How to revert to Classic view in Address Book?

I tried to use it, but this NEW look of Address Book in LION is just a worthless pile of junk!
Not only is fake book look out of place and a ridiculous addition to a MODERN OS, but I'm also getting sick of the new trend to hide info that was once easy to see with no extraneous need for interaction. 
This new 2 column view is full of new extra mouse clicks.
I want the old CLEAN CLASSIC 3 COLUMN VIEW back!! 
I want to see "Groups", "Names" and "Individual" info all at the same times!

The 10.8 Beta is under NDA, which is why I did not want to get more specific. I am one of the testers and can assure Address Book salvation there. But I still think it should be fixed in 10.7 as well…

    How do I sync from ical and address book to office for mac 2011 in outlook?  icloud is turned on, sync is turned on in outlook and in itunes.  Email working fine in outlook, but no contact or calendar information.  Microsoft said it is an Apple issue.  They said icloud is not compatible with Outlook.  I have OS Lion if you need to know that.

  • How do i get contacts from my address book in entourage to upload to iCloud?

    How do I get contacts from my address book in entourage to upload to icloud and so onto my ipad??  can they get to the ipad some other way??

    Thanks for the reply Julian, but I tried that and the only cards that show up in that "contacts" folder are the ones that come with the iPod: ipodcreatedsample.vcf and 2 others.
    I brought this to the genius bar at my local Apple store, and they couldn't figure out how to do it, so this one is definitely a challenge. The genius bar advice was: "try to find a solution online." Aaack.

    Unless you had previous backups, you can't restore past data. Ask whoever installed / maintains your system about this.

  • 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?
    Ken W. Smith

    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.
