Problems with address book after upgrading to Lion.

I have lost all my contacts and if I try to add a new contact it's gone after I close and reopen the address book.
Same thing if I import for example my gmail contacts.
But there is more. If I add a new group I can't edit the new, so it's stuck as 'untitled group' (and gone if I quit the address book and reopen it).
..and If I add a new contact I can't edit it once it's added. I simply don't have the edit button.
Someone having the same trouble? Or any suggestions how to solve it?
Thanks!
(So this is after upgrading to Lion and with the new address book 6.0)

I'm a super loyal Apple customer for over 20 years. But I have to say, even though Apple has unparalleled customer service, their responsiveness to software issues is non-existent.
I had a problem with iMovie a couple of years back that involved 40 hours of hard work for a client, only to have all my work lost due to a software bug. Many, many others had the same issue. Apple never acknowledged the issue. I doubt that they will acknowledge this issue.
That's shameful.
I email to various groups, including a local residential group to which I add or subtract residents that move in and out of the neighborhood. AddressBook is now totally useless because I can't a new resident to the existing group! AddressBook 6 has been out how many months now? Not a peep from Apple with this issue!

Problem with Address Book after upgrade to 10.5.4

After upgrading to 10.5.4 I'm facing the problem, that Addressbook can't be used anymore.
Error: " Program can't be opened, because it is not supported by the architecture."
Is anybody having the same problem and how can can I reactivate Addressbook?
Thank you for your comments.

My parents are also having that same problem on their mac mini after updating to 10.5.4. Their Mail app is also giving the same error. I'll post back if I find an answer... and if anyone else knows how to resolve this problem, please let us know.

Problem with Dreamweaver CS4 after upgrade to Lion

I am having a problem after upgrading to Lion, with my Dreamweaver CS4 .

Problems with extrenal drive after upgrade to Lion

Hello,
after upgrading to Lion last week I am experiencing some problems with my LaCie 1 TB FireWire (800) external drive.
The problem is not that big however. When I delete files on the external drive they do not appear in the Trash Bin.
However when I unmount and again mount the partitions using the Disk Utility the deleted files do appear in the
Trash Bin. The external drive has 3 partitions: 2 X Mac OS X Journaled and one FAT. The above described problem
appers on all partitions. I performed repair and verify to all partitions but Disk Utility says that everything is OK! Any idea ?
P.S. With Snow Leopard I have never experienced such problem.
Thank you!

DiskWarrior is on
Step 5: Locating directory date...
Speed reduced by disk malfunction: 339,474, er make that 340,239, er make that 341,327....
should I stop it or keep going??!!!!

Problem with listing directory after upgrade to Lion

Hi all,
I have a script that I used for months that "suddenly" stopped working after i switched to OSX Lion
#target illustrator
var listFolder = Folder.selectDialog( "Select a folder", "~" );
alert(listFolder);
if ( listFolder != null )
var folders = new Array();
var files = new Array();
var folderCount = 0;
var fileCount = 0;
var fList = listFolder.getFiles();
for ( i = 0; i < fList.length; i++ )
   theFile = fList[i];
   if ( fList[i] instanceof File )
     files.push( fList[i] );
     fileCount++;
else {
     folders.push( fList[i] );
     folderCount++;
// Create a file that lists the folders and files
var reportFile = new File(listFolder + "/Filelist.txt");
reportFile.open("write");
reportFile.writeln("Folders:");
for (i = 0; i < folderCount; i++)
reportFile.writeln("\t" + folders[i]);
reportFile.writeln("Files:");
for (i = 0; i < fileCount; i++)
   reportFile.writeln("\t" + files[i]);
reportFile.close();
alert("Folders: " + folderCount + "\n Files: " + fileCount);
first alert returns file:///Volumes/e/TEST
second alert returns 0 even tho there is plenty of files/folders in the TEST folder
same script run from PS or ID works fine but the path returned looks like this:
~/Volumes/e/TEST
and second alert returns correct counts of files and folders.
What happened to my Illustrator?
Thanks in advance.
Matt

Matt, I saw your post over at PS Scripts… I did not respond as I don't have Lion… Personally don't upgrade until last version of OS's… I would suspect the in-built getFiles() function… Although I have no idea why Illustrator would only be effected… Have you tried passing a filter argument? Does it make any difference… eg:
getFiles('*.pdf');
I saw that you wanted the PDF files… I doubt this is going to change anything thou.

3 Problems with Address Book-- now considering Bento

I have 3 problems with Apple Address Book that make it close to unusable for me, so I'm considering buying Bento 3:
1. *Can't un-do accidentally deleted text*- When you click in the "Notes" section, it will select all the text there by default (instead of merely inserting the cursor). If you are not paying attention, and hit any other key when it is selected, it deletes everything in there. UN-DO will not un-do this. I've verified and reported this issue to Apple, but it has still never been fixed or formally addressed (aside from many complaints in the Apple forums).
2. *Search doesn't always work*- Yesterday I searched for one of my entries, Harbor Freight, by typing in the search "harbor". Nothing came up. I thought that maybe I never actually added this business and started with a new one. After I created the new one, I noticed that now, along with the new entry, the old contact suddenly showed up in the left column.
3. *Cards disappear*- Many complaints on the web about this. I do not do any syncing with MobileMe or any device. Occasionally, cards just seem to vanish. Sometimes the card is actually still there, but changes in the Notes field or other fields I made on a previous day were evidently not saved and gone. Very frustrating.
Here's my concern with using Filemaker Pro's Bento: if it's using and accessing the same database as Address Book, all these problems might end up also existing in Bento. I use Address Book for business and personal and heavily rely on the Notes section. I can't keep wasting my time with this.
I don't mind paying the $50 for Bento if it resolves these issues, but the shared database worries me. I guess that I could create an independent Bento database that is completely separate from Address Book, but then I don't know how well it would integrate with Apple Mail.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Dave

DON'T DO IT. DO NOT INSTALL BENTO. I bought & installed it on 01/20/10 and it destroyed my address book. Gone forever. If you are having problems with Address Book now, wait until you see the damage created by Bento! Bento does not replace Address Book. It is a 'supplement' (at best) and uses and updates every file in your Address Book without you even knowing it! Well, you notice it when your database is destroyed and you find all of your contacts under 'No Name'. I am so serious. Bento is just a shell. None of your addresses are actually stored in Bento. They remain in Address Book. Every time you open Bento, it accesses your address book database, and starts re-formatting and re-working every entry along with any 'changes' you make. And who do you call for help? Apple says 'not our program'. Filemaker says 'we don't know anything about Mac's'.....I lost four years of addresses for all of my customers. Gone. In seconds! Just don't do it. Don't install Bento. And be sure to remove any 'smart groups' you have created as it seems to be at the root of most problems one encounters with address book.

Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

My computer crashes repeatedly and I get the message pages are not responding do you want to stop, and/or shockwave is not responding do you want to stop. I have Windows XP Service Pack 3, I am having the same issues whether I use Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox. My HP Pavilion Desktop has 504 MB of Ram and I am using high speed internet connection. Because it was crashing so much, I used the uninstall program for Flash player to uninstall Flash, I checked my registry and removed anything I saw that was Flash. I then uninstalled Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, then I reinstalled the most recent versions from their websites. I did the same for FlashPlayer and Shockwave Flash. I went to the Adobe website and had them check to see if it was working and it shows I have FlashPlayer 10.3.181.36. The page that shows which version of flash player goes with Windows XP states that I should have 10.3.181.34 (This is what I thought I had before I updated, I was having the same problems). When I went into my computer to see what version I have, it shows 11.5.9.620 Activex and both Flash Player and Flash Player Object is listed as 10.3.181.34. My firewall for Windows is set to medium. I also am running Norton Internet Security. It takes anywhere from 3-6minutes for some of my games to load, and I have to refresh at least 3-4 times in order to play. When I do start to play it freezes frequently and I use escape to free it up. This has been going on for a month. I have no idea what to do. I am not very computer savy and I have been learning as I go.

