Address book icon is suddenly disappearing.  It is now just 1/2 visible.  Am I being hacked?

First time I need to ask a question.  Am I being hacked? The icon on the bottom of the screen for my Address Book, the little gold symbol, just got tons of lines on it and now has only half the picture visible.  When it first happened today, I turned the computer off, did it 2 more times, looked and installed "software updat" but now it is getting smaller and smaller.  Am I being hacked, if yes, what do I do?
Thank you.

  • Disappearing Address Book icon

    Hi folks,
    the icon for address book has disappeared from the dock, leaving a blank space - hovering over the space shows that the programme is still there and will open when clicked, but no sign of the icon. Have no idea what to do to get it back (and yes, I tried the on/off panacea!). Any suggestions? Am running latest version (updates up to date) Snow Leopard on a 6 month old MacBook Pro.

    John,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    One of the first things to try is restarting your computer.
    If that is unsuccessful, try refreshing the Dock plist file. Go to your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences folder, find the com.apple.dock.plist, drag it to your desktop, log out/in, or restart and let us know what happens.
    Your dock will revert to default settings, and hopefully once again display the Address Book icon.

  • System Preferences, Address book, and ical suddenly won't open

    As I said My system Preferences, Address book, and ical suddenly won't open. This seemed to have happen all at once. The only unusual thing to happen lately is that my ipod was corrupted and I resored it last night. Now when I try to open these programs I get one or two bounces on the icon, then nothing. My other programs including itunes seem to work fine. There are no error messages at all.

    /System/Library/Frameworks/Message.framework/Versions/B/Message (file is empty)OK, this is an important part of your basic system and will need to be restored.
    First you should boot from your Install Disk and repair your disk: see Using Disk Utility and fsck to resolve startup issues or perform disk maintenance.
    Then I think you would be wise to consider an Archive & Install. See Mac OS X : About the Archive and Install Feature. This should put back the missing file(s). You will also then need to re-apply the Mac OS X 10.3.9 Update (Combo), and anything else Software Update says is missing.
    Post back and let us know how you get on!

  • Where is Address book Icon in Mail "send" toolbar

    Installed Lion.  Could not find the "address book" icon in the send toobar.  It was in Leopard, however I cannot seem to find it in Lion.  Is it no longer available or am I just not looking in the right place?

    I did find that Icon however if you are in the main menu for mail it IS there.  However if you hit New Message a new window comes up and that tool bar does not have the "man" icon.  I have to pull the window down some so I can see the main menu, then click on the "man" to get the address book.   I tried to pull the icon into the send window but it would not transfer.  Just seems awkward to me or maybe I am missing something.
    The Address Book Icon was in the send window on Leopard as I recall.

    my address book icon is gone from the screen on my blackberry pearl..please help me recover. Thanks

    Make selective backup
    save only data that you need to be saved.
    After that on the device go to Options - Security Options - General Settings
    Hit the menu button and select "Wipe handheld"
    It will wipe the device memory.
    After that restore the saved information to the device.

  • I have a "?" on my address book icon.

    I have a "?" on my address book icon and it won't open. I am syncing to mobile me. My iPhone and iPad contacts still are there. ideas?

    That means that the Address Book application has either been moved, renamed, or deleted from its original location. Drag the icon out of the dock (that won't do anything to the application itself) then go to your Applications folder and find the Address Book app. Once you've found it, just drag the icon back into the dock where you want it.

  • Missing address book icon

    My address book icon is missing.  I have checked the "show all" and it still doesn't appear.  Any suggestions??  Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The Address Book can't be deleted, so it is there. Look in your folders on the homescreen... applications, etc.

    after updates to ios 5.1.1...i can't add or edit my contacts and also can't take a photo at my contact lists. The '+' icon is suddenly disappear from my screen...anybody can assist me on this issue?

    At last, the BEST solution!
    In addition to my last post, here is the solution for fixing this problem without syncing your contacts with icloud.
    It takes about 2 minutes and permanently solves the problem so you can start adding and editing your contacts again on IOS 5.1.1!
    Basically you just need to follow these steps from the Settings page:
    Enable Airplane Mode
    Go to iCloud settings
    Turn on Contacts
    Agree to 'Merge Contact'
    Wait for pop up to confim iCloud contacts are on
    Turn off Contacts
    Confirm that you want to Keep your Contact on the iPhone
    Wait for pop up to confim iCloud contacts are off
    Disable Airplane Mode
    Airplane Mode temporarily blocks all phone signal/data to stop your contacts merging with icloud.
    Thanks to Washyman and Drewie77 for that info above! I got it from this post and it worked fine.

