Recovery of address-book content

Hi, I recently installed Leopard. I did the install as an upgrade. I found that I was getting many of the problems experienced by many other people. I then proceeded to re-install using erase and install. Since then I have had no problems to date, however I now find that I have a blank address book! This was to be expected doing a silly thing like this. Time machine had created several backups prior to my re-installation. How can I use Time Machine to recover my contacts.
Hoping that you can help Mel.

Open Address Book and then click on the Time Machine icon in the dock. Once you are in the Time Machine browser you should see Time Machine's version of Address Book. Go back in time to before you wiped your hard drive. Once you see all your contacts choose Restore All from the bottom bar. I've not tried it but this should be the correct procedure.
If that doesn't work quit Address Book and try replacing the AddressBook folder on your main hard drive with the one that is in the Time Machine files via the finder. Pick from a Time Machine backup that contains all your contacts. The AddressBook folder is in your hard drive > Users > your user folder > Library > Application Support.

  • How to move Mail and Address book content from 10.3 emac to 10.5 iMac

    How do I move Mail and Address book content from my old 10.3 emac to my new 10.5 Leopard iMac directly, or do I have to move the names etc, one by one?
    Richard

    I cannot find a migration assistant. I have copied the Mail and Address Book applications over from 10.3 to 10.5 and tried using mailboxes import, but 10.5 Mail will not accept any of the options. The same for address book. Can you give more specific instructions?
    The applications, Mail and Address Book, don't actually store your data in the application. So, moving the applications over to your new computer will have no useful effect and could be detrimental if you replaced the newer versions with the old.
    Migration Assistant is in you Utilities folder and should have asked to be run during the installation.
    Your Mail data is stored in yourUserName/Library/Mail. The Address Book data is stored in yourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook. If your new installation is blank with no data, you can actually replace those directories on the 10.5 version with the old. For Mail, you also have to get the com.apple.mail.plist file from your old username/Library/Preferences/ folder and put it in the new 10.5 folder of the same name. Once that is done, when you open Mail and Address Book, they will update the data to the new format.
    Migration Assistant will do all of this for you.
    EDIT: Based on roam's comments, you may have to move the Mail manually. You can also just bring the Mail directory over to the 10.5 machine and use Mail's Import command to get all the mail out of the old Mail directory.

  • How to export Address Book content as Unicode with applescript?

    Hello,
    I have a problem for exporting address book content. I'd like to export "My Card" to a vcf file and use another application to read it. So I have the following applescript:
    *+tell application "Finder"+*
    *+set theFolder to folder "TemporaryItems" of folder "Caches" of folder "Library" of home+*
    *+end tell+*
    *+tell application "Address Book"+*
    *+set theVcard to (vcard of my card) as Unicode text+*
    *+set theFile to (theFolder as text) & "myCard.vcf"+*
    *+set theFileHandle to open for access theFile with write permission+*
    *+-- write (ASCII character of 254) to theFileHandle+*
    *+-- write (ASCII character of 255) to theFileHandle+*
    *+write theVcard to theFileHandle+*
    *+close access theFileHandle+*
    *+end tell+*
    OK, now the problem is that if "My Card" has any double-byte characters like Chinese or Arabic, the output file will just hold some question marks ("??"). The code works in Tiger but not Leopard. (Add char 254 and 255 just to make it a UTF16-BE file. So it doesn't really change the result of this script.)
    I started digging and guess here is the reason: in the following statement the "vcard of my card" will always return plain text:
    +*set theVcard to (vcard of my card) as Unicode text*+
    I got this clue from the help of ScriptEditor:
    +*vcard (text, r/o) : Person information in vCard format, this always returns a card in version 3.0 format.*+
    But in Tiger, you can see:
    +*vcard (Unicode text, r/o) : Person information in vCard format, this always returns a card in version 3.0 format.*+
    Any workaround to solve this problem?
    (And if this is not the right place to ask such question, please just let me know.)
    Thanks a lot!
    Calvin

    Hello Calvin,
    Since your code works under OSX10.4 and fails under OSX10.5, the cause would be the change made in AppleScript 2.0.
    Try -
    write theVcard as Unicode text to theFileHandle
    instead of -
    write theVcard to theFileHandle
    The read/write commands in AS 2.0 have been change so that they will always interpret the text in system's primary encoding if 'as Unicode text' is not specified in commands' parameter.

