OS5 - Address Book Slow or Does Not Respond

I updated to OS5 and find that my address book is not functioning properly. It looks like by MacBook Pro is searching the cloud vs searching the laptop. How do I get the address book search to default to my hard drive, not the cloud?

First off, do a simple reboot:  With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
Does this fix your address book?
If not, let me ask if you have added a Gmail email address in the past month, about when this odd behaviour began?
Can you look at Options > Status > press the Meny key > Database Sizes.
Scroll down to Address Book, do you see more than one listed?
What do you see?

  • Address book search now does not find contacts older contacts in 8310

    Hi from a new subscriber, and Thanks for any help!  A month ago my 8310 Curve, v. 4.5.0.55 (Platform 2.7.0.68) service provider O2, stopped being able to search and find Contacts unless I had added them after that date.  These newer Contacts have not been folded into the original Address Book, but are all in a new and alphabetised list at the end of the original Contacts list.  There are no Categories assigned, no Network sync, and Content is not protected.  The Contacts are in the phone, not on the SIM.
    Before this, I could type in to the Address Book or the phone the first 2-3 letters of someone's name and it would take me to that contact - now it says there's no such person.  So I have to scroll through the entire address book to get to who I want, and then I can call/SMS etc.
    Any ideas would be very much appreciated!  Thanks.

  • Address Book Associates Field does not sync with iPhone

    Apple went to the trouble of getting custom field names in the Mac OS Address Book to synchronize with the iPhone (which is wonderful), but they left one field 'unsyncable'; the associates field. If you list a contact's manager name, spouse name, child name, etc. in Address Book, it does not sync with the iPhone (OS 3.0.1) 'Phone' application. This is very useful (and embarrasment-preventing) when needing to remember the name of a contact's manager, wife, child, etc. Does anyone have any idea why Apple left this out of the sync? Certainly it couldn't have to do with saving memory...

    Oh yes! i have this same problem - i have tried emailing Apple Customer Support but they were unable to help me. They advised me to speak to technical or raise the issue on the Apple Support board (but someone already has!)
    so if someone can help us both out here with how to sync additional field information added on Address Book on Mac to then sync all this additional information to iPhone, we would be greatly appreciative!!Thanks,
    Mark

  • Update ical and address book on iMac does not update iPhone or ipad

    I have updated my ical and address book on my imac, but it is not updating my iphone or ipad, I have activated icloud on all machines, can anyone help please. Have looked at the forum, but cannot find my issue specifically. Regards

    On the iPhone and iPad, tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Calendars and Contacts off then back on then reset the devices.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    On the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the boxes next to Calendars and Contacts then restart your iMac.

  • I keep getting the error message "Restore Windows"  Finder application quit unexpectedly.  When I click an icon on the desktop on my Mac Book Pro it does not respond.

    I keep getting the error message "Restore Windows"  When I click an icon on  the desktop on my Mac Book Pro, it is not reaponding.

    While holding down the option key, select "Go>Library" from the Finder. Navigate to the Preferences folder and you'll find "com.apple.finder.plist". Delete that file and restart.
    Good luck,

  • Address Book does not respond, why

    Address book is stuck. I open it and it simply does not respond.

    So there is something wrong with permissions on your disk. I am not enough of a geek to do other than make the standard suggestions:
    Do all the disk utility repairs (even if this means booting off your repair CD), run all the daily/weekly/monthly scripts (I use Yasu for this), click your heals together three times and say "I wish, I wish, I wish..."
    If worst comes to worst, you could try
    1) Create a new user
    2) Copy ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook from the old user to the new user (by way of ~/Public)
    3) Open AddressBook in the new user
    4) If it opens and if the addresses are there, do an export
    5) Delete files until AddressBook opens in the old user with an empty address book
    6) import the addresses from the new user
    Obviously, I have never done this, and the steps above are an outline, not a recipe, but it might work.

    Good luck.

  • In Mac Mail on OS 10.5.8 I am receiving bogus emails which claim to be sent by people in my address book, but actually are not.  How does this happen and how can I correct this problem

    n Mac Mail on OS 10.5.8 I am receiving bogus emails which claim to be sent by people in my address book, but actually are not.  How does this happen and how can I correct this problem

    You said:
    I am receiving bogus emails which claim to be sent by people in my address book, but actually are not.
    ...and:
    Are you saying that my address book has not been hacked into?  That others are getting these email addresses from another source?
    This confuses me.  Are you saying that you are receiving bogus e-mails from some of your contacts, or are you saying that they are receiving bogus e-mails from you?
    If the latter, there are a number of reasons that people might be getting e-mail from you.  Malware, though technically possible, is extremely unlikely.  See Someone is sending messages from my e-mail address!
    If the former, that's rather unusual.  The only decent explanation I can think of is that a bunch of your Windows-using contacts got infected with something and their machines are being used to spam everyone in their contact lists, which would include you.

