Computer crashed, move hard drive to another computer. How do I find address book on the hard drive to import to new computer

I need to retrieve contacts from my wifes thunderbird profile. all I have is the hard drive from the crashed computer. Where can I find the address book? I have to use two different computers as her new computer has no spot for another hard drive

have you enabled viewing of hidden files and folders? see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=windows-7
Windows hides the application data folders and you must override the setting to find anything it contains.

  • How can I access Address Book data from an older version of the application to transfer it to a newer version of Mac OS running on a second hard drive on the same MDD G4?

    I installed a hard drive from one PowerPC Dual 1.25 GHz MDD into another one with an older version of the OS X.  all my Address Book data are on the older hard drive, from which I now boot the computer.  When I launch Address Book as an app on the hard drive with the newer version of the OS, I get an error message that says I cannot run the version of Address Book from the older hard drive on the newer OS.  How can I access the data on the older hard drive version of the Address Book app so that I can transfer it to the newer version of the app on the boot drive?  The "Import" functionality will not work. I will be grateful for any help I can get.  I would also like to uninstall the older version of OS X from the older hard drive.

    Boot from the older version of OSX, then in AB use the File>Export>Export vCard after selecting all in AB.
    Then boot from the new OSx & use the new AB to import that VCF file.

  • How do u find itunes files on the computer

    how do u find itune files on the computer mine wont load right

    They are there as iTunes can't find the files. I get what you want to say. Try to remember if you had a hard drive or USB Stick containg Music? As removing it would cause iTunes to look for it. On a PC the iTunes apps and stuff are in Music>iTunes>iTunes Media

  • Multiple address books on the same computer: How to

    Hi!
    I'll get in the near future my wife's iPhone 3G (unless she keeps it and take her 3GS instead) - but want want to be 100% sure we can have separate address books on the same computer. The question is simple: how do we go about that?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi!
    If it's just the address book that should be different: in iTunes, you can specify for each device what it should sync. For your contacts, you can specify in iTunes which contact groups to sync (at least on my Mac using Address Book I can).
    Does this mean I need to create separate contact groups in the same address book file or can I create a second file? I'd much rather use the second solution. The first solution would in fact mean creating three groups: "His", "Hers" and "Both". This is a shotcut for contact management nightmares!
    Thanks in advance,
    Claude

  • I need to move 1000 photos from one library to another. How do I do that and keep the ratings and dates they were created?

    I need to move 1000 photos from one library to another. How do I do that and keep the ratings and dates they were created? I tried exporting them, but it loses all info. Also, how do I move the quicktime movies from one iphoto library to another? They were exported as jpgs

    Add both libraries to iPhoto Library Manager.  Then select the events or albums that you want to copy from library A  and drag them to library B in iPLM.

  • I can't retrieve my address book data from G Drive to import to new addr book in Snow Leopard

    I am really annoyed by Apple these days. Just had to purchase iwork and sundry other software after upgrading to Snow Leopard and the Lion on my system. Now, have just received my wife's iMac from being "fixed" the hard drive was brloken. It was supposed to have had Snow Leopard uploaded for me. It was not so I have just done that, however I can't get the address book fron the G Drive to upload to the new system. Each time I access the address book on the G drive I get a message saying that it is an old system (4.1.1) and will not open in this system. How do I get that data off the G Drive and onto the upgraded iMac?

    Thank you for getting back to me.
    I tried what you said. I moved my old address book file into my new hard drive but it still opens "empty".
    When I look up my addresses in Spotlight it finds them and seems to recognize them at address book files but it doesn't want to open them. When I double click on them it opens address book but the not the file.
    When I click on the file and look at "more info" on it, I can see the information is in there.
    I don't want to loose all my contacts.
    On a side note do you have any easy tips for backing up?
    Thank you again,
    Trent

  • I have rented a movie on my ipad. It did not download due to not being on wifi at the time.  I know I completed the rental because my gift card balance went down $3.99 plus tax.  How do I find where to download the movie?

    I have rented a movie on my ipad. It did not download due to not being on wifi at the time.  I know I completed the rental because my gift card balance went down $3.99 plus tax.  How do I find where to download the movie?

    But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it?
    If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

  • Moving adobe 9 standard from 1 machine to another. How can I find the activation code on the old machine to activate on new machine

    moving adobe 9 standard from 1 machine to another. How can I find the activation code on the old machine to activate on new machine?

    You didn't really clarify much, just repeated the same question. First of all, Adobe is a company with many products.
    Are you talking about Adobe Acrobat? If so you need to deactivate it on the old machine and then use enter the serial-number (as described) when installing it on the new machine. It will then activate itself automatically over the internet. Just keep in mind that Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Windows 8 and to make it compatible with Windows 7 you have to update it to at least version 9.2 after the installation.

    Followed the directions on this page. Books are not listed among the options at step five, only movies tv shows and music, so how do I download my books then? I previously purchased two audiobooks on iTunes.  They are available on my iPad, but not here.

    If you go into Edit > Preferences then on the General tab on the popup that you get you should be able to select which types of content 'show' - tick the box against 'Books' :
    Books then show under your 'Library' - if you select it, are those audiobooks listed there ?

  • I made a Blurb book through Lightroom 5, on another computer, backed it up on an external hard drive and tried to import it into my imac.  I got the picture files, but could not get the book I had worked on.  How do I find my book?

    I made a 'Blurb' book using Lightroom on a computer that was not mine.  I backed up the book on an external hard drive and then tried to import the book into my imac.  I wasn't able to retrieve my book.  The photos I used for the book project are there, but the 45 page book I made is not there.
    What do I need to do?

    You would need to go to the computer containing the book.
    Select the saved book in the Collection panel.
    Go to Grid View [ G ] and select all the images [Cmd/Ctrl][A]
    File>Export as Catalog and store on media you can use to transfer
    Bring this catalog onto your computer
    File>Import from another catalog and bring the transitory catalog into your master catalog.
    It should bring the images, your collections (including your book) and other settings into your own catalog.

  • How do I reload Address Book back on to my computer

    I have been difficulty with Address Book & Sycning to my phone. It completely deleted all my contacts!
    And I accidently deleted the Address Book as I was following the instruction to delete files from the library pertaining to Address Book as I was instructed in a support file I found.
    I would like to know if I reinstall with the CD for MAC OS 10.4.11 will it delete everything else that I already have for different programs that I use? And if I save on a disk will it retrieve back into the correct area category. Or should I burn a separate disk for (i.e. calendar, contacts, pictures, music, etc..)
    I've tried restoring from off my hard drive but it cannot locate the where to restore. Any help would greatly be appreciated!

    o iTunes 4.7.1
    o Mail 2.0

    But first, do this...
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, then use Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities to Repair Permissions, then reboot when it finishes.

  • HT1296 I want to synch my address book using the usb connection to my computer, but the IPad doesn't appear on the desk top?

    I want to synch my address book to my I-Pad using the usb connection to my computer, but the IPad doesn't show up on the desk top or in I-Tunes. Any suggestions?

    Try again to install the latest version of iTunes; http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Otherwise when your iPad is connected with your computer and iTunes open try several times; Keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your iPad screen.

    I know i have a G5 in my profile but as i said in my first post of this thread im using my macbookpro dual 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM so the apogee has nothing to do with this computer.
    I ran rember last night and i woke up after 12 hours and it was still running.
    I put loops onto maximum and RAM allocation to maximum to get full testing.
    Any ideas on why its taking this long or is it normal?
    Cheers, Benji
