FacebookSync used to sync your Apple Address Book with data from your Facebook account. Specifically, it pulled down your friends' names, emails, AIM, mobile phone number, and photo. It added missing photos, inserted missing information, and added missing records to your Apple AddressBook. This was great if you use iChat or Bluetooth-sync your AddressBook with your cellphone. Now it is a mere shadow of its once greatness due to Facebook's draconian Terms of Use.
What's new in FacebookSync
Version 2.2:
Updated to latest version of MKAbeFook to allow FacebookSync to keep working
It's unlikely that the developer will be able to fix it until 10.5 is actually released, and unless you are authorized to be running 10.5, you shouldn't be. Probably going to mess up your system anyway.
The app loads up fine, but for 99% of the contacts, nothing gets downloaded from Facebook. I know the names work because I have used AddressBookSync with it to load all the photos earlier. Please help, I am running the latest 10.5.6 OS
Just sits there and does nothing after i log in and close the window when it tells me, even tried using appdelete to remove the old one and then reinstalling but no joy! :(
anyone experiencing an immediate crash after the login screen? i have been experiencing the same problem with the older versions, anyone got over 800 friends, i think that is the problem, can't pull the data without crashing ?! cheers
Suppose one's got a working older copy of an app with htis name. Suppose one doesn't check MacUpdate (or similar) that often. More precisely, would one miss in terms of syncing if that one would suddenly check MacUpdate and download the new release?

No longer seems to find any updated facebook people. I have people who have added me etc but the sync program doesnt register anyone (it worked fine the first time)
Much better! No crashes and seems to work flawlessly. I noticed one thing, when you want to quit the program it says quit newapplication? Must have missed that one. I was thinking it would be great if you didn't have the loggin window at all or maybe just when you lauch it for the first time. After that it's part of the preferences so you don't have to login in manually each time. Just an idea.
Yep got the same problem here, its actually updated a couple of peoples photos in address book but not added new people or anything else.
i have emailed the crash log to you
Great Idea, but needs a little more work. Does as promised but the interface could use some improving. It seems to do everything it promises but at the end it crashes. So is it fully getting all the information or is it cut short when it crashes?
