Find doubles function does not work in address book

I had about 40 doubles in address book.
I choose the function 'find doubles'
It didn't find the doubles so I had to remove them manually.
Has this happened to you?

  • Search option does not work in address book

    The search field (upper right corner of window) does not work in address book (version 4.0.5) of my friend's Power Book. I eliminated the possibility of a corrupt plist (preference) file by dragging them to the desktop and restarting but it still didn't help. Any other ideas?

    If searching in Spotlight works, I don’t know what could be the problem. You may try this:
    1. Open Address Book.
    2. As an extra safety measure, do File > Back up Address Book and save the backup wherever you wish.
    3. Go to Address Book > Preferences > vCard, set the vCard Format to 3.0 and check Export notes in vCards. Close the Preferences window when done.
    4. Select the All group in the main Address Book window and do File > Export Group vCard (the command should read “Export Group vCard”, not just “Export vCard”).
    5. Quit Address Book, Mail, and any other applications that might use Address Book for something. Or just quit all applications to be on the safe side.
    6. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ and trash any ABPerson.skIndex files you may see there. Open Address Book and check whether the problem is fixed.
    7. If the problem persists, quit Address Book again, in the Finder go to ~/Library/Application Support/, and move the entire AddressBook folder out of there, e.g. to the Desktop (to be deleted after fixing the problem and making sure you don’t miss anything).
    8. Open Address Book and try doing File > Revert to Address Book Backup to restore the backup you made in step 2. If the problem persists, repeat step 7 and this time try doing File > Import > vCards to import the cards exported in step 4.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • Search field does not work in Address Book

    Text typed into Address Book's search field just sits there. No hits, no response whatsoever.
    It used to work . . .
    Spotlight itself seems fine. It locates contacts in Address Book.
    I've rebuilt the Spotlight index.

    Same issue....for a couple of months now....starting to see enough of us that it is an issue. I've deleted plists, etc, etc. Anybody have any ideas? I have 1000+ names in my address book....

  • Palm Desk Top 6.2 Address Look Up Function Does Not Work In Windows 7

    I recently upgraded my desk top computer's operating system from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium.  I synchronize with a Palm Tx PDA.  HP PalmOS customer support Chat helped me work through a compatibility issue that was preventing display of Address, Calendar, Memo and To Do items on my desk top computer via the Palm Desk Top 6.2 application.  I now find that the address look up function does not work (although it worked fine when I was running Vista).  Without success, I tried running the repair tool as well as reloading the software (both overlay and clean reinstall).  I would appreciate any help or suggestions to fix?

    Whenever you post formatted text (such as query results) on this site, type these 6 characters:
    \(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.
    This is one of the many helpful things found in the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}
    Are the results above what you're getting with some existing query, or are they the results you want? 
    If those are your current results, post your query.  In that case, what are the results you want?  Do you want this?FIRST_NAME GRADE RNK

  • New iMac (10.9.4) & now my HP Photosmart 6520 "scan to computer" function does not work

    Recently upgraded to a new iMac running 10.9.4.  Printing works well from this computer and all other devices (iPad, iPhone, etc.).  However, the "scan to computer" function does not work.  In the "Scan" section of HP Utility when I click on "Scan to Computer" the error message reads "Scan to Computer Cannot Be Enabled. The software required for Scan to Computer could not be located on this computer. Please download and install the latest HP recommended software for your device from http://www.hp.com/support, and then try again.
    Of course I have done this... twice... still no luck.  Also ran Software Update and there was an update, but it made no difference.

    Yes, did all that... in order.  It did not resolve the problem.  However, I did find what appears to be the answer.  After re-installing the driver software DO NOT immediately follow the prescribed steps.  Instead, quit the installer, restart the Mac, and an Apple software update will appear after restart.  Install that software update, and even though the computer and software do not call for it, restart the Mac again.  Only then add the printer and follow the balance of the steps.  It works!   Thank you for your help.

  • Mail search function does not work after reinstalling

    Hello!
    I recently had to re-install Leopard on my MacBook Pro.
    I made a clean install so, I manually copied the Mail folder and preferences from my old home folder to the new one.
    All mails are present, and everything works great, apart from the fact that the search function does not work.
    I can search for new mails (that came after the reinstall) but the old ones "dont exist" as far as the mail.app goes.
    What can I do about it ?

    It would probably be easier to do the entire hard drive. The App Store also uses Spotlight, so updating it will help there also. It takes some time to re-index and your computer will/may run slower until it is done.
    Direct answer to your question is go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Then go to System Preferences/Spotlight per the linked article and in your user folder, select Library/Mail/V2.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • Mac Lion. Search function does not work in mails.

    Hello,
    I already wasted several hours trying to find solution for a problem which appeared with Lion, search function does not work, in mail at least.
    I was not using Leopard before and I am not a mac expert.
    (search function was already bad in the normal it was already bad in the normal 10.7 set up but at least it was working in mac mails).
    I tried reindexing via spotlight privacy settings (adding and removing HD) but does not work much better.
    I don't want to go to terminal, as as mentioned I don't know enough about mac to try this.
    What to do?
    Thanks,
    C.

    Anyone? Any ideas?

  • Crystal Report for VS2010 - The Go To Page function does not work

    When running a report into Crystal(VS2010), the Go To Page function does not work.  Typing in a page number and pressing Enter does not take you to that page.  The report remains on the current page. I'm not sure if there is suppose to be a button like the one in Crystal 8.5(VS2008).

    As long as you are using the CR assemblies for VS .NET, the viewer (Win) should look like this:
    Remember, the ActiveX viewer based on the Report Designer Component (RDC, referencing craxdrt.dll) is not supported in VS 2010.

    It may be that Spotlight hasn't completed indexing just yet - is there a dot (indicates busy) inside the magnifying icon top right?
    Also, check System Preferences/Spotlight to see what if any exclusions are configured, etc.

  • Firefox Find on Page does not work reliably in XML.

    I'm troubleshooting xml in firefox. I noticed that CTRL -F find on page does not work for finding strings "reliably".
    Sometimes it finds something and sometimes it doesn't.
    "Strings that are there"..
    You can find next, next, if it worked, but then if you find previous it will fail at some point.
    (View source, find on page) works though.. but not a native page.

    Make sure that "Match case" on the find bar (Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check mark.

    Hello Nina Izurin,
    While written for the iPhone, the troubleshooting below can help resolve issues with your iPad's camera, as well.
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
