Address Book opens after quitting

This problem came about a few months ago and it has gotten to the point that I just can't handle that I don't know how to solve it.
My address book is not set to open up when the computer starts up, yet, when i open it to grab some addresses or numbers and go to close it, it will close and reopen but only in the BG, not as a new window. I haven't been able to find the catalyst but when I restart, it's fine until i open address book again.
Weird, i know, but I couldn't find anyone else online that was having this same issue and searching the forums didn't prove to show anything. I would love to hear any and all of your ideas!

I have been having the same problem for several months now. Some days I never see it, others I see it a few times throughout the day. It opens on it's own in the background, sometimes hidden. If I close Address Book, it just opens back up immediately.
I thought it must be one of these old sync apps I used to try and sync Google to my Mac, but I checked and none of them are running (and today I just removed them completely). I see nothing in the console/logs to indicate anything going on. I've cleared the log display and forced AB to close, and as it reopens, nothing appears. You'd think at least some sort of error "Hey, App XYZ was using that!" would show up.
Today in an effort to nail this down I removed gsync from my pref pane (though I think that was only for calendars, and wouldn't connect anyway) and disabled iSync which I had added my old phone to but haven't run in ages since then. I don't know where else to look.

Address books opens then quits

When I open Address Book, it opens fine and then quits after about 8 seconds every time. I don't get any "AB has quit" message afterwards.
I've tried deleting just about every cache and preference file I can think of. Even moved the AddressBook.data file and it opened with no contacts and did the same thing.
If I try moving the AddressBook.data.beforesave or aftersave files I just getting the spinning beach ball and AB never opens.
Any suggestions out there?

Another good suggestion, but no luck. I even tried creating a new user, and the same thing happened. The only difference was that with the new user I got a crash report:

I upgraded to Lion on my MacBook Pro. When I close Address Book it automatically quits. How can I get it to stay open on my task bar?

Hello charlgilbert,
It sounds like you would like to send a text from your phone number on your portable computer. You can do this by setting iMessage to start new conversations from your phone number in the Messages settings:
On OS X, find out which addresses are enabled:
In Messages, choose Messages > Preferences > Accounts.
From: iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

Address Book opens when a script is opened, while script editor was closed

Hi,
Something puzzles me :
I have a very simple script with only these two lines :
tell application "Address Book"
end tell
This script is saved as a simple script.
When I open the script with script editor,
* if script editor was already open, the script opens normally and I can edit it
* if script editor was not already open, then Address Book opens itself (and the script opens itself with script editor)
What explains the opening of Address Book ?
What can I do to avoid this auto-opening of Address Book ?
Thanks for your help,
Nicolas

You were right, the script will not compile. (there are some instruction between the "tell" and the "end tell" lines)
There are a couple of solutions to that one.
The first is that the script will compile if you're only using standard commands like 'activate', 'quit', etc. inside the tell block - these commands are universal, supported by all applications, and therefore you don't need the application dictionary.
If you are using application-specific commands, though, then you can provide the Script Editor a hint as to which dictionary to use via the using terms from command.
This tells the compiler which application dictionary to use when compiling the script, but it shouldn't affect opening the script. If you're only targeting one application and don't mind this workaround, it could be your solution:
-- here's our target application
set appName to "Address Book"
-- let's target it
tell application appName
  -- now provide the compiler a hint as to which application dictionary to use
  using terms from application "Address Book"
    -- commands go here
  end using terms from
end tell
When it comes to compile the script, AppleScript will use the application in the using terms from statement instead of the (unknown) application in the tell statement.

ADDRESS BOOK Opens Unexpectedly? Usually with Widgets or shut down.

New Apple user here. New Macbook owner.
So at ramdom times my Address Book suddenly opens and quickly closes again. I have no clue why. I've noticed it USUALLY happens when i press f12 to check my Widgets. When this occurs, the Widgets pop up and Address Book opens as well for like one second and then quickly disappears again.
The same goes when I shut down my macbook. After pressing shut down, address book will do the same thing.
Now, this doesnt happen everytime but usually at one point during my day address book quickly pops and disappears.
Any help?

Well, it looks like you’ve already identified the problem yourself. One of those widgets clearly needs Address Book to be running at some point for whatever it does...

Address Book opens up ramdomly

Hey guys,
after 2.5 years on a Mac I have the first problem I couldn't solve myself.
I'm on 10.7.3 with all of my contacts on iCloud syncing with my iPhone.
For a few weeks now Address Book opens up unintentionally with hidden window.
Console log says
11.03.12 18:05:12,474 Address Book: ServerNotifications: Setting delegate to APSD
11.03.12 18:05:14,748 Address Book: Subscription request completed
11.03.12 18:05:18,655 Console: _mthid_copyDeviceInfo(288230377744881384) failed
It's alway these three lines occuring there.
I assume it has something to do with iCloud. I asked google but nothing really helped as there seems no problem like mine.
I hope you can help me here.
Thanks in advance.

Address Book opens when Mails does

Every time I open Mail, 9 out of 10 times Address Book opens with it.
This has been going on for weeks now and it really starts to irritate me.
Anyone else having the same problem? I would appreciate any solution.
Thanks

I just noticed that when I quit Address Book and Mail stays open for a while, Address Book starts up again just a few minutes later.

