Address book categories missing

In Palm Desktop by Access, my address book catetories are missing and I can't restore them.
I created new categories and intended to re-designate the catetory for each entry, however in the list view I am not able to change the catetgories at all.  And when I view the entry in a detailed view, the correct catetorie is already choose.  Re-choosing the category from this view does not change the unfiled status of the entry when in the list view.  So in list view, I can sort alphabetically, but I can't view individual catetories.
I have a back up that's about a week old, and I wouldn't loose that much to revert to that version, but I'd rather not if I can help it.  Can anyone offer a suggestion of how to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Liz
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

I answered in your other post but there is no category feature on the Z30 address book.
I don't use categories in my Outlook so I can't verify that one for you.

  • Address book application missing!

    no address book in my applications folder. when i do a search of my hard drive address book is missing. how do i reinstall it?

    I don't currently have Panther installed on any of my Macs, and I cannot parallel what you have done. To the best of my knowledge this option should not be there, or at least should not be what you expect it to be.
    I believe you have only used the Restore disk to restore "bundled applications" -- see:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42929
    and also

    AB is not a bundled application, but part of the OSX.

  • Address Book Images Missing

    Almost all of my images in the Address Book have disappeared. The few that are there are the last 3 or 4 I added. When I look in Application Support/AddressBook/Images folder, I can actually find the missing images. However the UUID doesn't match the contact file in the Metadata folder.
    1) What could cause this to occur?
    2) Is there any way to fix it?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    I've had the same thing happen to me, too. I'm guessing it happened sometime in the last few weeks. I can find the folder with the images but they aren't showing up in the address book or mail. What happened?

  • All Address Book cards missing

    Came in to work and started my Mac and went to send an email to a staff member and their email address didn't pop up after the first three letters?
    Went to check Address Book and all cards are missing! I've been reading other posts and the difference for me was that I wasn't doing anything like transferring files or-the-like; very weird.
    Only OS thing I did the day before was to set it to log out when in active for 70mins. Otherwise no change??
    I did download Address Book restore files from my iDisk using BackUp and downloaded a file: AddressBook.data, but Address Book won't import or read this file so I can't restore my cards.
    Please help, as you can appreciate loosing all contacts is very serious. With thanks. W

  • My old address book is missing

    I had to replace my modem & when bought my computer back up address book was empty!! How do I get my addresses back?

    Replacing such hardware shouldn't remove any data.
    * Is the address book the only data missing?
    * Did you have to reinstall any software or move any files?
    * Did you [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_backing-up-a-profile make a backup of your Thunderbird profile in the recent past]?
    Your Thunderbird data is stored in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb a profile folder].
    [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_address_books_between_profiles This article provides detailed information about addressbooks files].
    * Are the files still there?
    Having the information requested above will also help, thanks in advance.

    Is there an option for us non-Time Machine users?
    I am getting an external hard-drive this winter, but I don't have one yet. So a solution other than that is ideal.
    (1) Instead of Time Machine, you could restore your contacts from other backups you use. Moreover, there is no requirement for the backup files to be on a hard drive.
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
    Even if you do not backup your entire startup disk, you will want backups of any important, expensive, or irreplaceable files plus those shown in this Apple article:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8771.html
    (2) If you have no backup, the only way I know to get your Address Book contact info back is to recreate it.
    As soon as you re-enter your Address Book info, use the Address Book > File > Export... > Address Book Archive... menu command to create an archive.
    The archive can be used to restore your data should the problem occur again. Rather than recreating the entire Address Book database, you can restore the archive and will then need to recreate only the changes since the archive was created.
    Typical Address Book archives are only a few megabytes, so, in addition to keeping a copy in your Documents folder, you can save an extra copy on another computer, writable CD or DVD, or even Flash (jump) drive. To safeguard against loss due to hard disk crash, it is vital that you keep your principal backup/archive somewhere other than your startup disk. I think you can see that more than one copy on more than one media is a good idea.
    I am slow on the keyboard, so I recreate my archive monthly in addition to Time Machine and the other backups I keep.

