Contact Modify & Create Date not displayed in Address Book

I use the create & modify date a lot in Microsoft Outlook's contacts.  Although those fields are supported and updated by the Apple Adderess Book, I can't see a way to display or sort on those in the Apple Address Book.

After several days of trying, i finally seem to have it working. What i ended up doing was exporting my backing up my addresses on another computer that still had Snow Leopard on it. I exported both as .abbu and vCards. I was then able to get the vCards into iCloud.
Problem was, i could not get them to import into Contacts in Mavericks. I could not even add the iCloud account to contacts. It would let me sign in and choose contacts, but iCloud never showed up in the accounts nor did the contacts show up in Contacts.
After trying repairing permissions and resetting the PRAM to no avail, it occured to me to delete the Address Book folder from /Library/Application Support
Once that folder was gone, i was able to add iCloud to the accounts and import the .abbu file from Address Book.
So if you did not export your Address Book contacts before updating, you will need a second computer that is still running Snow Leopard to export the contacts. Then you can delete the Address Book folder from the Library and you should then be able to import the contacts into Contacts on Mavericks.
Hope this helps.

  • Updating Contact info from Mail not displaying in Address Book

    So I was updating an existing contact from Mail using the data detector feature. Address Book was already running in background. I clicked on the data detector and said "update existing contact". I pick the contact that I want to update. When I go to address book to see if the contact was updated, it "appears" that it hadn't updated. However, if I exit address book and restart the data does appear. So it get's in the database but doesn't display until exit and restart.

  • My phone will not display my address book !

    My Blackberry 8900 will not display my address book. The addresses are there and on the sim card, but I can not get them to be displayed on the phone. I have tried copying them but does not seem to work. What do I do.  Thanks in advance for all your help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Are the contacts in your BlackBerry Address Book AND on your SIM card?
    Or ONLY on your SIM card?
    Open your Address Book, press the Menu key then click on Filters, and make sure no Filters are checked.
    Now, look in the Address Book again.
    Anything?
    If not, please give some detail of your situation.

  • Contact not displayed in address book but appears in mail merge list

    Using Outlook 2013 to do a mail merge. Items in address book updated - some deleted, edited, etc. - appear correctly in Outlook. Using the import/export function in Outlook or the mail merge wizard in Word 2013 produce the same list of names - no deletes
    or edits that were made in Outlook. Some items in Outlook were missing. I've tried adding them which appears to work but they do not show up in Outlook. Could there be 2 files?

    Yes. I've deleted ALL contacts and resync'ed. I've deleted the number from both Google Contacts and the iPhone. I've tried adding just from Google Contacts and I've tried just adding on the iPhone. I've tried the number with the 1, without the 1, etc.

  • "create or select an existing address book contact to represent your data"

    After upgrading the firmware on my Storm, everything seems to be back to the "stupidphone" state, like it just came out of the box.
    I had no idea that would happen; no warning, etc. Trying to send a Blackberry Messenger text to a contact, I now discover I have to scroll through a bunch of EULAs ... probably for every little thing on the phone, from the looks of it.
    I'm trying to get back the Blackberry Messenger contacts I had.
    I have no screen name anymore ... reset that ... OK [grumble grumble].
    No Blackberry contacts. The backup in Blackberry Desktop Manger adds ... nothing.
    So, obviously, the Desktop software is useless, as I did back up everything before I did the update.
    There is some babbling on the screen about some other undefined backup option. When I try to enable that, it says:
    "create or select an existing address book contact to represent your data."
    "Represent"? What in the world do you mean by "represent"?
    And what kind of contact should I be selecting? Some random fool? Myself? Can't Blackberry figure out I want this backed up to something I control?
    Please explain EXACTLY what this "dance around the concept" babbling means. I propose we try the English language.
    Also, how do I get my Blackberry Messenger contacts back?

    1. You only have to accept the EULA once.

    No Blackberry contacts. The backup in Blackberry Desktop Manger adds ... nothing.
    2. That's of no help to anyone who might want to assist you. "Nothing" is correct.
    What does happen? You go to Backup/Restore > Advanced... and what? You do nothing?
    Try over the left hand pane > File > Open > Select your most recent BlackBerry Messenger contact database and restoring it.
    Did you ever backup your BBM contacts OTA or to your Media Card?

  • Data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts do not match.

    The data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts are different. How can I get my iCloud data to accruately reflect that of my iMac address book? It appears to be an initial synchronization issue. New entries synchronize fine. Appears that initial entries in my Address Book are not showing up in the iCloud Contacts list. Hense, My iPhone coantacts don't match those in my iMac.
    Is there a way to clean out my iCloud contacts on reload/re-sychronize it with my iMac Address Book?

