MacBook will not reboot after problem with Address Book

I was using AB today.... I tried to go into preferences and it quit on me. The option came up for me to send a message to Apple but that disappeared too. I relaunched AB again - same thing. The next time I tried to go into preferences the application would not respond - force quitting would not work. I had to shut machine off and now it will not reboot at all.... Any suggestions?

I am having a problem with getting the data on want on the address label and only that data.
ie. I just want the name of the husband and wife along with their last name and mailing address.
IF I have the spouse listed in the contact, and children listed in the contact I get an odd label printed.
ie. instead of John and Mary Smith 1234 Hope Street Seattle, WA 98101 what ends up printing is:
John and Mary Smith, Mary, Bill, Susan, Tom 1234 Hope Street SEattle, WA 98101.
All those extra names makes the label font print smaller for those kinds of contacts. Is there a way to only put the information on the address label that I want?

RV082 does not reboot after problems with ProtectLink

Following a problem with the renewals of protectlink licences on the router, I have tried to carry out a hardware reset. Unfortunately, when trying to log into the router I get a firmware upgrade window. I have also tried to upload the firmware but neither uploading the 1.x nor the 2.x version will allow the router to reboot. Can anybody help with this?

Hi Pierre,
I sent you a series of steps to try via email..But the safest thing to do here is contact your local Small Business Support Center for assistance.

Macbook will not reboot

Macbook will not reboot, I have tried recomendations from forums, I am conected to an Imac via firewire cable to see if I can reboot from the Imac optical drive with the install disk, Nothimg seems to work, I keep getting the beach ball.

You need to be more specific than "I have tried recommendations from forums".
First, which MacBook do you have running what operating system?
What happens when you try a normal boot? Do you hear anything? See any video?
What happens when you try a safe boot, by holding the shift key down when you boot?
What happens when you boot to your OS X DVD in your system, by holding the C key down when you boot? If you're able to do this, what happens when you run Disk Utility on your hard drive?
Are you able to run the Apple hardware test?
Since you have a firewire connection to an iMac, when you go into target disk mode (boot holding T key down) do you see anything on the MacBook screen? Can you see the MacBook's hard drive on the iMac?

3 Problems with Address Book-- now considering Bento

I have 3 problems with Apple Address Book that make it close to unusable for me, so I'm considering buying Bento 3:
1. *Can't un-do accidentally deleted text*- When you click in the "Notes" section, it will select all the text there by default (instead of merely inserting the cursor). If you are not paying attention, and hit any other key when it is selected, it deletes everything in there. UN-DO will not un-do this. I've verified and reported this issue to Apple, but it has still never been fixed or formally addressed (aside from many complaints in the Apple forums).
2. *Search doesn't always work*- Yesterday I searched for one of my entries, Harbor Freight, by typing in the search "harbor". Nothing came up. I thought that maybe I never actually added this business and started with a new one. After I created the new one, I noticed that now, along with the new entry, the old contact suddenly showed up in the left column.
3. *Cards disappear*- Many complaints on the web about this. I do not do any syncing with MobileMe or any device. Occasionally, cards just seem to vanish. Sometimes the card is actually still there, but changes in the Notes field or other fields I made on a previous day were evidently not saved and gone. Very frustrating.
Here's my concern with using Filemaker Pro's Bento: if it's using and accessing the same database as Address Book, all these problems might end up also existing in Bento. I use Address Book for business and personal and heavily rely on the Notes section. I can't keep wasting my time with this.
I don't mind paying the $50 for Bento if it resolves these issues, but the shared database worries me. I guess that I could create an independent Bento database that is completely separate from Address Book, but then I don't know how well it would integrate with Apple Mail.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Dave

DON'T DO IT. DO NOT INSTALL BENTO. I bought & installed it on 01/20/10 and it destroyed my address book. Gone forever. If you are having problems with Address Book now, wait until you see the damage created by Bento! Bento does not replace Address Book. It is a 'supplement' (at best) and uses and updates every file in your Address Book without you even knowing it! Well, you notice it when your database is destroyed and you find all of your contacts under 'No Name'. I am so serious. Bento is just a shell. None of your addresses are actually stored in Bento. They remain in Address Book. Every time you open Bento, it accesses your address book database, and starts re-formatting and re-working every entry along with any 'changes' you make. And who do you call for help? Apple says 'not our program'. Filemaker says 'we don't know anything about Mac's'.....I lost four years of addresses for all of my customers. Gone. In seconds! Just don't do it. Don't install Bento. And be sure to remove any 'smart groups' you have created as it seems to be at the root of most problems one encounters with address book.

