date, The sync process appeared to have worked as all contact info from address book appears in my google account, but then i get a message indicating that more than 20% of the contacts in the OSX Address book are going to be changed, how can this be? ...
    Any ideas??
    thx
    John

    John, I believe the answer lies in the subtle differences between contact fields used and populated by Address Book, and those used and populated by Google Contacts: they do not utilize the same fields for what, on the surface, appears to be the same info. For example, if your Address Book entry contains two words in the last name field, Google imports this as one word for middle name and one word for last name. The sync back from Google to Address Book results in "duplicate" entries, and the warning message that your Address Book entries will be changed.
    I just spent two days trying to get this to work the way I wanted it to (I just got a new phone that syncs with Google Contacts. I did just what you did and found just what you discovered. It drove me nuts.
    I concluded it what possible to line it all up between the two, but the amount of manual actions necessary on my part was not, for me, worth the time expended to do it. That's as far as I got.
