Os x 10.4.11address book into os x 10.6.8

I crashed my ibook.  Got a macbook from my daughter.  Took the address book from my husband's ibook, input it into the macbookand jiunked my daughter's address book.  Bad move.  The ibook address book won't open in the macbook.  I get a message saying the "you can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS x.  You have Address Book 4.0.6"  So now I can't add new contacts unless I get an email from them and do it from within Mail and I can't edit the entries.  What can I do to restore the appropriate address book.  The one I deleted is not in junk anymore so that's not an option and I don't have the system diskettes because my daughter didn't send them with the computer and she's in Europe.  Any help would be welcome.  Thanks.

If your daughter didn't give the original discs to you when you got the MacBook, you'll have to get them from her or buy a copy of Snow Leopard yourself and reinstall Address Book. This is what you get when you start thinking you can mix and match parts of one OS with another.
Don't ever do that. Instead, learn about what you want to do before you try to do it, that way you can avoid these types of situations, and save yourself a lot of frustration in the process.
You can buy Snow Leopard at the online Apple Store: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
or check with your nearest Apple Retail Store; they may still have it, too.

  • Scanning multiple pages from print book into computer

    How to scan multiple pages from print book into computer? Someone supplied a link to this question, but I got stuck at step 1: Where is "HP Director software"? In other directions, it says to open the "HP Scan window," but that option is not available to me when I follow the directions. I have an HP 2159m computer, HP Photosmart Plus all-in-one, Windows 7, and use Firefox, if that's any help.
    TIA

    I have a similar problem:
    I am using an HP Officejet 6310xi via its TWAIN interface.  Regardless of which application invokes TWAIN (whether Irfanview, Thumbs Plus, or something else), the scanner dialog closes after transferring each scanned image.  To scan the next page requires re-starting the scanner, beginning with a whole new preview and re-entering all my scan settings.  This is only an issue with the HP scanner, not with my Cannon CanoScan LIDE 100, Visioneer OneTouch 8920, or any other scanner, each of whose scanner dialogs stay open for scan after scan.  Can anyone help me make the HP scanner dialog stay open for multiple pages?
    Note: Based on a suggestion on another site I set my scan preferences to include "Prompt for Additional Scans from Glass" as follows, but it did not help.
    I am experienced at scanning, but I find it extremely frustrating that the HP scan dialog closes, forgetting its settings, after each page.
    If it helps others, I gladly share my article, "Freedom from Paper--At Last" here

  • I have downloaded several books into ibooks.  Started reading one and closed it when I was done reading for the day.  Now I want to access other books and when I open ibooks it goes directly to that first book.  What can I do? Help please.

    I have downloaded several books into ibooks.  Started reading one and closed it when I was done reading for the day.  Now I want to access other books and when I open ibooks it goes directly to that first book.  It does not give me the shelf to choose what book I want to read - goes directly to the first book. What can I do? Help please.

    There should be a Library button on the top left. If not ap the middle of the screen to get it to appear.

  • I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library.  When I tried to transfer it to my iPod shuffle it rearranged the tracks so that they are in the wrong order.  How can I put them in the order they appear in the book?

    I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library.  When I tried to transfer it to my iPod Shuffle it put the chapters in the wrong order i.e. Chap 1, Chap 10, Chap 11 etc. rather than Chap 1, Chap 2, Chap 3 ...  How can I get it to put them in the order they appear in the book?

    First, we need to know if the audiobook chapters are being treated by iTunes as music files or as audiobooks. If they are not audiobooks purchased from the iTunes store, they might be getting "shuffled". You will need to look at "File" - "Properties" (I think - I don't use iTunes under Windows - or right-click on the file and choose "properties") and look at the media type. If it is "Music", change it to "Audiobook". If this is not the problem, or does not fix anything, please post back.
    Actually, looking at your post again, a second thought occurs to me - assuming there are less than 100 chapters in the book, just renaming them with a leading zero on the first nine chapters might do it. A computer will alphabetically sort filenames in the order you quote (1, 10, 11, 12, 13, ... 2, 21, etc.) but a leading zero will fix that (01, 02, 03 ... 10, 11, 12)

  • I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one?

    I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one? There are only a few of the contacts I had, so there must be a location where the rest are, but not sure where to look. And once I find them (with your help), how do I get them into the address book?

    If you copy abook.mab or history.mab into a profile folder, they will show up as Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses. But if the mab files have names other than abook or history, they can only be imported to TB with the use of [https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook].

  • Copying a page from one picture book into another

    Does anyone know how to copy a page from one picture book into another. I have made 2 books and would like to make a third consisting of pages from the first 2 but seem unable to do it without starting again, or at least starting from a duplicate of one and re doing all the missing pages.

    Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
    print each page you want to include in "book 3" to a PDF and use the send PDF to iPhoto option - this will give you the pages as images in iPhoto that you can them place into "book 3"
    See Old Toad's tutorial #19 for more details - http://web.mac.com/toad.hall/OldToadsTutorials/No._19.html - note that it is slightly different - you are only using the beginning part

  • Looking for a way to move entire pages from one photo book into another photo book.

    I haven't found out how to move pages from one photo book into another. Surely this is possible?
    Also on the subject of photo books: it seems that it is not possible to enlarge the size of a text box. Or has anyone found a way to accomodate more than 1 line of text on a photo book page?

    You can look through some of the different Layouts available.
    Select your page.
    Click the "Layout" icon on the lower right hand of the application window.
    Above it will appear a "BACKGROUND" section and a "LAYOUT" section.
    Immediately below the "LAYOUT" is a drop down menu which will show you all the different options.

  • Is it possible to copy and paste a review quiz from on book into another?

    I have a number of quizzes in an ibook which I have been using as a sand box.
    There are 10 questions in each quiz.
    I have copied and pasted a lot of the material from the trial ibook into a new book.
    I would like to copy and paste the quizzes from the first book into the new new ibook also.
    Is this possible?

    Its possible to make a duplicate of the quiz within an ibook, but I have tried CUT and PASTE but it does not work even though they are both colored black in the menu.
    As CUT and PASTE are colored black, I thought that it might somehow be possible to copy them from one ibook to another.
    I can copy the complete section containing the quiz from the first ibook to the second ibook. If I could then copy the review quiz to the appropriate section in the second ibook, and then delete the copied section, it might work.
    However, it still will not copy and paste the review quiz, only make a duplicate next to the original quiz.

    Iam trying to download data from a group in my address book into Numbers.  When I click on the data to move and drag to Numbers nothing happens.  Using OS X ver 10.9.2 iMac

    With Numbers 3.2 (released April 2014) drag and drop works on my machine again, either onto the canvas or into an existing table.
    What also works (as Wayne described): select multiple contacts, command-c to copy, and (after clicking the canvas or a cell) command-v to paste.

  • I have purchased books through my kindle subscription and downloaded them to my ipad2. how do i get those books into itunes?

    i have purchased books through my kindle subscription and downloaded them to my ipad2. how do i get those books into itunes?

    You can't. Kindle is a different ecosystem than iTunes. Generally, you choose your book ecosystem and you stick with it or you have books in both (or in several).
    There is a Kindle app for the iPad and iPhone that is just as good (and in my opinion substantially better) than the Apple iBook app.
    Most purchased books (but not all) have Digital Rights Management that prevent them from being shared or moved easily. Books purchased on iTunes are meant to be used on your iPad with iBooks. Books purchased on Amazon Kindle are meant to be used on your Kindle apps.

  • Importing Netscape's address book into Apple's Address Book application

    I want to import my email Netscape email address book into Apple's Address Book application. So I open the Address Book application and select import from the pull down menu. That brings up three choices, vCards, LDIF and Text. I previously had saved my Netscape address book as a pdf file. So I selected, Text. A window appeared from which I was to select where I wanted to get the file from. I made selections until I got to where my pdf file was and selected it. But I got the following error message.
    The file you selected does not appear to be a valid comma separated values (csv) file nor a valid tab delimited file, please choose another file.
    So I tried again and this time I selected LDIF, but when the file in my Netscape Users Profile that would appear to be my address book came up, it was “greyed out” and I could not select it. The file had the name “abook.mab”. It is not an LDIF file. There are no LDIF files in my profile.
    So I tried selecting vCards, but I got the exact same results as above. The file that looks like it is my address book, is grayed out and cannot be selected.
    So I went into Netscape to see if I could export my address book into Apple’s Address Book. I chose export from the Netscape menu and a window opened asking me to select where I wanted to export the file to. But when I got to Apple’s Address Book application, it was greyed out and could not be selected. The same thing happened when I tried to select Apple’s Mail program.
    I have about three hundred email addresses in my Netscape address book. If these addresses have to be manually entered into Apple's Address Book, I will not make the switch to Apple's Mail program.

    Netscape's Address Book window does not have that option. The Export option is under the Tools menu, but does not give you any options in the Tools menu. Once you select Export, the Export Address Book window opens. This window does have a format option where you can select either LDIF, Comma Separated or Tab Delimited. But it doesn't matter which of those I select, Apple's Address Book and Mail applications are not available for selection.
