ashtreex Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hello, Bittorrent Sync looks great for the iPhone / Mac syncing. It would be good if one could sync contacts - is there a way? Apple doesn't let one see a folder or file for that in the iPhone. This would be specially handy as in Mavericks, OS X 10.9, contacts are only synced via iCloud , which has caused some outrage among iPhone users.

GreatMarko Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Remember that Sync is a file synchronization tool - it's not designed for synchronizing arbitrary "settings" or "contacts", unless these are stored in a physical (and accessible) file.

TimCinel Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Unfortunately, I don't think it's likely. Contacts are represented as files in OS X's Contacts application:/Users/{User}/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Sources/{Address Book Hash}/Metadata/{Contact Hash}\/ABPerson.abcdpHowever, I think contacts are only stored in sqlite databases on iOS:/var/mobile/Library/AddressBook/AddressBook.sqlitedbThere were no results for files ending in "*.abcdp" on my iOS 6 file system =( Therefore, even if you could sync arbitrary files on iOS (i.e. jailbroken), it wouldn't work because storage mechanisms differ between iOS and OS X. Mac OS X 10.9 and iOS 7 both allow CardDAV syncing. Worth noting that there a bug in the account setup process in iOS 7, a simple workaround[1][2] is required to get CardDAV working again.[1]: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23375060#23375060[2]: https://github.com/owncloud/ios-issues/issues/103 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
