fiddledum,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I would recommend that you check out Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther, by Kurt Lang.
Another possibility is to Quit Address Book, find the com.apple.AddressBook.plist in the ~Library/Preferences Folder. Drag it to the Desktop, and log out/in or restart.
Attempting to install a newer version as you have discovered will not work.

  • Mailing List I made up disappeared from the address book after I got out of the address book.

    I made up a mailing list with all my families emails in it. I got out of the address book and when I went into it again later, the mailing list I just made up was not there.

  • My motherboard blew up and I have the hard drive. How do I copy the address book to a new installation on a new computer from the old hard drive?

    I have the old hard drive in a USB case and connected to the new computer. I have firefox installed and need to have the address book (critical) copied over and inserted to be the address book information on the new computer. I am hoping there is a file that I can overwrite easily?

    Are you talking about emails?
    Because the list of emails is saved in email provider

  • Address Book vCard export includes Notes, even when I turn off the option.

    When I do an export of an individual vCard, it exports the notes field, even though I have that box unchecked in preferences. I will uncheck the box again and after I do the export I notice the program has re-checked the box automatically. If I look at the exported vCard it will includes the notes field. How do I do an export and exclude the notes field?

    V.K. -
    Thanks for the help. I tried both methods with the same results. I then tried deleting both files at the same time and also the file com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist, then emptying the trash and re-launching the program. I unchecked the box to export the notes field and it worked for the first export only. After a second export the box was checked again and the vCard had the notes field.
    I was wondered if it was related to Mobile Me, but I looked on my Powerbook which also has OS X 10.5.8, Address Book 4.1.2, and is also synched and the exports are working fine there (no export of the notes field).
    Any other ideas? Everything is backed up with Time Machine, so I wouldn't mind nuking the whole thing.

  • TS1424 Itunes error message on Windows 8:  Itunes has stopped working, then slams off the program!  Help??

    I cannot get my new Windows 8 computer to connect to Itunes store!  It shuts off Itunes every time, just saying the program has stopped working
    Any suggestions?

    I had this exact same problem.  I found this fix and it worked for me. 
    Step 1:
    Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll. 
    Step 2:
    Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Hope this helps you.  I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
    Good Luck.

  • How to get the Domain Name of recipient Email ID when the recipient in the Address Book

    Hi All,
    I am new in Outlook Development and I have stuck in a situation, please find below the situation:
    I want to get the recipient domain address when someone is sending the email. Now, the thing is that I am facing the issues when the Email Id is in the address book. For an example "John Smith @live.com" is the email ID but when this email is in
    the address book it shows "John Smith ".  I’m trying to read out the email address from an Exchange connected Outlook in time of sending the email.
    So, my question is how I can get the domain in this situation?
    Thanks in Advance..

    Hi,
    Based on my research, there is no way to change the behavior on Outlook side. Email addresses are resolved to user names by Exchange server which is expected by design.
    I'd recommend you post a new question in the Exchange forum to see if we can achieve the goal on Exchange side. For your convenience:

  • How do you bcc groups from the address book in MAC OS X?

    I am tryign to do a group email from the address book in MAC OS X, everytime I highlight and drag the contacts to my email they don't attached. The only way it appears to work is when I email group but this goes into the TO field.
    Any ideas in what I can do?

    Mea culpa.  Yes, the Cc/Bcc disclosure button IS to the left. I mis-typed that. (stupid keyboard!)
    I'm at a loss as to why this is not working for you.
    I will tell you the versions of the players involoved that I am using are:
    • OS X 10.8.1
    • Mail 6.0
    • Contacts (Address Book) 7.0
    And while I realize that you are running OS X 10.7.4, the process has been similar for some time now.
    I would run Software Update and make sure that my System, Mail and Address Book apps are all up to date. That is NOT to say you should upgrade to Mt. Lion, just ensure that there are no outstanding updates available for your current setup.
    Then run Disk Utility and perform the Repair Permissions routine on your startup disk. When that process is finished, reboot your machine and run the Mail app again.
    It would be nice if it's just a permissions issue or can be fixed with a software update.  Let us know if any of this helps.

  • Adding Address2 line into the Address Book template

    Need to add Address2 for Suite numbers in the address book. How is this accomplished?

    You can use the return key in Line 1 to have a 2-line address. Doing this doesn't move you to a new field. Presumably you can add a third line in a similar way. This is often needed with UK addresses which are many lines long.
    This is of course not a change in the template, just in typing the entry.

  • How can I customise the fields shown in the main Thunderbird address book window?

