Hello Darwin, & a warm welcome to the forums & Macdom!
It's easy to drag them up off the Dock, open your Applications folder, drag Address Book from the Window to where you want it in the Dock, rinse & repeat.

  • What happens to personal folders and address book from old email when I change to new email

    I got a new email address. I am going to quit using the old one, which was was with Comcast When I cancel Comcast service, how can I make sure that I do not lose my personal folders and address book. Also, if I can keep the personal folders, which contain emails with the old Comcast email address, will I be able to read them?
    Thank you.

    The address book is unaffected.
    Comcast is as I recall a pop mail provider. If your using IMAP this is useless to you, so speak up.
    If you right click the Comcast account in the folder pane and select settings. Under server setting for the account change the settings to not check for mail. Click the advanced settings and change the check this server to off as well. Doing this stops Thunderbird driving you mad with unable to connect messages for the defunct account.
    Go to the outgoing server (SMTP) and delete the Comcast SMTP server. This will prevent you from accidentally replying to old mail and getting an error as the Comcast account is no longer.

  • HT1349 when i turn on my mac pro it is very slow I don't know what happen what should i do?

    Dear Sir
    I have a problem with my note book (Mac pro). when I turn on my note book it is very slow. I have to waite for long time I don't know what happen. how should I do?
    yours.

    If you have a non-retina MBP then the noise is part of tye OSX startup routine.  It is checking the optical drive, and is nothing to be alarmed about.

  • I have a new Imac with OS Lion.  When i use the apple migration tool to transfer from my PC to the Mac, it runs for two hours or so exchanging my pictures and address book, but when completed, I cannot locate anything on the Mac!  Any suggestions?

  • Knowing what to do with iPhoto and Pictures on my mac

    Hi! I am a complete beginner and this is my first time on these forums. I guess I have had my Mac Mini for about a year and although I do love it i still haven't touched the surface of the things it can do, in all honesty I guess I'm a bit scared to do or try too much and this is proved in my problem: sorry about the preamble!
    About two months ago I was looking at my pictures on the slideshow from a distance after I had finally realised that the pictures I had needed to be put into iPhoto 6 personally; so that done, I noticed that they were still in Pictures on my mac, as well as in iPhoto - I DID NOT know that these two packages operated simultaneously, together (is this correct?) Anyway I deleted the pictures from Pictures and then I noticed that they had vanished from iPhoto 6 too. BANG! About 1000 photographs gone and vanished, that had come from me man and boy, and PC! Any chance of getting them back?

    Yes, they are mixed up, like events/albums from a baby shower are now mixed in with a housing photo shoot, etc. So I don't quite know why or how it happened,it could be because when I migrated them from my windows, I just went into my network and sent them over the network and they went kerbluee every which way, also I think I may just pull the plug and take them all out and start over either way, I thank you for sending me the link to look at the tutorial, I am going to utilize the information this weekend and try to do some sorting, and will check out those options. Thanks for helping 'new kid' on the block.

  • Something is seriously wrong with my mac but I don't know what help me!

    Problem: i have a 2011 mac book pro & recently since last month its been randomly freezing (sometimes the screen will just go blue or black or everything including the mouse will stop moving or its a kernel alert) this can happen when i try to open a program or just at random. when I try to turn it back on after I see the apple it stays at white screen and the fan starts blowing hard. after this happens i have to repeatedly turn it on and off just to get past the white screen after i do that. sometimes everything seems fine for a few hours works good everything. but sometimes it freezes & or gets stuck at white screen....
    Things Ive done so far: After I called apple we did a few things..... we tried safe mode, we tried repairing the disk and disk permissions, moving to a new user, erasing cache, hardware test, removing certain apps, using specific key board commands to get past the white screen, reinstalling OSX, checking the ram and disk space....
    and after all of this THESE ISSUES ARE STILL HERE! whats wrong with my mac anyone know how i can fix it?

  • HT3775 I can't play avi movies on my mac. I don't know what to do!

    my friend gave me some regular show seasons, but i can't watch them coz they're avi and they wont let me please help!

    The file is send as audio/mpeg and that usually should be sufficient to make Firefox select a plugin that handles the file.<br />
    Probably a MIME type as application/x-mplayer2 will also work to select a WMP compatible player as most users on Windows won't have QT.
    Does QT work otherwise correctly for you when playing embedded content?

    Do others with a Mac also report that it isn't working?
    Is there only a problem with users on a Mac or with other platforms (Windows/Linux) as well?
    You can also try to ask advice at the mozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum if it is your own website (hadn't released before that that could be the case).
    The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.<br />

  • Can I put Mail and Address book from my backed up dead Mac to my new one

    My powerpc G5 Imac just died. It was completely backed up to Mozy, and I would like to restore my Mail and Address book from that machine on the new Snow Leopard machine I bought today. Is that possible?

    if you are completely backed up then yes. copy the following items from the old computer to the corresponding locations on the new computer
    /users/yourusername/library/mail (copy the whole folder)
    /users/yourusername/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    /users/yourusername/library/application support/address book (copy the whole folder).
    star Mail and address book and they should look as they did on the old computer.

  • I just upgraded to the new Photo and find a few things missing. May find more later. My Events are gone. Also, the Albums and Projects that I created that were on the left side tab of iPhoto are now gone. Where are they?

    Where are my Events from the old iPhoto? Also, where are the albums and projects I created that were on the left side tab in my old iPhoto?

