Help I accidentally threw away my address book application

Is there any way to download just the address book, I threw it away by accident. I tried to load it from the system disk but it's not an option. I searched for it on Apple but only found add ons. Thanks!

I threw it away by accident.
How can you throw away a critical application by accident?
You can reinstall it from your Mac OS X install/restore disc.
1. Insert your Mac OS X disc.
2. Navigate to the Optional Installs folder and open the Optional Installs.mpkg file inside. Check the box on the installer to choose Address Book and install it.
3. Eject the Mac OS X disc, use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions, then launch Address Book.

  • HELP I deleted the mail and address book application, Is there a free DL???

    This used to be my mom's macbook but she gave it to me, at first her old mail account kept popping up in random occasions and couldn't figure out how to change the mail account to mine so I deleted it altogether permanently. Now it would be more convenient for me to have it, is there a way I can get it back if it has been perm. deleted? Or is there somewhere where I can download these apps?
    Please help! Thanks

    Simple enough:
    backup your whole system with time machine using external storage, then re-install Mac OS X but chose to only restore your own files in your "home" directory, or whichever number of accounts you have on the machine. So a clean install + restore some files (yours). The rest of the applications will have to be re-installed though.
    If you don't have an external hard drive or Mac OS X install disks, ask around, between family and friends, someone is bound to have a drive they can lend you, and the Snow Leopard OS X install disc (an original one, that is, not the discs that come with a specific machine) have no copy protection themselves. Since this is an accident, I'd be damned if someone would construe this as an illegitimate series of action!

    There is one faint glimmer of light. Depending on where you bought PSE you might have gotten a redemption code rather than a serial number. If you didn't also throw away your receipt, check that for a code. Then go here, if you find one:

    But otherwise, I'm afraid you are out of luck, sorry.
    Barbara,
    It has been months since I visited here.  Your patience is still intact!  I have your wonderful PSE 11 book on my Kindle now.  Thanks for the good work.

    The problem with accessing the content of the disks is the CD Drive does not seem to access them. It also has a heck of a time ejecting them. Other disks seem to read. The unit came with imovie disks and I can use them. The disks look perfectly good no scratches but they just don't work, I was hoping I could just get a online copy of the address book to replace the one that seems to be missing. Or find it somewhere on my drive. Have no clue where to look though. 

  • How can I export Outlook 2007 contacts to Leopard Address Book application?

    Hi,
    I just bought a MAC and I want to get rid of my PC, but first i want to export my CONTACTS from my Windows MS Outlook 2007 and import them in Leopard Address Book application.
    Any way I can do that ?
    Many thanks !

    I don't know if doing it with single vcards is the way you want to have it. This can be a quite big task when having many contacts.
    In Outlook You can export them as text file. You got to +File - Import and Export+. In the assistent you choose "Export to file". Then you choose "comma seperated (Windows)" In the next step you mark your Contacts folder. Then you choose where you want to save your output file. (I mountet my Documents folder on the mac and saved it there). Finish this assistent.
    Now on the mac you open AdressBook. +File - Import - text+ file and choose then your .csv file. Now in the AdressBook a import window opens where you can set all the fields matching to where Outlook stored the information. But basicly it should work without doing there something. Then you can import all Your Outlook contacts in one run.
    Hope this helps You!

  • How do I re-install my address book application?

    While trying to import my contacts from my Hotmail account, I melted my Address Book application and had to send it to the trash. How do I re-install it? Can I re-install it? Do I have to re-install the whole operating system? Please help, I'm trying to learn how to use my mac!!

    G'day.. and welcome to the forums.
    I cannot imagine any circumstance where importing data would require that you delete the Address Book application!
    Have you emptied your trash? If not, move it back to your Applications folder.
    If not, the simplest path (least technical) path could be an Archive and Install, preserving users.
    Otherwise (if you are confident), install [Pacifist|http://www.charlessoft.com> and grab your Leopard install DVD. You should then be able to locate the Address Book in one of the installation packages - and you will be able to install it directly.
    You will then need to download the combo update to your operating system level (e.g 10.5.4), and install any Address Book updates that apply to that as well.
    I hope this helps.

  • How do I download a new address book application?

    My son deleted Address Book and now he wants its back. A software restore did not put the address book back. How do I find a way to download a new copy of the application Address Book? (He also deleted Mail app but I transferred mine over to his computer but that did not work for address book. I am running Tiger and he panther) I will strangle my son soon. Help. He should not delete applications willy nilly..not to mention they are really useful. Help.
    Ella

    Hello Ella.
    If you are running Tiger and your son is running Panther, I'm not sure how the Tiger Mail.app version is working with Panther. If it is working, it probably won't be for long. Your son needs the Panther version of Mail and Address Book which are not available as a download.
    You need to use an application called Pacifist with the Panther install package which allows for installing individual applications from the Panther install discs without re-installing the entire OS.
    You can download Pacifist at the following link.
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12743
    If your son is currently running 10.3.9 and the Panther install package includes an earlier version, after re-installing the Panther Mail.app and Address Book using Pacifist, you need to download the 10.3.9 Combo Update and re-install 10.3.9 to get the re-installed Mail.app and Address Book applications to the current version as of 10.3.9.
    You can download the 10.3.9 Combo Update here.

