Address Book no longer works after installing Lion on MAC Book Air.

Ive checked my updates and it is not one of them. I am new to MAC and I am clueless as to what to do. Any suggestions?

By when you write "click on the address book", I'll presume you mean you click on the Address Book icon in the Dock.  Did you ever move around things in the Applications folder?  In general, it's not a good idea to move Apple's applications from their normal locations.
To verify this, click-and-hold on the Address Book icon, then when the pop-up menu appears, roll to "Options", then to "Show in Finder".  I'll guess that the folder of the resulting window is not of the Applications folder.
To fix the problem in the short run, drag the Address Book icon out of the Dock.  Then open the Applications folder, find Address Book, and drag it to the Doc.  Eventually you'll want to delete the old applications, but in Lion that's harder to do than previously.

  • Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software update, startup disk, iCloud, etc. no longer will launch. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use. No go!

    Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software Update, Startup Disk, iCloud, Time Machine, Notifications, etc. no longer will launch even though they do show their icons in the system preferences window. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use with a "Cancel" or "OK" choice. After I click on "OK" the window just keeps reappearing with the same choices and the pane I wish to use still remains inoperative. Third party preference panes DO work.
    Reinstalling OSX Mountain Lion did not help. Neither did throwing away preferences.plist.

    Hi Jeff,
    Tried to reply with my iPhone but not easy! Anyway, back on the laptop now. Yes the crash was bad but Tek support at Prism Sound was really good. In the end I rebuilt the whole system on a new disk which took a couple of days with all the plugins, softsynths etc.... but there seemed to be no alternative in my case, and this was agreed with Prism sound as being the only alternative left to me. I still don't really know what caused the crash but ML and Orpheus are both working fine now. Let's face it, you'll have to update at sometime..maybe best to pick some time between projects On balance, I suspect that my problems were unique to my system and that your installation will go ok.
    Hope it goes well,
    Rick

  • Some USB ports no longer working after installing Mountain Lion?

    Some of my USB ports are no longer working after installing Mountain Lion onto my 21' 2011 iMac. I used to plug in my iphone 4S and charge it, or transfer files onto my iPad but none of the ports no longer work to do this. Funnily enough, other equipment plugged into the works. I have tried changing the cable. Any ideas?

    In my experience, the USB ports on the back of an Apple monitor can be re-enabled simply by unplugging and plugging back in the device in question. You might also check to see that the USB Monitor hub shows up in System Profiler. My Apple monitor USB ports experienced no changes in moving to 10.4.7.

  • My ImageClass MF4380dn Cannon Multifunction Copier driver no longer works after installing Mavericks. How can I resolve this?

    My Image Class MF4380dn Cannon Multifunction Copier driver no longer works after installing Mavericks. I have checked with Cannon and they do not list my partricular machine among their driver updates. Is there another place to download a driver suitable for Mavericks?

    Your MF4380dn is supported by the latest UFR2 v10.4.0 driver that supports 10.9. Here is a link from the Canon Australia web site,
    http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100491502.html
    Before installing this driver, please remove the MF4380 from Printers & Scanners (unless you have already performed the reset that Carolyn mentions which will remove it for you). Then run the v10.4.0 installer and when it has completed, open Printers & Scanners and add the MF4380.

  • Drag and drop to photo shop no longer works after installing Apple "Photos"; It was working fine before the latest Apple update (10.10.3) . what can be done?

    drag and drop to photo shop no longer works after installing Apple "Photos"; It was working fine before the latest Apple update (10.10.3) . what can be done?

    Nothing. It's nothing to do with PSE; this is a limitation of Photos, as is the loss of being able to use an external editor without exporting copies of your images.

  • My telus email no longer works after installing the new os Yosemite

    my telus email no longer works after installing the new os Yosemite

    This is a problem between Telus and Yosemite.  Telus, of course, blames Apple. 
    Check the box that says "Allow insecure authentication"  That will get your email working.
    However, this box will get un-checked when you stop start Mac Mail.  The next time you start Mail, you'll have to re-check it for each Telus account.  (This is the bit that Apple needs to fix.) 

  • My iPhoto doesn't work after installing lion?

    My Iphoto doesn't work after installing lion.
    it suggest that I have to instal iphoto again.
    where can I find this

    If it suggests that you install iPhoto again, install iPhoto again. In your Macs Box that it came in there should be 2 Discs, one is an Applications CD (You need this one) And another is the Mac OS X.
    Insert your Applications CD and hold C while the computer is starting up, then you will be walked through the installation of Applications.

  • Buit in ethernet don't work after installing Lion

    Built in ethernet don't work after installing OSX 10.7 on my MacBookPro 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 15.
    Someone else has the same problem?
    On my MacPro 2 x 2.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon it's not working good, i have to do a restart to get internet connection.
    Is there somebody who has te same problem and has a solution?

    Something does look odd to me unless it's a typo in your post.
    This look like what I'd expect from the NetGear Router - not form the modem. That is when You browse the router stats (http:/192.168.1.1)
    I work with a modem with te folowing preverences:
    Wan IP address    87.211.205.210
    Lan IP address     192.168.1.1
    Primery DNS server       62.58.50.5
    Secondary DNS server   62.58.50.6
    and a separate router Netgear WGT624v3
    This is not exactly what I would expect from System Preferences/Network
    the system preferences for the network are
    Configure       by DHCP
    IP address     192.168.1.15
    Subnetmask  255.255.255.0
    Router           192.168.5.1  <<<<<<<<<<< this should be 192.168.1.1??????
    DNS              208.67.222.222
                         208.67.220.220
    The Router address in System Preferences/Network should be the same as the LAN IP Address. In this case it's on a different network.
    If this is not a type then this is a problem!
    Not sure how it got to be that way.
    Does it persist when resetting the modemand router?/

  • Launchpad Gestures doesn't work after install Lion

    Hey people, I have this problem, after install Lion all gestures works properly, but Launchpad and Show desktop doesn't work even with the option in the Trackpad enabled.
    Anybody can help me please.
    Kind regards.

    Here are my best suggestions for your camera problem:
    • If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
       suggestions do not help you, continue with the following.
    • Use Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
       download and apply the 10.7.2 Combo Update:
         http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459
    • Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
       that completes the Combo update.
    The Combo version of updates can sometimes correct
    strange problems like yours.
    For camera problems in web video, you may need to update to the current version of Flash: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If you need to update Flash, follow Adobe's instructions and uninstall your old Flash before installing the new one: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90893.html

  • ITunes no longer works after installing IOS7

    iTunes does not work after installing iOS 7

    Try switching the "Block cookies" setting in Safari from "Always" to "From third parties and advertisers" and then reboot.  This worked for me without having to reload iOS7 or reset all settings. Good luck. 

  • After installing Lion OSX on Macbook Air, no longer wakes from sleep

    Since installing Lion and after update to 10.7.4, Mac book Air no longer wakes from sleep. Have to hold pwr key for a few seconds and restart. Tried resetting SMC and PRAM but no effect.

    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    If there's no change, do as follows.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Megstick128 no longer works after installing SP2 on WinXP

    As far as I can tell, once I installed SP2 for Winxp, I can no longer use my Megastick128. It appears to recognise the device but no longer sets up the drive so I can transfer files.
    Has anyone else had this problem? How the hell do I rectify it?
    (And don't say 'simply don't install SP2'!!)
    Thanks.
    Simon.
