Synching can be done in two directions:
- from mobile to Mac
- from Mac to mobile
It is possible to sync all the unsynched contacts/numbers/emails or just the current selection.
To initiate a sync you must first select one or more contacts/numbers/emails in order to activate the sync button.
You can synchronize contacts also by dragging and dropping from one list to the other. Using drag and drop it is possible to:
- merge two contacts. Select a contact on one list and drop it over a contact on the other list
- replace a number/email. Select a number/email on one list and drop it over a number/email on the other list.
- add one number/email to one contact. Select a number/email on one list and drop it over a contact on the other list.
- add one contact. Select a contact on one list and drop it between two contacts or before the first contact of the other list
The "Force Synching" button is used to synchronize one number present in more than one Mac contact to different contacts on the mobile. A typical case is when two persons work in the same office. They may have two contacts, but both use the same telephone number. With this button you'll be able to select a number present in more then one contact and synchronize it more than once. This function is available only when synching from your Mac to the mobile.
All synching commands are undoable and re-doable, but after a reload or delete command the undo function will be cleared.
The preference panels let you manage various synching configurations:
- it is possible to configure how the description of new contacts written to the mobile will be generated (usually on mobiles, the contact's descriptions are shorter than on the Mac, so it it possible to decide the length, and the fields that will compose new mobile's description.
- it is possible to add or remove prefixes and suffixes from numbers synched to the mobile or to the Mac.
- you can control where fields will be populated on contacts created during synchronization from a mobile to the Mac. You can store the mobile's contact description in one or more fields on the newly generated contact on the Mac.
