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?

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.

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.

How can i add new contacts to the adress book? iOS5

I've solve the problem, you just have to sync your contacts with iCloud, that solve my problem i hope it helps you

Synch new contacts from Address Book no longer works.

My iphone will no longer synch new contacts in my Address Book on my Mac. It was working fine and then I loaded too much audio content and ran out of memory so I think it could not synch properly without memory available. I've since deleted all my audio and have plenty of space yet new contacts in Address Book do not show up on my iPhone even though the synch process appears to complete. Any ideas?

I hope you are doing this over wifi, if you are not then you may have exceeded your monthly data limit, but I doubt that's the problem. All I can say is that Address Book will be getting refurbished soon, and according to Apple, it will be far more simple to transfer data between iOS and Macs.

Using Automator to make a new contact in Address Book

Hello.
I would love to create a service that allows me to, for example, highlight text in Safari, the choose a service that would create a new contact in Address Book based on that text.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.

this can possibly work but could be tricky to do.
an address can have several lines for street address, several phone numbers and you'd have to figure out how to parse all the information correctly and also get rid of any extraneous stuff that may be selected along with the address. i confess I don't know quite how to do it. It might be possible though. snow leopard does have address recognition built in so it does it somehow.
try asking in the AppleScript forum under OS X technologies.

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.

Contacts. Can't add new contacts after upgrading to Mtn Lion from Snow Leopard.

I can't add new contacts after upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain last week. I do not use iCloud. Any suggestions?

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
find . $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "35." Please post it in a reply.

Transfering new contacts to address book in my Macbook Pro

Previously, I synced my mom's iphone contacts into my macbook pro. So the contacts in my address book are hers. Recently, i got my own iphone and i would like to transfer my contacts into my macbook. So how do i transfer the new contacts?
Thanks, i will appreciate any help or feedback.

sorry where do I find the sync history to reset in itunes?
so if i understand you if i have only 100 contacts on my laptop and 500 on my itouch and i sync the two those 500 will go over to the laptop from the touch with no special resetting or instructions other than hitting the sync button.
why i am cautious is because after updating my OS some how some way i lost most of contact in address book on my laptop and am hoping just syncing the laptop with the itouch in i tunes will restore them. is that whatz going to happen i hope?

Can't add new Contact

After I clean installed my Macbook last week with Maverick, I sync my old file with TIme Machine, and I had to reinstall the whole system due to a problem with permission in a system wide range ! After that, everything look clean, but I just realised, that I can't add any new contact, all my old contact still there, but there's nothing I can do to add new contact !

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.

You have recently upgraded either your AIM, MSN/Live, Gtalk or Yahoo Messenger.
Remove the app you upgraded and your address book will be fine.
There's a glitch in the upgrade of which I understand RIM is aware of and working to fix.

How to add custom label to a new contact in address book which is synced with outlook account

Hello all,
My iPhone is synced with outlook account. When I tried to create a new contact,'Add Custom Label' option was missing. Is Apple provides any solution to handle this? Is there any documentation provided about this behavior?

The second script is working but if I need to change the link it will not allow me to edit or delete it in iCal on my desktop. The only way to edit it is to use the online iCal in me.com.
And the worst problem is that the url does not show up on my iPhone iCal. The iPhone version of iCal has limited features. So if I'm away from the office on my iPhone I still have the problem of having no link to my iCal appointment. I still end up having to use both iCal and Contacts as separate Apps.
I still dont understand why Apple wouldnt make these 2 Apps work together! It seems so obvious! thanks anyway.

When adding a new contact in address book, I want the default for display to be last, first. How can I make that the default?

I want names displayed in my address books in a formal manner:
Jones, Fred
Nixon, Jay
Smith, Gertrude
and I would prefer that display be created in that manner when I enter first and last names.
Thanks
Del

Open the Address Book
Select '''View-Show Name As-Last, First'''
