Hi Severin.
This may not be your case, but my iPhone did that recently after an update.
It turned out that it was listing “from my Mac” and “from iCloud”.

Address book anomaly

On our phone, iPads and desktops I have 5 Contacts (Address) Books all shared 
and working fine.   Recently, by some unknown circumstance all the cards on the 
book in my MacAir are duplicated identically.  Card/Look for Duplicates insists 
that there are no duplicates.   I would like to fully clear out the entries and

Re: Address Book/Contacts mayhem

2017-10-19 Thread Peter Crisp

Hi Ronni, thanks for this tip, I had 71 duplicates in the first pass before I 
did the Merge using the MBP. Following this I had a quick scan of the Contacts 
on my iPhone and noticed a duplicate there. I went back to the MBP and searched 
for that name and only there once. The name happens to be my boss (not the wife 
one but the other one at my work!!). I waited a while to see if it would 
resolve and still the duplication remains there after 10 minutes on the iPhone. 
My work uses Exchange server and the credentials in the work contact contains 
all the work related credentials for my boss, pager number, program details 
etc. On my iPhone I have in Settings>Contacts>Default Account set as iCloud and 
has been like that for ages though at some time in the past I think it was set 
as “XXX” - my work Contacts account. Is this just a time delay before the merge 
will truly merge across all linked devices or will this duplication remain 
forever - unless I do something else?

I re-ran the Look for duplicates process a second time and 5 were found. A 
third time and none found.

Regards

Pete.

Re: Address Book/Contacts mayhem

2017-10-19 Thread Ronni Brown

Hi Severin,

Using you Mac is the most efficient approach and there’s a handy tool built-in 
with macOS. 
NB: Don’t forget to make sure you’ve got a copy of your contacts backed up 
somewhere before making changes.

1.  Start by launching the Contacts application. 
2. Make sure All Contacts is selected in the top left corner of the window 
(this will include local and cloud stored contact cards).

3. In the menu bar click on Card → Look for Duplicates…

4. Next, a pop up window will let you know how many duplicates will be merged 
if there is different information on cards that share the same name and also if 
some duplicates will just be removed (this is automatic and in this example all 
the duplicates are being cleaned up by merging).

5. Click Merge and you’re done!

Cheers,
Ronni

Address Book/Contacts mayhem

2017-10-19 Thread Severin Crisp

I have 3 iOS devices and  2 OSX (High Sierra) desktops and all share the 
address book.   Following some recent family messaging mixups due to sharing 
information on single cards rather than having separate cards  (this is 
historical) I set about a clean up doing my operations on one or other of the 
two OSX machines.  This has proceeded fine apart from the fact that on my 
MacAir I now have four copies of each card.   I have not a clue why!  The 
“master” information held in the cloud  is fine.   I suspect the way is to 
reinstall OSX, maybe from the Recovery sector.  
All advice welcome

Re: Continual Console Log Entries re Address Book

2015-10-01 Thread Alan Smith

Any suggestions for clearing this ongoing problem?

More information found:   The associated plist has a setting for a 3600 second 
call.  As the call is happening every 30 seconds, something is wrong.  There is 
probably a Scheduler somewhere that has stored corrupt data for the call time.  
A hidden file?  The found plist filename is: System/Library/Launch Agents/ 
com.apple.AddressBook.SourceSync.plist.

More observations, but may not be relevant:  The Console log entries continued 
regularly after trashing all ~/Library/Caches, and also continued when computer 
was disconnected from the network.

Most Apple Community requests for help re "AddressBookSourceSync" refer to 
system memory avalanche problems while connected to iCloud.  I am normally  
“permanently” signed out of iCloud, but even when signed in I did not notice 
any significant CPU usage.

Cheers

Continual Console Log Entries re Address Book

2015-09-27 Thread Alan Smith

The iMac Console Diagnostic and Usage Messages log is recording the same pair 
of entries every 30 seconds.  I would expect that an entry at hourly or longer 
intervals would be normal.  How can I fix this?

The first message (preceded by date and time) is:-
   AddressBookSourceSync: com.apple.message.domain: 
com.apple.AddressBook.accounts.providers
and the second is:-
   AddressBookSourceSync: com.apple.message.domain: 
com.apple.AddressBook.accounts.summary

Both entries have several lines of detail exposed with the flippy triangle.   
The “provider” details include:-
   com.apple.message.signature: com.apple.google.iaplugin

Alan

Address Book gone

2014-04-13 Thread Bill Parker

Looks like the upgrade to Mavericks has destroyed my Address Book ( where 100’s 
of emails were stored).  Looks like it got replaced with a collection from my 
iPhone, most of which have no emails.  Is the original file recoverable?

Hi Bill,

Sounds like you might not have setup iCloud correctly on your Mac and iPhone.
Is Calendar syncing correctly on your Mac  iPhone?

In Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your Contacts, Calendars, and other info are 
updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. 
Only Contacts in iCloud will sync.  Contacts which are local to your computer 
do NOT sync.

* Only Calendars and Contacts in iCloud groups will sync.

I posted this information to WAMUG just before Mavericks was released:
/Quote:
Just a very quick message to people who might rush in an upgrade without first 
doing the preparations and backups which include a bootable backup  checking 
that all your applications are compatible with Mavericks.

Note: If you use an iTunes sync to transfer contacts, calendars, or notes to an 
iOS device or if you rely on older third-party software for syncing data like 
contacts or calendars,...
Mavericks no longer includes Sync Services.
“Most users won’t even notice it’s gone, but it will affect people who still 
use older versions of apps that rely on this mechanism to sync data with iOS 
devices”

“The loss of Sync Services also means that you can no longer use iTunes (via 
Wi-Fi or USB) to sync calendars, contacts, and notes between your Mac and iOS 
devices. You must instead use a server-based system of some sort on both your 
Mac and iOS devices, which could be (among other options) iCloud, Google, an 
Exchange server”

“You can still sync media, apps, and documents with iOS devices via iTunes, by 
the way—this change affects only calendars, contacts, and notes.”

For more information, see OS X Mavericks: Keep content current on all your 
devices with iCloud http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14354


Bill, If you wish to have a copy of my two Tutorials: Setup iCloud on a Mac 
and iOS Devices.pdf and Calendar  Contacts Not Syncing to iCloud.pdfemail 
me offlist and I will post to you. If you find my Tutorials helpful a donation 
is very much appreciated.

Bill, If you are sure you do have iCloud setup correctly on your Mac  
iDevices, post back.

Cheers,
Ronni

Fwd: Address Book in Mountain Lion Mail ?

Just figured out how to get the Contacts list shortcut into mail.
Control Click the Toolbar.
Select Customise.
Command Click ADDRESS icon and drag into Tool Bar.

Sorry Ronda - I must have been a bit vague.
Had day surgery today and I am a little sore.

When in Mail in SL I was able to select contacts by clicking a button.
This opened the Contacts list.
Then simply double click each address I wished to send to.
As I did so each was placed into the TO box.

I cannot see this facility in ML.
So I do not have a prompt to help me place addresses in the TO box.

Re: Address Book in Mountain Lion Mail ?

2013-01-03 Thread Ronni Brown

Ah ok Stephen,

I think what you are meaning to find is Address Panel.

Mail relies on the system-wide Contacts app to store frequently used email
addresses. If you haven’t already filled in Contacts with your most frequently
used email addresses, consider doing so—it will make your life a lot easier.

In Mail, you can address your email 'manually', using the Address Panel (which
provides a little portal to Contacts), or using 'Automatic Address Completion'.

A) Automatic Address Completion:

If you type the first few letters of a person’s first or last name or email
address, or a group’s name, in the desired field (To, Cc, or Bcc), Mail
automatically displays all matching entries from Contacts, your Previous
Recipients list, any Exchange server to which you’re connected, and any defined
LDAP servers. Then you can use the Up and Down arrow keys to select the one you
want, press Return, and you’re done.

Automatic address completion is on by default, and when it works
well, it is certainly an easy way to address messages; however before you
decide to use it unthinkingly Address Panel

B) Address Panel:
Another way to address an email message is to find the desired address(es) in
the Address Panel. Here’s how:

1. Working in an outgoing message, if the Address panel isn’t already open,
open it by choosing Window Address Panel.

2. If you can’t easily find the email address or group you want, search by name
or address using the handy Search field at the upper right.

3. Once you locate the address or group, select it (or Command-click to select
multiple addresses).

4. To address your message, either click the To, Cc, or Bcc button or drag the
selected items to an address field in the message window.

Cheers,
Ronni

Direct dial/Address book

Re: Direct dial/Address book

2011-10-19 Thread Ronda Brown

Hi Stuart,

Are you meaning on your iPhone or computer?
On your iPhone you have always been able to tap the phone number of a contact 
in Contacts (Address Book) and phone?
On the iPhone 4S, you can also ask Siri  to phone anyone in your Contacts.

