I cannot access my address book now that I have updated to Snow Leopard.
I bought Quickbooks 2012 for the Mac, which required that I update my OS to Snow Leopard (at least.) So I purchased it online (not available at apple stores anymore.) And Installed it. Then I went to apple and got the free updates and installed them. Now I cannot use my address book. A message comes up that says " You can't use this version of the application Address Book.app with this version on Mac OS X. You have address Book.app 4.1.2" HELP! All my personal and business contacts are in there and predictably, I need them.
Can you open Contacts and edit, insert, and delete cards, or does it fail to work, also?

My phone contacts don't sync with Address Book now that I have "Lion"! PLEASE HELP!
Hello!
I have a Macbook Pro and have recently downloed Lion .... after having done this, my contacts no longer sync with Address Book. My calendar syncs with the iCAL but my contacts don't sync. I don't have iCloud set up and am not sure if that makes a difference, but any help would be GREAT!
Thanks!
EstherThe link provided did not contain a solution for me. However, based on what I read there, I was able to figure out the solution on my own.
Here it is. If you have a Motorola razr. Sorry I don't know which version of the phone or software I have. Go to phonebook. Choose the options by selecting the center menu key. Scroll through the list until you find Share Phonebook Entry. It is not in alphabetical order and may be the last entry. Select it and on the next screen choose bluetooth. The next screen is object exchange. If your computer appears as an option choose it, otherwise chose Look for device and when your computer comes up, select it. The phone will then send a card to your computer. Your computer will ask if you wanted to accept the card. There is also a box that gives you the option to select all. Check select all and then choose accept or hit return if accept is already highlighted in blue. The phone card will be saved to your computer in a default save location. You will next be given an option to see where the card is, in case you don't remember where your default location is. If you choose it, a window will appear showing you where the card is.
Next run isync and your data should be synchronized. Many duplicate entries will be somewhat altered in your computer's address book, i.e. first and last name will be combined and put in the first name box and so will not be recognized as duplicates. This is just part of the idiosyncrasies of the process. Manually go through and delete these.
This worked for me and I hope it is helpful to someone else out there having the same problem.
Thank you for the link Julian and others. -
I have a G5 which I intend to keep.
Now that I have updated my iphone 4s to iOS 7.0.
I cannot add music to my iphone or upload photos to iphoto.
I have the last itunes 10.6.3. which was supported by apple.
itunes will not interact with my iphone on any level.
Apple made all the equipment I use.
Bentley and Ferrari etc do not stop making parts for their cars?
The least Apple could is.
A. Update itunes to run on a G5
Regarding iOS 7.0 you have totally lost the plot.
We buy apple why?
Quality.
Intuitive interface.
Stable software.
Design.
All that Steve Jobs consider sacrosanct.
Quality is about ongoing support longevity of product.
Its not about trying to sell to every person on the planet, others are way ahead of you.
So try respective the customers you have, it wont be long before theirs a better operating system and your lead in hardware is marginal.

My post on facebook this morning.
If you have an iPhone or iPad do not update to ISO 7 unless you want an operating system that looks like windows 8. The graphics looks like it was designed by a artistically challenged mongoose and the operating system is not intuitive something apple users expect. Overly complicated ugly and generally change for the sake of apples paranoia since the death of Steve Jobs.You need to update iTunes to 11.1 on your PC

I can't access my Numbers documents now that I have OS Mavericks 10.9.3. It says I need to buy an upgrade for 19.99 to access them. Anyone else have this problem?
If you upgraded from previous OS, Look in Applications folder for an iWork folder and launch old Numbers from there.
If you clean installed, look for your old install disks for iWork and reinstall.
They will run on Mavericks but they need to be there. -
Address Book won't open (without crashing) in Snow Leopard
OK, I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but I have yet to get Address Book to work successfully since upgrading to Snow Leopard. When I click on the icon, the Address Book window appears, says I have "0 cards" (when, of course, I have many more than that), and then before I can take any action (i.e., click on anything), the spinning beach ball appears. This has occurred even after restarting the machine and attempting to move the preference file out of the user Library.
Any thoughts on this?I am having the same problem with mail and addressbook - both upon launching result in spinning beach balls - requiring force quit. I have seen and tried to remove the preference files related to address book, as well as the smart groups to noavail - also noted is my laptop now runs incredibly hot and battery performance is markedly degraded.

I have never had a passcode to lock my iPad. Now that I have updated it with IOS7 it is asking for one and is locked. How do I unlock this without having to reset the whole thing through iTunes????
Unfortunately, if the iPad is insisting that you use a passcode, there is no way around it other than to restore the device using iTunes on a computer, or by erasing it in iCloud.com via Find My iPhone.
You could try resetting the iPad and cross your fingers and hope this is just a blip on the radar....hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. -
I was able to text my friend to her number but now that I have updated my iPhone it shows that it's an iMessage when I text her to the same number, I know that with iMessages you have to turn on your Internet but I'm texting her to her same number so it shouldn't be an iMessage. Can someone please help?
Hi rennekamp3,
If your machine currentlty won't boot past a grey Apple screen, you may find the following article helpful:

Note: If you get to the portion on starting from the Install Disks or performing an Archive/Erase & Install, you'll notice this article has not yet been updated for the more recent operating systems. In that case, you may want to refer to the following article:

I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package

The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link, it took about 4 minutes to download on my test. -

Since installing Mountain Lion I am unable to access my address book when sending or forwarding an e-mail. The insert address link at the top does not function. Previously it would be blue and would respond when clicked on now it does nothing. Is there a fix for this?
Can you open Contacts and edit, insert, and delete cards, or does it fail to work, also?

How to Open Address Book from 08 in 09? or Snow Leopard 10.6.8
When I upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8, I seemed to have lost the majority of my contacts in Address Book. However, I saved the Address Book on a flash drive....which now when I try to open that, it says "This version of Address Book is not compatible". How am I suppose to open it?
Many thanks.Most likely, one of these is the culprit.
com.sophos.kext.sav 8.0.14
com.waves.driver.soundgrid 2.0.0
Boot into safe mode (restart holding down SHIFT key). If no KP, then disable these, reenable one at time to determine which. If KP, then most likely hardware related. Run the Apple Hardware Test suite, extended tests at least twice, followed by Rember. See

I no longer have the Snow leopard disks so I can't just reload the OS but I told the person I sold the MBP to that it has SL on it so I don't want to wipe it off. Is there a way to remove my personal info without resorting to reloading the software again?
Open Accounts preferences. Click on the lock icon to authenticate. Click on the Add [-] to create a new user account. Give the new account admin status. Set the account for auto-login then restart the computer. The computer should boot into the new user account. Open Accounts preferences, click on the lock icon to authenticate. Select your old account and click on the Delete [-] button. Select the third option to remove the user folder and also check the option to securely erase. If given the option to select the number of passes select one pass only. This should remove your data from any prying eyes.
