iSync

Symptom

Some of the contacts on your phone are not copied from the phone to the Address Book application.


Solution

iSync is designed to synchronize with the data in the phone's memory and will not synchronize with the data stored on the phone's SIM card.

Some mobile phones allow you to move contacts between the phone's memory and the SIM card. This permits you to move the data with the SIM card to another phone. Consult your phone's documentation for information about how to copy or move contacts from the SIM card to the phone's memory to synchronize this data using iSync.
