Sync nano with Address Book but the categories are gone!!??

I have more than 200 contacts in my Address Book, but when I finished syncing it with my ipod nano, the categories are missing. I have to search the entire list to get to a contact I want. Can anyone tell me if that is normal?? Is there anything I can do about it?

Yes, it's normal. The iPod address book does not support sorting by categories.

Outlook 2011 problem syncing contacts with address book

I am aware that Lion has broken the sync ability of Outlook 2011 with Address Book. Hopefullly this will be fixed at some point.
So my problem is that I have decided to use a workaround to get my Address Book contents into Outlook 2011. I am not concerned with further syncing at this point. I just want to get my addresses into Outlook and hope a better fix is offered at some point.
About the only way I could figure out how to do this was to export my Address Book as vCard. I then imported the vCard file into Gmail and then exported that as a CSV file. It contained 550 addresses. I opened it in Excel and it contained 550 rows. Great so far.
I then Imported into Outlook 2011 and chose import a text file. When the mapping window opened, it showed over 890 files instead of 550 and the fields were not mapped correctly. I could not complete the import because it was so screwed up.
So I'm back to square one and very frustrated. There must be others who have the same issue and maybe have figured out a way to do this. Please help.

I just installed ios7 on my iPhone 4s. It seems to be working fine but all of the apps I had previously installed are gone. They show up in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts are gone. Does anyone know how to get the shortcuts back? Thanks!

I updated via my iPhone 4s. The apps were on my iPhone 4s. That's all the information that I have. The update to ios7 seems to have gone smoothly - everything else is working, phone texting, email, internet, etc. But all of the apps I had installed over the past year are no longer showing up as shortcuts. No facebook, no twitter, no espn, etc. They are all still listed in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts and my folders are gone. Thanks.

I installed the new firefox sync on my two computers, but the bookmarks are not synchronising. How do I solve it?

Hello,
I recently installed the new version of firefox sync on my computers (by unlinking the old version, and creating a new account), but the bookmarks are not synchronising. One of the computer turns with Windows 7 and the other with Ubuntu 14.
I created the account with the firefox on the Windows computer, and some things were well synchronized on the Linux computer (ie Addblock was installed), but the bookmarks on the Linux firefox are empty.
Could you please help me to solve this problem?
Thank you very much.

Type '''about:sync-log''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
Do you have any Error Reports?
If so, open the most recent report (check the date to make sure it is from the new version of Sync). Then copy and paste the contents of that report to http://pastebin.com/ and post the URL to "your New Paste" to this forum thread so that we can review that error log.
''Edit - whoops'', start with the Windows PC, then the Ubuntu box.

After upgrading my Ipad, the pdf files that I was keeping in ibooks just disappeared. I did the security copy and restored the Ipad from it, but the files are gone. What can I do?

I did an upgrading of the system at my Ipad, I have several pdf files at ibook and the files are gone now. I don't understand what happened and, worse, how can I recover my files.

This happened to me some time ago when I updated my iPad. You will need to replace the missing PDFs from the backup you keep on your computer.

Sync part of address book but not all... how?

Just started using iSync though I've been using my cell and Mac for many years (i.e. newbie at syncing though proficient with Macs).
How can I sync part of my Mac's Address Book without including all 600+ contacts?
It's a pain to have to scroll through so many to get to the few I regularly use (I'm not on an iPhone so scrolling requires continued pressing of 'down' button on my Motorola cell).
Thanks for any help with this.
Ron

Thanks Julian.
I had not thought to click on the cell phone image/icon in the iSync window so as to be given the choice of Group folders to select to sync with my cell phone.
Before posting here I used the online iSync Help and did not see it mentioned anywhere.
It would be nice if Apple made this apparent by including a menu item in iSync that would take a user to that options window.
Regards,
Ron

Try to export address book but the drop down for file type is blank. no options are offered. Version 24.5.

An unusual problem happened when I upgraded from earlier version of thunderbird - which was working fine - version 9. I decided to update. So update to latest version. Once I did this something happened:
1. When I go to address book, I select address book and then select Export.
2. The export window pops up, but the field where you select FILE TYPE is blank - there is no CSV, TXT etc. options to select.
So... I saved a copy of my profile as a back up.
Then I uninstalled that version.
Then installed the version my husband is using - 24.5 - which he uses with no problems at all.
After installing the 24.5 version I still have the same problem. We are completely stumped and don't know what is causing this.
Something must have happened when I upgraded from the very early version 9 to the 31.
Its like its not seeing the FILE TYPE to display when I go to export.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You
Daphna

Restart Thunderbird with add ons disabled. You might have one that does not like the newer versions. You can do this from the Help menu.

