Address Book is Not Working

Suddenly Address Book is not working. I can type addresses into Mail, but if I try to click on names directly from Address Book, nothing happens. It has been working fine until today. Contacts is fine; all addresses are there, but I wanted to enter several people from Address Book and nothing prints. How can I fix it? I have an Imac with Mountain Lion.

It is a Maverick bug and there is a lot of discussion on it in the Mavericks section.

ICloud address book is not working on my laptop

I noticed that address book does not have any cards when I select "Groups". It is working fine on my phone, iPad, and iCloud but not on my laptop. I noticed that on my Macbook Pro all the group are listed as "On my Mac" as opposed to iCloud. Is this a clue to solving the problem? Thanks for your help.

As an update, I noticed that my MacBook Pro Address Book says, "On my Mac" when I look at Groups. Is there a way to have it show what's on iCloud? Thanks for your help.

Adding Faces to Address Book Contacts-Not working!

I tried adding some faces to my Address book's contacts, but the "Face" icon, that is supposed to link you to your iPhoto Library does not work. It is dimmed.
And choosing my iPhoto Library instead, in hopes of being able to access my photos with faces, does not get around this problem.
Anyone know of a fix?
Thanks.

I placed this question up here almost two years ago, and the problem has since resolved itself. I think because I have upgraded my mac's operating system (OS) several times since then.
You might want to check and see if you're using the latest version of Mac OS X (currently 10.8.4). If you're not up-to-date, go into the App Store on your Mac and see if there is an OS update waiting for you. That might help.
Good luck.

Field links in Address Book do not work

"A left click in the field of Address Book opens a contextual menu" does not work. All the fields in my Address Book are light gray, and however I click do, not yield any menu. I know they did a while ago, but did not record with what update this feature became disabled. Any explanation and solution? Thank you!

Hi Ludwig,
Thank you for letting us know about the issue with the links in the document. We will work to fix it.
I believe the document you are referring to is called "SAP Discovery Demonstration Access" which can be found at the bottom of the How To Set Up your Discovery System page and not the "Quick Guide", as the "Quick Guide" doesn't contain any links to demos/scenarios.
In the mean time please go to the Out Of The Box Demonstrations section on the website, you will see there the links to all the demos:

Add to address book function NOT working.

For some reason the "add to address book" function in mail is not working. I option click an address in a received email, select add to address book - then go into my address book and it's not been added. Also when in Mail and I type in an address for an email that I've recently sent it NORMALLY autofills the address in. This is not working either. WTH?
thanks.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem running OS 10.6.6, Mail 4.4 (1082), and Address Book 5.0.3 (875).
When I click the drop-down for an email address in Mail or ctrl-click the email address and choose "Add to Address Book", the address in Mail changes to just the user's name (the address disappears) so that it looks like the address has been added to Address Book. But the address has NOT actually been added. If I then try to "Open in Address Book", Address Book launches but the address displayed is the last address I had open, not the one I supposedly just added.
I haven't rebuilt permissions, but I applied "Read & Write" to all contents of my Applications folder as me, i.e. using my username.
More than a little bit frustrating!
The header for this topic says "This question is not answered. "Helpful" answers available: 2 . "Solved" answers available: 1 .", but I ain't seein' either a helpful or a solved answer. Are they here and I'm just not seein' 'em?

Mail + Address Book - groups not working

I'm able to create groups just fine in Address book.
However when it comes to using them in Mail, they won't work:
I type the first couple of characters and Mail offers to auto-complete,
so it does know about them. When I hit return at that point *nothing*
appears in the address field, it just stays blank.
Any ideas what's going on here and how to fix it?

Hi jwabbit, I was interested in your reply since it sounded easy to implement. However, my issue is similar but is not fixed with your solution.
I have created a group in Mail. It displays fine and when I type the first few letters of the name in the "To" box of a new blank email, the name of the group pops up. However, when I press return it only adds the first 2 names out of 8 in the group.
I have checked that all the names are ones that I have used regularly for some weeks, so they are real emails.
The other thing I tried was to have both Mail and Contacts open at the same time, then selected all the names in the group and tried dragging and dropping over the To box in Mail. However, again it simply adds the first 2 names and ignores the others.
Each of the other 6 names add fine individually, but that defeats the point of setting up the group!
Any thoughts?

