Mac address book & (Address book software-not MAc)

I am new to MAC and downloaded a software program called Address office. The program is basically a name and address file; it is in addition to the address book in mac.
The address book in mac came with 1 address and that is apple.com. The problem I have been having is that the "apple.com" duplicates itself in the MAC address book by itself. It multiplies by itself or if you have address book open and click on the desktop, the address will duplicate. There are sometimes 50 entries of apple.com. The mac genius bar thinks it is because of the other address book that I downloaded. They replaced my MAC because they could not fix the problem and the new one appeared to work fine until. I copied the "address office" software to a cd, I inserted the CD into the Mac and was going to print all of the address so I would have them; I did not install the software on the hard drive. Right after doing this, the MAC address book started to have the same problem...apple.com suddenly appeared and started to duplicate itself so I am back to sqare one. Any help or direction as to what should be done is much appreciated
Thanks

Good luck with them. It really sounds like a "Doctor, it hurts when I do this…" problem for you. That program seems awfully old given that it was originally written to support 10.0 to 10.2 and release in 2003. Lots of stuff with address book changed dramatically since then.

  • Mac Book Software Update not working, iTune will not update because of that, iPhone 4 won't connect to iTunes because iTunes is not updated. Mac v.10.5.8, iTunes v.10.5.2, iPhone4 iOS 6

    Mac Book Software Update not working (Software Update does not have any new software for your computer at this time), my current MacBook version is 10.5.8.
    As a result I can't update iTunes, version 10.5.2  (This software requiers Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later)
    Now when I connect my iPhone 4, version iOS 6 iTunes can't connect to iPhone (The iPhone "XXXXX's iPhone" cannot be used because it requiers iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.)
    so in a nutshell can't use iphone 4, because iTune is not updated and will not  update because Mac Book is not up to date and will not update either.
    Please help.
    Thank you

  • Address Book 2011 Not syncing with iCloud

    Just recently my Address Book stopped syncing with iCloud and I can't figure out why.  I have tried logging out and back in to the software and iCloud and signed out of Apple in system preferences.  The Address Book software on my iMac 2011 has been a little buggy, in that it keeps showing double entries that are not picked up with "find duplicates."  Those duplicates don't show up in iCloud, my iPhone6, my iPad mini (original mini with out ios 8 upgrade) and my macbook pro.  I am still running Lion on the iMac.  I can't see a way to upgrade or reinstall just the Address Book.  I guess the only way to get a new version is to upgrade to Yosemite.  I just don't want to do that right now, but I would like my other devices to have my updated Address Book entries from the Address book on the iMac.
    Also, when I look at ICloud settings it shows the iPhone6 and Macbook Pro (with Yosemite), but not the iPad or the iMac. I have turned on iCloud on the iPad and I am signed in to iCloud on the iMac through System Preferences.
    Any thoughts?

  • Just upgraded my OS10.4 to snow lepard  and now itunes will not open. I hope to further upgrade to Lion. Ps my address book will not open either!

    operate or open, also my address book will not open. Am hoping to upgraded further to lion asap.

    Office 2011 will install in a separate folder. But do not install Office 2011 until you remove Office 2004. It comes with its own uninstalled located in the MS Office folder. Only use the uninstaller to get rid of it. Then install Office 2011.
    Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
    If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Address Book Groups not showing up in iTunes

    The groups that I have set up in Address Book are not showing up in the Info tab in iTunes when attempting to sync my iPhone. The iCal calendars show and sync with no problems. I have tried resetting sync history, logging off of my .Mac account and logging back in.
    Any advise? Thanks.

    Don't take what I have to say as fact, because I don't use a Mac and could be mistaken. I remember reading last night something about people taking and checking the box on the Summary page of iTunes to replace the info on the iPhone with the computer. Once that was done, it seemed to correct this issue and showed the address groups after that.
    It might be worth the experiment, however I would make sure I had a backup of the phone before I tried it. I know it was only the last day or show that I read it, so if you want to search the forum before you try it, be my guest. I don't want to ruin anything for you, but I just remember reading that someone did that and it fixed it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Address Book Will Not Open in 10.2.8

