How do I re-install the application Address Book?

I moved the office Address Book from my office desktop computer onto my new laptop just by replacing the laptop application "Address Book" with the one from the office desktop. But now I can't open Address Book on my new laptop; instead I get the error message: "You cannot use this version of the application Address Book". Apparently the office desktop was running OS 10.4 while the new computer uses OS 10.5 and apparently the 10.4 version of Address Book is incompatible with the new OS?
How do I fix this? How do I get a version of Address Book that works on my new laptop running OS 10.5?

Hello Ken,
welcome to Apple Discussions.
*You don't need any 3rd party software like Pacifist to extract Address Book from your Leopard install Discs* ! First insert your Install Disc 1. Afterwards you only have to copy/paste the following command (in one line) into a Terminal (you'll find Terminal in Applications/Utilities) and press Enter:
cp /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ Disc\ 1/System/Installation/Packages/AddressBook.pkg ~/Desktop/
This way you copy (cp) the Address Book install package to your Desktop (~/Desktop) where you can double-click it in order to run the installer. If the command given above doesn't work, check whether your install Disc is labeled "Mac OS X Install Disc 1". If need be change that name (be aware that for a blank space you have to put a backslash followed by a blank space in Terminal, compare command above). Report back.

How can I return to the Classic address book 3 pane view?

How can I return to the Classic address book 3 pane view & get rid of the stupid fake leather and same for iCal?

I asked the same question at the Apple Genius Bar a week or so ago and they said there was no way to change it. I am with you - do not like this new format at all and would love it if Apple would offer both -maybe when they do an "fix" next? This was one change in Lion that should not have been made from Snow Leopard. I am really sorry I upgraded at this point.

"...cannot use the application "Address Book.app" with 'leopard.'...????

I get the message: "You cannot use the application “Address Book.app” with this version of Mac OS X. "What does this mean, wat do I do? Do I lose my address book.?

you can do the following to transfer your Tiger addressbookdata file to Leopard if none of your other countermeasures are working.
Create a new folder and give it a name such as TigertoLeopard data or whatever;
then drag your Tiger addressbook data file into that folder;
add .abbu to the end of the name you gave that new folder;
remember where you placed the folder and use Leopard Mail import command.

Unable to open mail, address book etc due to this message: You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X. HELP!

I am transferring my mother's address book and mail etc to my computer from an external hard drive enclosure and am not able to open it due to this message: You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X. HELP! Is there a way to open her older applications and get the info out?

her email is in user>Library>Mail folder. Hopefully you've created another user on your Mac for your mother so she would have her own user Library.

Lion Server: How do I import into the central address book?

Hello
I could successfully import addresses into the local address book of my Mac Mini (using the import function of the address book application).
However, I want the addresses to be in the central, shared address book of the Lion Server. I can't find a way to import there.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks! Martin

Never mind, I figured it out: Open the local addresses, select all, drag/drop to the desktop. Then open the server address book and drag/drop from the desktop.

Where can I download the application "Address Book" for OS 10.3.9

Some how or another my address book got dumped off my desktop and now I cannot get it back. It will open using my email account but that does not show the mailing address on other info. I tried using backup which had been uploaded to my idisk to "restore" but everytime I have tried to open the backup restored file, it goes back to the backup screen showing "restore or backup." When I went on my hard drive and looked for the "Address Book" application, it only appears in a previous system file and will not open either. I am quite perplexed as how to recover my "addresses." Is there a site available where I can download the "Address" application or is there another way to fix? I have already looked on all my install disks. I am running Panther 10.3.9 on an iMac.

Sandra -
You can use Pacifist to reinstall individual applications from your installation disk. Here's a link to a MacWorld review:
http://www.macworld.com/2004/03/reviews/aprilmacgems/
It's about halfway down the page under "Installer Info".

"You can't use this version of the application Address Book

with this version of Mac OSX. You have Address Book 4.1.1"
I have my address book icon in my dock. When I click on it to open - I get the error message verbatim as stated above. I'm stuck. I think it's been a couple years that it's been doing this. Haven't had a reason to until I needed to add/edit some entries.
I want to add a few Facetime contacts and Facetime doesn't give me the ability to add/edit an existing contact - so I figured I should be able open Address Book (which I faintly remember doing a while ago). Anyone be able to get this error to go away when opening Address Book?
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like it hasn't been updated in some time. Have you moved it out of the Applications folder (or into a sub-folder inside the Applications folder)? If so, it won't update. Put it back, then download and run the Mac OS X 10.6.6 combo updater to bring it back to the current version (which is 5.0.3).

