Chapter 12 Syncing 131
7 After the sync is complete, if you have an existing Address Book library, you
are asked to migrate the data. Follow the onscreen instructions to migrate the
data.
Note Bento does not support syncing your Bento Address Book library with
Bento
4 for iPad.
If the library includes any locked encrypted fields, you are asked to enter the
Database Password to unlock the fields. If you don’t unlock the encrypted fields,
Bento does not migrate the library.
To migrate the data, you can also choose your device in the Devices section of the
Libraries pane, then click Migrate. Follow the onscreen instructions to migrate the
data.
After the migration is complete, the Address Book library in Bento for Mac is
replaced with a Bento Contacts library. The new Bento Contacts library is not
connected to the Mac OS Address Book application. To view the new Contacts
library on your device, sync Bento for Mac with your iOS device again.
For information about migrating your data, see ”Migrating the iCal, iPhoto, and
Address Book Libraries” on page 41.
