Address book? Can't export, can't upload it, can't print it... ***? please

I have tried every conceivable way to export, and or print my address book.
To put it simply, I am creating an eVite. The only way it would upload my addresses, it said, was to create a CSV or Excel file. Can't do it. Well, I could manually type all 30 or so addys into a file, since I can't export them. But at that point I might as well manually type them into the eVite. But, I can't even print my address book to facilitate that process. So now I am faced with flipping back and forth between windows/screens as I do this?
Is there really no way to print this list?
I have gone to Window/address panel/edit/select all/print and all I get is the most recent email out of my inbox printing. I have been though every menu item at the top of my mail and nothing suggests I can export this file. I have opened the address book under Applications and still nothing.

the last download accomplished the job, however, it seems to be only a partial list. My contact lists contains duplicate names: a husband's email and a wife's email--it seemed to combine duplicate names and pick only 1 of the email addresses.
Anyway around this? Other than manually editing the cvs file it creates?
Thanks!

Address book can not print

I am having an issue with Address Book showing menu File > Print. When I select Print, nothing happens, no print dialog box appears. It seems to ignore the print command key command as well. Then at times it is showing Print as grayed out - and it is not even selectable.
Any ideas on this?

quit Address book and delete the file homedirectory/library/application support/address book/AddressBook-v22.abcddb. then start Address Book and try printing again.

One of my 2 address books can no longer be viewed, how do I access it?

one of my 2 address books can no longer be viewed, how do I access it? It disappeared within the last few days. I can still find addresses that are in the 2nd address book, but I cannot view it, so only 1/8 of my addresses are now viewable. How do I access the 2nd address book?

Hi ronc2, there isn't a specific setting for this. Firefox's built-in JavaScript settings allow you to control several aspects of scripts*, but unfortunately not this one.
I previously tried to find some other options for individually turning off this event, but I couldn't find a way. Someone might be able to create an add-on to solve this problem, but it will take someone cleverer than I.
Extensions that disable scripts on a site-specific basis:
* If you regularly visit some sites which do this, you can block JavaScript on that specific site using the YesScript extension. Unfortunately, other script-based functionality will be blocked as well.
* YesScript does not preemptively block scripts on every site. If you have to visit a lot of random sites and want to take a paranoid approach of having scripting blocked until you see as much of the site as you can see without running scripts, then the NoScript extension would be for you. But even then it's "all or nothing".
''* These include: JavaScript enabled yes/no, override right-click menu yes/no, change order of windows yes/no, move and resize windows yes/no, close windows yes/no, specific features of pop-up windows, change images yes/no, detect copy/cut/paste and modify selection yes/no.''

No contacts in address book, can not find address book anymore

I was trying to switch default email accounts, Hughes.net was the default and Yahoo the secondary and I wanted to swap these around as I am no longer using Hughes net.
In doing so I lost all email folders and address books. I have rebuilt the folders but now I see that I have no address book in either accounts.
Are they gone for good?
Thanks.
Jeff

There are two default address books in Thunderbird. Both of these address books can be copy pasted between mail accounts.
''Personal Address Book'' is called '''abook.mab'''
''Collected Addresses '' is called '''history.mab'''
These are stored in your Profile folder in the mail account name. But it would need your old mail account to be intact in order to copy anything from it to another mail account.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
* C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Profile name\ mail account name
The AppData folder is folder is a hidden folder; to show hidden folders, open a Windows Explorer window and choose "Organize → Folder and Search Options → Folder Options → View (tab) → Show hidden files and folders".
If your original mail account is still there: Profiles\Mail\mail account name
You could simply recover it. Info here:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_deleted_mail_accounts
Remember, when performing any changes in Profiles folder, Thunderbird must be closed first.

a message appears saying that there is a problem with the windows installer.

You might get a better response in the iSync forum, as your question is about syncing.

Address Book can't import vCards from MobileMe?

I did a Palm sync and it trashed my Address Book. (My fault - had the sync settings wrong.) Okay, I thought, I'll just grab my addresses from MobileMe. Went to MobileMe, (yes, everything looks okay), selected All, exported a vCard file and downloaded it to my computer. Went to Address Book and tried File > Import... > vCards... Got a message, "Are you sure you want to add 3 cards to your address book? There was a problem importing."
The vCard file contains 400+ entries. I've looked at the file in Text Wrangler and can't see anything obviously wrong with it. All the records are there, everything looks okay as far as I can see. Can anyone help?

You're welcome! Frankly, I think putting these options under the "Advanced" and "Reset sync data" buttons is not really the best place. It should be under a button saying something like "Sync Options" where you'd be able to set directions for sync for always, just one time, etc. Still, I'm glad you got it working right.

Address Book: Can't edit contact or add new

I have two computers and an iPhone that should be synching Address Book and iCal amongst themselves on Mobile Me. Recently, the iBook G4's Address Book has had some features disabled: the "edit" button is grayed out, the "+" button is grayed out, and trying to access the same functions under the file or edit menus, the same things are all grayed out. There doesn't seem to be anything in the settings or preferences that I can find that could be contributing to this problem. I need to be able to add and edit contacts from all 3 places, thus the point of having each of the devices and having Mobile Me. I don't know if this is an Address Book bug or a Mobile Me bug, as sometimes changes sync to iCal or Address Book, and sometimes they don't. Sometimes new changes are overwritten with old data, etc. Frustrating! It would seem an Address Book issue to not be able to add/edit though. Any ideas? And yes, both computers are on the same OS, 10.5.6.

