Hello
i have a blackberry curve 8520.

i tried to reboot removing the battery for a minute and restart but still with the same problem.
Also i figured out that when y sync my bb with the desktop manager, the address book is not sync it says (Adress book not installed) that is why i can not swipe the contacts to reinstall the info because i have no back up of the address book
Please i need some help with this issues
thanks

While there is no hard limit on how many contacts you can have in your device, there is a soft limit in that you can only have as many as your device memory can handle. Check your available memory to see if you have any remaining space. If not, then consider cleaning out/uninstalling some things you do not need in order to increase available memory for more contacts.

Can't add new Contact in address book

I am trying to add a new contact in the address book by using the + sign at the bottom of the list of names, and it just switches to the next contact. It does NOT create a NEW contact. Is there a limit of contacts for the address book that I am not aware of ?
Thanks in advance

Have you tried adding a contact from the file menu?

Can not post all contacts from address book group

I created a contact list with 132 entries for a social club that I belong to in Address Book. When I create a message and add the group in the BCC field it will only post 99 contacts.
I tried dragging and dropping the group and typing the group name in the Bcc field and I always end up with just 99. I checked all the addresses and they all seem legit. It took me quite a long time to add all these fields and now I am so discouraged. Any ideas at all please.

Glad it working. I couldn't remember if Lion had a limit but usually it's your ISP that limits sending to a group. In the past it used to be 50 contacts but now most let you send up to 200 in a group.
It's best to put yourself in the To line and add group to BCC for privacy. If you don't have a To recipient some ISPs put the BCC in To.

I have business and personal e-mail accounts with different contacts. Can I have more than one address book on my iPhone?

I have business and personal e-mail accounts with different contacts. Can I have more than one address book on my iPhone?

Set up an additional user account and use one for work and one for personal stuff - each will have a separate address book. Turn on fast user switching for easy switching between the two.

Adding notes to Mutliple Contacts in Address Book

Does anyone know how to add a note to multiple contacts in address book? For example I have a list of people I sent holiday cards to and would like to add a note "Holiday Card 2005" to each contact. I do not want to create a "Group".
Thanks!

There's currently no way to do this within the application, but Address Book's applescript support should make this possible. You can select a number of records, and have a script operate on the people within the selection.

Can I retrieve deleted contacts from Address book

Can I retrieve deleted contacts from address book on my mac or contact list on my iphone?

Yes if you have been backing up using Time Machine it should be pretty simple. If you haven't been backing up then they're gone.

Thunderbird will not keep new contacts in address book

I have added new contacts to my address book. When I go back a day later to use them they are gone. I have to recreate them to send an e-mail. Also I create a group contact and the same thing. I can use it the day I create it but the next day it is gone, Thunderbird does not save it to my address book. What is wrong ???. This is very upsetting and time consuming.

The symptoms suggest your Address Book is corrupted.
It can be fixed by exporting the affected address book to an LDIF file and then re-importing it. If it's one of the two built-in address books, you will need to close Thunderbird, open its profile and delete the relevant *.mab address book file. For the ''Personal Address Book'', this is '''abook.mab''', and for ''Collected Addresses'', it's '''history.mab'''.
Other user-defined address books will have names such as '''abook-1.mab'''; the challenge it to work out which is which. However, user-defined address books can be deleted within Thunderbird, simply by selecting them in the Address Book and using the delete key. So you don't need to fish about in the profile for these.

Can't add anyone to my address book - PLEASE HELP!!!

Prior to my last upgrade of thunderbird, this function was working fine. Now I cannot add anyone to my address book, and the copy to address book feature does nothing. It's a real pain cause I have to type every single persons email into the address bar which is driving me nuts!!!
It may be an overall setting with the computer, but I have tried every possible option and it doesn't seem to allow me to add anyone. When I do it manually the ok but won't allow me to click it?!?
Please help...

Address Book Version 4.1 (687) can not add new contact Leopard OSX 10.5

Well, I have tried to add a contact using Mail, or using Address Book.
No-Go.
The "New Card" under File->New Card is even grayed out. I have over 16 Gigs of space available, so it is not a space issue on the hard drive.
I do use and sync with i-Phone, could that be an issue?

