I have successfully sync my messy outlook address book to iphone (my outlook address book comprises of Palm V address book and all my emails in outlook). I didnt realize that it will be that easy to sync. I need to clean up in outlook and sync again! The question I have now is how to delete all my contacts in iphone. I want to start new. When syncing, it really sync and I cannot choose which is the master PC or iphone to base on… Anyone has an answer, pls. let me know…..

@james

This may be a silly question, but have you turned on address book and contact syncing in iTunes?

When you connect your iPhone you’ll have that option – if you’ve done that, and it isn’t working, then explain the situation with a little more detail – is the iPhone connecting to your Mac at all? Does more than one person in the house have an iPhone? Can you get your music and movies onto it?

why can I not get my address book or contacts on to my iphone. I have tried every thing all the way down to deleting my com.apple.AddressBook.plist and many other hacks.

I have been using apple most of my design life. I can not understand how apple would make an item that would not work with there computers.

So, um…. anybody want to point me to a page that shows the best way to export my Palm’s address book data to Mac’s own? I’m almost sheepish to admit that I haven’t…. quite…. figured it out….

Thanks!

@ Ronan -

If you guys get it carrier free, I might move over there.

I did this as soon as I bough OS X all those years ago and the details have stayed with me since. Its so easy to do and whenever an email from a contact shows up in Mail.app their picture appears and their iChat status if they’re online.
Just hope the Europe release of the iPhone isnt tied to a carrier like you poor guys have in the US.
