Synchronising AccountEdge cards with Mac Address Book cards
You can synchronise card names, address details, email and web addresses and telephone, fax and cell phone numbers. For information on the fields that are synchronised, see Address Book Sync Mapping Reference.
Note that inactive cards are included in the synchronisation (for information, see Inactivating or reactivating a record).
If you move a card to a group folder (for example, from the All folder to the Customer folder) and you want to synchronize this card, you need to reset the synchronisation. See Resetting the synchronisation.
If you have duplicate cards in your AccountEdge cards list, you should combine or rename these cards before you synchronise. (For more information, see Combining records.)
