How to revert to Leopard address book

Very disappointed with both contacts and calendar application in Lion (awful interface) - is it possible to revert back to Leopard's versions of these apps?
Thanks

Agreed, both these apps not only look really awful, but functionally they are more difficult to use too.  Like a lot of Lion, Apple has made huge strides ........ backwards!  Have they started hiring ex-Microsoft employees?  It seems that Apple is so fixated on rolling out a new OS every 12 months it's forgotten what actually makes a good OS in the first place.  Much is change for changes sake.
If I wanted to use IOS, I'd pick up my iPhone or iPad - I definitely don't want IOS on my Macs!

  • How can I export Outlook 2007 contacts to Leopard Address Book application?

    Hi,
    I just bought a MAC and I want to get rid of my PC, but first i want to export my CONTACTS from my Windows MS Outlook 2007 and import them in Leopard Address Book application.
    Any way I can do that ?
    Many thanks !

    I don't know if doing it with single vcards is the way you want to have it. This can be a quite big task when having many contacts.
    In Outlook You can export them as text file. You got to +File - Import and Export+. In the assistent you choose "Export to file". Then you choose "comma seperated (Windows)" In the next step you mark your Contacts folder. Then you choose where you want to save your output file. (I mountet my Documents folder on the mac and saved it there). Finish this assistent.
    Now on the mac you open AdressBook. +File - Import - text+ file and choose then your .csv file. Now in the AdressBook a import window opens where you can set all the fields matching to where Outlook stored the information. But basicly it should work without doing there something. Then you can import all Your Outlook contacts in one run.
    Hope this helps You!

  • Problems with Reverting to an Address Book Backup

    I keep my address book updated on my iMac at home that is running OS v10.6 Snow Leopard. At work, I am now using a G5 that is running OS v10.4 Tiger. I have created a +Backup of my Address Book+ at home and brought the .abbu file with me to work so that I could +Revert to an Address Book Backup+ on my G5.
    I've done it twice already and I'm still missing vCards (mostly recently added). Also, some of the other vCards have old information. Is there something I'm not doing right? If the solution is to highlight all vCards and +Export vCard...+ then what is the point of +Back up Address Book...+

    Dear Pat,
    Thank you. I have received the exact same reply from Amreso.
    I thank you both for your replies. If the problem occurs again, I shall follow your advice.
    I just need to pluck up the courage. I get so nervous with the computer when it plays up.
    Regards
    Anthony

  • How can I have 2 address books?

    Am new to Mac after microsoft. How can I have 2 address books, can it be done without opening another account?
    thanks.

    not sure if anyone found a solution to this but I found one at this link.

    I wiped my device to fix my problem before I found this, but it seems like this may solve this issue.

    While in the Address Book press the Menu and than Options. Just type in RSET
    (capital letters) and you'll be able to wipe out all your Desktops where the
    Wireless synchronization is Not available. You can keep intact the last Desktop
    where the Wireless Synchronization is Yes.

  • How do I copy an address book from one user account to another?

    How do I copy an address book from one user account to another?

    You haven't understood me. Follow these steps:
    1. Log in the user where are the files you want to transfer, and open a Finder window.
    2. In Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /Users/Shared. Now you're on Shared folder, so leave that window.
    3. Open a new Finder window without closing the old one, go to the folder with the files you want to transfer, and copy them to Shared folder.
    4. After copying the files to Shared folder, go to  > Log Out, and log in the other user.
    5. Repeat the step 2, and you will get access to the transferred files. Now, you can open them directly from this folder, or you can copy them to a folder on your user folder

  • How can I retrieve my address book data??

    I have an old Palm V.  My hotsync cable is bad, it won't sync any more.  And it won't charge the palm, which has been out of charge for, oh, maybe a year.
    So I've still used the Palm Desktop program, to keep track of my telephone numbers, etc.   Well, my cat sprayed the pc, and I had to get a new one.  Meanwhile, with all the shorting out that happened, the program won't open right.  I copied what I thought were the user files, reinstalled Palm Desktop, and got the program open, HOWEVER, the user box comes up like it's a brand new user, and won't recognize when I paste the files to the directory!!
    How do I recover my address book?  I don't care about all the other data, but I NEED this stuff!
    Thanks in advance.

    This question was solved.

    Yes, I have both those files.
    On a lark, I tried opening them through Open Office, AND I can see the data!   It's horribly arranged, but at least it's THERE.  So, problem solved, thank you!!

  • How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name (using v 31.3.0).

    After a computer crash, I had to load Thunderbird (v31.3.0) back into my machine running Windows 8.1, and I successfully imported my address book back up file into Thunderbird (v31.3.0).
    My problem is that I don't see an option to sort the address book by "Last" name, which was available with the version of Thunderbird I had before the crash.
    How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name?

    In 'Address Book'
    Select address book
    'View' > 'Show name as' > 'Last/First'
    The you can sort by Name.
    Either click on 'Name' column header to change sort order,
    If reversed, then click on 'Name' column header again to reverse the order.
    Or
    'View' > 'Sort By' > choose 'Name' and 'Ascending'

  • How can I sync the address book from Mail to my Address book?

  • My wife has iCloud on our computer and I want to break out and create my own account. Once I build the account how do I copy the address book from her account into mine?

    my wife has icloud on our computer and I want to break out and create my own icloud account. I've built the account but can't figure out how to COPY our joint address book onto my account so I can then weed out my own addresses. Please help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    When you log out of the joint account, you should be asked if you want to keep the contacts, you do. When you log into your new account you should be asked if you want to merge contacts, you do.
    If you have already signed into your new account and not taken these options, the simplest thing to do might be to add your wife's account back as a secondary account in system preferences > mail, contacts & calendars. In groups in address book you can drag contacts from your wife's contacts onto your contact group to copy them.

  • 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 move an address book from a pc to my MacBook Pro

    How do I move an address book from a pc to my new MacBook Pro

    Hey andreafiona,
    You can either manually migrate or use Windows Migration Assistant. I'd like to direct you to two articles - the first one here will go over generally what Windows Migration Assistant is about. For you, I'd skip to the section titled "What gets transferred, and to where?" and then "Email, contacts, and calendar information" so you can read about where you contacts will get moved if you choose the WMA option:
    About Windows Migration Assistant
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796
    Then, this next article will be a step by step process for transferring from your PC to the MacBook Pro and will include using both Windows Migration Assistant and manually migrating, whichever you choose:
