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.

Address book has same entries multiple times how can I go back to original cesium

Address book has same entries multiple times how can I go back to original cesium

After a couple of days, I'm noticing that the repeat(ing) offenders have more than 10 episodes, and seem to keep repeating them every time I sync.
They only show once in my phone and in the iTunes Podcasts, but through iTunes and looking at what's in my phone is when I see the repeats.
Even after I've marked a podcast as played, and deleted it from within my phone, as well as telling iTunes to delete the played episodes, it still shows multiples of the played episodes.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either. They aren't the newest ones either.

Address Book gone, and erased from iphone

After an computer update, I had to restart my computer. My iphone was plugged in at the time. When it restarted, I looked at my phone and all the contacts were gone. After checking my address book on the computer, that was erased as well. Is there anything i can do to get my contacts back?

Hi Rich, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Ouch!
Try this for starters... no iPhone plugged in of cure...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Reboot when it completes.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

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:

Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.

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.

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.

My wife just got this iPad mini and I want to copy the address book on my iPad 2 over to the mini. Can I use iCloud to do this and what are the steps. The 2 devices have different Apple IDs.

Download the "My Contacts Backup" app from App Store to your iPad 2. Make a backup and send it by email to your wife's address. Open this email from iPad mini and tap the attachment to import the contacts into iPad mini Contacts app.

Can I make a Copy of Address Book?

Hi,
I really like Address Book. I have a group of children that I'd like to make a list of. They are all part of a program that was formed back in 1992. Our club has recruited about 1300 since then and I would like to make use of Address Book as a way to track and record them. I have a directory in a Word category, but it doesn't work the way Address Book does, and is difficult to use sometimes. The notes section of Address Book where a majority of data would obviously be placed, would also be a great way to keep contact with them if we have any activity that may interest them.
My questions are:
1. Can a copy of Address Book be made so that I can have Address Book #1 which I currently use, and then #2 for the children in the program?
2. If this can be done, would I be able to keep a separate mail program to track correspondence?
Thank you for any help!

For the Address Book, you can simply create a Group for your club. Click the + sign in the bottom left corner, and create two (or more Groups). You may want one for your club, one for your personal contacts. When you click on that Group, you will see only those contacts. This is your best bet if you want to stick with Address Book for this.
If you want two truly separate address books, that is more difficult to manage. You can have a personal address book, and use File > Back up Address Book to save that as an archive. Then delete those entries and put your club members in. Then use File > Back up Address Book again to create an archive of that book (give it a different name!!). To switch between books, use the File > Revert to Address Book Backup command to load the other book. You will need to re-back up each book every time you make a change to it else the changes will be lost. That's why you're better off using the Groups - that's what they're for!
As for Mail, again, separate programs are not the best solution. You can set up a different email account specific for your club emails (with your ISP, gmail, whatever) and different User Profiles in Mail for your personal email account and your club email account. If you are going to use only one email account, you can set create a folder in Mail to store your club emails, and you may consider a filter to sort replies from those 1300 people into a folder automatically.
Hope this helps...

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

Address Book App Gone But Addresses Still Usable

I sync my Entourage with my apple addressbook so that all contacts are in Addressbook. I seldom ever open addressbook. Today I wanted to export some Vcards and went to the application folder and the addressbook was not there. My Entourage program is linked to an addressbook file in my user library and all the addresses appear to be visible through entourage.
So how do I get the address book app back? I have another addressbook on a second mac I have, can I just drag it over my network and put it in my apps file or will that write over the existing database?

Well I dragged the address book application from another computer on my network to my application file. All the addresses that Entourage is using can now be seen in the Addressbook I dragged over.

Accidentally deleted Address Book App!!

Hello all,
As I was deleting some apps, apparently Address Book was selected inadvertently. As a result, I no longer have the application, and I really don't want to reinstall Leopard all over again.
Would someone be kind enough to either upload the Address Book app so I could download it, or email it to me? If the latter, contact me, and I will supply my email address.
Thanks in advance!

Try using Pacifist to extract Address Book from the computer's original disks or Mac OS X 10.5 disk, and then run all Mac OS X updates you previously applied to that system.

How do I copy an address book from one user account to another?

How do I copy an address book from one user account to another?

You haven't understood me. Follow these steps:
1. Log in the user where are the files you want to transfer, and open a Finder window.
2. In Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /Users/Shared. Now you're on Shared folder, so leave that window.
3. Open a new Finder window without closing the old one, go to the folder with the files you want to transfer, and copy them to Shared folder.
4. After copying the files to Shared folder, go to  > Log Out, and log in the other user.
5. Repeat the step 2, and you will get access to the transferred files. Now, you can open them directly from this folder, or you can copy them to a folder on your user folder
