Address groups change names after backup

I was trying to simplify my address groups and in the process erased the addresses in "Last Import" which wiped out the addresses in "All".
I had backed up my address book several days earlier using the .mac backup program so I did a restore, which restored my address book to the computer. But when I tried to resync my addresses with my Blackberry using their "PocketMac" software, the program showed different group names (and didn't sync correctly).
Is it possible that in doing what I did in my address book I corrupted something? If so, how would I be able to confirm that? I don't know where to find the address book data in Finder.
Thanks very much for whatever help you can offer.

restoring address book application from 10.5 was a mistake. it won't work in snow leopard. first, ditch the leopard address book.app and reinstall snow leopard one from the snow leopard dvd. open the dvd in finder and double-click on optional installs->optional installs.mpkg. reinstall address book. then reinstall 10.6.2 combo update to bring AB to its current version. next, to your main problem. do you sync your address book with anything? corrupt sync data can cause all kinds of problems. if you don't sync then quit Address book and delete the file homedirectory/library/application support/address book/AddressBook-v22.abcddb. then start Address Book and see if it works now.

  • IP address still changing even after MAC cloning enabled

    Hello,
    MAC Cloning was setup correctly (on the correct machine) and is also currently enabled.
    Why is my IP address still changing?
    Is it possible the router was powered down?
    Thanks,

    your ip address change because your computer is connected to a DHCP server like router or modem..
    DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) from the word Dynamic itself means it will change.
    If you want to have a permanent ip address unto your computer you should set Static ip address on your computer.

  • Macbook pro automaticaly changes names after sending email

    My Macbook Pro automaticaly changes the names of a few of my contacts after I've send them an email.
    For example I saved my parents email adress as: 'Pa en Ma', after I've send them an email it changes directly on all my devices to 'Pa en Ma Elly'. Elly, is my mom's name. I've probably used it in the past.
    The problem is on my Macbook Pro, my iPhone and iPad seem to be saving the correct name. This is the case with 3 different names/persons.
    Anoying!
    Anyone? Thanks!

    I've already tried to change it on icloud.com, didn't work.

    you perform local installation for SAP  so you can not include this system into domain it's create problem
    now if you want to cahnge ip address of your SAP Solman host that you can do and also if you want FQDN for your SOLMAN host it's also possible
    first create this parameter in your instance profile using RZ10
    icm/host_name_full   --> solmanhost.xyz.com
    save and activate profile
    now stop the SAP system change the ip of you SAP solman host
    create the following entry on solman host in hosts file

    172.165.0.10  -tab   solmanhost -tab-   solmanhost.xyz.com

  • Change Computer Name after first TC backup

    Has anyone tried changing their Computer Name after the first TC backup. The sparse image created on the TC which contains the backup has the computer name as the first part of its name, presumably any change of computer name would have to automatically change the name of that sparse image. I would like to change the name of my iMac from the default but don't want to do this if I have to do a brand new full Time Machine backup afterwards.

    I have changed the computer name (in System Pref: Sharing) of an iMac on our network after the initial backup to TC. There was no problem. This is due to the fact that TC uses the MAC address (also called Ethernet ID) to differentiate machines connected to it.
    You can see your machine's MAC address in the advanced area of the Network SysPref under the Ethernet Tab. This number is also in the .sparsebunle idisc image created by TC.
    Good luck with the name change.

  • RE: 1) Changing name and IP address of an AIX 4.2 Server 2)Using NAT

    Daniel,
    you (normaly) just have to :
    1) edit the $FORTE_ROOT/fortedef.sh fileand change the value of variable
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS
    2) shutdown and restart forte environment
    3) put the new values in the control panel of the client and run !
    It worked on our site with the same configuration (Aix 4.2)
    Good luck

    Objet : 1) Changing name and IP address of an AIX 4.2 Server 2)
    Using NAT to reach forte
    Hello Forte Users :
        I have 2 questions to make:
        1)
        I've installed a Forte Server Central Node (Release 3.0.F.2) in an
    IBM RS/6000  with OS AIX 4.2
        (The name of the server is Name_1 and the IP address is
    125.125.50.50 with mask 255.255.255.0)
        Nowadays we had to change the name and IP address of this server
    lets say to Name_2 and 125.125.60.60 with mask 255.255.255.0.
        After that we try to find any reference to old name and IP address
    in the forte directory and all of its subdirectories changing them to
    the new ones.
        After these changes we found than forte could'nt start the nodemgr
    server.
        We have too many reasons to avoid installing FORTE again.
        Does anybody know if I have to change anything more to make
    nodemgr server work.
        2)
        The second question is about NAT (Network Address Translation).
        To reach a Forte Server Central Node from a Forte Client we have
    to pass through a Firewall and NAT.
        We are researching and at this moment we can not reach the server
    from the client, has anybody any suggestion to correctly configure
    Forte (Client and Server) to use NAT between them.
        If anyone could help me I would be very pleased.
        Thank you very much in advance,

  • Changing the system Name after Installing EP

    Hi All,
    I need to change the system name of the server and the IP address of the server after EP is installed. Is it possible to do this? Will the EP work properly?
    Regards
    Arun

    Hi Arun,
    There is many reference in the config of the portal to the server name.
    I doubt you will be able to do it without difficulties.
    If you use KM, you will have trouble with internal links in documents. We had to install an apache server for redirection when we migrated/upgraded from EP6 SP2 to 2004s, because the server's name changed.
    Also, you will need to reinstall the local edit activeX to your users.
    I hope someone can answer you better than me.
    There always the system copy option.

  • Unable to change group text name or add person to some group texts in iOS 8

    I really like the ability to change group text names as it helps me separate work group texts from personal especially when I have coworkers that have separate business phones. I'm unable to change the name of some group texts as the option is not there when I go into details. I'm also unable to add contact to the same group texts that I'm unable to change the name on. Is this a glitch or am I missing something?

    Hi CaliWingsFan,
    If you are having issues with renaming and adding users to group texts, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • HT201493 How do I change an email address to a name for friends I am following?

    Does anyone know how I can update email addresses to actual names? I have deleted and reinstalled the app with no luck.

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

  • Iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst file names and backups. Iphone4 connects to car though and other phones connect properly.

    iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst files, names and backups, on my ms XP 2003 laptop. I substituted a much smaller new Personal Folder -Contacts File, with a smaller list of phone numbers (4 only as a test) which successfully synced to the iPhone 4. The iPhone connects to the Skoda Octavia HandsFreeSystem OK (Bluetooth works fine), but now iPhone wont load the new Contacts as it did originally. However a family Nokia (never messed with) can connect properly. So must be the iPhone or more likely an Outlook.pst \ Contacts problem. Ideas?

    After fiddling a little more, the following fixed my corrupted outlook.pst file:
    1) I made a backup
    2) In outlook under file, I exported the calendar to excel
    3) In outlook under file, I imported the calendar back to outlook
    And voila, it worked.

  • How do I change the color of the users name after they sign in?

    I am trying to change the color of the users name after they have signed in on the top right hand corner. When you hove over the login it shows up "Welcome (Users name) Log Out", The "welcome" and "log out" are in white and I know how to change them, but trying to find out how to change the name so it appears a different color is getting the better of me. Please help.

    Hi blackroseuk7,
    You can use firebug to inspect the element to see what div to target and from there you can set the color with CSS.
    Hope this helps!

  • How to change the name / IP address and domain name for BOE Server

    Hello,
    We want to change the name / IP address and domain name for BOE Server, please could you indicate the steps or procedure to follow?
    I need your help
    thank you

    If it's 3.1 just change them, shouldn't cause any issues if by domain name you are referring to changing the domain the computer belongs to. If you are changing your domain for AD authentication then you will may have to take quite a few steps if the old domain is going away. Let us know.