I don’t know how I ever did without Siri, she is a wonderful Personal Assistant.

Don't forget that if you have a copy of Bento, all you need to do is  
access the Address Book library which is part of the native setup of  
Bento. This is an exact duplicate of your Address Book file, and  
Bento can export it to .csv with ease.

you cannot specify which fields to export when you create a vCard - in Export 
Address Book, you can). 

You are able to select which contacts to export, which fields from those 
contacts and how to order them. For later reuse, you can save all of that as a 
template. In Address Book, you can assign self-defined labels to various 
fields. Export Address Book can recognize and export fields with self-defined 
labels. With the built-in Automator action, you can automate exports.

 Thanks Justin, Ronni,
 
 I used this one: http://gwenhiver.net/address-book-exporter.html
 With a cut down set of fields (just the ones needed) it was perfect.
 
 Ronni, I tried the AddressBook2CSV Exporter, but the CSV was unusable.
 The multi line fields threw it right off.

Hi Glenn  Justin,

Justin, I'm not sure if you meant this application. I've used it a few times, 
works well. Exports to .csv, then I click on the .csv file, Numbers opens and 
there is my contacts all in a Spreadsheet. Works in Snow Leopard also.

Restoring lost Address Book Contacts data from Time Machine

2010-03-15 Thread Tim Law



Hello,

I am running 10.5.8 on an iMac G5

All my AddressBook contacts have gone.

I realised things were going wrong when I was syncing my iPhone and  
found no data in Address Book on my iMac. Now it's wiped all the  
Contacts from the iPhone too. They were there this morning on the  
iPhone. I made a change one contact on the iPhone so I know that was  
fine at that time.


The iMac and the iPhone sync with MobileMe - gone from there too. :-(

I have Time Machine.  :-)

I have gone to /Users/yourusername/Library/Application  
Support/Address Book  and restored the Address Book folder from mid  
yesterday afternoon when I know Address Book was working as I was  
sending emails from Mail and Address Book was putting in names.


Still no data showing up :-(

Any tips?


Fortunately I DO have Entourage that I was using until a month or so  
ago, so can resurrect my data from there if all else fails, but it's  
out of date so is my least preferred option.  Things are getting  
desperate when I rely on Entourage!!


Thanks
Tim

Thanks Alex,

That's very clever.

Unfortunately the only data that is showing is from end December 2009.  
My Entourage data is more recent, so I'll use that, but why would the  
Address Book data not be current?  That seems odd to me.

Address Book snowed

2009-09-09 Thread Paul Weaver


Installed Snow Leopard OK but addresses in Address Book have gone. I have a 
backup of addresses but when I tried to import there was still no data showing. 
 I tried importing to a new account on the same machine and there were no 
problems. On the account where Address Book is having problems the 
application is hanging and has to be force quitted.  So the question is please, 
how do I restore the Address Book app on that account, bearing in mind that 
it's working ok on another account on the same machine?

I have also repaired permissions with no joy.

Hi Paul,

You say you have a backup of your previous AddressBook folder.

1.Locate in Home  Library  Application Support  AddressBook folder  
in your previous home folder.
2.Copy that folder to the same location in your new home folder,  
replacing the AddressBook folder there.

3.Open Address Book.

See if your Address Book works then and has all your contacts.

Re: Address Book snowed

2009-09-09 Thread Alexander Hartner


Depending on how many contacts you have in the backup it may take some
time. What I suggest is you close Address Book, reboot the Mac and then
restore again. Don't open Address Book before restoring, just click on the
backup file. Then go for a cup of coffee or something. When you get back
your contacts should be there. If nothing happens after like 10-15 mins
then try more drastic measures.

Was this Other account Your Account? Otherwise it would be  
rejected possibly as you wouldn't have correct permissions.
What was the error you received when you tried to replace the  
Application Support/AddressBook folder?


My original instructions were for Your Address Book backup folder to  
be copied to the same location in your new home folder, replacing the  
AddressBook folder there.

---
Another suggestion you could try is:

1. Select all your contacts (from the Address Book that is functioning  
correctly) and drag them to the desktop.

   This will make one big vCard with all your contacts on the desktop.

2. Move it to your Account and drop it on the address book there.

If you can’t import because of permissions errors.
In the Finder, select the vCard file you’re trying to import and  
choose File  Get Info.
In the Sharing  Permissions section, choose Read  Write from the  
Privilege pop-up menu


 I see there is a file named Configuration.plist.  Should I try  
deleting that?


