Can't find address book entries in Entourage after migrating from G4 Tiger

I was able (with some help from these discussion groups) to successfully migrate from G4 Tiger OS to a MacBook Pro. This is my husband's computer and he really needs the address book entries. Interestingly, some did appear, but not all.
I'm not sure where they reside in the files.
Please advise.
Thanks

No contacts in address book, can not find address book anymore

I was trying to switch default email accounts, Hughes.net was the default and Yahoo the secondary and I wanted to swap these around as I am no longer using Hughes net.
In doing so I lost all email folders and address books. I have rebuilt the folders but now I see that I have no address book in either accounts.
Are they gone for good?
Thanks.
Jeff

There are two default address books in Thunderbird. Both of these address books can be copy pasted between mail accounts.
''Personal Address Book'' is called '''abook.mab'''
''Collected Addresses '' is called '''history.mab'''
These are stored in your Profile folder in the mail account name. But it would need your old mail account to be intact in order to copy anything from it to another mail account.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
* C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Profile name\ mail account name
The AppData folder is folder is a hidden folder; to show hidden folders, open a Windows Explorer window and choose "Organize → Folder and Search Options → Folder Options → View (tab) → Show hidden files and folders".
If your original mail account is still there: Profiles\Mail\mail account name
You could simply recover it. Info here:

Remember, when performing any changes in Profiles folder, Thunderbird must be closed first.

Can't delete address book entries!

I am trying to sync Address Book with Google Mail, and as part of this, I have to delete all my addresses on one side and then copy from the other side.
When I delete all my addresses in Address Book, quit, and relaunch Address Book, I find... all my addresses. Even if I delete them a few at a time, I still find most of my addresses after quit and relaunch. Is Address Book totally broken?
For instance, I have 668 contacts. I delete one, quit, relaunch and I have 667 contacts. But if I have 667 contacts and delete 31, quit and relaunch and I have 667 contacts!
Yes, all sync software is turned off.

Thank you V.K. I tried that, and restored from backup. Same behavior.
Turns out that my address book was corrupted, and it appears that the corruption is preserved in the "abbu" backups. When I deleted the Address Book folder, and then imported from a vcf file, it was fixed. All my groups were gone of course.
Still finding lots of bugs in Address Book not related to corrupt data, but this appears to be fixed

PSE 9 Organizer Slide show can't find the slide show project files after moving from XP to Windows 7

A bad computer virus forced us to move all our files and programs from XP to Windows 7. The PSE Editor seems to be working properly, but the Organizer Slide Show can't find the project files. The structure of each of the 15 slide shows (blank slides) is there and any text I had added, but the pictures and music are missing. Our computer Tech is not too familiar with PSE and may not have the files in the right spot. Evidently XP and Windows 7 are organized a little differently and use different names. He still has all the PSE files from our old hard drive in a folder and probably just needs to know where to put them.

+Windows Vista has different file locations than Windows XP+
This is the problem - the iTunes ITL file from XP is using XP paths, which don't exist in Vista. Here are some directions that have worked for others:
- Copy your entire iTunes folder --- not just the iTunes Music folder but basically everything under "My Documents" - to external storage
- Copy those files to your "Music" folder on your Vista system. The end result should be that you have "Documents\Music\iTunes" on Vista, where you had "My Documents\My Music\iTunes" on XP
- Put a fresh install of iTunes on the Vista system.
- When you run iTunes for the first time, hold down the Shift key. If it asks you to select a library file, pick the one you just transferred over.
- The end result should be your library, including all ratings, play counts and play lists, sitting on the new system.

Can't see EJB objects in Application Navigator after migration

Hello
I can't see any objects in Application Navigator after migration from previous version of JDeveloper (9.2.0.5), in System Navigator view I can see all sources. Has somebody any idea what the reason is?
Tom

In the application navigator you should see one node per EJB, when you stand on it you'll see the various source files in the structure window.

Can I use Mackeeper to remove duplicate address book entries?

On my MacBook using OS 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5.1, after syncing with iPad2 and iPod Touch I now have 3 and 4 copies of most Address Book entries ON MY MAC BOOK. Can I use Mackeeper to remove duplicates? No option to remove duplicates ever appeared during the sync process.

I suggest if you have MacKeeper install, that your first move be to uninstall it.
Here is a script to find duplicates in addressbook

How can I delete ALL of my Address Book entries and start fresh?

