Syncing message Address Book

I just start receiving a MobileMe message to sync my Address Book, that it would delete my 790 contacts (all of my contacts) and 0 to add. I clicked to sync later and tried to see what was going on. I opened my Me account and my Address Book has no contacts. I tried to import my AB Archive but with no success. Only adding vCards... one by one? over 700?... I tried every way possible, but I did not find one to export my AB Archive to MobileMe AB.
Any help will be great. Thanks!

HT1351 My fifth generation nano will no longer sync my address book from my Mac. It gives me an error message that "You have no contacts" and asks me if I want to create some. My address book is full of contacts. Sync works for everything else.

My 5th generation nano will no longer Sync my address book from my Mac. It gives me a message that I have no "Contacts", and asks if I want to create some. My address book is full of contacts, but for some reason it thinks it is empty. All the other sync operations work fine including iCal. My Mac is running OS X 10.7.4.

It sounds like all of your contacts on your Mac running Lion are actually stored up in iCloud.
Several users running Mac OS X Lion and now ML (and iCloud) have no longer been able to "sync" contacts over to their older iPods models.
A work around is to export all of your contacts out of Address Book as vCards and them copy these vCards into your iPod's Contacts folder. You'll need to have the Enable Disk Use option ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in order to browse out to the iPod's Contacts folder via the Finder.
Using your iPod as a storage drive
That's the only "solution" I have been able to use to get contacts to sync/appear on my 5G iPod Video.

You can not create an iCloud account on a PC, you may create one on an iPad, iPhone or a Mac

Sync of address book/contacts not "taking"

I watched the tutorial on how to sync my address book on my laptop with the iMac contacts. Then I followed the instructions today (8/12/07), and I seemed to have synced successfully. However, when I login to iMac and open the address book, I still get the message "Last synchronized on 07/08/2007 at 10:55 AM" and the data is NOT synced. I've gotten no error message to indicate that I didn't sync properly, so why is the data not updated?
Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

The simplest way to do that would be to create a group in Contacts that has just the ones you want and only sync that group to your iPhone.

How can I sync the address book from Mail to my Address book?

Ok, I open a new message and click on the Address Book icon in the new message to find my contacts on the address book, I choose the group I am looking for and the group has people on it that I have already deleted from my address book! How can I sync the address book from Mail to my Address book?

It is using the same database on disk. You may have to re-launch Mail.

Online Backup Assistant and Text Messaging address books

It appears that my contact list as found in Backup Assistant is totally separate from my address book as found on the Send a Text Message page.
Am I correct?
If so, is there a way to copy my Backup Assistant contact list to my Send a Text Message address book?
If there is no way to synchronize these lists, I would request that such a feature be added.

Am I correct? Yes, that is correct. The backup Assistant is synced to your actual phone, and the address book for vtext. com is limited to the contacts you enter there and text through that method.
If so, is there a way to copy my Backup Assistant contact list to my Send a Text Message address book? I don't believe there is. I'm not sure there is a way to import ANY contact list to the vtext.com pages, at this point.
If there is no way to synchronize these lists, I would request that such a feature be added. Let's hope someone who can do something will see this and pass along the suggestion....

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.

Cannot sync my Address Book to Contacts

I cannot sync my Address Book to my .Mac. I always get this message
"Invalid response received from .Mac. Could not complete synchronization - please try again later". My password and account info is correct and I have followed the instructions for sycing with .mac account...Please help!

Thank you again for your help. I probably was not as clear in my answer as I should have been. I did follow the instructions in the linked article, even though it was for the iPhone. Since I do not have a Windows Hotmail account, I could not use that guidance. I will just type in the addresses I need as I need them when using the iPad device. It would be much simpler if I could have just synced them directly to the device.
Thank you.

How can I get my iphone to sync its address book with my mac?