  • Mac Address Book Syncing - missing contacts

    Hi all my first post here.
    I just got my iPhone 3G here in Japan. I synced my contacts from my address book on my mac, but i noticed that a lot of contacts don't show up? is there any reason for this? I'd say %90 of my contacts have been copied correctly, but there are about %10 that are missing.
    Thanks,
    -Chris

    Gosh ... I hoped to find the solution for my girlfriends problem here. Exaktly the same:
    She's got a new iPhone 3G and was syncing. After that, there are about 20 % of the contacts, which are on her MacBook, missing in the iPhone. Only solution until now: Add the missing contact on the iPhone and resync. Then there they are ... abd they stay.

  • Contacts in Address Book Mysteriously Missing

    Hi,
    My boss had been having some issues with Entourage, so get him through I had set him up with an account in Mail.
    After discovering the external HD he was using to run Time Machine failed (the drive is making the clicking noise of death), I decided it was going to be easier to just reinstall Microsoft.
    The next day when he opened Address Book, he noticed all of his contacts were missing. Of course, this problem was discovered after he had already synced his iPhone (so now his contacts on the iPhone are gone as well.)
    So my question is (without the aid of Time Machine, or his usually synced iPhone) is there anyway to get these contacts back? Any advice would be a great help.
    Thanks
    CGian

    Try this simple step first:
    From the home screen on your phone, tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and then tap your MobileMe account. Tap the sliders off for each account that your are syncing. If prompted to do so, tap Keep on My iPhone/iPod touch. Turn your iPhone/iPod touch off and back on, then re-enable syncing. If prompted to do so, choose Merge with MobileMe. Wait a few minutes, and try syncing again.

  • What happened to Address Book categories?

    I was just starting to get everything together to send my Christmas cards out and have discovered that there is no way to print labels like I used to do from the Address Book.  I used to just go into the Address Book, select the "Xmas Card" category and print my sheets of labels.  Now, I can still see the categories when I look at the individual contacts, but I don't see a way to print a sheet of labels (i.e., every address in the Xmas category) for the specified category.
    Is this function gone?  Is there any other way to do this from the Address Book?
    Thanks for any advice/replies.
    Karin

    Never mind--I figured it out.  You just create a group and drag the contacts into it.  Then, you can print the address labels from there.  You can even select a specific template number from within the Print dialog box if you're using Avery labels, which I did.  Easy as can be!

  • Address Book is missing Notes probably due to syncing

    I'm having trouble with notes that I have entered in the Note section of Address Book. Some of my Notes are disappearing entirely for seemingly random contacts. Out of about 2000 contacts the notes for about ten or twenty random contacts disappear forever. This has been happening to me for years using Address Book although I frequently update. I'm guessing that its related to problems synching my Address Book with my iPhone, MobileMe, and iPad. I backup using MobileMe and Time Machine. Any suggestions on how to prevent this persistent problem? Also, is there an easy way to restore just those missing notes from Time Machine without replacing my entire Address Book with an old copy that will almost certainly be inferior because it is not up to date. I can't take the time to go through all 2000 contacts to figure out which ones have missing notes.

    Hopefully your computer included the correct install-restore discs and if the
    OS was an upgraded version from the original, those discs are there, too.
    You can use a demo mode of Pacifist (download from CharlesSoft) and
    have it extricate the specific parts of the correct OS X Installer and then
    it can install just the missing item(s) from the desktop. This is a bit tricky.
    (Should be better than performing an Archive & Install to just get one part.
    And the A&I process doesn't require wiping the hard drive, just upgrading.)
    Sometimes the instructions with Pacifist appear to be counter-intuitive;
    so if the utility does not work, be sure to recall details of what you did
    and try the other possible path. Be sure to repair disk permissions on
    the system once you are done; that shouldn't hurt but may help.
    If you had a bootable full computer clone on an external hard disk drive,
    you could probably just get the Address Book from there. However,
    some of the main system parts need to be Installed correctly since a
    few other parts get put into places where they aren't really seen.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Novell Groupwise Address Book is missing

    Hi,
    on one workstation I have the problem that the Novell Groupwise Address book does not show up.
    If I try to go to Services in the File menu, the hour glass shows up for a second and thats it.
    Everything else is working on this workstation.
    It was working in the beginning, and I did no changes to this user or the system lately.
    Thank you, Reinhard.

