Sync your Address Book with FaceBook

FacebookSync was a really handy tool to pull out all sorts of personal information from your Facebook friends and sync that your Mac Address Book. Since FacebookSync was released though, time has passed and Facebook has been criticized for its handling of private data, forcing the social network to tighten security. This means that it's harder than ever for applications like Facebook Sync.

FacebookSync could take all sorts of information including name, numbers, emails, addresses and even photos. FacebookSync will still work but you will be much more limited in the information that you can access.

FacebookSync is easy to use: once launched and your Facebook account accessed, a pop up window for every one of your contact will appear and ask you whether you want to add the information to your Address Book. Obviously it can take a little while for FacebookSync to get around it all if you have a significant amount of friends.

Once synced, your friends will have been added and filed to your Address Book. Note that FacebookSync does not let you work the other way around.

Until Facebook changed its Terms of Use, it used to be very useful for syncing friends to your Address Book. Much more restricted now.

Amazing Application. This application is amazing!!! I dont know what I would have done without it, because I really use my e-mail account, and remembering my friend's birhtday's are hard, so I put it so that Gmail automatically emails me when one of my contacts' birthday is coming up. Also having the picture of the person is good too because this way I can recognize them after a long time. I cannot figure out how to pass their actual e-mails, but this application just amazed me. Pros: EVERYTHING FROM: passing of names, photos, emails, and even birthdays! Cons: cannot figure out how to pass my contacts main email (not AIM)

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
