Fastest way to re-install address book app

My address book app is missing. The dash board still can reference my address book- and I have it on my .mac account- so all is not lost.
What is the fastest way to download the address book app back into my application folder?
Thanks,
Karen

Try using Pacifist to extract it from your computer's original disks; you may then want to rerun the Mac OS X 10.47 combo updater to ensure you have the current version of it.

Address book app is missing; how to install?

Hi,
After deinstalling the Office 2004 Test Drive software, my addressbook app is missing!
I looked in the apps folder, but its gone. Also i can't find it in the trash....
Now I want to install just the address book app again. How do I do this?
I could not find anything on the apple site or on other apple related sites.
Any help would be welcome !
Best regards,
Roeland van Delzen

You can use an application called Pacifist to grab it from the original install media.

My copy of Address Book App was erased from Maverick. How can I replace it?

Address Book App was deleted from the iMac running Maverick. My other iMac runs Snow Leopard and that version of Address Book 5.0.3. won't run on Maverick. Where can I d/l the software?
And how can I copy in the addresses from 5.0.3?
Appreciate the help.

I bought this iMac and another from a non-prof group that got a gift of newer Macs. The addresses in Address Book were theirs. I thought I was deleting them, but deleted the entire address app. This is the only machine I have running Mavericks. Others are on Snow Leopard.
I do not have the Mavericks install disk but I'll ask for it tomorrow.
PeachMac offered to install Address Book and any other system software for $69. But that's still not my contact list of 200 or so.
I'm investigating resources.
First I have to send my broken, no-boot MacBookPro to Florida for a motherboard or whatever it needs. I have a Snow Leopard Time Machine back-up for that. I doubt there's a way to Restore that back-up to a Mavericks machine. Apple ain't that kind.

Address Book app disappeared; how can I reinstall it?

Out of the blue, my Address Book app disappeared. The icon in the Dock has a question mark on it, and the application itself is no longer in my Applications folder, or anywhere on the drive. Even stranger, it's not in any of my Time Machine backups, even though it was working and present until yesterday.
Mind you, I'm not talking about the data. it's that the app itself is gone. Interestingly, my email still seems to act as if the Address Book contact information is still present. But if I select an address in an email "from" field, for example, and say "Open in Address Book," nothing happens.
Now here's an even weirder part. I also have a recent backup of my Apple Mail and Address Book using Email Backup Pro. After seeing that the Address Book app seems to have also disappeared from my Time Machine backups, I opened Email backup Pro and did a restore of my Address Book. The program reported that the Address Book was successfully restored, but nothing changed -- the Address Book app was still nowhere to be found. I've done this twice.
I also have my Address Book data on my iPod Touch (thankfully). Synching does nothing -- nothing changes on the iPod or on the hard disk, in terms of Address Book.
I'm baffled. Although I'd like to know what caused this, my more immediate concern is to get a functioning Address Book installed again. I booted from the Snow Leopard disc, but could see no option to install just the Address Book.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, John.

Yahoo! Mail glitches with Lion mail client and Address Book app

I had really been looking forward to using my Yahoo! mail account in the Lion mail client but now that it is here and I have set it up and used it for a few days I am noticing the following issues:
New mail is not always received or is received late. Yahoo! Webmail portal shows new items but these sometimes do not appear in Lion mail client even after a manual 'get mail' check.
Mail marked as read in Yahoo! Webmail portal or in mail clients in iOS devices such as iPhone or iPad is not marked as read in Lion mail client, however the reverse does work (i.e. mail marked as read in Lion mail client does mark the message as read in webmail and in clients on iOS devices).
Yahoo! Aliases are not supported. Yes, you can add aliases by inserting the other email addresses in the 'Email Address' field of the account settings, but you cannot add more than one display name.
I have also found that if you turn on Yahoo! contacts via the tick-box in the new 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars' pref pane in System Preferences that I end up with random duplicated contacts. These duplicates are not seen on iOS devices, just in the Address Book app. If you delete a duplicate contact, it deletes the contact altogether. However, I have found that if you keep contacts unticked in the pref pane and add your Yahoo! account the old-fashioned way (i.e. via the Address Book app's own preferences) then the contacts sync through perfectly with no duplications.
I would be interested to know if anybody else is experiencing these issues. It may be worth noting that mine is not a @yahoo.com address but @xtra.co.nz which belongs to my ISP here in New Zealand, but the mail is managed by Yahoo!. The account works perfectly as a Yahoo! account on iOS devices and does appear to be working in Lion, except for these small glitches but I don't imagine these are specific to @xtra.co.nz addresses.
Thanks
Steve

i've had the same experience here.
essentially it seems like lion mail.app just takes an incredibly long time to pickup new changes from the IMAP server at yahoo.
ios and webmail are obviously much quicker.
if it is working on ios, why does is it so delayed in mail?
any solutions out there?

I have lost Address book app how do I recover it please. Thank you.

I have lost Address book app how do I recover it please. Thank you.

