[QUOTE="malcolmi, post: 1413075, member: 80331"] I eventually contacted Apple Support about this. It appears that the Address Book data on the iMac was in some way corrupt - although it had always appeared to work perfectly. Support was able to fix the problem by exporting Address Book data to vCard, deleting Address Book data, and re-importing the contacts. After this, sync seems to work OK. The only problem was this process (export/import via vCard) lost the Group information from Address Book, so I have had to restore these manually. With hindsight it might have been a good idea to take screen shots of the group names to make them easier to restore. - Malcolm [/QUOTE]
