I just did mine and it worked fine. Kinda nice, since I often access and compose e-mail from friend's or workplace computers and I have a hard time juggling all those e-mail addresses and other other contact info in my head.



Great little thing to have.

    Hoo-frikkin'-rah!



    /me runs off to sync...



    That was painless enough, although the fact it defaults to Home email addresses could be a pain in the derriere...

    It is..hooray

    When I went to .mac though it was still saying 'coming soon' for address syncing but address book had been synched. Excellent. Gradually getting value for money out of .mac...keep it coming Apple

    I've read reports that people are getting the custom pictures from Address Book to sync with .Mac address book. Is this true? I have custom pictures set for many people in my address book and none of them show up on my .Mac address book. Any suggestions?

    Eugene,

    Did you register your .Mac account to be included in the sync? (i.e., click on the .Mac logo in iSync and follow the directions)



    You probably did, but that was something I didn't realize I had to do at first.

    I followed the directions word for word. That shouldn't even matter though as iSync is borked altogether for me since who knows when...it's not just the online address book. I tried on several other computers too, and I get the same result. Something is broken on the .Mac server-side...