No.

Re: Address Book snowed (The fix)

2009-09-09 Thread Paul Weaver


Thank you to all for the suggestions received about this problem.  Here is how 
I fixed it.

I created a test account and had a look at what existed before Address Book had 
been opened.  I determined that the entire folder called AddressBook at 
Library/Application Support is not created until the first time Address Book is 
opened.  I dragged in a good AddressBook folder copied from another account and 
the Address Book application immediately adopted it when booted.

I then went into the problematic account and removed the dodgy AddressBook 
folder to Trash and restarted the computer.  Repeating the previously tested 
sequence, I placed the known-to-be-good AddressBook folder into 
Library/Application Suppport.  It has again been adopted okay. Phew. Another 
triumph for humans over machines.

The incident appears to have happened to me as a result of the Snow Leopard 
install.  I suggest people who are yet to install Snow Leopard first make a 
copy of the entire AddressBook folder and/or do an exported copy of the list of 
contacts.  This option is found under the pull-down menu ‘File.’  A exported 
list done a couple of days before my Snow Leopard install saved my bacon.

Kind wishes, Paul.

Hi Paul,

This is why we are always advising people on WAMUG list to BACKUP  
before doing a system upgrade.
Back on 25th August I sent a post to WAMUG with suggestions How to  
Prepare for installing Snow Leopard   Make sure that before doing  
the Upgrade you do a BACKUP!


We can't do more than suggest people Back Up, if people don't take  
our advise .?

Hi Paul

Glad you got the AddressBook working, which was the same way Ronni had
suggested as well.

I would also agree that anyone doing a Snow Leopard update would backup
their data. 
I would also go further and suggest people ensure that they've checked
compatibility of their apps they are using. And if aware of any third
party cool helpful apps that are installed. As it's normally these
weird and wonderful things that can often make the installation process go
astray.
If you're running a clean system and follow all the steps then I've found
everything goes well with no problems. The problems arise when there are
lots of other things installed.

But yes, if you follow the steps and do some of the research/tidy up before
hand the Snow Leopard install goes well.
There are some quite nice things inside it, especially start up and shut
down times...as well as a lot more.


Just my 2cents worth. :)

Kind Regards
Daniel

 Thank you to all for the suggestions received about this problem.  Here is how
 I fixed it.
 
 I created a test account and had a look at what existed before Address Book
 had been opened.  I determined that the entire folder called AddressBook at
 Library/Application Support is not created until the first time Address Book
 is opened.  I dragged in a good AddressBook folder copied from another account
 and the Address Book application immediately adopted it when booted.
 
 I then went into the problematic account and removed the dodgy AddressBook
 folder to Trash and restarted the computer.  Repeating the previously tested
 sequence, I placed the known-to-be-good AddressBook folder into
 Library/Application Suppport.  It has again been adopted okay. Phew. Another
 triumph for humans over machines.
 
 The incident appears to have happened to me as a result of the Snow Leopard
 install.  I suggest people who are yet to install Snow Leopard first make a
 copy of the entire AddressBook folder and/or do an exported copy of the list
 of contacts.  This option is found under the pull-down menu File.¹  A
 exported list done a couple of days before my Snow Leopard install saved my
 bacon.
 
 Kind wishes, Paul.

Hi folks,
how does one remove obsolete addresses from the Mail Address book  
please?
I've just done a archive instal, my address book should be the same  
as it was I thought but my Groups are missing?

Addresses can come from either of 2 places

Under the Window drop down menu find   Previous Recipients

and I think once you find one to delet , click once on it and hit the  
Delete key


In Address Book  Click once on the name adn  Delete

Apple Mail doesn't have an Address Book as such. When you click Addresses,
you're only getting a glimpse from the actual Address Book.
Anything you want to delete/change/modify, you have to do from the Actual
Address Book.

Open Address Book. (From Applications folder, not from within Mail)
From All, highlight the name you don't want and then hit the delete button.
Similarly to add Groups, it's all done from the real Address Book.
That's it.

You'd think with an archive install it would have reverted to the

Speaking of Address Book, is there any way to create a smart group of  
'recents' like in iTunes (recently played).


I have about 900 addresses and most of them are old but I don't want  
to delete them. Would love to create a group of people that I've

It's hard scrolling that many on an iPhone and voice recognition

Hello Brett,

You can create Smart Groups in Address Book Application.
To create a Smart Group:
1.Choose File  New Smart Group.

