Will anniversaries sync to calendar from address book like birthdays? Or do you have to use a third party plug-in?

Will anniversary dates from contacts automatically appear in the calendar the same way birthdays appear?  Or do you have to use a third party plug-in like Dates 2 ical?

or I found this one for free http://www.zencat.de/bsx/index.html
it worked quite neatly for me for anniversaries and friend's kids birthdays (didn't want to have all of them as separate contacts)

  • Syncing Smart Groups from Address Book

    Spent a lot of time creating a smart group in address book, only to find that iphone sync doesn't recognize "Smart Groups", only regular groups. Maybe the engineers can write some script to fix this little bugaboo to have the sync software recognize smart groups from Address Book and place them in the box so that the user can select the smart group and not have to sync the whole address book. Thanks.

    Yes. Please. It would be great if the syncing of smart groups were to be added. Right now with the large amount of address' I manage for business, it's important that I see the same groups on my iPhone.
    Please add.

  • Why can't I sync my contacts from Address Book to iPhone?

    I restored my iPhone 4 and now I want to sync all my contacts to my iPhone.
    My contacts are in Address Book and iCloud, however i cannot sync my contacts. I ticked Sync Contacts on my iTunes.
    Is there any problem?

    Syncing contacts in iTunes will not get them to sync with iCloud.  To sync with iCloud on a mac you must be running OS X Lion (10.7.2 or later) and then enable iCloud syncing in the iCloud control panel in System Settings (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html).  Also, once you enable iCloud syncing for contacts you should disable iTunes syncing for contacts (by unchecking Sync Contacts on the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings).  Trying to sync with both iCloud and iTunes will result in duplicate contacts.

  • How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2

    How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2

    Do you have any addresses in the Lion version?
    If not, copy the AddressBook folder from your username/Library/Application Support/ folder on the old mac (or backup).
    Copy it to the same location on your new Mac, replacing the one that is there. Start Address Book in Mountain Lion and it should convert the files to the correct format.
    If you do have addresses, it is a little more complicated.
    First, create a Contacts Archive (from File>Export menu). This will be your backup.
    Next, export the current contacts as vCards.
    Then, follow the steps above.
    Then, import all the cards you exported. If you select all and double-click, it will ask if you want to add them. You'll then have to add them to whatever groups you had set up.

  • Cannot print from Address Book! Print freezes and will not proceed.

    I want to print an address list for Christmas cards. When I select the Group, select all and select Print I get the option box. I then select my printer and use the down arrow to open the dialog box that shows I am printing from Address Book and gives the different forms I can use (ie list, label, envelope) as well as the fields to include in the list. Once I have everything selected I click the Print radio button. All of the information under the Address Book options line disappears. Print remains highlighted and my printer Que never opens or appears. If I manually open the printer there is no print job showing. At this point the Address Book application is frozen. I cannot select cancel on the print dialog box (I can click it, but it does not highlight and it does not close the dialog box! In order to get out of this situation I have had to close Address Book. The quit option on the menu does work and Force Quit is unnecessary.
    I actually spoke with AppleCare on this issue on Friday 05 Dec 2008. The tech I spoke with knew of no other such situations, but when I started checking on this discussion page I see a posting from REECO from clear back on 24 Sept 2008. His posting can be found at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8161605&tstart=0
    The technician had me do several things. One was to pull my Caches folder out of my system Library folder. He also had me remove some Address Book preference items. The end result of these actions was a Mac Pro that would not boot! (The failure followed an Address Book crash with a "KERPROTECTIONFAILURE" and the message that some QualityMedia plugin might have created the problem!)(I could find no such plug in either on my system or via Google search!) The tech had asked me to boot to safe mode by booting while holding down the shift key untill the spinning gear appeared. The machine never progressed to a successful boot! I ended up having to use a 2nd hard drive and physically place it in internal slot 1 on my Mac Pro proceeding to reinstall Tiger! The bad news is that this did NOT solve my printing problem.
    If I am attempting to print from a new install with just the Apple address card and the Owner's card in Address book the print proceeds fine. Once I import my data I am back to the same print failure.
    Some diagnostic steps I have tried. I have tried USB local printers and bonjour printers. I have used Epson and Canon printers. I have tried to print to a PDF. I have tried printing from another computer (12 inch PowerBook) with identical results!
    At this point I am going to call AppleCare Monday morning and see if anyone there has any more suggestions. Any suggestions this forum has will be received gratefully!

    I was having the same crash or "just not print" problem as seen in other posts. I was able to fix it however, by making changes in some of the address cards I was going to print. By editing the "parent", "child", "spouse" fields which will get added to the name line of the label, I was able to get labels to print (or pdf preview) without difficulty.
    I did not try and determine exactly what the problem was, but basically did a data cleanup. Since I didn't know that those fields would print, I had previously included information beyond just a name in the fields, like birthdates and such, eg. "Jimmy - 12/1/05". After either removing the fields entirely where I didn't really need them, or just cleaning them down to names only, they printed just fine. I'd considered trying to disable the feature entirely but the data cleanup was not hard for a dozen or so names.