    If this still doesn't help then you could contact Sun to get help from Sun Professional Services. Writing a custom Convergence application is far from trivial.

  • No link to the Address Book application from Address Book Widget?

    Before I could click the little red button, but with the new (10.4.4) widget, is there a way to launch the Address Book application?
    1.5 GHz PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I don't think there is a way to launch the Address Book app with the new 10.4.4 widget like we could before. I noticed that right away and went to the Mac OS X Feedback page to report it. If it bugs you as much as it bugs me you should report it too.
    Here's the link just to make it easy:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
    I like the new design ("front end") of the 10.4.4 Address Book widget, but I immediately missed the handy red button. I hope we see that feature reintroduced in the next update.

  • Re: Apple address book application PRINT PROBLEM

    When printing a hard copy of my address book, I encounter these problems...
    1, in any print format I use,  whether compact or indexed, whether I choose landscape or portrait, some info for the last contact in a column will "wrap" up to the next column with the 1st line cut off at the top!  The card name in the first column prints just fine, but one column over doesn't start with a card name and the info that starts to print there is only half a line, cut off at the top!
    2, the "Notes" field won't print.  I cannot find any print field option to show the notes I have made.  I cannot find any way to add a "notes" field in the card template.  I would change a field to a custom name, but then the field itself doesn't accommodate what I need to record there.
    3.  I have tried to change the font size in the print options, but the font size will not change to a larger type when I print.  
    Can anyone help with a Fix for these issues?  Or can anyone suggest a purchased Apple application that I could export my address file to and print with more options than the standard Apple address book application? 

    Hi,
    have a look at Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/
    It should do the trick.
    Regards

  • Address Book Application has disappeared from iMac

    my son has an iMac with OSX 10.4 (Tiger). the Address Book application has literally disappeared from his computer. i suspect that i need to re-install Address Book, but cannot find where/how to do that anywhere on apple.com. any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Both the Tiger and Leopard Installer discs include an Optional Installs installer. Launch this installer (found in the Optional Installs folder on the Leopard disc) and at the root level in the Tiger Installer disc. Launch the installer and click the continue buttons until you reach the Custom Install screen. Click the triangle next to Applications, tick the box next to Address Book, and click the Install button to install Address Book.

  • Address Book application no longer launches

    I broke my laptop a few weeks ago and had the data manually retrieved and put on a hard drive. I bought a new macbook pro earlier and I was manually transferring the application files when i think i accidentally overwrote the address book application. Note my old computer was using tiger - so every time I try to launch address book it says something like this address book doesnt work with this version of Mac OS X. So I deleted Address Book from application and ran the 10.5.3 update. Address Book is back, but now has no logo (it looks like the application logo) and doesn't do anything when I click on it.
    How do I get my address book back!?

    An update won't replace the whole program. You either need to get it from the instal DVD or copy from a Leopard version, then run update, again.
    Pacivist will allow you to pull individual programs off the install DVD.

  • Address book application won't open

    I just got a new IPhone and I wanted to import my contacts from Entourage. I used the Help function to get the method and did an export using LDAP. However, the Address book application will not let me in to edit, import or do anything other than add a current email address to the address book. I tried opening the Address book from the Finder but when I click on it nothing happens and it doesn't open. What should I do next?

    sblady,
    If you are running the latest updates to Entourage, you don't need to export the contacts with LDAP from Entourage to get them into Address Book.
    This article contains more information:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305938
    I am unclear from the text of your post if Address Book is not opening at all, or if it is just not allowing you to do anything once it opens. This article shows several of the Address Book screens:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/disc.html
    Do any of those screens come up?
    Hope this helps,

  • MacBook Address Book Application Does Not Run

    MacBook OSX 10.5.8 - Address Book application will not run - it shows up in Applications Folder but will not run - either double click or command File - Open.  I have reinstalled the Address Book application with the original installation disk, which indicated the application was installed, still will not run.  Rebooted, reinstalled again - same result -- the Applications Folder shows the file size as 1.4 Mb - updated today - the installation disk showed approx. 53 Mb was being installed - not sure if the Application Directory is only showing a command file or what - also ran the hardware diagnostic and found no problems.  Software update shows current software is up to date.
    Haven't used Address Book so do not know if it ever worked.  Need it now to sync with IPhone 4.  Any Ideas?

    rjackjr,
    After reinstalling an Apple application from the installation disk, it is also necessary to reinstall the latest Combo Update for the installed system. In your case that would be Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update.
    Try that and see what happens with your Address Book application.

  • I've lost my address book application. How do I get it back?

    My address book application has disappeared. Can I download it somewhere?

    Insert your installer DVD, open the Optional Installs folder, double-click on the Optional Installs package.  You can select Address Book for installation.  You will have to re-run the 10.5.8 Combo Updater if the version of OS X on the installer DVD is not 10.5.8.
