My address book is no longer synching between my devices after I updated my Apple ID password

I recently updated my Apple ID password and then changed it to the updated password on my phone and iPad. Now I only see contacts on the specific device where I created them. On my other devices, the newly created contact simply shows up as a phone number. I've tried hard reseting the devices and ensured everything is doing "iCloud sharing" of contacts. I will be happy to give you a sautéed onion if you can fix this for me.

What do you see if you log into iCloud? Is all the new contact information there?

One of my 2 address books can no longer be viewed, how do I access it?

''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1051908 /questions/1051908]''
one of my 2 address books can no longer be viewed, how do I access it? It disappeared within the last few days. I can still find addresses that are in the 2nd address book, but I cannot view it, so only 1/8 of my addresses are now viewable. How do I access the 2nd address book?

Hi ronc2, there isn't a specific setting for this. Firefox's built-in JavaScript settings allow you to control several aspects of scripts*, but unfortunately not this one.
I previously tried to find some other options for individually turning off this event, but I couldn't find a way. Someone might be able to create an add-on to solve this problem, but it will take someone cleverer than I.
Extensions that disable scripts on a site-specific basis:
* If you regularly visit some sites which do this, you can block JavaScript on that specific site using the YesScript extension. Unfortunately, other script-based functionality will be blocked as well.
* YesScript does not preemptively block scripts on every site. If you have to visit a lot of random sites and want to take a paranoid approach of having scripting blocked until you see as much of the site as you can see without running scripts, then the NoScript extension would be for you. But even then it's "all or nothing".
''* These include: JavaScript enabled yes/no, override right-click menu yes/no, change order of windows yes/no, move and resize windows yes/no, close windows yes/no, specific features of pop-up windows, change images yes/no, detect copy/cut/paste and modify selection yes/no.''

HT2486 Address book will no longer sort when typing name

Address book will no longer sort names when you begin to type

Have you tried resetting your sort option in Address Book / Preferences? Change it from whatever you have it (e.g. First Name) to the other choice. Then try to Search a contact. If it works, then go back in and reset it to what you had it before.

My iPod nano 5th generation is not recognized by iTunes. I did update, but still, it won't work. I don't want to uninstall the iTunes cos I don't want to lose my music and audio books. What to do? It started after I updated iTunes.

Snow Leopard Mail Address Book does no longer sort names

Hi,
I noticed that, after I installed Snow Leopard, the address book I access in Mail does no longer show entries sorted by last names although I set the the address book I access from the dock to do so and it works fine. I thought they're one and the same. How come there is this discrepancy and is there a way to resolve the issue?
Best
Frank

Frank,
The Address Book application opened from the Dock responds to its preference setting for this sort. Quit Mail, and then confirm the sort you want to see in the AB application -- you can choose not only Last Name sort, but whether Last Name appears before First Name, as I am sure you know.
Now relaunch Mail, and when you access from Mail it should now have the same sort you selected in the AB app. Mail is apparently picking up the preference setting in the AB app at the time it launches, and does not change that until you have quit Mail, and then next relaunch it.

How can I get Address Book Server to share contacts between users?

I want to have a Shared Address Book for the users on my installation of OS X Lion Server. Users will keep their own contacts individually but there are certain lists and contacts who need to be shared between users and I can't find any way of getting Lion Server to do this. I know it was a problem in Snow Leopard Server but I hoped it had been fixed.
Any suggestions?

Create a new user on the Server called 'ouraddressbook' or whatever. Exit the Server. Into Address Book on your Admin/Client machine create a new Account. Account type is CardDAV, Username and Password the same as the User you created on the Server… 'ouraddressbook' or whatever, and then enter your Server's address as text or numbers. Click creat and the rest is straight forward. Now give the set up details of that new Account to the others who want to share your 'ouraddressbook' with you.The Clients must have, I think, Mac OS 10.6 or upwards to have an Address Book that with co-operate.
You will see a new group in Address Book.
If you don't already know, do not add accounts to Address Book or iCal on the Server. Everything is Admin and Client Side. In the beginning I was also adding accounts to iCal and Address on the Server. It works fine but it is just one extra thing that could become corrupted. Let the Server 'serve' the Users you create on it.
Hit me if you have problems.

Address book "List" no longer sends .. have screenshot to show error

I have been using "Lists" in my address book to send multiple emails. There must have been an update recently since I can no longer get the lists to work (any of them) and I get an error I have never seen before, nor understand what I can change to use my lists.
PS I don't see a place to attach the screenshot of the error, but it says Invalid Recipient Address. I am using version 31.1.0

The quick fix is to go back to v24.6. Otherwise browse through the other threads and see what has been posted. One that I remember is to remove any spaces in the name of your lists.
I have not upgraded to v31 yet. I never upgrade to new major versions until the bugs are worked out.

