No Contacts or Address Book app

My new iPhone doesn't have an icon for Contacts (or Address Book).  Is that something I have to add myself?  That seems odd.  I can see contacts if I set out to create a message, but don't see any way to pull up a list of contacts right from the start.  User error, I'm sure.

Swipe down on the home screen and type Contacts in the search field. If it is on the device (and it should be) it will show up, and if it is in a folder, will tell which one. Assuming it does show up in the search, go back tot he home screen and swipe left-right to see your alternate screens and locate it.

    Address book app and Addresses pane in Mail not synced
    I add a contact to Address Book app eg [email protected], this address is not imediatley available to use in Apple Mail app.
    The address [email protected] eventually appears in the Address panel in Maill app, it can take from 3 minutes to hours to appear, surely both apps are reading the same database.
    This is particularly problematic when adding new contacts to groups and then emailing that group, Im never sure the group in Mail app is the same as the group in Address Book app.
    Nothing seems to speed up this process ie quitting and re-opening Mail app or Address book app.
    I have tried deletting "AddressBook-v22.abcddb" ~/Library/Aplication Suport/Address Book
    I have tried forcing ~/Library/Aplication Suport/Address Book to re-index.
    I have also restarted, repaired permissions, ran fsck -fy in single user mode.

    Because the sender has their name as part of the email address that is sent, and when they send you a message that matches the one in your Address Book, it's updated to show their name as Mail received it. But if you had previously sent them email before that update occurred, then your Previous Recipients database in Mail doesn't use that newly updated information in Address Book.

  • 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

  • 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,

  • Sharing contacts in Address Book through iCloud

    I work in an office where the contacts in our Address Book App. need to be shared with multiple users over multiple computers/devices. We currently have all of our contacts in the Address Book App. but whenever a new contact is added we need to physically transfer it to each machine. Ultimately, we need to accomplish 3 tasks:
    1. We need to be able to create, edit, and share contacts on and between multiple computers/devices/accounts. Access is needed by all employees, including our boss.
    2. Some of our contacts need to be kept private, (not shared across all machines) associated with a single account. These are our bosses private contacts that are included in the mass of our current Address Book App.
    3. Do all of this in iCloud
    Is it possible to share groups in Address Book over iCloud while keeping other groups private from sharing. Of course, these private entries would still need to be accessible through iCloud by our boss. I've read threads explaining that setting up a "Family Account" alongside individual accounts allows one to share contacts through the "Family Account" while keeping contacts in the individual accounts private. It seems though that this solution has its issues.
    If there is an efficient and effective way of doing this, please share!
    Thank you in advance!

    If iCloud can figure this out Google is toast. Hope someone from Apple monitors these discussions.

  • How to delete ALL contacts in Address Book 10.6.3.(1091) in Macbook?

    I made no effort ever to add the contents of my iPhone to my Macbook. Ever. Right now in my Skype app that I have only Just downloaded have I just found ALL of my iPhone contacts in it's contact list. NOT GOOD. I am looking for a way to remove my iPhone phone book from the Address Book on my Mac and then remove ALL those same contacts from the Skype contact list.
    I am now removing my iPhone contacts from Address Book on my Macbook one by one manually. Is there a shorter way of doing this?

    Are you using iCloud?
    What is the file format you intend to use to import contacts? If it an Address Book Backup (.abbu) then perhaps you can import it. That would delete your entire Address Book and replace it with the backup.
    I might suggest simply moving your entire ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book folder to the Desktop. That seems rather drastic though, and if your contacts are stored in iCloud it might not make a difference.

  • 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?

  • Can I add my AOL contacts to Address Book?

    Need some help getting AOL contacts into Address book, even or Mail for that matter.
    Thanks

    You can not add MSN Buddies to the AIm Buddy List.
    You can however create a Jabber ID and then with a Third Party App link to what is called a Transport that will connect you to the MSN Service for Text Only chats.
    Read the first two links in this section
    http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page5.html#_jabber
    The third link is the most up-to-date List of Jabber Servers with Transports I have found.
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my link to my website.

  • Moving outlook contacts to address book???

    Hi,
    Can someone please explain to me, step by step, how to move my outlook contacts to address book? The instructions found in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304721
    don't work at all.
    I have downloaded the app from littlemachines.com, but in these steps, I cannot locate where my contacts are, and therefore I cannot export them.
    I have a USB stick with my contacts on, but these are file format .msg and cannot be imported into address book.
    Please someone help me out.
    Thanks! Any help is much appreciated.

