Why does my edit button not show in Address Book?

I have installed Lion on my laptop; however, I am not able to edit any Address Book entries. After doing some research, I have learned that I am missing the "Edit Button" that is supposed to appear on a contact that will enable editing. My Edit button does not appear - I have only "Add Contact" and "Share" buttons. Why does my edit button not appear?
I have not noticed any other issues with Lion.
Thanks!

Try this:
Select "Go" from the finder whilst holding down the Alt key and "Library will drop down in the list.
Library/preferences/ and delete this : com.apple.AddressBook.plist
re-start your comp and it should work.
This . plist will re-create itself when re resart all nice and clean and fresh.
Should work, it does for most things.
Good Luck

Why isn't the edit button not showing in my ESX24 sampler?

why isn't the edit button not showing in my ESX24 sampler?

Is that during installation when you see the two icons.. the one on the left looking like a Garageband guitar icon, the one on the right like the Logic Pro platimum record icon?
Yes.. that one.. with the choice to click on which option you want/are coming from...
p.s. I'll probably aquire a Mac Mini this fall then upgrade.... I mean repurchase!
I think I managed to grab one of the last of the 2011 refurb'ed MMS's.... at that super low price Apple were selling them for... before they bumped it up and now, they seem to have none left at all at any price
However, just in case, I have found this site really useful at keeping track of Apple's refurb stock... and pricing

Why does the calender do not show the right time if you want to choose 10, 11, 12 o'clock or any other time with 1x:00? It only shows 1:00 and there is no way to change the time to 1x:00.

Ok well you need to get your facts straight. You say the reason to upgrade to OS 4 but half of these have to do with the new iPhone 4 and not the OS. Two totally different issues

Hi laura,
I suspect that your 2 decimal place numbers are formatted as text. Change the format of the column to currency and see it that works.

Contact information not showing in address book

Migrated from Snow Leopard to Mavericks and the address book shows no contacts. The data appears to have been correctly imported into my user folder > library > application support > address book folder (but the icons show up as "Unix / Terminal" not "blank").
I've run permission repair and daily / weekly / monthly maintenance routines to no avail.
Any suggestions?

After several days of trying, i finally seem to have it working. What i ended up doing was exporting my backing up my addresses on another computer that still had Snow Leopard on it. I exported both as .abbu and vCards. I was then able to get the vCards into iCloud.
Problem was, i could not get them to import into Contacts in Mavericks. I could not even add the iCloud account to contacts. It would let me sign in and choose contacts, but iCloud never showed up in the accounts nor did the contacts show up in Contacts.
After trying repairing permissions and resetting the PRAM to no avail, it occured to me to delete the Address Book folder from /Library/Application Support
Once that folder was gone, i was able to add iCloud to the accounts and import the .abbu file from Address Book.
So if you did not export your Address Book contacts before updating, you will need a second computer that is still running Snow Leopard to export the contacts. Then you can delete the Address Book folder from the Library and you should then be able to import the contacts into Contacts on Mavericks.
Hope this helps.

Why does the "mute" button not "mute" the new iPad?

Hi,
the problem drives us crazy.
We bought the new iPad on launch Day and every other App (like Hotel Dash) does play Sounds even though the iPad is muted. Really anoying are "between Level" Ads or "pause Ads" (like in Wedding Dash, Lost Luxuries) which started playing while my wife was in the Subway.
The mute Button should turn the iPad to mute without exceptions. How can we fix it? Or do we have to return the new iPad?
Regards
Tim

Thanks for your Reply. The Problem is, we are not listing to Music or watching an Movie - we are using an App, which plays Advertisement.
Game Sounds do not play at all, but the Advertisement is playing at full Volume. This should not happen.
Ok it is "not a bug it's a feature" or just abuse by App Developers, which i have no controll over? I have to use the volume rocker all the time? Why put a "mute" button on an iPad?
As you were told, the mute button mutes system sounds. Other sounds are muted via the rocker. That's the way it is.

Why does the external drive not show up on the desktop.

My wife has a G5 (iSight). When we turn on the external drive it does not mount. We have tried restarting the iMac with the external drive on and it still does not show up. What is the problem and what is the fix?
Thanks

Is it by chance a WD MyBook? They are known for problems like that. Could be the cable -- try a different one. Or it could be the Firewire port on the computer. Try a different port on the computer or on the external, if it has one. Have a look at this Apple article with other troubleshooting steps.

Why does an installed extension not show up in my PS CC Extensions?

The Adobe Watercolour Assistant extension show up in my Extension Manager CC as being installed for Photoshop CC. However the extension does not show up in my Extensions in Photoshop CC. And it does not appear anywhere in my Adobe Exchange Panel. When I do a search inside of Adobe Exchange, I get the message, "No products found." What's going on, and how do I get the extension to show up inside of Photoshop?

Sounds like some of the templates provided by apple. Google lorem ipsum for info on the filler text used.

Why does my paid presets not show up in lighroom 5.6

I purchased Presets for lightroom by miracle design and installed it with creative cloud. Creative cloud and adobe extension manager show that it is installed but presets are not showing in lightroom.

Since there are no free Miracle Design LR presets, I can’t experiment and tell you my experience with the install process. Have you done what it says in the “Where to find it” tab?

Toplink Expression - edit button not showing all possible field names

Hi,
i use Jdev 11g (11.1.1.0.1) with TopLink. I created a Toplink mapping and everything works well. I now want to create another named query with a selection criteria, but the Edit-Button in the Expression Builder for the selection criteria isn't working well. If i click the button nothing happens, but JDev freezes for about 15 sec. Anyone else with this problem ?
Thanks,
Friedrich

You should put all your menus in the root menu.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

'Other Address List' not showing in Address Book

I'm trying to create an customized address list that will appear in the address book. I've placed the contacts into a contacts folder, and placed this contacts folder into a .pst file. This way, I can distribute this .pst file for others to use the same
address list.
I'm aware that I have to tick 'Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book', under the properties of the contact folder.
This address book does show up under 'Other Address List' -> name of the address book, when we look at the address book drop down list. This is when I only have 1 email account under the same Outlook profile.
When I have more than 1 email account under the same Outlook profile, this address list shows itself under the 2nd email account, and not 'Other Address List'.
Is this by design or could it be a bug? Is there a way to fix this / any workarounds? Thank you!
FYI I am waiting for verification of my account as I can't post pictures or links. I've already completed verification by clicking the link. Maybe there's a delay somewhere.
Update : images uploaded.

Hi,
I tested this issue and I can reproduce it in my environment. However, as far as I know, this behavior won't affect the usage of the address book.
I searched the internal resource but I cannot find a bug report regarding this issue. If you have any suggestion about this issue, you can submit a feedback via:
