Why can't I enter new addresses in my address book?

The address book is acting very strangely.  I can't add new contacts either directly or via Mail.  That is to say, I can add a new contact, but once I quit and restart, that address is gone.  Theoretically, permissions have been repaired.  What gives?
Thanks.

Hey, I figured it out.  I had to re-set the permissions in the Library.

  • How can I create a new address book in Thunderbird?

    I cannot figure out how to create a brand new address in which to place 'contacts'.

    I repeatedly followed your above instructions and "Address
    book" does NOT appear as a choice. Presently existing address books do appear but not a new address book. Perhaps I have a corrupted file????? I just don't know what to try next, I have already downloaded / installed a new copy of Thunderbird 24.4.0 directly from the Mozilla web site.
    Thanks for your efforts, sorry to bother you again. I'm frustrated!

  • Why can't I enter email addresses?

    I registered on my Macbook last night for Facetime but I can't enter email addresses or phone numbers into those fields under New Contact. As soon as I type the first character, a red NO ENTRY sign appears to the left of the field.

    The Facetime contacts list mirrors your contacts list on your Mac.  To add a contact to your Facetime contacts list, you would go to your Mac contacts list and you should find it imported to your Facetime contacts .  I am not familiar with a designated "new contacts" list, as I don't have that option on my iMac or iPad.

  • Why can't I see my address book contents in Icloud?

    I was under the impression that the contents of my address book would migrate across to iCloud!  I have the iCloud account selected under 'Preferences' in my Address Book and I have deleted and added my iCloud account to also try and activate the migration, but to no success.  Really now questioning why I am paying for an iCloud account when it does not do what it appears it should do!  I have 2 macs running currently: an IMac and a Mac Book Air, both running Lion 10.7.3; I have dleted the iCloud account on my MacBook Air to just try and run the migration on the IMac, but again no joy.  Somebody (preferably a MAC employee as you guys are the ones that should be helping) help me please?  Thanks.

    Music is not backed up in iCloud.
    If you have iTunes Match enabled it is stored online by that service but iCloud is not involved.

  • The birthday year can not be entered in Address Book. Why?

    When I enter a birthday as 1943 it appears as 0043. What is wrong?

    I was reluctant to lose all my birthday entries so I keep trying different things. What I found is that if you enter  the year rapidly it works. If you do it slowly, it does not work. This is repeatable, give it a try. Strange Apple glitch!!!
    Thank you for engaging me in this resolution. Interacting with someone else sometimes brings about new thoughts of how to solve a problem.

    Hello Bob.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

    Why can't I enter time machine?

    There are lots of possible reasons.. without more info we cannot help.
    What OS is on the Mac?
    Is this a new setup and has never worked? Or an old setup that has stopped working?
    Is mavericks involved at all? Did you clean install or upgrade install it?
    What is the target device for Time Machine?

  • I can no longer enter "new events"

    I can no longer enter "new events" in my iCal on my Mac (O/S 10.6.7) . I can only enter a new event on my iPhone Calendar and then sync to my iCal on my home computer, which is a Mac Pro. It used to work fine.

    Greetings,
    Troubleshooting:
    1.) First make an iCal backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966.
    2.) Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical and / or "ical"
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    __NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
    Hope that helps!

  • Why can I create a new folder in the catalog but it only shows up in windows not the catalog

    Why can I create a new folder in the catalog but it only shows up in windows not the catalog

    Not sure I understand the question but it could be because you meant to say "can't" somewhere in the sentence.  anyway, just guessing here:
    Try going to:
    File >> Watch folders
    Now you can Add new folders here that you see them in Windows.  The word ADD is a button to browse for the folders and hopefully this will solve the problem you are having.

    Why can I only see new mail in icloud and not in my usual mail in box

    sonnay, are you also in South Africa like the original poster whose message you tacked onto?
    A lot of countries only have app store, no music or video stores. Because of copyright laws that are different between every nation. Stupid, that the laws are different, but that's the way it is.

  • Installed Thunderbird on New drive but can't transfer emails and address books drom old drive to new PC.

    I have a computer I built that my dad who uses Thunderbird for his email. We had to remove the C: drive, which was a SSD drive because it was running out of space and replaced it with a Western Digital Veloci-Raptor 500GB drive. I am not familiar with Thunderbird and did not export his emails or address book before I switched the drives. I have set his new Thunderbird account to keep the mails on the server and not the PC. How can I get the old emails and address books from the old hard drive. I did copy the Thunderbird folder from the C: drive and the folder on the E: drive that Thunderbird was installed to. I have read many forums on how to move emails and address books to or from Thunderbird but non are like my situation. Hoe can retrieve the emails and address books from the previous install and transfer them over to the new PC once I have done a reinstall?

    first the old drive... the location varied between windows versions but it is either in Application data or appdata. In vista and above open the roaming folder. Both are hidden folders so you need to show hidden files and folders in Windows. Within that you will find a Thunderbird folder.
    The sub folders of that are the profiles, but simply copying the Thunderbird folder over it's like in the appdata\roaming of Vista and above will replace the existing with the old.
    Copy the actual profile in the folder called profile XXXX.default xxxx being a random string will place two profiles on the hard disk which can be opened individually using the profile manager. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_manager
    Finally individual folders of mail can be moved using the import export tools. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ You just need to locate the data. Folders are a file with no extension and another with the same name and an MSF extension. They are in sub folders of mail in the profile.

  • How can I organize groups in Address Book while running iCloud under Lion?

    I am frustrated with the new Address Book for many reasons:
    It is no longer possible to view groups, list, and cards at the same time, just groups and list or list and cards.  This means it is very cumbersome to organize cards to multiple groups, something that wa relatively easy before.  Why not allow us to see all three at once and conveniently drag and delete?
    The individual cards do not list what groups each card belongs to.  Why didn't Apple include a list and a way to change the group when editing cards?  Do any of the Apple programmers actually use their own programs to make them useful and convenient?
    While running iCloud addresses are duplicated (one set "On My Mac" and another "iCloud").  While it is possible to view only one set or the other, I found that it is best to backup and then delete the "On My Mac" cards and groups.  Even then it is confusing to navigate and move cards around.
    The iCloud synch with my iPod is working well, but I have to synch my older iPhone 3G with a cable. (will not run OS X v 10.7 Lion).
    The iCloud address book is not synching properly with Yahoo, but rather the Yahoo address are being pulled over to the "On My Mac" set that had been removed.  Why can't we set controls of pushing or pulling data vs synching, as well as whether whether this is with the iCloud or "On My Mac" addresses?
    The new address book format, while cute is too bright, hard to read and wastes a lot of space with white nothingness.  Why can't we have a more attractive, easier to read, and functional address book format, with more ability to customize format for advanced users?
    I suppose I may have answered my own question: basically it is possible to manage the groups as long is willing to put up with inefficiency and backs up manually by exporting the address book regularly as a backup (because so much can and does go wrong).  Does anybody have more insight?