  • IChat deleted Address Book contents during .Mac sync?

    This evening, my iChat app froze during a .Mac sync. I gave it a minute or two to try to "thaw", but since that didn't happen, I force quit it. When it restarted it, all my contact names were gone, reverted to their regular AIM names.
    Of course, this was after iChat give me the initial setup windows, as if the computer was brand new.
    It turns out that my entire Address Book contents had been wiped, the only address card present being the info I supplied about myself in the iChat setup dialogue!

    First, Close Address Book
    Open ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook. (~ = your home folder)
    Create an archive of AddressBook.data.previous
    Then, log into .mac and see if your Addresses are still available in your online Address Book. If so, open your dot mac preferences, go to Advanced, and do a "Reset Sync Data" allowing your .mac address book to overwrite your local address book.
    If your Addresses are not available online:
    Open ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook. (~ = your home folder)
    Drag AddressBook.data to your desktop.
    Rename AddressBook.data.previous to AddressBook.data
    Open Address Book. If you're lucky your addresses, as they were prior to your last edit, should be back.

  • Why can't I see my address book contents in Icloud?

    I was under the impression that the contents of my address book would migrate across to iCloud!  I have the iCloud account selected under 'Preferences' in my Address Book and I have deleted and added my iCloud account to also try and activate the migration, but to no success.  Really now questioning why I am paying for an iCloud account when it does not do what it appears it should do!  I have 2 macs running currently: an IMac and a Mac Book Air, both running Lion 10.7.3; I have dleted the iCloud account on my MacBook Air to just try and run the migration on the IMac, but again no joy.  Somebody (preferably a MAC employee as you guys are the ones that should be helping) help me please?  Thanks.

    Music is not backed up in iCloud.
    If you have iTunes Match enabled it is stored online by that service but iCloud is not involved.

  • Deleted Address Book contents accidently. Now 'Previous Recipients'  grayed

    Hello all,
    I accidentally deleted all of the contents of the Address Book with a misplaced Select All/Delete. It still works fine. It's just empty.
    Now, from the Mail/Window/'Previous Recipients' window, each of the emails shows the little address book card on the far left side of the window (it think each email is in the address book). Thus, each email, when selected, grays out the 'Add to Address Book' button.
    However, each brand new email that I send shows up in the 'Previous Recipients' list without the little card to the left of the name and it's 'Add to Address Book' button works fine.
    How do I reset the entire list of the 'Previous Recipients' back to as if they were brand new so I can add them to the Address Book again.
    Thanks

    Hi Steve, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    If I understand correctly...
    In Mail>Window>Address Panel, Sect All, right click>Exort vCads, then in Address Book>File>Imort>vCards, select that file you just exported.

  • Where is address book content stored?

    Had a HD crash and have a backup but not sure which file is the one with the contents of the previous address book. Thanks for any help.

    Should be in /Users/YouUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook

  • How can I copy address book content from user 1 to user 2 in my iMac

    I have my iMac set up with 2 users. The address book is in user 1. I need to establish a copy of it in user 2 so that the icloud I have set up for that user icludes the address book. How can i copy the address book from user 1 to user 2?

    Are you sure you did that right ... because I did a File/Backup Address Book, and the file named included the date. I then copied the file through our Airport network from the Powerbook to a new iMac. The opening Address Book on the iMac, I did a File/Revert to Address Book Backup, which allows you to choose the file. Now the iMac had the same Address Book file as the Powerbook. This looks to me to be the same thing you are trying to do.

  • Merging Tiger Address book contents with ML Contacts

    Hi,
    Since late December I've been the proud owner of a (gorgeous new) 27" iMac. This has replaced my old G5 workhorse which is running Tiger. The two are running side-by-side until I get everything migrated and converted.
    For the past couple of months I've been adding new contacts, as they come in, to 'Contacts' on the iMac. However I have to bring over all my old contacts from Address Book on Tiger.
    With hindsight I guess I shouldn't have done it this way but attempeted to bring them all over on day one. But I'm here now and I have lots and lots on Address book in Tiger and some in Contacts on Mountain Lion. I need both sets.
    Any help as to how I can merge the two onto Contacts on the iMac will be much appreciated.
    (If it makes any difference I don't use mail.app by the way but my Contacts are synced with my iPad).
    Bob.

    On the Tiger machine, export the contacts as vCards. If you have notes, make sure to select the option to save the notes on export--I don't know if Tiger Address Book had those options. It should produce one vCard with all contacts in it, but it may make one for every card. I can't remember what Tiger will do.
    Back up Contacts on the new Mac using File>Export>Contacts Archive.
    Move them over to the new Mac and double-click the vCard to import them into Contacts. It should not ask you to replace them, but if it does, cancel the import.

  • My address book content had changed in sudden into some contact that i don't know. Now all my contact number is gone!!!Can anyone help me on this?

    Does this relate to any hacker?

    Do you maybe have your contacts separated into groups? If so, perhaps you have unchecked the group that the missing contact are in.
    In the Contacts app, click the Groups button in the upper left corner. Make sure all groups have a check mark next to them.

  • How does one import address book contents and ringtones?

    Hi, i've got a new iPhone, but can't figure out how to load up the contacts or import ringtones from iTunes. The instructions are not very clear, and even though there is a tab in iTunes for the iphone, clicking on it just makes it disappear. Anyone have any suggestions on how to set it up?
    Thanks.

  • Can't transfer address book or e-mail content from failed G5 iMac to new 21.5" iMac

    A friend's G5 iMac (running OS X 10.5.8 Snow Leopard) failed due to logic board problems. G5 hard drive is okay. A brand new 21.5" 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 iMac (with OS X 10.9.2 installed) was bought to replace the G5.
    All G5 data (e-mail, documents, etc.) was accessed and transferred cleanly except for address book content, by using the G5's drive in an external enclosure which was firewire-connected to a 27" 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 iMac running OS X 10.7.5 (Lion); data pulled from the G5's drive was transferred via the 27" iMac to USB flash drives and from there to the 21.5" iMac. Attempting to transfer the G5  Users/(username)/Library/Application Support/AddressBook  data files/folders "AddressBook-v22.abcddb", "MailRecents-v4.abcdmr" and "Metadata " (folder) to the corresponding locations of the 21.5" iMac resulted in no recognition of them on it.
    Are there files other than the above which should have been transferred, or is there a conversion process which should have been applied to the originals before transfer?

    Did you have AB Quit on the new Mac when you did it?
    You should be able to import Mailboxes on Mail, they're on the old drive in...
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail, after you click on that top folder, it'll show you a list of Mailboxes you can choose to import.
    Then in Mail you can Select All & choose Mail's Message menu item to Add Senders to Addrees Book... or whatever they call it now... at least

  • Lost mail settings, address book, ichat settings and other prsnl settings!!

    Quick question for you. Have you heard of anything in 10.4+ that causes the machine to revert back to startup condition loosing address book content, mail settings, ichat setttings, along with other personal settings??
    All of iphoto still has its content. You have any idea? This happened to my parents machine on the eastcoast and I am trying to figure out what happened. Supposedly my father was "doing something" and then they noticed this happened. Is there something he could have done to reset the settings like that? Thanks for any input.
    I have read a lot of posts that people are having the same kind of issue, at least with address book.

