How do get my address book to sort/display by Last Name?
I would like my Thunderbird Address Book to display by Last Name. How can I accomplish this?
In the Address Book, display the menu, then '''View|Show Name As…'''
then sort in the usual way.

How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name (using v 31.3.0).
After a computer crash, I had to load Thunderbird (v31.3.0) back into my machine running Windows 8.1, and I successfully imported my address book back up file into Thunderbird (v31.3.0).
My problem is that I don't see an option to sort the address book by "Last" name, which was available with the version of Thunderbird I had before the crash.
How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name?In 'Address Book'
Select address book
'View' > 'Show name as' > 'Last/First'
The you can sort by Name.
Either click on 'Name' column header to change sort order,
If reversed, then click on 'Name' column header again to reverse the order.
Or
'View' > 'Sort By' > choose 'Name' and 'Ascending' -
Sort Address Book search dialog box by last name, first name
When I am entering an email, and I click on the To: field to bring up the Address Book dialog box, by default the names are ordered according to the
Name field in First Name, Last name format.
Is there any way to have this column display the names in Last Name, First Name format?Is there any way to have this column display the names in Last Name, First Name format?
The only way would be to change the display order of the AB to use <FileAs> which in turn requires that the default order for the <FileAs> field is configured to be <Last, First>.
Way to change the AB display order is by going into Account Settings (you don't mention which version of Outlook is in use) or with Outlook closed, use the Control Panel <Mail> app to open the profile
- click on the <AddressBooks> tab
- highlight Outlook AddressBook
- click <Change> and select the appropriate <Show Names> option
Note: if your current default FileAs setting is not configured to be <Last, First> - you will need to <bulk> change all existing contact items since any change to the FileAs default setting only applies to newly created contacts.

How to get my address book to icloud
And how to sync it with other Apple devices like my iPad and Iphone without getting duplicates.
If you are using Mac OS X 10.6.8 as your information shows, you will have to upgrade to at least Mac OS X 10.7.5 to use iCloud on your Mac.
You can do that by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE and pay the $20 fee and they will send an email with the download code and instructions. -
I have a Mac 10.5.8 op system. My Contacts do not syn with I cloud. Trying to get my address book complete on both systems and now I have lots of duplicates on I cloud adress book. How do I efficiently merge the duplictes that are now on I cloud?
You cannot use iCloud with Leopard 10.5.8. The minimum requirement is Lion 10.7.2. If you have been syncing your contacts with iCloud you can only have been doing it by some sort of unsupported hack, and if it doesn't work it's unlikely to be possible to find an explanation. If you have been using other (compliant) devices by trying to sync using both iTunes and iCloud you are likely to get duplicates.
A computer old enough running Leopard may well not be upgradeable to Lion or Mountain Lion, but if you can do so this is the only way you are going to be able to make proper use of iCloud.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table -
My iPhone is stolen. How can I get my address book back from the iCloud? I should have synchronized my iPad address book. However, I loss some recent contacts from iPhone.
I use my iPad to get the address book backed up by iCloud from my iPhone. However, I cannot see the recent new contacts from my iPad. Is there anyway to check the iCloud server to see if my address book backup from my iPhone is still there?

I upgraded to Snow Leopard and lost addresses in Address Book. I'm told I have 4.1.2 and can't use this version. I still have my addresses in Time Machine and it will not recover. How do I update Address Book?

First Timer mistake.

I updated my mac with os x Lion so that I could accomplish moving my address book from the mac to my new IPad 3G. I also set up an icloud account for this purpose, but I *still* cannot figure out how to move my address book from one computer to the other. When I'm on my mac and try to use bluetooth to export the address book, I'm able to find my ipad but I soon get a message that it does not support the necessary services. I have no idea what's going on and would appreciate any advice. tks in advance, Sarah

The address book syncs via iCloud, not Bluetooth or iTunes.
You upgraded to Lion so you could use iCoud.
On the computer. go to Apple menu > System prefs > iCloud.
Sign into your iCloud account.
Tick everything.
This enalbes the se items syncing to iCloud.
On the iPad, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Create a new iCloud account.
Sign in with the same AppleID as your computer.
Settings > iCloud and turn everything on.
BAM!
That is all you need to do.
Your contacts (and all other checked items checked) will sync between computer and iPad.
No need to use iTunes -
How do I reinstall Address Book for Leopard
I just bought a new iMac with 10.5. Thought I would be smart and insert the Address Book from a backup on my previous Mac. It replaced the 10.5 Address Book with my backup copy (like I wanted). However, I now get a message that tells me that version of Address Book doesn't work with 10.5. Now, I have no Address Book.
Anyone know how I can download or otherwise get the Address Book that comes with 10.5 on my computer?Use Pacifist to extract the Address Book application from the iMac's original disks, and then copy over the Address Book database from the Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ of your home folder on the backup.

