Using Address Book to send SMS via Bluetooth

Hi all,
I recently upgraded to 10.4.6 (from 10.4.5) to take advantage of the new iSync support for the Nokia N70.
(I had previously been using a modified Metaclasses.plist hack for this and prior to the upgrade to .6, restored the original .plist)
I also followed the advice in Apple article 303419 about removing the phone from iSync.
So, upgrade fine and re paired phone with iSync but now find that I can no longer use Address Book to send SMS message or dial a call to current contact.
This worked fine with the hack!
Any ideas?

I am using OS X10.4.6 via Bluetooth connecting to Nokia N70 also. I have no problem with iSync and file transfer. But I can NOT send and receive SMS from Address book.

Sending SMS via Bluetooth not working

Hi,
I have two Nokia phones, an N73 and an older 6600. I was able to pair both with the Bluetooth in my MacBook Pro SR.
I can access the web via dial-up networking, so that's working fine.
However, I am unable to send SMS via AddressBook over the phone. When I click the little connect-to-bluetooth button in AddressBook, I am first asked to pair the phone - even though it's already paired, and connects automatically on both the computer and the phone. Then, when I do enter the code on the phone, the connection just fails. The button gets a slight blue outline but the B symbol doesn't actually light up as it should.
Send SMS remains grayed out.
Has anybody got this to work or know what could be wrong?
PS: I am able to send SMS on Windows using MS SMS Sender, so I am sure that it's not the phone's fault.
This worked fine with my Titanium Powerbook with USB Bluetooth dongle.

Thanks for the response, but that's not it. The N73 is listed as supported, and iSync works perfectly well. Dial-Up networking also works perfectly well.
Only sending SMS via bluetooth doesn't work.
Also - no idea if this is related - faxing via the 6600 doesn't work anymore, which is strange because it used to work on the TiBook. Most people don't even know you can fax via Bluetooth phone and most newer phones have lost this capability so I guess this is just on its way out. Too bad because it was pretty useful...

Hello Johnerlit do u have any idea regaring this topic?
Hello everybody!
I am under a process to send sms from server that is a PC to a mobile through a mobile, which is connected to the PC act as a modem.
According to my process if the modem is GSM or CDMA, should transmit the sms, that obtained a message from PC.
The connection between the PC and the modem should be through bluethooth, but at initial I wish to try with data cable before trying with bluetooth connection.
I should not use any sms operators like Clickatell..
Can anyone say me is it possible to use J2me in Pc to develop the application and connect to the modem...
If I am wrong plz say me ur suggestion on how to proceed with this process, and also say if anyother better way is there to do.
Thanks in advance

}When i compile, there is no error. But when i execute it, the following error comes:
E:\java\JavaSmsApi>javac SerialToGsm.java

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
What might be the error? Somebody help me. Thanks in advance.

You are probably trying to run this as a CLDC application instead of a MIDP application (aka a MIDLet). Since CLDC apps start with a main(....) your runtime looks for one but does not find it, hence the error. Please recheck the project configuration.

How do I see a list of all my Apple Mail contacts. I do not use address book. I just want to see all the email addresses stored on my Mac

Hi All,
I have been using Mail for the past three years without need to send a regular mailing list mailout.
I now need to send group emails and all I want to do is browse my contacts aquired over the last three years to create a list. I have not used Address Book for anything other than phone contacts so please do not point me in that dirrection.
There must be a list of all email contacts stored somewhere on the Mac that I can look through. It is an almost impossible task to do this by browsing my inbox/sent folders.
Hope you can help and thanks in advance!
Best

Cannot send files via Bluetooth

My bluetooth used to work perfectly, but a couple of months ago a weird problem occured. People can send files to my computer normally, but i can't send anything via bluetooth.
I noticed that my sister has something like "OPEX file transfer" in the services-thingy but for me it says nothing. What's wrong?? Is there something i could do?

And yes, it is.
And on the other computer you're trying to send to?
Have you tried deleting the following from ~/Library/Preferences/
com.apple.BluetoothExplorer.plist
com.apple.BluetoothFileExchange.plist
com.apple.BluetoothSetupAssistant.plist
and
com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
from /Library/Preferences/
and then restarting and re-pairing the devices?

Using Address Book with 2 mobile phones

Since a few weeks I have a second mobile phone that I also use with iSync for contact and calendar synchronisation. The problem was that Address Book could only pair with / connect to the newly added phone, not the 'old phone' anymore.
I found some old threads with the same problem stated, but no answers were given. I did find a fix for it though. I used the application Pref Setter to clear the preferences of Address Book (you can also delete the file located at: /library/preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist). Restart Address Book and the bleutooth mobile phone entry is now empty again. You will be able to choose a phone to pair with.
However, if anyone knows how to use 2 phones simultaniously, please tell me!
Powerbook 12" Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You can't use Address Book with more than one phone at the same time unfortunately, it simply does not have this functionality.
I developed a little application called "Reset Address Book Pairing" which does exactly that without deleting (and therefore losing) your Address Book preferences. Just one setting in the prefs actually needs changing.
It's included with the Sony Ericsson Address Book Enabler, which adds Call & SMS support for over 40 new Sony Ericsson phones to the Mac Address Book.

Using Address Book as a Rock-solid business database?

My address book loses entire GROUPS.
MY wife and I sync Address Book of our business and personal contacts via MobilMe across our two Mac Desktops, our 2 Macbook pros, our iphones and an ipad. Somehow the Address Book data gets corrupted enough so that groups disappear every few months. It's very frustrating. We'll fix it and a few months later it happens again.
Address Book is the preferred database for our business contacts because of how easy syncing is and how it's so easily built within OSX. But the corruption drives us crazy. If you use Address Book for business are you NOT having this problem? Please only answer if you've been using it for a while. If I just started with address book I wouldn't have seen the problem.
We often fix it, then upload the fixed Address Book data to Mobil Me and then make sure it replaces all our data on the computers, iphones and iPad.
Is Bento an answer? Bento syncs with Address Book which is GOOD because I want access to the database everywhere. And it's BAD because this will probably happen again as Address Book syncs across the various devices.
For business contacts, what do you use so that it's more rock solid with your data? Thanks in advance.

Problems using Address Book

Hi I have two problems using address book:
1) I am writing a new email and I need the address from adsress book. How do I do this while the Email is already open? There is no icon to open the adress book?
2) When I open the adress book and add people to a group it is not updated when I type in the name of the group in while I write an email. I just added 2 people to a group of 4. It shows all 6 members in the group but only 4 show up when I want to send them an email...
I hope I was able to describe my problems.
Thank you.

For 1) just customise your toolbar to add the Address:
Sorry, don't know the answer to 2).

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade.
It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
After printing, trash the added versions.

How to reject emails using address email's sender

Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to reject emails using address email's sender.
Thanks,

sorry, I thought it was one of the built in options. you can do it with an apple script rule then.
paste the following into a blank Applescript Editor window . Applescript Editor is located in /Applications/Utilities
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;

width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages selectedMsgs
repeat with msg in selectedMsgs
tell application "Mail"
bounce msg
end tell
end repeat
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from</pre>
save the script somewhere and set your Mail rule to run this script on messages from that sender.
