Where do I find the Address Book data?

My wife's G5 has crashed and does not start up. I was able to put in Target Mode and download her complete User folder to another drive. I want to reestablish her address Book on another computer. Where do the address data reside? How do I re-establish her address book in her new user account?

Hi Mike,
For Mail...
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
For Address Book...
Files...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
Folders...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/
You may need to do Get Infos on them in the Finder & change Rights & Privileges to her new User.

Where in Lion 10.7 Time Machine can I find the Address Book file

Help!
I Sync duplicated my Address Book entries. But now with Lion 10.7 I no longer can find the Address Book contacts file to restore in Time Machine.

Sorry, but you're still in the top-level Library folder.
Select the ~/Library folder via Alt/Option key while selecting Go from the menubar:
Then Enter Time Machine.

How to sync and let the address book data overtake everything on my phone?

Hi everyone!
I have a Sony Ericsson k750i.
I have no problems whatsoever syncing when I first got my phone etc.
In all my address book entries, I have updated all of my numbers to have the international dialling code before each of the numbers. I now want to sync with my phone again to ensure that all the numbers in my phone now have the new numbers that are entered on address book.
How can I use iSync to ensure my phone only takes what is in my address book and my address book basically ignores the data from my phone?
I hope this makes sense!!
Thanks in advance!

If you want to overwrite the data representing contacts and calendars on you mobile handset with data from the Address Book and iCal, you should reinitialize the truth database by either…
• removing, then adding back [and reconfiguring] your device, or
• opening the iSync Preferences… dialog, and selecting the Reset Sync History… option.
Neither step will affect your data store, but it will compel the Sync Services framework to behave as if it were a first-time synchronization, and give you the opportunity to Replace or Merge the data with your handset. You should choose Replace.

Suddendly (no external shock) Thunderbird stopped finding the address book, but it finds the right addresses when sending a mail with a name existing in the Boo

The phrase is all what happens. If ask for the address of, say, Joe (existing in the book), it gives nothing. If I write an e-mail message to Joe, Thunderbird inserts the correct address to Joe, and if I send it, it goes correctly. The Address book looks "strange" its content (nearly empty) does not correspond to what it was. I am working in Linux Mint 17.1 with great satisfaction fo the rest.
Thanks for helping. Giancarlo.

Thanks for answering,
however I miss what to send you: The address book is missing most of my contacts (they were there, before), but if I send a mail to one of those missing contacts Thunderbird attach the correct address without my intervention: funny. Mau be a virus did that, bu how can I recover the missing address book (hidden somewhere, certainly). I cannot show in a screen copy the facts I describe here. Anyway I enclose the screenshot of the opening of the actual address book. Please ask me any useful question on the above.
Again thank and greetings,
giancarlo.

Where can i find the original book files i put into ibooks?

I added the .epubs I own into iBooks and, thanks to a Transcend hdd problem, have lost my back up af all the books I had. What I would like to do is grab my files back and back them up again but I cannot find the files in finder. How do I find them? When I find them, will there be issues in retrieving them?

The books that I have in the iBooks app on my Mac (I'm on Yosemite, but I assume that it's the same for Mavericks) are stored under :
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books
If you copy that folder name and use Go > Go To Folder in Finder (shift-command-G) and paste it then you should be taken to the folder
My epubs have meaningless (to me anyway) names in that folder. I'm not aware of any issues.

Where do I find the free books once I download the iBooks icon?

Where do I find free books once I have downloaded iBooks?

Download Xcode from the Mac App Store.

Where can I find the PAR for Data Services 3.1?

I think DS 3.1 is already in RTM but couldn't find the PAR on the service marketplace. There is only one for version 3.0. I need this document to confirm that DS 3.1 doesn't support HPUX PA-RISC any more. My customer is still using DI 11.5.3 on PA-RISC which means they don't have a migration path - they know 11.7.3.0 limited version still supports it but won't take the risk of upgrading to a unsupported version.
Thanks,
Larry

If you are on system 9 on windows then for planning you will probably have to make a registry change.
Open the registry editor and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hyperion Solutions\HyperionPlanning\HyS9Planning
Modify SysOutFile and provide a path that exists. For e.g. E:\hyperion\logs\Planning\Sysout_plan.log
Restart planning, planning should know write to that log.

Where is the address book and how do I use it?

I am new to Firefox and don't know how to find the address book and use it.

Hi,
Firefox and other browsers are only for displaying web pages and web mails. The emails, address book, contacts etc. are all stored at the mail provider's end and Firefox never stores them, only displays.
If this is related to Thunderbird please [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Help_Documentation:Using_the_Address_Book see this,] and the [http://support.mozillamessaging.com/ Thunderbird forum.]

Once on iCloud how do you recover lost address book data?

After moving to iCloud my wife suddenely lost all her contact info earlier today. When opening Address Book on her iMac & iPad all contact info was gone. We signed on to iCloud.com and it was gone there too. For some reason it was still on her iPhone. I tried to force a merge from her phone by shutting off iCloud Contacts; selecting to keep data on the device; then turned it back on hoping to get the 'merge data' option. I didn't get that message and sure enough in a few seconds the address book on her phone went empty.
So, this raised the question about where do I recover the data from? I looked in finder on her iMac under user/Library/Addplication Support/Address Book - there were some files and directories there, but nothing that looked like it was loaded with contact info. I'm assumming once she moved to iCloud the detail is no longer stored locally in OS X?
I went into System Prefs and shut off iCloud Contacts on the iMac, opened Time Machine, went back a week ago (prior to iCloud) and found contact info in the user/Library/Addplication Support/Address Book directory and restored the entire directory. Opened Address Book and it was populated with data. turned on iCloud Contacts and selected the 'Merge' data option which then populated her other devices.
So, the question is - what if it had been longer than a week - where is this data (and probably calendar data too!) being backed up and where (and how) would you restore it from if it did suddenly turn up missing?

So this gets back to my original question... not sure if bgbrobru is running Time Machine backups, but even if he is, I don't think the Address Book data is recoverable (unless you go back to a pre-iCloud backup) because it is no longer stored locally.
If I understand correctly the only thing we can do going forward is to run a periodic 'manual' export of iCal and Address Book data to insure we have a backup? In the event I do something stupid and mistakingly delete something or - like what happened to my wife today - the entire address book (or calendar entries) just disapear, we are screwed? I guess this would also apply to email stored in folders on iCloud?
Seems there should be some way to capture the iCloud data in a Time Machine (or some other mechanism) backup?
Sorry Rick but that's incorrect,
Here's a shot of the folder it lives in and the path to it, Time Machine backs it up.

How to import Tiger Address book data into Leopard?

How do I import the Address book data I had in Tiger, into Leopard. I backed up all my applications and the Application Support folder before I upgraded to Leopard but I can't find a way of importing the old data into the new program. I tried just copying the contents of the Address Book subfolder of Application Support but the new Leopard folder has completely different files in it....??
Thanks

Like all user preferences they are in /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.
Here's some additional info:
Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (* This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ copy any preferences needed for third-party applications
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
For FireFox:
/Home/Library/Applications Support/FireFox
/Home/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist
