Address Book.... Need to download Application.

I seem to have erased the application Address Book from an IMAC computer .
I cannot find a software download for just the address book on the Apple Software Downloads.
Is there a simple way to re-install address book?
Thank-you
John JLC

you can not download it. you can reinstall it from the leopard install DVD. first do a spotlight search for "Address Book" and see if it's simply been moved. if it's really gone, pull it from the install DVD using [Pacifist|http://www.charlessoft.com>.

Lost Address Book -- can I download from ipod?

I lost the entire contents of my Address Book, but have all the contacts on my ipod. Can I download the contacts from my ipod and import them back into my address book? One thing -- I currently have my computer set to automatically update my ipod, so I'm afraid as soon as I plug it in it will "update" my ipod with zero contacts. If I switch my ipod to disk use manually and then plug it in to my macbook, will that prevent this from happening? I checked the Library folder and there isn't even an Address Book folder in there at all. Help me!

I am not sure what you were doing when your AB data was lost. But you can check in Library/Application Support/AddressBook if there is a file called AddressBook.data.previous and if it is dated before you lost the data.
Then in the Address Book Application under the File menu there is a choice to Revert To Address Book Back Up. Might be worth a shot.
Good luck!

My address book didn't download onto my new computer

I downloaded Thunderbird when I got my new computer. All my emails came but my entire address book did not. Can anyone tell me how to find it?

We will need some more information before we can help much. Is your new system Windows? Is your old system still operational? Is your email account IMAP or POP3? Was the address book on the old computer or did you use Google Contacts (or some other similar service)?

Address Book missing from Running Applications

I run Address Book and "Open at Login". I'm running MacOS X Lion 10.7.4 and Address Book 6.1.2 on a MacBook Pro. I have just recently noticed that though the Dock shows the little blue indicator that Address Book is running and the Ctrl-TAB shows that Address Book is running, there is no way to bring up Address Book's Window. This started about a week or so ago.
Activity Monitor window also does not show the Address Book in the processes list regardless of the filtering.
Is there a new bug in Address Book?

Hello:
I do not know of any Address Book "bugs," old or new.
You might try trashing a couple of preference files and restarting:
com.apple.addressbook.abd.plist
com.apple.addressbook.plist
com.apple.addressbooksourcesync.plist
If that does not help, try removing the application from your startup items, restart,and see if you can open the application.

Duplicated Every Contact in My Address Book, Need Help Deleting

I recently had to trade in my 8830 for a new one due to warranty issues. I am synced up with my employer's enterprise server and all the contacts I have on that server were re-synced but for some reason, I have two of every contact in my address book now. I had some issues when re-syncing to the server and ran the sync twice. I'm pretty positive it has something to do with that. I'm sure there is a file in the options menu that I can delete, but I need somebody to tell me where it is. If something goes haywire and I end up deleting all my contacts on the server, I'd be screwed. Any help? Thanks

ESS Address Book - Need "Valid as of Future Date" instead of "Valid From"

Hi,
We have implemented ESS (WebDynpro based) with MySAP ERP 2005. We have two independent Portals. On one of the Portals, in ESS address book iview the field comes as "Valid as of Future Date" and this does not allow and past date to enter. Whereas in the second portal the same field is visible as "Valid From". I have checked the settings in IMG and checked the time constraint, everything seems same.
Please help me how can I configure the date in second portal to be "Valid as of Future Date". Is there any configuration that needs to be done in backend/front to do this??
Please help!!!
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
May be you can check the ESS Setting for Address Book.
in the IMG Path
Personnel Management -->Employee Self Service --> Service Specific -->Address Book --> Who's Who --> Selection and Output.
May be in this path , you can for the Country Code, what are the Selection fields set.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Raj

Where is Library/Application Support/Address Book in Time Machine backup ???

