Why is my address book not synching

Since upgrading to OSX Lion on my MacBook and also joiningiCloud, I can no longer synch my iPhone and Mac.  I think it may have something to do with the Mac and the iPhone pointing to iCloud... not sure.  Now when I plug the iPhone into the Mac Address Book and iCal no longer synch.

thanks for the question!
i have an iphone that uses addresses/contacts.  i don't use icloud because i was getting doubled calendar entries.
updating is done "via itunes on this computer"

  • Why does my address book not sync to iCloud?

    Why does my address book not sync to iCloud?

    I believe the duplicate address book accounts stems from the move from MobileMe to iCloud and both accounts still being active.
    This is how I merged the two address books:
    1) To make sure all the contacts are in both:
    a) I selected On My Mac account - clicked on any address - Command A to select all - drag the contacts to the iCloud account - answered OK to merge and resolve duplicates.
    b) same in reverse: select the iCloud account - click on an address - click Command A to select all - drag the contacts to the On My Mac account - answer OK to merge and resolve duplicates.
    In system preferences I found an iCloud icon and also a MobileMe icon. I was logged in under both.
    1)  In the Address Book preferences I selected iCloud and unchecked Enable this account.
    2)  In the Address Book I selected iCloud and clicked on the minus “-” to remove that account – leaving only the local Mac address book.
    3)  I went into system preferences and logged out of MobileMe
    4)  In system preferences I opened iCloud and the “Contacts” was not selected (from above) and I selected it.
    I got a dialog box asking if I wanted to merge the iCloud contact with the local contacts – clicked YES.
    … spinning wheel for a minute … voila – only one address book account – iCloud with syncing to iCloud and my iPhone.

  • New contacts in address book not synching with mobile me

    Just thought I'd add a solution to anyone who had a similar problem as mine. This had been going on for a while and I just finally got around to trying to fix it.
    I'm using mobileme. The specific problem I had was adding new contacts on my main computer's address book, and then they were not updating the mobileme address book, and in so doing would keep deleting the newly inputted contact on my main computer's address book. Really frustrating. All the old contacts were synching fine, it was just new contacts that I added.
    In the end, I found the answer, and it was a corrupted 'Addressbook-v22.abcddb' in my home folder/library/appl support/addressbook I moved it to the desktop and restarted address book.
    Now, everything works as it should.
    Just thought I'd share if anyone else is having the same weird issue.

    Thanks Philip!

  • Why will my address book not open it says not supported on this architecture

    When I clicked on my address book widget a received a note that says "not supported on this architecture" and would not open my address book. 
    I have never had this problem before.  Can anyone help me resolve this issue?  I am not computer savy so please be patient with me.

    When I select the AB application in the applications finder when I click on it it gives me the same message about not being supported by this architecture.  I can tell you I bought this computer 3 years ago. Sorry I warned you I am NOT a computer person that is why I have a mac

    When you make changes in AB, quit Mail for the changes to be added to Mail's database file. Reopen Mail and try it.

  • Address Book not synching on icloud

    Computer at work (iMac) has new Address Book entry, not seen on computer at home (Mac Pro).  Both running 10.7.4 with iCloud updated and Address Book checked.

    I just unsuccessfully tried going to iCloud on the home MacPro, unchecking contacts, agreed to deletion of files on my Mac, then rechecked.  Happily all old contacts still there but the new one was not....

  • Synch outlook contacts to contacts in blackberry storm 9550 with wired connection: "address book not installed"

    I have been synching outlook, calendar, address book contacts, task and memos, to my blackberry storm 9550 using outlook 2003 for about 6 months.  Somewhere along the line, MS Outlook on my PC no longer synchs with Blackberry contacts. I can still synch calendar, tasks and memos, but get a "not installed" for the address book contacts.  I have installed the latest blackberry desktop 6.1.0B38 and tried to reconfigure.  I still get "address book not installed" for the contacts.  This is a wired synch and wireless is turned off.  Any ideas how to fix?

  • "Address Book (not installed)" in Organizer

    I updated both my device software (5.0.0.973) and my desktop software (6.0.0.43) this morning.  After updating, when trying to sync to Outlook 2007 after that to the address book, it gave me a 0x80040fb3 error and wouldn't do any more synching.  I tried to delete the pictures and the problem contacts in Outlook.  Same thing happened after that.  Then I tried deleting the data in the Address Book and restoring it from backup.  Now it states in the Organizer screen of the BBDS that  "Address Book (not installed)".  I attempted to go to setup and click on the box to enable synching, but it won't save my selection.  My address on the device has been messed up ever since the original upgrade.  It only says one name and doesn't give me any options.  I might have messed this up when attempting to delete files.  Don't know.  Anyone know how to restore functionality to my address book?
    The above error occurred one time with Tasks synching and one time with Calendar synching.  Tried to delete all problem entries.

    I am running 6.0.0.43 desktop manager.  I downgraded the device software, not the desktop manager software.  What I did was either click on the "Update My Device" button in Desktop Manager or close out of Desktop Manager and do the device update online.
    I believe both will get you to the same place and will eventually give you a screen where a button reads "View Other Versions".  Click on that button.  It will then show your current version and other versions which you can downgrade to.  Select the one you want and let it do its thing.  Make sure everything you currently have is backed up, because you will want to do a restore.