Yes. I know that sounds extreme, but……
I use Outlook on a PC at my office, and I have an sbcglobal/Yahoo mail account. I look upon my office Outlook as my ultimate contacts list (over 1,100 entries) and my calendar.
I use the sbc supplied free Intellisync software to sync all of my calendar and contacts from my office PC into sbc/Yahoo. That way I actually get e-mail reminders of appointments, etc. in addition to my Outlook notifications. It is actually pretty nifty.
I have also successfully signed-on to my Yahoo account at home on my MAC and exported all of my contacts from Yahoo (which had been populated by the PC Outlook listings via Intellisync) onto my desktop and then imported them into Address Book. But I did that some time ago and now my Outlook listings have been updated rather substantially. I would like to able to do a complete re-install of the new and improved contacts from the Yahoo repository.
Again - I certainly do not want to delete the Address Book app itself – I just want to start with a clean slate so there are no conflicts or duplicate entries (which in fact is seemingly a bug in the Yahoo/Intellisync. Is there a way to completely wipe clean all of my Address Book entries?
Thanks

Hello Allan -
Your help on a previous post was great re: my wanting to know how to delete the Address Book contents so I can re-import an updated list form my office Outlook, via my yahho/sbcglobal import.
Well - here is an interesting quandary:
I have successfully exported my yahoo address book/contacts as a .vcf file Yet - once I have expunged the prior Address Book data and want to now import the NEW Yahoo data to rebuild the database it only takes (enters) the phone numbers and does NOT import ANY of the address information. I am positive I did this once since our original exchange and everything transferred just fine, but now….?!
What I cannot determine is where the fault may be: does the export NOT include the addresses (in which case I am doing something fundamentally stupid wit the export) or the vcf cards are complete, but Address Book is not “seeing” anything other than the phone #s and e-mail addresses.
Any thoughts?
Dazed and confused

If you have a Mac, it's pretty easy. But you don't (should I make a pitch for you to get a MacBook Pro in the future)?
This should help you out to sync it back to several non-Apple software:

Can I have Mail format the "From" field based on my Address book entries?

I have most of my contacts in my address book, but Mail still displays the "From" field in the message list pane with the normal email address header.
Here's an example:
User A emails me a message from this address:
"User A" <[email protected]>
In my Address Book, I have User A's info as this:
First Name: Bob
Last Name: Marley
Email Address: [email protected]
In Mail, though, the "From" field in the message list view still says ...
User A
... when I want it to say ...
Bob Marley
Does that make sense? How can I do this?

All you need is a plug adaptor, if required. Apple sells an adapter kit:

How do i remove my photo from my Address Book entry?

two questions: first, how do i remove my photo from my entry in Address Book? i should be able to click "Edit", select my photo and hit the Delete key and be done, but no - hitting the Delete key does nothing except make the photo blink.
second, i just posted a comment on a web page that i've never been to before, on a site that i've never been to before, and my photo appeared on the web page next to my comment. very creepy. anybody know why this is and how i make it stop? does it have something to do with my Address Book entry?
update: i've consulted Address Book's help and it tells me to select the card then go Card -> Clear custom image, but when i do, that menu item is grayed out.
further update: i've worked around the problem by taking a screen shot of a blank white area of a webpage and making that my photo...but i shouldn't have to do that and would still like to know how one actually deletes one's photo from Address Book. Address Book's help indicates that i'll find such photos in Library/Images/People, but there's no such directory in any of my Library folders. Address Book's help is not being very helpful today.
tia...

there is actually no way to completely delete an image for you address book entry. you can only change it to something else as you did.
as for the image on that website, most likely it pulled your photo from your webpage on some site like My Space, Facebook etc. do you have a page like that? some sites will tap directly into your webpage and pull your pic from it.

Reply works, but address book entry doesn't

I have an odd problem that's making me a litttle batty. I have an friend I e-mail regularly and--since recently switching to Mail from Eudora--I've been finding that some of my messages are not getting through.
I'm not 100% certain, but it seems that when I send a new message that's addressed from the Address Book entry, the message is never received. But when I REPLY to a message from this same recipient--same address--the message goes through just fine.
I've reviewed the address again and again and it's entered correctly.
When I look at the Long Header, one difference I note between the received and no-received maessages is under Content-Type.
A successful message has:
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=Apple-Mail-8-603300258
And a failed message:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed
Another difference is that the failed messages--the ones that originated with me have something called:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
While the messages I reply to don't have that line at all.
The recipient--by the way--is at work at a large organization. So I wonder if their mail servers are blocking messages with certain kinds of encoding?
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
OK, OK...this just in. While I was composing this message, I was also franticly corresponding with the adressee in question, trying to troubleshoot this. I may have solved my own problem, but I'm going to post this anyway... In hopes of solving someone else's problem, and possibly getting some responses that will enlighten me further (cuz I just don't get this).
On a wild guess/hunch, I went into PREFERENCES/COMPOSING and changed the Message Format: from Rich Text to Plain Text. The next test message got through! One difference (if it matters??) I found in the Long Header was the
Content-Type changed from:
text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed
to
text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed
So anyway...I'm completely flummoxed. Any ideas, clues, answers out there? I'm not going to trust yet that this problem is completely solved. So I'll leave this as an open question for now.
verbosely yours,

