Missing address book icon in e-mail banner

New to Apple.
Have a mac mini with Lion and need some help. When I created my e-mail account, the address book button does not appear in the e-mail banner at the top with the others (IE attachments and picture buttons). I have to manually enter the e-mail address from memory. It will autopopulate the information once I begin typing, but I know there's a way to have the button you can just "click" and then select recipients from my address book.
Help!

Hi, not exactly clear to me what you're looking for, but try this...
In Mails top gray bar, Right click or Control+click, choose Customize Toolbar, drag Address Book up to where you want it on the Toolbar.

Missing address book icon

My address book icon is missing. I have checked the "show all" and it still doesn't appear. Any suggestions?? Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The Address Book can't be deleted, so it is there. Look in your folders on the homescreen... applications, etc.

Where is Address book Icon in Mail "send" toolbar

Installed Lion. Could not find the "address book" icon in the send toobar. It was in Leopard, however I cannot seem to find it in Lion. Is it no longer available or am I just not looking in the right place?

I did find that Icon however if you are in the main menu for mail it IS there. However if you hit New Message a new window comes up and that tool bar does not have the "man" icon. I have to pull the window down some so I can see the main menu, then click on the "man" to get the address book. I tried to pull the icon into the send window but it would not transfer. Just seems awkward to me or maybe I am missing something.
The Address Book Icon was in the send window on Leopard as I recall.

Address Book Icon is not on my screen? Please Help!

Help? My screen froze for about 4 minutes and then when I took the battery out and started it back up the address book icon is missing? Please help!!! I'm a realtor and this is something I use every day.

HT2486 My address book only displays e-mails. How can I sync it with my i-phone to display the address book the same way as my contacts in my i-phone?

Currently my address book only displays e-mail addresses. It uses the portion of the address in front of the @ as the name. How can I sync it with my i-phone 4S that has name/numbers and addresses of my contacts?

Hello there, Seta.
You are correct that this can be done with iCloud. The following Knowledge Base article provides some great instruction for syncing contacts:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
Particularly:
Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes
You can sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes with other applications on your computer. This allows you to keep all your information in sync across multiple computers and iOS devices. The settings for these items are all in the Info tab for your iOS device in iTunes. With your iOS device connected to the computer, select your iOS device. Then click the Info tab.
For details on syncing content on your iOS device with your computer, click the sections below.
Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Contacts" in OS X v10.8, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" in OS X v10.7 and earlier.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
Address Book (Mac OS X v10.7 and earlier)
Contacts (Mac OS X v10.8)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Transfering Outlook Express Address Book to OS X mail

Hi Folks,
Have finally made the leap from OS 9 to OS X.
That was the easy part.
Now, how to successfully tranfer my 700+items Outlook Express Address Book into OS X mail? I'm about at my wits end. I've thus far managed to transfer the lot of them into Microsoft 'entourage' X. Whew! I still can't figure out how to transfer them into the OS X email program. I need access to those names/email addresses ASAP. It's vital to my work. Help!
Thanks much in advance.
Namaskara,
David M.

I'm a newbie, but I think this may work:
Since Mail uses the addresses stored in Mac's Address Book app, open AB. Go to File/Import and select LDIF as the type of file you wish to import. Locate and click on the OE address book filename in the window that appears. It is most probably located in the Documents folder. Highlight the filename and click Open. The contents of this file will now appear in AB, and will then be accessible from Mail.
Let us know if it works.

I have a "?" on my address book icon.

I have a "?" on my address book icon and it won't open. I am syncing to mobile me. My iPhone and iPad contacts still are there. ideas?

That means that the Address Book application has either been moved, renamed, or deleted from its original location. Drag the icon out of the dock (that won't do anything to the application itself) then go to your Applications folder and find the Address Book app. Once you've found it, just drag the icon back into the dock where you want it.

Applications Icon shows Address Book Icon

I don't know how it happened, but the Applications icon is showing the Address Book icon on my Dock. How do I change this?
Thanks for any help.

Right click or ctrl+click on the Applications stack (icon) in the Dock, select Folder under Display As, and it will no longer display a preview of the contents of the Applictions folder.