  • " device does not respond to is base address, do you want to continue ?" OR " Le périphérique ne répond pas à l'adresse de base"

    Environment :
    NI-DAQ 6.9.3
    PCI-6025 E Card
    LabPC1200 Card
    PCI serial interface card
    AGP video Card
    Measurement & Automation explorer 2.0
    After using the PCI-6025 E during an hour with the Measurement & Automation explorer 2.0 software, the message :�Le périphérique ne repond pas à l�adresse de base, voulez vous continuer?� or « the device does not respond to is base address, do you want to continue ? »
    All the informations , even in the System Configuration Panel, seem to be in order. It seems that the problem occurs after I have tried to use also the Lab PC 1200 by the way of the Measurement & Automation explorer 2.0.
    I have tried to:
    � restart the software,
    � stop the PC and restart it after a while,
    � uninstall NI-DAQ 6.9.3 and all NI softwares
    � Install NI-DAQ 7
    The same problem was always here.
    � stop the PC remove all the Cards except the video card
    � restart the PC
    � stop the PC and put only the PCI-6025E Card
    The same problem was always here.
    � uninstall NI-DAQ 7 and all the NI softwares
    � stop the PC and remove the PCI-6025E Card
    � Install NI-DAQ 6.9.3
    � Stop the PC and install the PCI-6025E Card in another PCI Slot.
    The same problem was always here.
    I have each time try to change the number of the card by the use of Measurement and automation explorer 2.0 but with no success.
    How can I do to use again this card?
    I really thank you for any response.

    Hey Nicolas,
    Try opening up the Reset Device.vi inside of LabVIEW and execute the VI. All you have to do is set the correct device number and check that the error returned is 0 and not another error number. In many cases a crashed program can cause the devices to enter into an unsafe state that they need to be reset from.
    It is possible that you damaged the device and that it will need to be sent in for repair, but in most cases a reset will fix the issue. Also, try opening up MAX and right-click on Traditional NI-DAQ Devices under Devices and Interfaces and click on reset Traditional NI-DAQ. If that doesn't work try the Device reset under DAQmx as well.
    I hope this helps out.

  • Firefox 4.0 freezes, crashes, closes, changes screens, does not respond, and runs 8X SLOWER than 3.6.

    Firefox 4.0 is the WORST browser I have ever seen. It freezes, crashes, closes, changes screens, does not respond, and runs 8X SLOWER than 3.6. Tasks I used to do in 30 minutes, now takes me 40 minutes or more. I went back to 3.6 and immediately had a tremendous improvement.
    Mozilla needs to get rid of this load of lies about a new crap program, and go back to the 3.6 version. Version 4.0 is WORST than any other program I have ever seen.

    The slow / hesitant scrolling problem seems to be an artifact of the database Firefox uses to keep track of where you go, what you do, etc. It uses sqlite databases which get fragmented over time.
    There are several fixes:
    Some are add-ons and work internally, such as Vacuum Places (search the addons for it).
    Some are external. Speedyfox is one I just tried, and found to work quite well. I think it did a better job than Vacuum Places, but requires Firefox to be shut down before it can work properly.
    Find Speedyfox using a web search.

  • Recently my track pad (in my Mac Book Pro) does not respond to 'clicking' commands.

    Recently my track pad (in my Mac Book Pro) does not respond to 'clicking' commands.  It does just fine with a USB cable mouse.  What do I do?

    Are you tapping to click or physically clicking? If you're clicking, does the trackpad button go down all the way?

  • I have a Mac Book Air and firefox froze and my trackpad does not respond what should I do?

    On the top left corner when any new window is opened (the red, yellow, and green) the maximize, minimize and close buttons, the red button isn't active however a rectangle separate window opened up with just two options: Cancel and OK- the OK button is flashing blue for my pointer to click on, when I do it doesn't respond and I can't open a new window to firefox because it won't let me, I tried restarting my computer but it won't let me because that application is still running it says to close it first and than I can restart however it still does not respond, so whats going on?

  • The iBook store icon: store does not respond to touch. I have bought three books before. Now it does not work.

    I am trying to buy an ebook from the iBook store on my iPad mini. The icon for the store in iBooks does not respond to the touch.

    Have you tried resetting your iPad?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • I have trouble with hotmail because javascript does not respond! How do I fix

    Whenever I use hotmail on firefox, my e-mail get hung up because java script does not respond. How do I fix this.

    This is the situation with Snow Leopard and existing iCloud accounts:
    You will be able to access email and calendars on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
    You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
    You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
    You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
    Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point.
    Address Book won't sync: this page has a convoluted hack to make it sync which has been reported as working (and as not working by others). I've not tried it.
    There are a couple of alternative syncing services you might like to consider, though they're not particularly cheap:
    Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.
    Fruux syncs Calendars, Tasks and Contacts beetween a wide variety of devices (not using the iCloud server) including Snow Leopard and above, Windows Outlook and Thunderbird, Linux Thunderbird, and iOS and Android devices - see their compatibility chart (click the blue 'i' for a caveat about Snow Leopard). It's free for one user, two shares, two devices; above that pricing starts at €4 per month.
    (I have no connection with these firms and have not tried Soho Organizer, though both have had good reports and I've found Fruux to work well.)

  • Adobe Reader Does Not Respond in Windows 8

    I need to do a simple edit of a pdf. I've been editing pdfs using nothing but the free Adobe reader for years. Now I got a new laptop - 64 bit Windows 8 and I installed the current reader. I need the Adobe reader for other programs I work with.  I have noticed that the adobe reader is slow to open and constantly says "not responding." I also cannot get it to respond so that I can fill in a form (i.e., a basic edit), which I could always do.  Please tell me how to fix this!

    I figured it out!  I have Adobe Reader XI on my desktop. I opened it up. I went to Edit/Preferences/Security (Enhanced) and disabled the "Protected Mode at startup." My Adobe pdfs now respond and I can edit them without issue.