No kids or pets --- just me!I don't think there is too much mystery about the deletion of Address Book on my laptop. I was trying to get it up-to-date from my desktop computer and as that is Lion and the laptop is sitll Leopard (all these ***** cats!) I must have trashed the laptop Address Book, then tried to install the one from Lion but, of course it couldn't be installed - wrong system! By then I had lost Address Book!! Horrors! I then lifted it from my husband's computer (Panther or something!) et voila! But I had expected to have all HIS names and address in Address Book when I opened it but -- not so, his were not there and mine were! Don't ask!!
Thanks again and regards, Lecia

Contact syncing and Groups in MacOS address book app

I have my iPhone set to only sync certain groups from my Address Book to the phone, not "all". When I add a new contact via the iPhone there's no way to designate which group it goes into so every now and then I have to do into the Address Book app and try to figure out which ones aren't in the correct group and fix them.
Is there any way I can assign contact groups via the iPhone?
thanks,
Bill

What are the correct privileges for Wheel in address book.app 5.0.3?

I think I messed with the privileges for Wheel in Address Book.app 5.0.3. Can anyone tell me if it should be set to Read only or to Read & Write?
Scared to close the info window until I have sorted this out!

Is there a way to export my Address Book to my iPod touch?

Is there a way to export my Address Book to my iPod touch so that I can access it through my email account on the iPod?

One of the main functions of the ipod touch is to sync your address book and calendar.

Why is the Address Book app slow to update my contacts?

When I try to import my Google contacts into my Mac Address Book via vCard (.vcf) format, Address Book app takes an eternity to finish updating (like a half hour or more), during which I cannot do anything else in the Address Book.
The last time I tried to do so, yesterday, my entire system became extremely slow and I had to restart the computer. BTW, I use Mac OS X v. 10.7.5 (Lion).
I also notice that searching for contacts within the Address Book is an extremely slow process. I begin to type a name and the program is very sluggish to respond or display anything, forcing me to type very slowly.
What can I do to resolve these issues so I can update and search for my contacts in the Address Book within reasonable amounts of time?

you have a 4G iPod. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

"...cannot use the application "Address Book.app" with 'leopard.'...????

I get the message: "You cannot use the application “Address Book.app” with this version of Mac OS X. "What does this mean, wat do I do? Do I lose my address book.?

you can do the following to transfer your Tiger addressbookdata file to Leopard if none of your other countermeasures are working.
Create a new folder and give it a name such as TigertoLeopard data or whatever;
then drag your Tiger addressbook data file into that folder;
add .abbu to the end of the name you gave that new folder;
remember where you placed the folder and use Leopard Mail import command.

Address Book app missing after ML upgrade

Hi - After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I no longer have the Address Book app in my Applications folder.
It exists on the backup clone I made just before I upgraded. But that version won't run under Mountain Lion.
2 Questions:
1) What happened?
2) How do I restore Address Book? Reinstall ML?
Thanks....

Doh. I had set up a hot key to call up Address Book.
When it failed, I looked in the Applications Folder. No Address Book!
I wish all my computer issues were this easy to fix...thank you.

TS1702 I LOST CONTENT WITHIN AN ADDRESS BOOK APP, THE APP WAS REGULARLY BACKED UP, I REMOVED THE APP FRONM MY IPHONE AND SYNCED IT BACK IN .THE APP SYNCED OK BUT THE CONTENT IS STILL MISSING

I LOST CONTENT WITHIN AN ADDRESS BOOK APP, THE APP WAS REGULARLY BACKED UP, I REMOVED THE APP FROM MY IPHONE AND SYNCED IT BACK IN .THE APP SYNCED OK BUT THE CONTENT IS STILL MISSING

That's because app content is stored in the iPhone backup, not the app. What you should have done, is first restore from backup, then sync your iTunes content...the app in question...back to your phone. That would have restored the app data. However, if you've synced, since restoring the app to your phone, the app data is gone.

Is there a way to attach my address book on my iPad to an email?

Is there a way to attach my address book on my iPad to an email?

It's time to do Christmas cards and I am no longer using my old PC. Of course I have all my addresses in the address book on my iPad and my husband has an apple computer. I was hoping I could mail him my address book and he could print labels. His address book is full of business contacts and I have also included friends and family in mine, but don't have printer actress to my iPad. I hate to drag out the old computer.

How to Re-Install Address Book Please?

When i open AddressBook it only shows me a blank grey box. It locks up when i click System Preferences. When i use the Address Book Widget i can search my addresses. But i cannot see the Address Book Application.
Please tell me how to re-install Address book. I tried the MacOSX Tiger disk and run the Adressbook.pkg but it says there is nothing to install.
Is there no simple Address Book download?
Help please

What locks up when you click System Preferences?
Is the Address Book application in your Applications folder? (The main one, not the one in your home folder)
What happened before it stopped working?
How are you starting Address Book?
If it does need reinstalling you should be able to do it as an optional installation from your installation DVD. Make sure to run the appropriate Combo updater afterwards, to bring it back up to date.
