Do you have a central contacts list? It’s pretty difficult to nowadays. In my case, it’s a near impossibility. I’ve simply changed services too many times, failing to copy all of my contacts over each time I move. You know what we could all use? A consolidation tool. Something that will connect with all of my old services and pull all of my contacts.

If there is anything that I always forget to do, it’s maintain my contact list. For years, I tried to keep a current list, but my family or friends would move, their address and phone numbers would change – and inevitably my entire mobile address book would be completely outdated. There has never been a [...]

To me, Thunderbird 3 is a little more than just a desktop eMail client, it’s a cult. The release of Thunderbird 3 has breathed new life into a program that had slowly been losing grounds to competitors like Google Mail. By adding several new options and much more flexibility, Thunderbird is back yet again! Of [...]

I think it’s hard to find any technology-minded person who doesn’t know the iTunes Music Store (now called only the iTunes Store). Part of the reason why this number one internet music store has become so popular is because it integrates well with other popular Apple products like the iPod and iPhone. But the iTunes [...]

I have gone through a new Windows Mobile Device every year for almost 6 years now. I have had horrible incidents working with ActiveSync and my Exchange server, where I had duplicate copies of all of my contacts. This is a royal pain in the ass, to say the least. I have tried lots of [...]

I am one of the worst when it comes to keeping my email address book up to date. I never add in new people I meet or get emails from. This means my auto-complete never works, and I always forget who is who. I’m sure I’m not the first one with this problem, and I’m sure I [...]

Back in August, I showed you how to backup your mobile contacts and sync events to iCal using Address Book and iSync. Personally, I find it easier to edit contact information in Address Book then sync it over rather than filling in the fields on the mobile phone. One field in particular is very prominent: [...]

Business cards are out of date. They’re paper, which immediately makes them dinosaurs. You get them, and have to figure out what to do – do you copy it all into Outlook? Do you use a Rolodex? It’s just not the best way to do it. Thankfully, there are a growing number of ways to [...]

Most things will work well on Mac but unfortunately, every operating system has its limitations. On Macs, we have what we call “quirks”. These quirks are random issues which are pretty simple to solve but Apple just won’t. OS X users will then rally on the Apple Support forums to try and unravel the solution. [...]

One cool thing about Macs is that most of their applications interrelate and communicate with each other out of the box. Information bounces across multiple applications seamlessly. Data from Mail can be sent to iCal and Address Book without raising an eyebrow, as I have written in a previous article. Many Mac users embrace this [...]
