Why can't I see my list of Contacts in Address Book?

I can access my contacts one at a time but cannot see the whole list whether I'm in On My Mac or iCloud. I used to be able to see all of them; anyone know how to get that back? Thanks.

Your contacts should be in whatever program you were syncing with:
Outlook for Windows, Address Book for OS X, Google Contacts, iCloud,
some third party application. iTunes has never provided this feature as
it is already available in other programs.
You also should have a backup plan to protect against data loss.

How can I extract a picture from a contact in Address Book?

How can I extract a picture from a contact in Address Book? Address Book is version 5.0.3 with Mac OS X 10.6.8. Btw, I don't have access to the original picture anymore.

You need to go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Images and Control-click on each file and open it using Preview. Then you can export the image if you choose. Just keep in mind that these will be thumbnail quality, so don't expect large images, either in file size or physical size.

Why can't I see all of my contacts in iCloud?

Cant see all of my contacts in iCloud that are on my iPhone. Why? Is there a way to select which contact are synched...whether from iCloud to iPhone and visa versa? Thanks

It's likely because not all of your contacts belong to the iCloud account. Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section). Do you have the Default Account setting there, and if so, what accounts are listed and what is set as your default?

How can I sync a specific group of contacts from Address Book to Google?

Let's say I have two contact groups: one is called 'Colleagues', another is 'Friends',
how can I only sync 'Friends' to Gmail contacts?
As I tried to sync my Address Book to Gmail contacts, all of them (both 'Colleagues' & 'Friends') were sync'd to Gmail contacts.
I can't find a way to deal with it.
Thanks in advance!
PS:
(1) I set up Address Book <-> Gmail contacts sync in this way: went to Address Book, then went to 'Preferences...' -> 'Accounts' -> 'Account Information' -> ticked 'Synchronize with Google'
(2) I am using Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.4, version of Address Book: 5.0.2, version of iSync: 3.1.1

Hi 1234khashayar,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You can create groups in your iCloud account at www.icloud.com. Once created, they will appear on your iPhone.

Why can't I see the list view in the file browser

In the file browser for FCP X, I can see the files in the thumbnail view but when I choose "list view", I see nothing.

Check three things: the filter popup in the upper left, the search box in the upper right, make sure there's nothing in it, and the action popup (the gear in the lower left) make sure there is no weird setting that's removing everything.
You can also trash your preferences to reset them.

Why can't I see my xtra mail contacts on my ipad mail

I have the latest ipad but cannot get my yahoo. Xtra mail contacts on my ipad mail. I have been into iTunes but cannot find any tab that says export yahoo contacts on iTunes. Thanks

I"m sorry I didn't read that closely enough. I'm afraid all I can offer is that it's probably a glitch on Apple's end, which means there's not much folks can do beyond force quitting the app to make it reload (double tap the home button, when you see the preview for the app, flick it up and off the screen, then single tap on the home button to exit that mode)

Using Application Manager, why can't I see my CS5.5 applications, just CS6 lists to buy?

I am migrating my CS5.5 apps from an old XP laptop to a new Win8. Also Acrobat Pro, so I am using Application Manager to make sure I am not offending version copy allowances, but Application Manager is not showing any of the apps on my system, jut CS6 to buy and a couple trials. Where are my current Adobe applications?

Once you save that to a location on your system.
Make sure Acrobat is Quit and then do this:
1. In the Finder go to the "Go" menu.
2. Select Go to Folder
3. Paste this path into the "Go to the Folder:" field
/Applications/Adobe Acrobat XI Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro/Contents/Resources/JavaScripts/
4. Copy the file into the JavaScripts folder.
5. Launch Acrobat
Now you should see the menu spoken of in the blog and web page.

HT1947 Why can't I see all songs for an artist when using iPad remote for home sharing music through apple tv.

Why can't I see all my songs for an artist when I search by artist using iPad remote? I'm listening to music via home sharing through apple tv using iPad 2 as my remote. All my songs seem to be listed fine under "songs", but when I select "artist" many of the songs I have for that artist are not there, any idea why that is or how I can fix this.....I suspect it's because many songs may not be associated with an album and it seems only songs in albums are displayed when I search by artist.

Thanks Ferretbite, but that's not the issue in my case, the songs are not part of a compilation. I just checked several of them and the "Part of a compilation" box is unchecked.....it seems as if the song does not have an album associated with it, it will not display under the artist when I search by artist on the iPad remote which REALLY stinks.
Hope someone else might have a solution.

Why can't I see my iPhoto files in iMovie?

[DISCLAIMER: My question is short, but my details are not. This is going to be a LONG read, but I wanted to make sure I provided all you helpful people with as much information as I could so that I could receive the best possible solution. So your patience and assistance is greatly appreciated!]
In iMovie [version 4.0.1], when I click on the Photo button to import pictures into my project from iPhoto, the following error message appears: "No photos were found. To use this feature, you must first create a photo library using iPhoto version 2.0 or later."
However... I AM using iPhoto [version 4.0.3]... with a HUGE Library containing 2000+ images and several created albums. These features work just fine within the confines of that program. They just aren't integrating with iMovie correctly. So... why can't I see my iPhoto files in iMovie?!!?!
FIRST ATTEMPT:
When I checked iMovie help, all it said was "You must open iPhoto at least one time on your computer to be able to access your iPhoto library from iMovie." I've obviously done this, having used the program plenty. Didn't work.
SECOND ATTEMPT:
When I checked this forum, the closest thread I could find that was similar to my problem suggested deleting the iMovie preferences file [com.apple.imovie3.plist]. It was later added that deleting the iPhoto preferences file [com.apple.iphoto.plist] as well had solved the problem immediately for that user. Tried it. Didn't work.
THIRD ATTEMPT:
When I checked the Apple Info site, their main solution was to try recreating the AlbumData.xml file which is used to populate the photo listing. Now this file can usually be found in the iPhoto library folder and I know how to recreate it. But THIS is where I think my main problem lies.
Unlike most users, my iPhoto Library is actually located on an external hard drive under "my hard drive name"/Pictures/iPhoto Library. When I checked this folder for the AlbumData.xml file , it simply did not exist. So as a test, I created a new iPhoto Library also on my external hard drive but the AlbumData.xml file was not created with it. I opened up iMovie just to see if it was able to browse the iPhoto library properly. But it still didn't work.
However, when I created a test iPhoto Library directly onto my Mac's hard drive, the AlbumData.xml file was indeed created with it. And when I opened up iMovie again... lo and behold, the iPhoto library finally appeared. It worked. But unfortunately, this solution still doesn't help me at all!
Thing is, I don't have enough space on my Mac's direct hard drive to move my entire iPhoto Library there (where it works). That's why I am using an external hard drive to store (more space). So is there ANY way I can keep my iPhoto Library located on my external hard drive and have the library, albums and files recognized in the other iLife applications like iMovie???
I feel I've tried everything, folks Could someone please please help me?!!?!
[my specs are listed below if that helps any]
Thanks in advance,

PowerBook G4 12" [1GHz, 256MB, 40GB] Mac OS X (10.3.9) GeForce FX Go5200 32MB, Matshita DVD-R UJ-816, Maxtor External Hard Drive [250GB, Firewire & USB 2.0]

My main concern at this point is that the AlbumData.xml file is unable to create itself onto the External HD. When I view the file [that I created from my test iPhoto Library on my Mac's HD] in finder, it appears to be a Final Cut Pro type of extension. Is something wrong with my External Hard Drive in that regard? Is it just incapable of storing those file types??? Hmmm...
As for the alias solution... instead of alias-ing the "Pictures" folder like you have, I've already tried creating an alias of the "iPhoto Library" folder on my External HD and placing it within the "Pictures" folder on my Mac. But when I tried to "Find Library" upon launching iPhoto, the prompt box would not allow me to choose the "iPhoto Library" alias I had created. So I couldn't open it.
To be honest, I'm not exactly sure how to create an alias correctly... or perhaps I should try alias-ing the actual "Pictures" folder (like you have) rather than just the "iPhoto Library" folder, but I don't know how to do that correctly either.
FYI... I am mounting my External HD before I launch iPhoto.
Also, I have also tried dragging the AlbumData.xml file that I created from the test iPhoto Library into my active iPhoto Library folder residing on my External HD. It would appear to be in the folder, but as soon as I clicked somewhere else in finder and than back into the folder, it would disappear. Not sure how to "point to it" either.
Karl, think maybe you could provide some hints on how to properly alias something or "point" to the AlbumData.xml file? I'd try it myself, but I don't wanna screw anything up by accident.
PS. As stated in the post above, there's a possibility my External HD is no longer Mac OS formatted... at which point I throw my hands up into the air and scream!
thanks for the tips thus far... everyone's so nice and helpful... I love it!

Why can't I see the keyframes in color over stroke?

Why can't I see the keyframes in color over stroke? I am trying to adjust a heart beat monitor effect I created. I started with a bezier line and gave it a light streak #3 style. In the Color Over Stoke shape window I can click the arrows left and right to jump from KF to KF but they will not appear as editable points in the keyframe editor. I wonder if this is a bug?
Thanks
Wilson

Here's what I did to see them
-Added a line shape
-Dropped Light Steak 3 style on the line layer in the layer list.
-Selected the line and in the inspector, went to Shape>Stroke>Color over stroke.
-Selected the first color tag in the gradient.
-At the far right side of the color parameter, clicked the downward facing arrow and selected "Show in Keyframe Editor" option.
The keyframes show up in the keyframe editor. Repeat for each color or opacity tag as needed.

If it's in the Spam mailbox, then Spam Mailbox would show there.
In my example above, I'm looking in the Sent Mailbox as a whole (main mailbox, not the subfolder account) and it's showing the account I sent from. If I had sent messages from my other accounts, it would show those also. The only purpose of showing the mailbox in the message list is to know which of your accounts it's to or from when you have multiple accounts. If you only have one mail account, then it provides no use to have Mailbox shown in the message list.
When you are looking at the Sent Mail, then the message list shows the person who it was sent to.
All other mailboxes show the person who the message was sent from in the list.
Unless you're moving recieved mail and sent mail to a common mailbox, then it's not a big deal.
Maybe Apple will change it in the future to show the actual Fields in the message list.

I took some videos using my iPhone 5c and uploaded them to my computer. I can play the videos in iPhoto, but when I open them in QuickTime, they are dark and silent. Why can't I see them in QuickTime?

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events from my iPhone in my mac pro if I already registered it in the cloud?

Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events already registered in my iPhone, in my Mac Pro ? I already actualize LION OSX and selected these items in the adjustments menu of the icloud. I could do it just once, after I installed Lion OSX, but up to the moment it does not updates.

Assuming you activated iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud and make sure Calendars and Contacts are set to ON.

Why can't I see my external hard drive, Intel iMac / 500 GB, G-Drive

Why can't I see my external hard drive? I have a new iMac, Intel based i5, running Lion (2-3 months old). I have a 500 GB G-Drive external hard drive that has showed up when connected to my iMac for the past 2-3 months. Now it's gone. It's NOT visible when using Disk Utilities. I have all of the radio buttons chosen in the Finder Preferences. I've unplugged and replugged in the drive, have switched the cable ports and have switched firewire cable. The G-Drive powers up and whirls, so I don't believe the problem is with the drive. Yes, I set my Preferences to make sure ALL disk types are visible. I've restarted my iMac on a number of occations. I rest my SMC by totally unplugging my iMac for a minute, then plugging it back in. Any suggestions?

Unplug the HD, Zap the PRAM, reconnect the HD, power it up, and see if that fixes the problem. If not, then maybe the HDs bitten the dust. Try on another computer to verify.