Address Book - Open Window Shortcut?

If I have Address Book open and close the main window (command-w), there does not seem to be a Keystroke that will re-open that main window. Instead, I have to go to the WINDOW menu and mouse-select "Address Book". This is a pain when I want to quickly find a contact.
I have tried to add a shortcut using the Keyboard preferences panel, but that does not seem to work either.
For an every-day utility, this seems to be awkward for a common action. Am I missing something? Appreciate any responses. Thx.

Hi,
It's a bit more key work than you probably wanted, but you can press control+F2 to activate the menu bar and then use the arrow keys to navigate to the Window menu.

Thanks

Address Book opens at Startup

For several days now, my Address Book application opens at startup to the first vCard in my address book. I have not added any software or new widgets in some time. This just started to happen. I read through previous threads which indicated that the address book widget could be opening it. I disabled it and the problem still exists. I have repaired permissions and even disabled all widgets and it still opens at startup. Is there something else opening the application at startup? Any suggestions?

I switched to Mac over two years ago and thought I new a few things. I have been humbled. My four year old daughter must have somehow checked the address book open at login tab in the dock. Than you for the help.

Address Book Opens Automatically and will not close (even with Force Quit)

The address book automatically opens at times and I cannot close it. Even with a force quit, I cannot close it. It takes up over 80% of CPU cycles when it opens automatically. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks
Robby

This is happening to me too. Has occurred on MBP 17" about six or seven times over the past couple of weeks. Have not been able to replicate it. But recently suspect that it may be related to auto syncing and/or syncing my iPhone 3G.
Anyone else have an idea?

Address Book Disappears After Opening

My address book flies up above the top of my screen when I open it. It will appear when I hit F3, but then it disappears again when I click on it to open the page.
I can move the application to different desktops, where I can see the very bottom of the window, but am unable to use the mouse to drag it down to where it can do me any good.
On a frustrating meter, it's probably a five-and-a-half, or six. It's been like this for several weeks, and I probably ought to get this figured out before too much longer.
My software all seems to be updated. I've force quit the application, rebooted the machine, and nothing seems to be giving me any satisfaction.
I thank you in advance for any help you can give me on this one.
Peace,
Paul

Well, as a place to start, I would recommend you go to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utilities>select your Harddrive in the list at the left and run Repair Permissions twice. If that doesn't solve it I would next reboot the computer while holding down the Command - R keys to boot into the Lion Repair Partition, and there select Utilites and run Disk Repair. That may solve your problem.
Hope this helps

Can't open an archived address book group after emailed

The only way i know to email a group in the address book is to archive it. How do you open it after you receive it thru email.

You don't need to archive it. For one thing, an archive will replace the entire contents of your address book when you double-click on it.
You only have to drag the group to an open email message or onto the Mail icon in the dock. You can also drag it to a folder on the mac to create a vCard of the group.

Mail & address book crash after iPhone sync & will not open

Ever since I synced my iphone last night I cannot open my mail app or the address book app. Everytime I open them they crach before getting open. Any thoughts?
I I delete my prefs will I loose my mail accounts and address book file? Also if I delete prefs should I do a restart? then try and open the apps again?
I have already tried to repair permissions.
Here is the text from report that the app wants to send to apple... http://pastie.caboo.se/75012

I dumped my prefs and restarted and was able to get mail and address book to open. I did have to re-setup my mail account though mail still had all my folders thanks goodness...
New problem though now my phone won't sync. When I connect it to the dock iTunes says that there is an error and it cannot sync. I was getting something like that before and I had to do a restore on the iPhone software.

Mac address book blank after MS Office update

After using the stupid MS Office Updater on prompt, I find that all my contacts are missing from my Mac Address Book! I didn't even install Outlook but the stupid Updater did. My contacts aren't there though and sync is off.
I tried restoring the Address Book folder in the Library/Application support from Time Machine. Nothing.
I tried deleting the AddressBook-v22.abcddb file. Still nothing.
I tried deleting com.apple.AddressBook.plist. Nope. And the other prefs file, too.
I've tried these things several times, different sequence, restarting, yadayada.
I've been troubleshooting my own Mac's since the MacPlus and never been so stumped! I hate M$!
Ran this in terminal:
ls -aleO Library/Application Support/AddressBook
ls: Library/Application: No such file or directory
ls: Support/AddressBook: No such file or directory
leslie-wintners-MacBook-Pro:~ leia$
(No such file or directory?!!!!)
I will appreciate some expert advice and direction here. Thanks!

Hi sig, Thanks for the reply.
My Address Book was fine before installing this update. The earliest TM I have? And lose all the work I've done on this machine?
I've seen reports that other people had their contacts moved from Address Book to Outlook after this update. So, it seems very likely. Either it's the Update or the PowerPoint I opened that prompted me to update had a virus!
Since I posted, I went to the Genuis Bar, where I surprisingly got lectured about recovery is not what they do, and they could spend only 15 minutes with a customer, spending most of the time on the lecture, ultimately refering me to an expert. He found corruption on my HD and told me to wipe the drive and restore from backup. Ughh.
However, I reran DU and repaired the disk, tested the hardware even. DU reports the disk is ok now.
Yet, no Address Book.
Before I resort to wiping, I'm wondering if I could detect if I had a received a rare Mac virus...
