The isync database, as I called it, is really just the master database from which ical, address book, bookmarks, etc., are stored, and it's used for syncing with the .mac service. Entourage can sync with it too, just go to the Entourage menu, choose Preferences, and look under General Preferences for Sync Services. Then check the boxes you want -- I just wanted the contacts to be the same in Entourage and Address Book so I only checked that one. The calendar is kind of funky because iCal uses separate calendars to group events, and I think if you check that box, iCal will then get a new calendar called Entourage, or something like that, in which all the Entourage events will go to and from. That is, I think Entourage will sync only with that iCal calendar, but I could be wrong about that since I don't use it.
Once you check the contacts box, Entourage will populate with all the contacts in your Address Book, and I think if you don't already have contacts there (that is if you've only been using Entourage for your contacts) then it will ask you if you want to put all your Entourage contacts into Address Book. I just don't remember.
Surely someone else out there is more familiar with this, but it should get you started.

  • Synchronising Entourage to Mac Address Book and iCal

    I've done my initial sync between Entourage 2008 (Version 12.3.5), iCal and Mac Address Books but now if I update anything in the Entourage Calendar or Address Book, it fails to then send the info to iCal and Mac Address Book. Therefore, the info isn't making it to my iPhone which is updated to the Phone iOS 6.0.1.
    Has anyone had the same problems and if so how did you fix it?
    I've done a lot of reading to try and find out what is wrong but I'm just getting more and more frustrated. I did read something about having the Daylight Saving Modes switched on or off but can't remember if it was on or off.
    I don't see why I should have to export/import ALL the info every single time. It used to work quite ok but just ins't anymore?? I think it somehow worked through iSync?
    Oh, and on top of that, if I put anything on my iPhone Address Book or Calendar, it's not synchronising to my Mac! Actually, I've just checked and addresses are synchronising to my Address Book but not then Synchronising to the Entourage Address Book.
    And I seem to be getting double ups of entries on my iPhone from my Calendar if I make a change, instead of updating the info in the actual event already created AND I get balnk "new events"! Rather annoying!!
    I don't use iCloud either. Apparently that would just make things even worse.
    HELP!!
    PS. It seems the only way to sync things is by remembering what I've added to either Address Boook or Calendars on either one of the devices/programs and update it manually on all the others via exporting a single vcf file ...

  • Iphone Sync deleted all contacts on google, Mac Address Book and Itunes

    I have my phone synced to my google contacts. I did a sync trying to sync itunes, google and my address book and now everything has been deleted. I created a back up a month ago but when I do a restore from back up, it still does not give me my contacts, some how it is still syncing to google which is now blank. It's weird because the restore even gives me texts and photos I had on the back up date but it won't give me the contacts. I have tried changing the settings on the phone so it won't sync to google, I even changed my password on google hoping this would stop teh sync & allow the backup to show my contacts. I have tried using an iphoen extractor as well but since my phone is not jailbroken I am unable to use the file. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

    Sorry, should have given more info-I have an iphone 3G, MacBook Pro, operating system is MAC OS X.
    Iphone syncs to google contacts but last sync deleted all of them (google & address book). I do have a back up which I know has all the contacts but when I do the restore, it still is syncing to google so I still don't have any contacts. How do I get my contacts from the backup & prevent the iphone from over riding the back up & syncing to google?

  • Sync Treo 755p with Mac address book and ical

    I just bought a Treo 755p Verizon.  I loaded in the Palm software, but it does not sync with the mac address book.  I don't want to have to re-enter 600 contacts.  How can I get Palm and Mac address book to talk to each other?
    Post relates to: Treo 755p (Verizon)

    Well, I got some good news for you.  I just synced my Treo 755p with my Macbook Pro using both the palm sync and isync.  It synced both my iCal & Address book. It has to do with the conduit setting in the palm sync manager.  Here's what I did...try it and let me know.
    I downloaded the latest version of the Palm Desktop (although I do not use it)
    Then, at the top of the page of the Palm Desktop go to "HotSync" then to "Conduit Settings"
    Then highlight "iSync Conduit" by clicking on it and press the big square button at the top called "Conduit Settings"
    Then check the box :enable isync for this device"  Then click OK.
    This did it for me....It's syncing with my ical, addressbook, etc.
    Let me know if this helps!!!
    Thanks for yours!!

  • How to sync iPhone 4 contacts to Mac address book

    Hello!
    I can sync all my contacts from the Mac address book on my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4. However, why does it not sync the iPhone contacts to the Mac address book? Should it not be like a two way sync? I was looking at the syncing options but it does give that option. I just want to make sure that I have the same contacts on my iPhone and Mac. I do understand that MobileMe does that. But till I can afford to have MobileMe, maybe there is another solution?
    Anybody... help!

