Address Book entries are being deleted without user action

I am currently using the Thunderbird v 31.3.0 email client on my personal machine running Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2 upgrades. I am having a reoccurring problem where I add an email address to my personal address box, the address remains in the list for some time and then is deleted without the user (me) deleting it. Has happened multiple times.
Appreciation in advance for any support regarding this issue.

  • Recent changes (v 31) have made a mess of the address box and addressing; address book entries are incorrectly entered and lists don't work.

    Not really a question. I've gone back to an earlier version of T-Bird because the address block format and addressing function in V31 is a total mess. When calling addresses from the address book, they are incorrectly entered. Lists simply don't work at all. V24 was pretty good so I've turned off auto updates.

    Thanks Bob for that very fast reply!
    But neither "Modifying hal configuration" nor "Using the Desktop Environment settings" (xfce) worked. So I tried the "I don't want this crap, how do I turn it off?" solution and well it works
    Maybe I turn it back on in a month or so.. but for now i'm fine with no hot plugging but a working keyboard...
    Thanks and Bye!

  • Address book entries doubled on just one device

    I have 3 macs, an iPad and an iPhone and all the data is synchronized with iCloud.  However on one of the Macs the Address Book entries are doubled.  Would someone have any idea how I can resolve this issue ?

    Are they doubled in a single account or are there two accounts with the same contacts.

  • How can I delete ALL of my Address Book entries and start fresh?

    Yes. I know that sounds extreme, but……
    I use Outlook on a PC at my office, and I have an sbcglobal/Yahoo mail account. I look upon my office Outlook as my ultimate contacts list (over 1,100 entries) and my calendar.
    I use the sbc supplied free Intellisync software to sync all of my calendar and contacts from my office PC into sbc/Yahoo. That way I actually get e-mail reminders of appointments, etc. in addition to my Outlook notifications. It is actually pretty nifty.
    I have also successfully signed-on to my Yahoo account at home on my MAC and exported all of my contacts from Yahoo (which had been populated by the PC Outlook listings via Intellisync) onto my desktop and then imported them into Address Book. But I did that some time ago and now my Outlook listings have been updated rather substantially. I would like to able to do a complete re-install of the new and improved contacts from the Yahoo repository.
    Again - I certainly do not want to delete the Address Book app itself – I just want to start with a clean slate so there are no conflicts or duplicate entries (which in fact is seemingly a bug in the Yahoo/Intellisync. Is there a way to completely wipe clean all of my Address Book entries?
    Thanks

    Hello Allan -
    Your help on a previous post was great re: my wanting to know how to delete the Address Book contents so I can re-import an updated list form my office Outlook, via my yahho/sbcglobal import.
    Well - here is an interesting quandary:
    I have successfully exported my yahoo address book/contacts as a .vcf file Yet - once I have expunged the prior Address Book data and want to now import the NEW Yahoo data to rebuild the database it only takes (enters) the phone numbers and does NOT import ANY of the address information. I am positive I did this once since our original exchange and everything transferred just fine, but now….?!
    What I cannot determine is where the fault may be: does the export NOT include the addresses (in which case I am doing something fundamentally stupid wit the export) or the vcf cards are complete, but Address Book is not “seeing” anything other than the phone #s and e-mail addresses.
    Any thoughts?
    Dazed and confused

  • HT2500 delete address book entries

    How do you delete address book entries?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    With Address Book open, select the entry to be deleted in the Name (middle) column by clicking on it.
    Now select Edit, Delete Card from the top menubar.
    The option to delete a card does not appear unless a card is selected first.

  • Address Book entries deleted... then reappear!

    When I connect my address book to MobileMe, I am finding certain rogue address book entries that I want to change or delete, but they never retain the changes for very long.
    I delete or edit, sync to MobileMe righ away, and see the change correctly on both MobileMe, iPhone, and computer. Then, the next day or two, it randomly shows up again with the old data.
    I even tried resetting the sync data with the address book, to no avail.
    Any suggestions?

    I would try to connect to mobile me on your "master" device. The one that is most correct. Reset all mobile me services, and have your computer replace the contents on mobile me. Then I would disable and re-enable each of the other devices. That way it completely clears out mobile me, and then sets up each device again.

  • How do i remove my photo from my Address Book entry?

    two questions: first, how do i remove my photo from my entry in Address Book? i should be able to click "Edit", select my photo and hit the Delete key and be done, but no - hitting the Delete key does nothing except make the photo blink.
    second, i just posted a comment on a web page that i've never been to before, on a site that i've never been to before, and my photo appeared on the web page next to my comment. very creepy. anybody know why this is and how i make it stop? does it have something to do with my Address Book entry?
    update: i've consulted Address Book's help and it tells me to select the card then go Card -> Clear custom image, but when i do, that menu item is grayed out.
    further update: i've worked around the problem by taking a screen shot of a blank white area of a webpage and making that my photo...but i shouldn't have to do that and would still like to know how one actually deletes one's photo from Address Book. Address Book's help indicates that i'll find such photos in Library/Images/People, but there's no such directory in any of my Library folders. Address Book's help is not being very helpful today.
    tia...

    there is actually no way to completely delete an image for you address book entry. you can only change it to something else as you did.
    as for the image on that website, most likely it pulled your photo from your webpage on some site like My Space, Facebook etc. do you have a page like that? some sites will tap directly into your webpage and pull your pic from it.