GW 7.0.4 - NO Address book & autocomplete not working

Hi, I'm trying to figure out why when I install GroupWise 7.0.4 on a Windows 7 x64 Ent SP1 with ZENworks 11 it installs correctly but the user doesn't have access to any address book. By the way I already know and understand that GW 7.0.4 is not supported on Windows 7. That said here's what I tried so far.
1- Install MS Office 2007, GroupWise 7.0.4, Novell Client 2 SP1 IR8, etc. on Windows 7 x64 Ent SP1 also installed by hand with the DVD. The address book works correctly.
2- Multiple tests by installing by hand or with ZCM 11 on Windows 7 x64 Ent SP1 which is also installed by hand with the DVD. The address book works correctly.
3- Imaging a pc with a new image with our ZCM 11 and deploying MS Office, GroupWise 7.0.4, etc. using ZENworks. Then the address book is totally empty and we can't create, open an existing one, etc. address book.
When installing, using ZENworks, GroupWise I let the default MSI properties that ZENworks offers in place and I'm installing as System. Finally, I use groupwise.mst that I created using the GWTuner utility found in the "GroupWise 7 Admin/Client SP1 Multi-lan".
Code:
GROUPWISEDESKTOP=1 GROUPWISEQUICKLAUNCH=1 ISCHECKFORPRODUCTUPDATES=1 PROGRAMFOLDER="Novell GroupWise" ALLUSERS=2 ARPPRODUCTICON=ARPPRODUCTICON.exe ARPURLINFOABOUT="http://www.Novell.com" CAPTIONPROP="Custom Action Example" DWUSINTERVAL=30 DWUSLINK=CEDB4028A9BB07D89EAC50F8F96B978FF91BF08FCEDC97D8CE1C378F89BC971F59EC274FDEAC FOLDER=0 FOLDERLIST=0 GROUPWISE=1 INSTALLLEVEL=100 INTEGRATIONS=Disabled MAPIPROFILE="Novell GroupWise" PROGRAMFILETOLAUNCHATEND=1 SHOWLAUNCHPROGRAM=-1
So now I'm trying to figure out why my deployment of GroupWise 7.0.4 is giving me problems while doing it by hand doesn't.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Guillaume

I know this probably will not help but I have installed, and have working,
Groupwise 7.0.4 on 32bit and 64bit flavours of Windows7 - we do not run any
Novell clients/Zenworks agents. We used to run Zenworks years ago and seemed
to experience a lot of problems with it, although I am sure others will say
the opposite.
Basic troubleshooting but have you tried installing the Groupwise client on
a non-Zenworked up PC - to at least try and determine if that is causing the
problem?

Mike

Address Book Autofill not working

In OS 10.3.9 while editting the address book it auto-filled based on previous entries (e.g. Country or City name, etc). Since upgrading to 10.4.7 (and 10.4.6 for that matter) this useful feature is gone. I have looked in Preferences to see if I can turn it on, but no luck.
Any tips?
Thanks!

Priscilla,
since many people complained about the way auto-complete worked in 10.3.x (that it was always auto-completing as soon as you typed), its behaviour was changed in 10.4 - you will now have to explicitly trigger the auto-completion by pressing "F5" (which by the way also works in many other applications like Mail, Safari, ...)

Address Book Archive not working

I am trying to move my Address Book from my G4 to my MacBook Pro (both running 10.5.8). The archive creates, I move it over on a USB stick, and then use import/address book archive. It gives me a popup saying that reverting to the archive will wipe out my existing addresses, I respond OK and then nothing happens. The Address Book shows that I still have the original 21 cards, only one shows up. Nothing else happens.
When I close Address Book and then reopen it, it shows the same initial 21 cards.
I've tried this several times, with new archive files.
Thanks,
Eric

The archive works, the unarchive doesn't.
To get around this, right-click on the archive and choose "Show Package Contents." Replace everything in your username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ folder with the contents of the archive package.

TS3276 Some of my groups (created in Address Book) do not work; i.e. the mail simply won't go out, without any notification to me. I understand that if even one address is ill-formed, no mail will go. But I cannot find the offending address. How can th

Some of my groups do not work. I have looked at all the addresses, but cannot find any that are obviously faulty. How can I find which addresses are rejected ?

Eureka. You are right. I just tested closing and reopening Mail and now today's groups work. Regarding editing the existing groups, I found an article from 2011 on CNet that claimed that iCloud disables the Distribution List Editor. The work around is to create a single dummy group under "On My Mac" which will reactivate the editor which can then be used for iCloud groups. I tested this and it works.
Thank you so much for your prompt and helpful comment.

Address Book GROUPS not working w/multiple addresses ?

I made a small group w/ 3 people in it, each with 2-4 emails, but I can't choose which email
it sends to, only the first one.
I selected the group but EDIT DISTRIBUTION LIST is grayed out.
Any ideas ??

Why is google address book sync not working?

I am incorrectly being tol that my password or account is incorrect.

Yes. Why are you asking that in this thread?
Aslo, still happening.

When I compose an E-mail my address book will not open when I click on TO or CC, but it does work on other computers and also if I use explorer.

My address book will not show when I click on the TO or CC button, a mozilla page does open but there is no content. My E-mail accounts work fine on other computers. It also works fine on this computer if I use Explorer instead.
