Organization Address books no longer show on left when writing

Long time Thunderbird user. The address books form 4 accounts no longer appear when composing email.
It is mostly for this feature that I use Thunderbird.
How do I get back to the former iteration that worked?

Open a Write window.
Press F9 to toggle the contact sidebar on and off.
You can also do this from the View menu in the Write window.

  • When using Mail and selecting the recipient, Address Book no longer shows Groups. I am forced to select from my entire alphabetized contact list. What's going on?

    Has the Address Book software changed? Or has Mail changed? For purposes of email, Address Book no longer allows me to find an addressee or several addressees who are members of one of my Groups (or Smart Groups). What happens is this: I open Mail, initiate a new email, put the cursor in the To: box and click the 'Show addresses' icon in the New Message box. The Addresses list shows up in a separate window with an alphabetized listing of all my contacts. It used to allow me to select a Group, but Groups are no longer listed. I have no choice but to select an address (or addresses) from the entire list. Needless to say, this is intolerable.
    Ultimately, I have two questions:
    What has changed and can I fix it so it works as it used to?
    If I can't fix it, what other email/address book software combination works simply and cleanly so I don't have to live with this frustration.

    This add-on may help:
    https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html
    I've had this add-on for so long that I can't remember what it does and does not provide.
    If you select a List in your Address Book, so that its contents display at the right, does "Export" not write just the Lists's member Contacts out to the csv file?
    It does here, but this may be thanks to the above-mentioned add-on.

    If you want.
    or maybe install Snow Leopard using the disc it came on with my Mac and just set it up from a Time Machine Backup on my external hard drive (since it works under SL)?
    Did you install Lion on an empty partition, or did you upgrade Snow Leopard?  If you upgraded, I'd not recommend erasing it, since your backups are apparently gone.  It's doubtful Snow Leopard will recognize them. 
    It's not just backups on the drive either, there are other important things on there, so why won't they show?
    Mixing Time Machine backups and other data is not a good idea.  See #3 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  It sounds like the whole disk is corrupted.
    I just really don't understand how this happened. Could it not be an issue with WD because they haven't issued firmware to support Lion yet?
    If this is a simple external HD, connected by USB or FireWire, no, unless you installed some of WD's software on it.  That shouldn't prevent it from being seen at all, but anything's possible.

  • Address Book no longer syncs with google contacts

    After my switch to Lion, I'm noticing that my address book no longer syncs with my google contacts??
    After I update my contacts in address book, it doesn't show up on google contacts and vice versa.
    Is anyone else exprienceing this?

    ¡¡¡Ok, Something worked for me!!!
    I have my address book empty, and then this is what I did:
    1- Copy Address book app to downloads (or other folder) just to back it up
    2- Install AppCleaner
    3- Drag and Drop address book ap into app cleaner, make sure that it references to several files (all .plist files etc.) If there are no external references then try to drag and drop your backup, do it until you see the rest of references (uncheck address book widget)
    4- After press clean in AppCleaner, it will delete everything.
    5- Put back your address book app backup into your applications folder
    6- Open it and if your are lucky you will see all the contacts again, they were like hidden....
    Then I deleted all the contacts again and set up google account in preferences again, after that it syncs fine!!!
    Good Luck!

  • Hotmail address book no longer works

    My hotmail address book no longer works. When I press "To" in the address bar, nothing comes up. If I press "reply" to respond to an email then again, nothing happens. I have to copy and paste the address. The only way I can find out an address is to go into the search box, bring up an old email and paste the address from it. This problem happened a while ago and seems to be after one of the automatic Firefox updates. Please can you advise? Thanks

  • Synch new contacts from Address Book no longer works.

    My iphone will no longer synch new contacts in my Address Book on my Mac. It was working fine and then I loaded too much audio content and ran out of memory so I think it could not synch properly without memory available.  I've since deleted all my audio and have plenty of space yet new contacts in Address Book do not show up on my iPhone even though the synch process appears to complete. Any ideas?

    I hope you are doing this over wifi, if you are not then you may have exceeded your monthly data limit, but I doubt that's the problem. All I can say is that Address Book will be getting refurbished soon, and according to Apple, it will be far more simple to transfer data between iOS and Macs.

  • ICal and Address Book no longer syncing with iPhone - HELP!

    HELP!
    I am a long time Apple user and rely heavily on my iPhone to keep me where I need to be, when I need to be there. I have an iPhone 4 and it is running OS 6.0.1. Everything was working fabulously until recently. Sadly I don't know when the problems started--when I updated to OS 6 OR when I updated iTunes to version 11. Either way, my iCal and Address Book no longer sync with my iPhone. And to add insult to injury, my phone is no longer automatically detecting the AT&T microcell I have in my house. I have to reboot my phone every time I come back in the house--talk about annoying.
    I am not super techy, so I am hoping someone can help me with this. I LIVE by my iPhone and as a self-employed person, I can't afford for this device to stop giving me information. I also don't want to do entries on my phone AND computer everytime something changes. I do not want to go back to the more reliable paper calendar and address book.
    I have iCloud turned on, and it appears to sync my address book with my iPhone. But I seem to be a mess with iCal and my desktop. And between iCal/Adress Book on my computer and iPhone, nothing is talking.
    HELP!!!!