    When I click the odd-looking icon (a book with an arrow?) at the top of the vertical slider, I get a list of only 13 fields. I can display, hide and rearrange these fields. But I cannot see how to access any of the other fields in the address book, which I would prefer to see in the main window.
    (I know the fields are there because, yes, I can see these fields for individual entries. Also they appear in an exported csv file.)

    Quit Address Book then delete ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb - it will be rebuilt from data in the ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata folder.

  • 'Notes' field within the Address Book is greyed out

    The 'Notes' field within the Address Book is greyed out. The resolution seems simple enough yet this does not work: "Select the person in the Name column in Address Book, then click the Note field in the card."
    It's still grey after doing so and data cannot be entered into the 'Notes' field.
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    You'll want to post this in the Mail & Address Book forum. That link will take you to the Mail & Address Book forum for Tiger, and there is a link at the top of the page to the Mail & Address Book forum for Panther and earlier if you need to go there.

  • When I access the address book, how can I copy an address without having to open the person's info in the edit window?

    When I find a person's address in the address book and highlight their name in one pane, in the lower pane their info shows up. Unfortunately, highlighting the information I want is disabled. So, I open their info in the edit window, and then click on the appropriate tab.
    Getting a single piece of information is not so inconvenient, but when you're putting together lists it is rather onerous to do it that way.
    Being able to highlight and copy off the address book panes would be cool. Thanks

    In an earlier communication, I had said that this was possible, at least with TB on Windows, but I realize now that it's only possible when a certain add-on is enabled: [https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook]
    http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/3_How_to_install_Add-ons_in_Thunderbird.html
    Install the add-on, and see if you can now highlight info in the Contact Pane by dragging the cursor. Ctrl-C (or the Mac equivalent) to copy the highlighted text to the clipboard.
    You may notice that right-clicking an address in the Contact Pane now shows a Copy command, but a bug in the add-on prevents this option from being active.

  • My wife has iCloud on our computer and I want to break out and create my own account. Once I build the account how do I copy the address book from her account into mine?

    my wife has icloud on our computer and I want to break out and create my own icloud account. I've built the account but can't figure out how to COPY our joint address book onto my account so I can then weed out my own addresses. Please help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    When you log out of the joint account, you should be asked if you want to keep the contacts, you do. When you log into your new account you should be asked if you want to merge contacts, you do.
    If you have already signed into your new account and not taken these options, the simplest thing to do might be to add your wife's account back as a secondary account in system preferences > mail, contacts & calendars. In groups in address book you can drag contacts from your wife's contacts onto your contact group to copy them.

  • My school has a website.  The professor uploads files in Word.  When I click on the link at home using Pages, the download window opens with nothing in it and Safari opens with a blank in the address book.  What Could be wrong?  Wrong set up?

    Hi Jo,
    If I'm interpreting this correctly, the Word file downloads correctly, but when you open it in Pages, the link(s) which your instructor has embedded in the Word file are not correctly translated into Pages.
    If the link shows the actual address, you should be able to copy that and paste it into the location bar in Safari, press return, and get to the website that way.
    An alternate route might be to download one of the open source Office applications, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice, or NeoOffice. These are written to more closely emulate the behaviours of MS Word than Pages, and may provide better support for links embedded in Word files.

  • Will the Address Book be improved in Leopard?

    Hello,
    I am intensively using the Address Book in Tiger to store all the contact information for my small business, and am starting to find its limitations.
    I would like to know which improvements are expected for the next version in Leopard. Depending on the answer I may have to consider moving to a more "professional" software like Entourage or Act, but I would strongly prefer not to!
    In particular, I would need to organize the Groups into folders or hierachies of groups. I already have more than 20 groups and it's not user friendly to browse them.
    I am also using Smart Groups that search into the Notes of each contact for flags like "TO CALL" or "TO MAIL". I hope there will be an integration with iCal.
    Thanks a lot,
    Felipe

    address book should make it easier to input different names and
    titles within the same company. now i find i have to retype the
    address lines each time i enter different people in the same company.
    Agreed but to make this process a little easier, after entering the first contact with a particular company, to add additional contacts with the same company and address, copy/paste the first contact to duplicate it and Edit the duplicated contact to change the new contact's name and telephone number, etc. Prevents having to retype the company address at least.

  • How to print out a copy of the address book

    No longer going to be using the Blackberry pearl 8130. Heading to a different phone.
    I have never activated the email only used as a phone. Would like to printout a copy of my adress book.
    I have backed up the address book using the blackberry desktop manager, but I don't see any way to print out the address book
    Help

    there is not a way to print out the Backup file.
    You should sync your contact to outlook or outlook express and print it out from there.
    Additionally, printing out and manually re-entering all the contacts when you already have the electronic data would be a waste of time. Just sync your data to outlook then you can export your data back to the new device, according to whatever device you are getting.
