Address Book pic not used for Buddy Icon

Hi there,
The buddy icon for everyone I chat with is a default blue globe . . . I know these people, my brother for example, have a photo selected for themselves in their address book. Why is there address book photo not appearing as their buddy icon?
Thx!

Hi Krischips22,
First of All click once on one Buddy.
Use the Apple Key and I together (Get Info)
Go to the Screen name in the drop down
IS this the same Pick as shown on the Address Card in the dropdown ?
Is there an Option selected that says Use the Pic ?
Are they in your Address Book ?
DO you have a Pic there for them ?

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.

Why when I try to update certain app it require an old email address and password I have not used for years and I do I get to update them on my new details

Why when I try to update certain app it require an old email address and password I have not used for years and I do I get to update them on my new details

Apps are tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them and you will always need to use that ID and password in order to update them.
Saying that you do get to update them on your new details makes no sense at all.

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.

Address Book will not open after 10.3.9 update (plus others)

I've seen some close postings on this but not exactly:
Doing maintainance on someone's iBook 900 mhz, 640 RAM, and did a boatload of updates after running Main Menu Batch scripts. I tested all apps afterwards and Address Book turned from normal to generic icon when I tried to open it.
Here's a few items:
Ran several tests, permissions, reinstalled Combo update to no avail
Address Book does open within Email app
Not Font Book issue
Address Book says size is 561K(?) in Info, and has only one address in it
Tried and failed moving preference plist file out
I'm not sure if this was working before I ran updates, but assume the mass of updates hosed it.
Thanks in advance if you have any insights. Would like to return it in close to working order.

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, use Pacifist to reinstall Address Book from the Panther installation disks.
Finally, if the version of the system software on your installation disks is earlier than what you're using now (and only in that case), then you must also reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you're using, to bring the Address Book application back in sync with the rest of the system:
Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update
You may also want to read the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

Address Book does not sync with "Truth"

Hey all.
I've been experiencing this problem for some time now. I'm syncing between Address Book, Entourage 2008 and my cellphone via iSync. Recently however, it seems that my Address Book does not sync with the "Truth" anymore. For instance, when I make changes to a contact within my cellphone, after using iSync, the changes appear in Entourage 2008, but not in Address Book. Likewise, if I import a contact's vCard into Address Book, it does not show up in Entourage 2008 or iSync back to my cellphone.
I've tried resetting Sync History through both the button in iSync's preferences as well as terminal. That did not work. Neither did repairing permissions.
Could someone help me please?
Thank you!

If you have developper tools installed, maybe you can take a look a Syncrospector, located in /Developer/Applications/Utilities/
You should see AddressBook in clients list, with last sync data and registered entities (data types).
You can also check if /System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBook.framework/Resources/AddressBookSync.app is present on your disk.

Address Book Groups not showing up in iTunes

The groups that I have set up in Address Book are not showing up in the Info tab in iTunes when attempting to sync my iPhone. The iCal calendars show and sync with no problems. I have tried resetting sync history, logging off of my .Mac account and logging back in.
Any advise? Thanks.

Don't take what I have to say as fact, because I don't use a Mac and could be mistaken. I remember reading last night something about people taking and checking the box on the Summary page of iTunes to replace the info on the iPhone with the computer. Once that was done, it seemed to correct this issue and showed the address groups after that.
It might be worth the experiment, however I would make sure I had a backup of the phone before I tried it. I know it was only the last day or show that I read it, so if you want to search the forum before you try it, be my guest. I don't want to ruin anything for you, but I just remember reading that someone did that and it fixed it.
Hope this helps.

Address Book contact note it

Hi: When I update Address Book contact note it erases itself? Any solution?

Address Book doesn't have any complex note features (just a single basic text field), but you might want to look at something like Bento, which links to your Address Book and allows you to create whatever database structure you like. I use it for client visits, note-taking and hardware/software configurations.

Part of address book data loss using Migration Assistant

Used Migration Assistant to move everything from iMac 24" running OS 10.6 to new iMac 27" running OS 10.7. Multiple data files didn't get transferred. One was part of entrys in address book. Is there anyway to manually transfer the data over? Where are the data files located? Thanks Terry

Just looked at the new iMac. There is NO Library folder under the only User name. There is a Library folder in the HD which contains Application Support, but it does not contain Address Book. Did search for ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook as mentioned about and it could not be found on the new iMAC (10.7). It's there on the old iMAC (10.6). I noticed there was not a Library folder under user as we were comparing old and new computers, but just asssumed that was a change in 10.7. The computer seems to work OK, but we're continually finding files that did not get moved over using Migrtion Assistant. Are we a disaster waiting to happen? Thanks for any response. Terry

Touch Screen not responding for setting icon in iPhone5s after upgrade to iOS 8.

