Synch Palm desktop contacts with address book and keep groups

I currently have a palm treo and run the palm desktop to coordinate all of my contacts and would like to import this into the address book. The problem is I have the contacts seperated by a category and would like to keep them seperated when they are in the address book. is there a way to do this when they are imported?

the missing synch software takes care of this.

  • Syncing Google Gmail Contacts with Address Book and iPhone Contacts

    Can anyone recommend a good way to sync Google Gmail Contacts with the Address Book on the Mac and with Contacts on the iPhone?
    I tried using ABGMerge, but could not get it to work so and am looking for other options. Thanks.

    The Plaxo 3 non-pubic beta application currently supports only Mozilla and FireFox 1.5 and Internet Explorer 6. Safari support, and support for updated OS X thrid-party browsers, has not yet been released. To say that there are some anomalies and visual artifacts with Safari 2, would be an understatement. But, then, I often find this to be the case with beta—particularly, pre-public beta, software.
    The current release—build 356—supports these 'sync points:'
    • Mac OS X through a System Preferences pane
    • AOL and AIM
    • LinkedIn
    • mobile access
    • MSN and WIndows Live
    • Outlook
    • Outlook Express
    • Windows Mail
    • Yahoo
    It does not yet support Google. Or, not yet reliably or completely. The little 'hippo' that pops up periodically in the beta says, "Google Calendar Sync has been temporarily disabled. We are working diligently to resolve the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience."
    The verdict at the moment: contact synchronization performs as it always has with Plaxo. Calendar synchronization is clearly not yet ready for prime-time, even to the Plaxo 3 web interface itself.

  • I use macbook and lion os. I want to sync gmail contact with address book. For this i goto preference in address book and select "sync with google". I put my gmail details. However, the sync does not happen. Please help.

    i use macbook and lion os 10.7.2.

    You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

  • 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.

  • 3G IPod nano won't sync with Address Book and iCal

    I connected my new 3G iPod nano (4GB) to USB2.0 port of aluminum keyboard on new 20" aluminum iMac. MP3 song files (total 623) transferred without problem, but whenever I tried to enable syncing of Address Book and iCal under Contacts tab in iTunes 7.4.1 window, error message popped up stated that there are no contacts in Address Book when there are actually 57 contacts already in Address Book. Creating new contacts in Address Book and recreating address book and iTunes library files in user's library folder did not help at all. The syncing of Address Book only work under new user account in Mac OS 10.4.10 (with all Apple updates applied). May I know what have gone wrong with my account ?
    I have wasted one hour with call routed to hopeless Apple support center in India. They only want you to keep reseting everything until it work so that they can put the blame on you.

    I have had same problem since I got my nano 2 months ago. At least with latest firmware update, when you DO see Contacts they contain their complete Notes! I have tried using iTunes sync to sync my full AddressBook with 900 entries, but this routinely failed to load any more than 600 entries with message saying so. Calendar has been even more problematic until I created a sub-view of my full calendar with just the prior 1 month and future 2 months event entries; then at least I could see the Calendar - but NEVER after immediately a sync, only after i reset the Nano. And finally I have used iPDA (ZappTek) to transfer News, RSS feeds, Weather updates for cities, & selected Documents and these too transfer completely (as inspection of the iPod as Disk shows), but needs a full reset to get them to show. Even then when you first highlight the "Notes" menu option you see it display "No Notes" but then when you click/select it, it starts "Loading them with a counter: sometimes the count is complete, sometimes it "aborts" and then you can only see some of the notes you loaded. I view this as a bug. I believe that the Nano is indexing these entries and either completes it or aborts, for an unknown "bug" reason. The ZappTek developer suggested there is a definite RAM (not storage) limitation in the Nano which prevents the Nano from handling very large sets of entries, but I should think a software update might be able to fix this by not trying to load everything at once.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT204150 Hi, I made a mistake by allowing facebook to download all my contacts in my address book. Now i need to clean my address book and keep only my original contacts. If i do it on my macbook, will it reflect on my iphone?

    Hi, I made a mistake by allowing facebook to download all my contacts in my address book. Now i need to clean my address book and keep only my original contacts. If i do it on my macbook, will it reflect on my iphone? Or will my iphone redownload all the contacts i deleted when i connect it to my macbook or through the cloud?
    when working with icloud, is there a primary device (macbok, ipad...) on which if the changes are made, they reflect on all other devices?

    I see.  If you are syncing contacts with iCloud on both your Mac and your iPhone, deleting a contact from either device will delete them from icloud.com and all other devices. 
    What's really going on with iCloud is that your contacts actually reside on the iCloud server.  Your Mac and iPhone are merely reading the current contact list as it exists on the server.  When you delete a contact (or make any other change) on either device, you are making these changes on the server.  As a result, all other devices "syncing" contacts with the same iCloud account will read this change.  When you log onto icloud.com, you are viewing the server from your browser.

  • Problem with Address Book and Exchange

    Hello,
    I have a little problem with Address Book and Microsoft Exchange 2003. I am able to connect to Outlook Web Access via Safari without problem. I see my contacts. Unfortunately when I setup everything needed in Address Book preferences (Synchronize with Exchange) the contacts didn't show in my Address Book. Strange thing is that no error is generated. can someone please help me what I am doing wrong ? Thanks in advance.

    My suggestion is that you consider using Microsoft Entourage. For Exchange users on a Mac, Entourage is by far the best option. The down side is, you need to buy Microsoft Office 2004 to get Entourage, but your employer might own a site license, in which case, Office 2004 might not cost you anything.

  • Connect to LDAP with Address Book and Mail

    The admin guide for OD is pretty vague from what I've been able to figure out. How do I connect to my LDAP with Address Book and Mail? I'm sure this is a really simple setup and I'm just missing some minor detail.

  • Problems synching iPhone 3Gs with Address Book and Calender

    I have an iPhone 3Gs and have begun to notice that information is not being synched between Calender and the phone and Address Book and the phone. I now also have duplicate contacts for all contacts that were in my orginal iPhone before I upgraded. I suspect it has something to do with mobileme (which I don't subscribe to) and I have tried all the various synch options in iTunes. I know people have been having the problem and have solved theirs with the help of mobileme. How can I solve it without subscribing?

    Yes I have a similar problem.
    I lost all my contacts (today 23rd Mat 2011) on my 3G iPhone and the Address Book on my Mac Pro also.
    The contacts in my MS Outlook were intact  I run Outlook:Mac 2011.
    They have only just fixed the issue with the Calendar in this version 2 weeks ago an MS issue.
    I plugged in the iPhone last night to charge and synch and this morming the phone had no contacts and I had lost all the address Book I had some  group headings  (greyed out)
    It's almost like a plot to get Outlook users frustrated and make them switch but, Outlook is too good.
    Outlook:mac 2011 contacts does not synch with Mac address book

  • How do I get rid of SYNC ALERT - I think it has to do with Address Book - I keep unchecking and it keeps popping up!!

    Well I was following some instructions on possibly syncing the Mac Address Book with Google and its created havoc.  I dont know if the instructions might have been for a previous OS or what.  I originally was looking for ways to sync the Address Book with Gmail for an Android Phone...but for now, I just exported the Address Book to Gmail and will deal with new contacts as they come.
    But what these instructions told me to do was to go to Address Book/Preferences/Accounts and check Synchronize with Google....Now Im not sure if thats what I want or what exactly that will do.  (Since I already had exported my Address Book contacts to Gmail, the Google contacts should be the same as the Mac ones...but I got an error of 25 changes so I didnt want it to synchronize and tried to cancel it.)
    I keep unchecking the box where it says Synchronize with Google but somehow it keeps getting checked again automatically.  Every now and then a SYNC CONTACTS pop up comes up - and I dont know what to do because it doesnt give me an option to CANCEL ...It just says sync now or sync later...Again it tells me it has found 25 differences...which I find impossible (and when I check 'see details' - it seems like theyre the exact same contacts)...After the popup comes up, I check the Address Book and that sync with Google magically gets checked again -even though I keep unchecking it.
    I dont know what to do !  Everything I find in forums talks about deleting mobileme or isync but I dont have and never have used any of those things.  The forums said to delete isync from your Applications folder, but I dont have it there.
    Any ideas?  I just want to stop the popups!

  • 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.

  • Sync contacts between Address Book and Gmail

    Hi,
    I am one of those Android mobile users who wants to sync his contacts with his Mac's address book. Going to Address Book > Preferences > Accounts > sync with Google, has proven ineffective. Not only does it not sync (I have tested making changes in Gmail and checking if changes are reflected in Address Book, and viceversa) but it also creates duplicates every time it syncs.
    I would highly appreciate any recommendation on how to proceed. It seems like other users have had similar problems. I am running OSX 10.6.8 on my Mac and Android 4.2.1 on my mobile device.
    Thanks to everyone.
    Best,
    Marcos.

  • Aperture remove integration with address book and faces

    Is there a way to remove the Faces integration with address book?
    Reason I ask is because there seems to be not a good way to integrate the faces with the address book unless there is? For example, in faces I probably have about 20 that are family and close friends. In my address book, I have maybe 200 contacts. When I face people in pictures, I don't want to choose from a list of 200. Plus I notice if I have a friend tagged already, they show up as my friend John, but show up in the list from address book as John B, so who do I pick? How can I just make it one? There are many people that I would want nicknames in faces for or like "Dad" instead of my dad's full name like I have in the address book.
    Is anyone else having these issues? How to best integrate with address book or how do I remove the integration?

    Even if I attempt to integrate the faces with address book by typing in the full name in the faces after click "i" in the face, then it combines it, but then the address book face disappears to blank with no picture.
    very odd behavior, how are you guys dealing with this? Seems like some setting needs to be set otherwise I would think this issue would have been taken care of a long time ago by apple?

  • Question about synching gmail contacts with address book

    Hi,
    I recently discovered that it is possible to synch gmail contacts with apple addressbook. I also found out this feature only works if you have an iphone or an ipod touch. Unfortunatly, I don't have either. I then discovered there was a work around for this:

    *My question is*..............
    I'm planning on getting an iphone in half a year and if i mess with these settings will i have to change them back to be able to synch my iphone? or will my iphone be able to synch with the way the new settings are anyway?
    Thanks

    Does your question have anything remotely to do with iWeb 09? This is an iWeb 09 forum - did you not look where you were posting?
    No - so it is not relevant to this forum. Please post in somewhere that is more relevant, such as the iPhone forum or the iPad forum.

  • IOS 5.0.1 glitch with address book and text messages!

    Since updating to the newest software, my iphone 4s no longer recognizes contacts in my address book.  So when a text comes through it doesn't have a contact assigned to it.  Same thing when a call comes through, just the phone number shows up.  Also I noticed that some of the phone numbers I have in my address book are not inputed the same as others.  example of how it should look : +1 (555) 555-5555.  After the update the numbers look like this : 5555555555
    I have had to go back in and manually input the +1 infront of all of these phone numbers to even activate a call using that contact number.  Also my wifi connection seems to come and go,  sometimes recognizing my wireless network when I am at home and sometimes it doesnt.  Anybody else having these problems? 

    I am having a problem similar. My messages come in with the phone number showing if the number is entered without the number 1 in front of it, but when I try to have siri call someone who doesn't have the number 1 infront, she can't call them. It was working fine yesterday before the upgrade