2.Enter a name for the group, and then specify search criteria.
Use the pop-up menus and entry field to set the criteria. Click the  
Add (+) button to specify additional criteria.


3.Select “Highlight group when updated” if you want Address Book to  
highlight a Smart Group’s name whenever it automatically adds or  
removes a contact.


4.Click OK.

Hi John,

Your Address Book  Preferences  General Window is NOT the same as  
mine, it is not showing the Show first name: Before last name
Your Window only shows partly following last name there should be  
above that Show first name: Before last name
I will attach both your Window  Mine in an email to you so you can  
see the difference.


I notice also that it is back before the change from .Mac to MobileMe.
There is a yellow exclamation mark with a message No me card is set.  
Locate it and choose Card  Make This My Card.
Address Book automatically creates an address card for you using  
information you supplied when you first set up your computer.

And you Choose Card  Make This My Card
To see your card, Choose Card  Go to My Card
Do you have a My Card?

I also think you are using a older version of Address Book.
Version 4.1.2 (700) is the current version for Leopard.

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi John,

Ok, if you are not having any other problems in Leopard, you could  
just reinstall the Address Book Application.
You will lose all the names you have in Address Book unless you want  
to Export All your cards out as vcards  then Import them in when  
you have the new Address Book installed.


You need your Leopard Installation Disc.

1. Delete Address Book Application from the Applications folder.
2. Insert your Leopard Installation disk into the computer.
3. The disk will appear on your desktop.
4. Double click on the Optional Installs folder.
5. Double click on the Optional Installs.mpkg.
6. Click on (Continue) in Introduction.
7. Click on (Continue) in Software License Agreement.
8. Click on (Agree) to agree to the terms of the software license  
agreement.

9. Click on the disclosure arrow ▶ next to Applications.
10.. Select (✓) Address Book
11. Click (Continue).
12.. After Address Book has been reinstalled, download and run the  
10.5.7 Combo Update http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_7_Combo_Update 


to bring your system back up to date.

Let's know how you get on please.

I think you are right. There is no Address Book in the Library

Did you look in your Home /Library/Preferences/ 
com.apple.AddressBook.plist  NOT your HD/Library?



Maybe reinstall part of Leopard again?


Are you having any other problems, or is this the only problem you

This is strange, I haven't heard of this happening.
Have you tried the Quit Address Book App  moving the  ~/Library/ 
Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist to the desktop.

Then restart your Mac, then Open Apple Book.app?

The only thing I can think of is a corrupted preference file.
Try above and see if that makes a difference.

Hi Susan,

I have managed to cull a lot of unwanted email addresses by using

However, sorting the address book doesn't do what you

whether I check first or last, there's no sorting happening either way.

Re: address book

2009-05-25 Thread Adrian Skehan


Hi Bill,

When I had this problem I finally found that from time to time I had  
switched entering the names from First name first to last with the  
result that when I sorted them they were all over the place and re  
sorting then Last name first just reversed the probble.  To fix this I  
had to reverse the individual names so they were all the same entry  
set up.

Re: address book

2009-05-25 Thread Ronda Brown


Hi John,

This is strange, I haven't heard of this happening.
Have you tried the Quit Address Book App  moving the  ~/Library/ 
Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist to the desktop.

Then restart your Mac, then Open Apple Book.app?

The only thing I can think of is a corrupted preference file.
Try above and see if that makes a difference.

Ronni

I think you are right. There is no Address Book in the Library

Re: address book

2009-05-25 Thread Ronda Brown


Hi John,

Ok, if you are not having any other problems in Leopard, you could  
just reinstall the Address Book Application.
You will lose all the names you have in Address Book unless you want  
to Export All your cards out as vcards  then Import them in when you  
have the new Address Book installed.


You need your Leopard Installation Disc.

1. Delete Address Book Application from the Applications folder.
2. Insert your Leopard Installation disk into the computer.
3. The disk will appear on your desktop.
4. Double click on the Optional Installs folder.
5. Double click on the Optional Installs.mpkg.
6. Click on (Continue) in Introduction.
7. Click on (Continue) in Software License Agreement.
8. Click on (Agree) to agree to the terms of the software license  
agreement.

9. Click on the disclosure arrow ▶ next to Applications.
10.. Select (✓) Address Book
11. Click (Continue).
12.. After Address Book has been reinstalled, download and run the  
10.5.7 Combo Update http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_7_Combo_Update 


to bring your system back up to date.

