Address Book 4.1.2 and Mac OS X
I just updated my Macbook Air to Snow Leopard and I cannot open my address book. I receive this error: You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X
You have Address Book 4.1.2
How can I fix this?
Thank you!
You did not happen to mention what you upgraded from, but what I would suggest you do is download the combo updater for 10.6.4. This will give you a full upgrade and it wont bother any of your other settings. Before doing the combo update repair permissions, then do your combo update
you can get the update here

When I try to open my Address Book from Finder, it says :You can't use this version with this version of Mac OS x. I have Address Book 5.0.3 and Mac OS X 10.7.5 What should I do to get my Address Book back???
Unless you deleted Address Book 6, or restored from a backup made before you upgraded to Lion, Address Book 6 should be on your disk somewhere. Try to find it with spotlight or by browsing likely folders with Finder. Also check Trash. If you find other Address Books, using Quick View or Get Info in Finder should show the version number.
Have you ever moved Address Book out of the Applications folder, either before or after you upgraded to Lion?
If you can't figure out how this happened in the first place, I would be worried that other OS X utilities are similarly affected. -
Address book different on iPhone and mac
I want the same address book on all of my devices and had that before my recent upgrade to lion, os5, and icloud. Now some contacts have vanished from my iPad and iPhone. I thought they were all supposed to synch?
first you should choose in Settings-->Mail, Contacts, Calendar-->Contacts, Sort Order and Display Order. You have the choice of First, Last or Last, First. This is how you prefer your contacts to appear on the iPhone Contacts app. Then you should do the same in the Mac by opening Address Book and going to Preferences. I would recommend that you use the same criteria on both.
That, of course, will be the settings for all your contacts. I have chosen First, Last for Display and Last, First for Sort Order. I particularly like that one which sorts by last names alphabetically but shows the first name first on the display but you should play around and find the order you like best.
For people like John and Mary Smith, even though their home number is the same, their cell phones and emails addresses may be different and I prefer to make a different contact card for each one and list the common phone number in both of them. If you do this and you have the same sort criteria in your Mac, there are likely to be less confusion. Just take care when you enter the details in every new contact card to put each name in the right place.
Hope this helps -
Once Mac address book synched from iphone and contacts deleted they won't resynch back
I have a problem and have spent hours researching but to no avail
1. I got a new iphone 4S and put in my mail info from yahoo, gmail and low and behold I had a contact list now in my phone. I thought, "I just love Apple!"
2. I spent all afternoon on my iphone updating my contact list with contact photos, birthdays and all the stuff I never put in on my email program or my MacPro Leopard mac addressbook.
3. With trepidation, I synched via usb with itunes my contacts and suddenly I had 3 (or more versions of my contacts on every site or device). To see what was going on (as I wasn't sure if my mac would erase iphone contacts or add to them etc) I tried putting a test contact "iphone test" on my phone, yahoo test on my yahoo account, and mac test contact on my laptop address book, and gmail test in my gmail's contacts, and synched again.... For the most part every test contact showed up everywhere (not yahoo test in gmail's account mind you)
4. GREAT I thought. I will just DELETE the contacts in the mac address book, yahoo, gmail accounts, fix my iphone duplicate contacts so I have one perfect set on the iphone and resynch and I should have my iphone contacts filling in all the right places (yahoo, gmail, and mac address book from the iphone) and they will all now be identical... SO WRONG!
5. None of the prior contacts would sync. Only new contacts will synch (ones that were never before synched, ie, a new iphone test contact WILL show up in my Mac address book but the other 100 won't (apparently the computer knows they were already synced or something.)
I am now left with all my contacts on my phone and none in my computer! I have synched in itunes about 10 times with "contacts" checked trying different settings for yahoo, gmail but no source will retake my iphone contacts now that it was synced and the mac address book deleted...
Can anyone help???Thanks for your timely response. I really appreciate the heads up on the My Contacts Backup App since when you have gone from 4 copies of contacts to one you are starting to feel insecure...
Unfortunately, after following this to a "T" (2x) no luck... The mac address book was empty to begin with so I added three new contacts, synched and then started from there...
I unchecked the sync box and synched. Deleted 2 of the 3 contacts and checked the "sync contacts"--all contacts (I have no groups). It synched without prompting me for a merge and the new single contact did not show up in the iphone... bummer. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.
SORRY, I ACCIDENTALLY GAVE MYSELF HELPFUL POINTS AND THEY WERE FOR RANDERS4.... -
Separate address book for my wife and I
I reently switched to Mac and this is driving me crazy. I would like to keep our computer under one user so we don't have to switch user profiles to access her address book or if I update and address in my book, it doesn't get updated in hers. But, when I go to address e-mails I don't want her huge list of names being auto-suggested and me having to sift through all of her addresses in order to find the people I want to address the email to. The question: Is there a way to keep all of our addresses in one address book (one user profile), but when I am logged into my mail, Mail knows to only look in MY address group for the email addresses I specify, instead of pulling up my wife's rediculous sized (and often unorganized) bunch of addresses. I don't want to accidentally slip up with the arrow keys and add one of her recipients to an outgoing email. Sometimes my wife's friends wouldn't appreciate emails that guys send to each other if you know what I mean...
Thanks for any help...and please tell me there is a way to separate my wifes email address book from mine...please tell me Mac thought of this.
PS I've tried the whole 2 user profiles thing and the idea of seperate address books for updating sake and other reasons, I'd like to try the single profile thing.I thought Mac would be better with their mail client than this.
But Mail has nothing to do with this at all. Address Book is a completely separate application, and it's that way for good reason; it's not merely a whim.
I can't imagine what Mac is thinking that if a family of 5 uses the family computer, that all 5 people's email addresses clog up the search for the person writing the email at the time.
Each user has a separate Address Book (and other applications like Mail and Safari) to keep that exact scenario from happening, as well as to keep people out of each other's accounts so things don't go missing, private emails aren't being read by overly curious people, and so your account doesn't get screwed up by someone else playing with things they shouldn't be touching.
Are there any third party apps or plugins I can download in order to tell Mail that when I am in my account to only search for the contacts in a certain group that I create?
Sorry, but there's no such things available. It would be impossible for your Mac to become sentient and know what you created versus someone else creating. -

