Address book in Mavericks

After installing Mavericks over Snow Leopard, what happens to the address book?
I see what looks like the address book in contacts in Mail, but how do you edit it?

Hi,
I have the following problem. When I updated to Mavericks (from snow leopard), the folder name "Address Book" did not change into "Contacts".
I could see that all data were still there (library/application support/address book/metadata) but when I opened "contacts" in dock it displayed "0" elements.
I could display my contacts only through Mail, which is very strange, because I could not open it in Contacts.
Again, my identity in Mail was wrong: I received the eMails with the name of client of mine (who is in my address book). The address was correct, but the label was and is still wrong.
Then I've changed the folder name from "address book" into "contacts" and now, when I open it from the docks, it display 2 elements.
1) Apple GmbH (Ltd. in Germany)
2) My personal contact data (but I had to enter all my data again). Concerning this I my be wrong but I think that before it displayed my contact/identity as "me" and now it doesn't (name/family name/company...)
I can't retrieve the data in the metadata folder.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Silvio

  • How can I migrate from Outlook 2011 to iCal and Apple Address Book in Mavericks now that synching is no longer possible?

    Now that I am on Mavericks and no longer able to sync between my iPhone/iPad and Outlook 2011 on my MacBook Pro, I'm finally taking the leap (which I should have done long ago) and abandoning Outlook 2011 all together (doesn't help that Outlook now prompts me to rebuild by Identity multiple times per day). I am hoping to export from Outlook to iCal, Address Book, etc, but I would love it if someone could check my steps.
    Delete iCal and Apple Address Book content -- Because I have old data in iCal and Address Book (that was synched before I upgraded to Mavericks), I planned to delete this data as follows:
    Manually deleting my multiple calendars in the iCal app
    Go to Go>Home>Library>Calendars and drag "Calendar Cache" to trash
    Go to Go>Home>Library>Caches and drag "com.apple.iCal" and "com.apple.AddressBook" to the trash
    Go to Go>Home>Library>Application Support and drag "Address Book" to the trash
    Export Outlook 2011 Calendars to iCalIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into iCal? I will use this file format to individually export each of my calendars from Outlook 2011 and import them into iCal.
    Export Outlook 2011 Contact List to Apple Address BookIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into Apple Address Book?
    Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi acs4055,
    As per your query I found a relevant solution for resolving this,  actually I haven’t tried the steps you wrote here in your query.  But I found a solid key answer for exporting from Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.1) Outlook 2011 to iCal for Apple mail. This is possible through Drag and Drop method via this you can undoubtedly migrate Outlook 2011 Calendar to ical format.
    Hope it will assist you and you will be able to attain a desired solution.

  • Mail does not send emails out of address book under Mavericks

  • How to back up Address book in Mavericks

    Can anyone guide me to the filing location of my Contacts List

    Hi...
    In Contacts / File
    select Export / Contacts Archive
    It will save your contacts as a single file.
    Export as PDF in the same menu, for something you can read...
    Regards

  • Address book slow on mavericks

    I have a early 2008 Mac pro desktop with 6 gigs of ram. After I installed Mavericks my address book (which is very large) takes forever to do anything. It takes 30 seconds to click on something. It was super fast on OS 10.8. Is there anything I can do to rebuild it or make it faster?

    I just noticed that there is no address book in Mavericks and that it has changed to Contacts instead. When I copied all of my applications to the new system I guess the address book copied from my older system. That might be why it is not working.

    Old Entourage is POP and new Mavericks MAIL  is IMAP I believe. I don;t know how to export in the forms you mention. Frances

  • Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB to iPhone or iPad and permits only syncing by iCloud, which I don't want to use.  Any ideas on how to sync without using iCloud?

    Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB cable from my MacBook Air to my iPhone and iPad and permits  syncing only by iCloud.  Mountain Lion permitted this via the Info tab on iTunes.  I don't want to use iCloud.  Any ideas with Maverick on how to sync Address Book and Calendar from computer to iPhone and iPad without using iCloud?

    ymcneil - thanks for the work around. But isn't it amazing Apple forces us to do this to maintain our privacy.
    I live in Australia where there are good privacy laws protecting  citizens. I do not want to be forced to use iCloud when the data sits in  the USA with weaker privacy laws and also able to be seen by the US  Government under the Patriot Act. Further I suspect Apple will  interrogate my contacts and calendar for commercial purposes and I do  not want that either.
    I  chose to synch my calendar and contacts with my iphone and ipad. I have  relied for years on carrying around my phone with my diary on it. I can  no longer do that.
    Whoever  made this decision at Apple has to be someone who knows little about  the world. I can actually see EU regulators getting very annoyed by  this.
    I too woud like the itunes mac to iphone/ipad local backup given back.
    In the meantime - thanks for the work around

  • What is the deal with the new Mavericks version of the Mail program..?  I cannot simply double click in the address book to place names in the address line?

