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.

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.

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.

How can I create a new address book in Thunderbird?

I cannot figure out how to create a brand new address in which to place 'contacts'.

I repeatedly followed your above instructions and "Address
book" does NOT appear as a choice. Presently existing address books do appear but not a new address book. Perhaps I have a corrupted file????? I just don't know what to try next, I have already downloaded / installed a new copy of Thunderbird 24.4.0 directly from the Mozilla web site.
Thanks for your efforts, sorry to bother you again. I'm frustrated!

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 create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address book. I already have three address books created for me by Thunderbird. I add all new addresses to one of those but am afraid to delete the other address books because some of their addresses are not repeated in my "main" address book. So if I don't delete all the names in one of the existing books, I need to create an empty book that will not mix the addresses with those in another address book. HOW DO I CREATE A NEW, EMPTY ADDRESS BOOK? I want to be able to create various mailing LISTS using the addresses in this new book so I will eventually have a special address book with a variety of mailing lists I can use as I wish.

In 24.4.0 there is no File|New|Address Book. There is File|New|Address Book Contact. How do I create a new address book ?

How Do I Import Outlook Express Address Book?

I have a PC running WXP using Outlook Express as a mail client. And, I have a MAC that I'm trying to get email set up on. I'm trying to get completely off WXP as a home computing environment. Accordingly, I'd like to import the Outlook Express address book from the PC into Address Book on the MAC so I don't have to re-key all those entries. But, I guess I'm not entering the correct magic words, because I haven't been able to find anywhere online exactly how to do this. The Address Book application implies that it can import a csv file, but I can't find out what the format of the CSV file is supposed to be. I exported the OE Address book to a WAB file on my WXP system, and mounted that disk to MAC, and I can see the file, but there doesn't seem to be any way to import it.
I can create a CSV file fairly easily in Windows if I know the format MAC address Book expects it to be in so I can import it.
So, I need a clue. I'm surprised to find out how difficult this seems to be, given the general user-friendliness of the Apple environment, and that no one else seems to have had the problem.

Haven't done this yet but when I was getting my new iMac, we googled it at the Apple store and saw a link to advice on how to do this through Mozilla - apparently you have to transfer it to Mozilla first and then to the Mac. Hope this helps.
And btw, any other new converts having trouble with their new iMac's freezing up? Here I was all ready to be part of the Apple Army and loved it for the first few days -- only to have it freeze on me so often that I'm ready to bring this lemon back to the store.

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.

I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one?

I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one? There are only a few of the contacts I had, so there must be a location where the rest are, but not sure where to look. And once I find them (with your help), how do I get them into the address book?

If you copy abook.mab or history.mab into a profile folder, they will show up as Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses. But if the mab files have names other than abook or history, they can only be imported to TB with the use of [https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook].

I use a OLD G3 when I travel and mostly I am connecting over the satellites which is not really the best connection.
I use GMX which is free and never have a problem getting my emails from anywhere even in the middle of the oceans.
It does work using Apple mail and the adress book

How to transfer my Netscape mail address book info to my OSX Address Book?

I may have to contact Netscape about this one but thought I would give it a shot here.
I am on a new G5 where all my old Netscape mail was brought over from my G3 via an Ethernet cable and is now living where it should in its place within the Netscape 4.77 mail program which I can access by running Classic OS9 mode.
I would like to import my address book information instead of having to cut and paste hundreds of addresses manually. The Apple mail program doesn't have its own address book (which I wish it did) but uses the Address book application, as you all know. Ideally I would want the addresses right there in mail but that doesn't seem to be how OSX works.
The only other thing I could do I suppose is download another web mail browswer, like Eudora or the equivalent, which maybe would have an import feature. I tried downloading Netscape for OSX but it didn't even have a place where I could drag and drop my mail folders - that I could see - let alone import my addresses from where they live in the System 9 folder.
Any advice appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

I have had a look around on Version Tracker to see if anything might help you
and have come up with this
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19382
Product Description:
This is a tool for fixing LDIF files exported from Netscape Communicator 4.x. When Netscape Communicator exports LDIF files, it doesn't handle hard line breaks within the notes section properly. This causes the files to not be imported properly by Address Book. This program fixes that.
Product Requirements:
• Mac OS 8 - 9.2.2, or
• Mac OS X 10.0 or higher including Panther
This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:
• Mac OS Classic
• Mac OS X 10.0
• Mac OS X 10.1
• Mac OS X 10.2
• Mac OS X 10.3
As you have Classic / 9.2.2 ? I thought it might possibly help

How can I see in my address book all contaacts that have not been placed into groups?

