How do I get my old address book when creating a new profile?

For some reason my profile quit working on a Win7 computer. I can get my e-mails back but copying the abook.mab over doesn't recover my address book. How can I get my contacts back without having to enter them manually?

Were you using just Personal Address Book, or had you other user-defined address books?
I think you might need ''history.mab'' too (this represents Collected Addresses) and any user-defined address books would have names such as ''abook-1.mab'' and so forth.
But you'll need to import these user-defined address books, and the tool I know for doing this is

  • I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one?

    I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one? There are only a few of the contacts I had, so there must be a location where the rest are, but not sure where to look. And once I find them (with your help), how do I get them into the address book?

    If you copy abook.mab or history.mab into a profile folder, they will show up as Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses. But if the mab files have names other than abook or history, they can only be imported to TB with the use of [https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook].

  • How do I select multiple email address for a single person in my address book when creating a new email?

    I am coordinating a large group of people and created a group list of over one hunderd people.  The group is families and each person in the address book has several e-mail addresses. How do I select all the email address under each person in the address book so every family member recieves the e-mails?
    It appears I can select any ONE email address but selecting multiples from any one person is not allowed, why is that? Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.

    Not sure about this problem. But if you don't get an answer soon, go here which is the Mail forum for Leopard (which you listed in your sig).

  • How can i get my previous address book into my current email?

    I use to use road runner as my email but always so slow so I started using Hotmail, had lots of problems with Hotmail so I went back to using rr but I can't get my old address book, I access rr via Mozilla and I didn't before. I can open my previous rr and all the addresses are there but can't figure out how to get them into my new account.

    Export them from where ever they are, either as CSV or LDIF format.

    Hi Andrea, see if on your Mac you have this file & what size it is...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook.data.previous
    Or if in AB's File Menu you have Revert to AB Backup.

  • How can I get my old classic iPod library onto a new computer without losing either library? The songs on my iPod are from hundreds of CD's I don't want to re-import

    My original iPod has my old CD collection on it, hundreds of them painstakingly imported. Over the years, I have got new iPod, new iPhone, new computer, and run a separate iTunes library. But now I want my old collection on my computer. How can I get this old iPod music converged with my newer music and computer, without having to wipe out a library or lose any music?

    Hello jlfromcorona,
    Use the manual method of copying all the music from your iPod Classic, to your new Mac.  See this article for instructions.

  • How can I maintain the classification in UI when creating a new BP?

    SAP CRM 2007 (UI)
    Hi,
    In SAP GUI the classification can be maintained in tab “classification”.
    How can I maintain the classification in UI when creating a new BP?
    Thanks for your support.

    Hi Anand,
    thanks for your prompt answer.
    By default all ship-to-parties are assigned to classification “Customer”. How can we assign a different classification to ship-to-parties in UI? The view “Account classification” seems to be different from the tab “classification” in SAP GUI.

  • My mother just got an new ipad, first version.  How do I get her email address book to show on her ipad gmail?  Thanks

    My mother just purchased a new ipad, first version.  How do I get her gmail addess book to show on her ipad.  She can receive emails but cannot access her addrsss book to send an email.
    Thanks

    If she is using the mail app, there doesn't appear to be a way to sync contacts directly with gmail. You might see if there is a way to export to a Mac desktop and then to use iTunes to sync the contacts to the iPad. Otherwise the contacts will have to be manually added to the iPad. Another option would be to use gmail's web based mail. Her contacts should be available from there.

  • HT5624 I don't want Icloud.  I believe it drains the battery of my phone.  How do I get the old operating system back on my new iphone 4G?

    I just got a new upgrade iphone from a 3G to 4G.  My son updated the software with Icloud.  I do not like it, it drains my battery.  How do I get the old operating system back (without icloud).  Also, I don't know how to close an APP anymore and I think that could be draining my battery as well.  It doesn't work the same way when I doubled click and then touch the APP it doesn't give me a dash to close it up again.

