Can't edit or add entries to Contacts

I am unable to edit any entries in Contacts and cannot add any new contacts in Mavericks. As soon as I click "Done" after an edit, the contact reverts to its original contents, i.e. the edit disappears. If I add a new contact, it also disappears when I click "Done."
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas about what is going on?

Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

Since I moved to iCloud I can't Edit or Delete Address Book Contacts using my MacBook Pro

Is not funny at all, everything was fine using Mobile Me but since I switch to iCloud I can't Edit or Delete my Address Book Contacts using my MacBook Pro or my MacPro.
In my MacBook Pro, i open Address Book and on the left I have te list of all contacts, on the right the selected contact informations, below I only have "Add Contact" or "Share", my friend have "Edit" instead of "Add Contact".
If I click on "Add Contact" this is the result:
Are you sure you want to import 1 card? 1 card is a duplicate and will be updated.
Everything fine using my iPhone or the website.
Apple, what's going on?

Here is some information and instructions from Apple:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998
Please note that iCloud is geared towards being an instantaneous (and in some cases temporary) parking place for various things with iDevices; the access and useability from a computer is more difficult and, for most things, has to be done via the website icloud.com.

How can I edit the password entries?

How can I edit the values in password manager? Right now for at least one site has the username instead of the password.

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox with a possible feed.snapdo.com infection.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
You should check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

Can you edit or add a custom event to contacts to show in Birthday Subscription calendar

I want to modfy Birthday subscription calendar to include custom events that appear in my Contacts. Is there a way to do this?
Or how can I create a new subscription calendar to be published in my iCloud acct pulling the custom events from Contacts?

You have some contacts with more than one birthday?
To add a custom label for a date, select Edit for an existing contact. Select Add Field. Select Date. Scroll up with the Info window above the date selection and select Other for the new date selection. Select Add Custom Label and then select this label for the new date field for the contact.
As far as linking dates with multiple contacts, the answer is no to that.

Is it possible to automatically add entry to contacts?

Using my iPhone or iPad, I can search for an address using the white and yellow pages app, then just click a button to add that entry to my contacts. Is there a way to do this using a Mac?
-Thanks

I just installed a free app named "Yellow Pages". You can lookup an address, and in one click add it to your contacts. Nice!

Can't edit existing calendar entries (synched with Google)

I have 2 iPhones synched with one Google calendar. Creating/Deleting new entries in any one place properly synchs to the other places. My problem is that when I edit an existing calendar entry from either iPhone and save it, the change is undone shortly afterwards and the entry returns to its previous status. The change can be to any field (description, date, time, duration, etc). This occurs on one-time entries as well as recurring calendar events.
Any ideas on how to fix this? TIA!

Hi,
From my experience, sometimes the issue may occur if offline address book cannot be updated.
To manually force a download of the latest offline address book, please take the following steps:
Delete the old offline Address Book which is located in the following Outlook folders:
For Windows 7: \Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Offline Address Books
In Outlook client, click the Send/Receive tag on the top.
Go to Send/Receive Groups->click Download Address Book.
Since the issue only occur on Outlook, I recommend you to post this issue on Outlook Forum. Here is the link:

Thanks.

How can I edit email address for a contact name

befor the update, we had a command called Contacts through which I could edit names of contacts who changed their address. I cannot find such a command on the new page.

That is a question related to whatever email system you use, not your browser. You may wish to ask the question at the support website for that particular system.

I have a new Windows 8 and I installed iTunes but all my music isn't there. There is music there I didn't have in iTunes but do have on my computer or enternal hard drive. My iTunes is just all messed up. I also can't edit or add my art work.

When I open some of my albums it looks like theres a haze over the page and I can't click on anything to change it. New songs aren't going into the same album they are going on iTunes individually. I thought when I downloaded iTunes on this new computer everything would be the same as the old computer I didn't think everything would change. I also have missing albums.

Hi DebbieLC!
I have an article for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. We have an article that explains what to do if you have no content in your iTunes after updating, and it can be found here:
No content shows up in iTunes after updating

I can't edit my add-ons

When I click add-ons from the menu bar it doesn't take me to the add-ons window. Instead i get a pop up that says a certain script isn't responding. It says the location of the script is: Script: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js:623
I have no idea how to solve this, please help.

Do you have the Personas Plus 1.6 extension(Extras Add-ons) ?
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
A possible cause of the "nsExtensionManager.js:623" error message is an incompatibility of Personas Plus 1.6 with the Google Toolbar.

Can't edit ipod (add/delete songs/playlists)

I rebooted my pc with my 30gb 5th gen. ipod still connected. The next time I plugged in my ipod a pop up box came on and asked if I wanted to set up my ipod (as if it were a different ipod). the first time it happened I said no and the ipod worked as it normally did. the next time, like an idiot a clicked yes. ITunes recognizes my ipod but won't let me make any changes like adding/deleting songs or playlists. Do I need to restore it and if so how do I do that? Is there something else I need to do?

it must be on auto sync, try checking the 'manually manage ipod' box in itunes when youre ipods connected.

Help! I backed up my new iphone 4s and all my existing contacts and calendar events from my old iphone. Everything transferred but now I don't have the option to edit my contacts or calendar and I can't add any new contacts or events to my calendar.

The "edit" box and "+" symbol don't even show up in my calendar or contacts so I can't edit or add in either.

Assuming you activated iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud and make sure Calendars and Contacts are set to ON.

Can't edit igoogle gadgets

My iGoogle homepage has a lot of gadgets that I want to delete but there isn't the normal drop down settings button in the header of each gadget. Also, if I go into settings in my account the gadgets are listed with a delete button next to each but the buttons are cold. Any suggestions?

Hi and welcome to the forums flaly12!
A couple of places for you to visit: Blackberry 101 Tips & Tricks
Pull the battery out with the device ON. Wait about a minute and put the battery back in. Let the BB completely restart (no data transfer arrows) and see if that doesn't help.
Clears out the memory and refreshes the BB; like rebooting your pc. When you have anomalous behavior in your BB a battery pull often helps to clear it up too. Post back and let us know how it goes.
Just found this thread as well Can't Edit or Add Contacts
Happy to have you here!
