Thanks Ronni. This is the problem though - I add the contact on the
iBook, do a manual Sync (several times now), but still the new contact
does not reflect on the MBP, despite having also forced a manual sync
on the MBP also.
Just checked the MBP again - still no contact added. That's why I'm
thinking there must be something else.
Cheers, Steven

I have a MBP and a G4 iBook both running latest OS, and each set up
with a MobileMe account (the same one), and each set to sync
contacts. If however I add a contact on the iBook, and Sync the
iBook, and then sync the MBP as well, I just don't see the added
contact in Address Book from the MBP.
I've checked and double checked all the settings in the MobileMe
system prefs. Contacts is ticked in the Sync panel of each Mac, and
everything else looks fine.
Any other clues as to what might be the cause?
Hi Steven,
When you add a Contact in Address Book on the G4 iBook your computer
does not send that data immediately to the
MobileMe servers. At best, your computer checks in with MobileMe
once every 15 minutes (unless you sync it manually)—and in some cases
the delay is much longer.
You should see the added contact on the MBP eventually, but not
straight away.
MobileMe does push sync, but it's not push from end to end - yet!
Apple has indicated that we should expect push updates from
Computers to the "cloud" at some point in the future, but for the
time being, it's only push from the "cloud" down.
Cheers,
Ronni
