Contact management > Synchronizing MYOB cards with Mac Address Book cards
Synchronizing MYOB cards with Mac Address Book cardsIf you use Address Book to manage contact information, you can synchronize your MYOB cards and your Address Book cards. This makes it easier for you to keep your MYOB cards and your Address Book cards up to date.When you synchronize, new cards are added and existing cards, if modified, are updated. If the same field has been modified in both an MYOB card and Address Book card, a conflict resolution window allows you to choose how you want to update the card.You can synchronize card names, address details, email and web addresses and telephone, fax and cell phone numbers. For information on the fields that are synchronized, see Address Book Sync Mapping Reference.Note that inactive cards are included in the synchronization (for information, see Inactivating or reactivating a record).To synchronize MYOB cards and Address Book, you need Mac OS X 10.4 or later installed.Synchronizing your MYOB cards and your Address Book will change the details recorded in your Address Book. Back up your Address Book before synchronizing. For more information, see Address Book Help.Address Book cards that are synchronized with MYOB cards are stored in MYOB group folders. These folders are created automatically when you synchronize for the first time.If you move a card to an MYOB group folder (for example, from the All folder to the Customer folder) and you want to synchronize this card, you need to reset the synchronization. See Resetting the synchronization.If you have duplicate cards in your MYOB cards list, you should combine or rename these cards before you synchronize. (For more information, see Combining records.)
