How to recover missing data in Address Book?

Was shutting down my i-Book. Decided to Force Quit some Applications and accidently Force Quit the Finder. When I rebooted and tried to use Mail, found all the addresses in
my Address Book were gone. The Address History was also empty. Any way to recover the lost addresses? I did not have a back-up copy of the files in Address Book.
Blueberry i-book Mac OS X (10.2.x)

My 13 year old Grandson found the missing addresses. They
were in Library/ApplicationSupport/AddressBook/AddressBook.data.backup
He renamed the file by dropping .backup and when AddressBook was reopened, the missing cards were back. I had looked for AddressBook in ApplicationSupport, but didn't see it listed in the Application list for some reason.

How to recover missing data from PCL4 cluster

Hello experts,
Is there any way to recover missing data from PCL4 cluster ?
We recently found that some data related to W2 production run for past years was missing in the PCL4 cluster. Tables T5UXX & T5UXY has entries with the filing dates but certain data is missing in the cluster related to those table entries.
Would there be any specific reason for such a data loss ?
Has anyone come across this issue earlier and found resolution on the same ?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dipesh.

When you delete PCL4 entries for production runs, the corresponding
control information in tables T5UXX and T5UXY also will be deleted. A
control number may be used for more than one Form number (in Tax
Reporter control tables). Therefore, if a control number that is
assigned to the Form number to be deleted was also assigned to other
form numbers, then this control number information from T5UXY will not
be deleted. These details will be displayed in the program results.
However, if all Form numbers that were assigned to this particular
control number were deleted, then the control information in table T5UXY
for the control number will be deleted automatically as the last
dependent Form number is deleted."
Following we have two questions:
o Was PCL4 deleted?
o Did the W2 generate without errors?
Basically if the PCL4 data is corrupted, then we have 2 options to
rebuild the PCL4 Cluster:
1. Delete the existing PCL4 & rerun the production run with the same
   As of date.
2. Overwrite the production results without deleting PCL4 data but with
   different As of Date.
If the Employee data is not changed after your
actual production run then overwriting the results will not cause any
difference in the PCL4 data.
Secondly, if you dont want PDF spools or magmedia layouts to be
generated during overwriting of production run, then kindly uncheck
the following on the PU19 screen, so that only PCL4 data is rebuild :
1. Uncheck Employee Copy
2. Uncheck Authority Copy
3. Uncheck Magnetic table"

How to recover lost contacts from address book with isync.

Hi everyone,
I've just lost all my contacts even in my Nokia N95 when I use iSync. I've deleted my contacts manually in my address book to make a refresh sync with my Nokia. After I conected again and start sync, it deleted all my contacts on my Nokia... I am very dissapointed and angry with Apple.
Can you guys help me bring back my 500 contacts in my address book so I can put back in my Nokia as well?
Thank you in advance.
Matt

Not to my knowledge. As I see it you now are in a position of manually recreating you contact list or as I previously suggested engage a professional in data recovery with no guarantee of 100% or any recovery.
I wish it were otherwise.

How do I remove on my mac data from address book

Hi Csound1,
I am stogling with the same issue posted on this discussion.
Exchange2013 and raw contacts populated on my contacts as well as on the exchange server (I have seeing it using a PC and outlook).
You sugest to clean on My Mac contacts. Do not set on My Mac as a default account. Following is what I found:
There is no way to get out the on My Mac account from contacts.
There is no way set any default account on contacts>preferences>general
The on My Mac contacts list IS EMPTY and the '-' sign is hidden on the contacts>preferences>accounts.
When I turn on my Exchange Account on my contacts are downloaded from the server, however, I still not able to set ANY DEFAULT ACCOUNT at all.
If I leave like it is 2 days later I will have at least a dozen of those expurious emails on my contacts list.
Thanks,
Edson

Missing information with Address Book

I've got a Centro, run Mac OS X 10.4.11, and managed to get iSync to play nice with my new Centro (palm os 5.4.9) and transfer over the years of information I have stocked up in iCal and Address Book.app. Everything seemed fine on the surface, but when I went to look at the contacts on the Centro, it only transfered some of the data. Particularly, I'm missing address from every contact that has only 1 address (which happens to be the vast majority). iSync managed to pull over the first address if there is a second one, but it has it mislabeled. For example:
On the computer
Contact : Me
some phone numbers
Home Address
Work Address
On the Centro
Contact : Me
some phone numbers
Home Address (which is labeled as Work)
Really quite frustrating. What am I doing wrong? I've done several searches using various keywords and 90% of the time I end up getting directed to buy more software (Missing Sync), on top of the several hundred dollars I've already shelled out on an operating system and palm hardware. Please, tell me there's a better way.
Less important, but equally annoying, are such small things as
-How do I file contact categories en masse from my computer?
-How do sync contact photos from Address Book.app to the Centro?
-How do I get locations to transfer from iCal to the Palm Calendar on the Centro?
-How do I get the Palm Calendar's categories to match with iCal's?
-How do I get the Palm Calendar to accept iCal's categorizations of appointments?
I tried posting this over in the Palm help forums, but got no responses, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Daniel

