Address book help can't find files

My address book help files can't be found by the help viewer. It only shows the first page. When trying clicking on the link it gives either the error message 'can't find the file' or 'something ...1001'. The same goes for Automator. I haven't checked the other applications but Image Capture which can find its files. I have also peeked with Pacifist into the apps packages and there ins't any help file in mentioned apps.
Can anyone help or confirm?

HI
Control or Right Click on the Address Book Application. From the resulting menu select "Show Package Contents". You should see a folder called Contents. Look inside this folder and you should see a number of files and folders. One of them will be called Resources. Look inside this folder and you should see a plain file (ie: one with no specific icon) called AddressBook.help. On 10.6.5 it should be approx 10.6 MB in size and be version 4.0. This itself is a package and if you control or right click on the icon you should be able to select "Show Package Contents". Drill down through the resulting folder and you should see all the files and folders that make up the Help Section for address book.
If for some reason you are missing some of these files or (more likely) don't have access to them (permissions have got messed up for some reason possibly) then either repair permissions or use Pacifist to extract AddressBook from the Installer DVD to reinstall the application again. I think it's also possible to copy over a working copy that's the same version from another mac.
Most applications on OSX are 'standalone' and pretty much everything to do with that application will be contained 'within' the application itself. There are other ancillary files some applications use or even need - such as files placed in the User Library and Application Support folders - again it depends on the application. Your mileage as ever will vary.

  • When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page.

    When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

    I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

  • SEVERE: null : Can't find file '/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml'

    I'm trying to get Tiles to work with Struts on my server. I'm running a local instance of Tomcat v5.5. Development environment is Eclipse. I"ve looked everywhere on the web and can't find any solutions that work. I've been working on this for several days now. It shouldn't be this hard...
    I appreciate any help or suggestions people might have. I would really like to get beyond the configuration $#!^ and start coding.

  • Address Book Help is not available

    I don't believe I have ever had Address Book Help. When I go to it, it will give me the prompts for Content, etc., but there is no information there.
    Can someone assist me in figuring out how to download Address Book "Help". Would I go to my start-up disk and somehow just download that part? or is there a download on line which I can use?
    I have no idea why it's not available. I've had the computer since 04 and seldom have needed to access Help in this regard. Now, I really need it.

    You now need to import those files into Lightroom.
    BTW, Lightroom uses a "referenced" system so your images will always be in the folders you download/copy them to. Lightroom is a database first and foremost, albeit with non-destructive editing capabilities (effectively Adobe Camera Raw).

  • When exporting to Photoshop can not find files

    I have a drive that when I export an image to Photoshop it can not find the files. Any suggestions on getting them to read?

    I'm using MAC OS 10.49 the latest. I have 9 external hard drives. I can bring in all thumb nail images from all drives and as I update meta data it changes on all drives. But when I go to edit a specific image in Photoshop any image from this one drive and only this one drive I get error message "can not find file". If go out of Lightroom and into Bridge I can see the image and launch it in photoshop. It only happens so far with this one drive. I have several of the same manufacture drives. Does this help!

  • My contacts have been transferred from my iPhone5 to iPhone6 . I now need to back them up in a new PC in a separate address book How can I do it without adding all contacts from Outlook when I synch  from iTunes ?

    My contacts have been transferred from my iPhone5 to iPhone6 . I now need to back them up in a new PC in a separate address book How can I do it without adding all contacts from Outlook when I synch  back from iTunes ?

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

  • Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

    Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

    I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade.
    It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
    After printing, trash the added versions.

  • In Address Book, how can i modify several contacts (several cards) at the s

    Hello,
    In Address Book, how can i modify several contacts (several cards) at the same time ?
    for exemple : I have 100 contact which live in Paris, I select all of them together, but when I put "Paris" in the field "city", it puts "Paris" only in the fisrt contact !
    how to edit several contact at a time ?
    And I would like to put some kind of "tags", or words, in "remark", also by selecting several contact and edit them together...
    Thanks by advance !
    Alexandre.

    Welcome to the discussions, Alexandre1975 et bonjour.
    Just using Address Book this can't be done, but if you are prepared to try a little Applescript it is easy. This script will set the city for example - but only if there is already an address.
    AK
    click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "Address Book"
    set ContactList to the selection
    repeat with ThisOne in ContactList
    set city of first address of ThisOne to "Paris"
    end repeat
    end tell</pre>
    (The recent upgrade to the discussions has disabled the link that allows direct opening of a script, so run Script Editor and copy in the script.)

  • Can not find file must locate each song one at a time need to restore my whole library

    can not find file, must locate each song one at a time need to restore my whole library

    Hello BadSteve,
    It sounds like iTunes seems to have lost track of all your music and you must locate each file individually. I would recommend at this point that you check for 3rd party plugins to see if there are any causing an issue:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
    If the issue persists after removing the plugins, I would next try recreating your iTunes library:
    iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I am trying to install itunes 10.5.1 but it can't find file IXP609.TMP where can i get this

    i am trying to install itunes 10.5.1 but it can't find file IXP609.TMP so stopping the upgrade.   how do i upgrade itunes?  I tried uninstalling but it can't find another file 389 so I can neither uninstall nor reinstall.  Any thoughts please?

    Hi Rick,
    by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
    Success,

  • I get itunes can't find file when I tried to play a TV show I had purchased that was supposed to be in the cloud. There are several of these, including an entire season. In the store it shows that I purchased these shows when I checked them.

    I get itunes can't find file when I tried to play a TV show I had purchased. I then checked and had this problem with an entire TV season I had purchesed. The shows were supposed to be in the cloud. I went to the itunes store, went to the tv shows and they showed that I had purchesed them. They do not show up when I click on purchesed in the store.

    Try this...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