Let's know how you get on please.

Re: Address Book

2009-05-24 Thread Susan Hastings

Hi Bill, I noticed my address book looked scrambled too. I went to  
preferences and check 'last name before first name', and it is now in  
alphabetical order. So that's a possibility to try. The default was  
'first name before last'.


From Mail, I just added your address to my address book by right  
clicking on your email address in your email, and clicking 'add to  
address book'.


I'm using 10.5.7

What steps were you using?

cheers, Susan.

Synching Thunderbird address book to iPhone?

2009-05-14 Thread Rob Phillips


Perhaps someone can help.

My iPhone is synched to the Exchange server at work, and this is good 
for calendars.  However, I use Thunderbird as my email client (instead 
of M$oft).


Is there some way I can synch my Thunderbird address book to the 
iPhone?  Just once would do, but automatically would be better.


Any ideas?
Cheers
Rob

Re: Synching Thunderbird address book to iPhone?

2009-05-14 Thread Ronda Brown


Hi Rob,

For a one way sync, this is a fairly simple manual method:

1. Export thunderbird address book as an LDIF
2. Import the LDIF into the Apple Address Book.
3. Plug in the iphone to sync as normal.

I found this which might help you:

Re: Address Book problem

2008-12-01 Thread Rob Davies


Morning,

Sounds like printer driver is running out of real estate, so have you  
tried other printers on said machine. Resetting labels info through  
layout button, correct page size (A4 or US Letter) or labels selected  
in drop down box is correct, with relative page size which then  
corresponds with printer actual page size it is attempting to print on.


Does it show country in preview window as I found it prints only what  
it previews, this is a direct relation to your printer and relative  
software.


I had trouble replicating issue on three different printers in my  
environment, but not ticking print country box for each print run was  
basically it.


Cheers!
`Rob...

Hi Stephen,

I'm using Address Book v4.1.1 in Leopard OS X 10.5.5 and my Address

In Address Book, the country code can be changed by clicking on the  
address label (home, work, etc.) while in edit mode, and selecting  
Change Address Format...


I have noticed that each time I print an envelope I need to check  
the box again for Print Country in my printer setup dialogue box.

It doesn't hold the tick from previous print of envelope.
I'm using an Epson TX700W MF Printer.

Hi Steven,

When you add a Contact in Address Book on the G4 iBook your  
computer does not send that data immediately to the
MobileMe servers. At best, your computer checks in with  
MobileMe once every 15 minutes (unless you sync it manually)— 
and in some cases

the delay is much longer.

You should see the added contact on the MBP eventually, but not  
straight away.

MobileMe does push sync, but it's not push from end to end - yet!
Apple has indicated that we should expect push updates from  
Computers to the cloud at some point in the future, but for  
the time being, it's only push from the cloud down.

Well, maybe I just gotta learn to be patient. Just picked up my iPhone

Thanks Ronni. This is the problem though - I add the contact on  
the iBook, do a manual Sync (several times now), but still the  
new contact does not reflect on the MBP, despite having also  
forced a manual sync on the MBP also.


Just checked the MBP again - still no contact added. That's why  
I'm thinking there must be something else.

I've checked and double checked all the settings in the

Any other clues as to what might be the cause?


Hi Steven,

When you add a Contact in Address Book on the G4 iBook your  
computer does not send that data immediately to the
MobileMe servers. At best, your computer checks in with  
MobileMe once every 15 minutes (unless you sync it manually)— 
and in some cases

the delay is much longer.

You should see the added contact on the MBP eventually, but  
not straight away.
MobileMe does push sync, but it's not push from end to end -  
yet!
Apple has indicated that we should expect push updates from  
Computers to the cloud at some point in the future, but for  
the time being, it's only push from the cloud down

Steven, Is the Contact you have made in Address Book on the iBook,
reflected in your online MobileMe Account under Contacts?

i.e.: Has it synced to MobileMe online cloud-servers?

I just had a quick look at Apple discussions and sounds like you are
not the only person having sync issues at the moment.
Apparently Apple Engineers are aware of the problem and they'll fix
it, eventually.

Some people have had success Resetting their sync data. NB. If you try
this make sure you have a backup first as resetting your sync data
deletes all the synchronised data from the other location.
You can just replace 'Contacts' in the Reset Sync Data - Replace pop-
up menu, if that is the only problem sync you are experiencing.

I have not experienced any problems syncing to my devices or my
computer, but some people have.