    Just a note, I really thought there must be an easier or better way to solve this issue than uninstalling Outlook (not that I'm a "fan" of it, but I keep it for "testing" purposes and such).
    I found that it was as simple as going in to Control Panel > Mail.
    Click the "E-mail Accounts..." button.
    Select the bottom radio button under Directory which is called "View or change existing directories or address books", then "Next >".
    The list I saw was missing the Novell GroupWise Address Book, but still showed Novell LDAP Address Book and Novell Personal Address Book. I just clicked "Add...", selected "Additional Address Books", clicked "Next >".
    At this point I got a list of available options, selected the Novell GroupWise Address Book and clicked "Next >".
    The only other thing I found is that in my GroupWise Address Book, the order of the MAPI address books in the first list dictated the order of things in GroupWise. So I removed and re-added a couple different things to get just what I wanted.
    Hope this can help someone.

  • It seems that some of my address book is missing. How can I get that back?

    The address book looks different now. And some of my addresses are not there. How do I get them back?

    It makes sense to save tabs/sites as bookmarks, maybe in groups as a folder so that you are able to open say 10 or so related tabs in one go. see also [/en-US/questions/910138#answer-296903]

  • Address Book Accounts missing Account Info / Sharing panel

    Address Book Prefs > Accounts shows On My Mac in left column but there is no panel to the right with Account Information and Sharing buttons.
    Any ideas why they are lost and how to retrieve them?

    Also, there was a product called MySync, which used the same syncing technology that Mac OS X uses to sync through .mac. It is now called SyncTogether. It allows syncing of accounts on the same Mac using Fast User Switching. It also appears to offer selective syncing, such as predetermined groups in Address Book.
    From the features page;
    Family Members

    At home, SyncTogether will make Address Book and iCal work for you in new ways. SyncTogether's selective syncing feature lets you choose individual Address Book groups and iCal calendars to sync with other family members' Macs. *Sync a common list of addresses without sharing your entire contact list.* Share individual iCal calendars to keep track of family events and schedules. SyncTogether allows each user to add or modify information, so Mom can add weekend plans from her Mac, and Dad and the kids will see the new plans following the next sync. SyncTogether can even synchronize information between multiple accounts on the same Mac, which is great for families that share a single computer.

  • Address Book app missing after ML upgrade

    Hi - After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I no longer have the Address Book app in my Applications folder.
    It exists on the backup clone I made just before I upgraded. But that version won't run under Mountain Lion.
    2 Questions:
    1) What happened?
    2) How do I restore Address Book? Reinstall ML?
    Thanks....

    Doh. I had set up a hot key to call up Address Book.
    When it failed, I looked in the Applications Folder. No Address Book!
    I wish all my computer issues were this easy to fix...thank you.

  • Address Book Names Missing -- Just Phone Numbers

    A friend of mine has an iPhone, but does not have MobileMe. She wanted to sync her contacts (which were on her iPhone) to her Mac's Address Book (which had no contacts).
    After connecting her iPhone to iTunes, she went under the "Info" tab and selected the checkboxes to sync Address Book information. The problem with this was that there were no contacts in her Address Book. So now, her phone no longer shows the names of the people she added -- just their phone numbers!
    Any way to find out these peoples' names?
    Thanks.

    One thing that might help.
    If itunes did a back up of the iphone before the sync.
    First open itunes preferences and go to the devices tab.
    Check the box to disable automatic syncing for all iphones and ipods.
    Now, she can try to right click, or control click, on the name of the iphone under devices in itunes and choose restore from back up.
    Hope this helps.
