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.

  • Address Book Syncrhoniz​ation not available in Desktop Manager

    Hi all;
    I'm a complete noivce BB user, so apologies if this is an obvious question.
    I've synced my Bold's Address Book with my Address Book on my Mac and home and now would like to sync my work contacts through Outlook. However, when I attempt to use the Desktop Manager to do so. There is no option for the Address Book (just Calendar, Addins, tasks and memos).
    Any thoughts?
    Many thanks in advance...
    Doug

    Is the Address Book option missing or grayed out? I'm not sure why you're seeing add-ins in the list. In the list with 4 checkboxes there should only be Address Book, Calendar, Memos, Tasks.

  • Address Book Server will not sync all fields with iOS client

    Hello,
    I am getting really frustrated with my Mac Mini Server.
    Apparently, the Address Book Server DOES NOT sync all fields.
    Only standard vCard-fields seem to synced.
    I have not successfully synced user-defined fields, such as an additional date.
    Any ideas / infos on how to achieve this if this possible at all?
    Thanks for the input,
    Erasmus
    One thing: I posted the same question in the "Lion" (non-server) discussion - sorry for any confusion.
    One thing I noticed:
    All changes made on the server in the OS X Address Book are distributed to two iOS clients (iPod 4th Gen iOS4 iPhone 3GS iOS 4).
    Any help is appreciated.

    Sorry for answering myself...
    I just found out that after editing the newly distributed entry on an iOS4-Client, some fields on the server are deleted!

  • Address Book 'Birthday' field not sync onto Palm e2 'Birthday' custom field

    Hi,
    In my OSX Address Book, I have a 'Birthday' field in which I want to isync to my Palm e2 contact.
    To date, I have not been able to transfer this information even though I have created a 'birthday' custom field in the palm device. This information does not get isync between Address Book and e2 Contact.
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    If you have solved it, I hope you can share this with me please.
    Thanks.

    With the Address card in Edit mode you should be able to click the year field and after it highlights blue, change it to the year you need.
    According to Address book Help, in the Address Book Help Menu;
    You can keep track of contacts’ birthdays by creating a birthday calendar that automatically includes all the birthdays in your address book.
    1. In Address Book, make sure you’ve entered the birthdate for each contact whose birthday you want to track.
    2. In iCal, choose iCal > Preferences.
    3. In the General pane, select the “Show Birthdays calendar” checkbox.
    Birthdays in your address book are automatically added to the Birthdays calendar in iCal. When you add or remove birthday information in Address Book, the Birthdays calendar is also updated. You can’t make changes to the Birthdays calendar in iCal; to change it, you must edit the information in Address Book.
    You can check in iCal Help for info on setting alerts.

  • Error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available" and saving to wrong Drive

    I am trying to upgrade iTunes to 10.7 on my PC but I keep getting the error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available". Diagnostics take me a support page which talks about not being able to see the device in iTunes - but I can see the device without problems.
    I thought I would try reinstalling iTunes from the webpage and it downloaded to my PC fine but when I went to setup, it showed me it is saving to a DVD drive - not my Hard drive. It also won't let me change the location for the file. I have no idea how that's happened as I obviously don't use the DVD drive as a USB (although the PC see's it as one) and I've never chosen it as the location for iTunes in the 7-8 years that I've been using it.
    I then thought I'd try uninstalling it and reinstalling it (to the correct drive) but again, it comes up that the DVD drive is invalid and won't uninstall iTunes.
    So I'm stuck and haven't been able to find anything helpful on the support pages or in iTunes Help.
    Please someone help ...
    Thanks.

    Try the following user tip. (Probably, the section on clearing the installation database might be best given that you've currently got a drive on the problematic letter at the moment.)

  • MacBook Address Book Application Does Not Run

    MacBook OSX 10.5.8 - Address Book application will not run - it shows up in Applications Folder but will not run - either double click or command File - Open.  I have reinstalled the Address Book application with the original installation disk, which indicated the application was installed, still will not run.  Rebooted, reinstalled again - same result -- the Applications Folder shows the file size as 1.4 Mb - updated today - the installation disk showed approx. 53 Mb was being installed - not sure if the Application Directory is only showing a command file or what - also ran the hardware diagnostic and found no problems.  Software update shows current software is up to date.
    Haven't used Address Book so do not know if it ever worked.  Need it now to sync with IPhone 4.  Any Ideas?

    rjackjr,
    After reinstalling an Apple application from the installation disk, it is also necessary to reinstall the latest Combo Update for the installed system. In your case that would be Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update.
    Try that and see what happens with your Address Book application.

  • MM03 Material master display F4 help is not available

    Dear All..
                    For one particular user MM03 Material master display F4 help is not available
    even i have press the push button on material text the help is not popup.
    Even authorization already exist  for that user material master display.
    Please give your suggestion on this.
    Regards
    Anand.

    HI Anand,
    I am going to assume that the problem is with F4 help in general, and not just with MM03.
    If you have only one user with the problem, then the best way to troubleshoot is to compare with another user who is not having the same problem (like yourself).
    First check Help settings for the user:  From any screen, select Help>Settings  select F4 tab.  Review the settings. Look for differences.  Make corrections.  Save.
    If you can find nothing amiss, then the GUI is probably the culprit.  Check to see if this user is on the same version and patch as the 'successful' users.  From SAPLOGON, select the tiny SAP icon from the blue bar, then select 'About SAP logon'.  Alternately, you can right clik on the SAPLOGON on the Windows taskbar and select 'About SAP Logon'. 
    There are known problems of bad interactions between certain Microsoft Software and certain patches of SAPGUI.  If any problems, download the latest GUI version and patch from SAP software distribution Center
    http://service.sap.com/swdc
    Select Download>Support packages and Patches>Entry by Application group
    Select SAP frontend components.
    Select the appropriate platform, then download the version that you need.
    If the user is on the same vers & patch as you, and you can't find any other problem, might be a good idea to reinstall the SAPGUI.
    Regards,
    DB49

  • When I delete a name from the address book it does not delete it from the drop down name menu when forwarding a message. How do I remove it from the drop down menu?

    When I delete a name from Address Book it is not removed from the name drop down list when forwarding a message. How can I remove it from the drop down list?

    In Mail go to the Window Menu and select Previous Recipients. Deleting entries from there won't delete them from your Address Book.

  • Getting "Help is not available..."

    Whenever I try to access the dynamic help from inside Flash Builder, I get a dialog saying "Help is not available at this time" and "Verify that you are connected to the internet then try again". I am connected to the internet. The Adobe Community Help application is installed. I've even instralled the latest one from Labs (with the built-in "find" function). I've doewnloaded help locally for Flex. I can access this help from within the Adobe Help application. But I can not access it from within Flash Builder 4. Attempting to do so shows the above error message. I sustpect a prefs file being out of whack, since the error message is totally bogus.
    Any suggestion appreciated.
    -JM

    Nope, didn't help. Got exactly the same error message. Note that the Adobe Help application works OK in all other CS5 applications (including Flash Professional). It's only its link to FB that somehow seems broken. It doesn't even attempt to launch it. If I select Dynamic Help on the Help menu then click an identifier, it appears in the Dynamic Help pane, as shown here:
    However, when I click the API in the Help pane, I get this error message:
    With the bogus error message (the computer can browse the Internet, send email, etc).
    So the qwuestion remains, how can I get AS3 help working again from within FB?

  • HT2486 want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible

    want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible (see attached image). for some reason, all new contacts added through Mountain Lion appear as fullscreen caller ID images.

    This would be better addressed in the iPhone forum, I would post there as well.

  • 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.

  • ICloud Address Book and Calendar not syncing. Missing and duplicate entries. Help.

    I have duplicate entries in Address Book. I have missing entries on other devices. For calendar it just doesn't sync.
    What I've done to try to fix it:
    1) I signed out of all my devices from iCloud and MobileMe.
    2) I then deleted all the the cache files in Library and any iCloud folders I could
    3) I deleted all the address book and calendar entries on each device.
    4) Went back and deleted anything in Library and caches.
    5) I looked at iClould.com and confirmed they had entries in Address Book and Calendar.
    6) Signed back into iCloud on each device.
    7) All the devices then began to populate.
    Trouble began:
    1) Some Address Book entries are missing on devices.
    2) iClould has multiple entries for the very missing contacts! All cutting off the notes field at different places!
    3) It won't sync the missing contacts present on iCloud but not the device.
    Help.

    Solved it myself. What I did:
    1) I have four Lion OS and two iOS devices.
    2) I kept one computer with the complete address book I wanted to start with but disconnecting it from iCloud's Contact sync via Apple Menu > System Preferences > iCloud uncheck Contact Sync
    3) Logged into iCloud.com and deleted all the contacts and groups manually ( many keyboard shortcuts worked )
    4) On the main computer, using textedit, I replaced semicolons I was using to delimit items in the notes field with backslashes.
    5) Once I confirmed all the other computers and devices had no entries in Address Book, on the main computer I turned back on iCloud Contact syncing. It worked. Correct count of entries and no more breaking notes at the semicolons!
    6) Immediately all the other iCloud computers and devices updated to the correct notes! Finally.
