Writing contact with computer

How can you access the contents of contact with a mac? I dont want to have to enter all of them with the key board...

Yes, but not directly.
Entourage contacts are synced with the Apple Address Book, which is synced with the iPhone. You must enable sync services via Entourage preferences and you are adding another layer with Microsoft involved.
If you want to use Entourage and you enable sync services via Entourage preferences, your contact information will be available in Entourage's address book, and in Apple's Address Book. You can maintain a backup of this data with both applications and include your address book backup with your backup of other important data available on your Mac stored on an external drive or other media used for backup purposes.

  • HT1296 Unable to Sync Contacts with Computer

    I am having problems with my attempts to upload the Contacts in my iPhone, to my PC/laptop.  I'm following a guide which contains screen grabs, but my screen doesn't look like what is shown and so I cannot proceed as I wish to.
    I have no option to select 'Sync Contacts With' as the screen I am taken to under the Options Menu has a heading that says Sync Contacts with a box underneath that says:
    Your contacts are being synced with your iPhone over the air from Cloud
    Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone
    There are no boxes to check, whatsoever.
    Can anyone help with this, please?
    Thanks 

    You can only sync contacts with one source. You are currently synching with iCloud, so if you want to sync with your computer you will have to turn off iCloud sync.

  • IPad sync - contacts with Computer

    All my contacts are up to date on my Mac.  I sync my iPhones through iTunes to the Computer, not iCloud, because I also use Outlook.  It all works great.  But when I connect my iPad I get a message asking if I want to resolve conflicts.  The iPad addresses are outdated.  Problem is it appears the iPad list will override the Computer data.  I want it to go the other way.  How do I fix this?

    Had the same problem with 4 devices (two computers, an iPhone and an iPod). The solution is simple: open the Address Book application in your mac, ask it to locate duplicate entries (under one of the top menu items, "edit" I think), and then ask it to consolidate them: it took me all of three seconds after I figured it out: worked like a charm! PS: if you have more than one mac with unconected Address Books, repeating the operation in the second one may be a good idea.

  • Want to type in my phone contacts with my computer (NOT tiny buttons on phone)

    OK so I do not use Outlook or Yahoo or any of the like type services and even if I did, it would just be email addresses and not phone numbers.  I need to input all my phone contacts (about 200) into my 8330.  I cannot fathom how long it is going to take using those tiny buttons on the phone itself (seeing as how my big fingers hit like 2 or 3 buttons every time I try to hit a letter while texting and I have to constantly delete and it takes forever).  I dont care about adding email contacts into the phone.  I want some way to type in phone numbers on the computer then sync that info into the phone's contact list.  I have tried to find such a function on the desktop software, but I don't think it has anything like that.  Should I just bite the bullet and start typing in contacts with the tiny buttons on the phone?  WOW, what a pain, you'd think RIM woulda made this easier.
    -Jeremy
    P.S.  If I did go through the trouble of trying to set up some kind of Yahoo or Outlook (which aparently I'd have to pay extra for, sheesh!) account, woudl that just do email contacts or phone numbers too?  (trying to figure out why on earth I'd type my friends' phone numbers into my email list?).  Secondly, if I did that, would that foold my inbox with text notifications?...  or my phone with email notifications?  I don't want email notifications on my phone, just phone calls, texts, pix, etc.

    Welcome to the forums
    You have a few options available to you to make this easier. Depending on your desktop manager version and your computer's OS, you can import/sync contacts with the applications in this kb article: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14730
    Google sync can also do the same, but it is not included in the list. You need a google account and have to download the google sync app.
    Hope that helps.

  • Can't get my epson sx535wd to work. my epson will get contact with my router (sitcom wl306) and my mac is on wifi, but they can't connect. epson can't find the computer and my report says: there are conflicting channels on my router or entry point. help

    OK, let's try these................ 
    1 - Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu.  When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer.  Re-connect your printer. 
    2 - Download & install the Gimp drivers. Make sure the one you install is compatible w/your OS-Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1.   Repair permissions, restart your computer & re-connect your printer when done.
    The Epson model I have, in order to get it to print wirelessly, I had to install a Gimp driver.
    3 - Check out the following KB Articles:
    Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Connecting to a network printer
    Epson Printer Drivers v2.10 OS X
    Adding a printer to your printer list in Mac OS X
    Mac OS X 10.4 Help: The printer I'm adding says "Driver not installed"
    ======================
    If still unsuccessful after trying all of the above, the problem could be your iBook or human error.  You can either call Epson & ask to speak with a Mac savy supervisor or return the printer & find another that is compatible w/your current OS.

  • Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone?  no MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone.

    Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone?  No MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone.  I have checked all the settings and all seems correct.  It simply won't pull in all of the contacts.  Last time, it added some new ones, but deleted others.

    I found the route of the problem! All the songs under 'On This Phone' are completely grayed out! The only question is now how do I ungray them???

  • Can I retrieve contacts that I deleted from an email account on my IPhone that I no longer have access to? I have synced the contacts with my computer and have not synced since I deleted the mail account on my Iphone. Can I still retrieve the contacts?

    can I retrieve contacts that I deleted from an email account on my IPhone that I no longer have access to? I have synced the contacts with my computer and have not synced since I deleted the mail account on my Iphone. Can I still retrieve the contacts on my home computer?