  • MAIL WILL REPLY, BUT WON'T SEND FRESH EMAILS FROM ADDRESS BOOK

    HI, Recently set up my pop3 account on mail. And hit a problem. Mail will receive emails, will send "REPLYS" but will not send fresh emails from address book or even if i type them in manually.
    This is so stupid.
    Help guys, Thanks
    Liam

    You should set it to Port 465, and select SSL, assuming this is the smtp.gmail.com server. Your ISP is probably blocking use of such a SMTP on Port 25, and that is very common policy.

  • Syncing two iPhones with address book

    Anyone know if you can have two iphones with seperate address books but still use the same address book to sync with?

    You can do this by utilizing an Address Book Group or Groups - one iPhone synced with a chosen Group or Groups, and the other iPhone synced with a different Group or Groups.
    For a contact to be available in a Group, the contact must be available in the primary Address Book "All" Group, so all contacts available on each iPhone will be available in the primary Address Book "All" Group.
    If you don't want all contacts available with each iPhone to be available in the primary Address Book "All" Group, you need to create another computer login account for the other iPhone. This will create a Home folder directory for the new user account. The Address Book under this user account can be populated with the contact information available on the associated iPhone only - and the same for calendars and calendar events, and bookmarks.
    iTunes content only can be synced with iTunes under the existing computer login account, and contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks can be synced with the additional computer login account.
    You can enable Fast User Switching to make the process of switching between multiple computer login accounts a fast and easy process.

  • Is the Gmail sync option in Mac Address Book bidirectional ?

    Is the Gmail sync option in Mac Address Book bidirectional ?
    basically, If I put information directly online on Gmail Address Book will the information go on my computer's Address Book ?
    can anyone explain with his/her experience ?

    It is bidirectional, but I'm not sure how often the sync is triggered, or what triggers it. I saw some stuff on the web that talks about setting it up with Google Sync, but I have not really tried it.
    *_Question on: Is it Bidirectional ?_*
    How can you confirm it is bidirectional ? I have not seen a site that confirms that is it bidirectional.
    *_Question on: How often the sync is triggered ?_*
    ONLY when Google Sync is activated from Address Book, you will see a file created in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.google.GoogleContactSyncAgent.plist which contains the sync schedule, which by default is 3600seconds (an hour).
    The user can change the sync schedule by editing that file using TextEdit.
    *_Duplicates using Google sync with Address Book_* ?
    I've noticed that my 2000 contacts where duplicated at least 3 times which then I had 5800 contacts about.
    Is there any way to stop that ?

  • Adding my card from Address book

    Does anyone know how to add My Card from Address book to my signature everytime you send an email from mail? I'm migrating from Windows and outlook.

    When creating a signature you can drag n drop your vcard onto the window.
    Mail--> preferences--> signatures click the + sign create your signature and drag n drop your vcard.
    Then from the drop down menu at the bottom of the signature windon choose your default signature.
    Then it will add that file every time you add your signature to your message.

  • How can I sync my calendar from my MacAir to my iPod touch without using the cloud?

    I will be out of wi fi range most of next year and want to know how to sync my calendar from my computer to my ipod touch and vice versa manually.

    To do this, plug your iPod Touch into iTunes on your MacAir. From there, find the tab on the left of iTunes where your iPod is located. Once you are on that, go to "Info" on the top row. From there you should be able to choose to sync calendars and contacts.
    Hope this helped.

  • How to clear image in sender label to print envelopes from Address Book

    Hello!
    I had been printing envelopes for greeting cards using Address Book. I had always ignored the "Image" option under "Label" for the +sender's information+. Today I decided to explore this option and clicked on "Set". Then I chose a picture from my "Pictures" folder. It looks nice and I was able to change the picture several times, but now _I do not want any "image" in the sender's label_.
    *How do reset the "Image" to none?*
    Thank you in advance for your assistance!
    Osk Asks

    Hello captfred! Thank you for your reply. I tried to do what you suggested but it seems that it only works for cards in my contacts or for my own card. My problem is within the settings under label when I am printing from Address Book.
    This is how I have been doing it:
    1) Select a contact or a group of contacts
    2) Click on File on the top of the screen and then select Print
    3) A window pops up and there I can choose whether I want to print an envelope, a list, or mailing labels
    4) In that same window is where I clicked on "Image" and "Set"
    5) Finally I click on "Print" on the bottom right corner and I get neat envelopes with my address (sender) and the recipients (my contacts)
    I hope this helps you to help me!
    Thanks in advance!
