Address book contacs not appearing

i am having some issues with my address book lately, when i open address book, everything is blank, i am not allowed to add any contacts or do any modifications. what is weird is the fact that the contacts do appear in mobileme, and when i compose a new email all the contacts are available available as well. i've tried resetting the mobileme sync settings and have set it to transfer all contacts to my macbook pro with no success, everything is still blank, any help?
I have restarted my computer to see if the problem is fixed and everything is the same. I also checked user>library>addressbook and al the v.cards are there, i reallybran out of ideas.
Thanks

caturcios,
Since you reinstalled Address Book from your install disk, you should also reinstall the Mac OS X v10.6.3 v1.1 Update (Combo) to bring the Address Book application up to the most recent version. Give that a try while you are waiting for other suggestions.

  • Address Book Recipient Not Appearing in Mail To List

    I have an entry in my Address Book that will not appear in Mail's to field when I start typing that person's name. I can drag and drop from Address Book without a problem. Just seems to be a problem with one contact. Any suggestions to get this working?

    Hi,
    If a new OAB is set as default, please check whether the OAB folder in the following path is the latest date in Exchange sever:
    a. OAB generated in Mailbox:
    \\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\ ExchangeOAB
    b. OAB distribution in Client Access:
    \\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\ClientAccess\OAB
    If the OAB file is not generated, please collect any event logs in Mailbox server and provide your OAB virtual directory information for more troubleshooting. If the files in both of two folders are latest,
    we can try the following steps in Outlook to download Offline Address Book:
    1. Delete the *.oab files in the following folders in local machine:
         \Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Offline Address Books
    2. Create a new Outlook profile that uses Cached Exchange Mode.
    3. Start Outlook 2010 with this new profile.
    4. In the ribbon click Send / Receive, click
    Send/Receive Groups and then click Download Address Book.
    For more information about OAB downloading and updating, please refer to Q5 to Q20 in:

  • Address Book pic not used for Buddy Icon

    Hi there,
    The buddy icon for everyone I chat with is a default blue globe . . . I know these people, my brother for example, have a photo selected for themselves in their address book. Why is there address book photo not appearing as their buddy icon?
    Thx!

    Hi Krischips22,
    First of All click once on one Buddy.
    Use the Apple Key and I together (Get Info)
    Go to the Screen name in the drop down
    IS this the same Pick as shown on the Address Card in the dropdown ?
    Is there an Option selected that says Use the Pic ?
    Are they in your Address Book ?
    DO you have a Pic there for them ?

  • Address Book window not visible

    Have a strange problem with Address Book on a friend's new 27-inch iMac.
    When Address Book is launched, the menus appear at the top of the screen but there is no window. Some menu items are greyed out but some are visible. Have tried various things:
    Window > Address Book does not make the window appear. Repaired permissions, removed .plist files.
    Can view the Address Book entries from the Address Book button in Mail.
    Any ideas, anyone?

    Start by backing up the user/Library/Application Support/Addressbook folder.
    In that folder is a file called AddressBook-v22.abcddb. Delete that and start address book. That will delete the index and have AB recreate it. I don't know if that is the problem, but may be.
    On a different tack, download and install the 10.6.3 combo updater. It may fix what is broken. However, most problems are data-related, not the application itself.
    Can you log into a different user and open Address Book? Just create a new user account for testing, if there isn't another. I keep one just for checking stuff like this. Checking in a different user will tell us if it is a system-wide problem, or just that one particular user.

  • Address Book does not sync with "Truth"

    Hey all.
    I've been experiencing this problem for some time now. I'm syncing between Address Book, Entourage 2008 and my cellphone via iSync. Recently however, it seems that my Address Book does not sync with the "Truth" anymore. For instance, when I make changes to a contact within my cellphone, after using iSync, the changes appear in Entourage 2008, but not in Address Book. Likewise, if I import a contact's vCard into Address Book, it does not show up in Entourage 2008 or iSync back to my cellphone.
    I've tried resetting Sync History through both the button in iSync's preferences as well as terminal. That did not work. Neither did repairing permissions.
    Could someone help me please?
    Thank you!

    If you have developper tools installed, maybe you can take a look a Syncrospector, located in /Developer/Applications/Utilities/
    You should see AddressBook in clients list, with last sync data and registered entities (data types).
    You can also check if /System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBook.framework/Resources/AddressBookSync.app is present on your disk.