    This might be a problem as it is a company mail account that I no longer work for.
    Could I...
    Plug iphone into pc and click Restore in iTunes?
    Then using ICloud, retrieve all the data lost in the restore?

  • Sync replaced my contacts on my BB with computer contacts

    Hi There, any help would be SO appreciated.
    I used Desktop Manager with my Tour 9630 (Verizon) yesterday for the first time, and it prompted me to sync my contacts with the contacts on my Mac. Bad decision. I chose the merge contacts option, and synced, but now all my contacts on my BB are gone, replaced with the much less substantial contact list that was on my computer. I don't have them backed up, as this is what I was going onto the deskttop manager to do in the first place.
    Is there anyway to get my BB contacts back....please say there are still somehow hidden on my SIM card or something...also what the heck happened? Why would the contacts on my phone dissapear when they supposed to merge?
    Please let me know if any other info would help...THANKS!

    Were the contacts imported from your SIM in the first place? If so  then you can copy them from the SIM card to the address Book.
    Without a backup then that change is permanent I'm afraid

  • Tried to do upgrade and lost everything but contacts. Phone wont sync with computer. Do I need to register it as a new iphone?

    Tried to do upgrade and lost everything but contacts. Phone wont sync with computer. Do I need to register it as a new iphone?

    You should copy everything from your old computer to your new one, then sync.
    The iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

  • Syncing iPhone contacts with a specific Group on iCloud/computer

    I am using iOS 7 and run Mavericks. I want to sync (be it either through iCloud or through the desktop) the contents of my iPhone contacts with a specific group of contacts on either iCloud or a group in Contacts. How do I do that?

    Hello Jim,
    It took forever. With MobileMe, it was immediate.
    Up in the cloud the clocks seem to tick differently and time is relative, so we will just have to learn to be patient ...
    To be serious, the first iCloud experiences seem to be different on the different continents, depending on the time zone you are in. In Europe there does not seem to be so much traffic up in the Cloud during day time  as in the states,

  • How do I not share my contacts with family memebers?

    I need HELP! I recently update all three of our phones with ios5 and icloud. I was using mobile me before and had and apple id already. All three devices were under the same apple id and I could view them on the same mobile me account, but each phone was seperate in the fact that we each had our own contacts. Now with the new ios5 and icloud we all have the same contacts which is everyone's combined on each phone. So I logged in to icloud and created seperate folders and put each person contacts from the main list into each person's folder I created thinking I could then delete the all contacts folder but if you do that it deletes the contact all together from all lists. I need help! What can I do to get each person's contacts back to their own phones and not have all contacts on each phone that are not needed? Please break it down step by step if you know how I can fix this whether it is turning off icloud on two devices and erasing what they have already duimped on there and creating a new apple id for each of their phones but then how can I get their contacts back on thier phone? so LOST!

    simplest answer i can think of off the top of my head would be to turn off the contacts portion of your icloud(on the device) and use your computer  to create the three contacts folders and likewise synchronize them with their respective devices
    .to do so you will need to create "groups" in the program you use to store your contacts. i.e. google mail account. windows addressbook. outlook 2007 or 2010. or mac addressbook.
    if you dont store them on an external program i suggest you put this on hold and do so immediately.......
    ok so now that your contacts are secure on another program and your contacts are separated into groups(i like to have a shared group including the family contacts that i choose to put on each phone).
    you will then need to connect your device to your computer via usb.
    once your device is recognized by itunes and appears in the source list(the column on the left hand side)under devices. simply click on it.  this will bring you to your synchronization interface.
    at the top of this page you will see a list of tabs i.e. summary, info, apps etc.
    1)go to the info tab.
    2)place a checkmark in the "sync contacts with or sync addressbook contacts " checkbox.
    3) choose your program from the dropdown menu
    4)change the bullet point (the dot in the circle) from" all contacts" to "selected groups"
    5) select the groups you want on the device which is currently connected.
    6)click the apply button in the bottom righthand corner of the itunes window
    sorry i dont have a better answer for you but the service is quite new so i havent had much time to troubleshoot its failures. hope this helps

  • How can I sync my Iphone contacts with laptop running Windows 7

    I have a laptop running Windows 7 and would like to sync my Iphoneand ipad contacts with Windows Live, which is not possible. Microsoft have told me to download a WOA app for each device and subscribe to Office 365. Then use an exchange program within Outlook. Is there another simpler and cheaper method. The Office 365 sub is $99pa. Can I use icloud?

    Hello there, Darrelk.
    The following Knowledge Base article has information for syncing from your iOS devices:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    Specifically:
    Contacts
    To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Contacts" in OS X v10.8, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" in OS X v10.7 and earlier.
    You can sync your contacts with:
    Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
    Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
    Windows Contacts (Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
    Address Book (Mac OS X v10.7 and earlier)
    Contacts (Mac OS X v10.8)
    Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
    Notes:
    When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
    You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
    Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.