  • Applications Icon shows Address Book Icon

    I don't know how it happened,  but the Applications icon is showing the Address Book icon on my Dock. How do I change this?
    Thanks for any help.

    Right click or ctrl+click on the Applications stack (icon) in the Dock, select Folder under Display As, and it will no longer display a preview of the contents of the Applictions folder.

  • When sending an email to several people I can't find the address book icon in the tool area

    when sending an email to several people I can't find the address book icon in the tool area that used to be at the top of the Leopard system...if you have 20 individual addressees how do I access my address book? j

    If you don't see the "shadow man" icon, right click the toolbar and select customize..  drag the icon up to the bar.

  • Cant access address book icon

    When I click on my address book icon the cursor locks up and never opens the program. Normal function only resumes when I press the red end key.

    With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
    Try again and let me know?

  • HT201728 my address book on my iMac will not open.  just spinning.

    my address book on my iMac will not open.  just spinning.
    When I search, I cannot find anything that looks like it will help.  something must be contaminated, but I am not a techie and have no clue.

    Having problems with Winmail.dat attachments?  This is really Windows problem but their hubris will not allow them to admit it. 
    Windows does have a global fix for this problem but it is not a general patch - in their KB there is a fix for Exchange servers which cause the winmail.dat problem but most users don't know about it or have it implemented. 
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053http://
    Here is a solution that Apple users can get for $30.  An Austrian program and APP called Letter Opener http://www.creativeinaustria.com/http:// is the solution to seamlessly opening Winmail.dat files. 

  • Hi i'm new to mac so i don't know what happened to the iphoto and address book icons that were on the dock!

    Hello Darwin, & a warm welcome to the forums & Macdom!
    It's easy to drag them up off the Dock, open your Applications folder, drag Address Book from the Window to where you want it in the Dock, rinse & repeat.

  • Address Book's entries have disappeared - all except two

    Hello everyone.
    I'm hoping that members might be able to offer me some advice about a problem I'm having with Address Book.
    I use an intel iMac running OS 10.4.11 and Address Book 4.0.6. This morning I used iSync to synchronise my Palm TX with the iMac and found that all the entries in the Palm's Contacts had disappeared (except for 2 — Apple Computers and my own entry). When I loaded Address Book I found the same situation, all the records were gone except for my own and Apple's. The last time I used Address Book, with no problems, was yesterday at about 2.00pm.
    I've been wandering round the web since then finding a number of variations of my problem and I've tried the solutions suggested, with no luck. I've renamed AddressBook.data.previous as AddressBook.data and I've copied the whole Application Support folder for Address Book from my backup (I clone the iMac onto an external hard drive) to the iMac's hard drive, both without success. I still have the files ABPerson.skindexinverted (220K) and ABSubscribedPerson.skindexinverted (8K), but the data file itself is only 8K.
    One of the discussions I found mentioned records in a MetaData folder for Address Book, so I went to Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/MetaData on the iMac's disk and found 2 files, presumably the two records which are still left in Address Book. Their names begin with a long alphanumeric sequence and continue /ABPerson.abcdp. The same folder on the backup hard disk contains 535 such files. Is it possible that these are the lost records?
    All help gratefully received!
    Susan

    Hi
    Sorry about the delay in replying to your last message, but I've had a print deadline to meet, which always puts everything else on hold.
    I've opened a few of the .abcdp files with Text Edit and the information is in there, buried among loads of code, so many thanks for telling me that. I've beamed the address book from my other half's Palm (which used to be mine) over to mine, so I should have most of the current contacts which I hope I can transfer onto the iMac. The missing ones, distant members of my family for instance, I will have to search for in the .abcdp files and enter manually into AB (always remembering to take a backup regularly!).
    Unfortunately I don't know anyone with a Mac running Leopard, in fact I only know one other person with a Mac. We freed ourselves from the thralldom of the PC only three years ago and are still the odd ones out with colleagues and friends. Having the Macs has made using a computer enjoyable for the first time in 25 years, ever since we bought a Commodore 700 and I began the daily struggle with various pieces of user-hostile software.
    Many thanks for helping me out. I've put Snow Leopard at the top of my shopping list by the way.
    Regards
    Susan
