HELP! Address Book database all lost, says "corrupted", won't open.

HELP!
Recently installed Tiger 10.4.3 combo update. Or --- did that FBI virus get me? The same day as update I noticed a bunch of spam in my dotmac email (it's forwarded to Yahoo account). One spam was that FBI scam. As soon as I uploaded the spam attachment to forward to the real FBI site complaint address, my entire address book was wiped out. All files. Now it won't open, even for me to attempt to merge or Sync or to import my backup AB files. Error message comes up after about 2 seconds and it says "COULDN'T OPEN THE ADDRESS BOOK DATABASE. The database is corrupted" with a 'quit' button.
Can I uninstall AB somehow? If so, how? Can I reinstall a fresh version, too?
HELP!

"iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices."

How do you bcc groups from the address book in MAC OS X?

I am tryign to do a group email from the address book in MAC OS X, everytime I highlight and drag the contacts to my email they don't attached. The only way it appears to work is when I email group but this goes into the TO field.
Any ideas in what I can do?

Mea culpa. Yes, the Cc/Bcc disclosure button IS to the left. I mis-typed that. (stupid keyboard!)
I'm at a loss as to why this is not working for you.
I will tell you the versions of the players involoved that I am using are:
• OS X 10.8.1
• Mail 6.0
• Contacts (Address Book) 7.0
And while I realize that you are running OS X 10.7.4, the process has been similar for some time now.
I would run Software Update and make sure that my System, Mail and Address Book apps are all up to date. That is NOT to say you should upgrade to Mt. Lion, just ensure that there are no outstanding updates available for your current setup.
Then run Disk Utility and perform the Repair Permissions routine on your startup disk. When that process is finished, reboot your machine and run the Mail app again.
It would be nice if it's just a permissions issue or can be fixed with a software update. Let us know if any of this helps.

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX? I'm having SO much trouble with this! Any help would be appreciated!!!

In a finder window, under 'shared' you should be able to see the windows computer name, click on it and connect to it. I am assuming here you have sharing turned on and permissions granted on the windows computer.
Will add a note though, I have frequently accessed files from a PC on the LAN using XP, not vista.

Click the Export Now button for vCard Single File, then when it downloads double click it to import into AddressBook.

Importing an old address book from mac LC111 into my mac os x 10.5.8

I have an old hard drive on my desktop-LC111-claris works-appleworks. In this is my very precious address book. I have not been able to open this book since buying the new mac a few months ago.
"You cannot open this application as the Classic environment is no longer supported."
How can I find a way to import this address book into my new computer? I have a copy of the book on my desktop.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
It all depends on what version of ClarisWorks/AppleWorks the address book is save as & if it's a database or a spreadsheet or text. Only AppleWorks can open ClarisWorks/AppleWorks databases & the newest version of AppleWorks, 6.2.9, can't open many ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files. The easiest thing would be to send the file to someone with AppleWorks who can open the file & re-save it at text or a spreadsheet. If you don't know anyone, you can send it to me & I'll send it back as soon as I can.
You could buy a copy of AppleWorks 6.2.4 which will run in OS X & will open any ClarisWorks or AppleWorks file or you can try MacLink Plus from DataViz.

Welcome to Discussions!
In Finder, click Go>Home, open "Library", open "Preferences", find the files com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist and com.apple.AddressBook.plist and move them to your desktop.
Then log out and log in again, and try again.
Good luck!

My Safari, Address Book and Mac Mail have stopped working.

Recently my Safari, Address book and Mac Mail have become unstable, I cannot edit or copy anything from my Address book, most of the time it'll stop responding before I can even view an address. My Safari keeps freezing and then crashing and I have to force quit, sometimes several times before it'll close. The Mac Mail won't do anything, it tries to download mail and then will sit there doing nothing, again sometimes I have to force quit several times before it'll actually quit.
I have run the extended hardware test and all is fine, I have reinstalled my OS and then restored my info from a backup and still it doesn't work. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Hi jen_bob,
My iMac is a trooper, so far this is the first time its played up - I have I pushed it too far?
I think you've just installed the wrong version of Safari, that's all. Safari 3.x is supposed to be for OS X 10.4 or 10.5 - according to your tag line you are using 10.3.9.
Assuming you are using 10.3.9, then the Safari install will have updated a few system frameworks that are used by other applications (such as Mail). In that case, the 'easiest' way to get things working again is to do an 'Archive & Install' and choose to preserve users and network settings.

Let's say I sync my address book with .Mac. Now...

...if I add to my address book using an Internet browser on another computer, will my Mac be updated with this new address as well? If not, how do I make it so it is?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you log onto your .Mac account and change data displayed in your address book on .Mac, then—following the next scheduled synchronization event—the change will be reflected on all of the devices included in that event.
What Apple hasn't explained outside of the developer community is that you are not actually synchronizing applications [like iCal or the Address Book] or servers [like .Mac] or devices [like your mobile handset or a Palm organizer] when you initiate a synchronization. What you are really doing is triggering an interaction with one or more of these and the SyncServices engine, which maintains what is termed the 'truth database'—or simply, the 'truth'—to which is pushed, or from which is pulled, the current state of data maintained in fields and records for one or more specific data types. Because of the way this process works, it is not necessary to have all synchronized devices available or attached when a synchronization event occurs.
So you can make a change to your .Mac address book records and, during a subsequent synchronization, exchange the most current data maintained in the truth with the updated information from .Mac, and then, hours later, plug in your iPod, an action which will trigger iTunes to pull the latest data from the truth and write it to the iPod, updating your contact and calendaring records. The same is true for other applications, servers and devices.

System Preferences - Users and Groups - Login Items - remove any that you don't want on startup.
Don't forget also that Lion will automatically restart any apps you had open when you shut down, unless you untick the "Reopen windows when logging back in" tickbox that appears.

Check for new 64 bit software for the modem, other wise you I'll probably have to boot your Mac in 32 bit mode first.. And then every time you want to go online.
I have the Sierra wireless 306 and have their 64 bit lion software installed. Works well.
Best.