    Hersco wrote:
    After importing my iPhoto Library no Events became Albums. Some of my Albums are still Albums, but many are missing from the Albums tab and Sidebar. One of the Albums listed has no photos when it should have 142. Another is missing nearly all of its photos. I found some missing Albums by name via the search window. Yet they remain missing from the Albums tab. Very strange indeed. This is one big mess right now! Thank goodness iPhoto still works.
    Yes, it's a mess for sure, and I've lost confidence in it for now.  First attempt, 5 photos came up missing.  Delete and start over, then after second attempt 18 photos go missing.  Even one single missing photo is a real confidence breaker for me.
    After conversion, and activation of the sidebar, all of my Events were migrated into a single "Photos" Album called "iPhoto Events".  Why would I want "legacy" Events segregated into one big Album?  What the heck am I supposed to do with that?  That's useless if new photos are going to be organized in some other way moving forward.  I cannot imagine new photos automatically putting themselves into a new Event inside of the "iPhoto Events" Album... because they won't.  I'll be stuck with my old iPhoto Events in this one Album, and the new stuff organized as per Photos.  Weird, just weird.
    Also, in the "all photos" view, there are dates that are just blank.  I think I know why.  In iPhoto, I merged various photos into single Events.  For whatever reason, within the Library, this left empty folders behind.  iPhoto's fault, not mine... I simply dragged & dropped photos to combine Events.   Then during Photos import/conversion these empty folders got converted into "blank" days within Photos... this is simply ridiculous.  When programming for an import, you'd want to ignore a folder if there are no files inside of it, not convert it into a block of photos that contain no photos.  It's nonsensical... you cannot have an iPhoto Event with zero photos, yet that's what was converted over.  LOL.
    I'm certainly not going to invest the time into cleaning up and moving hundreds of Events and 18,000 photos if Photos can't even do a simple library conversion.  Heck, what about the dozens of photos that my iPhone 5S fails to geotag for whatever reason?  Can't edit geotags.  Can't bulk edit meta data.  These are pretty basic functions.  Total fail.
    I'm going back to iPhoto for a while, hoping Apple eventually cleans up this mess into something usable.

  • How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed and you don't know what it is now?

    How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed by the former husband and you don't know what it is now?  And you set up your own new ID and account but can NOT access the updates, from the App store for the many apps that you already have, because they require that you sign in with that former now inaccessible ID and account and password?  Call it a problem of modern times and changing relationships, if you want to be charitable.

    So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
    Yes...  sorry.
    In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free  >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless  >  Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

    Yeah, and it didn't work.
    I had problems when I updated to iOS 5 (lost all my apps - a few of my friends had the same problem) and when there was an update to iOS 4 (camera wouldn't work). The iOS 5 issue was sorted by backup (but I lost the app data) but for the iOS 4 issue I had to return my iPod to get a new one.

    He needs to add your Apple ID in settings > mail, contacts, calendars (as a secondary iCloud account), then check contacts and calendars from the options available.
    Note, he would be able to enable mail, reminders etc as well at will. should he wish to do so. If you are OK with that, it should all work as you want it to.

  • Installed Thunderbird on New drive but can't transfer emails and address books drom old drive to new PC.

    I have a computer I built that my dad who uses Thunderbird for his email. We had to remove the C: drive, which was a SSD drive because it was running out of space and replaced it with a Western Digital Veloci-Raptor 500GB drive. I am not familiar with Thunderbird and did not export his emails or address book before I switched the drives. I have set his new Thunderbird account to keep the mails on the server and not the PC. How can I get the old emails and address books from the old hard drive. I did copy the Thunderbird folder from the C: drive and the folder on the E: drive that Thunderbird was installed to. I have read many forums on how to move emails and address books to or from Thunderbird but non are like my situation. Hoe can retrieve the emails and address books from the previous install and transfer them over to the new PC once I have done a reinstall?

    first the old drive... the location varied between windows versions but it is either in Application data or appdata. In vista and above open the roaming folder. Both are hidden folders so you need to show hidden files and folders in Windows. Within that you will find a Thunderbird folder.
    The sub folders of that are the profiles, but simply copying the Thunderbird folder over it's like in the appdata\roaming of Vista and above will replace the existing with the old.
    Copy the actual profile in the folder called profile XXXX.default xxxx being a random string will place two profiles on the hard disk which can be opened individually using the profile manager. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_manager
    Finally individual folders of mail can be moved using the import export tools. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ You just need to locate the data. Folders are a file with no extension and another with the same name and an MSF extension. They are in sub folders of mail in the profile.
    Address books. see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_address_books_between_profiles

    I got a Model Number: A1181, My hard drive burned out. I bouhgt a new hard drive Wd Blue Scorpio 500 GB. When i tried to install the MAC OS, it identifies a hard drive with 3.6 TB and i'm not able to do the installation. I touhgt the new ard drive was bad but i was able to install windows XP. Any ideas what do i have to do?

    Well, let's hope that nothing was jiggled out of place when you were installing the new hard drive. Your optical drive may just be out of alignment or the disc you have is "dirty." Get a lint-free cloth and some rubbing alcohol, then clean the disc as thoroughly as you can starting from the center and working outward in a concentric circlular motion. See if that helps. In particular clean the inner portion well.
    If this does not help, then you have a problem. You have opened the computer yourself. That action voids all support from Apple. If you take the computer in for service the store may refuse to service the computer. This is not related to your now expired warranty.
