Can anyone help? installed tiger, now can't open address book

when i click on the icon, it opens up for about a nanosecond and then disappears. so it's useless. anyone else experience this and know what to do? thanks! --nancy

Welcome to the discussions, Nancy.
Two things to try:
Go to the applications folder and try to run Address Book from there (it will likely be the first application in the list)
Make a new user, log on as the new user, and try AB there.
Let us know the results.

    Welcome to Discussions!
    In Finder, click Go>Home, open "Library", open "Preferences", find the files com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist and com.apple.AddressBook.plist and move them to your desktop.
    Then log out and log in again, and try again.
    Good luck!

    I can't open my books with the update, says failed to load book because the requested resources is missing.  Please HELP.

    If you can't open a particular ibook then try deleting it from the bookshelf via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf, and (assuming that it's still in your country's store) redownload it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app (or if you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes library sync it back from there).

  • Can't reinstall address book

    I posted this before - no help or replies.
    After OS X 10.4.8 and latest security update address book application disapeared. With spotlight I found my address book data. But can't reinstall the application. Address book icon appears under OS 9. applications but wouldn't load. All trials to custom install address book are failing.
    Any hints or help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Applications don’t just disappear by themselves or as a result of installing a software update. If Address Book is no longer in /Applications/, it has to be because someone removed it from there.
    Moreover, if it’s is somewhere else, it has to be because someone moved it there. If you have Address Book in the OS9 Applications folder and it doesn’t work, you should probably get rid of that altogether.
    Anyway, you may reinstall Address Book as described in the second part of the following article:
    Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4
    Note that Address Book may appear grayed out in the installer, but will be checked if you check Applications there, and will be installed if Address Book has been removed from the /Applications/ folder.
    If the version of the system software on your install 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 Address Book back in sync with the rest of the system:
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
    Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
    Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
    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.

  • Can you mode Address Book database to a shared location?

    I'd like to move my address book DB to a shared location. Dropbox in particular, but it would be the same thing using an iDrive.
    The idea being that my Mac & my laptop would both use one shared db so they are always in sync. A change made on one would be the same on the other.
    Anyone know if this is possible?
    I know you can sync contacts with MobileMe but Dropbox is free and I have no need/want for wasting $99/yr on MobileMe just to sync my contacts. This is more of a "wouldn't it be nice" than a necessity/
    Thanks

    you can try it but I would advise against it. the results might be unpredictable.
    here is what you can try. quit address book on both computers. on the computer with the full address book database move the address book folder /users/username/library/application support/address book to the dropbox folder. leave a symbolic link to the new location in the old place. that's done with the following terminal command assuming you are using the default location for your dropbox.
    ln -s ~/Dropbox/AddressBook ~/Library/Application Support
    wait for Dropbox to finish syncing so both computers have the new folder in place. that's very important. then on the second computer delete the address book folder /users/username/library/application support/address book and run the above command too. now the AB folder sits in the dropbox and you have sym links pointing to it on both computers. however, I suspect you might have issues if you try to run address book simultaneously on both computers. if you feel brave you can try it out. but back up the address book folder first.

  • How can I copy address book content from user 1 to user 2 in my iMac

    I have my iMac set up with 2 users. The address book is in user 1. I need to establish a copy of it in user 2 so that the icloud I have set up for that user icludes the address book. How can i copy the address book from user 1 to user 2?

    Are you sure you did that right ... because I did a File/Backup Address Book, and the file named included the date. I then copied the file through our Airport network from the Powerbook to a new iMac. The opening Address Book on the iMac, I did a File/Revert to Address Book Backup, which allows you to choose the file. Now the iMac had the same Address Book file as the Powerbook. This looks to me to be the same thing you are trying to do.