Hmmm... there's nothing fancy about the signature (no bolds, itals or other styles or colors). But does that mean that it IS plain text? My setting when I made the signature(s) was Rich Text, I'm sure. So would that apply, even though it's plain for all intents and purposes? And if it's not. How is it changed to Plain Text?
As far as the SMTP settings. I tried one change last night. I changed the Server settings from "smtp.ispname.net:username" to "smtp.ispname.net:[email protected]". When I tested a message to the address/server I've had the most problems with, the message arrived successfully. But I don't think that proves anything as yet. The nature of the problem has been mysteriously intermitent anyway. (that message had my regular signature as well).
AS I'd mentioned, I've been moving stuff out of my Sent Mail folders to keep things organized and for reference (Is doing that OK? is Sent Mail suppposed to be left wher it is for some reason?). But on informal investigation, I would say that all of the messages I've sent--original or reply--HAVE shown up in the Sent Mail folder.
The discussion thread I'd been involved in with you before is:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=347863
However, I haven't added any posts since way back then.
Thanks you for any insights you can give me with this. If you're not on Apple's payroll, you should be.

Duplicate Contact/Address Book entries on iPhone

why do I have duplicate contact and address books entries on my iPhone? I never had this problem until I upgraded to iCloud. I have an iPhone 4 and it is upgraded to the current OS.

If you are using Outlook 2011, make sure you have the latest service pack and update.
Make sure your Mac Book and all devices have the latest update.
If the Calendar on the Mac Book is correct go to step 3
Assuming Mac Book Calendar is correct, remove accounts from iPhone, iPad.
Reconnect account to iPhone, iPad account.
All calendars should now be in sync.
There are times when the Mail, Calendar, Contact application has been corrupted (Outlook 2011, Mac Mail, Entourage, etc). This will cause all kinda of issues on your devices. You have to repair the mail client first. In the case of Outlook you can delete the profile and recreate it. In Mac Mail you can rebuild (from Tools on the menu bar)

Address book entries erased - need help

Does anyone know how to recover erased Address book entries? I've found that Contact info inside a card can be easily erased/typed over and there does not appear to be an easy way to "undo" as the Edit/Undo command doesnt seem to work in this application. The downside of using Mobile Me is that my devices are getting wiped out quicker than I can copy down the info and save it.

Thanks for the suggestions VK. Turned out I had some core operating system files that had been corrupted,
how did you find that out exactly?
Genius said I had to re-install.
did you try what I said? i suggest you do that before reinstalling. that's quick and easy and won't hurt anything. if the problem is with your AB database file then reinstalling won't help but what I said will. and since you have time machine you should not reinstall in any case. you should just do a full system restore from TM from before the problem started.

Time Machine will not restore Address Book entry

I noticed that one Address Book entry has become 'corrupted' possibly when synched with my mobile phone. The name had become truncated and I had lost my notes and address details, retaining just the telephone numbers. When I access Time Machine I can see the original file. When I click restore it 'drags' this file to the current desktop, and the file appears for half a second within the address book and then disappears. When I do restore all it asks me whether I want to import all records and allows me to deal with duplicates, but still nothing is restored. What is going on?

I think you may be missing step:
Open a window for the item you want to restore.
For example, if you accidentally deleted a file from your Documents folder, open the Documents folder. If you want to recover an email message, open your inbox in Mail.
If you’re missing an item from the desktop, you don’t need to open a window.
Click the Time Machine icon in the Dock.
If Time Machine isn’t in the Dock, look for it in the Applications folder.
Use the arrows or the timeline along the right side of your screen to browse through all the backups Time Machine has created.
If you need more information about an item, double-click to preview it.
The windows behave just like Finder windows, so you can open folders, click items in the sidebar, and use the search field in the upper-right corner of the window.
When you find the item you want to restore, select it and then click Restore.
You can restore individual items, multiple items, folders, or your entire hard disk.
If an item you restore has the same name as another item on your computer, you’re asked if you want to keep the current item, the restored item, or both.

HT1495 My husband and I share an i cloud account but each have our own separate ipads. We were told this would work, but now I can't find a book that I've downloaded on my ipad anymore. Where would I find it?

You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that. Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card. Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account.
Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud. Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account. To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate.
