Address Book that does NOT alter Contacts app

I am looking for a second address book / contacts app for my iPhone. I am an autograph collect and want to be able to save celebrities contact details in a seperate addressbook. All apps that I have downloaded haven't been suitable. When adding to the 2nd address book I don't want the Contacts app touched (all apps that I've used - add to the contacts once an addition has been made. Hope that makes sense.thanks

YEEHAH !!!
I HAD THE SAME "SEARCH" ISSUE, HOWEVER I AM NOT USING iCLOUD... so my situation was yet slightly different I guess, I tried a bunch of things (exporting, reimporting etc.. Nothing worked..).
FINALLY WHAT WORKED WAS: I deleted everything in the Application Support/AddressBook EXCEPT the Metadata folder. When I relaunched AddressBook.. everything worked fine again, searches etc.. and all icons even reappeared I guess they are also kept with the metadata info not jsut the images folder since I had deleted it) .. and all my contacts from Facebook that I had synched using Cobook and some other utility before that are also there...
I've also played around with CoBook again.. to make sure things were stable, and so far they are.
HOWEVER.. iCloud scares me... so I'll refrain from playing with that for now

  • HT2486 want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible

    want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible (see attached image). for some reason, all new contacts added through Mountain Lion appear as fullscreen caller ID images.

    This would be better addressed in the iPhone forum, I would post there as well.

  • MacBook Address Book Application Does Not Run

    MacBook OSX 10.5.8 - Address Book application will not run - it shows up in Applications Folder but will not run - either double click or command File - Open.  I have reinstalled the Address Book application with the original installation disk, which indicated the application was installed, still will not run.  Rebooted, reinstalled again - same result -- the Applications Folder shows the file size as 1.4 Mb - updated today - the installation disk showed approx. 53 Mb was being installed - not sure if the Application Directory is only showing a command file or what - also ran the hardware diagnostic and found no problems.  Software update shows current software is up to date.
    Haven't used Address Book so do not know if it ever worked.  Need it now to sync with IPhone 4.  Any Ideas?

    rjackjr,
    After reinstalling an Apple application from the installation disk, it is also necessary to reinstall the latest Combo Update for the installed system. In your case that would be Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update.
    Try that and see what happens with your Address Book application.

  • When I delete a name from the address book it does not delete it from the drop down name menu when forwarding a message. How do I remove it from the drop down menu?

    When I delete a name from Address Book it is not removed from the name drop down list when forwarding a message. How can I remove it from the drop down list?

    In Mail go to the Window Menu and select Previous Recipients. Deleting entries from there won't delete them from your Address Book.

  • Address Book SEARCH does not work anymore

    Since the last week or so, my "Address Book" does not search at all anymore for any contacts on iCloud (which is where I have all my contacts). I saw others had a similar problem, and that one person was able to fix it -> https://discussions.apple.com/message/17417340?searchText=Address%20Book%20SEARC H%20does%20not%20work%20anymore#17417340 -> but this fix does not work for me. Interestingly it searches if I have contacts "On my Mac", which I usually don't.
    I tried exporting my address book and re-inporting it (replacing all contacts), but it did not change anything.
    Was anyone able to fix this besides the person in the above linked discussion?

  • How to access address book that is not on startup drive

    I have an external hard drive that is from an old computer of mine. How do I access the address book on that drive without making it my startup drive first?
    Thanks.

    easy on all caps there
    you can do the following to combine address books. start Address book, select all the contacts currently in your address book and drag them to the desktop. that will create one big vcard with those contacts. then quit address book and replace the folder that I told you about with the one from the backup drive. start address book. it will look like it did on the backup drive. drop the vcard you have on the desktop onto the address book. the addresses will be imported.
    warning: this procedure will migrate all addresses but will destroy any groups and smart groups you currently have in AB.

  • In Outlook the 'people' (address book) page does not work at all in Firefox.

    Hi, I have checked and it works fine using Explorer. I've checked that cookies are enabled.
    When I click the people icon the address bar shows:- https://outlook.live.com/owa/#path=/people
    However the page remains completely blank, there is no 'wheel' to suggest that it is searching.
    Any suggestions please?
    Michael

    First you have to determine exactly what is the problem.   The best way to do that is a visit to an Apple store genius bar.  The evaluation will be FREE and then you will be in a position to make an informed decision,

  • How to import iDVD app from Time Capsule to my new iMac 21" that does not have iDVD?  I can find the iDVD app in the Time Capsule, then what?

