Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.6 Address book entries disappeared in upgradin toox x 10.6. Can I restore, retrieve the old entries?

I upgraded to snow leopard, mac os x 10.6. All entries in my Address Book disappeared. How do I retrieve or restore them?

Go to the Apple Store and have them install Snow Leopard if that's what you had on the old drive. If you did not have Snow Leopard then you need to purchase a copy:
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay

Installed snow leopard and lost 90 percent of Address Book entries

I just installed Snow Leopard and my Address Book now has only a very small percentage of the contacts I had. Is there any way to recover them? I'm ashamed to say I had not backed up this info. Thanks for any help!

The metadata folder has the same number of items as the current address book (68). The other contents of the .../application support/address book file are:
ABPerson.skIndexInverted
ABSubscribedPerson.skIndexInverted
AddressBook-v22.abcddb
AddressBook.data
AddressBook.data.previous
Configuration.plist
Images folder
lastImport.plist
MailRecents-v4.abcdmr
Metadata folder
Hmmm... Is the "AddressBook.data.previous" relevant here?
Thanks for your help.

I have an iPhone 4s. Suddnely for past two days, the contact names from my address book are disappeared. Has anyone came across this issue earlier and know the solution please?

Two iOS devices and a Snow Leopard Mac: trying to sync photos

My wife’s tech support group, that would be me , is failing in attempts to find an easy way to sync her photos between iPhoto on her Snow Leopard Mac and her two iOS 5 devices using iCloud.
The bottom line is how best to manage photos during a time all devices are not on iCloud.
Two problems:
1. She now has the two iOS devices reporting different numbers of pictures and slightly different albums. Shouldn't they be exactly the same?
2. Is it better to have her sync her Snow Leopard Mac to the iOS devices using iTunes or iPhoto.
Any basic tips appreciated. Including if this is not the correct Community for this post.
Thank you.

You are in the correct community for posting this question. Most people would never even think to ask. That's very thoughtful of you. Anyway .... to the point about syncing photos.
I do not use Photo Stream and use iCloud for very little as well. I still sync with iTunes because that works for me and I am used to doing it that way. I am running Lion on my MacBook so I have everything I need for iCloud, but .... This is how I do it.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Select iPhoto as the folder from which you want to sync.
Click on all of the albums, events, faces, that you want to sync.
Make sure that the Sync Photos heading is checked/selected.
Click on Apply or Sync in the lower right corner of iTunes

I have 3 macs. 2 are Lion, 1 I left Snow leopard so I can access data from my old Quicken Application that doesn't work with Lion. If I move to iCloud, will I no longer be able to access my MobileMe email on the Snow Leopard mac?

What version of word do you have? The TS3938 sounds like it's a PowerPC app- written for an old architecture that is no longer supported in Lion. If this is the case, your files are fine- you just need a newer version of word that will run in Lion in order to open them. The newest version (2011) should be readily available anywhere, and has worked fine for me ever since I switched to Lion on release day....

Make dual boot Lion and Snow Leopard Mac ???

I have a SSD for my MBP. I formatted it with two partitions and installed snow leopard on each. I also have a 400 GB HDD that has snow leopard on it. I'd like to trade out my optical drive for the SSD. I'd like to update one SSD partition to Lion, then use the software and data files from the HDD for both snow leopard and Lion. That way I hope to still use the snow leopard software that is not compatible with Lion (I still have some legacy PPC programs) and have the benefit of new Lion only software.
Can I do this? If so what do I have to do? Any resources with HOW-TO for this sort of thing??
2009 MBP with 10.6.8

Do you have any tips for making your home folder stay on the HDD and still get the files I need on each SDD partition?
I assume you are talking about application-specific data like preferences. Most stuff is kept in your home dir. You really have to know which apps are exceptions that put stuff in /Library and other boot disk related places (e.g., kexts). I always keep careful records of what goes where from anything I add to my system so I know how to handle this. Generally though I suppose Migration Assistant helps most users (I never used it).
One scheme you might do is simply ignore the problems until they occur on a app-by-app-basis. If you run from one of the boots and something you use needs a kext or registration because its not on your common home dir, then install as needed or reregister as needed. Preferences can easily be respecified (or dragged from a backup if you know what to look for and where).
Most of your stuff in your home dir will run as it did before if the stuff doesn't use any boot directories. But as I said in my first post there is that risk that some apple-specific data bases might have changed going from Snow Leopard to Lion like those Mail and Address Book examples. No way of know that until you try. Hence the emphasis on backups.
If there are some user-specific data that has changed between Snow Leopard and Lion (say, it's Mail or Address Book) then this whole common-home-for-both-snow-leopard-and-lion scheme needs to be rethought. As I said earlier, it has always worked within a single OS family and I don't recall even having any problems up to Snow Leopard. But the jury is still out on Snow Leopard to Lion.
With respect to applications you want to put on the SSD, that's your choice. What do you use the most and launch most often? Put them on your SSD if you wish. Thinking out loud -- maybe consider a relatively small third partition for these apps on the SSD. It would appear as just another mounted volume on your desktop and then you would have only a single instance of those apps for both boots. Most apps don't need to be in /Applications. Those that do of course would have to have two instances, one for each boot.