    I think my company updated Exchange on Friday and since then I cannot sync with Mac Mail, Entourage does not seem to be working either?
    Any fix found

  • Add sender to address book no longer working

    "Add sender to address book" no longer works. It flashes the menu bar as if it is working, however, when I go to the Address book, the new person is not there. This has been going on for a number of weeks.
    Any ideas?

    Keith,
    Since you have confirmed that the maintenance scripts have been used, then you may benefit from the troubleshooting procedures listed in Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption.
    I would also suspect .plist corruption with com.apple.mail.plist and/or com.apple.AddressBook.plist.

  • The search feature in Address Book no longer works

    I have over 2,400 contacts. For no apparent reason the search feature in my Apple Address Book no longer works. The  Address Book app has quit several times recently, again for no apparent reason. It is probably unrelated, but Preview has also been quitting. I have repaired permissions and used Disk Warrior 4.4 to rebuild the directory. Any thoughts?

    That was a while back...after a little research to jog my memory, it had to do with iCloud. I found this on another page, and I think this is what I did to fix it:
    "I had the same problem and fixed it a slightly different (and probably safer) way:
    Backup your Address Book - File > Export > Address Book Archive
    Go into preferences > iCloud - untick syncing for Contacts
    When it asks you, tell it to delete the contacts from your local Mac (all your local address cards will be deleted but they will still be in iCloud)
    All your cards should now be deleted from Address Book on your Mac
    Quit Address Book
    Go into preferences > iCloud - tick syncing for Contacts (this will download your contacts into Address Book again)
    Open Address Book and after a few secs you should see all your cards and the problem should be fixed"
    The important part is to be sure to export your Address Book before doing anything. I think I ended up afater deleting all the cards and quitting address book, I reimported them from the backup I exported. Has been fine since. This is pretty safe as long as you have that exported file.

  • Address Book Groups not showing up in iTunes

    The groups that I have set up in Address Book are not showing up in the Info tab in iTunes when attempting to sync my iPhone. The iCal calendars show and sync with no problems. I have tried resetting sync history, logging off of my .Mac account and logging back in.
    Any advise? Thanks.

    Don't take what I have to say as fact, because I don't use a Mac and could be mistaken. I remember reading last night something about people taking and checking the box on the Summary page of iTunes to replace the info on the iPhone with the computer. Once that was done, it seemed to correct this issue and showed the address groups after that.
    It might be worth the experiment, however I would make sure I had a backup of the phone before I tried it. I know it was only the last day or show that I read it, so if you want to search the forum before you try it, be my guest. I don't want to ruin anything for you, but I just remember reading that someone did that and it fixed it.
    Hope this helps.

  • When forwarding an e-mail I have lost the address book contact list on the left side.

  • Apple Address Book no longer sync'ing with iPhone

    I'm running Leopard Server 10.5.1. Address Book sync with my iPhone is no longer working properly. iTunes is getting Address Book information from someplace other than Address Book. This is what I did to test this theory:
    1. deleted all contacts in Address Book
    2. deleted ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
    3. deleted ~/Library/Caches
    4. deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook*.plist
    5. in iSync, Reset Sync History
    After the above, I logged out and logged back in; fired up iTunes, sync'ed and got a message saying if I continue the sync, there will be a greater than 5% change to the info on my iPhone - in the dialog box, it listed all the entries in my Address Book prior to me deleting them (oddly, all the contact names are there and all notes for contacts are there but the phone #s, email addresses, web pages, etc. are gone). I verified Address Book by opening it and none of the listed contacts are there, so, where is iTunes getting that data? Also, the Info tab in iTunes shows groups in the Contacts section that were all deleted.
    Can someone offer a solution?

    OK, I know why this is happening now. This is what I'm seeing in the logs when I do a sync from iTunes:
    1/30/08 8:39:29 AM AddressBookSync[86028] AddressBookSync (client id: com.apple.AddressBook) error: Exception running AddressBookSync: can't remove object at /Network/Servers/trantor.tyrann.net/Homes/abid/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/clientdata/633a1ba25cb8241bbde44acb603ee1e822cde772/ bbb82163e3ac8d890906c3d29deb27e226048c30: Permission denied

    The permission on these files and the directory they're in is read & write access to me and no access for everyone else. So what should the correct permissions be? I have full access to create and remove files so why am I getting permission errors?

  • Address Book contact preview shows a different date than what is input in the birthday field.

    When opening the address book and clicking on an entry, the preview pane at the bottom shows a different date than the date that is entered in the birthday field. It shows the day before the actual date that is entered. See images below:
    Thanks!

    Thunderbird numbering is based on the Extended Support Releases, which are provided every seven "regular" cycles (thus after 7 6-week cycles = every 42 weeks) to minimize fallout from new features hitting the releases to frequently. Initially, those release were issued to organizations only which require some kind of internal review or certification of software prior to deployment.
    Currently we are in the "37.0" cycle and 38 beta 1 has just been released (but doesn't have the fix yet). Meaning, the next release after 31.6.0 won't be 31.7.0 but 38.0 already, followed by 38.1.0 up to 38.6.0, the continuing with 45.0, etc.
    Confusing, yes, but that's what they came up with.