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You have bumped up against the substantial, long term limitations of the iSync Palm Conduit, and iSync itself, with respect to the issues you point out.
There is no explicit support for contact and calendaring extensions introduced with later versions of the Palm personal information management applications. Categories, for example, are not supported. The conduit still does not, and—I dare say, never will—support the synchronization of any address labeled other than <home>.
Each of the issues you raise is addressed by Mark/Space with the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and that is the only workaround available to you.

How to recover missing purchased items from my old region???

Hi,
Before 2 months ago I'm tried to change my region in the Apple Store and I was have a problem it I can not change the area until the reset my balance to 0 and it was I have a balance of 0.40 pounds, I contacted with the technical support at Apple and they told me should reset your balance to 0, but the balance was only 0.40 pounds and I can not buy any product because that amount is too little, So they suggested me to reset my balance to I can change my region and I have accepted this and they have already reset my balance to 0 and then was able to successfully change the region .
Now I have another problem which I can't to recover missing purchased items from my old region !!!
How to recover missing purchased items ????

You cannot use the iTunes store there any longer just as you can no longer use the food store you used to visit. Unless you can change your country back to the one you used to use you no longer have access to purchases made there which is why it is important you keep backups of all purchases made there.
The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

HT1212 Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

Thanks @ KiltedTim, but losing "only" any data is really not acceptable and, in this case, the phone had not been backed up, but thanks for taking the time. Also, yes, fungible means what I think it means. An iphone is a completely substitutible commodity, unlike my data, so instructions that inform me as to how to fix a phone I could replace for a small sum of money while failing to address the more important issue of the data are almost useless - they potentially save me the $99 it would cost me to replace the phone if I were so inclined to trust another apple product. Not worth the hour it took to find them or the 35 minutes on the phone to confirm my suspicions about the data.

HT4918 contacts are missing from my address book on my mac but are on my ipad, both have icloud

contacts are missing from my address book on my mac. they remain on my ipad. I have synced my ipad. i have removed contacts from address book on my mac and then re added them. still missing. how do i fix this

Start by answering the questions.
Picking up old contacts where - are you referring to the email address autofill feature when addressing an email?
Did you transfer the backup for your old iPhone to your new iPhone?
Are you accessing an email account on your iPhone that provides over the air syncing for contacts such as a Yahoo account, Gmail account, or a MobileMe/iCloud account?
I am seeing contacts that I know are at least a year old, and current contacts in my Macs address book are not being sync'd up.
Does this mean syncing contacts with the Address Book on your Mac is not selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes? If so, has this ever been selected with your new iPhone? Deslecting this after it was selected does not remove contacts from your iPhone.

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].

How to Get Missing Dates for Each Support Ticket In My Query?

Hello -
I'm really baffled as to how to get missing dates for each support ticket in my query. I did a search for this and found several CTE's however they only provide ways to find missing dates in a date table rather than missing dates for another column
in a table. Let me explain a bit further here -
I have a query which has a list of support tickets for the month of January. Each support ticket is supposed to be updated daily by a support rep, however that isn't happening so the business wants to know for each ticket which dates have NOT been
updated. So, for example, I might have support ticket 44BS which was updated on 2014-01-01, 2014-01-05, 2014-01-07. Each time the ticket is updated a new row is inserted into the table. I need a query which will return the missing dates per
each support ticket.
I should also add that I DO NOT have any sort of admin nor write permissions to the database...none at all. My team has tried and they won't give 'em. So proposing a function or storable solution will not work. I'm stuck with doing everything
in a query.
I'll try and provide some sample data as an example -
CREATE TABLE #Tickets
TicketNo VARCHAR(4)
,DateUpdated DATE
INSERT INTO #Tickets VALUES ('44BS', '2014-01-01')
INSERT INTO #Tickets VALUES ('44BS', '2014-01-05')
INSERT INTO #Tickets VALUES ('44BS', '2014-01-07')
INSERT INTO #Tickets VALUES ('32VT', '2014-01-03')
INSERT INTO #Tickets VALUES ('32VT', '2014-01-09')
INSERT INTO #Tickets VALUES ('32VT', '2014-01-11')
So for ticket 44BS, I need to return the missing dates between January 1st and January 5th, again between January 5th and January 7th. A set-based solution would be best.
I'm sure this is easier than i'm making it. However, after playing around for a couple of hours my head hurts and I need sleep. If anyone can help, you'd be a job-saver :)
Thanks!!
