Data entry problem with Date Book

am suddenly unable to enter data into the Date Book. Every keystroke results in a new 'untimed event' line being placed at the top of the screen.
I have loaded the latest firmware upgrade and tried warm and cold re-boots.
Any help appreciated
(Tungsten-C )

Hard reset tried several times. No change in the problem - before or after re-synching with desktop.
It appears that the Palm's program is no longer recognizing that keystrokes are being entered where there is a time (each key entry triggers a new and separate 'no-time' line at top of screen.
I am abler to enter data on computer and then transfer it to the Tungsten via 'synch'. Such data cannot be edited from the Palm (same result as above).
Also - if I enter a time to a 'no-time' entry, it too cannot then be edited or added to.
Help still needed, Thanks

3 Problems with Address Book-- now considering Bento

I have 3 problems with Apple Address Book that make it close to unusable for me, so I'm considering buying Bento 3:
1. *Can't un-do accidentally deleted text*- When you click in the "Notes" section, it will select all the text there by default (instead of merely inserting the cursor). If you are not paying attention, and hit any other key when it is selected, it deletes everything in there. UN-DO will not un-do this. I've verified and reported this issue to Apple, but it has still never been fixed or formally addressed (aside from many complaints in the Apple forums).
2. *Search doesn't always work*- Yesterday I searched for one of my entries, Harbor Freight, by typing in the search "harbor". Nothing came up. I thought that maybe I never actually added this business and started with a new one. After I created the new one, I noticed that now, along with the new entry, the old contact suddenly showed up in the left column.
3. *Cards disappear*- Many complaints on the web about this. I do not do any syncing with MobileMe or any device. Occasionally, cards just seem to vanish. Sometimes the card is actually still there, but changes in the Notes field or other fields I made on a previous day were evidently not saved and gone. Very frustrating.
Here's my concern with using Filemaker Pro's Bento: if it's using and accessing the same database as Address Book, all these problems might end up also existing in Bento. I use Address Book for business and personal and heavily rely on the Notes section. I can't keep wasting my time with this.
I don't mind paying the $50 for Bento if it resolves these issues, but the shared database worries me. I guess that I could create an independent Bento database that is completely separate from Address Book, but then I don't know how well it would integrate with Apple Mail.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Dave

DON'T DO IT. DO NOT INSTALL BENTO. I bought & installed it on 01/20/10 and it destroyed my address book. Gone forever. If you are having problems with Address Book now, wait until you see the damage created by Bento! Bento does not replace Address Book. It is a 'supplement' (at best) and uses and updates every file in your Address Book without you even knowing it! Well, you notice it when your database is destroyed and you find all of your contacts under 'No Name'. I am so serious. Bento is just a shell. None of your addresses are actually stored in Bento. They remain in Address Book. Every time you open Bento, it accesses your address book database, and starts re-formatting and re-working every entry along with any 'changes' you make. And who do you call for help? Apple says 'not our program'. Filemaker says 'we don't know anything about Mac's'.....I lost four years of addresses for all of my customers. Gone. In seconds! Just don't do it. Don't install Bento. And be sure to remove any 'smart groups' you have created as it seems to be at the root of most problems one encounters with address book.

How to fix a problem with my book pro that has a gray screen with a folder with a question mark on it

does any one know how to fix a problem with my book pro that has a gray screen with a folder with a question mark on it?

Hello Mokhtary123 and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
It will help us diagnose your problem to know the exact model, size, year built, RAM installed and OS you're running.
But basically your system can't find the boot disk. Usually this is a symptom of a dead/dying/corrupted hard drive;

Problem with Address Book and Exchange

Hello,
I have a little problem with Address Book and Microsoft Exchange 2003. I am able to connect to Outlook Web Access via Safari without problem. I see my contacts. Unfortunately when I setup everything needed in Address Book preferences (Synchronize with Exchange) the contacts didn't show in my Address Book. Strange thing is that no error is generated. can someone please help me what I am doing wrong ? Thanks in advance.

My suggestion is that you consider using Microsoft Entourage. For Exchange users on a Mac, Entourage is by far the best option. The down side is, you need to buy Microsoft Office 2004 to get Entourage, but your employer might own a site license, in which case, Office 2004 might not cost you anything.

MacBook will not reboot after problem with Address Book

I was using AB today.... I tried to go into preferences and it quit on me. The option came up for me to send a message to Apple but that disappeared too. I relaunched AB again - same thing. The next time I tried to go into preferences the application would not respond - force quitting would not work. I had to shut machine off and now it will not reboot at all.... Any suggestions?

I am having a problem with getting the data on want on the address label and only that data.
ie. I just want the name of the husband and wife along with their last name and mailing address.
IF I have the spouse listed in the contact, and children listed in the contact I get an odd label printed.
ie. instead of John and Mary Smith 1234 Hope Street Seattle, WA 98101 what ends up printing is:
John and Mary Smith, Mary, Bill, Susan, Tom 1234 Hope Street SEattle, WA 98101.
All those extra names makes the label font print smaller for those kinds of contacts. Is there a way to only put the information on the address label that I want?

You did not follow my post.
Insert your OS installer disk and reboot while holding down the c key. Select Utilities>Disk Utilities. Then run Repair Disk on your ard drive.

Problem with mac book pro

I just bought a new mac book pro. it has just been 2 days when I started getting a message saying that I need to restart my computer. My computer will just hang (and a dim light on the screen will appear with the message). The message is in the middle of the screen (in diffirent languages). Since i can not do anything ( i can't cancel the message, etc.), I would restart my computer. It usually happens when I'm connected to the internet (wi-fi). But one time, it happend even if I wasn't connected to the internet. Why is this happening? Is there something wrong with my new mac book pro?
please help.
mac book pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

don't bother reinstalling yet. It could be a hardware problem with the logic board. Try this:
Open up your hard drive and navigate to the following location:
Macintosh HD -> Library -> Logs
Find the 'panic.log' file and double click on it. It will open up in the 'Console' application. Look carefully though all of the text and see if you can locate a line similar to the following:
"panic(cpu 1 caller 0x00351082): mbuf address out of range 0x750208"
If you see this line, phone Apple and tell them that you've been told by an Apple engineer that your machine could possibly require a logic board replacement. Let them go through their usual checks with you but insist that they allow you to send them your panic.log via email. By looking at the log they will instantly be able to tell you whether or not your board needs replacing (under warranty, of course).
Let us know how you get on

All sorts of problems with Address Book

I am having a lot of problems with my Address Book all of a sudden. It started last Friday when out of nowhere my address book was empty. I used Time Machine to restore it and all was good, but then the next day, the same thing happened. Thankfully I had a backup of the archive and re-imported it and it worked well for a while then the same thing happened.
In total, it has erased itself about 3 or 4 times, and today a new issue has arisen: my groups have all disappeared. The contacts remain, just the groups are all gone. Smart Groups however have remained.
Any idea what could be going on here and how to fix it? I've also noticed a huge slowdown in my computer and see that "ADDRESSBOOKMANAG"is running often and taking up a ton of RAM.
Thanks for any help.

Well thankfully my address book has stopped deleting itself <knock wood>, but I'm STILL having the problem with AddressBookManag running all the time taking up tons of memory. Anyone know how to fix that?

Problems with address book after upgrading to Lion.

I have lost all my contacts and if I try to add a new contact it's gone after I close and reopen the address book.
Same thing if I import for example my gmail contacts.
But there is more. If I add a new group I can't edit the new, so it's stuck as 'untitled group' (and gone if I quit the address book and reopen it).
..and If I add a new contact I can't edit it once it's added. I simply don't have the edit button.
Someone having the same trouble? Or any suggestions how to solve it?
Thanks!
(So this is after upgrading to Lion and with the new address book 6.0)

I'm a super loyal Apple customer for over 20 years. But I have to say, even though Apple has unparalleled customer service, their responsiveness to software issues is non-existent.
I had a problem with iMovie a couple of years back that involved 40 hours of hard work for a client, only to have all my work lost due to a software bug. Many, many others had the same issue. Apple never acknowledged the issue. I doubt that they will acknowledge this issue.
That's shameful.
I email to various groups, including a local residential group to which I add or subtract residents that move in and out of the neighborhood. AddressBook is now totally useless because I can't a new resident to the existing group! AddressBook 6 has been out how many months now? Not a peep from Apple with this issue!

Problem with preview book

I'm updating an ibook in 2.0 and all is fine with the book. When I tried to upload the preview version it was rejected because it was originally produced in IBA 1.1.
When I update the preview book in IBA 2.0 how do I export/publish/save... so that I can upload it in ITP. The exported version that I produce doesn't get recognized by ITP.
Thanks

Previews must be in the same format as the main book. Using iBooks Author would mean the main book went up as .ibooks.
Still no joy, contact Apple directly via email or phone.

Problems with downloading books into DE 1.7

i have been purchasing books online for a number of months from various websites and installing them into DE with no problems. Just recently i tried to purchase a book from Books on Board when i tried to download the book i was prompted to install an upgrade to DE 1.7. Since i have done this i have been unable to download any ebooks from any of websites that i have used in the past. Everytime i attempt to download a book i get the same prompt to download this update and each time i do i still cannot get the book. I have uninstalled and reinstalled DE 1.7 a number of times but still the problem remains. Can anybody please help me resolve this problem. I am using Windows Vista on a Dell computer. I have also tried to install this on my laptop which also runs Vista with the same result.

You are launching and old version that get left around Perform a clean uninstall: 1.)Uninstall current version 1.7 a) Windows - do the uninstall from the Control Panel b) Mac - Delete \Application\Adobe Digital Editions.app 2.) Delete all the contents of the weird install location that begin with digitaleditions WinXP c:\Document and Setings\<user>\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\www.macromedia.com\bin Vista c:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\www.macromedia.com\bin Mac ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/FlashPlayer/www.macromedia.com/bin 2.) Download Standalone Installer from: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=digitaleditions 3.) Launch Stand Alone Installer This should end up with ADE launched and running Make sure to remove any shortcuts/links you were using to find the old versions.

Disabling iCloud, problems with Address Book and iCal.

Ok, I made the mistake of turning on iCloud before knowing much about it or really needing it. I just have a MBP and no other devices. So, I now have iCal and Address Book connected to iCloud. I've tried to disable it but have not had success. I export my data files for both and when I import the data back... the iCloud part comes with it. What is so strange is that I can add events to iCal and iCal works without a glitch. But, I can't make ANY changes to my Address Book. It doesn't save any and Address Book just crawls along at a snails pace as if it is broken. I believe this all started because I activated iCloud. I'm NOT syncing it to any other device so I don't need it.
Are these problems because of iCloud or because I exported/imported onto a new install? I'm using a different user name on my same computer... but the iCloud account has no changes.
I'm just confused as to what to do. My Address Book goes so slow and I can't edit it. I don't need iCloud, etc. I try to turn it all off and that solves nothing. I try to export / import my data file to my desktop and back after turning iCloud off and this solves nothing. iCloud just comes back with that data. What should probably be a simple task I can't solve.

Please let me know if this works for you guys, it was a lifesaver for me!

Isync problems with address book~doesn't sync all info from add book.

This is a strange problem but when I sync my Palm E2 using isync the iCal works great but the address book only syncs certain information like the phone numbers and email addresses. It does not sync the regular addresses or AIM screennames/notes or any other information in address book. ONLY phone numbers and email. I've tried starting over and reinstalling the palm 1.2 conduit but nothing has changed. I've also tried exporting vcards straight from address book using bluetooth but the hotsync log states that palm couldn't open the .vcf file. This is a used Palm E2 and it didn't come with the original installation CD so I was thinking that it might be missing some necessary plugins/conduits. I ordered a new install CD from Palm which I haven't received yet but I was wondering if there's anything I could do to fix this problem myself. Any help would be appreciated!

This would have occurred if, after performing the hard reset, you synchronized again. The framework would have interpreted this to mean that you wanted to delete all contact, calendaring and task data.
You may be able to restore the data using several different approaches. If you had already created a backup file for your contacts using the option labeled Back up Address Book… under the File menu in the Address Book, just restore it using the option labeled Revert to Address Book Backup…
You can do the same thing for calendaring and task data using iCal, if you had previously backed up those files using an equivalent option in iCal.
If you had not, for contacts, then you'll need to navigate to this location:
Macintosh HD:Users:<username>:Library:Application Support:AddressBook
Drag the AddressBook.data file to your desktop or to the Trash. Duplicate the AddressBook.data.previous file, rename it AddressBook.data and launch the Address Book. If you're incredibly lucky, you data has been restored.
There is no brain-dead simple way to restore calendaring and task data.
If your not successful with that approach and have reasonably contemporary data in your Palm Desktop file, you can launch that application and export your contacts as a vCard file and your calendars as a vCal file. You cannot export your task or to do data in a format which you can them import into iCal, so you'll lose those records.
To export contacts, select Export… from the File menu, choose a name and location for the exported data file, set Module: to Addresses, Items: to All <xxx> Addresses, and Format: to vCard. Then press the Export button.
To export calendars, select Export… from the File menu, choose a name and location for the exported data file, set Module: to Datebook, Items: to All Datebook Items, and Format: to vCal. Then press the Export button.
Double click on each exported file to import your data into the Address Book and iCal.
Correct of update any information in these records, then back them up as outlined above. Then launch iSync, open the Preferences… dialog, press the Reset Sync History… button, and follow the instructions which appear.
Did I mention backing up your contact, calendaring and task data?

Machine.config entry problems with ODAC1110510beta.exe

The ODAC1110510beta.exe adds entries under the <membership>, <profile>, and <roleManager> config sections in machine.config.
The problem is that the entries are added like this: (edited to save space)
<membership defaultProvider="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15" hashAlgorithmType="">
<providers>
<add name="OracleMembershipProvider" type="Oracle.Web.Security.OracleMembershipProvider... />
<clear />
<add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider... />
</providers>
</membership>
The OracleMembershipProvider was added in front of the AspNetSqlMembershipProvider. Then a <clear/> was added afterward -- removing the OracleMembeshipProvider that was just added. Obviously, that is not very useful. The same thing occurs in the Profile and RoleManager config section.
Please modify the install to added the Oracle provider entries at the end of the prooviders list.
<membership defaultProvider="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15" hashAlgorithmType="">
<providers>
<add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider... />
<add name="OracleMembershipProvider" type="Oracle.Web.Security.OracleMembershipProvider... />
</providers>
</membership>
Thanks,

Hello faustina,
According to the link below, this error may occur if there is a process that is attempting to log data to a database that does not exist or that Citadel cannot access. The root cause of this can be anything from a firewall, a corrupt process in the Distributed System Manager, or possibly the result of deleting different databases through Windows Explorer rather than using Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) (which doesn't seem to apply here). I've also included a customer forum below regarding this same error in which stopping all processes except for "System" and restarting the computer has solved this issue. Most likely, if you are no longer experiencing this issue and all that has changed was the installation of your software, it may have been corruption within the DSM.