    Nuts isn't it. This seems to have been an issue snce dAY 1.  iT FROSTS ME THAT THERE IS NO SIMPLE QUICK WAY TO UPDATE OR CORRECT the data in both programs simultaneously.. Thats why i decided to just put everytning into the i cloud address brook, and let the one other sit and rot.
    then i got smart and said, why don't I delete the outlookaddress book files. and save on confusion.
    result - both addresses books  and their contents became invisible to outlook.!!!!!! and I can find no way to correct this...to go back to the imperfect world that was.
    I did get the outlook contact s back from an archive - but any thing from icloud has become inaccessible from outlook.  (fortunately i can get the vcard infformation directly from icloud. but I can't access it from outlook mail.... means no replying, forwarding etc - and a time swallowing nuisance..

  • Photoshop CC on Windows 7 is saving the file "date" as the created date not the modified date

    I have been using a much older version of PS (CS2) and just decided to update to PS CC. I have installed the trial version of PS CC and will begin the CC subscription as soon as the trial expires.
    I have noticed that PS CC saves the (main) date of the files as the "created date" not the "modified date" as it pertains to Windows Explorer and the Windows OS.
    Here is what is happening: I have a file that I created in 2007 that I use for a template. It is sized to specific dimensions, etc. and when I do my save as, it automatically saves into the desired file folder, so that's why I use this as a template. I setup a new photo and then drag and drop it into my template, flatten the image and save as. When doing this with PS CS2, the date for the newly saved file was assigned as the modified date (current date and time). So, when I searched for the file in Windows Explorer or when I went to open the file, the date shown for the file was the modified date. NOW, with PS CC when I perform the exact same process and do a save as, the file date shown in Windows Explorer and/or when I go to open the file is showing as the created date (3/9/2007), the date that I created and saved the template I use. This is aggravating to me because now when I want to open a file and sort by date, the date shown in Windows Explorer is not accurate. As far as I can tell, this only happens in PS CC. When I open an old file with ID CC and do a save as, it applies the current date, not the created date. And, when I was using PS CS2, whenever I did a save as the current date was applied as well.
    In summary, when performing a save as, the created date is being applied as the main date instead of the modified date. The question is: Is there a way to change this so that the modified date can be applied as the main date for the file when performing a save as?

    Below are two files created the exact same way on the exact same computer: the top one was saved in PS CS2 and the bottom one was saved in PS CC. Both were saved using the "Save As" command. You will notice that when the "Save As" command was used in CS2 it updated the "Created:" date, however, in the CC version the "Created:" date was not updated, only the "Modified:" date was updated. Is there a way to update the "Created:" date when performing a "Save As" in PS CC?

  • Contact information not showing in address book

    Migrated from Snow Leopard to Mavericks and the address book shows no contacts. The data appears to have been correctly imported into my user folder > library > application support > address book folder (but the icons show up as "Unix / Terminal" not "blank").
    I've run permission repair and daily / weekly / monthly maintenance routines to no avail.
    Any suggestions?

    After several days of trying, i finally seem to have it working. What i ended up doing was exporting my backing up my addresses on another computer that still had Snow Leopard on it. I exported both as .abbu and vCards. I was then able to get the vCards into iCloud.

  • Palm contacts do not sync with address book

    Contact data from my Palm Tungsten does not sync with Address Book. I am running the latest Palm OS and Desktop with iSync 1.5 and Panther OS 10.3.9. Calendar is syncing correctly. According to the log, iSync thinks that the Address Book is also working but no data gets transferred in either directon. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Hi,
    i also used iSync for a long time with my Tungsten. BUT(!) iSync is very poor! I learned to know MissingSync and this is a really cool App! Now i have categories in my calender after syncing with my Titanium, i have all adresses and there are a lot of more cool features. Look here:

  • I would like to add a new card date field to my address Book Contacts. Is this possible? Thanks, Jeff

    Hi,
    I would like to add a new card date field to my Address Book Contacts. Is there any way to do this? I have a lot of contacts and it helps me remember who I talked to, if I had a new card date field in my contacts.
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    I found the applescript below from Michael Bach that works well.
    (* Find recently modified entries in the Address Book
    Input: a time interval (backwards from today) in the variable "daysBeforeToday"
    Output: a string on the clipboard, format: YYYY-MM-DD (tab) Name (return)
    ©2009, Michael Bach, <www.michaelbach.de> *)
    set daysBeforeToday to 7 -- <<<  change as desired or read from a dialog
    tell application "Address Book"
      copy (current date) - daysBeforeToday * 24 * minutes * 60 to referenceDate
      copy (every person whose (modification date > referenceDate)) to modifiedPersons
      set s to ""
      repeat with aPerson in modifiedPersons
        set d to ((modification date) of aPerson) -- now change to international format and forget the hours
        set dateString to (year of d as string) & "-" & (my twoDigits((month of d) as number)) & "-" & (my twoDigits(day of d) as string)
        set s to s & dateString & tab & (name of aPerson) & return
      end repeat
      set the clipboard to s --for pasting into other applications
      s -- to view immediately in the script editor
    end tell
    on twoDigits(aNumber) -- trivial utility for formatting
      if aNumber < 10 then return "0" & (aNumber as string)
      return (aNumber as string)
    end twoDigits
    I changed the modification date to creation date.
    Thanks for the replies.