How do I install the IP address on a C309a printer?

How do I install the IP address on the C309a printer?

Do you mean a static IP address for wireless or LAN?
Why do you want to set the IP address manually?
I suggest that you use the Home network diagnostic utility. Normally your wireless router will provide the IP address when it is set to be a DHCP server in your home network.
Kind regards,

How can I re-install the app?

Indesign CC was trashed. Creative Cloud Shows app as "up to date". How can I re-install the app?

Hi Notebook57,
You first need to uninstall the application completely.
In Mac :-- Applications --->Utilities --->Adobe Installers
in Adobe installers you will find the uninstaller for Indesign CC just run that and complete the uninstallation.
In window :-- Control panel ---> programs and features --> uninstall Indesign cc.
After doing this you can launch Creative cloud desktop ---> log out and log back in.
You should see the option to install the software again.
Thanks

How can I re-install the last version of iPhoto, I hate this new version.

How can I re-install the last version of iPhoto. I hate this new version "Photos 1.0" which installed yesterday on my iMac. Please help. My operating system is OS X YOSEMITE 10.10.3. THANKS.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Error occurred while installing the application: Invalid device specified

Error occurred while installing the application: Invalid <device> specified i am getting this error on windows. How to solve that.

Hi there.
I know this is an old post, but I fell here having this same problem for some weeks now, and i just figured my issue. Hope it help others:
My iPhone is connecting automatically with my itunes on computer. Not really sure what type of connection or wireless sync, but the fact is that it IS connecting.
For some weird reason it gets Flash Builder crazy and it cannot find the right device anymore. Even when I get my iPhone connected by cable, it says that it found the device, but doesn`t publish to it. The Flash Builder says that it was published, but nothing gets installed, and the debugger cannot connect.
MY SOLUTION (for now): Turn off the phone wi-fi, so it gets out of my home network. works like a charm and I finally can test on my device again.
Really hope this helps.

How to transfer the whole address book from one no...

Dear friend,
Could you please advise me "how to transfer the whole address book from one nokia to another nokia phone via blue tooth connectivity. (move one by one is not convenience for my hundreds of contact.
Thank and waiting for advice...
victor

If your phones have the built-in "Transfer" (sometimes called "Switch") application, try it.
Otherwise, depending on the model(s) you can also copy all contacts to/from the memory card, and get them over that way.
And you can also synchronize both programs to the same service (e.g., Outlook on a Windows PC using Nokia PC Suite).
And newer versions of Nokia PC Suite can also be used to make a backup of one phone, and then restore to another.
PC Suite you can find here: http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite

How do i update Installed AIR Applications? // General Questions

Hi,
first of all, i'm completly new to AIR. However, i made my way through your product documentation and i'm now able to deploy AIR and a AIR Application (SFDC Chatter) and register it.
Works fine so far, but some questions:
- How can i update installed AIR applications? If i just try to re-install it, the installer will fail with exit code "9"
-> How can i update them directly? If this is not possible
-> How can i uninstall AIR applications in a large enterprise environment?
- Where is the ARH Tool that is described in your product documentation?
- When installing AIR as SYSTEM User (I'm using SCCM) where is the logfile?
- Do you recommend updating AIR on a regular base? Are "older" applications compatible with newer AIR Versions?
Thanks for your replies!
Ben

Hi Ben,
I'd recommend taking a good look at our captive runtime option that is available in AIR 3.0 and higher. While you have to roll your own installer (and updater) this could be as simple as a zip/batch file combination. It also allows you to use the runtime that you prefer and not be dependent on what the user installs or uninstalls. You do have to be mindful of security implications, but it's definitely the way I'd go.

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSfffb011ac560372f709e16db131e43659b9-8000.html
As for updating, it should be as simple as increasing your app descriptors version number and installing again. This article explains how you can also use our update framework: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air_update_framework.html
The ARH tool can be found here:
