hi everyone. i have a question about my address book. my wife has an iphone and recently got an ipad. yaaaaa! its very cool btw.

we want to export her contacts from her phone to the ipad since it will basically be her computer. she backs up and syncs via my itunes (using a separate itunes library) on my macbook but i wanted to keep the contacts separate so i have never backed up her contacts on my computer.

my question would be can i create a separate address book on my macbook that will only sync with her devices? i know when i sync her phone all i do is open itunes holding option and i can select her library. address book doesnt seem to have this option.

i have exported her contacts from the phone in a csv file. when i try to import it into my address book with a separate group, its not seeming to work. it replaces all of my contacts and the ones it imports are all blank cards.

sorry for the length of the post. any help would be appreciated. thanks again!!