I am transferring my mother's address book and mail etc to my computer from an external hard drive enclosure and am not able to open it due to this message: You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X. HELP! Is there a way to open her older applications and get the info out?
her email is in user>Library>Mail folder. Hopefully you've created another user on your Mac for your mother so she would have her own user Library.

I tried importing email addresses from gmail and now my address book is locked up and will not work. Do I need to delete my address book software and reinstall? If so, what is the proper way to do this? New to Macbook software. I have tried several things and nothing has helped. I have backed up photos, movies, etc. My addresses are on my iphone so I can sync them later right if I loose my data?
Thanks for your time and expertise,
T.You can probably resolve this by removing some Address Book preference files rather than deleting your Address Book application.
First turn off Synchronize in Address Book Preferences if you can.
Next restart Address Book and try to export everything to your Desktop.
I have had a play and found my Address Book preference files. In the following ~/Library is the Library within your Home folder. Any numerals may differ on your Mac. Quit Address Book before doing anything with these.
1 - Display details and things set in Address Book Preferences
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
2 - Has no data - not sure what this does
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
3 - Has last sync date - may have more if I used sync
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.AddressBook.sync.000393735c06.plist
4 - My contact details
/Library/Preferences/AddressBookMe.plist
5 - Individual addresses and groups stored as separate files within:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata
6 - All of these addresses are are also in this single database:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb
If you wish to remove all addresses drag both 5 & 6 to your Desktop.
If you wish to reset preferences drag 1 your Desktop.
Removing 3 may resolve sync issues but I am unable to test this.
If you wish to reset everything drag all except 4 to your desktop.

I hope this helps. -
My address book has been infiltrated and emails sent
I have an intel imac running on Snow Leopard. My address book has been infiltrated and emails sent without my knowledge. What can I do?
What leads you to believe this is happening?
If the indication of that is auto-messages indicating undeliverable email, messages you did not send, then you may be a victim of Sppfing instead.

"Home Page" Missing in New Card in Address Book 3.1.2 - and can't add field
i have been using Address Book for several years and 292 cards created. many of them have "home page" URL's that are accessible in Safari. brilliant. nice work Apple.
however, i have just tried to make a NEW CARD and find that no "home page" field is being offered for population. puzzling.
if i go to Card > Add Field > the dropdown presents all the possible default fields available. those that are currently in the card are greyed out, those that may be added are black and selectable.
Home Page is greyed out and unselectable despite it not being currently available in the new card i have just created and attempted to populate.
what the heck is going on here?? it has obviosly worked correctly in the past, i have at least 90 cards with URLs in them.Is it possible that you've altered the template so that home page is a default? (I.e., it's already on the card) That would cause it to gray out. I was just having a similar problem in trying to Add Field... and finally, the penny dropped that the field was already there, just not where I was looking.
I apologize if this seems obvious or dumb, but I'm reasonably bright and yet it wasn't obvious enough to keep me from hunting around for five minutes with furrowed brow.

My iPad is not updating calendar and address book. My iMac and iPhone are fine. What is wrong?

Reset the device. If it doesn't work try removing your account and adding it again. If that doesn't work then try restoring the device to factory settings by pluggin into iTunes and clicking "Restore".

