Look of the address book in lion?
Is there a way to change the look of the address book in lion? I can not stand the fact that I updated becouse my old computer died, and now I have to try to like Lion. Who whats a leather address book? If I want that I will go back to PC. I looked up all the settings I thought It could be, and can not seem to find any settings for it.
There's no setting in Lion to change this look.
If you are willing to hack around a bit, you could try one of these:

http://www.simplehelp.net/2011/07/24/how-to-change-the-default-address-book-leat her-skin-in-os-x-lion/
I have no idea how well they work.

Address book in Lion tries to send updates to wrong URL in carddav server
As the title says. We have lion with address book. Out of the box.
We have a caldav carddav server that has been used with older macs no problem, and iphones work perfectly also with the server.
This is the problem.
The account is set up on the address book app, and the initial connection works perfectly.
After adding username, password and server address, the address book application finds the correct contacts at the following URL:
/principles/users/[email protected]
You can see this url if you go to the preferences/accounts. You cant edit the URL, which is strange, as you can in iCal (ical works perfectly BTW)
Initial read from the server is fine.
If we change a contact on the server, then click on the address book application, you see the spinner for a second, and the new changes can be seen.
If you make a change on the address book, the changes are NOT reflected on the carddav server.
Both Macbook and server on on same LAN
Server ip address is 10.200.200.51
The port is 8008
The principle URL is /principals/users/[email protected] (which is shown in the address book app as correct)
However, when the address book is changed, and it tries to update the server we see the following on the macbook logs as it is trying to update the server:
You will notice it looks like the address book is trying to connect to a folder that does not exist on the server.

What is interesting is that ical works perfectly (in both directions)
Im not sure if the '%40' in the address book app for the '@' symbol is an issue??
The server path url in address book is not editable as it does not sit in a editable field, unlike it is in ical.
Either way, both the ical and address book find the principle URL correctly, but the address book app then uses a different url when it tries to connect to upload changes made on the address book app.
Any help would be really appreciated!! :-) Maybe there is a way to change the URL in a settings file somewhere???
thanksI have a similar issue. My initial iCloud sync works fine and then when I try to merge a contact I get an error. My iCloud doesn't sync after the initial sync it seems.

In Lion, can I hide the address book without the application closing?
In Snow Leopard, when I clicked the red circle in the upper left-hand corner of the address book, the application automatically hid without closing entirely. In Lion, the same action closes the application so every time I need to use it, the address book has to reopen and reboot. Is there a way to change my preferences so the application hides instead of closing?
I have to keep a number of documents and other files minimized, which really crowds my dock. I'd rather be able to hide applications like calendar (which hides without an issue) and address book. I'm not sure why apple made this change. Most of the other appliations work this way—hiding when you hit the red button. I've been minimizing, but finding it a cumbersome way to use the application.

Download Address Book Extractor from the App Store ($1.99), export to a csv file and open in the spreadsheet of your choice.

When I try to create a group from the address book, when I drag over the names from the contact list, the names duplicate in the address book.
Hi cavu10horses,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has instructions for changing a contact's photo using a photo from iPhoto's Faces feature:
Contacts: Add or change contact pictures
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11580
Select a contact or your own card, and then double-click the picture well.
Select a picture:
Drag an image to the picture well.
Click Camera to take a picture.
If you have pictures in iPhoto, click the Faces button to use a face from iPhoto.
If the contact is linked (it’s in multiple accounts, but displayed only once in Contacts) and has multiple account pictures, click Linked.
Click Edit to edit the picture.
To zoom in and out of the picture, drag the slider. Drag the picture to change which part of it is visible.
To rotate the picture, hold down the Option key while you click and drag the picture.
To apply special effects, click the Effects Gallery button and choose an effect.
Click Done.
Cheers,

Address Book in Lion Server....Read Only
Hi,
Is there a way on how to making the addressbook server read only (meaning can't be edited)?
Last year, I setup a Lion Server for a company that will serve as an Addressbook server for them and at the same time
configuring their devices via Profile manager. Problem is every now and then, clients unintentionally sometimes adding address or deleting
some of the address (phone numbers) in that addressbook resulting to frequent remake of the companies shared addressbook.
Here is my desired setup:
An addressbook that only the admin can made a change (add/delete contacts).
Im looking into LDAP as a addressbook but Im not familiar with it.
Thanks in advance...Did anybody answer back to you yet about how to setup READ/CREATE/EDIT/DELETE rights on the Address Book Server ! We have had poeple in our company ereasing entries on shared address books so many times that we are thinking about switching back to windows.... I mean come on people at apple, these where the basics back in the days of DBase, how can they be missing today... I have trouble comprehending this way of thinking!
I found this site on the net wich looks somewhat what I am looking for, but this seems to influence the whole server, I need this on address book level though:

Script to Update SL Address Book with Lion Address Book?
The only thing stopping me from switching from mobileme to icloud is my wife's imac, which is a little too old for Lion. I have seen workarounds to sync calendars and mail, but not address books, via icloud. Since it should be possible to export an address book from the Lion box and import it to the Snow Leopard box, perhaps that could be done automatically, once a day, using a script of some kind over my home network. What would such a script look like?
Any other ideas for periodically replacing/updating the address book on my wife's SL mac with the address book on my Lion mac(s)?The database probably won't do you any good: trying to replace it automatically is likely to fail as it's already in use.That at least was what I found.
You could export the entire contacts list as a vCard, and import it into the other address book, though you would of course need to delete the entire list there first in order to prevent duplications. -
Problems with the address book server! Really need some help here!
Hello everyone!
for about some time now, we're having some troubbles with the address book server located on our Mac Pro Server running SL Server. The connected clients somehow show multiple entries of groups, contacts and everything else address book can show. Sometimes you see one group or contact about 20-30 times or even more.
How can the addressbook server on SL Server be configured that these faults won't show up again. With this present, using address book server is useless. As far as my knowledge goes, I've tried everything I can. I deleted the address book account set up on each client, readded it, but no help. I stopped the address book server on the Mac pro, but no help either.
For your further information: we're connecting 14 clients. Moste of the rum Lion, three run ML and several iDevices connect via WiFi.
Please help me, as this really is frustrating!
Looking forward for your help.
Regards,

Messenger Express: How do I add the Directory Server to the address book search tool?
In Messenger Express (ME) how do I add the Directory Server (DS) to the address book
search tool?
<P>
Edit the globals.pl file. Look for a line similar to: <BR>
@dirservers = ('MyCompany::phonebook.foo.com::o=FooCorp.,c=US','Four11 Directory::ldap.four11.com::');
<P>
Add an entry to the list. The list is comma delimited and each entry is a
string. The string contains three fields, delimited by a double colon (::). The
first field is the name you want to appear in the User Interface (UI). The second is
the hostname of the DS and the third is the Distinguished Name (DN) to use when searching.
<P>
Please note, Messenger Express is part of the Messaging Server. For more
information on Messenger Express, please see the release notes at
http://home.netscape.com/eng/server/MExpress/relnotes.htmYou can't add a new contact to specific group and there is no app for this. 3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone APIs with security concerns being a primary reason, which such a function would require.

How to delete multiple desktop in the address book option?
I am trying to synchronise the adress book to a blackberry.
Here`s the setting,
BES version 4.0.3.5
blackberry 8330
e-mail platform: Lotus Notes on Domino servers
The adress book is the names.nsf file from the computer that is copied to a server.
In the BES console when I double click on the profile of the client to get the properties, I go into the "PIM Sync" and I add the server location in the proper field and the Relative path location in the proper field also.
Client called me this morning telling me that his contacts doesn`t synchronised with his Lotus Notes. After investigating, I see that in the option of the Adress book, if I go in the Desktop, "wireless synchronisation" is "not available".
1st: I removed the info in the profile and apply the changes (from the BES console) wait a minute or 2 then add back the relative path location and the server location.
- after a minute or 2, the client tells me that he sees the "wireless synchronisation" at Yes. but then he says it still not synchronise because he doesn`t see the changes he made that morning.
2nd: I do a soft reset (alt+caps+del)
- now we noticed that there is 2 "desktop" in the options of the adress book
3rd: went into the Options - Advanced Options - service books - and deleted Desktop ALP and Desktop SYNC - did a soft reset again
At one point, I had again only 1 Desktop but for some reason it "doubled" in entries and when I looked in the adress book ,there is a bunch of double entries.
4th: did an enterprise activation on the blackberry (without doing a hard reset to wipe the data) when it completed, I still had 2 desktop, 1 with 530 entries (the good one) was at "wireless synchronisation" at yes, the 2nd desktop (1029 entries) has "wireless synchronisation unavaliable.
When we enter the adress book all entries are now in triple, if I select "select adress book" and I select the 1st one, then all entries are fine. Is there a way to remove the 2nd desktop without interfering with the synchronisation of the first desktop whichi is the good adress book?
sorry for the long explanation and thanks for the help.

Message Edited by robgou on 04-08-2009 08:59 AMI am having a similar problem with an 8900 Curve. Unfortunately, the contacts are all in the BlackBerry, and I can't sync them back to the Lotus Notes address Book, it's the incorrect address book that is trying to sync to Lotus Notes.
I'm afraid if I delete the service books, I'll lose the contacts for good.