Problem with Address Book and Exchange

Hello,
I have a little problem with Address Book and Microsoft Exchange 2003. I am able to connect to Outlook Web Access via Safari without problem. I see my contacts. Unfortunately when I setup everything needed in Address Book preferences (Synchronize with Exchange) the contacts didn't show in my Address Book. Strange thing is that no error is generated. can someone please help me what I am doing wrong ? Thanks in advance.

My suggestion is that you consider using Microsoft Entourage. For Exchange users on a Mac, Entourage is by far the best option. The down side is, you need to buy Microsoft Office 2004 to get Entourage, but your employer might own a site license, in which case, Office 2004 might not cost you anything.

How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2

How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2

Do you have any addresses in the Lion version?
If not, copy the AddressBook folder from your username/Library/Application Support/ folder on the old mac (or backup).
Copy it to the same location on your new Mac, replacing the one that is there. Start Address Book in Mountain Lion and it should convert the files to the correct format.
If you do have addresses, it is a little more complicated.
First, create a Contacts Archive (from File>Export menu). This will be your backup.
Next, export the current contacts as vCards.
Then, follow the steps above.
Then, import all the cards you exported. If you select all and double-click, it will ask if you want to add them. You'll then have to add them to whatever groups you had set up.

My macbook will not reboot?

I had to force shut down my macbook and now it will not reboot. After the login window I get a grey screen with the spinning gear and nothing else happens. I have tried to start in safe-mode to no avail. I restarted with Command R and have tried Disk repair, restore to a previous version and reload OSX, nothing has work. The only thing I can do is get to the Safari window to use the internet. Please help before I purchase another computer. Computer skills and patience at a very low level. Thanks.

Is your MacBook older, say pre-mid-2011 or newer? Or put another way, did it come with OS X 10.7 Lion or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion?
When you boot to the recovery partition, and bring up Disk Utility, when you clicked the first aid tab and Repair Disk, did you do that on the volume and/or the partition? The volume would be the left-most entry, with the partition indented below that. You can repair both. Did you try repairing both?
It's too early to say that the hard drive has unrecoverable issues. Typically, when there are hard drive issues that Disk Utility can't repair, the next step is Disk Warrior (assuming there's not an obvious hardware issue). Some use TechTool Pro, but Disk Warrior has been the greater tool of choice for disk repairs.
If you can, it would be good to run the Apple Hardware Test. If your MacBook came with OS X 10.6 or prior, you have the original OS X disk to run the hardware test (the disk that says in small print on the label 'AHT Version x.x' is the one to use). If your MacBook came with Lion/Mtn Lion, you didn't get any DVD's, and should follow the steps in the Apple note. If you're able to run this, it will help determine whether there is a hardware issue with the hard drive. If not, then Disk Warrior can likely fix the drive. The hardware test can take over an hour, depending on how much memory you have installed.

MacBook Pro not rebooting after security update

Hi after installing the latest security update my MacBook Pro (2yrs old) will not reboot. I have turned the mac on and off at least 10 times. I haven't been back up my latest documents. Sigh. Please help me . I'm also using the latest mavericks version.

Try this ..
Startup your Mac while holding down the Option key. That should propmt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk, v10.9, then click Restart.

Mac Pro will not reboot after Bootcamp attempted installation

I have an older quad-core 2009 Mac Pro. I tried to install Bootcamp before realizing that it's not supported. Now the Mac Pro will not reboot.
It starts up fine. It shuts down fine. But it just will not reboot. When I try to reboot, it just clicks like it's trying to boot to a DVD or a drive that's not there (I have since formatted the drive I was using for Bootcamp and use it for Time Machine now).
This is what I have tried:
- PRAM reset
- SMC reset
What could be keeping my Mac Pro from rebooting properly?? Please help. Thank you!!

So you tried with Mac and Windows on same drive?
And you have Recovery partition.
You made a clone with CCC as well and cloned the Recovery
Paragon makes a couple programs to make life easier.
And, Well, Boot Camp works. There are unwritten rules. There is a forum devoted to it.
2009 is not old. Old is pre-2008 due to UEFI / EFI64 and how Windows 64-bit now looks during install.
It did install but the drivers and updates and such might be an issue.
Apple does not support HFS arrays, not just that Windows won't install but to mount, their Apple HFS driver.
You left out so much and maybe your IT didn't include Windows on Mac.
www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
In general pull all your drives during install except that one Windows will be installed on.
Do get video driver from ATI etc yourself
Tell us what version, I assume Windows 8 which works fine other than a few issues - more with MacBook series and iMac or Mac Mini lines.
