Imported address book missing street address

Hello, I have imported my address book from Thunderbird on Windows XP. All went okay, except it is missing the street address (town and other address info is okay). Not sure if this is a Mac problem or the Thunderbird export problem.
Any advise, please??
Cheers, Simon

What format did you export from Thunderbird?
Can't really tell what is wrong without knowing what you exported and how you imported, and if you mapped the fields correctly (in the case of a csv file).

Address Book custom street address fields?

Address Book's street address fields are often way too limiting. For example, often there is a second and third line to a street address.
Example:
MetLife Building
123 Mulberry St
Suite 100
New York, NY 10000
Is there any way to input such addresses into Address Book?
Thanks!

yes, you would start typing the first line in the street field of the address, then click return after building, then on second line type the street address, and after St, click return, the type the suite, then after the last 0 click return...
I believe the format would be exactly how you have it formatted out in your post.
hope this helps

Sync Address Book with Yahoo Address book?

Hi there,
just wondering if its possible to some how sync Address Book with Yahoo Address book?
That is... I have an elaborate Address Book setup on Yahoo, I'd like it so that if I use Yahoo Address Book and create/delete contacts that when I get home and use Address Book, Address Book syncs the contacts structure to the yahoo structure, without me manually intervening...
Is this possible or is there a tool/widget that does this already?
Thanks

while looking for somehting else, i found something here in the discussions that might do the trick. it involves another web-based address book, but might work for you. try getting the plaxo address book plug-in, and then sync your yahoo contacts with plaxo, and then sync that with address book. i'm not sure of the order that would give you the best results, but i'm working on using plaxo as an online backup of my address book, as i will most-likely not be using plaxo otherwise.
my concern for you would be whether one would write over the other, so back up your address book first, or even export the entire thing as a vcard file to your desktop, and then you can re-import and merge them... that way you can sync with your yahoo account, and then add whatever is already in your address book and merge whatever is necessary.
search here in the discussions for the plaxo plug-in, and see if that sounds like it would work for you. the only issue i have right now is that it seems that the plaxo install has somehow affected my icalfix plug-in, but i'll look into fixing that this weekend, i'm sure i just need to move some plug-ins around.
cheers,

How do I create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address book. I already have three address books created for me by Thunderbird. I add all new addresses to one of those but am afraid to delete the other address books because some of their addresses are not repeated in my "main" address book. So if I don't delete all the names in one of the existing books, I need to create an empty book that will not mix the addresses with those in another address book. HOW DO I CREATE A NEW, EMPTY ADDRESS BOOK? I want to be able to create various mailing LISTS using the addresses in this new book so I will eventually have a special address book with a variety of mailing lists I can use as I wish.

In 24.4.0 there is no File|New|Address Book. There is File|New|Address Book Contact. How do I create a new address book ?

I want to delete all the cards in personal address book and collected address, so I delete all of them, but when I reboot thunderbird, they all came back.

Select Help/Troubleshooting Information, click Show Folder to open the profile folder in your OS's file manager, exit TB, delete (or move to another location) abook.mab (Personal Address Book) and history.mab (Collected Addresses). When you restart TB, you should have empty PAB and CA address books.

My Mail Account in linked to my address book. The address book shows First Name, Last Name. When I start an email in Mail, the name does appear but the order is reversed...Last Name, First Name. I must have changed a setting somewhere but I don't know where. Does anyone know how to correct it?

I don't have any problem with my system. My guess is there is something there you aren't quite getting. I'd recommend a visit to your Apple Store, AASP or to contact AppleCare so they can coach you personally.
You can also play with the Address Book Preferences. However to see how changing a Preference affects the Address Book drag the Preferences window off of the Address Book so you can see both the Preferences window and Address Book Windows. Then toggle a Preference and you will see it instantly changes in the Address Book.

Sync Address Book with Mail Addresses

What's the trick to sync Address Book with Mail Addresses. My Mail Addresses has only a handful of my addresses from addresses from Address Book.
Thanks

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, when composing a message, the address is not completed when typing is begun. I have checked the Mail Preferences - Composing and there is a check mark beside "Automatically Complete Addresses". The "Configure I.DAP" window is blank and I do not know what, if anything, should be in that window.

3000 old emails back to 2009 came along for the ride when I transferred aol address book to Mac address book. All attempts to delete en masse have no results. Too much stuff. Procedures?

3000 old emails, some as far back as 2009, came along for the ride when I transferred aol address book to imac address book. Can't find the magic key to permanently delete them. Ideas on procedures?

I'd try deleting 50 at a time - 3000 is a stretch.
By the way, double posting is not at all helpful.

Address book app and Addresses pane in Mail not synced

Address book app and Addresses pane in Mail not synced
I add a contact to Address Book app eg [email protected], this address is not imediatley available to use in Apple Mail app.
The address [email protected] eventually appears in the Address panel in Maill app, it can take from 3 minutes to hours to appear, surely both apps are reading the same database.
This is particularly problematic when adding new contacts to groups and then emailing that group, Im never sure the group in Mail app is the same as the group in Address Book app.
Nothing seems to speed up this process ie quitting and re-opening Mail app or Address book app.
I have tried deletting "AddressBook-v22.abcddb" ~/Library/Aplication Suport/Address Book
I have tried forcing ~/Library/Aplication Suport/Address Book to re-index.
I have also restarted, repaired permissions, ran fsck -fy in single user mode.

Because the sender has their name as part of the email address that is sent, and when they send you a message that matches the one in your Address Book, it's updated to show their name as Mail received it. But if you had previously sent them email before that update occurred, then your Previous Recipients database in Mail doesn't use that newly updated information in Address Book.

My Mac Book Pro address book has multiple addresses and when I try to "look for duplicates" it says there are none?

My Mac Book Pro Address Book has multiple addresses for the same person from syncing before I cloud. When I try to "look for duplicates" it returns "no duplicates found" why does that happen? How can I correct it?

For which version of Mail and OS?

Address Book - Missing "On My Mac" account. Not able to add contact or import

Hello world,
Should you not be able to add new contacts on the address book (because Menu File -> New Card will not do anything)
or import an address archive from another mac (because the app will just hang or just run forever),
then check the settings Preferences -> Accounts.
If you no not see the "On my Mac" - Local entry (like in the screenshot below) then you are probably just missing a folder named
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/YahooSync.framework
It is about 4.8 MB, if you have a second mac, just copy it from there and restart Address Book.
Just wanted to share this (two days) experience with all of you, because the hints found on the web (like chaning file rights or ACLs removals) do not solve the issue : )
Have fun,
Arthur

If your contacts are in sim card that could explain it as sim card can not hold as many details as phone memory.

Mail and Address Book Missing contacts after importing a VCard

Okay, I don't know precisely when this happened, but I guess it might have happened when I upgraded to Leopard. I rarely used Address Book, but I would add contacts of some of my friends to in every now and then from Mail. Right click on the address in Mail and select "Add to Address Book".
Immediately after upgrading to Leopard I had received a massive VCard from my coworkers, which I promptly added to my Address Book. Weeks later I'm digging around in Address Book and I see only about 10% of my old addresses. ***?!
Stranger, when I go back to Mail and go to Window>Previous Recipients, among the long list of emails there, it shows that the emails that I had long ago added to Address Book ARE indeed in Address Book.
So, three questions:
• Where did my old Address Book contacts go?
• Why does Previous Recipients list my missing contacts as being in Address Book when Address Book itself doesn't show them?
• How can I get the contacts that Previous Recipients sees to appear in Address Book again?

"The ones with the v-card icon are already supposed to be in addressbook, and so, the button goes gray."
Yah. But they don't appear in Address Book anymore.
Something I noticed, in Users>Home>Library>Application Support>Address Book there is "AddressBook.data" and "AddressBook.data.previous". Might the ".previous" version be where my old contacts are residing? Might there be a way to pry them out and merge them into the other file?
Hmm.

Why is my address book missing iCloud contacts?

Today I decided to move my personal contacts to iCloud. I wanted to do it all nice and clean. These are the steps I took:
I exported my personal contacts from Outlook into a vcf file.
I logged into iCloud.com and imported the vcf file to get all my contacts on iCloud. It worked.
I deleted the old contacts I still had in Address Book "on my Mac" to start with a blank slate.
I added my iCloud account in Address Book.
In the end, the sync worked only partially. Less than half of the contacts that are on iCloud got downloaded to my Address Book (48 out of 112).
Ok, long breath. My spider sense told me it was just a bug. This is what I've done so far to try to fix my problem:
I have unchecked and rechecked "Contacts" under System Preferences > iCloud. When prompted, I chose to delete the contacts from my Mac.
I have deleted all the contents under User > Library > Application Support > AddressBook.
I have restarted Sync Services in the Terminal with the command/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync.pl full
So far, no luck. It is always the same contacts that get transferred over. They have no special characteristics, fields or any significant differences. Pretty disappointing.

Update: So I fixed it, although very tediously and without really knowing what was wrong.
I realized that once I edited a missing contact on my iPhone, Address Book would fetch it correctly. So what I ended up doing was making a small edit twice (e.g. deleting a letter from the contact's name, saving, adding it back again, and saving again) on my iPhone for all of those missing contacts.
My contacts are now completely in sync and I can sleep peacefully at night.

"send/call" key shortcut to address book missing in 4.5?

i know this may sound nitpicky but in 4.3 i loved this feature where you just press and hold the green call/send button and go to address book. after updating to 4.5 it is not there. now, i know i can assign the convenience keys, show shortcut on home screen, and such to go to it but ive got all that just how i like it. i know you can hit a letter and takes you to the corresponding letter in address book also. when they removed it did they make any other "1 press" access to FULL address book? forgive the nitpickiness....haha

Thanks to both j.v. and Barney for your suggestions. I used a combination of your two ideas to almost solve this problem. The two computers are both connected to the same wireless network. From the MBP, I logged onto the PB using its ID/password. This gave me access to all files on that machine from the MBP. Importing the backup file Barney suggested earlier did not work - the Group names came over, but not the address cards! In fact, I couldn't delete the Groups within the application. I had to go eliminate the files in Library/Applications/Address Books folder to eliminate them.
In the PB, I then made Vcards as suggested for each Group as suggested by j.v. Since I was logged onto the PB via the MBP, I could see all these files. I thought I was home free when I imported the first Group's address cards, created a new Group with the same name, and dragged all these cards into the Group. For the subsequent groups, I had hoped to use the Last Import list, creating new group names for each group that I imported. HOWEVER, for some reason, Last Import contains all the cards imported, not just the last group! Any ideas as to how to overcome this problem? Is there a single file that I can delete to clear out Last Import?
Thanks again for any ideas.
Bob
