HT2486 My address book won't work

I just installed Snow Leopard and now my address book won't open. It says I have address book 4.1.2, but I can't find an update or anything for it. Help please! I need my addresses!

The latest version of address book for 10.6.8 is 5.0.3
You could apply, if you haven't already (or) reapply the combo update Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
That should solve your problem. You should also check out software update for things like the new security update 2012 004.

Address Book won't work with a Mercedes

2007 Mercedes and the IPhone will not load the address book. f.w.i.w. In calling Mercedes they blame iPhone and simply say "sorry". Does anyone have a clue? thank you, john s

Thank you for the help...
I can see only the calls on the car display that I have called from my car key pad. Calls make from the phone itself do not show up on the sent, recieved tab.
It is synced with "MB Phone" "Paired"
When I make or get a call from the phone it asks it I want 1. MB Phone Sys Speakers, 2. iPhone with Speakers. or 3. iPhone. The hands free does work but I have to use the phone to dial from contacts or dial from car key pad.
I had a V1 Motorola with Bluetooth and it worked fine.
The main problem is it won't upload the contacts so you can't use the cars system to select who you want to call.

Mail v. 5.3 and Address Book Won't Work from Time Machine Reinstall

I installed a new harddrive in my MacPro 15" (early 2011) running OS X 10.7.5. I successfully reinstalled OS X10.7.5 and all my software/files from Time Machine. However, I get messages on Mail v. 5.3 (1283/1278) and Address Book that "you can't use this version" with Mac OS X v 10.7.5 (Build 11G63) and I should check with the developer. Everything is up to date regarding updates. Can someone help with this problem please? Thanks.

Hello,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk.

HT2486 address book won't open

Address Book won't open last 4 days. It is OPEN but I cannot use it. Rt click SHOW ALL WINDOWS and I see Address Book and my contacts are there. I click on Address Book and it Disappears ie- Minimizes back to an ICON in teh DOCK.
Can't find a solution. HELP

Might be corrupted preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy / paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.AddressBook.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.

Apple Address Book Won't Open

On my iMac G5, my Apple Address Book won't open. It has been working perfectly and I've never had a problem since buying the computer about a year ago. Though the name appears on the top menu bar and the triangle shows beneath the Address Book icon on the Dock, nothing appears on the screen. I ran the Disk Utility Repair Permissions, but aht didn't correct it. I've rebooted and that didn't solve the issue either. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Verify/repair your disk first (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
I don't know how to troubleshoot Address Book, other than replacing its data with a backup copy if you have one, or just getting rid of that data. Address Book stores the preferences in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist, and everything else in the ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder.
You may try moving those files out of there, to the Desktop. You may try removing just the com.apple.AddressBook.plist preferences file (so that Address Book re-creates it again), for example, or removing just AddressBook.data and renaming AddressBook.data.previous to AddressBook.data. Whatever you do, make a backup copy of those files first, just in case.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder.

Deleted sync framework, now ical and address book don't work

In an attempt to get rid of all the isync and .mac things on my mac I deleted some sync files that I need. I deleted the sync framework and sync services out of my system/library folder. Now ical and address book won't open. The crash log says it needs the syncservices framework and privateframework. Could somebody help me out as I obviously need those programs. I tried copying those file from my g4 imac to my intel but that didn't work. I refuse to reinstall the system again. (I make lots of mistakes, but I gotta learn, right?) Help is appreciated. Thanks

ProwessLegacy,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Based on your description, if you refuse to reinstall the system again, may I suggest an Archive and Install as an alternative. It can preserve user and network settings with minimal disruption to your current installation.
You will have to reapply subsequent updates but it will be less of hassle than digging around for replacements for unknown missing components.

Address book won't save changes to note field

Like the header says. Address book won't save changes to note field. There's another thread with the same header: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2591053?threadID=2591053 But it's archived so I had to post this new one.
If I made a change in any non-note field however, it would stay.
Note: the notes field can be edited with actually having to go into official "edit" mode. Does this make it more prone to corruption? Why would Apple make the notes field NOT need that extra step of protection. Do they think my notes aren't as important? How would they know?
I fixed this one card with a bandaid solution by exporting it and reimporting it. But I guess I need to do that with all 2,000 of my contacts now. It was mentioned on theother thread that somebody made an address book backup and then deleted every contact in the address book and imported them fresh from the backup and that worked.
The underlyilng issue is still not solved though. How could this happpen in the first place, and how do I know what other contacts haven't held lthe changes I thought I made?