    Take a look here. Everyone, except me, seem to have great success with this.

  • Unable to create or edit AD (mail) contacts in address book

    Hi!
    I recently imported quite a list of contacts from an old CRM application into Exchange. All entries are nicely created in domain.local\company\location\Contacts. All fields are visible in Outlook under All Address Lists\All Contacts.
    As we have a small company, just a few users, I want to give most of them the rights to create and update entries in the All Contacts folder, just as they were used to in the old app.
    I started by creating role groups following this article:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/08/07/creating-rbac-role-to-delegate-contact-management.aspx
    I created an Admin Role group named Contact Administration, which contains the required Members, and I assigned two role groups to this group: Contact_Management, which is based on the Mail Recipient Creation parent group, and Contact_Management_2,
    which is based on the Mail Recipient parent group. The Write Scope is: domain.local\company\location\Contacts.
    Because this didn't result in anyone being able to update the contacts, I also created a group in Active Directory and delegated control on the contacts OU to this group, even though I think this doesn't add to the desired result (as it indeed didn't).
    What am I missing here? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, to create or edit a mail contact in address book, please follow these steps: -
    Use the Shell to create a contact
    This example creates mail contact for Debra Garcia in Exchange Server 2013
    New-MailContact -Name "Debra Garcia" -ExternalEmailAddress [email protected] -OrganizationalUnit Users
    This example creates a mail contact for Alan Shen in Exchange online.
    New-MailContact -Name "Alan Shen" -ExternalEmailAddress [email protected]
    3.     This example mail-enables an existing contact named Karen Toh in Exchange Server 2013.
    Enable-MailContact -Identity "Karen Toh" -ExternalEmailAddress [email protected]
    To add a contact: -
    You can use the EAC to change selected properties for multiple mail contacts. When you select two or more mail contacts from the contacts lit in the EAC, the properties that can be bulk edited are displayed in the Details pane. When you change one of these properties, the change applies to all selected recipients.
    When you bulk edit mail contacts, you can change the following properties areas: -
    ·        Contact Information: - Change shared properties such as street, postal code, and city name.
    ·        Organization: - Change shared properties such as department name, company name, and the manager that the selected mail contact or mail users report to.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • All my contacts in Address Book suddenly vanished

    Hi,
    I was updating a contact in Address Book, (usual story, new address and email address arrived in a Christmas card), and when I clicked on the 'save' button my address book window suddeny lost all it's data. The page I was updating, which had previously been showing the contact details, now showed as 'No card selected' And at the bottom of the window it said '0 cards'
    All my groups were showing as having nothing in them either.
    Any ideas how I might get all my contact data back, please?
    (I have a feeling that the data is there somewhere, because if I start to write a new email message auto-complete remembers and fills in the address. (Which it gets from address book, doesn't it?)

    Update:
    I have used Time Machine to replace the Address Book app with the app that was running satisfactorily a few hours ago, but it has made no difference whatever. I still have a completely blank book.
    Is there a data file somewhere I could re-load using Time Machine?

  • 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.

  • How To Reinstall Deleted Address Book App?

    I foolishly deleted the Address Book application after updating to 10.9, and I want it back.
    The solutions I've found all involve reinstalling the OS from an install disc, which is not an option for Macbook Airs like mine.
    I redownloaded the 10.8 install image, but it gives me this error on open: "OS X 10.8 cannot be installed on this computer."
    Help me, Obi Wan. You're my only hope.

    @mende1, donktar only wants to get a deleted app back, reverting the entire OS is overkill don't you think!?
    'Address book', are you sure it wasn't called 'Contacts'? Why are you attempting to install it from 10.8? It exists in 10.9 but is called Contacts. Address book had a name change in 10.7 or 10.8 IIRC.
    You should be able to install 10.9 'in place' so it restores the default apps. Just make sure you don't erase the HD once running from the installer.
    Another option is to use Pacifist to extract it from the installer packages - http://charlessoft.com. I'm not sure if anyone has located which package it is stored inside for 10.9, but if you are willing to do some exploring it will be somewhere inside "Install OS X Mavericks.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg"
    Use the Finders right click Menu > Show package contents… to find & open the InstallESD.dmg and then start
    looking at the packages in Pacifist. You can extract the contents to restore the apps, I don't recommend restoring older versions of apps to newer OS's.
