Where is address book?

Just installed Lion and migrated my user data from Snow Leopard. There is no address book at all. The icon appears in the dock, but with a question mark. How can I get a working Address Book for Lion? Do I need to simply copy my old app over from 10.6, or what? Thanks for help.

That's odd... it has nothing to do with migrating your user data, this is a standard app that is installed as part of the OS. Could you have moved AB out of the Applications folder or put it into a subfolder in 10.6?
If you still have your 10.7 installer, I'd run it again. If not, re-download it by going to "Purchases" at the AppsStore.
It will install in place and not touch your other files.

  • Issue where Global Address book cannot be searched on IPhone6

    Good Morning,
    Our CEO has been having a recurring problem where he is not able to search our Global Address book on his IPhone6.  Last time he had the issue, they made some sort of setting change on his phone and it worked.  Now it is not working again, but
    they want to rule out an Exchange\Active Sync problem.
    His Exchange account is setup on his IPhone (which is company issued).
    Composes a new email.  He types in the first few letters of the last name and it should bring up all possible matches from our Address book.  This is not happening.  If it is someone he has emailed prior, the autofill will bring up their name. 
    I have a company issued Android phone and I have not had the issue.
    Looked in the ECP and his phone is listed and is synching as it should. Is there anything as an Exchange admin that I can look at to determine what can be the problem.  My personal feeling is that this is something that was changed on his device, but
    being he is the CEO, we must do our due dilligence.
    Thank You
    Brian Dougherty

    Hi Brain,
    Do you have more users reporting the same issue in your company, i am suspecting a client issue until you see more ppl are coming back and reply, could you review the article below?
    http://contact-outlook.itrezzo.com/2014/05/Global-Address-List-iPhone-Search-vs-Sync.html
    or you want to post the question in the 'Apple' - support forum.
    My target would be to check on the client then on server to start with.
    Regards

  • Where is Address Book stored?

    I accidentally deleted a contact address on my iPhone Address Book, and iCloud almost immediately removed it from my MacBook Address Book also. 
    Where can I find the contact in my Address Book in Time Machine to look up the old Contact address?  Or is it in some format we can't access?
    Thanks!
    Mark

    The Address Book application is integrated with Time Machine. First, disable iCloud synchronization. Launch Address Book and set it to a view that would show the missing contact if it were there. Enter Time Machine. Scroll back through the Address Book snapshots until you find one that shows the contact. Select it and click the Restore button in the lower right corner of the screen.

  • Where is address book located

    The latest version of Mozilla thunderbird seems to have totally removed the address book. logo I've serched eevry where, and it isn't showing up any where. It used to be on the top of the email panel now there is only about three things there also the File and Tools line seem to have dissapeared as well.

  • Where is Address book Icon in Mail "send" toolbar

    Installed Lion.  Could not find the "address book" icon in the send toobar.  It was in Leopard, however I cannot seem to find it in Lion.  Is it no longer available or am I just not looking in the right place?

    I did find that Icon however if you are in the main menu for mail it IS there.  However if you hit New Message a new window comes up and that tool bar does not have the "man" icon.  I have to pull the window down some so I can see the main menu, then click on the "man" to get the address book.   I tried to pull the icon into the send window but it would not transfer.  Just seems awkward to me or maybe I am missing something.
    The Address Book Icon was in the send window on Leopard as I recall.

  • Where is Address Book data located?

    I know the Address Book application is located in applications but I can't find the old address book data from my previous internal hard disc (which information I am now accessing via an external reader).
    Thanks all!

    It's in your home folder, in Library/Application Support/AddressBook. Quit Address Book completely, and copy all files and folders therein to the same location on your new drive.

  • I cannot find where my address book went.

    When I open the address book, the blue light is on but it seems to be off the screen somewhere and I can't access it. When I click mission control, I see it but it is gone again once I've clicked on it?? HELP!

    I only have one monitor. Is it possible to push a combo of keys (like shift F8) to toggle between screens like a PC? Maybe I hit this combo and don't realize?
    Thanks for your help:)

  • Where is address book content stored?

    Had a HD crash and have a backup but not sure which file is the one with the contents of the previous address book. Thanks for any help.

    Should be in /Users/YouUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook

  • Wheres the address book in mail

    When I send a message in mail in the "To" field there is no shortcut to the address book at the end of the field.
    I have my contacts arranged into lots of different contact groups, which I use to visually and easily navigate to them the predictive input is frequently useless, and disorientating. Sometimes I cant use it at all because I don't know the first letter of a contact I just know what contact group its in and its a case of I'll recognize it when I see it, how do I get the address book short cut in the "To" field back

    What you need to do is add the Address Book button to your button bar in two places.
    1. Right click on the Mail button bar and select Customize Buttons. Then add the Address Book button to the button bar.
    2. Compose a new email. Right click on the button bar within the compose and select Customize Buttons. Add the Address Book button to your button bar.
    Now, whenever you open Mail, you'll see a button to click for Address Book and whenever you compose an email you'll have the Address Book available.

  • Where does address book store its addresses?

    I have tried to do an 'archive install' of 10.5.4, then up to 10.5.8 after having installed snow leopard (10.6.2) and stupidly assumed that my addresses (and calendar in iCal) would be there somewhere or in my backed up libraries on external HD...
    but cannot find a trace...any kind person know where they would be?

    It affects decision to upgrade to SL, because once you do it (a) you probably need to give it a 2 month run to test it fully (b) by then pre-upgrade info is getting a bit out of date (c) a return to 10.5 seems difficult without loss of information if, as I am experiencing, the 'previous system' folder does not contain any information added during the 10.6 trial period.
    It COULD BE that IF I had had a time machine or used other software to make a full-off computer back up from 10.6 that would be readable by 10.5, there would be no problem. But I would need a report from someone who has actually done this successfully to be convinced.
    I am actually finding more and more problems, eg at present I cannot send email, though for a while I was receiving it perfectly well, I think maybe because I HAD to feed in new information 'blind' before I could get access to Mail at all and it is now nearly impossible to correct the anomaly - but that is a Mail question which I am probably about to post

  • Where do my deleted Address Book contacts go??

    I'm on an exchange server running snow leopard.
    I cannot find where the address book app is putting the deleted contacts and folders....
    Does anyone know?
    I've checked the two logical places, mail trash and the main trash.... no luck.

    There are a couple of options.
    For the whole computer, you can set up an [Open Firmware password|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352]. Follow the same instructions as 10.5. Search for more info on Open Firmware password and what recourses you have if you forget the password.
    You can secure your entire home folder using FileVault (Security System Prefs), but that comes with a few headaches. I don't use it, so I can't offer any advice. It will encrypt you Home folder when you log out so nobody can get to your data without the password, even if the computer is stolen. Time Machine waits until you log out to back up your home folder. This would never work for me.
    Also on the Security System Prefs is an option to require a password at wake from Sleep or Screen Saver.
    You can set your keychain password different for your account so that it doesn't automatically unlock at login. You can also set the keychain to lock after a period of inactivity using the Keychain Access program--Edit>Change settings for Keychain "login"…
    While someone can change your login password using the install disk, that won't change your keychain password, so that info will remain locked.
    In the Keychain Access Preferences, you can show the status in the menu bar. From that menu you can Lock the Screen, Your keychain, or all keychains.

  • Contacts per iMac address book:  1,301  iCloud:  1,486 iPhone 4s: 1,508 iPhone 4: 1,489 How can I make them all the same?

    My address book has been an intense problem for me for a while (i.e. even pre-iPhone 4s/iCloud).  Before I upgraded, my iPhone 4 had thousands of duplicate contacts.  The address book was up to ~7,500 even though what was then Mobile Me had somewhere in the 1,000 to 1,500 range for contacts.  So after I upgraded, I attempted to fix it by doing the following:
    I connected my iPhone 4S to the iMac (after I set it up with the latest iPhone 4 backup), went to the iTunes info tab for my device and unchecked syncing for any address book contacts, calendars, email accounts.  And then I synced it.  This didn't work.  I believe my contacts were still at ~7,500.
    So next I tried checking just the Sync Address Book Contacts option on the info tab which then allowed me to check contacts under the Advanced/Replace Information on this iPhone section at the bottom of the info tab.  This made my iPhone contact list further balloon up to 13,000 + contacts. 
    So the next thing I did (still in the info tab) was to select Selected Groups under the "Sync Address Book Contacts" section of the info tab.  I believe I still had the option to replace the info on my iPhone selected.  I then selected one of my contact groups that had no contacts in it.  Why would I create a contact group with no contacts in it?  I didn't.  I created some smart groups and prior to my iPhone 4s upgrade I noticed the smart groups contact lists I spent some time setting up were not populated with anything.  Same with some of the non-smart group contact lists I had created. 
    After telling it to only sync that empty group and to replace the contents on my iPhone I ended up with 1,508 contacts.  Why I didn't end up with either zero or the same number as in iCloud is beyond me.  This at least seems closer to my true number of contacts but as mentioned in my subject above the number of contacts differ between all three places (iPhone 4s, iCloud and iMac address book).  I also noticed that my wife is no longer in my iPhone 4S or in iCloud as a contact but she is listed in the iMac contacts which has fewer contacts than the other two places. 
    So I believe that in all three locations, there are situations where the address book includes contacts not in the other two locations, and vice versa (excludes contacts that are in the other locations).  Can somebody help me understand how I can truly sync my contacts so that they are identical in all locations?  This has been a huge problem for me since the Mobile Me roll out and sadly continues to persist now that I've migrated to iCloud.
    Blah, I am so fed up with this persistent issue.

    I assume you never got a solution. My own painful story is here:

    I've given up on Lion/iCloud. I'll try Mountain Lion.