  • I am trying to create a group in the address book.  When I drag over the contacts from the contact list they duplicate in the address book. I am using "Lion"

    When I try to create a group from the address book, when I drag over the names from the contact list, the names duplicate in the address book.

    Hi cavu10horses,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has instructions for changing a contact's photo using a photo from iPhoto's Faces feature:
    Contacts: Add or change contact pictures
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11580
    Select a contact or your own card, and then double-click the picture well.
    Select a picture:
    Drag an image to the picture well.
    Click Camera to take a picture.
    If you have pictures in iPhoto, click the Faces button to use a face from iPhoto.
    If the contact is linked (it’s in multiple accounts, but displayed only once in Contacts) and has multiple account pictures, click Linked.
    Click Edit to edit the picture.
    To zoom in and out of the picture, drag the slider. Drag the picture to change which part of it is visible.
    To rotate the picture, hold down the Option key while you click and drag the picture.
    To apply special effects, click the Effects Gallery button and choose an effect.
    Click Done.
    Cheers,

  • Why does Lion KEEP reversing changes you make in address book and other applications without your consent and without wanting it to??? Plus address book will NOT import old address book contacts from Snow Lepoard 10.6 and keep them.  This Lion OXS 7 is ..

    Why does Lion KEEP reversing changes you make in address book and other applications without your consent and without wanting it to??? Plus address book will NOT import old address book contacts from Snow Lepoard 10.6 and keep them.  This Lion OXS 7 is .. becoming very frustrating ... it will NOT keep changes made in the Address Book and it has destroyed my contacts which I only have electronically since 10.4 in my address book. I am NOT happy with this OS7 it has a lot of issues and faults.  How can one stop automatic reversing of data when inputting???
    Please help! 
    Wished I NEVER upgraded to this Lion!!!

    Relax. Your address book database is corrupted.
    If you are syncing your Contacts with MobileMe or something else, disable it for now.
    Backup your address book by going to File>Export>Address Book Archive.
    Quit Address Book.
    Open your Library by holding down the Option (alt) key while selecting the Go menu in Finder. Select Library. Navigate into your Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the addressbook-v22.abcddb file.
    Open Address Book. It will recreate the database from the raw data.
    See how that works. If it is ok, then reenable syncing and see how that works.

  • Synchronized Contacts do not appear in Address Book

    Hello,
    I have OS 10.6.6, iSync 3.1, Address Book 5.0.3 and a NOKIA 6500c Phone. I successfully installed the plugin for the Nokia (at least it seems like it, the phone is recognized).
    I have like 6 contact in Address Book and like 150 on Phone. When I do the "first time" sync I chose "merge" phone and computer. When doing the sync, on the phone display a status bar appears and it says x/150 synchronized, as should be, and within a few seconds its done. But the contacts do not appear in Address Book. I've tried this a few times after resetting the syncing settings and everytime I do the first time sync, it appears to work, but nothing appears in Address Book.
    Funny is: If I change the phone number of one of the existing 6 entries, that I have in my AddressBook on computer, on the phone, the change is synchronized to the computer. But no new entries are entered on the computer.
    What am I missing?
    Thank you!

    There should be an option within the phones menus somewhere.
    I think its something like choose Edit on a contact and change the *Store to* option to phone
    Or, it may be something like this:

    The phone's manual may help.

  • I deleted a contact from my address book but when I go into text message it is still there. How do I fully delete this contact? It is only in my text messages not in my address book.

    I deleted a contact from my address book but when I go into text message it is still there. How do I fully delete this contact? It is only in my text messages not in my address book.

    I don't believe there's much you can do about it...have a look at the "More Like This" pane on the right side of this page.
    One way though to eliminate the issue (although not a very good way) is to restore the phone as new.

  • Favorite contact not found in Address Book

    My brother is starred as a favorite contact in my contacts list but his name/nor contact information can be found in my address book...Also another problem I have recently found is my neighbors contact information is missing although I can recieved text messages from him and his name appears along side with the text message.....Any suggestions?

    After several days of trying, i finally seem to have it working. What i ended up doing was exporting my backing up my addresses on another computer that still had Snow Leopard on it. I exported both as .abbu and vCards. I was then able to get the vCards into iCloud.
    Problem was, i could not get them to import into Contacts in Mavericks. I could not even add the iCloud account to contacts. It would let me sign in and choose contacts, but iCloud never showed up in the accounts nor did the contacts show up in Contacts.
    After trying repairing permissions and resetting the PRAM to no avail, it occured to me to delete the Address Book folder from /Library/Application Support
    Once that folder was gone, i was able to add iCloud to the accounts and import the .abbu file from Address Book.
    So if you did not export your Address Book contacts before updating, you will need a second computer that is still running Snow Leopard to export the contacts. Then you can delete the Address Book folder from the Library and you should then be able to import the contacts into Contacts on Mavericks.
    Hope this helps.
