Why can't I update contacts in address book

I cannot update contacts in my Address book. The command "L" does not work, and the menu item is grayed out. Can do it on the iPhone. Not yet transferred to the cloud, as there are 5 computers on the samd account, and only 3 of them have the Ram required for 10.7. Ordering the Ram today or tomorrow.

Thanks again for your time.
I have done as you suggested and the info is as follows:

  • Why can't I edit or delete Address Book "On My Mac" or sync with iCloud?

    Why can't I edit or delete Address Book cards on my Macs, now that I've migrated to iCloud?  I can edit/delete if I go to iCloud, but the changes don't sync with my Macs.  What's happening, and what's a solution?  Just wait for Apple to fix a bug?

    On your mac, if your look at the left panel of the Address Book, you'll find general categories of "iCloud" and possibly "On my mac" - if you have contacts in the latter, then they are only local to your mac, they are not shared with iCloud.  If you don't have an "iCloud" category, then your mac(s) is not set up of iCloud.  Go to system preferences and look in iCloud.  Is the mac signed into iCloud, are contacts turned on for syncing?

  • Can I retrieve deleted contacts from Address book

    Can I retrieve deleted contacts from address book on my mac or contact list on my iphone?

    Yes if you have been backing up using Time Machine it should be pretty simple. If you haven't been backing up then they're gone.

  • Can not add more contacts on address book

    Hello
    i have a blackberry curve 8520.
    at the momment i have 288 contacts but i can not add more. I go to menu, address book, new contact, the window give me the options, i add the information (name, phone, email, etc) and when i want to save the contact it do not save
    i tried to reboot removing the battery for a minute and restart but still with the same problem.
    Also i figured out that when y sync my bb with the desktop manager, the address book is not sync it says (Adress book not installed) that is why i can not swipe the contacts to reinstall the info because i have no back up of the address book
    Please i need some help with this issues
    thanks
    Solved!

    While there is no hard limit on how many contacts you can have in your device, there is a soft limit in that you can only have as many as your device memory can handle. Check your available memory to see if you have any remaining space. If not, then consider cleaning out/uninstalling some things you do not need in order to increase available memory for more contacts.
    Disclaimer: I'm just a regular user like the rest of you. I have spent a lot of time learning the limitations of the Blackberries to know how to fix most problems. If I have suggested a fix, please give a kudo and mark as a solution!

  • Why are some of my contact photos address book not uploading to iCloud contact

    I have added some new contact photos to my address book in my powerbook but it absolutely refuses to upload to the icloud and hence my iphone and iPad.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi MoLovin,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's photos not displaying in the correct order, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • Can not post all contacts from address book group

    I created a contact list with 132 entries for a social club that I belong to in Address Book.  When I create a message and add the group in the BCC field it will only post 99 contacts.
    I tried dragging and dropping the group and typing the group name in the Bcc field and I always end up with just 99. I checked all the addresses and they all seem legit. It took me quite a long time to add all these fields and now I am so discouraged. Any ideas at all please.

    Glad it working. I couldn't remember if Lion had a limit but usually it's your ISP that limits sending to a group. In the past it used to be 50 contacts but now most let you send up to 200 in a group.
    It's best to put yourself in the To line and add group to BCC for privacy. If you don't have a To recipient some ISPs put the BCC in To.

  • Can't add new Contact in address book

    I am trying to add a new contact in the address book by using the + sign at the bottom of the list of names, and it just switches to the next contact. It does NOT create a NEW contact. Is there a limit of contacts for the address book that I am not aware of ?
    Thanks in advance

    Have you tried adding a contact from the file menu?

  • Why won't mail add contact to address book?

    When I click on the email address in the "From" field of a message in Mail, I get the option to "Add to Address Book." But it doesn't actually add the contact; when I search my address book forby that name, nothing comes up. When I then go back to Mail, I again get the "Add to Address Book" option. I "Add" again, then click "Show Contact Card," and I see something like "740ACE68-521B-4FDC-AA9B-42583457345...:ABPerson." When I click "Open with Address Book," again there's no entry.
    Running OS 10.7.5 I've run Disk Utility to Repair Permissions, but that hasn't helped. I've looked for any files including "Address Book" in Preferences and Cache, but there aren't any.
    Any ideas??
    Thank you!

    Just solved the problem myself after finally finding someone else had the problem. Had to change permissions of Users/[Username]/Library/Application Support/Address Book/AddressBook-v22.abcddb
    In case any one else has this problem!

  • Why can't I copy contacts' email address from their name card in lync 2010

    so here is the issue I have, when I need to copy someone's email addresses or their phone numbers, normally I will find them on lync, move the cursor on them, and their name card will show up, then I move cursor to their email address or their phone numbers,
    right click it, there will be an option to "copy", right? but sometimes, right clicking doesn't work. that copy option just won't pop up, this issue happens randomly, I need to restart lync, then it will work again. Also, there is one thing
    that's weird, after I restart lync, whatever I have copied in the clipboard will disappear, like if I press ctrl+c to copy something from word, then this issue happened, I restart lync, I can copy information in lync name card again, but all that
    content I copied does not exist in clipboard anymore, I press ctrl+v, there is nothing coming out.
     this is not a big problem, but it's really annoying, does anyone know why this issue happen and how to permanently? I tried to reinstall, does not work.
    this issues happens with both lync 2010 32 bit on 32 bit win7 and lync 2010 64 bit on win7 64 bit.

    Hi,
    Please try to delete Lync user profile and information in registry.
    The path of Lync user profile: <user profile>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Communicator\
    The path of Lync information in registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Communicator\[email protected]
    Please also make sure Lync client update to the latest version.

  • How can I get my contacts from Address book on my computer to iCloud?

    I recently updated my IOS on my iPhone and my iPad and, of course, lost all my contacts. I've followed the directions for enabling iCloud; however, my contacts are not being sent to iCloud. I checked my Settings on my phone, Info in iTunes, and Accounts in Contacts. Anyone know how I might resolve this?

  • Why can't I sync my .mac address book with my address book on my imac?

    Ive read all the instructions made sure all my settings and preferences are correct, but my .mac contacts simply wont download into my contacts book on my .mac
    Very very frustrating!
    Please help!

    here's some more information from michael lafferty, a frequent contributor:
    "You also need to understand that now is not a particularly good time to be dealing with .Mac Sync issues, because server side changes have been made to accommodate the release of Mac OS X 10.5, and synchronization between Mac OS X 10.3 and any later version of Mac OS X is no longer supported. Substantial performance problems evident over the last few days have also made life difficult for many .Mac users.
    "And, now more than ever—despite the likely slower response due to these changes and the large numbers of those likely affected—you should work with a .Mac support representative to resolve your registration or connection issue before attempting to reset your synchronization data. You've got the right idea, but you cannot proceed until you are able to connect and exchange information is a session with .Mac.
    "To trigger a support request, fill out the web form on the lower part of this page. The status indicators at .Mac show that the synchronization update is still in progress, and that users may not see expected results."

  • Lost contacts from address book with update

    lost contacts from address book with update to OSX 9.3  How do I get them out of cloud back into address book?

    When you log into iCloud with your browser, do you see your contacts online?
    If yes, go to System Preferences > iCloud > toggle sync contacts on/off.
    You might need to run the combo installer.
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 (Update (Combo)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1746
    MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
    Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
    Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.8.4 install from a regular update, just run the 10.8.4 Combo Updater on that system.
    "Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. If somehow the 10.9.2 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 it will still be stale after the delta update.

  • 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.