  • HT4489 address book not loading to icloud?  it works fine in .mac  but not .me com?

    address book not loading in icloud. loads fine in .mac account but .me will not load?

    [email protected] and [email protected] are the same accounts.
    Are you saying that you are trying to sync your contacts to iCloud?  Are the two accounts you  mention ".mac" and ".me" actually different in that they are [email protected]  vs.  [email protected]?  If so, your device can only use one account at once - and you should stick to only one account.

  • HT3952 Why can't Address Book allow me to add "spouse" to the print job?

    I can add "spouse" to a card, so why can't Address Book allow me to print the name on the card plus the spouse name? So if I try to print "Ravi" I have the option in the print dialogue to add "Mei"? Seems simple, even Word can do it.

    Hi,
    It doesn't look like the "Country" field on the cards need to match.  I changed one of the spouses to a different country and the label (as shown in the print dialogue panel as you suggested) still shows "John Smith and Jane Doe."  Most of my country fields are blank.
    It does matter that the Country Code be the same for both.  After selecting the card and clicking on edit, the Country Code can be checked or changed by clicking on the address label (home, work, etc.) and moving the mouse down to "Change Address Format..."  You'll see a long list of countries.  If the cards for Jane and John don't have the same country code, the label won't show both names.
    The lines of code like:
         <key>us</key>
         <true/>
    in the ABRelatedNamesConfig.plist file determine which countries the related names functionality will work in.  Using the plist shown in an earlier post, they need to live in ca (Canada), uk (United Kingdom), us (United States), or fr (France) and both need be be in the same one.  Adding other country codes to the plist file should enable that country to work as well (I haven't tried it).
    The related names functionality was removed with the release of Snow Leopard (10.6) so I've editied the plist file in 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8.  All have worked.
    The only other thing I noticed is that the following two lines shown in the earlier post are really one line in the plist file.
    As shown in the earlier post, the code:
         
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    is really all on one line.  Here is a screen shot of my plist file as viewed in TextWrangler:
    The good news is we have 358 days to figure this out before Christmas.

  • Anyone having the letter n pop up in Address Book Notes?  Anyone able to tell me how to keep this from happening?

    Anyone having the letter n pop up in Address Book Notes?  Anyone able to tell me how to keep this from happening?

    You can upgrade to Mavericks free, just run the App Store program and search for Mavericks. But before you do upgrade I recommend the following:
    1) make sure you have a recent backup. TimeMachine is fine.
    2) Mavericks is somewhat more memory hungry than 10.7 was. You will need 4 GB of RAM and I strongly recommend 8 GB.
    Go back to the Apple menu and select About this Mac - look under the OS info you just looked at. You'll see how much RAM your computer has now. Then click on the More Info button. There you will see your computer info listed as in: iMac, 21.5" mid 2010, for example. Return back with that information and we can tell you how far the computer can be upgraded.
    If you decide to procede and you have enough RAM upgrading to Mavericks is quite simple. Click on the download button and let it do its job.

  • Can't sync Address Book note field to iPhone contacts

    Hi:
    I make heavy use of the "note:" field in my MacBook Address Book app. I store all kinds of detailed info about people, organizations, etc. in that field. I would like to be able to access that information on my iPhone 3G, but the phone's Contacts app has no corresponding "note" field.
    Could this be a result of the way I imported data into my MacBook when I first got it?
    In searching the fora, I found several people who said their iPhone contacts sync nicely with the Address Book note, and others who say it doesn't sync at all. Can anyone please shed some light on this for me?
    Thanks!

    Not quite sure what you mean by "editing" but I've tried every method of selecting, deleting, cursor placement, backspacing, and typing I can think of -- again, with and without the Edit button clicked. I did seem to accumulate a huge number of duplicates along the way, and there were more than a thousand cards in my Address Book; maybe I went over the limit?

  • Is there a way to add an image to Address Book notes?

    I've tried copying an image from the clipboard and then pasting it into Address Book notes.  I've also tried moving the image in different formats, TIFF, JPG, PNG, directly to the notes section of Address Book, but still with no success.  Is there some other way to make this happen?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    This isn't possible in Address Book on 10.7.
    You can send a message to Apple here :
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    And, maybe, they will add that feature in a next update; it could be an interesting improvement by the way.

  • How to import attachment into Address Book "Notes" field

    Is it possible to import an attachment into the Address Book "Notes" field? Jpg, PDF, pages doc, whatever...? Don't really care if the file is "visible" (IE if photo, can actually SEE photo)... a clickable icon would be fine.
    Thanks

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    I'm not aware of any direct connector provided by RIM for this purpose. They do supply an ASCII/CSV import capability...see this KB:
    KB11194 How to import contacts from an CSV file to the BlackBerry device
    You'd have to find out from AOL how to get your contacts exported to an ASCII or CSV file.
    Good luck and let us know!
