Where is the alphabet in Address Book

In Address Book under SL, there was an alphabet. Clicking on one letter took you to all the contacts whose names started with that letter. I don't see the alphabet in Lion. Is it hiding?

No, it's not there anymore except on iPhone/iPad.

Where is the home/application/address book in Lion. Can't find it to move in a backup of my address book.

Where is the home/application support/address book folder in Lion? Can't find it to put in a backup.
I made a mistake. I want to find the home/library/application support/address book - not the application itself. The whole library is not there - is it a hidden file? And if so how do I get it to show?

Kappy, I was going to start a Thread about the Application Folder so I'm glad you brought it up and you said that it should not even exist. I've had an Applications Folder within my Home Folder thru multiple OS. I'm even tempted to say since OS 9, but I'm not sure about that. There has never been anything in that folder and I don't remember ever creating it. Infact, The folder to me looks like a folder that would be installed as part of the OS.

How to move old address book (XP) into new computer (8.1) as the existing default address book.

I have exported the address book in LDIF format and have also found the abook.mab file in my old XP computer. My new W8.1 address book is totally empty. I don't know where to find the Profile folder on W8.1 and when I import the LDIF it creates a new address book folder which I don't want. I just want everything in the default address book.

Open the newly created address book. Click on one contact to select it. Hit control+a to select them all. Drag and drop them on the personal Address Book folder to move them there.

The Microsoft Exchange Address Book was unable to log on to Exchange

I am currently migrating a exchange 2007 to exchange 2013.
Exchange 2013 is installed on a seperate Windows Server 2012 server.
Exhange 2007 is installed on a seperate Windows Server 2003 R2 server.
I have moved some mailboxes from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 and also created some new mailboxes on the exchange 2013 server itself.
OWA, ActiveSync , IMAP are all working correctly for those mailboxes , but I am not able to connect to outlook with the exchange option (local connection).
Outlook 2013:
When I use autodiscover to connect to the exchange server step 1 & 2 are working correctly (establishing network connection & searching for mailbox settings) but on the 3th step (logging on to the mail server) I receive the following error
The name cannot be resolved. The Microsoft Exchange Address Book was unable to log on to Exchange. Contact you system administrator if the problem persists.
When I filll in the exchange server manually (using the normal servername server.hq.corp.domain.local not the guid version) the check name resolves correctly and the profile creation is finishing ok. But when I try to open outlook with that profile it gives
me the following errors :
with cached exchange mode selected:
Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook windows. The set of folders cannot be opened.
You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)
with cached exchange mode deselected:
Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook windows. The set of folders cannot be opened.
Microsoft Exchange is not available. Either there are network problems or the Exchange server is down for maintenance
When I use the Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer it fails on the following step:
Testing the address book "Check Name" operation for user [email protected] against server [email protected]
An error occured while attempting to resolve the name. Elapsed Milliseconds: 91 Additional Details: The address book bind operation failed with status -2147221231. NSPI Status 2147746065

Hi,
Please run the following command in Exchange server to get Exchange GUID:
Get-Mailbox UserA | FL Identity,ExchangeGuid
Then open Outlook, click File > Account Settings > Account Settings > Change (If you can’t open Outlook, go to Control Pane > Mail to change it). In Server Settings, import the [email protected] into the Server box and click Check Name
to have a try.
If the name is checked successfully but also can’t open the profile, please close Outlook. In the Start menu, Run command (Windows key + R), type or paste
outlook.exe /resetnavpane (Note: Make sure there is a space between the words.)
Then press Enter (or OK button) to restart Outlook

Unable to retrieve e-mail addresses that are in the server's address book

Since I installed the new version of Firefox (4.0) I am unable to retrieve any of the e-mail addresses that are duly indicated in the server's address book.
In summary, beforehand I could type the 1st letter of an e-mail address and Firefox would remember it and propose it upfront!
What can I do to solve this issue please!?

Hi gbman, sorry I missed your reply, I took someone out to a birthday dinner.
A good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site,
Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
After clearing the cookies, reload the page and try logging in again. Does that help?

Adding a Column to the Top of Address Book Display

I guess I have two problems in Address Book.
1. How do I add a custom field that is not on the list in "Template?" I want to add something called "show date" to all my address cards.
2. I want to have "show date" display at the top of the Address Book window in the middle column, where name is now shown. I'd like it to be Name, then Show Date, and be able to sort it by either one.
Any ideas? I won't be disappointed if it can't be done, but I thought I should check here just in case.
Thanks!

Select the bars - click once on the Chart and then click on one of the bars.
Open the Chart Inspector and click the Series button. Click on the Value Label Checkbox and then click on one of the Position buttons.
Feel free to download the Numbers User Guide and consult it. There's a link in the Help menu.

Hello Darwin, & a warm welcome to the forums & Macdom!
It's easy to drag them up off the Dock, open your Applications folder, drag Address Book from the Window to where you want it in the Dock, rinse & repeat.

Where are websites listed in Address Book?

I don't see where to add a company's website url in Address Book.

From Address Book's Help, "Changing the fields displayed on new contact cards"...
To edit the card template:
Choose Address Book > Preferences and click Template.
Click field labels to change which fields appear or to change their order. To create your own label, choose Custom from the field label pop-up menu.
Click the Add button to add a field, or the Delete button to remove a field.
Some items can be removed from the template using the Add Field pop-up menu. If an item in the menu has a check mark, choose that item to remove it from the template.

Where is Library/Application Support/Address Book in Time Machine backup ???

I made a fresh install and wanted to copy the file http://www.marco.org/2011/09/10/adding-to-apple-mail-autocomplete to save nuisance with no autocomplete with new mail (as I did last time). But why there is no Address book folder in Library/Application Support as is in the original Library (as I backuped yesterday) ??
Similarly - where is Skype folder (it is in the laptop system/library Application Support but not in the same folder in Time Machine (to copy the chat history).
Where can it be found ? Why Apple makes things so uneasy ?
original Library with the file I need from yesterday backup:
Library from yesterday backup as found on Time Machine:

The ~Library folder effective with Lion 10.7.x
See
http://pondini.org/TM/15A.html
Apple hides the ~/Library folder (meaning the Library folder inside your home folder), from users, apparently to protect us mere mortals from messing with it. That's kind of a problem when we needto.
To see it on a Finder window before entering Time Machine, hold the Alt/Option key while selecting the Go item in the menubar. That will produce a list of common places, including Library (about halfway down). Or, press Shift+Cmd+G and type ~/Library in the prompt. That will show it in the Finder window, and also in the Finder windows once you're in the "Star Wars" display.
If you forget to to do that first, once you're in the "Star Wars" display, press Shift+Cmd+G and type~/Library in the prompt.
(To make it visible permanently, on a "normal" Finder window, drag it into the sidebar.)

Where does Lion save my Address Book contacts?

I've returned to Snow Leopard and am restoring my data manually from a Time Machine backup, but I can't find my contacts. Where has Lion hidden them? and has anyone restored them from Lion to SL?

I think you can back up your Address Book (File->Export->Address Book Archive) in Lion. Then use the file to Import back into Snow Leopard.

Mail: Where are email messages and address book saved?

Good morning.
I would like to backup both emails and the address book in Mail.
Where are these located on my harddrive?
Thanks for your time.

Hi Again Bruce,
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
For Address Book, quit AB...
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/

How do I get name in Mail to be the same as Address book?

Just wondering if there was a way for the name that shows up when I get an e-mail to be the same as the name I have on that person's contact card in Address book?
For example say I have a Contact card for someone named Alexander, but in Address book I just have them listed as Alex. But every time I get an e-mail from them it comes in as Alexander (which I assume happens cause that's how they have filled in their information on their e-mail account) But I just want the e-mail to show up as coming from Alex. Does anyone know if you can do this?
Thanks

That's what I thought.... Although when I log on to Mobile Me through the internet the sender's name there appears just like it does in my address book, so I thought there would be a way to set it in mail.

How can i print the e-mail address book

I need to be able to share the address book. How can I print the contents

There is no good way that I have found to print them directly from Thunderbird.
The best way that I have found is to export the address book to a comma separated file, .csv file, then open that with Excel or Open Office, format the file like you want and print from there.
The added benefit of doing this is now you have a backup file of your address book in case something bad happens.
The Export command is under Tools in the Address Book window.

Is it possible to change the size of the Picture in Address Book

Hi, the contact pictures in the Address Book are way to small, is there the possibility to show them bigger??
Thanks
MacBook White 1,83 - 80GB HD - 2GB - EX-RSS Mac OS X (10.4.8)

No, I don't think so. When you put a picture on the card you can control what part of the picture is used, but there is no control for the subsequent size.
You could try using OS X Feedback and ask them to change it in the next release ...
