Prepare your Mac for iPhone

Click again on the link above. When the page loads, where it has the Premium and Free columns, scroll down and click the free button. When the new page loads, just go with whatever option loads on where to download from and type in the code. Click Download via "insert download point name here" It seems to be a nice app, but the problem I have been having is when it is about 3 seconds from being done loading all of my facebook buddies, the app crashes. I can pick the option i want (update pic, info, etc.) but i have to click Ok just before I think it will crash so the info can be uploaded to address book. Doing this I also don't get everyone loaded because those last few never make it. Good luck!

A couple of tips for getting your contacts photos in Address Book and thus the iPhone.

Use AdiumBook to sync your Adium contacts profile pictures
Use FacebookSync to use your contacts Facebook profile pictures as the pics used in Address Book

The latter also pulls other information from Facebook such as email addresses, phone numbers etc. Very useful as you let your contacts do the hard work of keeping your Address Book up to date instead of doing it manually.

Both are freeware.

The facebook app was taken off the site, does anyone know where else to find it, or could possibly host it/send it to me? thanks a lot.

Well as it was stated earlier in this thread there is a link to rapidshare (which while not a great site, does have a copy of the app)

I'm glad I got it too, it added everyone's birthday that I didn't have.

I just used the Missing Sync to pull my Windows Mobile contacts from my Moto Q to the Address book. A little spring cleaning and I'm all set. I used the 14-day demo available here:

One tip that I might suggest: A lot of people, including myself, use the "previously sent addresses" that Mac Mail remembers as an Address Book. Since it resolves the name using message headers (i.e. John Doe = jdoe@blah.com), I've never added an entry for most people in my Address Book; it just automatically comes up when I start typing the name.

Time to start right-clicking those names in Mail and saying Add to Address Book!

I was able to download from that site, but once the app has me login to facebook it opens the other app and crashes. Any ideas or places for a more stable version?