How can I see in my address book the contacts that have not been put into groups?

The best way to do that is create a new "smart group" with the following:
This way you can identify those without a group and drag them to one.

How to restore mail messages and address book?

Recently the hard drive on my eMac failed. The drive would no longer mount. Fortunately, my entire user folder has been recovered. While I see the files such as AddressBook.data and Incoming_Mail they are showing up as generic documents. I can't seem to import these files or open them with their respective applications (Address Book and Mail). How can I restore these previous messages and prior address book? I want to add this recovered data to the new address book and mailboxes that I have created in the interim after the hard drive crashed and I began using another Mac.
17" iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)
20" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

the new version of Mail is not recognizing the mbox files and therefore I can't import them.
Again, this is wrong. Not only does Mail 2.x recognize Mail 1.x mailboxes, but can import them as either Mail for Mac OS X or as Other. The exact procedure is slightly different in each case.
I need a way to bring these old mbox message files into Tiger.
And I need that you explain what exactly it is that you’re doing and what exactly is the problem in order to be able to determine what exactly it is that you’re doing wrong...

How to Remove duplicate entries in address book

After syncing with iCloud (three computers and a phone) suddenly I am seeing multiple entries for the same contact in the address book and multiple entries in the calendars for the same event. Can anyone suggest how to stop this and how to delete the multiple entries without having to manually delete each item? The new Address book does noit seem to have a list view that shows the entire address book 9only shows addresses with two or three alphabets...
Is there a setting to prevent this from happening? I had similar experiences with the old Mobile.me and was hoping the problem had been fixed.
The value of iCloud is lessened when these issues crop up and there seems to be no defined method to fix the problem. I see numerous entries on the Support Community boards with the same problem.
Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hi,
Take a look at Address Book Account Basics (with iCloud). and Duplicate address Book entries.
I too had the same issue and this helped solve it.
Hope this helps.

How can I organize groups in Address Book while running iCloud under Lion?

I am frustrated with the new Address Book for many reasons:
It is no longer possible to view groups, list, and cards at the same time, just groups and list or list and cards. This means it is very cumbersome to organize cards to multiple groups, something that wa relatively easy before. Why not allow us to see all three at once and conveniently drag and delete?
The individual cards do not list what groups each card belongs to. Why didn't Apple include a list and a way to change the group when editing cards? Do any of the Apple programmers actually use their own programs to make them useful and convenient?
While running iCloud addresses are duplicated (one set "On My Mac" and another "iCloud"). While it is possible to view only one set or the other, I found that it is best to backup and then delete the "On My Mac" cards and groups. Even then it is confusing to navigate and move cards around.
The iCloud synch with my iPod is working well, but I have to synch my older iPhone 3G with a cable. (will not run OS X v 10.7 Lion).
The iCloud address book is not synching properly with Yahoo, but rather the Yahoo address are being pulled over to the "On My Mac" set that had been removed. Why can't we set controls of pushing or pulling data vs synching, as well as whether whether this is with the iCloud or "On My Mac" addresses?
The new address book format, while cute is too bright, hard to read and wastes a lot of space with white nothingness. Why can't we have a more attractive, easier to read, and functional address book format, with more ability to customize format for advanced users?
I suppose I may have answered my own question: basically it is possible to manage the groups as long is willing to put up with inefficiency and backs up manually by exporting the address book regularly as a backup (because so much can and does go wrong). Does anybody have more insight?