I have iCloud configured to sync my address books, but they don't. I have all my contacts on my phone and want to be able to have them put onto my mac. I've never been able to figure this out. I used to have the sync address books setting selected (before iCloud), and it still never synced. I've read other discussions on this and have tried adding a contact to see if it prompts a message about merging contacts come up, but nothing seems to work. I have tried everything it seems. Any help?

You'll have to use Wi-Fi to sync, Bluetooth is not supported:
You can use iPhone with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and other Bluetooth devices, such as Bluetooth headsets, car kits, and stereo headphones. Third-party Bluetooth headphones may support volume and playback controls. See the documentation that came with your Bluetooth device. For supported Bluetooth profiles, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
From the manual: iphone_user_guide 5 page 109
Use iCloud to keep Contacts up to date on your iOS devices and computers
Go to Settings > iCloud, then turn on Contacts. See “iCloud” on page 17.

Blackberry desktop manager 5.0 won't sync windows address book/mail

Hi,
before I upgrade my laptop to win7 64 bit with DM 5.0, I had Vista 64 bit with DM 5.0 and I was able to sync windows address book.
Now on my win7, I can't select it anymore. I install the same software what I use on vista to win7. I use a blackberry tour, OS 4.7.
Like the picture see here : http://images.crackberry.com/files/u7860/Outlook_Sync_Selection.jpg
you can see that you can select windows address book/mail.
I try on win7, to install the latest DM, but still can't check windows address book/mail. I uninstall it, reinstall DM 5.0, also no luck. I remove intelisync, try again, still no luck.
Any idea how to get the it to sync with windows address book/mail ?
Thanks

How to sync my address book to here

I went to my AT&T account to sync my address book but it said I needed to download Mozilla so I did and now what do I do?

What steps are you following to sync the addresses? Firefox sync does not sync contacts, however Firefox Hello has contacts on the Desktop version of Firefox.

How to sync my Address Book data on my iPhone to my Address Book in my Mac and viceversa

Hi guys -- When I was using mobileme, any change I made on the Address Book of my iPhone would sync automatically to mobileme and to the Address Book of my desktop iMac, it was hassle-free.
Now that iCloud has replaced mobileme, how can I do the same?
I've already updated my iPhone 3GS to the latest iOS 5 and my iMac is running 10.6.8.
Do I HAVE to upgrade to Lion?? I don't want to.
Best!

You do have to upgrade to Lion to enable you mac to sync with iCloud, as it is built into OS X in System Preferences (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html). Once you do this you can enable syncing with Address Book, iCal, etc.

IPhone Won't Sync With Address Book

I am asking this question for a friend who lives abroad. They have an iPhone which has been set up at work to sync with Outlook over the air. He wants to share some of those contacts with his wife who syncs using iTunes. I suggested to him that he syncs via iTunes to Address Book, makes two Groups in Address Book, one each, and drag the desired contacts to each Group then sync the phone again. She can then select the group she wants to use in the Contacts app. However, no matter what he does he cannot get the contacts on his phone to sync with Address Book. I think he may need to make a new account and populate it with contacts from Outlook, could anyone give me advice as to whether this is the right method?
They are using iPhone4's running iOS5 and Lion 10.7.2
Thanks in advance for any help.

It's a limitation of ActiveSync & the way virtually every employer wants it. Fact is, you cannot sync contacts from a work exchange account with a supported contact application on your computer.

Outlook won't sync with Address book

Since moving to Lion and using Icloud, my Outlook address book won't sync with Address Book at all. I have sync services selected in Outlook. Calendar won't sync either. Does it just not work anymore?

Hey, I'm Michael and I work for connex.io, an address book app.
Did you try hooking them all up to iCloud? That should do that trick for Address Book and iPhone.
Alternatively, you could try connex.io. You would be able to sync all of your contacts between iPhone, Address Book and Outlook (and more if you want to). It also de-duplicates, cleans, completes and updates your contacts for you. So you jsut connect your services and connex.io takes care of the rest.
If you want to try connex.io, check out: www.connex.io or if you need any more tips: [email protected]
I hope this helped you out.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
Thank you so much.
I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos?