    I just received an older PowerPC G4 with 10.2.8 at work and while making changes to some stuff I noticed that Address Book would not open. It pops up like it's opening in the dock and then quits and disappears.
    I've read around and it seems that when most people are having the Helvetica font problem. I checked that and everything is cool there, I've even moved all the plist stuff to the desktop to no avail. I have no idea what could be wrong.
    The console gives me this when I try to run Address Book...
    dyld: /Applications/Address Book.app/Contents/MacOS/Address Book can't open library: /System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/SyncServices (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
    ...but I can't find anything online. Anybody able to help me out with this problem?
    PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    Somehow you've retained an old version of Addressbook (version 5.0.3).  The current version is 6.1
    Look in the apps folder to see if you have the current version, the dock icon may be pointing to the old version.

  • ICloud address book is not working on my laptop

    I noticed that address book does not have any cards when I select "Groups". It is working fine on my phone, iPad, and iCloud but not on my laptop. I noticed that on my Macbook Pro all the group are listed as "On my Mac" as opposed to iCloud. Is this a clue to solving the problem? Thanks for your help.
    John

    As an update, I noticed that my MacBook Pro Address Book says, "On my Mac" when I look at Groups. Is there a way to have it show what's on iCloud? Thanks for your help.

  • Search on the address book do not responds

    Hi! I´m a begginer and I have an issue with my address book. After add a couple of birthdays (which are synchronized with iCal), search on the address book do not responds.
    Anyone Knows anything about that?
    Thanks!

    I found the solution. The answer is just unmark "sync contacts with icloud" on system pref, select "delete contacts from your mac". And then turn on "sync contacts with icloud". Thas All.
    PD: don´t forget to check all your contacts back up on icloud.com

  • My address book will not synch with iCloud or iPhone 4

    Since upgrading to lion, my address book will not synch with icloud or my iphone 4.  Any idea what I should do?

    I can't figure out what's going on.  Been working on this all day.  Yes, all the preferences are checked off and I've triple checked everything.  The truth is, after many experiments, I think the problem has to do with how address book is communicating with my contact list.  I use quickbooks 2012 for mac.  It has all of my customers and vendors synched with my address book on my mac.  If I add a customer in quickbooks it shows up in address book on my mac.  But it doesn't show up in Icloud or on my Iphone.  If I manually add a customer to my Iphone it synchs fine with Icloud and my address book.  It seems that the only time devices can't communicate is when I add a contact in quickbooks.  No matter what I do, I can't get the new contact from quickbooks to icloud or my iphone.  It looks like those programs/devices completely ignore the new contact in address book that was created in quickbooks.  I realize you probably can't help me here but if you have any ideas let me know.

  • Address Book Accounts not showing sync options

    Address Book > Accounts not showing sync options. - just a blank panel to right of "On My Mac". Cause could possibly be that I imported current contact list from vcf export of AB. Anyone any toughts on how can I retrieve the syncing options?

  • Address book will not sync with outlook

    I have a bb curve 8530. My desktop PC runs windows 7 and Outlook. The address book will not sync with outlook. The calendar function, however, will sync with outlook. The error messages are:
    "Runtime error: unable to locate application in system table. The product may not be installed properly; run the installer and choose repair."
    Or, "Intellisyncy error encountered 0x8004fff."
    or, "unable to complete synchronization."
    I have pulled out the battery of the 8530 to try a hard reset. I have reloaded on my PC the latest software from the BB website. I have reset and configured synchronization settings multiple times in every possible order. I have deleted from my outlook contacts any large files. I do not know what the installer the error message refers to.
    Thanks, David

    you cant reset your PIN, it is hardcoded into the BB
    where is your PIN missing?
    when it syncs the calendar, does it look like it syncs but nothing actually happens, no errors?
    or does it crash with an error?
    on your BB go to options- advanced options- default services
    make sure facebook is not set for CICAL

  • I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm mic and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lecture to my mac book pro.  The mac book does not have 3.5mm  jacks.  Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

    I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm microphone and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lectures to my mac book pro.  The mac book does not have 3.5mm  jacks.  Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

    Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
    traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
    Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
    external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
    Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
    ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
    wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
    Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
    be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
    most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
    is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
    Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
    electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
    Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
    remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
    Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
    & mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
    Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
    at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
    PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
    or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?
