19.10. Address Book

Address Book is Mac OS X's little-black-book program—an electronic Rolodex where

you can stash the names, job titles, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and

Internet chat screen names of all the people in your life (Figure 19-23). Address Book can

also hold related information, like birthdays, anniversaries, and any other tidbits of

personal data you'd like to keep at your fingertips.

Once you make Address Book the central repository of all your personal contact

information, you can call up this information in a number of convenient ways:

• You can launch Address Book and search for a contact by typing just a few letters

in the Search box.

To Dos and Notes: The Big Sync

Whether you edit your To Do list and Notes in your email program (Mail) or

your calendar program (iCal), they're always just one sync away from a Palm

organizer, a cellphone, or an iPod.

You do the iPod syncing in iTunes, of all places. Just connect the iPod to the

Mac, select its icon in the source list, and click the Contacts tab. Scroll to the

Calendars area and turn on the calendars you want to copy to the iPod. Finally,

click the Apply button in the corner of the iTunes window. Once you've

synchronized iPod with Mac, you can find your calendars and To Do items on

the iPod at iPod Extras Calendars To Dos.

And what about the iPhone? If you have that glorious comination of a .Mac

account and an iPhone, your To Do items sync right over from your Mac to the

iPhone. Find them on the phone in Mail Accounts .Mac Apple Mail

To Do.

Note: To Dos and Notes from .Mac mail accounts sit in their own little area of

the Reminders list in Mail. Control-click the .Mac ones; in the shortcut menu,

you'll see options for syncing and editing with your shared calendar. If you

check your .Mac mail in a Web browser when you're away from home, you can

see (but not edit) the Notes you've created on your Mac.