    I had a major drama doing this last night, have managed to restore my Address Book file with a backup after I mistakenly wiped all the contacts I had created on my iPhone. Yikes! I suggest when you sync your iPhone leave it plugged in after the sync until you check that the contacts are all where they should be. That way, the most recent backup that is done automatically when you plug in the iPhone will still have all your iPhone contacts should something go amiss and they can be restored. Also export your computer's Address Book (File>Export in Address Book) which should land in your Documents folder.
    To get all my iPhone's contacts back into my Mac's Address Book, I created a group in my Mac Address Book called 'iPhones contacts'. When I synced the iPhone with my Mac, (Info tab>Sync Address Book Contacts in iTunes), I checked the box that says 'Add contacts created outside of groups on this iPhone to...' and checked the new 'iPhone contacts' group and when I synced, all the new contacts on the iPhone landed in my Mac's Address Book. Phew. Heartstopper!

  • Managing pesonal AND Corp/push address book and calendar.

    I have read through several pages of postings and not found anything on this, and I can't be the only one impacted by this...
    I connected to my corp email server today, and to my surprise all my personal contacts AND my personal calendar were both wiped out. I expected them to merge... or at a minimum a "sure you wanna do this" but neither just gone.
    I understand you can't have Mobile me AND Exchange sync since those are both over the air...but can't I have all my work data sync in real time and my personal calendar and address book just sync when I connected to sync my itunes library since those don't change much? Surely... you can have two calendars (or at least two views?) and lists of contact's- can't you??

    FYI My personal contacts and calendar are in "address book" and "ical"... if you couldnt guess that.

  • HT5500 Facebook photos not integrating into Mac Address Book and iMessage

    Anyone have any idea why ALL my Facebook contacts photos aren't flowing into my address book on my Mac & iMessage (on Mac)? Most of them are, but not all of them. I have tried "updating contacts" under Facebook settings on my iPhone several times.

    Ill take a look at that website.  I have heard you can sync with Gmail or Yahoo.  The problem is Ive never stored contacts there.  There's a lot more spam in those histories than contacts Id want to keep.
    I wasnt asking about a particular phone but in general.  Im not really a techie and I currently have an older non-smartphone.
    Im assuming if I had an iphone, there would be an easy way to transfer or sync the address book.  If t here isnt, then Id be very surprised.
    I might have to go with an Android or other phone only because the monthly plans on the iphone are much more expensive.
    I was also wondering in general how it works with Verizon or Sprint since they dont have SIM cards.
    Ill look at that site you recommended; thanks

  • Android Syncing with Mac Address Book and iCal

    I'm getting a Motorola Droid (can't get an iPhone due to poor ATT service in my area).
    Question: Is it possible to sync directly between Mac iCal and Address Book to Android (Motorola Droid) without intervention from Google sync? (and keeping the information from syncing to Google)
    I don't want my contacts and calender stored in Googles cloud.
    Thanks

  • How do I resolve sync issues between mac address book and iPhone

    I have iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1) and OSX Lion, ITunes 10.6 and use iCloud.
    In Itunes I do not have 'Sync Contacts ticked' as it says my Contacts are being synced over the air. If I put contacts on either device then they do not sync with the other devise.
    If I do tick this box then my iPhone contacts duplicate but the contacts on Address book that are not on iPhone do not transfer and contacts on iPhone do not go to address book!
    Any ideas with any settings etc. that I can do to resolve this. It all used to work fine before iCloud but even after turning iCloud off this no longer works.

    I had the same problem.  The following link solved my problem, in particular "Step 5".  The regestry entries did the job.  I think there is a problem with the iTunes 64-bit installer.

  • How do I sync Google Contacts with my Mac Address Book?

    Greetings all,
    I use Google Contacts to store and manage all of my contacts; this way they are always the same on my iPhone and iPad.  I would like to have them synchronized with my Address Book on my MacBook Pro.  Is there any way to do this?
    I did setup the Goggle sync in the Address Book preferences, however nothing happened.  Meaning, no sync occurred...
    Thank you,

  • I cannot sync my mac address book and BlackBerry

    I have successfully installed the BlackBerry desktop software and was successful at syncing my calendar.  However, my contacts will not sync.  I get a message that my phone is set to wirelessly update and I need to shut it off.  I follow the instructions to go to options and chose desktop or wireless sync off; neither of these options exist on my phone options.  I do not know what a BES is but I don't think I have one; this is a personal phone.  I've read several posts about this but none of them seem to answer this question.

  • Address book and exchange

    Hi,
    I'm using exchange email at work and I already configured my ipad to sync with email, contacts and calendar.
    The problem is that when I connect my iPad with iTunes to sync them also with my Mac (Address Book and Calendar), the exchange contacts on my iPad are not listed in iTunes.
    Can you please help on how to copy and sync exchange contacts/calendars from my iPad to my MAC?
    Thanks

    Arrgggh! That's a bummer, they could just strip out the notes if they had attachments or something.. or give an error. I have no attachments, and notes are extremely important to me.
    Oh well.. there goes my ability to do away with Entourage!