    Apple does not support downgrading the iOS.
    As for icloud, go to   Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.
    As for battery drain... 
    Look through this...
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/
    Also, Settings>General>Background App Refresh:   turn off apps you don't want refreshing data - this can preserve battery life.
    Also try a reboot:  press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go.

    how do i get my old contacts and messages back since i updated my iphone software to newer version, since i did this i can not find my backed up iphone contacts / messages???

    Restore the phone to the backup you made of the device before you did the update. That is where the contacts and messages are.

  • Auto update of contact groups in Address Book when created on iphone?

    So, I'm OK with how to work with two phones on the one itunes account, with regard to contacts and calendars, but can I get Address Book to automatically add any new contacts created on each phone to the correct contact group?

    In iTunes, on the Info tab with the iPhone connected, there's a pop-up menu to choose the Address Book Group to which new contacts created on that phone are added. Check the box and select the proper group from the list.

  • How to generate an id for a vendor when create a new one?

    How to generate a new id for a new vendor when create the new vendor?

    Hi,
    For many account groups, there is no need to specify vendor number while creating a new vendor. They will take internal number assignment and you can leave this field blank.
    For external number assignment, you can assign you own number.
    If you are creating vendors through program, and you want your vendors in a particular format, you can use your own number ranges created through SNRO.

  • Help Get back old Address Book

    I recently had some type of virus sending out a link from my contact book through Yahoo!, but only while my computer was physically turned off. I read online other people having this problem deleted their address book to get rid of it. I did that assuming I could delete it, then sync from my Mac Address Book.
    Except it went the other way, now both are empty. I really want my address book on my Mac back as it linked BDays to Calendar and had photos of everyone.
    Can someone tell me how to do this? I tried going into Time Machine to before I deleted, but it did not work. I assume restoring the Address Book only restores the software not the data it held. Can I restore the data that was in the Address Book at a given point?
    I appreciate any help.

    On your first point I agree, I could have avoided this by simply backing up my Address book data - takes a few seconds and it was silly not to.
    On your second...It could very well be a coincidence that the email went out while the computer was turned off. It is a fact that an email went out (twice - 6 weeks apart) from my account to my entire Yahoo! contact list containing only a link to something malicious that luckily only one person clicked on and required their computer to be wiped. I promise you it does in fact exist. It was very much in my sent box and most friends replied immediately to let me know it happened.
    I am sure you see the idiocy in your comment that if it hasn't happened to you, or anyone you know - it doesn't exist.
    Anyway - it worked perfectly, I do appreciate your time. By chance do you know if there is some literature or a site that explains how the Sync works. What I mean is, for example, my wife and I both sync our calendar and contact lists through Mobile Me. If we both make changes between syncs, does it make both match the one that made the most recent change, or can you set up some type of master? I don't mind looking for the answer myself, but if you know a starting point I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks again.

  • How do I get my iphone Address Book contacts to a BB Torch

    hey guys - I am stuck!  I cant seem to get my contacts and calendar appointments from Iphone to my BB torch. Can anyone help me? 
    I am using 'ical' for calendar and 'address book' for contacts.  
    Thanks and regards,

    First off, you need to determine with Apple how you can extract or move to your Mac, the calendar events and Address Book contacts. I don't know how Apple provides for that.
    After you've done so, you can sync to the BlackBerry using the BlackBerry Desktop Software.
    Set the Configuration up in the Desktop Software to sync to your Mac's data.

  • How can I get my thunderbird address book to show up in alphabetical order by surname?

    When entering my email addresses in the address book they do not show up in alphabetical order by surname. What do I do to get it to do so?

    I have this same problem, but my Address Book doesn't stay sorted. I have to sort it on "Email" address first, then sort it on "Email". Then, and only then, can I find an email address. I have to do this EVERY time I send an email. After I return to Thunderbird, the email addresses are jumbled again.
