Bug in Mac OS X Tiger Address Book Syncing with .Mac Continues in
10.4.2
Apple's Mac OS X 10.4.2 update to Mac OS X, released
yesterday, fixed a large number of bugs in Mac OS X Tiger, but the Address Book
Syncing bug that I reported on earlier here was not among the many bugs fixed in this
Mac OS X Tiger release. To summarize the problem, contact URL's are lost when
syncing Contacts to .Mac (and subsequently to other Macs). Apple has known about
this problem for several months; their technical note
301230,
advising .Mac subscribers to "put URLs in the Notes field for Address Book
syncing," is dated March 30, 2005. Don't get me wrong. I think Tiger is an
awesome OS, and I'm a happy .Mac subscriber, but I hope Apple will fix this in
the next update to Tiger.