After upgrade to iOS8 in IPhone 5s, the touch screen is not working for settings icon. The settings will be opened on the screen, but unfortunately I can;t use any of the operations available on the setting window. Once I pressed the home menu button or power button and re-open the settings, it works.

Your observation is right. I am facing the same issue after upgrading to iOS 8.3. The trial and error was common with Microsoft .. it seems Apple is catching up with MS .
I hope they address this issue quickly.

My address book will not synch with iCloud or iPhone 4

Since upgrading to lion, my address book will not synch with icloud or my iphone 4. Any idea what I should do?

I can't figure out what's going on. Been working on this all day. Yes, all the preferences are checked off and I've triple checked everything. The truth is, after many experiments, I think the problem has to do with how address book is communicating with my contact list. I use quickbooks 2012 for mac. It has all of my customers and vendors synched with my address book on my mac. If I add a customer in quickbooks it shows up in address book on my mac. But it doesn't show up in Icloud or on my Iphone. If I manually add a customer to my Iphone it synchs fine with Icloud and my address book. It seems that the only time devices can't communicate is when I add a contact in quickbooks. No matter what I do, I can't get the new contact from quickbooks to icloud or my iphone. It looks like those programs/devices completely ignore the new contact in address book that was created in quickbooks. I realize you probably can't help me here but if you have any ideas let me know.

Address book contacts not syncing

When I sync my iphone, my contacts in address book on my mac do not sync. I don't have a mobileme account. Is this required or can I sync manually without mobileme?

You aren't addressing anything to Apple here.
If you have selected to transfer your email account settings from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, and the account setup info was successfully transferred to your iPhone, there is no need to keep this selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences - including this every time you sync. Email account settings usually doesn't change often if ever and if no longer selected to be included with the sync process, resetting the sync history on your Mac should have no effect on the order of email accounts on your iPhone.
For whatever it is worth, I've never had to reset the sync history on my Mac for contact info to be successfully synced or continue to be successfully synced. This has been with a first generation iPhone that I used and synced direct with the Address Book on my Mac for over a year, and the same since I purchased an iPhone 3G.
Not sure what the reason is for you having to continually reset the sync history on your Mac.

My email account has been hacked and my address book has been used to send unsolicitated emails to all my contacts, how can I stop this activity

My email account has been hacked and my address book has been used to send unsolicitated emails to all my contacts.

First of all
Run windows in safe mode (with network) and change your password on your email account.
Then
run several anti-malware programs (there are many free ones, but not all are trustworthy)
Malwarebyte >> http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
Microsoft Safety Scanner >> http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Windows Defender >> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/using-defender
Spybot >> http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
Kasperky >> http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan
Rootkit scanner TDSS-Killer >> http://support.kaspersky.com/5350
And when all is clean, change password for your email account again.

Address Book Accounts not showing sync options

Address Book > Accounts not showing sync options. - just a blank panel to right of "On My Mac". Cause could possibly be that I imported current contact list from vcf export of AB. Anyone any toughts on how can I retrieve the syncing options?

Don't take what I have to say as fact, because I don't use a Mac and could be mistaken. I remember reading last night something about people taking and checking the box on the Summary page of iTunes to replace the info on the iPhone with the computer. Once that was done, it seemed to correct this issue and showed the address groups after that.

Urgent HELP needed: Address Book will not start, just spinning wheel.

When I want to start the Address Book I just get the spinning wheel without end.
If I press: Command-Option-Esc to force-quit the application I am informed that the Address Book is not responding; I can only force-quit the application.
Since my AB data is also on MobileMe and another computer, I could, if necessary, delete whatever data files (and repopulate later). But how do I get Address Book working again?
Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks, Veit

Thanks, Roam, for the referral to Pacifist; sounds useful in the future.
I could solve my problem by:
- deleting the com.apple.AddressBook.plist file
- resetting the synchronization files as described in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10868689&#10868689
- and finally syncing with MobileMe, i.e. overwriting the computer with data from MobileMe.
All seems to work again, also the resizing. Thanks again for your help. Cheers, Veit