I made a fresh install and wanted to copy the file http://www.marco.org/2011/09/10/adding-to-apple-mail-autocomplete to save nuisance with no autocomplete with new mail (as I did last time). But why there is no Address book folder in Library/Application Support as is in the original Library (as I backuped yesterday) ??
Similarly - where is Skype folder (it is in the laptop system/library Application Support but not in the same folder in Time Machine (to copy the chat history).
Where can it be found ? Why Apple makes things so uneasy ?
original Library with the file I need from yesterday backup:
Library from yesterday backup as found on Time Machine:

The ~Library folder effective with Lion 10.7.x
See
http://pondini.org/TM/15A.html
Apple hides the ~/Library folder (meaning the Library folder inside your home folder), from users, apparently to protect us mere mortals from messing with it. That's kind of a problem when we needto.
To see it on a Finder window before entering Time Machine, hold the Alt/Option key while selecting the Go item in the menubar. That will produce a list of common places, including Library (about halfway down). Or, press Shift+Cmd+G and type ~/Library in the prompt. That will show it in the Finder window, and also in the Finder windows once you're in the "Star Wars" display.
If you forget to to do that first, once you're in the "Star Wars" display, press Shift+Cmd+G and type~/Library in the prompt.
(To make it visible permanently, on a "normal" Finder window, drag it into the sidebar.)

Lync 2013 - How to find out if the Full or the Delta address book file is being downloaded

Hello
We have had various issues since upgrade to Lync 2013, specifically, Lync 2013 address book generation and download (bandwidth usage impact).
I was wondering if there is a way to find out which version of AB is downloaded; FULL AB or the Delta file ?
Thanks for your assistance,
Luca

Full address book contains a large set of user and contact object attributes.
Delta files contain incremental updates.
If a client is accessing the URL for the first time and successfully connects, the client attempts to download the current full data file. On subsequent days, the client attempts to download
a delta file based on the last full synchronization date.
Open Lync Configuration Information, check the ABS Server URLs, you can determine where the address book information comes from.

Access Address Book from other applications

Hi there,
How can I access Address Book information from other applications (notably the command line, OpenOffice, etc.)?
In particular, is there a command line utility to access and edit the Address Book?
Thanks!
Brian

One of the best answers would have been the CPAN module: Mac::Glue. Cheers.

Bizarre behavior by Address Book

Two days ago, Address Book started opening Flash Player and loading a particular .swf file whenever I use the popup menu (with ctrl key) to "Send Email". This is on my Macbook Pro 2.33 ghz Core 2 Duo with 2 gb ram.
While not critical, it's a bit of a pain. Anyone have a suggestion?
Cheers.

Have you done a Get Info on that file to see if Address Book shows as the application for opening it; if not, check that and change it to whatever application you need to open that file. If that's not the problem, your Launch Services database may be corrupted and need to be rebuilt.
You can do that with an AppleScript or by downloading Onyx, selecting the Maintenance button and checking the box labeled LaunchServices. You should quit all other applications before running.

Address book SEPARATE from the phone's contact lis...

I want to retire my Palm Pilot and keep all the data on my Symbian phone (5800 xpressMusic). The bulk of the data from my Address Book in the Palm Pilot does not belong in my phone book - mostly business entities for which I only need addresses and large notes. Plus, those familiar with Palm may realize that if I have large notes, the phones Contact list only shows the first line until I go in to edit.
Does anyone know of a separate address book / contacts app that can be downloaded to keep a list that's not in the phone's Contacts? I've been able to replace most of the apps, even my password safe.
Or should I just wait to see if HP, which bought Palm recently, puts out a good phone soon with the Palm OS? (yes, I am joking)

Hi,
I have a similar problem.
My old Palm had the "private" mask that hides all the private information. Such a simple idea.
I couldn't find a complete solution.
But, 2 alternatives:
1) In the Nokia QT Development website there's a simple address book project
2) The application DBViewerPlus let you build simple databases quickly.

