I've lost the address Book

I have been away for sometime but seem to recall I lost the address before I went. Now I have no idea where to look for it?

Any backup?
Your address books are called abook.mab, abook-1.mab, history.mab .......
and are in your profile-folder. Don't mess with them or their names.

  • When forwarding an e-mail I have lost the address book contact list on the left side.

    I used to have the address book contact list on the left side of the page being forwarded to allow easy selection of addressees. It's gone and I need it back.
    Thank you very much

    Open a Write window and press F9 to toggle the Contact Sidebar on and off.
    You can also turn it on from the View menu in the Write window.

    Did you create these notes in the iPad notes App ... I assume?
    This support article will explain how you can restore from a backup - which is what you have to do in order to have any chance of recovering your note.
    How to backup and restore from a backup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    But you have to remember, that you will lose any of the notes that you have taken since the date of the last backup. If you synced your iPad last week, then you will lose a whole week of current notes - or whatever notes you have created since your last backup. When you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup onto the iPad - that was on the iPad on the time and date of the backup.
    If you backup every day, then all of your notes should be recoverable from the backup - except for any notes that you took since you last backed up. There is no foolproof way to recover everything once you start taking more notes or creating new documents or whatever that you do in an app unless you are syncing those notes with iCloud and backing up all of the time or unless the app is set to sync with iCloud as you work on the files - like in Pages, Numbers or Keynote - Apple's iWorks apps.
    If you decide to restore from an iTunes backup you should turn off at sync before you try restoring because iTunes will want to backup your iPad right away when you plug it in and you will lose your old or last backup.

    There is nothing in the contact app and the backup seems to have disappeared, too.

  • Why are none of the groups in my Address Book showing up the address book tool in the new message window in Mail? Actually how do I get the two to match?

    I seem to have lost the groups from my Address Book in the address book tool in Mail. When I try to address a new email, all my contacts are grouped under all and the other groups found in my Address Book application are missing. Is there a way to get the groups to show up in the address book within Mail?

    When you make changes in AB, quit Mail for the changes to be added to Mail's database file. Reopen Mail and try it.

  • Lost all Address Book entries

    All of a sudden I've lost all my Address Book entries. There's nothing there. I use iBackup onto .Mac, but for some reason I can't get it to restore. It keeps saying that backup fails.
    Please help. Big problem.

    You had no backup before upgrading to Snow Leopard, and you didn't make a backup of your Address Book?
    Upgrading OS X is not something that would cause that data to disappear, so that would seem to suggest that something else is at work, such as human error. Regardless, if you're running 10.6.3 as your profile states, you should run Software Update and get 10.6.8, as it fixes a number of issues.
    You can try to recover your Address Book contacts like this:
    1. Quit Address Book if it's running.
    2. Go to Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
    3. Move the AddressBook.data file to your Desktop or to the Trash. Then, in that same folder, make a duplicate of the AddressBook.data.previous file and rename one copy simply to AddressBook.data and launch the Address Book application. If you're lucky, your data is there. If not, well that highlights the reason for making backups.

  • Unable to synchroniz​e the Address Book on the BB Device with Outlook Software 2010 Contacts

    Enviroment :
    Device Black Berry Bold 9700
    Back Berry Device Software V6
    Cause of problem :
    On the BB Device there are 2 Adress Books with the same name.
    The first one with 109 elements and the flag for wireless synchronization
    The second, which is of most importance to me since it includes my business address book, contains 1837 elements and does NOT have the flag for wireless synchronization.
    Whenever I  try to synchronize the BB Device with the PC , using Black Berry Device Software on my Windows 7 based PC and Outlook 2010 Application Software, only the first Adress Book appears active.
    I tried to solve the problem through the BB Support Forum (see link below)
    http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites​/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB1​...
    and regretfully I found out that no solution are available so far.
    This is a previously reported issue that has been escalated internally to our development team. No resolution time frame is currently available.
    The suggested Work Around doesn't work.
    Since both address books could be cleaned but not erased, it is impossible to delete the first address book and subsequently synchronize the right data .
    I tried to synchronize the BB Device with the Windows contacts but the result is the same: the synchronization works only for the first (small) Address Book.
    Another bit of info, to worsen the situation: last week the HDD (internal disk) on my PC crashed, therefore I lost all my data; as a result, the only correct Address Book  data available is inside the Black Berry device (larger list, which is the second, as stated above) , thus I absolutely need to recover all the 1837 addresses included, since they are vital for my business work.
    I need your help to solve this situation caused by an evident Black Berry Software bug.
    Thanks in advance