    Hey Jeremy, my iBook is all messed up, too. Somehow it set back to the default settings. Mail, Address Book, iTunes and iPhoto lost their data. However, all music and photo files are still in folders, only all of my emails are gone, which is more or less a catastrophe! Having read your discussion, I somehow have the impression that it has something to do with the user name, I wanted to change the name and then all of a sudden there was a big mess which resulted in having two users now, but all of the folders are mixed up. Can you be a little more precise about the repairing that worked for you, I would appreciate it very much, since I'm not very familiar with Apple products yet.
    Thanks, Daniel

  • How can I delete ALL of my Address Book entries and start fresh?

    Yes. I know that sounds extreme, but……
    I use Outlook on a PC at my office, and I have an sbcglobal/Yahoo mail account. I look upon my office Outlook as my ultimate contacts list (over 1,100 entries) and my calendar.
    I use the sbc supplied free Intellisync software to sync all of my calendar and contacts from my office PC into sbc/Yahoo. That way I actually get e-mail reminders of appointments, etc. in addition to my Outlook notifications. It is actually pretty nifty.
    I have also successfully signed-on to my Yahoo account at home on my MAC and exported all of my contacts from Yahoo (which had been populated by the PC Outlook listings via Intellisync) onto my desktop and then imported them into Address Book. But I did that some time ago and now my Outlook listings have been updated rather substantially. I would like to able to do a complete re-install of the new and improved contacts from the Yahoo repository.
    Again - I certainly do not want to delete the Address Book app itself – I just want to start with a clean slate so there are no conflicts or duplicate entries (which in fact is seemingly a bug in the Yahoo/Intellisync. Is there a way to completely wipe clean all of my Address Book entries?
    Thanks

    Hello Allan -
    Your help on a previous post was great re: my wanting to know how to delete the Address Book contents so I can re-import an updated list form my office Outlook, via my yahho/sbcglobal import.
    Well - here is an interesting quandary:
    I have successfully exported my yahoo address book/contacts as a .vcf file Yet - once I have expunged the prior Address Book data and want to now import the NEW Yahoo data to rebuild the database it only takes (enters) the phone numbers and does NOT import ANY of the address information. I am positive I did this once since our original exchange and everything transferred just fine, but now….?!
    What I cannot determine is where the fault may be: does the export NOT include the addresses (in which case I am doing something fundamentally stupid wit the export) or the vcf cards are complete, but Address Book is not “seeing” anything other than the phone #s and e-mail addresses.
    Any thoughts?
    Dazed and confused

  • How can I migrate from Outlook 2011 to iCal and Apple Address Book in Mavericks now that synching is no longer possible?

    Now that I am on Mavericks and no longer able to sync between my iPhone/iPad and Outlook 2011 on my MacBook Pro, I'm finally taking the leap (which I should have done long ago) and abandoning Outlook 2011 all together (doesn't help that Outlook now prompts me to rebuild by Identity multiple times per day). I am hoping to export from Outlook to iCal, Address Book, etc, but I would love it if someone could check my steps.
    Delete iCal and Apple Address Book content -- Because I have old data in iCal and Address Book (that was synched before I upgraded to Mavericks), I planned to delete this data as follows:
    Manually deleting my multiple calendars in the iCal app
    Go to Go>Home>Library>Calendars and drag "Calendar Cache" to trash
    Go to Go>Home>Library>Caches and drag "com.apple.iCal" and "com.apple.AddressBook" to the trash
    Go to Go>Home>Library>Application Support and drag "Address Book" to the trash
    Export Outlook 2011 Calendars to iCalIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into iCal? I will use this file format to individually export each of my calendars from Outlook 2011 and import them into iCal.
    Export Outlook 2011 Contact List to Apple Address BookIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into Apple Address Book?
    Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi acs4055,
    As per your query I found a relevant solution for resolving this,  actually I haven’t tried the steps you wrote here in your query.  But I found a solid key answer for exporting from Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.1) Outlook 2011 to iCal for Apple mail. This is possible through Drag and Drop method via this you can undoubtedly migrate Outlook 2011 Calendar to ical format.
    Hope it will assist you and you will be able to attain a desired solution.
