My address book app is missing

I put my iphone in my pocket and I must have hit something because my app in the dock is gone.  All of my contacts are still in the phone when I search for them, but the physical app is gone.  Any suggestions on how to restore it to the dock?

It can't be deleted from the phone so you're just going to have to look on all the screens for it. You don't really need it though, as you can access everything through the Phone app.
By default, the Contacts app is in the Utilites folder.

  • Address book app is missing; how to install?

    Hi,
    After deinstalling the Office 2004 Test Drive software, my addressbook app is missing!
    I looked in the apps folder, but its gone. Also i can't find it in the trash....
    Now I want to install just the address book app again. How do I do this?
    I could not find anything on the apple site or on other apple related sites.
    Any help would be welcome !
    Best regards,

    You can use an application called Pacifist to grab it from the original install media.

  • Fastest way to re-install address book app

    My address book app is missing. The dash board still can reference my address book- and I have it on my .mac account- so all is not lost.
    What is the fastest way to download the address book app back into my application folder?
    Thanks,
    Karen

    Try using Pacifist to extract it from your computer's original disks; you may then want to rerun the Mac OS X 10.47 combo updater to ensure you have the current version of it.

  • Address Book app missing after ML upgrade

    Hi - After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I no longer have the Address Book app in my Applications folder.
    It exists on the backup clone I made just before I upgraded. But that version won't run under Mountain Lion.
    2 Questions:
    1) What happened?
    2) How do I restore Address Book? Reinstall ML?
    Thanks....

    Doh. I had set up a hot key to call up Address Book.
    When it failed, I looked in the Applications Folder. No Address Book!
    I wish all my computer issues were this easy to fix...thank you.

  • TS1702 I LOST CONTENT WITHIN AN ADDRESS BOOK APP, THE APP WAS REGULARLY BACKED UP, I REMOVED THE APP FRONM MY IPHONE AND SYNCED IT BACK IN .THE APP SYNCED OK BUT THE CONTENT IS STILL MISSING

    I LOST CONTENT WITHIN AN ADDRESS BOOK APP, THE APP WAS REGULARLY BACKED UP, I REMOVED THE APP FROM MY IPHONE AND SYNCED IT BACK IN .THE APP SYNCED OK BUT THE CONTENT IS STILL MISSING

    That's because app content is stored in the iPhone backup, not the app. What you should have done, is first restore from backup, then sync your iTunes content...the app in question...back to your phone. That would have restored the app data. However, if you've synced, since restoring the app to your phone, the app data is gone.

  • Address book data but missing Address Book application

    This is strange but after upgrading to Snow Leopard, I seem to be missing my Address Book application. I can see my address book data but I cannot launch the Address Book application.
    I have my contacts synced with Mobile Me & I'm not sure where the app went. I can still sync but just can't open up the Address Book app (obviously)
    I am not sure how to get my Address Book app back....any suggestions?

    you don't need Pacifists for this one. insert the snow leopard DVD, open it in finder and double-click on optional installs->optional installs.mpkg. follow the instructions and choose to install Address Book. then reinstall 10.6.2 combo update to bring AB to its current version.

    Not sure why you posted the same message twice but I answered in your other thread.

  • What are the correct privileges for Wheel in address book.app 5.0.3?

    I think I messed with the privileges for Wheel in Address Book.app 5.0.3. Can anyone tell me if it should be set to Read only or to Read & Write?
    Scared to close the info window until I have sorted this out!

  • Address Book app disappeared; how can I reinstall it?

    Out of the blue, my Address Book app disappeared. The icon in the Dock has a question mark on it, and the application itself is no longer in my Applications folder, or anywhere on the drive. Even stranger, it's not in any of my Time Machine backups, even though it was working and present until yesterday.
    Mind you, I'm not talking about the data. it's that the app itself is gone. Interestingly, my email still seems to act as if the Address Book contact information is still present. But if I select an address in an email "from" field, for example, and say "Open in Address Book," nothing happens.
    Now here's an even weirder part. I also have a recent backup of my Apple Mail and Address Book using Email Backup Pro. After seeing that the Address Book app seems to have also disappeared from my Time Machine backups, I opened Email backup Pro and did a restore of my Address Book. The program reported that the Address Book was successfully restored, but nothing changed -- the Address Book app was still nowhere to be found. I've done this twice.
    I also have my Address Book data on my iPod Touch (thankfully). Synching does nothing -- nothing changes on the iPod or on the hard disk, in terms of Address Book.
    I'm baffled. Although I'd like to know what caused this, my more immediate concern is to get a functioning Address Book installed again. I booted from the Snow Leopard disc, but could see no option to install just the Address Book.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks, John.

  • Yahoo! Mail glitches with Lion mail client and Address Book app

    I had really been looking forward to using my Yahoo! mail account in the Lion mail client but now that it is here and I have set it up and used it for a few days I am noticing the following issues:
    New mail is not always received or is received late. Yahoo! Webmail portal shows new items but these sometimes do not appear in Lion mail client even after a manual 'get mail' check.
    Mail marked as read in Yahoo! Webmail portal or in mail clients in iOS devices such as iPhone or iPad is not marked as read in Lion mail client, however the reverse does work (i.e. mail marked as read in Lion mail client does mark the message as read in webmail and in clients on iOS devices).
    Yahoo! Aliases are not supported. Yes, you can add aliases by inserting the other email addresses in the 'Email Address' field of the account settings, but you cannot add more than one display name.
    I have also found that if you turn on Yahoo! contacts via the tick-box in the new 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars' pref pane in System Preferences that I end up with random duplicated contacts. These duplicates are not seen on iOS devices, just in the Address Book app. If you delete a duplicate contact, it deletes the contact altogether. However, I have found that if you keep contacts unticked in the pref pane and add your Yahoo! account the old-fashioned way (i.e. via the Address Book app's own preferences) then the contacts sync through perfectly with no duplications.
    I would be interested to know if anybody else is experiencing these issues. It may be worth noting that mine is not a @yahoo.com address but @xtra.co.nz which belongs to my ISP here in New Zealand, but the mail is managed by Yahoo!. The account works perfectly as a Yahoo! account on iOS devices and does appear to be working in Lion, except for these small glitches but I don't imagine these are specific to @xtra.co.nz addresses.
    Thanks
    Steve

    i've had the same experience here.
    essentially it seems like lion mail.app just takes an incredibly long time to pickup new changes from the IMAP server at yahoo.
    ios and webmail are obviously much quicker.
    if it is working on ios, why does is it so delayed in mail?
    any solutions out there?

  • Why is the Address Book app slow to update my contacts?

    When I try to import my Google contacts into my Mac Address Book via vCard (.vcf) format, Address Book app takes an eternity to finish updating (like a half hour or more), during which I cannot do anything else in the Address Book.
    The last time I tried to do so, yesterday, my entire system became extremely slow and I had to restart the computer. BTW, I use Mac OS X v. 10.7.5 (Lion).
    I also notice that searching for contacts within the Address Book is an extremely slow process. I begin to type a name and the program is very sluggish to respond or display anything, forcing me to type very slowly.
    What can I do to resolve these issues so I can update and search for my contacts in the Address Book within reasonable amounts of time?

    you have a 4G iPod. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • "...cannot use the application "Address Book.app" with  'leopard.'...????

    I get the message: "You cannot use the application “Address Book.app” with this version of Mac OS X. "What does this mean, wat do I do? Do I lose my address book.?

    you can do the following to transfer your Tiger addressbookdata file to Leopard if none of your other countermeasures are working.
    Create a new folder and give it a name such as TigertoLeopard data or whatever;
    then drag your Tiger addressbook data file into that folder;
    add .abbu to the end of the name you gave that new folder;
    remember where you placed the folder and use Leopard Mail import command.

  • I have lost Address book app how do I recover it please. Thank you.

    I have lost Address book app how do I recover it please. Thank you.

    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

  • 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.

  • Contact syncing and Groups in MacOS address book app

    I have my iPhone set to only sync certain groups from my Address Book to the phone, not "all". When I add a new contact via the iPhone there's no way to designate which group it goes into so every now and then I have to do into the Address Book app and try to figure out which ones aren't in the correct group and fix them.
    Is there any way I can assign contact groups via the iPhone?
    thanks,