    I have a new 21" iMac to replace a 6-year old iMac 24.  My Time Capsule has the iDVD app saved (?) and I can find it, but I can't figure out how to move it to my new iMac that does not have the app.  How to do this?

    You are probably better to install it from ilife disk.
    Can't Find a update or latest Version of iDVD to Download or a Compatibility to Yosemite

  • Address Book Server will not sync all fields with iOS client

    Hello,
    I am getting really frustrated with my Mac Mini Server.
    Apparently, the Address Book Server DOES NOT sync all fields.
    Only standard vCard-fields seem to synced.
    I have not successfully synced user-defined fields, such as an additional date.
    Any ideas / infos on how to achieve this if this possible at all?
    Thanks for the input,
    Erasmus
    One thing: I posted the same question in the "Lion" (non-server) discussion - sorry for any confusion.
    One thing I noticed:
    All changes made on the server in the OS X Address Book are distributed to two iOS clients (iPod 4th Gen iOS4 iPhone 3GS iOS 4).
    Any help is appreciated.

    Sorry for answering myself...
    I just found out that after editing the newly distributed entry on an iOS4-Client, some fields on the server are deleted!

  • After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?

    I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
    In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
    I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

  • Address book search now does not find contacts older contacts in 8310

    Hi from a new subscriber, and Thanks for any help!  A month ago my 8310 Curve, v. 4.5.0.55 (Platform 2.7.0.68) service provider O2, stopped being able to search and find Contacts unless I had added them after that date.  These newer Contacts have not been folded into the original Address Book, but are all in a new and alphabetised list at the end of the original Contacts list.  There are no Categories assigned, no Network sync, and Content is not protected.  The Contacts are in the phone, not on the SIM.
    Before this, I could type in to the Address Book or the phone the first 2-3 letters of someone's name and it would take me to that contact - now it says there's no such person.  So I have to scroll through the entire address book to get to who I want, and then I can call/SMS etc.
    Any ideas would be very much appreciated!  Thanks.

    Solved!

    First off, do a simple reboot:  With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
    Does this fix your address book?
    If not, let me ask if you have added a Gmail email address in the past month, about when this odd behaviour began?
    Can you look at Options > Status > press the Meny key > Database Sizes.
    Scroll down to Address Book, do you see more than one listed?
    What do you see?

  • Address Book RSET has wiped all contacts not just the unwanted ones

    I'm on an 8520 Curve running v5.0.0.681.
    I recently added an e mail account for my wife. In adding it, I allowed her contacts to be synched in.  After deleting the e mail account, her contact list stayed (all1700 of them) swamping my contacts.
    I read on these forums that using RSET in Address Book Options would remove the list. It did but also removed all my contacts.  There is no back up on a PC or on my SIM.  I can't even add contacts manually as they refuse to save.
    Any ideas on how to get my contacts back or at least to allow them to be re-input manually?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I've solved this myself now.
    The problem was that in doing the RSET it got rid of the address book from the BB phone. Address book was effectively not installed.
    I followed http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites​/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB2​...
    I have my contacts back too as they were synched with my e mail account contacts.  I still have the issue of deleting all the contacts from my e mail account that I don't want on my phone.
    BB should have better warnings on using RSET

  • HT5621 My ipad recognizes and old email address for icloud.  When I go to change the address it sends me an email verification email that says click the link THAT DOES NOT EXIST IN THE EMAIL!!   How do I get this changed?

    I cannot get my icloud email address changed, but I no longer have that email address.  So it is sending an email to an address that no longer exists, yet I cannot get it to change to my current email address.  WHen I walk through the process, it sends me an "verificaiton email" that DOES NOT have the link in it to verify.  UGH

    Welcome to the Apple community TMOZINGO.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • I have an app that does not show up on the left under iTunes.  How do I delete it?

    I have an app that does not show up on the left under iTunes.  How do I delete it from my Iphone 5?

    If the icon exists on your screen, just do a long press on that icon and when the small X appears on top of the app, press it and it will delete it.  As long as this is not an Apple app, since those cannot be deleted.