G-mail doesn't accept my 5.1.10 version of Safari. Will a newer version allow me to transfer my address book contacts to g-mail?

I recently forwarded my e-mail from my local provider to g-mail. How do I transfer my address book contacts to g-mail contacts. Or how do I use MacMail with a g-mail account?

Add the Gmail account to Mail/Preferences/Accounts. Click the + sign at the bottom left and add it.
Try another browser as a test.
Firefox
If you want to upgrade the OS, the following applies.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

Cant access address book icon

When I click on my address book icon the cursor locks up and never opens the program. Normal function only resumes when I press the red end key.

With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
Try again and let me know?

Disappearing Address Book icon

Hi folks,
the icon for address book has disappeared from the dock, leaving a blank space - hovering over the space shows that the programme is still there and will open when clicked, but no sign of the icon. Have no idea what to do to get it back (and yes, I tried the on/off panacea!). Any suggestions? Am running latest version (updates up to date) Snow Leopard on a 6 month old MacBook Pro.

John,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
One of the first things to try is restarting your computer.
If that is unsuccessful, try refreshing the Dock plist file. Go to your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences folder, find the com.apple.dock.plist, drag it to your desktop, log out/in, or restart and let us know what happens.
Your dock will revert to default settings, and hopefully once again display the Address Book icon.

How can I import address books from Thunderbird to Mail?

I had to use Thunderbird for all my Mail, because I cannot import about 10 different e-mail address lists with a total of about 300
addresses (contacts) into the Mail application nor into the Contacts Application. Every other e-mail application, and every server
supports imports like this.
Apple appears to have no solution either. On Apple Support site for Mail and Contacts, it says "Support temporarily not available"
and said so for weeks. I tried to import into Contacts, using Thunderbird address book files converted to ..Idif format and Contacts
imported them import without any fuzz. The folders appeared in Contacts as sub-folder the same name I had in the export files.
After the import I quit both Mail and Contacts and restarted my MacbookAir, it runs on OS 10.8.5., Mail is version 6.6.
I opened up Mail and the new sub-folders were listed in its Address Book window, However when I clicked ao any of them, they
would not open. I opened the Contacts application, and the folders were still there but when I tried to open the they were empty.
Is there a way to import those addresses, so they will show up?

Thanks for trying to help but .mbox is used for mailboxes, not address lists (Contacts).
I understand that Apple Mail and Contacts use .csv files for their lists, and I was able to
import my first Contact List using that type of File, but then was only table to get the name
the content of one List imported.
Last thing I tried, I used my Webmail Server which can import all address books (Contacts) and
export them across all sorts of different e-mail applications (they list about 10 different types)
and yes, the only missing is Apple Mail.
Looks like I am stuck with having to use Thunderbird, because I Mail will not import my
Contacts.

Difference between Accounts in Address Book and iCal vs Mail, Contacts and Calendars Accounts?

Trying to wrap my head around iCloud's capabilites right now.
In System Prefs, there is the Mail, Contacts and Calendars setting. In there, I can set up syncing with contacts and calendars via a Google account there. However, when I open up iCal (aka calendars) and Address Book (aka contacts), they ALSO have their own seemingly independent syncing options.
I'd ideally like to keep a copy of my contacts and calendars synced through Google and iCloud.
What is the optimal way to do this?
Thanks in advance...

A) Contacts)
1. Open www.icloud.com
2. Open Contacts
3. Mark All Contacts > CMD + A
4. Click on the small icon in the lower left corner
5. Choose Export vCard...
6. Open your "Address Book" on your Mac and choose "File > Import"
B) Calendar)
At the moment there is no option to download/export all the data, but you could share the calendar back to your Mac by opening the www.icloud.com website, then...
2. Open Calendar
3. Click the samll "Share" button behind the name of every calendar and share it with your account.
or
Add your wife's account just temporary on your Mac (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account), then
2. Open "Calendar" on your Mac
3. Wait until it finished synchronizing all the of her events
3. Mark the Calendar by clicking on the name of your wife's calendar
4. Open the menu "File > Export" + safe the file on your desktop
5. Delete your wife's account again in Settings
6. Open the calendar again
7. Open the menu "File > Import" + choose the file from your desktop
8. Choose your preferred calendar