    I do not receive any suggestions to solve my problem.
    After 6 month the problem is very urgent, my business address book is vital for my work.
    I have only the copy on the Device Black Berry Bold 9700 and I absolutely need to have a copy of the address book on my computer.
    Do you have solved the bug.
    I need a quick answer and a final right solution
    Thanks

  • Lost my address book entries and current mail program.

    I recently installed Leopard on my G-4 and was not satisfied with it so I attempted to downgrade back to Tiger. In order to do this I had to reinstall Panther which I did, only I lost all my user settings, etc., even though I had checked the box to save. When my desktop appeared, my address book and mail program was empty. I backed up my mail program but have been unable to access my mail from 2007, only up to 2006. I went to Previous Systems, but again, only up to 2006. I have been all over my hard drive looking for my old address book but haven't found anything. Would my old address book still be there and if so, where? And how can I access my mail from 2007, even on the program that is backed up?
    Any help on these two topics is greatly appreciated.

    Hello Allan -
    Your help on a previous post was great re: my wanting to know how to delete the Address Book contents so I can re-import an updated list form my office Outlook, via my yahho/sbcglobal import.
    Well - here is an interesting quandary:
    I have successfully exported my yahoo address book/contacts as a .vcf file Yet - once I have expunged the prior Address Book data and want to now import the NEW Yahoo data to rebuild the database it only takes (enters) the phone numbers and does NOT import ANY of the address information. I am positive I did this once since our original exchange and everything transferred just fine, but now….?!
    What I cannot determine is where the fault may be: does the export NOT include the addresses (in which case I am doing something fundamentally stupid wit the export) or the vcf cards are complete, but Address Book is not “seeing” anything other than the phone #s and e-mail addresses.
    Any thoughts?
    Dazed and confused

  • I just lost my address book folders all except one. Any help available?

    I was inputting information into an address in my address folder. I sent and email to this person and went back to the address book and Only one folder was available. Where did my other folders go? Can I get them back? I had a lot of information in my address book and I'll be lost without it.

    If you have mobile me it's has a glitch that deletes your contacts. uggh. However if you have a back up you can get them back. Here is what Apple told me and it worked. 1. turn off the internet on your computer. go to your time machine icon and go back into time - a time in which you had the contacts (a day ago, a week etc). go the house on the left that has your username. go to application support and grab your address book and drag it to the desktop. that makes a copy of your address book. Close time machine.
    2. Open your hard drive (up in the right corner of your screen) go to username (little house on the left)find Application support and drag the address book on your desktop to the application support file. IMPORTANT: CHECK TO MAKE SURE ON YOUR COMPUTERS THAT YOUR CONTACTS ARE THERE. IF NOT, STOP. CONTACT APPLE.
    3. go to System Preferences. Turn on the internet
    go to mobile me. Sync contacts with mobile me - MANUALLY - REALLY IMPORTANT: you want to make sure that you are syncing from the computer to mobile me (COMPUTER SCREEN TO THE CLOUD). Then hit replace. IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOUR CONTACTS ARE NOW VISIBLE ON YOUR MOBILE ME CONTACTS BUTTON BEFORE PROCEEDING
    4. On your iphone go to settings. go to mail-calendars etc go to mobile me account and turn off contacts. It will ask you if you want to delete the info on the iphone and the answer is yes (don't be scared you are replacing with the info on your computer that you just updated). It will say something like turning off contacts. Wait a few moments, like 5. Turn the contact back on.
    That should do it.

    joanfromatlantic beach
    OUCH !
    Can you identify how you upgraded - for example did you erase your drive during the install?
    Did you create any kind of a backup before doing the upgrade (Always recommended)?
    Did you have Time Machine running on the old OS prior to the upgrade?
    Did you at any time (or has someone else) sync'd your contacts with a Google account?
