The application Contacts does not allow me to add a New Contact

After adding a New Contact I suddenly discovered that once closed and reopened the Contacts application did not retain it. I then repeated the procedure three times. Yes, I remembered to click on Done after completing the entry.
Thank you for any assistance.

Thank you Barney-15E for your extremely prompt reply and CORRECT solution! I wasn't quite certain about the "syncing" factor, so, I did nothing there; however, when I went to "Application Support/AddressBook" I found three almost identical files:
AddressBook-v22.abcddb
AddressBook-v22.abcddb-shm
AddressBook-v22.abcddb-wal
I followed your instructions and deleted only the first which matched your suggestion, but I'm wondering what the other two are. By deleting the first item and then reopening Contacts, I was able to add a New Contact AND retain it!
All entries had been deleted, so of course, I simply imported the saved archive. I'm puzzled why it is that Apple uses the term "AddressBook" in Application Support when the application is now called "Contacts."
Again, thank you.

    Hi there,
    Does someone know in SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.
    Thanks,

    Hi，
    Per my knowledge,
    it is by design that the data type multiple lines of text can only use “contains” and “begins with” operators.
    You can also filter the list view using SharePoint Designer,
    Open your list AllItem.aspx page in SPD ->click “Filter” > in “Field Name” select your multipe line of text field, in “Comparison” will displayed four choices.

    Hi Nealeh
    Thanks i think I got it working of a fashion.
    Except the replace colour, does not seem to end up with the colour I picked using the picker tool. Its as though it hads not replaced the colour but blended in the desired colour with the old incorrect colour!
    Buy trial and error picking not the right colour but close - which when mixed with the existing colour is close.
    Sorry I can't post the pictures as the Lingerie Mfg, has me under non disclosure.
    The scenario is:-  say a blonded mainly tanned model a high cut [at the hips] corsette style basque, with an ultra low bra line.
    Our dear model, has just come back from St Barts with a fabulous Tan, and equally striking bold Tan lines!.
    So we have great tanned legs, then the 'porcelain white band' where her swimsuit was.
    Likewise we have a tanned face, and arms, shoulders etc and a great tan on the top of the cleavage, then it stops, white band to the top of the ultralow cut bra line of the basque.
    She must have lived in like the most conservative bikini on the planet [50's style], for 2 weeks!
    Had she had a normal skimpy bikini on, no problem!
    If i don't solve it, she will get fired!
    Not a lack of interest in your post, but I was out, and tried to log in to this site; which I could do, on my iPad Air / 5 [whatever its the new one]. And tried to 'sign in' - but it just hung at the
    "Join Adobe Community" adobe sign in splash screen! with he little whell spinning around continuously!!!
    I have Safari on this iPad. Guess that is all it runs.
    So technology is not my friend today!

  • The jar size value in the Application Descriptor does not match the real ja

    Hi,
    when i creat obfuscated package for my application It's posing the
    Error preverifying class A
    Class loading error: Wrong name
    The jar size value in the Application Descriptor does not match the real jar file size.
    It's perfectly working for all the other applications .I tried to change the jar size in the jad file but it's not working.

    Yes, the obfuscator does not change the size value after finishing. You have to do it yourself.

  • I open a new webpage in a new tab. I then go to a link and the back button does not allow me to go back to the original webpage. Any suggestions?

    I open a new webpage in a new tab. I then go to a link and the back button does not allow me to go back to the original webpage. Any suggestions?

    I don't think you understood the question. I am having the exact same issue. I open a link in a new tab or window, for example: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/
    When the new tab opens, I click on "reviews" to open the link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforedrop/#reviews in the existing tab because I want to see the reviews for this feature. After I read the reviews, I want to go back to the main link, but the back button on my browser is greyed out, as though I was never even on the previous page. So my options are 1) Open every link I ever click on in a new tab or window, or 2) Hope the website is user friendly and attempt to navigate back to the previous page using links inserted on the current page.
    You never realize how frustrating not having back button is until it happens.

  • The RFX before upgrade does not allow me to add items from catalog

    hello gurus
    I have a problem with the RFX, we did an upgrade to SRM7.0 from SRM5.0.
    The RFX that existed before upgrade in the server does not allow me to add new items from catalog.
    each RFx I created after the upgrade works fine.
    My client needs to work with the RFx still open, add items and make bids.
    I have reviewed the upgrade guide and found nothing regarding an update of purchasing documents.
    I have
    SRM 7.0 SPS03 EHP1
    MDM 7.1 SP06
    MDM catalog 3.0SP10

    in SRM 5.0 the system was MDM catalog. Actually, after the upgrade , i have SRM7.01 with MDM catalog.
    i donn´t know if it is about version, SP or compatability issue, but i believe the upgrade not affect the purchaser documents.
    Those look as locked to modify. on tap Position, the buttom ADD LINE, only i can see Position, not anymore option like MDM catalog, free text.
    it is a big problem, because the client has documents opened. i need to resolve this issue. Actually i am working in a sandbox system, but i afraid to have the same problem in PRD system after upgrade.

    When trying to customize-organise the Firefox 17 does not allow the bookmarks toolbar to be placed above the tabs toolbar is there a solution other than reverting to a previous version of FF?

    # Type ''about:config'' in the address bar and press Enter.
    # Press the big button to bypass the warning.
    # In the search box, paste ''browser.tabs.onTop''
    # In the search results, double-click ''browser.tabs.onTop'' to set its value to '''false'''.
    Note: If you're using either Windows 7 or Vista with an Aero Windows theme, performing the above will make a large part of the Firefox window glassy. If you find this unpleasant, the simplest thing to do is to install a persona.