Sync. problem with Address Book

Dear all,
I had a sync problem between my iPhone and the Mac Address Book, when I update some contacts with a picture and then when I try to sync iPhone the contacts came without the picture.
I add some pics from the iPhone to the iPhone contact and try to sync and it was working.
Is it only one sync or we should be able to do that from Address Book to iPhone and iPhone to Address Book.
Thanks for your advice.
Regards
Florian

Hi...
First, sorry about my, english... rsss
To repair this problem, you need make some steps:
0. Backup your adress book first anything.
1. Create a new Folder, put group per group of your adress book inside.
2. Close Itunes and Adress Book
3. Put the Isync preferences, inside system preferences to "Manually".
4. Delete all inside the: ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
5. Open Adress Book, that is empty.
6. Create your first group, and click in the correspondent group inside the folder created.
7. After put all contact back, use Itunes that is ok now....

Syncing contacts with address book

Just bought an Iphone 4 and wanted to sync all the contact from my old Nokia 6300 with my new Iphone. Synced the nokia with my Macbook using Isync, no problem. However all the phone numbers are labeled as "other" in the Mac Addressbook. Then when I sync my Iphone with my Macbook using Itunes all the phone numbers in my Iphone are also labeled as "other" which is really annoying and ugly. Is there a way to open an export of my address book (the .abbu file) in Excel or something so I can quickly edit all my contacts in stead of doing all the vCards one by one? So I can set labels of mobile to mobile and work to work etc...
Thnx for your help.

I have created a .pdf form with text boxes, but the recipients are unable to fill in their answers.

How can I distribute a form with text boxes so that the recipients are able to type into the boxes?

This forum is for the Adobe FormsCentral (formscentral.adobe.com) which is a service that allows you to create, collect and analyze data using an online web form. You should ask PDF related form questions in the Acrobat forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/forms
I'll move your post to that forum so you don't need to retype it. They can help you out...

Address Book names and groups are gone - forever?

Hmmm.
After I added two names to Address Book from a message header in Mail, I noticed a duplicate name and selected the menu item to merge the two "cards."
Boom, as teh steve would say, several groups and over a hundred names are gone, now.
Only two names remain—the name I was adding and the duplicate name I was merging
(the one with the wrong spelling, ironically).
No undo was available. Nothing appeared in the trash. No, "Are you sure?" No warning messages about the change having no recourse, etc.
I've already had 2 very stiff drinks (I'm over 21 and do not intend to drive and feel otherwise socially responsible and do not condone irresponsible behaviour, etc., etc., etc.)
Any ideas about recovering any data would be REALLY helpful. Thank you.
I notice there's a way to back up the Address Book data. Gee, that's really nice to know, now.
Edit: OS is 10.4.11 with this problem

Sorry Stan... have you rebooted yet?
Look & see if you have a file like this...
Address Book - 7:31:08.abbu
Date will be different.
In finder go to /Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
see if there are any files like this in it...
AddressBook.data
Images
AddressBook.data.previous
ABPerson.skIndexInverted
.import.lockN
.skIndex.ABPerson.lockN
.database.lockN
AddressBook.data.beforesave
ABPerson.skIndex
LastImport.plist
If it's really gone, quit using the computer if you wish a chance to recover it.

Built a new pc. Old hd used as 2ndary & still the same as before. I loaded the new hd with firefox, plugged in the old hd, but the bookmarks are gone from all places (%APPDATA% etc). PLEASE HELP

I have 2 hd's on a new pc (Win7), new hd as boot, old still completely intact from last pc. After installing Firefox on the new drive & plugging in the old drive as a backup, will that erase old bookmarks from original hd? If not, where did they go? There is no profile folder or appdata file. I have searched and tried everything suggested with no luck

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Trying to sync iPod(s) with Address Book and iCal via iTunes

I've got 2 iPods one an iPod Nano (3rd GEN), 4GB the other is an iPod 60 GB Video (Fifth Generation) which is now vintage. When I try to sync either iPod on either my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion (10.8.2) or my MacBook Air running Lion (10.7.5) with Address Book or iCal which are both populated with several hundred entries on iCloud and locally.
With Sync Contacts I keep getting the following Comment "No contacts available Contact syncing cannot be enabled because there are no contacts available. Do you want to open Contacts and create contacts now?" Selecting either option has no effect. There are 731 on iCloud and 895 on my Mac.
With Sync Calendars I keep getting the following Comment "No calendars available Calendar syncing cannot be enabled because there are no calendars available. Do you want to open Calendar and create a calendar now?" Selecting either option has no effect.
iTunes 10.7 (21) 64-bit
I've reset both iPods, no help.