Thanks to jamesk8752's link...I fixed it!!! :-) That link he posted brought me to the fix. I wrote it out easier to follow. I want to mention that when I upgraded to Mountain Lion the issue continued. This fix did the trick
1. Make a Backup Archive of your AddressBook.app (or Contacts.app)
2. Shut off iCloud Syncing (choose the option to delete the contacts).
3. Now with NO contacts in AddressBook (Contacts) quit the application.
4. Click on "go" and choose "go to folder" & navigate to [username]/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (even in Mountain Lion this is still accurate)
5. DELETE the addressbook-v22.abcddb file. Empty trash (just because I have OCD).
6. Reopen AddressBook/Contacts & create a new address card. You should now be able to edit it! Then delete it.
7. Go back into System Prefrences and turn on iCloud Contacts.
Your iCloud contacts will then appear and you'll be able to edit, delete, add, etc! Everything will be right as rain!

Address Book - Can't add Notes

Using 10.5.3 I can't add Notes to my address book cards either in Edit mode or not in Edit mode. The word "Note" is grayed out and I can't type in the field.
What am I missing? I feel like I am doing something wrong.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Try clicking to the extreme right of "Note:"

Address book: can't select iPhoto faces

Supposedly, I can double click the picture in a contact in address book, then click the Faces icon at the bottom left to browse from my iPhoto library.
However, in my address book, that icon is always greyed out.
Any ideas why that might be?
Regards,
Gabriel.

I have wasted time on this. It works for some faces, not others. I get some faces into Mail, not others. This seems to be yet another glitch in Lion (like my wretched mouse which has, yet again, disconnected for the second time during this message. It would help if Apple would say something about these problems, even if its just "hello").

Address Book, Can't Open

I had to restore OS 10.5.8 and now my Address Book (v 4.1.2) application won't open. I have Admin privileges per Get Info. Any suggestions?

Address Book: can't "re-open" window once I closed it (Command-W)

I closed the Address Book window (Command-W) and now want to "re-open" it. So I press Command-Tab to get to Address Book and I can't "re-open" Address Book so I can see it again!

Someone gave me this answer....
Actually, there is, as I recently found out....much to my astonishment. It is a bit hard to describe, but actually easy to do. If you have minimized a window to the Dock, use the Command-Tab shortcut to get to the application. With the application selected press the Option key and release the Command key. One minimized window of the application will become un-minimized (if you have more than one minimized application window, you have to un-minimize the other windows the old fashioned way). If the application is hidden, the same steps will make it reappear: Command-Tab to the application, press the Option key and release the Command key.

Address book can't get a new Group Folder & 'large type' function doesn't.

Since loading Tiger a few months ago the Address Book doesn't function as it did. I'd like to reload just the address book software - as that might solve it, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to download specific piece of apple software online. The current irritating problem is I can't create a new folder for a new group - and I'm sure there's other functions that I don't have - besides losing the large type thing and showing the map link on the address etc...

Hmmm...I don't know....I wonder whether this could be a file permissions or ownership problem?
In Terminal.app, when you type
ls -alTk Library/Application\ Support/AddressBook
what do you get? When I type that, I get:
drwxrw-rw- 12 jv user 408 Aug 30 09:23:46 2006 .
drwx------ 12 jv user 408 Aug 29 21:11:26 2006 ..

Are you seeing similar permissions ("-rw-------", etc.) on all your corresponding files of the same names (AddressBook.data, etc.)? Are they showing the same owner and group as the top two "." and ".." entries (in my case, jv and user -- will be different for you)?

Lost Address Book -- can I download from ipod?

I lost the entire contents of my Address Book, but have all the contacts on my ipod. Can I download the contacts from my ipod and import them back into my address book? One thing -- I currently have my computer set to automatically update my ipod, so I'm afraid as soon as I plug it in it will "update" my ipod with zero contacts. If I switch my ipod to disk use manually and then plug it in to my macbook, will that prevent this from happening? I checked the Library folder and there isn't even an Address Book folder in there at all. Help me!

I am not sure what you were doing when your AB data was lost. But you can check in Library/Application Support/AddressBook if there is a file called AddressBook.data.previous and if it is dated before you lost the data.
Then in the Address Book Application under the File menu there is a choice to Revert To Address Book Back Up. Might be worth a shot.
Good luck!

Address Book can't sync with Google

Hi,
I've been trying to sync my contacts with Google Contacts for the past two days, but I can't seem to make it work. It keeps saying "Incorrect Account or Password", but it actually doesn't even connect to Google (I used Cocoa Packet Analyzer to sniff the traffic and no packet was sent).
If I login with a different user, however, it just works.
I've already tried deleting my Address Book preferences and application support folder, it doesn't fix it.
And BTW, when I reset Address Book and launch it, at first it's empty, but after a few seconds it automagically (don't ask me how) recover my contacts. I've got an Address Book archive on my desktop, but I presume it shouldn't be loading it without asking me, right?
Any help would be much appreciated as I'd rather not move everything to a new user account just to make syncing work. Thanks!

Upgraded to Snow Leopard and I was experiencing this problem. Checking with Gmail help @ http://www.google.com/support/contactsync/, it says "If you enter your email address and password correctly, but the password isn't being accepted, try repairing your keychain". I tried to repairing my keychain twice, no problem found and the error message remains. I turned back maybe 15 mins later, guess what, it talks to google and the password accepted, now I am able to sync Address Book with Google. Hope this helpful to you!
