Address Panel in Mail.app empty but Address Book app full

I recently updated to Mountain Lion. I have a mid-2011 iMac i7. I can't honestly say that it stopped working with the advent of Mountain Lion but it is the most recent change.
When I type a name in the Mail.app new email "To" field it will not read my contacts. The processing lined circle spins over on the right but never does anything. I looked in my contacts app and everything is fine. If I go into the mail.app and go to window->address panel it is empty. I am not using iCloud for contacts on any of my devices.
I tried searching a contact name from spotlight and it shows up under contacts... but hey, like i said, all my contacts are available in the contacts app.

Thunderbird does not have this problem, nor does Postbox. Both are now listed under security settings as having address book access. Mail.app is not listed as having access and there's not an option to add it.

Postbox (free for 30 days, $10 to buy): http://postbox-inc.com

  • I opened netters anatomy atlas app but not want to purchase it then i go for app store but that neeter app page only opening what i do

    If you are in the Enterprise program, apps can be distributed only to that company's employees. If you want to distribute to customers in general, you would have to be a member of the normal iOS developer program and either use ad-hoc distribution for up to 100 users, or go through the App Store. There are no other options I'm aware of, though you can contact Apple Developer Support through your membership resources and ask.

  • I am looking for a text to speech app that supports the Books App?

    I am looking for a text to speech app that supports the Books App?

    If Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> VoiceOver does not work, then it is unlikely iBooks will do text to speach on its own in the current version.
    <http://www.apple.com/feedback>
    I know that some competing services, Kindle, Nook, etc... are restricted in doing text to speach by the book publishers.
    If this is text in a PDF (not an ebook), then maybe there is another app that can to text to speach on PDFs.
    If it is published books that are of interest, there is Audible.com <http://www.audible.com/>
    In theory it should be possible to use the Mac OS X Text to Speach facilities to convert a document into an audio file, and they sync that to the iPod Touch.  I assume there is similar text to speach utilities for Windows systems.
    I'm also guessing that there are web sites dedicated to assisting sight impaired individuals that might provide ideas for getting text to speach options for the iPod Touch.

  • Address Book App Gone But Addresses Still Usable

    I sync my Entourage with my apple addressbook so that all contacts are in Addressbook. I seldom ever open addressbook. Today I wanted to export some Vcards and went to the application folder and the addressbook was not there. My Entourage program is linked to an addressbook file in my user library and all the addresses appear to be visible through entourage.
    So how do I get the address book app back? I have another addressbook on a second mac I have, can I just drag it over my network and put it in my apps file or will that write over the existing database?

    Well I dragged the address book application from another computer on my network to my application file. All the addresses that Entourage is using can now be seen in the Addressbook I dragged over.

  • Tarot (Thai Version) (free app download but charging in app from True Move)

    I've downloaded free app Tarot (Thai Version) from App Store. This app is Free but when I opened the app, it has charged 10 baht per time to play this app. I will pay via True Move payment gateway. So I don't understand, it should be in Free app category. It's shameful. I don't understand why Apple has allowed this app to release on App Store in Free Zone.

    And I cannot find the latest version of iPhoto on the App Store that the system requires, and it shows "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store.". I am desperate to find a way to recover my iPhoto data because I was investing so much on it that there are so much photography that I cannot lose. If you know anything about this, please please help me out! Thanks!!
    To be able to help with this part of the question, it would help to know your current iPhoto version, and if you bought it from the AppStore.
    With Yosemite MacOS X 10.10.3 you need iPhoto 9.6.1. This version is only sold at the AppStore, but right now, you can no longer purchase it:
    When searching the App Store for iPhoto I get:
    But if you own a version of iPhoto 9.x.x, you should be able to update or reinstall it from the Purchases tab or the Update tab.
    iPhoto may be hidden on your Purchases tab.
    You may need to unhide your purchases.  Also try the "Updates" tab at the App Store.
    See this post by Tom Perkins:
    Re: how do i sort albums by date in the new photos app?
    I just went through the situation of not finding iPhoto 9.6.1 in the App Store. Working with Applecare, the solution was to (a) delete the iPhoto app, (b) restart my iMac, (c) go to the App store and click on Purchases, and (d) reinstall iPhoto. In my case, for some reason, iPhoto was hidden from my purchases.  Go to Store > View My Account, and go to Manage for Hidden Purchases, where you can unhide iPhoto.  Once I did that, things seemed to work okay.

  • Can't open app updates but can access App Store, any suggestions?

    Can access the App Store but updates are shown but will not open

    Try updating from here:
    App Store>Purchased>Select "All"
    Note: You'll have to look out for apps that have the word "Update"

  • Click on app link goes to App Store but not the app

    Since I updated to iOS 6, clicking on a direct link to an app gets me to the store but not the particular app.
    Then I have to remember the exact name and search for it. In previous iOS I could get to the app directly.
    This is most annoying. How do I change this behavior?

    Well, it still is not working as I expected.
    Sometimes, if I click on the link, it will go to the app store and produce a blank white screen.
    If I go back to the link, in an email or web page, and try again, then the desired app will pop up when it goes to the app store. Sometimes the app store will just quit. Then if I go back to the store it will show the desired app.

  • Is it possible to alphabetized the address panel in Mail?  It is alphabetized in iCal.

    What happened to the address book on the top of the mail page that showed up on Snow Leopard when you were writing a new email?  I don't know where to find that on OSX Lion.

    George
    How are you address listed in your Address Book, I think they should show up in mail the same way.
    Some thing to try is open Address Book then under Card in the upper menu bar, go to
    Reorder First Name before Last, and click on that once or twice, Last Name before First then back to First Name.
    Also make sure with in the Address Book that all of your names are in the correct box, ie First Name, Last Name

  • My Ipad 2 will not open apps that I have download from the app store but will open apps that came preinstalled.

    My IPAD 2 will some times not open apps that I have down load from the app store. But will open all of the preinstalled apps.I must go to the app store and install something and then all the apps will open. I should not have to install unwanted apps to keep my IPad working.I have reset and total reset nothing sames to work.

    Sounds to me like you may have an issue with the firmware, i.e. the iOS version that you are runing.  I also have an iPad 2  and sometimes have to restart it to get it to recognize and run a newly downloaded app.  And only once or twice have I had to uninstall and redownload an app that this didn't fix. I think this has more to do with the way an app has been coded more than anything else.
    You might try doing a "Reset All Settings" reset and set it up as a new iPad.  You should not lose any data, apps, music, videos, etc. that you have stored on your device.  I have done this a few times when tweaking the iOS 5.0.1 firmware and never lost anything.  You do have to re-enter your ID's and Passwords for wifi.  And of course you will need to go back into settings and reset any changes you may have made to things like location and notifications.
    I don't know if this will work, but if I was in your place this is the next step that I would take.

  • Upgrade worked(?), apps back, but non-native apps won't open

    Anybody having this problem....after 6 hours, iOS 5 update completed on my iPad2.  No error messages, all apps back where they belonged.  I thought I was one of the lucky few for which it all worked.
    But..none of my non-native apps will even open - just a quick darkening of the screen and back to Home.
    All native apps open and work.
    I have rebooted...nothing...
    Should I try restoring again?  Or is there a way that would take less than 6 hours??
    Thanks

    Exact same problem, I restored and it seemd to work again - so i put all my apps and movies back on and volla, it does the 'maximizing' animation as if the app is about to start loading then it just vanishs.. the built in apps all work but not a single other app loads

  • Buying from US App store but getting the App in local language

  • My folder is empty but my playlists are full?

    I was trying to create a playlist inside my folder, and now the folder shows empty content with the two playlists that still contain the music.  I cannot sync this folder and its music to my ipod.  When I try to sync, It ignores that folder and its contents.  I cannot move the playlists anywhere.  I cannot copy the contents of my playlists back to the folder.

    I think I've been trying that(2), but when i press OK a pop-up says that I don't have the authorization to do this, and when I try it a second time, nothing happens. And I'm not sure how to set up a new windows user, i tried removing all the iTunes software and all that and reinstalling, but that didn't do anything, and the playlist was still intact.
    Edit* There's also a little lock icon beside the ipod information at the bottom of the iTunes screen when i have my iPod selected. it tells me Used: 1.50 GB and shows the little bar and then Free: 335.5 MB and then this little lock. ??????????

  • Need to start over, how do I clear the music in iTunes but keep books, apps

    The external drive I connect to my laptop changes designation (E:to F: to E: to G: etc.) every time I plug it in and now I have two copies of everything.
    What I would like to do, first, is wipe out all the songs in my iTunes library. That is music only, apps, books etc are stored locally on the laptop, the music and music only is on the external hard drive.
    Then I want to figure out how to keep my external hard drive at the same drive letter and re-add my music from said drive.
    If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks! I tried that before with Vists and it didn't work. It seems to have worked with Win7.
    I did a select all, deleted items from iTunes library but kept the files. I did all this with the hard drive disconnected. I went ahead and name the drive (m:) as you suggested. It works on two levels the drive is a My Book and contains my media.
    I'm not going to mark this as solved until I've had a few on-off cycles.
    Thanks again for the help!