How to use webmail address book on Mac Mini Server with Lion Server.
I have a Mac Mini Server with Lion Server installed; the webmail is setup and working but I can not get the address book to work.
I have followed an instruction from this website on how to activate the address book icon in webmail but can not add any addresses. Is there something that needs to be activatied before it will work?No, I didn't solve the problem. The monitor still goes to sleep with WIndows but not with my Mac Mini. About 8 months ago I basically wore out the power switch on my monitor so I bought a wireless power switch to shut it off at the outlet. The VX2835wm monitor itself is now starting to fail as well-- a couple of times it's gone through a weird sequence of flashing screen colors on power up and ended up in an overscan mode (that took me for ever to figure out how to fix). I have decided to replace my VX2835wm with a Dell u2412m once it fails for good partly because I really want to keep the 16:10 resolution (very hard to find these days) and partly because I want to see if a different make of monitor will go to sleep properly based upon my Mac Mini power down settings.

How can i reinstall address book
Does anyone know how to reinstall the address book in Lion?
Most tutorials I've seen assume that you have an installation disk, which Lion obviously doesn't have.
I keep getting the message that I cannot delete or change the Address Book as it is an essential app. It seems to be corrupted and I cannot open it at all.No - that didn't work. I have the error message in case that helps:

How can I import address book from thunderbird on another computer
I just purchased a new laptop and have dowloaded Thunderbird for my e-mail as that was what I was using on desktop. I have 2 e-mail accounts, my personal e-mail addresses came thru with no difficulty however my other account the contacts in address book didn't come thru. So question is how can I get address book imported for this account too. My desktop is Windows XP and my laptop is Windows 8
thanks for any helpThe neat thing to do would be to copy the profile from the XP machine to the W8 machine. This would have transferred your messages, your account settings and your Address Book and much else.
Given that you have set up Thunderbird and have started using it, copying over the profile may not now be terribly attractive for you.
So, instead, you can export and import your Address Books.
On the XP computer, open the Address Book, select an address book (e.g. Personal Address Book), select '''Tools|Export''', select the name and location of a file to contain the exported data, choose LDIF and then Save. Repeat for each required address book. Give your LDIF files simple but meaningful names, such as PAB.ldif and CA.ldif. Don't use, for instance, ''Personal Address Book.ldif'', as this will create a second address book with the same name as one of the defaults and you won't be able to easily tell which is which.
Put the exported LDIF files where the W8 computer can see them, e.g. a USB memory stick.
On the W8 machine, open the address book, Tools|Import and select an exported LDIF file. It will import and create a new address book; you'll probably want to move the Contact data back to the usual address book. You can select all (ctrl+a) then drag-and-drop the imported Contacts to the preferred address book. Repeat for each LDIF file.
Having said that, I don't understand what you mean by "my personal e-mail addresses came thru with no difficulty however my other account the contacts in address book didn't come thru"; unless you have moved the profile folder over, I don't understand why ''any'' contacts should have transferred.
If you have in fact moved the profile folder, then I'm puzzled as to why the transfer of address books has been incomplete. However the export and import route should be able to reclaim the missing address book(s). -
When I try to open my Address Book from Finder, it says :You can't use this version with this version of Mac OS x. I have Address Book 5.0.3 and Mac OS X 10.7.5 What should I do to get my Address Book back???
Unless you deleted Address Book 6, or restored from a backup made before you upgraded to Lion, Address Book 6 should be on your disk somewhere. Try to find it with spotlight or by browsing likely folders with Finder. Also check Trash. If you find other Address Books, using Quick View or Get Info in Finder should show the version number.
Have you ever moved Address Book out of the Applications folder, either before or after you upgraded to Lion?
If you can't figure out how this happened in the first place, I would be worried that other OS X utilities are similarly affected. -
How to download the address book from Iphone to the computer
i want to create an address backup in the macbook, but don't how to save the address book from Iphone 4 to the computer.
Syncing of the contacts from the iPhone to the Mac address book is accomplished through iTunes. Once the iPhone is connected, you go to the Info tab in iTunes and select to sync the contacts to the particular application, in your case, Address book. Make sure you have at least one contact in address book you don't have on the iPhone to ensure it gives you the option to merge the two. That is the only way to get the contact onto the computer. Then you can backup the computer.
