Search on the address book do not responds

Hi! I´m a begginer and I have an issue with my address book. After add a couple of birthdays (which are synchronized with iCal), search on the address book do not responds.
Anyone Knows anything about that?
Thanks!

I found the solution. The answer is just unmark "sync contacts with icloud" on system pref, select "delete contacts from your mac". And then turn on "sync contacts with icloud". Thas All.
PD: don´t forget to check all your contacts back up on icloud.com

  • Apple address book is not responding -can i delete the application , and then reinstall it

    on my imac apple address book is not responding -can i delete the application and then reinstall it - all contacts are backed up to icloud

    If you have in mind backup, I would not count on iCloud backup, just go to ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book. In Lion, ~/Library is available by pressing Option key when selecting Go while in the finder. Backup that folder.
    Deleting that app will create further troubles. When a basic Apple app bahaves like that, you should better identify why it behaves like that, it may mean a more serious system issue. Is this the only app, which presents this problem? If yes, rather delete its associated plist file in ~/Preferences (the same location, press Option when selecting Go).
    Do regular backups of your data, choose a backup app you consider appropriate and proceed. When you are familiar with its reactions, you may then ‘play’ with deleting the partition and install/reinstall.

  • 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.

  • Urgent HELP needed: Address Book will not start, just spinning wheel.

    When I want to start the Address Book I just get the spinning wheel without end.
    If I press: Command-Option-Esc to force-quit the application I am informed that the Address Book is not responding; I can only force-quit the application.
    Since my AB data is also on MobileMe and another computer, I could, if necessary, delete whatever data files (and repopulate later). But how do I get Address Book working again?
    Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks, Veit

    Thanks, Roam, for the referral to Pacifist; sounds useful in the future.
    I could solve my problem by:
    - deleting the com.apple.AddressBook.plist file
    - resetting the synchronization files as described in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10868689&#10868689
    - and finally syncing with MobileMe, i.e. overwriting the computer with data from MobileMe.
    All seems to work again, also the resizing. Thanks again for your help. Cheers, Veit

  • Address book will not sync with outlook

    I have a bb curve 8530. My desktop PC runs windows 7 and Outlook. The address book will not sync with outlook. The calendar function, however, will sync with outlook. The error messages are:
    "Runtime error: unable to locate application in system table. The product may not be installed properly; run the installer and choose repair."
    Or, "Intellisyncy error encountered 0x8004fff."
    or, "unable to complete synchronization."
    I have pulled out the battery of the 8530 to try a hard reset. I have reloaded on my PC the latest software from the BB website. I have reset and configured synchronization settings multiple times in every possible order. I have deleted from my outlook contacts any large files. I do not know what the installer the error message refers to.
    Thanks, David

    you cant reset your PIN, it is hardcoded into the BB
    where is your PIN missing?
    when it syncs the calendar, does it look like it syncs but nothing actually happens, no errors?
    or does it crash with an error?
    on your BB go to options- advanced options- default services
    make sure facebook is not set for CICAL

  • Address book does not launch and does not sync to iphone

    When I had upgraded to 10.5.4, the permissions from my user profile got corrupted. Since then I have created another profile and rebuilt permissions. Now the address book is not launching, it just bounces in the dock and nothing happens. Also when I try to sync my iphone i get an error saying i don't have permissions to carry out a operation and it quits out. i think it has to do with the address book not launching. Is this a permissions problem or another quirky thing because of this 10.5 OS??
    Thanks in advance

    I'm not sure what you mean by your "user profile." Do you mean you recreated a new user account along with a new home folder?
    If you create a second account, can you launch the Address Book from that one?
    If you cannot launch Address Book at all, you may need to reinstall OS X.

  • Messenger Express: How do I add the Directory Server to the address book search tool?

    In Messenger Express (ME) how do I add the Directory Server (DS) to the address book
    search tool?
    <P>
    Edit the globals.pl file. Look for a line similar to: <BR>
    @dirservers = ('MyCompany::phonebook.foo.com::o=FooCorp.,c=US','Four11 Directory::ldap.four11.com::');
    <P>
    Add an entry to the list. The list is comma delimited and each entry is a
    string. The string contains three fields, delimited by a double colon (::). The
    first field is the name you want to appear in the User Interface (UI). The second is
    the hostname of the DS and the third is the Distinguished Name (DN) to use when searching.
    <P>
    Please note, Messenger Express is part of the Messaging Server. For more

    You can't add a new contact to specific group and there is no app for this. 3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone APIs with security concerns being a primary reason, which such a function would require.

  • Cannot send some emails from the address book. Comcast says it is not a server problem.

    Keep getting this message when trying to send a group email from the address book -"The size of the message you are trying to send exceeds a temporary size limit of the server. The message was not sent, try to reduce the message size or wait some time and try again. The server responded: 4.1.1... temporary failure."
    Comcast has checked it - the issue is not the server they say. This problem just started 4 days ago. It appears other people have this problem on the thunderbird forum and it has not been resolved yet.

    The Comcast server is issuing the error message. Have them explain how this is not their problem.

    Try this...
    have a text convo with the person you want to delete. Go to the top contact in the text convo, hit edit contact, and delete that contact.
    That resolution came from another thread on this issue, and this did solve to poster's issue.

  • Printing notes in the Address Book

    I would like to print a page including the notes in the address book for a particular addressee. The style in the print window lists only mailing labels, envelopes, lists or pocket addresses, none of which prints out the notes in a line by line format as shown on the screen page in the address book. I have been highlighting the entire name address, etc. with the notes and transferring it to a word processing file for printing or have been snapping a picture of the page with the command + shift + F-3 keys but these seem to be awkward solutions to what should be a straight forward print job. What am I doing wrong?

    That's been my frustration as well. I wanted to pdf all my contact info to carry with me on a USB key in case I needed something from the Note section. The iPhone truncates the note section to about the first 2,500 characters. So if you have contacts with long Notes you've got a problem. I thought a had a work-around, but pdf'ing the Contacts didn't work because it won't print more than 1 page per contact and prints the partial Note in two narrow columns, truncating the rest of the Note. I can't believe more people haven't complained about this. Before migrating to Address Book (I used Outlook), I made extensive use of the Note section.

  • 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.

  • HOW TO SEND PERSONALIZED EMAILS (WITH SAME MESSAGE) TO ALL ADDRESSES IN THE ADDRESS BOOK - WITH RECIPIENTS SEEING ONLY THEIR NAME BUT NOT WHO ELSE IS GETTING IT

    HOW TO SEND PERSONALIZED EMAILS WITH THE SAME MESSAGE, BUT WITH THE INDIVIDUAL RECIPIENT'S NAME... (OR NAME AND THE EMAIL ADDRESS) TO ALL ADDRESSES IN THE ADDRESS BOOK - WITH RECIPIENTS SEEING ONLY THEIR OWN NAME WITHIN THE BODY OF THE MESSAGE TO THEM ?
    ALSO, HOW TO ELIMINATE ALL THE OTHER NAMES FROM THE LIST - SO THEY CAN NOT SEE WHO ELSE IS ON THE MAILING LIST, AND WHO ELSE IS GETTING THE SAME MESSAGE?

    In the csv file, the column headers must match the the special references in curly brackets.
    So you either change the column header in .csv file or the bit in the curly brackets in the Template email.
    To change the column header:
    In the example shown below, I wanted to use the first two columns
    'First Name', 'Last Name' note the exact spelling.
    I also wanted the email address which was in a column called 'Primary Email'.
    To make it easier for me, I copied the Primary Email column and inserted it into the third column position and then changed the column header name from 'Primary Email' to 'Email'. (This meant I still had the original column header just in case). see image below.
    But you could just change the column header name from 'Primary Email' to 'Email' without moving column about - up to you.
    At this point check that all the contacts do have a valid email address.
    then save the file.
    If you do not want to edit the .csv file, then you need to edit the template email.
    eg: {{First Name}} {{Last Name}} <{{Email}}>
    change to : {{First Name}} {{Last Name}} <{{Primary Email}}>
    If still having an issue, please post two images.
    One image needs to show the row of column headers used in .csv file.
    The other image needs to show the Template email, so I can see how you have used the curly brackets.

  • How do I turn off searching from the address bar. Setting keyword.enabled to false is not working.

    I never want to search from the address bar. I've been able to turn off this horrible annoying feature in the past by setting "keyword.enabled" to false but this no longer seems to work. Is there any way to fix this so that searching from the address bar never happens with any search engine?

    If you set keyword.enabled to false, then what Firefox normally does is check whether your address bar entry is a valid server name (first DNS lookup) and, if not, it will try fixup (e.g., www.+''what you typed''+.com) (second DNS lookup).
    If you get search results, particularly if you get results from some site other than your preferred search engine, there are two possible explanations:
    (1) DNS provider hijack.
    There are some service providers that do not answer the DNS lookups honestly and instead will divert you to their own page of search results. In that situation, there sometimes is a link on the page to opt out, either right there, or behind an explanation (why do I get this page?) or a settings link. You may have to look around. Or if your service provider won't let you opt out, you might need to switch to using OpenDNS or Google Public DNS.
    You probably should also check your connection setting it case that has been modified:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
    Try "No proxy" here to see whether that helps.
    (2) Bad add-on.
    Some extensions will divert honest DNS misses to their preferred search site. Here's what I suggest for cleaning out bad add-ons:
    (A) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Add/Remove Programs. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    (B) Then, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    (C) Search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. Note that the tools are free and take considerable time to run. If they seem to finish quickly and then ask for payment, you might have a Fake AV infection. Please use the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
    Success?