  • Duplicate address book entries

    After upgrade I have multiple address book entires for same contact (OSX 10.7.2).  How do I delete duplicate entries?

    One reason you may have duplicates is that you have each contact listed under your 'iCloud' account AND under your 'on my mac' account. Only contacts in the iCloud account will sync.
    Click on the ribbon in the Address Book to reveal 'Users & Groups', and then by selecting each account on the left side you will see which contacts are in which account. (make sure nothing is typed in the search field)
    If this is the reason you have duplicates you have two options of dealing with the situation. Either you can leave the duplicates alone and click on one account or the other before clicking on the ribbon again to limit what you see to that account when you return to the main part of your Address Book.
    Or you can delete all the contacts from one account (usually the 'on my mac' account if you want to continue syncing with iCloud). Click on the account you want to delete contacts from on the left side of the Address Book and select the first contact in the list on the right, shift click the last contact to select all and delete.
    Finally, You may want to check your default account is set correctly in the Address Book preferences.
    OR
    Go to users and groups and choose only your On My Mac Contacts to display.
    Ensure that nothing is typed in the search field.
    Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
    Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.
    Delete the contacts from Address Book (using your delete key).
    Make sure your iCloud account is your default account (preferences > general).
    Select All iCloud contacts from users and groups.
    Drag the file you previously dragged to your desktop back onto Address Book.
    You might want to back up all your contacts before you begin.
    Select All contacts in users and groups
    Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
    Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.

    Why not using nick names ? The only downside is gw7 and earlier
    nicknames don't show up in the address book. GW8 does show the
    nicknames in the address book.

  • Multiple Address Book Entries that all send to the same GW account ?

    Our CIO wants a few address book entries that if chosen, will all send to
    the same account.
    Seems easy enough but I haven't found a way, without creating a new account
    that has some Forward or Delegate rule.
    Is there a nicer way to do it without having another real GW account created
    and using Rules?
    I was kind of hoping to just create an External User that simply points to
    the one account but it complains that that e-mail address already exists.
    Thanks

  • CUCM 8.6 Personal Address Book entry limitation?

    Hi Experts,
    Can one of you tell me what is the limitation of Personal Address Book entries?
    Done a quick search
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2153123
    according to this on 8.5 is 1000.
    - Is this still the case on 8.6,
    - is it per phone or this is the system limitation (per ?server?) ? if having two CUCMs, will this be 2x 1000 (if 1000 is still the case for 8.6)?
    Thanks in advance!
    Kind regards,
    Tibor

  • Duplicate Contact/Address Book entries on iPhone

    why do I have duplicate contact and address books entries on my iPhone? I never had this problem until I upgraded to iCloud. I have an iPhone 4 and it is upgraded to the current OS.

    If you are using Outlook 2011, make sure you have the latest service pack and update.
    Make sure your Mac Book and all devices have the latest update.
    If the Calendar on the Mac Book is correct go to step 3
    Assuming Mac Book Calendar is correct, remove accounts from iPhone, iPad.
    Reconnect account to iPhone, iPad account.
    All calendars should now be in sync.
    There are times when the Mail, Calendar, Contact application has been corrupted (Outlook 2011, Mac Mail, Entourage, etc).  This will cause all kinda of issues on your devices.  You have to repair the mail client first.  In the case of Outlook you can delete the profile and recreate it.  In Mac Mail you can rebuild (from Tools on the menu bar)

  • Relationships in Address Book entries

    Are there any applications which make use of the relationships within the OS X address book entries? I'm talking about the ability to specify one's brother, spouse, parents etc...
    Does this field actually serve a practical purpose for anything?
    I'm just curious
    Terence

    Address Book imports & exports data in "vCard" format, a standard that is widely used & understood by many applications. This more or less defines how the data fields are structured & provides for such things as an open ended method for defining fields beyond the obvious ones like name, address, phone number, etc.
    In Address Book, if you click & hold on a field like spouse, you get a popup menu with a few options, like going to that person's card or doing a spotlight search on their name. Since this is open ended, you can create any 'relationship' field you want & use it with these popup options. What's more, Apple provides the ability to define new options for the menu & a way to pass field data to them, which allows developers (including everyday users with some knowledge of AppleScript) to add plugins to increase the functionality of the application.
    I'm not aware of any plugin that extends the functionality of relationship fields ("related names" in AppleScript terminology), but it should be possible to create them in much the same way other plugins are created. If you are interested, you might want to check out the structure of the script plugins Apple offers (see Apple - Software - AppleScript - iCal) or of third party ones (see burger locator for a silly but educational example).