Program fails in Krb5LoginModule on Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6)

Hi,
FWIW, I've already file a bug report with Apple for this, but maybe you can help me. We have a program that authenticates against Active Directory using Krb5LoginModule. It's been working for years under Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and FreeBSD, but under Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), using JRE 1.6.0_15 it fails with the following stack trace:
09:16:36,451 ERROR LoginDialog:225 - Password check failed: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: EncryptionKey: Key bytes cannot be null!

     at de.unikoeln.rrz.uklanadmin.services.LoginService.checkPassword(LoginService.java:47)I've read the source and found that pre-auth works. Actually that's all we care about, we don't need the keys at all! But this call in Krb5LoginModule fails:
              // update keys after pre-auth
              encKeys = EncryptionKey.acquireSecretKeys(
               password, principal.getSalt());Please refer to http://openradar.appspot.com/radar?id=76405 for more details.

Thanks. I'd already set debug=true in the config file (and with map.put in your example). Apple does indeed use /Library/Preferences/edu.mit.Kerberos instead of /etc/krb5.conf. I can see that the settings there are picked up by programs I run in the Terminal, e.g. kinit. I'm not so sure they're picked up by the JDK. I have tried to set permitted_enctypes to just des-cbc-crc, but that didn't seem to have any effect.
As for your code example, the result is exactly the same (as I had expected). krb5.initialize() works fine, but in login(), at exactly the same spot in the source, I get exactly the same stack trace. For reference, it's this block in attemptAuthentication():
669                   // We can't get the key from the keytab so prompt
670                   if (encKeys == null) {
671                       promptForPass(getPasswdFromSharedState);
672
673                       encKeys = EncryptionKey.acquireSecretKeys(
674                           password, principal.getSalt());
675
676                       if (isInitiator) {
677                           if (debug)
678                               System.out.println("Acquire TGT using AS Exchange");
679                           cred = Credentials.acquireTGT(principal,
680                                                   encKeys, password);
681                           // update keys after pre-auth
682                           encKeys = EncryptionKey.acquireSecretKeys(password,
683                                                           principal.getSalt());
684                       }
685                   }The call in line 673 succeeds, but the one in line 682 fails. The reason is in this method:
    182       public static EncryptionKey[] acquireSecretKeys(char[] password,
183           String salt, boolean pa_exists, int pa_etype, byte[] pa_s2kparams)
184           throws KrbExceptionThere it's this part:
204           EncryptionKey[] encKeys = new EncryptionKey[etypes.length];
205           for (int i = 0; i < etypes.length; i++) {
206               if (EType.isSupported(etypes)) {
207 encKeys[i] = new EncryptionKey(
208 stringToKey(password, salt, pa_s2kparams, etypes[i]),
209 etypes[i], null);
210 }For one of the values in etype[], the stringToKey method returns null. The source code is taken from OpenJDK. It's not available with Sun's JDK, so I haven't been able to step through that part in the debugger.

Migration of files from Snow Leopard Mac to Mavericks Mac

Ethernet cable connection.
Mavericks Mac.
The window: Select the information to transfer - Choose which information you'd like to to transfer to this Mac.
"Checking "My Name" computer", which is the Snow Leopard Mac
Spinning pin wheel, and the Continue button is dim.
Snow Leopard Mac.
The Migration Assistant window: Connect to the other Mac.
"Looking for other computers".
Spinning pin wheel, and the Continue button is dim.
Now my question is, has the Mavericks Mac made a successful connection to the Snow Leopard Mac and because of the 300/350GB of files on it, the Mavericks Mac is taking a long time locating the files that would be transferable? If so, how long should "Checking "My Name" computer" take before I will be able to select what I wish to transfer? And how long would it take to transfer 300/350GB via ethernet cable connection?

Ended up making a connection via Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter.
Restarted SL Mac in target disk mode.
Had to restart Mav Mac and after a bit of fiddling around, a connection was finally made. Info is now being transferred from the SL Mac to the Mav Mac.
Three to four hours to go.

You have to consider the possibility the hard drive may be dying. If your data isn't backed up, try one of the tools below:

Once you are sure your data is backed up, we can examine other possibilities. In the meantime call AppleCare for your original installation DVDs. You may need them.
