Lost Address Book -- can I download from ipod?

I lost the entire contents of my Address Book, but have all the contacts on my ipod. Can I download the contacts from my ipod and import them back into my address book? One thing -- I currently have my computer set to automatically update my ipod, so I'm afraid as soon as I plug it in it will "update" my ipod with zero contacts. If I switch my ipod to disk use manually and then plug it in to my macbook, will that prevent this from happening? I checked the Library folder and there isn't even an Address Book folder in there at all. Help me!

I am not sure what you were doing when your AB data was lost. But you can check in Library/Application Support/AddressBook if there is a file called AddressBook.data.previous and if it is dated before you lost the data.
Then in the Address Book Application under the File menu there is a choice to Revert To Address Book Back Up. Might be worth a shot.
Good luck!

How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them

How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them. They have a ton of books but I can only listen to them from my windows media player and I wouldlove to download to my I pod but I have tried everything I can think of it they won't go over. Someone said all I had to do was copy them over and they would convert but I can't even get them to copy. Thanks.

Well it started happening AGAIN with my 2nd IPod. No matter what I did, it Itunes would NOT restore it!
I finally installed Itunes on my hubby's PC at work and managed to get it restored there.
Apparently, there must be some sort of compatibility issue with the windows version of Itunes and some other piece of software on my pc.
And one more important thing! I had to follow the instructions in the other thread that talks about how to correctly uninstall itunes and quicktime, in order to completely eliminate ALL traces of my "first" ipod's existence so it wouldn't demand that I restore it.
I think the software got "confused" and thought when I connected my 2nd ipod, that it was the 1st and that it still needed to be restored.
Basically, this is just POORLY written and POORLY tested software!

My copy of Address Book App was erased from Maverick. How can I replace it?

Address Book App was deleted from the iMac running Maverick. My other iMac runs Snow Leopard and that version of Address Book 5.0.3. won't run on Maverick. Where can I d/l the software?
And how can I copy in the addresses from 5.0.3?
Appreciate the help.

I bought this iMac and another from a non-prof group that got a gift of newer Macs. The addresses in Address Book were theirs. I thought I was deleting them, but deleted the entire address app. This is the only machine I have running Mavericks. Others are on Snow Leopard.
I do not have the Mavericks install disk but I'll ask for it tomorrow.
PeachMac offered to install Address Book and any other system software for $69. But that's still not my contact list of 200 or so.
I'm investigating resources.
First I have to send my broken, no-boot MacBookPro to Florida for a motherboard or whatever it needs. I have a Snow Leopard Time Machine back-up for that. I doubt there's a way to Restore that back-up to a Mavericks machine. Apple ain't that kind.

Trouble getting Mac Address Book to sync fully into iPod Contacts

I have a new fifth generation iPod and iTunes 7.0.2. I have had my iPod for ~2months and most of the time I have been struggling to get my Address Book to syncronize into my iPod contacts list. The behavior since the first sync has been that get 18 contacts appear in my iPod when I am trying to get all 331 from my Address Book.
Things that I have tried...
- Restoring the iPod to original factory settings
- Adding new contacts - no change to iPod list
- Updating fields in existing contacts
- deleting All (Address Book, iTunes , iPod , iApps, iSync) preferences
Any other suggestions?

I said that last one wrong. AddressBook accempted all 8,000 of my Filemaker records. It was the iPod that would only accept 4,000 when I sync-ed. Does the iPod have a limited on 4,000 contacts?
Bobby (or anyone)....one more issue. I may have dumb something dumb. After importaing 4,000 records into AddressBook, I naturally wanted to upload to my .Mac site so I could then sync this new Contact file with my office and laptop Macs. My office and laptop are the two Macs that I routinly sync for songs, photos, calendars, etc. Unfortunately, I did this calendar upload last night from another Mac that is NOT used for iCal. So guess what. When I uploaded the contact items, it also sync-ed the Mac's calendar. Since that Mac had no calendar entries, all my calendar entries got deleted from .Mac. Stupid, stupid, stupid. In need to figure out now how to upload and sync ONLY contacts or ONLY calendar items. I'm hoping that when I get back to work (which has all the calendar items in iCal), I can somehow upload ONLY the calendar stuff and have it replace what's now on .Mac. Not sure how to do that, since normally sync-ing involves downloading the .Mac data to your computer. -- david

No contacts in address book, can not find address book anymore

I was trying to switch default email accounts, Hughes.net was the default and Yahoo the secondary and I wanted to swap these around as I am no longer using Hughes net.
In doing so I lost all email folders and address books. I have rebuilt the folders but now I see that I have no address book in either accounts.
Are they gone for good?
Thanks.
Jeff

There are two default address books in Thunderbird. Both of these address books can be copy pasted between mail accounts.
''Personal Address Book'' is called '''abook.mab'''
''Collected Addresses '' is called '''history.mab'''
These are stored in your Profile folder in the mail account name. But it would need your old mail account to be intact in order to copy anything from it to another mail account.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
* C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Profile name\ mail account name
The AppData folder is folder is a hidden folder; to show hidden folders, open a Windows Explorer window and choose "Organize → Folder and Search Options → Folder Options → View (tab) → Show hidden files and folders".
If your original mail account is still there: Profiles\Mail\mail account name
You could simply recover it. Info here:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_deleted_mail_accounts
Remember, when performing any changes in Profiles folder, Thunderbird must be closed first.