Address book vanished

After years of use, my address book has vanished. At least it seems that way. Mail, Skype, etc still find the required data but the disk image is gone and I cannot access the book to add or edit.
I tried updates and apps from the original OS disk that came with the MacBook. I cannot find anything to help.
Please tell me I do not need to reinstall from the original OS which dates back nearly two years.

I'm not sure what disk image you are talking about. Disk images are ".dmg" files that mount as a virtual drive on your desktop when you double-click on them.
It's not quite clear to me, either, whether you mean that your Address Book data is gone or whether there is no Address Book application in the Applications folder (or anywhere else, as near as you can tell, on your hard drive). If that is indeed what you mean, you will have to go to the original Leopard installer DVD but you don't need to boot up from it. There is a folder called "Optional Installs" on the DVD and in it, an installer named "Optional Installs.mpkg." When you double-click on the package installer, you will get to a point where you see "Custom Install on {Your Computer}". Click on the "▸" to the left of Applications then click on Address Book checkbox then continue. After Address Book has reinstalled, download and reinstall the 10.5.8 combo update which can be obtained from http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
IF you mean that you can't find your personal Address Book data, all I can say is that data should be located at /Users/{yourShortUserNameHere}/Library/ApplicationSupport/AddressBook. If it's not, see if you can find a file named "AddressBook-v22.abcddb" (I think that is a common filename for a file in everybody's Address Book data) somewhere on your hard drive. Hopefully, you will find all the other accompanying data files and data folders nearby.
Once you recover (or recreate) your address book data, I would urge you to make portable backup suitable for any sort of address book application, Mac or Windows alike, and for any version of OS X and architecture (PPC or Intel). Simply select all address cards from the Address Book application window and drag it to your desktop. It will create a text-based file named something like "Alice Ames and 89 others.vcf." Double-clicking on it will import all those address cards into any address book application of any OS version and any platform that understands VCF format. A handy thing to have lying around in emergencies.

Address Book won't open.

A friend of mine has an old iMac G4 (10.3.9)
http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/597/imacg41039qq2.jpg
And he just recently bought the latest Macbook, and wanted to transfer all his files over, so I talked him through it, and everything worked fine.
Except he was having an issue with transferring his Address Book over, it was just a case of not knowing how to do it.
So I popped over to his place, and just as I was about to export I noticed all his (100's) address' were duplicated 8 times each!
So I suggested to Merge them all before we do the export, so we selected ALL and clicked on Merge.
Then we got the "Spinning Beach Ball" and I wasn't surprised, as the machine only has about 256MB RAM, I figured it would take a while to process.
But right then, unfortunately there was a power cut in his block for 30 minutes!
When everything came back on we were unable to open the address book!
It bounced once, and then nothing, I could see the small black arrow under the Address book icon in the dock, but there was nothing.
So, this is what I tried to do:
1 - I shut the machine down and restarted holding down the options-command-P-R keys all at once, did the 3 chimes in order to reset the Pram, but no luck.
2 - I took the Address Book out of the Applications Folder and onto the desktop, and tried to open it from there, but still no joy (so I put it back).
3 - I ran 'Disk Utility' which showed nothing.
4 - I went into mail, and was able to open up the email address book there, but I couldn't see the physical real home address' which is what my friend really needs.
And the 'Start Up' 10.3 Install disks got lost long ago, I think!
So now we're stuck. I'd just like to get this whole address book out of this iMac and into the new Macbook.
The intention is to clear the machine up, and pass it on to a younger member of the family as a free gift (in good working order).
I'm sure there must be a way around this, and if anyone can help I'd be very, very grateful...
Right now I'm getting looks from my friend of "I thought you knew what you were doing?" LOL :-D

Hi Tom,
First of all, I'd like to thank you for taking time out to help.
But sadly +(or maybe stupidly)+ he never backed up his Address Book!
I tried what you suggested, but no application would open that 'data file' on the iMac, I then copied it to the desktop of the MacBook, and I had the same problem, I'm just unable to open it!
If you have anymore suggestions, I'd be very grateful?
K.