Cannot print from Address Book! Print freezes and will not proceed.
I want to print an address list for Christmas cards. When I select the Group, select all and select Print I get the option box. I then select my printer and use the down arrow to open the dialog box that shows I am printing from Address Book and gives the different forms I can use (ie list, label, envelope) as well as the fields to include in the list. Once I have everything selected I click the Print radio button. All of the information under the Address Book options line disappears. Print remains highlighted and my printer Que never opens or appears. If I manually open the printer there is no print job showing. At this point the Address Book application is frozen. I cannot select cancel on the print dialog box (I can click it, but it does not highlight and it does not close the dialog box! In order to get out of this situation I have had to close Address Book. The quit option on the menu does work and Force Quit is unnecessary.
I actually spoke with AppleCare on this issue on Friday 05 Dec 2008. The tech I spoke with knew of no other such situations, but when I started checking on this discussion page I see a posting from REECO from clear back on 24 Sept 2008. His posting can be found at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8161605&tstart=0
The technician had me do several things. One was to pull my Caches folder out of my system Library folder. He also had me remove some Address Book preference items. The end result of these actions was a Mac Pro that would not boot! (The failure followed an Address Book crash with a "KERPROTECTIONFAILURE" and the message that some QualityMedia plugin might have created the problem!)(I could find no such plug in either on my system or via Google search!) The tech had asked me to boot to safe mode by booting while holding down the shift key untill the spinning gear appeared. The machine never progressed to a successful boot! I ended up having to use a 2nd hard drive and physically place it in internal slot 1 on my Mac Pro proceeding to reinstall Tiger! The bad news is that this did NOT solve my printing problem.
If I am attempting to print from a new install with just the Apple address card and the Owner's card in Address book the print proceeds fine. Once I import my data I am back to the same print failure.
Some diagnostic steps I have tried. I have tried USB local printers and bonjour printers. I have used Epson and Canon printers. I have tried to print to a PDF. I have tried printing from another computer (12 inch PowerBook) with identical results!
At this point I am going to call AppleCare Monday morning and see if anyone there has any more suggestions. Any suggestions this forum has will be received gratefully!I was having the same crash or "just not print" problem as seen in other posts. I was able to fix it however, by making changes in some of the address cards I was going to print. By editing the "parent", "child", "spouse" fields which will get added to the name line of the label, I was able to get labels to print (or pdf preview) without difficulty.
I did not try and determine exactly what the problem was, but basically did a data cleanup. Since I didn't know that those fields would print, I had previously included information beyond just a name in the fields, like birthdates and such, eg. "Jimmy - 12/1/05". After either removing the fields entirely where I didn't really need them, or just cleaning them down to names only, they printed just fine. I'd considered trying to disable the feature entirely but the data cleanup was not hard for a dozen or so names. -
Everything worked fine prior to the installation. I am aware of bug issues that people are reporting with regard to no applications working and strange error messages. My MacBook Air is fine; my wife's MacBook is fine. It's my iMac 12,1 that isn't.
It is an enormous crash report error rather than a short message. Both Address Book and Mail crash. I restored my iMac to pre-10.7.3 and everything worked fine once more. I downloaded and installed 10.7.3 as a combo a short while ago and the crash report for Address Book and Mail once more returned.

My iPhone 4S won't sync with Address Book or iCal on my Mac
My iPhone 4S is full of events on my Calendar and contacts in my Contacts app. They sync nicely with iCloud, so I can access them online.
However, I'd also like to sync them with iCal (4.04) and Address Book on my Mac (10.6.8). Both iCal and Address book only give me the option to sync with MobileMe, which doesn't exist anymore. I can't login to MobileMe on those two applications with my iCloud address either.
iTunes gives me the option to overwrite the data on my iPhone with that on my Mac. I don't want that; I want to overwrite the data on my Mac with that on my iPhone.
Do I need to upgrade to Lion to get these older applications on my Mac to play nice with iCloud?
Any solutions?You must be on OS X 10.7 in order to use iCloud.
OS X 10.7 (Lion) is available in the App Store as a digital download. It is $29. Best practice - be sure to make a backup copy of your computer before upgrading any software.
After you download and install 10.7 Lion, you will have an iCloud icon in System Preferences. -
Well I was following some instructions on possibly syncing the Mac Address Book with Google and its created havoc. I dont know if the instructions might have been for a previous OS or what. I originally was looking for ways to sync the Address Book with Gmail for an Android Phone...but for now, I just exported the Address Book to Gmail and will deal with new contacts as they come.
But what these instructions told me to do was to go to Address Book/Preferences/Accounts and check Synchronize with Google....Now Im not sure if thats what I want or what exactly that will do. (Since I already had exported my Address Book contacts to Gmail, the Google contacts should be the same as the Mac ones...but I got an error of 25 changes so I didnt want it to synchronize and tried to cancel it.)
I keep unchecking the box where it says Synchronize with Google but somehow it keeps getting checked again automatically. Every now and then a SYNC CONTACTS pop up comes up - and I dont know what to do because it doesnt give me an option to CANCEL ...It just says sync now or sync later...Again it tells me it has found 25 differences...which I find impossible (and when I check 'see details' - it seems like theyre the exact same contacts)...After the popup comes up, I check the Address Book and that sync with Google magically gets checked again -even though I keep unchecking it.
I dont know what to do ! Everything I find in forums talks about deleting mobileme or isync but I dont have and never have used any of those things. The forums said to delete isync from your Applications folder, but I dont have it there.
Any ideas? I just want to stop the popups!See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword%2eURL (pref:''' keyword.URL''')