Problem with Address Book and Exchange

Hello,
I have a little problem with Address Book and Microsoft Exchange 2003. I am able to connect to Outlook Web Access via Safari without problem. I see my contacts. Unfortunately when I setup everything needed in Address Book preferences (Synchronize with Exchange) the contacts didn't show in my Address Book. Strange thing is that no error is generated. can someone please help me what I am doing wrong ? Thanks in advance.

My suggestion is that you consider using Microsoft Entourage. For Exchange users on a Mac, Entourage is by far the best option. The down side is, you need to buy Microsoft Office 2004 to get Entourage, but your employer might own a site license, in which case, Office 2004 might not cost you anything.

Problems with IMAQ Vision after upgrading from Labview 6i to Labview 6.1

Hi,
We just upgraded from Labview 6i to 6.1.To do this,we uninstalled the 6i version as was suggested by NI and then installed the 6.1 version.Later when we tried to run the old vi's written using Imaq vision, we ran into different problems.Has anyone experienced any similar problems with IMaq vision after upgrading?If so please help me solve this issue.
Thanx
deepak

What kind of problems?
I would strongly suggest that you uninstall IMAQ (all elements) and reinstall them. They register with Windows, probably docked to 6i, and also must be recompiled, which I believe is done in installation.
This is your best bet.
If you still have problems, contact NI and ni.com/ask and start a support inquiry.

Problem with Java Script after upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI7

Dear Colleagues,
We're facing the issue with Java Script after upgrade of BW 3.5 to BI7.
Just after update we checked the basic functionality and it occured that some of web templates that use Java Script don't work. They generate seelction screen, but after selection the screen becomes blank without any error messages.
We're currently stucked since web templates weren't converted to BI7 version so they should work exactly as before the upgrade.
We compared the Java code with other environment that was not upgraded - it's perfectly the same.
The only explanation that comes to my mind is that some Java Script settings on the server level were changed during the upgrade but I have no idea where I can check that.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Andrzej Bobula

Hi Deepu,
Thanks, it was great to read your reply and then few minutes later talk to you live on SDN Day!
Unfortunately, http cache clean-up did not help. But there is another funny thing I found - for exactly the same 3.5 webtemplate html code returned from WebAS 3.5 was different then from 7.0.
Unfortunately, this editor does not allow to paste complete code, even in CODE brackets, but here are main differences:
<b>3.5</b>
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
<frame src="/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=E&PAGENO=1&REQUEST_NO=1&CMD=GET_TEMPLATE"
name="Content">
and
<b>7.0</b>
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet Explorer")!=-1)
<frame src="/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=E&PAGENO=8&REQUEST_NO=0&CMD=GET_TEMPLATE"
name="Content" 0nLoad="javascript:loadTitle()">
(I intentionaly put 0 i/o o in 0nLoad, otherwise Forum's editor does not accept the text.
How about SAP's claim that technical upgrade from 3.x to 7.0 changes nothing?

Vitaliy

Problem with dual boot after upgrade to Mountain lion

Hello Every One,
I have a Macbook pro from 2009 which had dual boot option Windows 7 + Snow Leopard.
The windows 7 had 2 partitions (C; and D: an extended partition).
I upgraded the OS X to Mountain lion. after upgrade the system showed 3 options at boot time. Mac, Windows and a recovery partition.
when i boot to windows the D: drive is gone...I mean even though i can see the partition in partition software, windows 7 stopped showing D: in "My computer".
So i used testdisk utility to get the D: drive back and now when i boot to mountain Lion i am able to access both C:(BOOTCAMP) and D: drives.
but now the problem is during boot time my Mac Book pro doesn't show the windows option.
Can some suggest a means to boot into windows 7? Also what is the purpose of recovery partition that Mountain lion adds to the system? I mean is it going to hurt if i get rid of it so that i can go back to my old configuration of 3 primary partitions (1 for windows 7 ...C: bootcamp + MountainLion) + 1 extended partition for D:
any help would be appreciated?
Regards
