ADDRESS BOOK OPENS IN BACKGROUND WHEN DASHBOARD OPENS

When I open Dashboard from the dock, it also opens my Address Book in the background. When I close Dashboard, the Address book closes. Does anyone know why and how to correct this?

Well guys, by listing the widgets I have, I figured out that I have the Address Book widget in dashboard. So, obviously, that's why it was opening Address Book when I pulled up Dashboard. Duh......
At least your request made me think Thanks for your time.....have a good day!

  • System Preferences, Address book, and ical suddenly won't open

    As I said My system Preferences, Address book, and ical suddenly won't open. This seemed to have happen all at once. The only unusual thing to happen lately is that my ipod was corrupted and I resored it last night. Now when I try to open these programs I get one or two bounces on the icon, then nothing. My other programs including itunes seem to work fine. There are no error messages at all.

    /System/Library/Frameworks/Message.framework/Versions/B/Message (file is empty)OK, this is an important part of your basic system and will need to be restored.
    First you should boot from your Install Disk and repair your disk: see Using Disk Utility and fsck to resolve startup issues or perform disk maintenance.
    Then I think you would be wise to consider an Archive & Install. See Mac OS X : About the Archive and Install Feature. This should put back the missing file(s). You will also then need to re-apply the Mac OS X 10.3.9 Update (Combo), and anything else Software Update says is missing.
    Post back and let us know how you get on!

    Having problems with Winmail.dat attachments?  This is really Windows problem but their hubris will not allow them to admit it. 
    Windows does have a global fix for this problem but it is not a general patch - in their KB there is a fix for Exchange servers which cause the winmail.dat problem but most users don't know about it or have it implemented. 
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053http://
    Here is a solution that Apple users can get for $30.  An Austrian program and APP called Letter Opener http://www.creativeinaustria.com/http:// is the solution to seamlessly opening Winmail.dat files. 

  • Can email be kept open in the background when you open a web page?

    Can email be kept open in the background when you open a web page?
    Thanks, that helped.

    If you mean using the mail app - yes it can be kept open. You do not have the multiple open windows feature in iOS like on a computer so you still have to navigate back to the mail app via double tapping the home button or by swiping to switch apps if using multitasking gestures.

  • Organizer shows all thumbnails when opening, but if one selected it opens on that when re-opened???

    The two books I have neithor offererend an explanation of how to get back to all thumbnails instead of the last one shown before closing.
    Help, Help...

    'but if one selected it opens on that when re-opened???'
    Are you saying that if you double click an image in Organizer (so that Organizer now shows single image) and re-launch it you are shown only one image (which was doble clicked last time)? If that is so, then it as as designed that is Organizer remembers your settings from last session. To see all your thumbnails you can click on arrow back button on top left hand corner in PSE10 or earlier (in PSE11 you have 'back' button shown on sort by bar). Please let me know if I missed something.

  • When I connect my iPhone to my PC iTunes no longer automatically opens. And when I open it myself, I can't even find my phone under devices. Help please!

    When I connect my iPhone to my PC iTunes no longer automatically opens. And when I open it myself, my phone does not even appear under devices. Help please!!

    Things to try:
    Try resetting your phone (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds until the Apple logo appears.  When you see the Apple logo let go of both buttons and your iPhone will reboot.
    Try a new sync cable (often the problem)
    Make sure you phone is adequately charged
    Make sure you are using latest version of iTunes

  • I have a file that was created in FH 11 and I am using same version.Originator opens file and everything is fine and also earlier version opens it fine.when I open it the links shift 1/8" up and left.Has anybody had this happen to them

    I have a file that was created in FH 11 and I am using same version.Originator opens this file and everything is fine and also an earlier version opens it fine.When I open it it shifts the links 1/8" up and to the left.Has anybody ever had this happen to them?

    What file format(s) are the "links"?
    If raster images, do they contain clipping paths or transparency?
    What is your platform and OS?
    Were the FH documents created on the same platform (Mac or PC) as the one you are currently using?
    Were the linked files created on the same platform (Mac or PC) as the one you are currently using?
    Can you reproduce the problem with a newly created document and the same linked images?
    There was once an issue with transparent 1-bit TIFF images shifting, but I believe that was in a previous version of FH.

    Iam trying to download data from a group in my address book into Numbers.  When I click on the data to move and drag to Numbers nothing happens.  Using OS X ver 10.9.2 iMac

    With Numbers 3.2 (released April 2014) drag and drop works on my machine again, either onto the canvas or into an existing table.
    What also works (as Wayne described): select multiple contacts, command-c to copy, and (after clicking the canvas or a cell) command-v to paste.