What happened when you tried to revert to backup on the Tiger machines? The data structures used by Leopard Address Book are completely different from those used by Tiger.
You should be able to get the notes transferred in vCards - make sure that you have the option set in Leopard Address Book's vCard preferences.

Mail seems to add certain contacts to Address Book automatically

I'm not sure how it happens as I can't seem to find the option in Mail to turn it off, but it seems as though Mail wants to automatically add contacts into my Address Book.
At least I think it's Mail. I don't think iPhone would do that, would it?
Any idea how I can turn that off?

If you sync multiple devices via iCloud and at the same time sync the contacts via email boxes or even several then your contacts / address book will end up in chaos. When you add contacts on a mobile device one expect to be asked to which mailbox you would like to add the contact but this is not happening i.e. the new contact is synced with all mailboxes that have the sync contacts on.
As an example is you add a contact from your iPhone this contact is propagated via iCloud to the sync'd devices e.g. iMac and iPad and also to all the email accounts if the option sync contacts is on.
On the other hand if you add an email account with contacts and switch the sync contacts option on you might see multiple entries of the same contact. These will disappear / 'be deleted' if you switch the sync contacts off for the the email account.
The best choice is keep the iCloud sync on for all devices and switch the sync of contacts of all your mail accounts off and import , cleanup duplicates off all the various contacts lists.

Cant add new contacts to Address Book Server

I would like to have a Global Address Book Server where all the user can add/delete contacts. I have done all the setups but in the iMacs (the users) I can see the Address Book Server but NOT the + button to add a new contact. Why ?
In the group name, together to "Address Book Server" there is not any error icon so I understand the client-server connection is well done.
Can someone tell me what should I check ?
Thank you in advanced

I was look ing at this last night. I think there's an 'add new contacts to' type pop-up somewhere in the client account settings. That might be it.

Can not make Groups work in Address Book

I'm running Mac OS X v10.7.4 with the latest version of Address Book. I'm new to Apple and am trying to set up groups in Address Book for ease of mailing to a number of contacts.
I'm connected to iCloud and am able to create group names under iCloud. I can also drag contacts into a group from my iCloud contact list to populate it and the names are displayed on the opposing page from the page listing the group names. However, when I enter the group name into a Mail message address box the box remains blank. Also, if I right click on the group name in the group list and select "Send an e-mail to the group" that will open a "new message" window but again the "to box" will be empty. When I click on a group name and then select from the task bar "Edit>Edit Distribution List..." that choice is grayed out and non-responsive. So I end up with a defined group with group members in it but it can not be edited nor available for actually addressing an e-mail message.
However, this is the weird part: What I described above was my effort yesterday, trying to get Groups going and finally shutting down in frustration. Today when I opened Address Book the groups worked! I could address e-mail messages using either method. The "Edit Distribution List..." was active and I was able to modify my group members. I was so elated that I immediately created another group. Alas, it behaved as the other groups did yesterday. The group was populated but unable to be inserted in the "to box" and I was unable to edit the distribution list. Also, after creating the new group, yesterday's groups would no longer permit being edited although I was able to earlier in the day. However, the addresses still appear in the "to box" when I invoke the group.
I am confused and frustrated. Do I have an incorrect setting that hinders the use of groups? Is there some system reset or iCloud update that occurs on a daily basis that activated the groups created yesterday? Why would my creating a new group cause me to loose the ability to edit any of the groups?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading such a long message.
Mike

Eureka. You are right. I just tested closing and reopening Mail and now today's groups work. Regarding editing the existing groups, I found an article from 2011 on CNet that claimed that iCloud disables the Distribution List Editor. The work around is to create a single dummy group under "On My Mac" which will reactivate the editor which can then be used for iCloud groups. I tested this and it works.
Thank you so much for your prompt and helpful comment.

Why can't I update contacts in address book

I cannot update contacts in my Address book. The command "L" does not work, and the menu item is grayed out. Can do it on the iPhone. Not yet transferred to the cloud, as there are 5 computers on the samd account, and only 3 of them have the Ram required for 10.7. Ordering the Ram today or tomorrow.

Thanks again for your time.
I have done as you suggested and the info is as follows:
