IContact Suddenly Started Crashing

mototom...@gmail.com (mototom800) — Wed, 10 Oct 2009 15:10:01 UT

I have been happily using iContact for several months. Today I ended
up doing 75 MS updates (apparently my Auto Update wasn't). Now every
time I start i Contact it crashes and offers to send the crash data to
MS.

I have uninstalled iContact, rebooted and reinstalled iContact and
it's still crashing.

Shared Contacts via iContact?

robg...@gmail.com — Tue, 05 May 2009 01:37:41 UT

Do you see a problem with the following scenario?

The Contacts list is a list of club members and potential club
members. Four different folks have a need to access this list for
different, but similar, reasons. For example, the treasure wants to
send out "Dues Due" notices to all members, the secretary wants to

Hi. I want to say you that I really like your app.
It is really nice for find my contacts very quickly.

BUT... I have a special request for you (please, please, please!!):

I can not see any contact.

Could you make that the contacts remains saved on the computer and

Hi,

Is there any plan to manage birthdays in the future? Just an

Hi guys!

I really want to use this app but i get the zip file for newer

Dear iContact User,

I started iContact as a tool to solve a problem I had with Google
contacts and decided to give it away for free so others can benefit
from it as well. During the course of last year, I've been surprised
by the level of support and success this little tool has had. It's
been picked up by a couple of PC magazines as the top 50 downloads of

XP and Vista Incompatibility

steviag...@gmail.com — Mon, 03 Mar 2009 12:43:51 UT

This program was just what I what looking for, an offline way to view
my gmail contacts. However, I noticed a Vista issue, only the first
and last word of the contact name show. For example, if my gmail
contact is listed as "Billy's Best Tree Service", on my machine
running XP with icontact that's how it looks, but on my Vista machine

As I read the other messages, all my thoughts are there already:

1) You are #1, a real good first for the millions using gmail and -
that's my case - the millions using G1 Android phones very soon.
2) Must haves: work off line, show groups,

Offline contact backup

nabil...@gmail.com (nka) — Sun, 01 Jan 2009 19:56:00 UT

Hello, is there an offline support option that is available for
iContact? I don't see the point of only being able to access your
contacts if you have an internet connection. It would be nice if
iContact would backup your contacts offline. If this feature is
currently unavailable, any hope of it being added to a future version?

Great application - a suggested enhancement

miles.ro...@gmail.com — Sun, 01 Jan 2009 11:28:12 UT

First of all, just wanted to say that what you've done with this so
far is very good and I'm quite impressed.
However, whilst having the Google address book available locally is
very useful, without email software integration its not as useful as
it could be.

For those users using email applications like Thunderbird, they

Adding contacts

jasoncott...@gmail.com — Mon, 01 Jan 2009 20:24:08 UT

I really like this app. It is nice for editing my contacts, but for
adding information, there is no options. ie. I add a new contact, all
I can edit is the name. There is no way to add email address, mail
address, phone number, or nothing. Or if I have an existing contact, I
can't add a phone number or email address to it in addition to the

Hi,

First of all thanks very much for creating this piece, you know I've
been looking for (something like) this for weeks on the net, to reach
Google contacts from API.

Would be more comfortable if:
- When modifying a contact, you wouldn't have to click save for the
changes to take effect (or a popup with "save changes / discard

creating Groups in iContact

nikki.e.vaug...@gmail.com (Moosical) — Mon, 12 Dec 2008 15:42:31 UT

It would be nice to see what groups the contacts are a part of as well
as be able to create new groups in the application... as opposed to
going back to Gmail to create the group and see it's members...

Thank you!! This is a great idea! Will be very handy for me!!!

iContact offline option ??

multiflexsoftw...@googlemail.com — Wed, 12 Dec 2008 09:36:50 UT

Hi,

I discovered iContact yesterday and it looks like a very useful piece
of software - I'm still investigating. I notice that each time
iContact starts, it downloads/synchronizes my address book from
Google, 50 contacts at a time. If the internet is not available, the
program won't start - is there an option for viewing my address book

Found Bug? Related to New Contact

spamgr...@gmail.com — Thu, 12 Dec 2008 15:51:16 UT

If you click the Add New Contact button then you try to edit it but
then cancel instead of save you get an error "object reference not set
to an instance of an object".

great tool! look forward to all the planned improvements.

Search, and then Copy

bo...@admonsters.org (Bowen) — Tue, 12 Dec 2008 17:42:49 UT

Awesome app! One thing that I would love to be able to do is search,
and then copy the basic info from a contact to the clipboard, so I
could then paste it into another application (mainly, email).

thoughts?

less, and i think it is all in line with those new online apps, like

Skype dialing defaults to the wrong country

techsavvyreal...@gmail.com (MaseratiJ) — Fri, 09 Sep 2008 02:08:35 UT

When I highlight the phone number title and choose "Call with Skype"
iContact starts a call with the wrong country code. For me it uses
Egypt, I am US. I do not see anything in Skype Options that would
help, and it is pretty much all of the 500 contacts.

Thank you for being productive.

Not sure if I'm missing something, or if this is a limitation of the

existing email, but if I wish to add an additional one I can't find an
option for it.
Great little application though, could prove to be essential in time.

I closed the program then reopened it and the name was properly

a .csv or other type of file filled with multiple addresses and pieces
of information at one time, as an upgrade to the "Add contact" tool
that is preexisting. There isn't really a good program out there to
do so, and I think that it would be a major reason that a lot of

First of all, thank you sincerely. I, too, was frustrated by the lack

see being very useful: mailings. To print envelops, I usually go into