  • Firefox opens mutiple tabs when I open a bookmarked page

    Firefox opens mutiple tabs when I open a bookmarked page. When I go to the next bookmarked page Firefox opens all previous tabs that I have recently opened

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:

  • History window opens by default when i open a new window or restart firefox. How can i get rid of that ? its annoying.

    History window opens by default when i open a new window or restart firefox. How can i get rid of that ? its annoying

    If the History sidebar is closed when you close Firefox and doesn't stay closed on the next start then that can be problem with the file localstore.rdf in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete localstore.rdf or rename the file to localstore.rdf.sav in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to test if the file is corrupted.<br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf<br />
    (caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
    Note:<br />
    Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.<br />
    You can rename "localstore.rdf" to "localstore.rdf.sav" to test if that solves it.<br />
    Then you can restore the customization by copying "localstore.rdf.sav" to "localstore.rdf" if it didn't work.<br />

  • Address book crashes whenever I try to open it.

    Whenever I try to open Address Book, I receive the messge, "Address Book quit unexpectedly."  Problem Details and System Configuration are then shown, with the option to click "OK" or "Reopen." 
    Most of the time, when I click "Reopen," I receive the message: "Restore Windows.  The application 'Address Book' unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows.  Do you want to try to restore its windows again?"  I am then given the choise of clicking, "Don't Restore Windows" or "Restore Windows."
    In general, I've been clicking "Restore Windows," although I really do not know what that means.
    This problem started as soon as I installed 10.7.  Gradually, it has been getting worse, in that the crashes are now occurring every time I try to open Address Book.  Also, increasingly, the program requires several cycles through the choices given above, before it will open and stay open, though sometimes it crashes after having been open for a while, too.

    I did some more rooting, and may have a solution...
    I had a similar problem--changed a calendar entry on my iPhone this evening, then later synched it with my Mac. Saw that all contacts on the iPhone, and in the Address Book on the Mac were gone. Got home, went to my TimeMachine backup, which would crash any time I tried to restore Address Book. Tried deleting Address Book, but was only presented with a dialog that it was impossible, since AB is part of the system. Had a sense it was some type of file/DB corruption. Was at wit's end, but found a solution:
    As you see in the screen grab above--these are the files that need to be replaced via TimeMachine--the only catch is to find these library files in Lion, from the desktop, you need to hold down Option while clicking Go in the menu--there you will see your library, and can go from there. So far, I've done a sync between the iPhone and the Mac, and all appears to be in order.
    Luckily, I use Outlook as my main contact manager, so it merely is an annoyance insofar as synching, but still...
    Hope this can help with your situation...

  • Address  Book freezes a few seconds after opening:  'non-reponsive'

    Address Book Menus show but get beach ball of death in a few seconds. Does open normally under alternate user. Status: have reloaded and updated 15.3 with auto restoration of settings and have deleted various Address Book .plists and all 'Address Book Files' all to no avail. User doesn't use Mail, but has Skype operating. Haven't checked to see if Mail opens correctly. Obviously I can't open permission. i'll need help on how to implement suggestions. Thanks in advance.

    I fixed the problem. FYI, it was a font problem. It turns out that somehow I had acquired a duplicate of Helvetica. I could tell there was a duplicate because there was a bullet to the right of the listing in FontBook.
    To fix, highlight the font (Helvetica) and go to Edit/Resolve Duplicates.
    Address Book now opens and I can access all my contacts.
    In addition, it resolved a problem I had with the computer not shutting down. AND it resolved the problem of my Mail icon in the Dock not showing the little red circle when I had unread mail.
    I am thrilled.
    Help this might help anyone else.
    Sincerely,
    Gale

  • Address Book V4.1.2 can't open in 10.7

    Just purchased new imac with os 10.7.3
    Used the Migration application to transfare from my old imac os 10.5.8 which is now networked with the new imac
    When I try to open the address book ( v 4.1.2 ) on the old mac vis the new imac I get message saying version not compatable (or similar)
    How can I  safely transfare contents of address book onto new imac -?
    Thanks in advance

    Migration should have done that. However, if it did not, two things to try:
    1) on the old Mac, run Address Book and Export the address book to an address book archive (file menu). Move that to your new Mac and double-click.
    2) copy the contents of your old user/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder into your new user/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder and start up Address Book on the new Mac.
    Both of those things actually do the same thing, but the first is packaged up nicely.

  • I downloaded a book on iBook and when I opened it all I got was a gray screen and I can't go back to my library. Help! How do I get rid of the gray screen and go back to my library?

    I downloaded a book on iBook but when I tried to open it all I got was a empty gray screen. I can't do anything. How do I go back to my library? There are no icons, nothing.... Help

    If tapping the book doesn't give a button at the top left to go back to your Library, then try closing the iBooks app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with iBooks 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
