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.

  • 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.

  • 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].

    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.

    The best way to do that is create a new "smart group" with the following:

  • 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 b

    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 ?
