I accidently deleted Address Book....Can I get it back?

Topic. Is there any place on Apple.com I can download it again?

Address Book can be reinstalled as described here:
Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4
If the version of the system software on your installation disks is earlier than what you're using now (and only in that case), then you must also reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you're using, to bring the Address Book application back in sync with the rest of the system.
Your profile says Mac OS X 10.4.7, so while you're at it, you might as well install the latest update instead:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel

Accidently Deleted Mail Icon & can't get mail back

Hi There, Mistakenly all the icons on the desktop have been deleted except the hard drive icon. Now I lost the ability to access my mail program. Had an icon in the dock but it didn't work. It didn't bounce or anything. I tryed to drag it to the desk top & it let me, then it disappeared from the screen. Also lost my calculator short cut on the desktop. Please, any suggestions, I would be grateful.

That's what I figured about the mail. I've also found that I deleted the calculator & I think a pic decompression program for opening pics. But that's minor.
I am happy to report having just check the HD & 20.7 GB is free. I'm in the middle of backing up 992 pics to disc & getting them off the HD to free up even more so it looks like I'm good to go for a reinstall & do an archive.
That sounds like plenty - over 50% free gives the OS plenty of room to play with.
I found out also why I think mail & the other things got deleted. I found that I never made an alias of mail or calc & dragged them from applications to the desktop. I one time before deleted the icon for mail & I dragged it from the Apps folder to get it working again hence when the desktop was accidently deleted there went the mail & calc.
Oops! This is also bad because the apps may not get updated when they should by system/security updates. It's generally a bad idea to move the Apple applications even into sub-directories of /Applications, never mind out of the folder altogether. One thing you might consider is doing your everyday stuff as a standard user rather than as an admin. That should prevent you doing things like that by accident as you'd have to authenticate first. I work from an administrator account because I would just find it too annoying otherwise but there are definite downsides to doing so, including security implications. (There are some things you can do to mitigate the security risks but unless you really need administrative access a lot, you might prefer to run as a standard user.) It also means you have a "clean" account for running Software Update which may be an advantage.
I'm going to try the reinstall & I'll report back the results.
Sounds good! It is still a good idea to backup files you can't afford to lose - even if you plan to archive & install and choose the options to preserve user settings etc., something can always go wrong. But you know that, right?
You sure you don't work for mac? You sound like your very well versed on this stuff.
If I am working for Apple, I sure want to know why they aren't paying me! I'm not especially knowledgeable - there are lots of people on these forums who not only have training (which I lack completely) but vastly more experience. Now doesn't that inspire you with confidence in my advice?!
Can't thank you enough for the back & forth Dialog.
You're very welcome - and thanks for saying so and offering to report back. I like to know whether something I've suggested has helped or not.

I accidently deleted iphoto; how do I get it back for free?

I accidently deleted iphoto; how do I get it back for free?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

Oh!
First thing I think would be to do a search for the folder in case it's somehow got moved.
Failing that, you can retrieve the folder from your original installer disc using Pacifist.
Insert the disc (don't boot from it) and open the installer package with Pacifist. Navigate to the Desktop Pictures folder (might be a bit more fiddly to find in the package structure). When you find it, select the folder, right-click (or ctrl-click) and select 'install in default location' from the context menu.
Exit Pacifist and eject the disc.
Best of luck!

Not sure why you posted your iPhone question in the support forum for the Apple routers.......the AirPort Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express.
You will likely receive a more informed answer if you post your iPhone question in the iPhone support forum. The link is just below.

Address book can't get a new Group Folder & 'large type' function doesn't.

Since loading Tiger a few months ago the Address Book doesn't function as it did. I'd like to reload just the address book software - as that might solve it, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to download specific piece of apple software online. The current irritating problem is I can't create a new folder for a new group - and I'm sure there's other functions that I don't have - besides losing the large type thing and showing the map link on the address etc...

Hmmm...I don't know....I wonder whether this could be a file permissions or ownership problem?
In Terminal.app, when you type
ls -alTk Library/Application\ Support/AddressBook
what do you get? When I type that, I get:
drwxrw-rw- 12 jv user 408 Aug 30 09:23:46 2006 .

Are you seeing similar permissions ("-rw-------", etc.) on all your corresponding files of the same names (AddressBook.data, etc.)? Are they showing the same owner and group as the top two "." and ".." entries (in my case, jv and user -- will be different for you)?

Safari accidentally DELETED!! Can I get it back?

I by accident deleted Safari and I don't have the installation CD. So now I'm stuck without Safari and when I try and download a version that works with 10.3.9 it looks for a previous version of Safari but obviously I don't have this. Could someone help me in getting the latest version of Safari that works on 10.3.9 on my computer. Is there any way?

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
This is somewhat obscure, however, there does exist a downloadable copy of Safari 1.2. You'll need to use another browser, or someone else's computer to get a copy.
Before downloading, open the Finder. There navigate to HD>Library>Receipts and move to the trash (command/delete) any Safari receipt package.
Next, download Safari 1.2 from here.
Once installed, apply the 10.3.9 Combined Update. Do not use the computer during the install. Once done, go to your Utilities folder>Disk Utility and "repair permissions". This update brings Safari up to v 1.3 (unless Apple has since updated the Combined Update to include Safari 1.3.2). You can check Safari's version by going to the Finder: Applications>Safari.app and opening the Info panel of the application (command/I keys after single clicking on Safari). If it's 1.3.2 you're complete.
Otherwise, you can bring Safari up to version 1.3.2 as follow: first, apply the 1.3.1 update, followed by the 1.3.2 update. Once finished, again "repair permissions".
Now go to Software Update in your System Preferences and check for updates. There may or may not be Security Updates for Safari. If there are, select them and let them install. As mentioned above, do not use the computer while the Installer is running.

I have "lost" a voice over clip from my project. Must have deleted it. Can I get it back by using a backup of my computer which I have on an external hard drive

I have inadvertently deleted a voicover to a movie and want to know if I can get it back. I thought perhaps I could use time machine but the backups don't seem to go back far enough for me but I thought they would go back for as long as I have had the computer.

Sometimes voiceovers are not deleted, but still iMovie cannot see them somehow. To see if this is the case, go to your Project in the Finder. Right-click on your project and select SHOW PACKAGE CONTENTS. You should see you voiceovers within the Project Package.
If you do not see your voiceover inside the project package, go to a Time Machine backup (or other backup) from a time when it was working and look in the project package.
The Voiceover should be a .CAF file and it should have the name VOICEOVER followed by a number.

Some of my movies I had on my iPod deleted and I can't get them back?

I had The Hunger Games, Breaking Dawn Part 2, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower on my iPod. They were a free digital copy download from when I bought the movies. I backed up my iPod after putting them on, but today I plugged my iPod into my computer and deleted my purchases (I got those back) but it deleted Breaking Dawn Part 2, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower and I cannot get them back! Could I have some help?

Synced media like apps, music and videos are not included in the backup that iTunes makes.
If you can't redownload the digital copies by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store and y do not have them on your computer or computer file backup than all you can do is contact iTunes
