Address Book App Gone But Addresses Still Usable

I sync my Entourage with my apple addressbook so that all contacts are in Addressbook. I seldom ever open addressbook. Today I wanted to export some Vcards and went to the application folder and the addressbook was not there. My Entourage program is linked to an addressbook file in my user library and all the addresses appear to be visible through entourage.
So how do I get the address book app back? I have another addressbook on a second mac I have, can I just drag it over my network and put it in my apps file or will that write over the existing database?

Well I dragged the address book application from another computer on my network to my application file. All the addresses that Entourage is using can now be seen in the Addressbook I dragged over.

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or at your local authorized repair center.

  • Original file gone, but iPhoto still shows preview

    I have lost the original files but can still see previews when I look in the Last 12 Months import tab. I've tried to drag one to the desktop but I get an error that says, "Couldn’t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." I have upgraded from iLife 06 before losing the original files. Is there a way to get these back?

    It sounds like a corrupt library
    If you do not have a current backup of the library6.iphoto file to restore then Rebuild your library - quit iPhoto, backup your iphoto library and launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and rebuild
    if that does not work download iPhoto library manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and use its rebuild function
    If that does not work you will need to create a new library - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library to the desktop (it's default location is in your pictures folder), launch iPhoto and create a new library, make sure the preference to split items imported from the finder is unchecked, and open the iPhoto library on your desktop and open the originals folder - drag each folder in the originals folder onto the iPhoto icon in the dock - this will retain your events without edits, keywords and projects

  • All Mobile Apps gone from iTunes - Still on mobile devices.

    When installing Lion and Cloud the other day the Cloud folks at Apple took me through a laborious provess of changing my Apple ID. Hours on the phone.
    For many years my Apple ID has been my everyday email address .... now I was being told I must change it and create a new me.com account. I refused because I already  had a me.com account and wanted to use that. This took a bunch of hours on the phone to get my mobile devices cloud synching with my current me.com account rather than having some wild new yet another me.com  account and Apple ID. All got in sync finally ... that is my calendars, notes, and contacts.
    So, now I acquire an app using iTunes on the computer. All my Apps are now missing in iTunes and the new one is dimmed in iTunes and does not sync to my Mobile device. Obviously, even though Apple said different ID's was OK and.would not affect anything... I believe having 2 Apple ID's is the root of this problem.... maybe not.
    My store Mac purchases still, I believe, uses my original ID as does my music. Having to create multiple ID's ts not new. Several years ago when iTunes was relatively new I was asked to create another Apple ID for the iTunes Store and the 2 ID's raised havock placing song purchases here and there... it took months to get that corrected. So, I screamed when told I again had to change my devices to a second, me.com Apple ID... having one for some things another for others. That's a catastrophy waiting to happen... if ever there was one.
    So... apps are acquired.... they remain dim in iTunes and all my apps in iTunes are gone. They all remain on my mobile devices.
    I will not give up my domain name email address I have used for years and years... and should not have too! I'm sure others want to reatain their domain mane email addresses for daily use as well.

    Well I feel like a real idiot because I just realized my problem is that Applications was no longer checked in my Preferences to Show. For some reason the update unchecked it, plus it wants to run the Setup every time I start now.
    But at least my Apps are there.
    I do have the manual, btw. Thanks.

  • Data on 4 of 5 calendars disappeared. Apple support could not help either on phone or in person at store.  I thought the info was backed up, but it was not.  The data is gone, but I still wonder what happened.

    Data on 4 of 5 calendars on ical covering dates from 1/1/2013 through 1/22/2014 simply disappeared.  Apple support could not offer an explanation, after two hours on the phone, and over an hour at the Apple store (genius bar).  I thought the data was backed up, but data for the same dates was also missing from my external hard drive.
    All the information prior to 1/1/2013 and after 1/22/2014 still exists, along with dates into the future.  The missing data apparently no longer exists anywhere, but I am curious as to what may have happened, and is there something I can do to prevent it from happening again.  Backing up on an external hard drive is obviously not the answer.

    Have you tried resetting Calendars in iCloud ?
    If not, open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Calendars then reselect it.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data if it can.

  • Macbook pro(intel based) all apps hang but mouse still work

    My Macbook Pro(intel) running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.1 has started hanging after the last OS upgrade.  All apps stop responding but the mouse pointer contines to function, though mouse click doesn't respond as all apps are not responding.
    Any ideas or suggestion?

    Yes, I have this problem as well. Although it only happens once I have resumed the computer from standby/sleep mode.
    I haven't contacted Apple yet as it has only happened again recently and I put the first time down to a once off. I really hope this is not a hardware issue as I am already suffering from airport related kernel panics.
    Anyway, from browsing the internet somebody mentioned that disabling "accidental input" in System Preferences/Keyboard & Mouse may solve the problem. I have done that and it hasn't happened again yet. Although, this is not an ideal solution.
    Please let me know if you hear of any developments. I was hoping that switching to Mac might get rid of all my computer troubles (previously XP) but all I've had is problem after problem .

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

  • Is there a moving picture book app scam and virus?

    I purchased moving picture book app (free) but then they advertised several books and purchased several to download.  I was charged through ITunes as an in app purchase but then the books never downloaded and when a couple of them did, the screen was blank.  I tried to report the problem but cannot select the purchase to report a problem.  I don't know what happened.  I read several reviews and others have experienced this.  I sent an email to ITunes support but have not received any email back.  What can I do?  The books apps were supposed to be for my child who has autism.  We felt we've been cheated.

    Thanks MRLoon for your reply. I've read the adverts and saw the preview and that's why I decided to purchase the apps but I was unable to play any of the three apps that I downloaded.  I purchased 16 total thinking they would download immediately.  But after trying to download the first three and got nothing, I stopped.  I've already sent an email to the moving picture books app support team five days ago and have not received any feedback or reply.  If you are truly one of the owners, have your support team reply to my email.  I'll send another one today. And please have your people check to see if the current app is compatible with IOS 5. Is there a better working contact number or email for Moving Picture Books app?  Again, I appreciate your reply and any assistance you may provide.  I hope your nephew is doing well.

  • Hi..I have just recently got an iPhone and I had installed some apps already but now when I try to install and download any apps it just sits there on "waiting" and will not download.. Im able to erase it but no apps will download now. What Do I do?

    Hi..I have just recently got an iPhone and I had installed some apps already but now when I try to install and download any apps it just sits there on "waiting" and will not download.. Im able to erase it but no apps will download now. I have tried logging out of the app store but it still did the same thing. I also tried resetting it and that didn't work either. I've tried everything I can think of but still just sits there saying "waiting." what do I do?

    - Maybe here:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting
    - Try redownloading the app directly to the iPod by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • TS1702 I LOST CONTENT WITHIN AN ADDRESS BOOK APP, THE APP WAS REGULARLY BACKED UP, I REMOVED THE APP FRONM MY IPHONE AND SYNCED IT BACK IN .THE APP SYNCED OK BUT THE CONTENT IS STILL MISSING

    I LOST CONTENT WITHIN AN ADDRESS BOOK APP, THE APP WAS REGULARLY BACKED UP, I REMOVED THE APP FROM MY IPHONE AND SYNCED IT BACK IN .THE APP SYNCED OK BUT THE CONTENT IS STILL MISSING

    That's because app content is stored in the iPhone backup, not the app. What you should have done, is first restore from backup, then sync your iTunes content...the app in question...back to your phone. That would have restored the app data. However, if you've synced, since restoring the app to your phone, the app data is gone.

  • HT201303 I tried to change my email address on the apple ID but now when I try to buy an app or film it still comes up with my old email address and won't accept  my password to buy anything. My old email address is no longer in use  and can not be access

    I tried to change my email address ID , but now when I try to buy an app or music it still shows my old email address  and won't accept my password which I did not change. What can I do as I can't download anything ?

    What id shows in Settings > iTunes & App Store ? If it's the old one then tap on it and log out of it and then log in with the updated version