Hi,
Using the Note field
You can add notes to any contact in Address Book. This makes it easy to keep track of details about a person in your address book.
Select the person in the Name column in Address Book, then click the Note field in the card.
The Note field can be edited at any time, even if the card is not in edit mode.
You could make a dedicated field that requires the edit button...
Using custom labels
You can change the label that appears next to a piece of information on a contact's card. For example, you might want to change "work" to "support" next to a phone number.
Select the contact that you want to change.
Click the Edit button at the bottom of the window.
Click the label next to a field, then choose Custom from the pop-up menu.
Enter a new label for the field.
The new custom label appears on this contact's card only.
If you want to change a specific label on all cards in your Address Book, edit the card template. Choose Address Book > Preferences and click Template. The Template pane also allows you to add other types of fields on contact cards, such as a nickname, job title, birthday, anniversary, and URL. Use the Add Field menu.

Address Book Won't Launch in Leopard

Suddenly, Address Book won't launch in Leopard. It worked after initial installation but now won't open. I have tried re-syncing with .Mac, re-starting. Address Book info (e-mail addresses) is still accurate and available in Mail.
I also installed Leopard on my Mac Book. No problems, Address book works fine.
How can I fix?

Here's what I got.

My Address Book won't sync with iphone anymore...HELP!

My Address Book won't sync with iphone anymore. After installing the latest update for iphone, my address book no longer syncs with iphone and vica versa. Anyone had this problem? Can you help?

Yes, I've done that plus have tried syncing selected contacts and also ALL. Still won't work...

Address book won't respod

I inadvertently merged all my contacts in address book and now the program will not open. I have everything backed up on .mac. How do I get the program to open so I can sync my contacts?
Sally

Well, if Address Book won't respond, then you're going to have to try to restore from the backup, if you have one. So, let's try this:
1. Go to Users/username/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook and move it to the Trash, then try opening Address Book again. +*Do Not*+ empty the Trash.
2. If that doesn't work, go to Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook and move its contents to a temporary file on the Desktop. Then, open Address Book and reimport from your backup (File/Import/Address Book Archive, or reimport the vCards) to rebuild this folder.
Once everything is OK, delete the temporary stuff from the Desktop, and empty the Trash.
If you have no backup, you will have to reimport the vCard data using the MetaData files, which look and act like vCards, but their file names don't end in vCard. To do that:
1. Open Address Book.
2. Go to your Trash and drag the com.apple.AddressBook folder out onto your Desktop. Drill down into that folder until you find the MetaData folder; that's where all your contacts are stored in individual files.
3. You can select all (Command A) and drag them on the open Address Book window to import that data back. When it's done, check to be sure all your contacts are there, though you will probably lose those that were imported as a result of your merge.
4. When you've verified that everything works, make a backup of your Address Book; use the File > Backup Address Book… menu item and save the backup to a safe destination on your hard drive or an external drive. Do this every time you make any change to your Address Book and always save them to the same place, as the backups have their creation date on them. You can trash the older one.

Add sender to address book no longer working

"Add sender to address book" no longer works. It flashes the menu bar as if it is working, however, when I go to the Address book, the new person is not there. This has been going on for a number of weeks.
Any ideas?

Keith,
Since you have confirmed that the maintenance scripts have been used, then you may benefit from the troubleshooting procedures listed in Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption.
I would also suspect .plist corruption with com.apple.mail.plist and/or com.apple.AddressBook.plist.

Hotmail address book no longer works

My hotmail address book no longer works. When I press "To" in the address bar, nothing comes up. If I press "reply" to respond to an email then again, nothing happens. I have to copy and paste the address. The only way I can find out an address is to go into the search box, bring up an old email and paste the address from it. This problem happened a while ago and seems to be after one of the automatic Firefox updates. Please can you advise? Thanks

The search feature in Address Book no longer works

I have over 2,400 contacts. For no apparent reason the search feature in my Apple Address Book no longer works. The Address Book app has quit several times recently, again for no apparent reason. It is probably unrelated, but Preview has also been quitting. I have repaired permissions and used Disk Warrior 4.4 to rebuild the directory. Any thoughts?

That was a while back...after a little research to jog my memory, it had to do with iCloud. I found this on another page, and I think this is what I did to fix it:
"I had the same problem and fixed it a slightly different (and probably safer) way:
Backup your Address Book - File > Export > Address Book Archive
Go into preferences > iCloud - untick syncing for Contacts
When it asks you, tell it to delete the contacts from your local Mac (all your local address cards will be deleted but they will still be in iCloud)
All your cards should now be deleted from Address Book on your Mac
Quit Address Book
Go into preferences > iCloud - tick syncing for Contacts (this will download your contacts into Address Book again)
Open Address Book and after a few secs you should see all your cards and the problem should be fixed"
The important part is to be sure to export your Address Book before doing anything. I think I ended up afater deleting all the cards and quitting address book, I reimported them from the backup I exported. Has been fine since. This is pretty safe as long as you have that exported file.
