Tell a Friend connection to Address Book

When I choose to share music or and app with a friend, in the email creation box, why doesn't iTunes or the app store pick up the names and email addresses from my address book?

All anyone here can tell you is "because Apple hasn't built it that way". We'd have to guess as to the whys and wherefores.
Regards.

Blackberry desktop software doesn't connect with address book

blackberry desktop software version 2.4.0 doesn't connect with address book on a mac os lion (10.7.4). Sync contacts not possible. Use a BB 9500 v5.0.0.841 (plateform 4.2.0.380). Any solution ?

You have both Desktop Software and Link set to open when a device is connected to your Mac. You need to go to the settings of Desktop Software (I don't recall exactly what to do but there should be some settings in the top right corner) and set it to not open when a device is connected. Once you have it set to not open when your phone is connected, make sure that Link is set to open. That should resolve your issue.
Let us know if that helps you.

Lync popups frequently to connect to address book.

Hi Team,
I have an issue with lync, which popups frequently to connect to address book and response groups.
Address book doesn't synchronize with the server.

Can't connect to Address Book Server anymore

I'm having a problem with our mac mini's address book server.
Users are unable to add accounts to their address books and get the error message:
»Address Book couldn't discover the account settings for the CardDAV server "XY". Make sure the user name and server address are correct, then click Create.«
However, everything works perfectly fine when i'm adding the same account on the server directly, everything works perfectly fine. In this case, it works with all possible server addresses (localhost, ip, and our dyndns address). however, none of these addresses works from the clients.
all clients are in the same subnet as the server and i turned off the firewall for testing purposes.

you're right, the description is a quite confusing.
here's another try
i have a small office network with a mac mini server, several mac clients and a speedport router which also acts as the dns server for the network. the server is used primarily as an intranet server (the whole dyndns-thing is an experiment right now).
when i add an account in the address book application of a client computer, i get the message noted in my first post. i tried connecting using the host name (xy.local) and the ip address of the server – none worked. however, when i login as a test user directly on the server and add the same account in that address book, it works normally.
another thing (and i don't know if that is related to the problem) is that since recently, browsing to xy.local in safari has been extremely slow (we're talking about 5 minutes of page load time). however, when i ping that address, it responds quite fast.
i checked the dns logs but my knowledge about dns is quite limited…

Connecting to Address book using LDAP

Address Book bluetooth connection to phone disconnects after idle time?

Address Book 4.0.3 (483)
Nokia 6680
I think receiving pop-up alerts of incoming calls on your Mac screen is pretty cool and a nice thing to have as and when required.
But in order for this to work, the bluetooth connection between Address Book and the phone needs to be active.
Unfortunately, it seems this connection becomes inactive after a certain amount of inactivity (?), and needs to be activated again with the bluetooth button. How can I keep this connection alive as long as I require it, without having to constantly use it, or keep pressing the bluetooth button?
Thanks in advance.

I have to turn Bluetooth off, then back on & turn keyboard off then back on & it works now without having to restart the computer. I did disable the box for allowing Bluetooth devices to wake the computer since my mouse isn't Bluetooth.

Address Book Sharing: are custom fields shared or left behind

I want to share an Address Book on one system with 3 other users through MobileMe. I will also allow the 3 other users to add, delete and change the contacts. All 4 systems have their own MobileMe accounts.
We make extensive use of custom relationship fields. Will those fields transfer with the with the shared contacts, or are they left behind?
(I know that only a limited number of relationship fields (no custom fields at all) in Address Book are available to Pages and Bento)
I've looked all over the Address Book sharing information (that I can find), and the issue of custom fields does not seem to be addressed in connection with Address Book Sharing.
Can anyone recommend any documentation that answers this question?
Is there any real (detailed) documentation at all about Address Book Sharing?
Thanks for your help.

@taylor thanks for the suggestion, but it's not quite what i had in mind. The red -/green + buttons are used to add/remove more items in the same category, ie., phone numbers, email addresses, URLs, etc. If you finish editing a record and then click on one of these fields, you get a contextual menu with various options.
But, my Skype name is not an email address, nor is it a phone number. It belongs in the IM section of the Contact template, but unlike the "Custom" option for labeling a Phone Number, the IM drop-down menu doesn't have a Custom option, nor a Skype option.
There are several possible workarounds, but that's the point, innit? Skype has been around a long time - there shouldn't be a need for a workaround.

Any recommendations on productivity for database and project management, Bento was good but no longer sync with ical and address book

I've unfortunately updated to the new Bento on MakBook and iPad and synced my data and in the process it tells me that iCal and Address books will not sync any more. I have several projects I am working on and looking for something that will syn with iCal, address book and Busy Cal to manage my time efficiently and seamlessly. Help?

I think you're in the wrong forum - this is for developers, who write programs for apple products.
As for Bento, their problem is due to Apple's changes in the API. The code that syncs with calendars and contacts is now deprecated, which means at some point in the future, it will no longer work. This problem will affect all developers, so you probably won't find any replacement for Bento.

IPhone not syncing Contacts to Address Book

I noticed that my iPhone (both original iPhone and iPhone 3G) was not syncing contacts with Address Book. I tried to Reset Sync History in iSync, and when I have tried to replace the contacts on iPhone under the Advanced options, I lose all my contacts on the iPhone!
The only way to get some contacts back is restoring from backup, but unfortunately as iTunes performs a backup of the iPhone on sync, these backups also have no contacts! I have an old backup that fortunately has not been overwritten but the contact list is a bit out of date.
Address Book on the Mac seems to be fine and this is backed up.
It would appear that iTunes has somehow lost its "connection" to Address Book, which is why when I chose to replace the Contacts on the iPhone with the information on the computer I lost them all!
iCal still seems to sync fine with Calendar.
Can I re-link Address Book with iTunes?

Jason L wrote:
Hey lim_my,
Are contacts syncing with MobileMe or any other applications?
I don't have MobileMe.
Now you mention it, Address Book did not appear to even update if I updated a contact in Mail.
Can you sync contacts in another User account? to create another user account goto System Preferences> Accounts> click the lock to make changes> click the + button to add another user account.
Yes I can! I only tried to sync Contacts, leaving all other options i.e Calendars Bookmarks Ringtones Music Videos Applications untouched, and now I have some test Contacts on the iPhone.
You can try Resetting the SyncServices folder, Just follow the steps in this article to stop the service and then delete the SyncServices folder in your user library.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
I had tried this before, within iSync, which did not work. I then tried the command in Terminal as per the above link, then went and deleted the /user/Library/ Sync Services folder. Still no joy.
So it looks as though I have a broken Address Book rather than iTunes. Should I post this in the OS X Leopard section of Discussions?

How do I download mac address book for OS X Lion

My address book crashses as soon as it starts. I cannot find the address book to delete and re-install it as there is no folder called Library/Application Support/Address Book.
Can someone either direct me to the right filder to delelete the address book so I can start again or tell me how to download Address book agaian.
I do not have a disk adn I downaloded the update from the web. I am running OSX 10.7.5
Help!

Address book is part of OS X and cannot be downloaded. I suspect you have a preference issue with it. OS X stores these in these two files:
com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
com.apple.AddressBook.plist
You need to locate both and drag each to the desktop. Once you have done so for both, restart Address Book and retest. To locate these files simply:
1. Finder - Go Menu - Go to....
2. Type ~/Library/Preferces/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist and hit the enter key. OS X will then disply the file.
3. Repeat step 2 only this time use ~/Library/Preferces/com.apple.AddressBook.plist

How do I reinstall Address Book for Leopard

I just bought a new iMac with 10.5. Thought I would be smart and insert the Address Book from a backup on my previous Mac. It replaced the 10.5 Address Book with my backup copy (like I wanted). However, I now get a message that tells me that version of Address Book doesn't work with 10.5. Now, I have no Address Book.
Anyone know how I can download or otherwise get the Address Book that comes with 10.5 on my computer?

Use Pacifist to extract the Address Book application from the iMac's original disks, and then copy over the Address Book database from the Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ of your home folder on the backup.

Address Book entries deleted... then reappear!

When I connect my address book to MobileMe, I am finding certain rogue address book entries that I want to change or delete, but they never retain the changes for very long.
I delete or edit, sync to MobileMe righ away, and see the change correctly on both MobileMe, iPhone, and computer. Then, the next day or two, it randomly shows up again with the old data.
I even tried resetting the sync data with the address book, to no avail.
Any suggestions?

I would try to connect to mobile me on your "master" device. The one that is most correct. Reset all mobile me services, and have your computer replace the contents on mobile me. Then I would disable and re-enable each of the other devices. That way it completely clears out mobile me, and then sets up each device again.

Outlook Connector - Address book - Global Address List

Using Outlook Connector version 7.2.402.1 on both Outlook 2003 and 2007 I am having an issue when trying to view the Global Address List. The vertical scroll bar doesn't activate unless I resize my Address Book window. Even after that it doesn't work that well. It is very erratic.
I have set up a VLV index for the Address book as follows:
dn: cn=outlook_connector_browsing_index,cn=xyz,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
cn: outlook_connector_browsing_index
objectclass: top
objectclass: vlvSearch
vlvbase: o=xyz.edu,dc=xyz,dc=edu
vlvfilter: (&(mail=*)(cn=*))
vlvscope: 2
dn: cn=Sort cn,cn=outlook_connector_browsing_index,cn=xyz,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
cn: Sort cn
objectclass: top
objectclass: vlvIndex
vlvenabled: 1
vlvsort: cn
Doing a tail -f on the access log while using the Address Book I can see the VLV index being used. Is there something buggy with the Outlook Connector or is there something I missed in the VLV index?
Thanks,
Scott

Users are unable to log into the Address Book server though Outlook if the Address Book (in Communications Express) is in SSL mode.
Workaround: Open Communications Express within Internet Explorer and permanently accept the self-signed certificate.In this case instead of Communications Express, you would log into Convergence using the SSL path (https://server.domain.com/iwc) and permanently accept the certificate.

Address Book: 10.4.3 broke SMS for Nokia 6600 and Moto Razr

After upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.3 I could not send SMS
messages or dial when paired to my Nokia 6600, button turns blue.
This feature worked fine with 10.3.3, at least iSync still works...
Also with a new Motorola Razr, I could sync but couldn't
connect with Address Book, the Bluetooth button does not
even turn blue. Needless to say that it is not possible to
send SMS or dial.
My bluetooth software and firmware is up to date and I am
using the Apple built-in Bluetooth interface
Apple support, please help!
Thank you,
Andrea

Exact same problem here with my Razr V3.
It's disappointing that the phone is featured in a photo on the iSync page, but is not supported in Address Book.
Take a peek at Address Book.app/Contents/Resources/Telephony.Bundle/Contents/Resources/ABDeviceCommand Sets.plist .
So, who knows the proper strings for the Razr V3? I wonder if they can be pulled from BluePhoneElite. .

Address Book and Iphoto

Why is iphoto not connected to address book for inserting peoples pic/images like other ilife programs?
It is very annoying. or is there something I am not getting?
When I edit a card and click to change images and then "choose image" I get a finder. I want a media/listing of my albums in iphoto.
Can I get this to happen?
Thanks.

Probably the easiest way to get a picture from iPhoto to AddressBook is to open iPhoto and drag the picture from the iPhoto window to the card displayed in AddressBook - You don't even need to go into the Edit mode..
