Your asking the equivalent of retrieving the spare tyre from the car you sold and saw crushed.

How to move old address book (XP) into new computer (8.1) as the existing default address book.

I have exported the address book in LDIF format and have also found the abook.mab file in my old XP computer. My new W8.1 address book is totally empty. I don't know where to find the Profile folder on W8.1 and when I import the LDIF it creates a new address book folder which I don't want. I just want everything in the default address book.

Open the newly created address book. Click on one contact to select it. Hit control+a to select them all. Drag and drop them on the personal Address Book folder to move them there.

How to bring in Address book to a New User I created on Mac

I had to create a new userid on my mac and I have an address book on the old userid. How can I bring in the new address book into the new user?
On the old user I exported the address book to the User\shared directory. Then I logged into the new user and tried to import. It doesn't import.
Both accounts are Admin. When I look at the address folder in User\shared, it has the red circle on the bottom of the folder. I can't bring it in. HELP

When I tried to bring in the file, a message says "Reverting will cause your current database to be overwritten".
When I click Replace All, nothing happens, my entries are not imported. I am not sure what to do next.

Hello hbell,
is there any reason that you do not want
to upgrade to v10.5.? Suggest you call
1-800-275-2273 Apple Support. Automated call
yet if you call back you can get in touch with an
Apple Software Specialist. They may be able to ship
you Leopard so that you can synch your new iPhone
to you own computer. Have the serial numbers of your
Mac and iPhone written down and ready for them.
As far as transferring data to your husbands MacBook
so that you can sync your iPhone on it I am really not
sure. Seems like a lot of trouble to get your data onto
your iPhone.
Good Luck,
A

Unless your carrier doesn't have the required SIM card size, you can get a new SIM card from your carrier. There is usually no charge for this.
If you don't have an Apple iCloud account or if you do being accessed on the iPhone with contacts turned off for over the air syncing, you should be able to transfer contacts from the Address Book app on your Mac via the iTunes sync process. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
If you have an iCloud account, you can sync contacts over the air with the Address Book on your Mac. After confirming your contacts are available with your iCloud online address book - checked by logging in with your iCloud account using a browser on your Mac, you can then turn Contacts on for over the air syncing with your iCloud account settings on your iPhone and your contacts will then be available there and kept synced automatically over the air between your iPhone address book, your iCloud online address book, and the Address Book on your Mac without having to sync with iTunes for this.

HT204150 I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help

I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help?

Also, what are the source of your contacts? are they created on the phone, or you synced from yahoo/hotmail etc.
If thats the case, the circular arrow wont be visible but instead show "groups"
Contacts from different accounts are not synced to iCloud.

TS1347 How can I send my address book to my new samsung note 10.1 2014 edition?

How can I send my address book to my new samsung note 10.1 2014 edition?

Sync it to an app on your computer using iTunes, then sync your Samsung to the same app. Or sync your address book to gmail, yahoo or hotmail, then sync your Samsung to the same service.

Multiple address books on the same computer: How to

Hi!
I'll get in the near future my wife's iPhone 3G (unless she keeps it and take her 3GS instead) - but want want to be 100% sure we can have separate address books on the same computer. The question is simple: how do we go about that?
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
If it's just the address book that should be different: in iTunes, you can specify for each device what it should sync. For your contacts, you can specify in iTunes which contact groups to sync (at least on my Mac using Address Book I can).
Does this mean I need to create separate contact groups in the same address book file or can I create a second file? I'd much rather use the second solution. The first solution would in fact mean creating three groups: "His", "Hers" and "Both". This is a shotcut for contact management nightmares!
Thanks in advance,
Claude

I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one?

I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one? There are only a few of the contacts I had, so there must be a location where the rest are, but not sure where to look. And once I find them (with your help), how do I get them into the address book?

If you copy abook.mab or history.mab into a profile folder, they will show up as Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses. But if the mab files have names other than abook or history, they can only be imported to TB with the use of [https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook].

In address book on my new macbook pro I can't drag contacts to a new message or drag a group to bcc. What do I need to do?

in address book on my new macbook pro I can't drag contacts to a new message or drag a group to bcc like I could on my 2007 macbook pro. What do I need to do?

The issue has nothing to do with your MacBook Pro. You are using a different version of OS X.
If you are using Apple's Mail application, it will search both previous contacts and the address book as you type the send address.

Address book missing in New Message Window

Although I can append the Address Book icon to the toolbar in the main Mail window, this is not acessable from the New Message Window. I have several email accounts and prefer to not use the auto-complete tool in Mail. However, I'd rather not have to enter the email address manually. In Snow Leopard, I could search the addressbook directly from the new message window.
How do I add address to the "To Field" from my address book once a new message is created besides drag and drop from Address Book app?

Hi.
You can add the contact to Address Book once you have sent the message. Go to Sent, select the message, and when you see it on the preview pane, in the "To" field, click and hold on the address you want to add, and select "Add to Address Book" from the drop down menu.
Good Luck.

5 crashes after upgrade to ios my address book immediately and I can not access emails, because the password is wrong and when I go to mail settings crashes the application immediately from

Same issue also. Occurring both on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 after upgrading to ios 5
By the way, Mattban and Sancasslano, are either of you also experiencing any of the following issues:
* Problems with Contacts either crashing or listing no names
* Problems with turning iCloud on or off for application under Settings->iCloud... On both mine I just get a pop up saying that iCloud is being turned off but Contacts then just locks up.
* General problems when trying to synch applications on the iPad or iPhone over iCloud?
I am wondering if all these issues are in someway related to and whether it is worth trying to turn off iCloud somehow, though I cannot work out how this can be done once set up.

Migrating Mail and Address book to a new Mac

Hello All
I have been asked to help a client move emails and address book to a new mac as he didn't fancy the all or nothing approach by using migration assistant. I'm assuming the guy doesn't have a mobile me account and he has stated his old mac has FW400 and the new one has FW800 so I'm thinking I will use an external USB HD to shift the files over.
Am I right in thinking all I need to do is to copy the address book folder from home/library/application support and the mail folder from home/library/mail, then paste them in the same location on the new mac replacing the folders that are there, restart the new mac and all will be well??
If I am missing anything important any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Jonno

Hi All
Ok, one small problem with transferring mail folder and plist from a clients old mac to his new one. Everything looked fine as I left with the correct number of mails etc showing in each of his mail folders but it turns out there is an issue. He can view mails on his .Mac account but when he looks at his POP folder all he can see is the subject line, date and who the mail was from but not any of the content of the mail.
Any ideas what has gone wrong?
Thanks
Jonno
