Answer 1

I am sure your English is much better than my German, Italian, French, or any other language would be. I have once been to the beautiful city of Geneva, Switzerland and am amazed at the ability of its residents to master several different languages, and their kindness when dealing with Americans like myself who can barely master just one. But I am still not clear about some of the things you say. I will do my best to make myself clear to you by numbering the important questions I must ask about this, and then discussing what I mean about each one:
1. When you say "new files without name show up," where did these things show up?
In the main Address Book window there are 3 columns. On the left is the list of groups. In the center is the list of names of all contacts (people or companies) in the selected group. On the right is the information about the selected contact. The information in the right column includes things like names, email addresses, street addresses, a picture of the contact, and so on. In English, Apple calls each contact a "card," because it is like a business card or a card in a rotary office file.
Did these 20 new things show up in this window? If they did, which column did the show up in?
I ask because none of these things would be a "file." When you create a new entry (a new "card"), all of the information is blank at first -- no name, email address, or anything else. You can do this by clicking the "+" button at the bottom of the name list. This may be what you did, but you would have to do it 20 times to create 20 new blank entries (cards).
2. What did you highlight when you "try to delete only this one"?
Was it in the group or name column, or something in the contact information? Is is possible you highlighted more than one thing?
3. How did you try to delete this one?
If not with the "-" button or keyboard, did you drag something to the trash, or use the menu?
I am not sure any of this is important because it does sound like you somehow have lost all your contacts. I ask these things only in the hope that I do not understand what happened.
If your Mac is new or you are still covered by Applecare, it might be best for you to contact Applecare in your country for better help than I can offer you. You may also want to try posting here in your own language. I won't understand you but someone else who does may be able to help you more.