When I click on address book I no longer get the slot for inserting a name, instead a long list of names/addresses

I've been sending new emails (not replies) this way: Click on address book. Up comes space to insert a name. I do so, find the name (among a few close to it), highlight it and then click "write." This produces an addressed email, which I proceed to write and send. But as of a day ago, when I click on the address book, what appears is a long list of names and email addresses. It fills most of the iMac screen. And there's no space to insert a name.
Presumably I did something stupid to make that happen. What have I done? And how do I reverse it?
Thank you.
Arthur

This doesn't answer your question about what's gone wrong.
I think the Address Book is a rather lame place to start from.
Click on Write, or Reply or Forward and the messages writing window appears. prefilled with the previous message text if it's a reply or forward.
If you select the To: box and start typing, it will suggest names from the address book matching what you typed.
If you really prefer to pick from a list, you can open a Contacts Sidebar which lists one of your address books. There are buttons to add selected Contacts to your message. You can drag and drop and use right click too. On a PC, F9 opens this sidebar, or you can use alt+v to get the View menu and then choose the Contacts Sidebar from the sub-menu. I'm not sure how much of this works on the Mac.
So it's easy to add multiple addresses. You can set them as Cc or Bcc.
Your method lets you address a new message, but doesn't support reply or forwarding. It enters all addressees as To: and you have to change them one by one if that's not appropriate.
You see why I think the Address Book is bad place to start from?
If this other approach doesn't work then I'd suggest you have a corrupted Address Book. Do you have a recent backup to restore from?

Address Book application no longer launches

I broke my laptop a few weeks ago and had the data manually retrieved and put on a hard drive. I bought a new macbook pro earlier and I was manually transferring the application files when i think i accidentally overwrote the address book application. Note my old computer was using tiger - so every time I try to launch address book it says something like this address book doesnt work with this version of Mac OS X. So I deleted Address Book from application and ran the 10.5.3 update. Address Book is back, but now has no logo (it looks like the application logo) and doesn't do anything when I click on it.
How do I get my address book back!?

An update won't replace the whole program. You either need to get it from the instal DVD or copy from a Leopard version, then run update, again.
Pacivist will allow you to pull individual programs off the install DVD.

Address Book won't stop synching with .mac

Address Book keeps Syncing with .mac even though I don't want it to and I did not extend the free .Mac trial.
I turned off "Synchronize my contacts with other computers using .Mac" in the Address Book preferences.
I can not however turn off "Synchronize with .Mac" in the .Mac preferences (it is dimmed) and even though it says "Manual" the Address books continues to sync and leaves me with an empty address book every day!!!!!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Thanks for a quick response. I don't see a way to print the address and phone number on a mailing label either. Some people still like their paper address books and I thought printing labels would make it a lot easier to read and I could just print labels for Christmas cards - instead of handwriting them. nice thought, I guess.
(note to apple: please fix in your next update)

My address book contacts keep disappearing and I haven't upgraded only updated. Any ideas?

My address book contacts disappear from the address book application, but when I check the library the files seem to be there. If I click on one of the files that should contain contact info, they are blank. I've restored the files twice from my time capsule and it works for awhile and then suddenly they seem to be missing again. I haven't upgraded to OS X, so the online support on address book does not help. I've only been maintaining the automatic updates. Any thoughts on my magically disappearing contacts? It makes synching my ipod a dangerous act.

ymcneil - thanks for the work around. But isn't it amazing Apple forces us to do this to maintain our privacy.
I live in Australia where there are good privacy laws protecting citizens. I do not want to be forced to use iCloud when the data sits in the USA with weaker privacy laws and also able to be seen by the US Government under the Patriot Act. Further I suspect Apple will interrogate my contacts and calendar for commercial purposes and I do not want that either.
I chose to synch my calendar and contacts with my iphone and ipad. I have relied for years on carrying around my phone with my diary on it. I can no longer do that.
Whoever made this decision at Apple has to be someone who knows little about the world. I can actually see EU regulators getting very annoyed by this.
I too woud like the itunes mac to iphone/ipad local backup given back.
In the meantime - thanks for the work around

HT1414 I recently cancelled mobil me, then I lost all my contacts...no problem I retrieved them from my address book on my mac pro. NOW I can't update my apps when asked. My password is not accepted. The print says to use my mobileme account... Yikes

Please help me figure out why I can't update my apps or get new ones...Thanks. I recently cancelled my mobile me account and a lot of strange and frustrating changes have taken place

I thought I finally found the answer in post https://discussions.apple.com/message/10843915#10843915
I deviated from the instructions by manually deleting all my contacts while in Mobile Me before trying the forced update because it hadn't worked in the past to force transfer the addresses. I thought starting with a clean slate might be a step ahead. Now that clean slate seems permanent.
The gutsy move was to make Mobile Me download the empty address book into my MacPro. My address book went empty until I restored it through the archive I'd saved. It proved the computer and Mobile Me are communicating since it wiped out my address book on my desktop. I restored everything by importing the archive back into the address book. Thankfully that part is fine.
What is not working is for me to get ANY addresses to move back to Mobile Me despite repeated attempts at changing the reset action through the advanced selection of Mobile Me in System Preferences. I've unselected syncing and restarted the computer. I've signed out of MM and signed back in. I've closed the browser and opened it fresh again. I've closed and opened Address Book on the computer. None of those actions make a whit of difference. Mobile Me contacts remains empty when I tell it to replace MM with the contents of my AB on my MacPro.
I see under the gear there is an ability to import vCards. Is there any way to do a batch import? I have almost 700 addresses separated into more than a dozen groups. It will be a mighty tedious process to import them one by one.
No, iCloud is not an option. My computer is one version too old to upgrade to Lion.

Apple store wiped HD and reinstalled Software. Need address book from corrupted files on Time Machine. How to get?, Apple store wiped HD and reinstalled Software. Need address book from corrupted files on Time Machine. How to get?

Had corrupted (?) files and Genius Bar wiped HD and reinstalled all software. Need my address book from Time Machine, but cannot allow whole time machine to get to my HD as the corrupted files are on it also.
They wiped HD 2 days ago and I came home and plugged in TM and immediately had corruption again, so had to return to Store for a 2nd erasure. Now can't locate my Address book on TM.