    I can no longer simply double click on a name in the contacts list to place that name into an an email??
    You now have to select a single name(or a group), and hit the "TO" button.
    Have the engineers at Apple gone nuts??  They just made it more difficult to add names??  Are they going for a windows workability??
    If anyone out there can tell me how to go back to this feature, please, please let me know..
    Adding addresses is now not working very well....??  Please help!
    Randy

    OK, JUST TO CLARIFY:  I OPEN MY MAIL PROGRAM.  I then start a new letter.  I then click on the little person icon button which opens up the address/contacts list.  This action does not open up the address book as such.
    I simply want to select various contacts from the list.  But now I can no longer simply go down the list to double click on those contacts that I want to automatically drop into the TO field of my new message.  It does not work any longer in Mavericks??
    Now I have to click on each contact, and then go up, and click again on the TO button ....
    Can Apple please stop making tasks more difficult??  The previous version worked great, and now it has been upgraded so that it doesn't work as simply as it did??
    Frustrated.!!!

  • Can I transfer/migrate my mail address book from my old G5 OS 10.4.11 to a new Maverick 10.9.4 ?

    Can I transfer/migrate my mail address book from my old G5 OS 10.4.11 to a new Maverick 10.9.4 ?

    Thank you so much! I actually need help transferring my old address book with all my contacts and their e-mail addresses. I had trouble setting up mail so I used my internet provider's webmail to send and receive mail, but that is fixed now.
    If I have to manually enter each contact, I'll do that, but it sure would be nice if there was a way to transfer the address book.
    Thanks again.

  • Post Mavericks Upgrade, Address Book and Multiple emails

    I have upgraded to OS Mavericks.
    I'm seeking to use the groups in my Address Book to easily email multiple address.
    How to do this in one "double click," rather than having to enter each address individually?

    I just figured it out.  Go to Address Panel under Window, your address book including groups with names and email addresses will appear.  Click on the contacts you want to send and click "To:" on the upper left corner, an email with those recipeents will appear! 

  • Has anyone found a solution to sending mail to groups in Mavericks? I've been given 2 approaches - 1 to type user name group into address and the other to go to address book and right click on group. Neither are satisfactory. Does anyone have a solution?

    Has anyone found a solution to sending mail to Groups in Mavericks? I've been given two solutions - neither are satisfactory. One is to type name of group into address line, the other is to go to address book and right click on group.

    thanks a lot for your kind help... saved me a lot of time and effort, could not believe it at first that the process is so simple but once i followed the steps it worked fine. appreciate your help.

  • I've just re-installed OSX mavericks and attempted to add contacts from address book, how do I do this?

    if you need any further details please ask away. I'm going full Noob today.

    Hey, thanks for the reply.
    I've actually resolved the question myself (Yay for me) I reinstalled mavericks and tried to restore my data using time machine. For whatever reason address book didn't copy over and neither did my iTunes library, I managed to find the answer to my iTunes query on another forum... Lol can you believe it was just the case of deleting two folders and voila! It worked... after two hours of searching.
    Anyways, I found the path for all the address book files. They had little lock icons on them (weird i know) which indicated that they were locked files????? Don't know why... So (I'm done soon I promise) I unlocked all the files and viola! they were accessible by address book/contacts again.
    Thanks for getting back to me though, I gave you a "This helped me" and a like just for taking the time to care.
    Cheers,

  • Address Book and Groups vanished with Mavericks download.  Is there a way to get them back?

    Downloading Mavericks caused my Address Book and all associated email Groups to vanish along with all Bookmarks.  Does anyone know of a way to get them back?  I wish I had backups of these items, but it seems to me that the wise and sophisticated designers of Mavericks could have provided for incorporating existing data.
    My printer which had been functioning perfectly under Mountain Lion suddenly showed up as disconnected.  By good luck a download of new drivers from HP allowed me to print again.
    I am annoyed that Apple did not make Mavericks seamlessly integrate existing data durng the download.
    Oh well, it is what it is, so I'd be grateful for any ideas (other than beating me up because I don't have backups - I've already smacked myself around about that!)
    John

    Thanks Guys,
    Yes the iCloud seems to be enabled but I don't find a backup for the missing items, or perhaps I don't know how to access it.  I haven't been able to find a way to open the backup files.
