Using the Address Book Library
The Address Book library displays contact information from the Mac OS Address Book
application, so there is no need to re-enter your contact information. Enter new
contacts in Address Book or in Bento, and the information appears in both
applications.
Note The Bento Address Book library is not synced with Bento 4 for iPad. To work with
your Address Book data on Bento
4 for iPad, migrate your Address Book library to a
new Contacts library, then sync the new Contacts library with Bento
4 for iPad. For
more information, see
”Migrating the Address Book Library” on page 42.
About the Address Book Library
If you set Bento to display the Address Book library, Bento gets the contact
information and groups from the Mac OS Address Book application. When you make
changes to records in the Bento Address Book library, you are also updating the
records in the Address Book application.
• If you add a record in the Address Book library, then it is added to the Address
Book application.
• If you delete a record in the Address Book library, then it is deleted from the
Address Book application.
• For every group that you create in the Address Book application, Bento
creates an Address Book library collection.
• For every collection you create in the Address Book library, the Address Book
application creates an Address Book group.
• If you delete a collection under the Address Book library, the associated
Address Book group is also deleted. Similarly, if you delete a group in the
Address Book application, the associated collection under the Address Book
library is also deleted.
Note When you create a new library using the Contacts template, you can choose to
have Bento import your Address Book library data.