My Address Book Wish List

Just sent the following to Apple Feedback. Curious to see if any others share similar hopes -- or if any of my requests are in fact already possible, but I've just been too dense to figure out how to do them:
(using AB 4.0.4 under OX X 10.4.8)
Nine Improvements Many Address Book Users (including me)
Would Really Like To See:
1) Phone dialer function.
Since Macs still have internal modems, why not take advantage of the fact and provide users with the option of having Address Book dial the number you've just used Address Book to look up? There are 3rd party apps that do this, but it's the kind of feature that really should be built right in for full compatibility.
2) Auto Fill + Auto Capitalization options for each text field.
Users should be able to designate which text fields do or do not use one or both. (Previous editions of Address Book had a hyper-active auto-fill function, while the latest version seems to have abandoned it altogether.)
The auto capitalization should work the same as when you start typing a name into Mac Mail's "To" field, offering a list of possible matches (different cities, for example), beginning with the one most recently used.
The auto capitalization should be a separate user pref which can be turned on or off for any text field.
3) More display options for Name column
Specifically, it would be nice to be able to have Last Name / First Name for scrolling through the Name column, but still show First Name / Last Name in the individual Card View on the right.
4) More intelligent search capability
For example, by entering a phrase with quote marks, I should be able to see only those cards which contain that exact phrase, not just any card which happens to contain any one of the words in the phrase.
5) Intelligent handling of two-surname couples.
For non-business, personal entries, there's a reality out there which needs to be acknowledged: there are a lot of unmarried couples sharing the same address and basic contact info, AND there are many married couples where the wife has retained her own surname.
Address Book needs to be able to deal with two-surname couples much more intelligently, so that (for example) a search can be run using EITHER surname to access the same card. Also, you've got an Anniversary field, but apparently no option to add a second "Birthday" date (since most couples do have different birthdays).
There needs to be a basic template in which the members of couples with different surnames each get equal "weight" in the database -- and this applies to same-sex couples as well, so the pairs of Surname and Birthday fields should not be automatically designated as "His" and "Hers".
6) Ways to enter partial dates
For certain date fields (such as "Brthday" and "Anniversary"), it's often the case where only a year is know, or a year and a month but not the exact date. Sometimes a date is just a best guess or an approximation. But Address Book seems determined to create a complete date, using the current month and day if none are entered, and not even letting manually erase same after it does.
A little flexibility here, please! I know I can put anything I want down in the Notes field, but couldn't the Birthday and Anniversary ones be made a little less rigid in their formatting?
7) Remember the new template fields when editing
I've added several new fields for the template which appears when I create a new entry. But it's annoying when those new fields all disappear as soon as I then need to edit that entry later on.
You've given us the option to add additional fields to our default template when we CREATE a new entry; why not also give us the option to access those same additional fields (and field names in the pull down lists) when we EDIT the same entry?
This should even apply to entries which were originally created using the original Apple template -- the new fields and field names created by the user should become available whenever you go into Edit mode.
8) Make Distribution Lists easily printable, exportable, and more flexible.
Should be able to select more than one e-address from a particular contact for a distribution list (as in both members of a couple, or both the home and work e-addresses for a particular individual -- instead of having to create a separate card just for those separate e-addresses).
Also like to be able to simply copy/paste a distribution list (and/or Export it as a Tab or Paragraph delineated text file), which I could either print out, or e-mail to a friend who needed it, etc.
9) Hours of Operation field.
For commercial/business entries, a default "Hours" field would be nice, with some sort of easy-to-select options to facilitate entering the times a business, a store, or even a customer service line is open on given days. There should even be the ability to enter seasonal hours for different times of year.
I hope that these features have already been incorporated into the next release of Address Book -- and if not, that you'll give serious consideration to implementing them as soon as possible. Your users will thank you.