  • When I compose an E-mail my address book will not open when I click on TO or CC, but it does work on other computers and also if I use explorer.

  • Old address book will not open in Snow Leopard

    After upgrading to SL, attempting to access AB in the dock brings up the message "This version of Address Book will not open in this operating system. You have Address Book version 4.1.2". Querying Apple Support brought suggestions from reinstalling just Address Book to utilizing Time Machine. Solution was incredibly simple.
    When upgrading to SL, the OS upgraded AB...but only in Applications. If you're getting this message, go to Applications and click on AB there. If it opens, just delete AB in the Dock, then transfer the new, updated AB to the dock, and you're all set.

    Somehow you've retained an old version of Addressbook (version 5.0.3).  The current version is 6.1
    Look in the apps folder to see if you have the current version, the dock icon may be pointing to the old version.

  • Address book will not sync with outlook

    I have a bb curve 8530. My desktop PC runs windows 7 and Outlook. The address book will not sync with outlook. The calendar function, however, will sync with outlook. The error messages are:
    "Runtime error: unable to locate application in system table. The product may not be installed properly; run the installer and choose repair."
    Or, "Intellisyncy error encountered 0x8004fff."
    or, "unable to complete synchronization."
    I have pulled out the battery of the 8530 to try a hard reset. I have reloaded on my PC the latest software from the BB website. I have reset and configured synchronization settings multiple times in every possible order. I have deleted from my outlook contacts any large files. I do not know what the installer the error message refers to.
    Thanks, David

    you cant reset your PIN, it is hardcoded into the BB
    where is your PIN missing?
    when it syncs the calendar, does it look like it syncs but nothing actually happens, no errors?
    or does it crash with an error?
    on your BB go to options- advanced options- default services
    make sure facebook is not set for CICAL

  • Address Book does not synchronize

    Hi.
    My Address Book does not update when I add a contact in Mail.
    It also does not sync with my iPhone. When I tried to replace the information on my phone, I ended up with all my contacts on the phone being wiped out! I don't use MobileMe.
    I went to iSync to reset Sync History, but no joy.
    I have created another user account, and added a few names in the Address Book to test this, and this does sync with my iPhone.
    So I think this is a problem isolated to Address Book in my user account. Can I reset it somehow, so that it links back to all these other programs?
    Thanks

    Found the answer in another post by V.K.
    delete the file homedirectory/library/application support/address book/AddressBook-v22.abcddb and the file /homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.addressbook.plist.
    Once I did this it works again

  • Address book does not launch and does not sync to iphone

    When I had upgraded to 10.5.4, the permissions from my user profile got corrupted. Since then I have created another profile and rebuilt permissions. Now the address book is not launching, it just bounces in the dock and nothing happens. Also when I try to sync my iphone i get an error saying i don't have permissions to carry out a operation and it quits out. i think it has to do with the address book not launching. Is this a permissions problem or another quirky thing because of this 10.5 OS??
    Thanks in advance

    I'm not sure what you mean by your "user profile." Do you mean you recreated a new user account along with a new home folder?
    If you create a second account, can you launch the Address Book from that one?
    If you cannot launch Address Book at all, you may need to reinstall OS X.

  • My address book does not open when I click on the "To" bar in an email.

    I recently upgraded to Thunderbird 4.1.0. Since that time my address book does not open when I try to address an email from the "To" or other lines. I have to manually open the address book and cut and paste the address. How can I reconnect the address book to the email program?

    Thank you. You solved my problem. I appreciate it.

  • Address Book Groups not showing up in iTunes

    The groups that I have set up in Address Book are not showing up in the Info tab in iTunes when attempting to sync my iPhone. The iCal calendars show and sync with no problems. I have tried resetting sync history, logging off of my .Mac account and logging back in.
    Any advise? Thanks.

    Don't take what I have to say as fact, because I don't use a Mac and could be mistaken. I remember reading last night something about people taking and checking the box on the Summary page of iTunes to replace the info on the iPhone with the computer. Once that was done, it seemed to correct this issue and showed the address groups after that.
    It might be worth the experiment, however I would make sure I had a backup of the phone before I tried it. I know it was only the last day or show that I read it, so if you want to search the forum before you try it, be my guest. I don't want to ruin anything for you, but I just remember reading that someone did that and it fixed it.
    Hope this helps.
