Accessing address book contacts from safari 'bookmarks'

hey
i'm only seeing 5 contacts when i click the address book tab in the safari bookmarks bar...but i should be seeing 512...
i have reset safari, verified permissions, cleared cache, re-booted, all with no change...
any ideas?
THANKS

i think what happened was a sync between my BlackBerry and the mac must have knocked out that information (somehow) hence the balls up.
Hi William
Clarification: Are you saying these web entries are not in your BlackBerry? If so, are you saying when you synched with the Address Book, the web field was overwritten by the BlackBerry, hence, deleting the entries from the Address Book?

  • Access Address Book data from terminal

    Hi everyone,
    I was wondering if there is a way to access Address Book data from the terminal. For instance, I would
    need a command that would output an address of a given person.
    Thanks in advance for your input

    this script could be used in Terminal (save the code below as
    "getaddress" and mark it as executable):
    case $# in
    2) firstname=$1; lastname=$2;;
    *) echo 'Usage: getaddress <firstname> <lastname>' 1>&2; exit 1 ;;
    esac
    count=`osascript -e "tell application \"Address Book\" to count (people whose first name is \"${firstname}\" and last name is \"${lastname}\")"`
    case $count in
    0) echo "$firstname $lastname is not in Address Book." 1>&2; exit 1;;
    1) ;;
    *) echo "There are multiple entries for $firstname $lastname in Address Book (unhandled error)." 1>&2; exit 1;;
    esac
    osascript -e "tell application \"Address Book\" to get formatted address of address of first person whose first name is \"${firstname}\" and last name is \"${lastname}\""

    only way is to restore the phone as new.  OR wait until IOS 7 comes out in the fall.

    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.

  • HT1692 Can I transfer my address book /contacts from a lap top using windows vista to my iPad mini

    Can I transfer my address book/contacts from a laptop with windows vista to my iPad mini?

    To sync from windows things like Contacts, Calendars, and Mail you would need to have Outlook on the computer 2003, 2007, or 2010.  This article might help you out if your setting it up for the first time. Hope it helps.

  • Moving Address Book contacts from laptop to desktop

    I was doing some updating of my Address Book contacts this afternoon when the program majorly crashed, and then lost every single contact that was in there....
    Luckily, I have another copy on my laptop. I'm just not sure now how to get the data from my laptop back to my desktop. I have done the following:
    - attached the two computers with Firewire
    - moved the folder myusername/library/applicationsupport/addressbook from the laptop to the same place on the desktop.
    This seemed to be recommended in another thread, but it's not working for me - when I open Address Book in my desktop again, it's still empty. Can anyone tell me what I should do next (short of typing all the addresses back in again by hand)?

    Did you check the Permissions on that folder & contents after you moved it?
    Did you Verify & Repair if needed the HD on the Desktop first?

  • Cannot Synch Address Book Contacts from Mac OS to iPod

    I have current software, and a video ipod. I am unable to synch my contacts. When I try, the message is that I have not created any contacts in my address book and would I like to create some now....I do have Address Book contacts and cannot find an answer relating to using a MAC OS system (10.4.9) - they all seem to relate to windows problems. Everything else on my ipod synchs just fine.
    Please someone out there - any help?

    the easiest is to open AB on G3, select all contacts and drag them to the desktop. that will create one big vcard with all contacts. move it to the mac book and drop it onto AB there.

  • How do I export my Mac address book contacts from OS 10.10 to Excel

    How do I export my Mac address book contacts to an excel spreadsheet?

    Sorry, forgot to test it when I had 10.6 available.
    I don't know that they're interchangeable, but it seems the relevant files & folders are...
    For Address Book, quit AB...
    Files...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
    Folders...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/
    So back those up if you try replacing them, and of course Permissions may or may not need adjusting on the swap.

  • Cannot access address book contacts in yahoo mail. Firefox 4. Contacts list will not load. With Windows Explorer, no problem.

    Recently, yahoo mail upgraded their program. When I try to access my contacts (address book) the contacts list won't load. The little spinning icon just keeps spinning. I think this is a Firefox problem because Internet Explorer works okay. Also, I have problems accessing some secure sites using Firefox 4, but not with Explorer. I prefer Firefox. How can I resolve this?

    I have no access to my Yahoo contacts. I cannot search or browse them. The only way I can get ONE is by adding the contact from an email. Then, if I ask to see more contacts either through the partial alphabet buttons or to see the entire list of contacts, I'm back to the same search page where NOTHING happens. Did I say this is VERY frustrating?? HELP

  • Protecting Address Book Contacts From Spammers

    A photographer friend has sent out an email announcing his new website to everyone I know. Family, friends, work associates. How was he able to gain access to my contacts? Through Mail, Address Book MobileMe or something else? Did he use some sort of Trojan Horse via an email I responded to that stole all my contacts? And how do I protect myself and prevent this from happening again?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How can I access Address Book data from an older version of the application to transfer it to a newer version of Mac OS running on a second hard drive on the same MDD G4?

    I installed a hard drive from one PowerPC Dual 1.25 GHz MDD into another one with an older version of the OS X.  all my Address Book data are on the older hard drive, from which I now boot the computer.  When I launch Address Book as an app on the hard drive with the newer version of the OS, I get an error message that says I cannot run the version of Address Book from the older hard drive on the newer OS.  How can I access the data on the older hard drive version of the Address Book app so that I can transfer it to the newer version of the app on the boot drive?  The "Import" functionality will not work. I will be grateful for any help I can get.  I would also like to uninstall the older version of OS X from the older hard drive.

    Boot from the older version of OSX, then in AB use the File>Export>Export vCard after selecting all in AB.
    Then boot from the new OSx & use the new AB to import that VCF file.

  • How can I import address book contacts from 10.2 to 10.6?

    I have an uncle who recently had a computer with 10.2 that crashed.  I recovered all his files.  His new computer is now at 10.5 or 6, and will not import old contacts from 10.2.  Anyone know how I can import them?

    Exporting vCards from Address Book partially preserves group information - it puts it in the notes field as Categories, which is not very useful. I suggest you export one group at a time. I don't think you can import directly into a group, so create a group, import the cards for that group, then select all the cards in the "Last Import" pseudo-group and drag them to the appropriate group.
    If some of your contacts are in multiple groups the duplicates will be spotted on import. Unless you have hundreds of groups it should not be to much of a pain. Otherwise look at Gwenhiver.net - Applications - Address Book Exporter - it may preserve groups on re-import (but I don't know).

  • Accessing Address Book Remotely from PC

    I want to access/update my address book (on a Mac at home) from work (on a PC). Can this be done?

    Short answer has to be no.
    Longer - well, I suppose you could mount your Mac hard disk (using SMB?) on the Windows PC, which would let you see the address book data file - but that isn't going to be readable by a Windows program. You could consider running a Mac emulator on your windows machine, and so run Address Book, but you would still have the problem of persuading AB to look for its data file on the remote Mac rather than the local emulated one. You could go for more complicated(!!) solutions - run an app on the mac that would respond to messages from the PC, to retrieve or modify AB data. You could probaly even set up a web application on the mac to simplify it. But is it worth the effort?
    What are you trying to do?

  • How To Move Address Book Contacts From An Earlier Mac To An IMac?

    I am having zero luck trying to move the multitude of contacts from address books on a G4 (won't open at all with my new IMac) and an Intel MacBook Pro (will open on the PB Pro but I can't copy it or its contracts to disk) to my new IMac with Snow Leopard. Can it be done? Can these records be exported and brought to my IMac for importing? If so, how, preferably in bulk?
    I am going to try to put my Address Book from my G4 back on a G4 (where it will open) and see if I can export any files in bulk, to put on a CD and copy to my IMac for the next step, whatever it may be.
    Anybody have any suggestions how to export and move these records in bulk??? Thanks!

    Greetings Gina,
    If there are no pre-existing contacts in the Addressbook on the computers you are moving your original addressbook to, then you can use the File > Export > Addressbook Archive feature. This will create a self contained copy of all your Addressbook contents. Take this file (Email it, thumb drive it, burn it to a CD, put it on your iDisk, File Share it, etc. etc. etc) to whatever computer you want the addressbook on and simply double-click. It will overwrite (erase) the current Addressbook contents and put your original addressbook in it's place. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/5.0/en/9158.html
    If you DO have addressbook contacts on the other computers that you do not wish to erase then highlight all the contacts in the original addressbook and choose File > Export > vCard. This will make a group vCard of all the contacts. Then take that to the new computers and double-click. This will add all the contacts in. Keep in mind if you already have some of these contacts in your addressbook you will need to get rid of them by going to Card > Look for duplicates and either deleting them or merging them. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/5.0/en/9160.html
    You could also sync the Addressbooks across all the computers using MobileMe if you are a MobileMe member. However I think the export / import options I mention above would be quicker and cleaner if this is your first time moving the information over. http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/ (click on the sync section)
    Hope that helps.