One of the best programs for copying music from your ipod to your computer. And the best part is it works with pc, mac, and linux.
Just remember to enable your ipod as an external hardrive.

No kids or pets --- just me!I don't think there is too much mystery about the deletion of Address Book on my laptop. I was trying to get it up-to-date from my desktop computer and as that is Lion and the laptop is sitll Leopard (all these ***** cats!) I must have trashed the laptop Address Book, then tried to install the one from Lion but, of course it couldn't be installed - wrong system! By then I had lost Address Book!! Horrors! I then lifted it from my husband's computer (Panther or something!) et voila! But I had expected to have all HIS names and address in Address Book when I opened it but -- not so, his were not there and mine were! Don't ask!!
Thanks again and regards, Lecia

Can't download from the AppStore or update any existing apps, also can't update the OS version as OTA, Any help ?

Hi
I'm using the iPad mini with iOS 6.1.3
I have a repeated Problem:
I think it belongs to connecting to apple servers at a whole.
When I use the AppStore and tries to download or update any existing app, I get this message " can't download from the App Store "
Also when I try to update my iOS it says FAILED
This happens every 2 weeks and lasts about another 2 weeks
I don't know what's wrong or how to fix it, Any help ?

Address Book Question (possible move from Exchange Server to Mac Server)

I currently run an Exchange Server. What I like the most about it is that no matter what I use to access my e-mail account, I have my calendar and contacts. Plus everything that I do from any method of access shows up in a different method of access.
So the question is, if I go to the Mac Server and run mail services with webmail, can I access my calendar, contacts, inbox, sent items, subfolders, etc. from my Mac laptop, and then also from a foreign machine that I use to access the webmail? If I went into webmail, would I have all my contacts available? My calendar? Could I check my sent items or subfolders?
Pointers to relevant documentation would be a plus.
Thanks very much in advance.
Jeff

you can piece most/all of it together... but it's certainly not as integrated the way exchange is...
If your main concern is sharing mail folders among several machines and with webmail, this is easy to handle with imap... you could share sent, inbox, etc.
Shared Address Books can be setup with LDAP.. it takes some work though and is a far cry from Exchange...
If you are a tinkerer and your staff can put-up with the tinkering, you could piece many of the features together... but if you are happy with, and use, the exchange features- I'd stick with it.

How many times can I download from volume licensing

Hi all. My university in Japan got me CS5 through volume licensing in Japan. I am asking my question here because it is easier for me to work in English than Japanese, and I don't suppose there is much difference between policies here and there. I am wondering if there is a limit on how many times the software can be downloaded from the site. I believe there is a limit of 2 computers, so I assume I can download it at least once more for my laptop, but I was wondering if I can uninstall it once from my iMac, and download it again (for reasons too boring to go into here). Anyway, can I just download it again and again? I am not up to anything dodgy here, by the way. I only need it for two computers, but it would be good to know this for a couple reasons. For instance, suppose I install it on my MBP, then next year want to install it on a newer laptop. Can I uninstall it on the MBP, then download and install it on the new machine? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Bob.
No, I wasn't planning on doing this as a backup plan, or even doing many times. Just wanted to do a new install on my iMac, and wanted to know if I can install on my MacBook Pro now, and then uninstall it from that MacBook Pro next year so that I can install it on a new notebook. By the way, how can Adobe afford to allow people to download as many times as they want? How can they control it then?

One of my 2 address books can no longer be viewed, how do I access it?

''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1051908 /questions/1051908]''
one of my 2 address books can no longer be viewed, how do I access it? It disappeared within the last few days. I can still find addresses that are in the 2nd address book, but I cannot view it, so only 1/8 of my addresses are now viewable. How do I access the 2nd address book?

Hi ronc2, there isn't a specific setting for this. Firefox's built-in JavaScript settings allow you to control several aspects of scripts*, but unfortunately not this one.
I previously tried to find some other options for individually turning off this event, but I couldn't find a way. Someone might be able to create an add-on to solve this problem, but it will take someone cleverer than I.
Extensions that disable scripts on a site-specific basis:
* If you regularly visit some sites which do this, you can block JavaScript on that specific site using the YesScript extension. Unfortunately, other script-based functionality will be blocked as well.
* YesScript does not preemptively block scripts on every site. If you have to visit a lot of random sites and want to take a paranoid approach of having scripting blocked until you see as much of the site as you can see without running scripts, then the NoScript extension would be for you. But even then it's "all or nothing".
''* These include: JavaScript enabled yes/no, override right-click menu yes/no, change order of windows yes/no, move and resize windows yes/no, close windows yes/no, specific features of pop-up windows, change images yes/no, detect copy/cut/paste and modify selection yes/no.''
