OS X Mavericks :: Contacts App Does Not Save Any Changes
Sep 4, 2014
I've got an annoying problem: The contacts app on my Mac does not save any changes.
I made a clean install today. iCloud sync on, everything is fine. I setup a new user, so I could give screen sharing and file sharing rights to a user with another mac.
Now, I cannot change any contacts in my contacts.app any more.
I checked the rights for Library etc. and gave the Admin and the user accounts again full read and write permissions.

I'm on a 17" mid 2010 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.3. When I open contacts and try to add a new contact then click done or save it doesn't save after closing. My entry will only exist until closing, when I open up contacts again it's gone. Also I cannot delete a contact. I thought this built in app could just be deleted and a fresh instal could be downloaded but can't find it anywhere

It seems that the contacts app has suddenly become incapable of accessing my contacts in the cloud. Its fine on icloud.com, its fine on my phone, and its fine on my ipads. However, I'm getting an error message right now which I think must be to do with an update to Little Snitch which I did almost immediately before, and which necessitated a reboot. Since the reboot, I am seeing the following
Of course, this also means Messages doesnt work. LS is not blocking any icloud things, and calendars and mail are still working with no issues.

When trying to Save a document, I am presented with the Save As dialog. The file name has a serial number added to the old file name and the default destination is the Documents file. This happens whether I have tried to save using Command-S or using the Save option in the File menu. This started after I upgraded to Mavericks.

I have noticed my contacts on my macbook are not synchronizing with iCloud. I have 20 contacts more on my matchbook than I have in iCloud. Since I have more than 500 contacts I don't know which ones I'm missing.I also have double contacts in my 'all contacts' but I cannot delete them. I trust my iCloud contacts, but there are at least 20 contacts missing there.

I can no longer add or delete any contacts in Contacts. I am running Mavericks, 10.9.3 and I have an IPhone 5 which is up to date on its software. I have tried having iCloud syncing on and off and still cannot add or delete contacts on my MacBook Pro (brand new; with Retina display). I have looked for a preference file and cannot even find one that seems to be for Contacts. I can remove contacts from my iPhone, and I can sync it with my laptop, but the contacts I deleted on the phone are not deleted on the laptop. When syncing, which I have tried doing both wired and wireless, it takes forever to finish, it if it does at all. I usually let it set at working on step 5 for about 5 minutes before I just click the round "X" and dismiss the sync box.

Lots of people want to know how to deal with duplicates, but I want to know how to duplicate a card. And this makes sense; one of my clients has much info in his card; all I want is to duplicate the card and change the name to another person at the same company.
Don't see how, though?
I'm on 10.9.3, and the latest iOS.

Ever since upgrading to Maverick, my Contact program has accumulated multiple copies of Groups and the program runs extremely slowly. Is there a fix?

I run Contacts on both my iPad2 and my iMac; I find that in the listing to the left of the Contacts on the iMac, 'All iCloud' appears twice; one with 519 entries (which is correct) and the other with 78 entries, 77 of them also in the other one. They are synced via iCloud, not iTunes; I've tried to sort this by exporting the vCards to my desktop and then attempting to trash Contacts and reinstall but this is not permitted as it's 'required by OSX', which seems reasonable. It sometimes becomes a problem when I'm using lists and discover that some people are not on the list I am using because - for some inexplicable (to me, at least) reason, they're on the other iCloud list.

How can you show a list of contacts (or buddies if you're using another IM/Chat like Yahoo) that is docked in, connected to, separate column or sub-window of the main Chat window...
I looked through all the Menu bar items and preferences and didn't see a single thing.If I activate my Yahoo chat profile/user a floating window pops up, but I can't find any info regarding combining the 2 windows / showing all info in 1 window.

A new Address book contact entered on the Mac syncs to my ipads, but a new entry created on the ipad does not show up on the Mac. An EDIT to an entry on the ipad syncs to the Mac. So I can't make new cards on the ipad and expect them to show up on the Mac.

I am trying to figure out why I can select some email addresses from senders, and when I right click, I get the option to add that address to my contacts, while in others this selection is missing. In either case, the email address or contact IS NOT in my contacts.

there is anyway to modify the appearance of Calendar and Contacts in OS 10.9. Any app that modifies the appearance of either of these apps? I tried the trial version of Busy Cal but it preserves the look that I find so displeasing in OS 10.9's calendar. I was happy with earlier iterations of these apps, but now they seem glaring and ugly - - so much so that I am thinking of returning to OS 10.8.5. In general, I have found no significant improvements in OS 10.9.4 - - in regards to my work at least - - and somewhat less stability.

I have a new MacBook Pro and have discovered Messages. I love how I can continue my conversations from my iPhone, however none of the contact details are there - they are only numbers and email addresses. How do I link Message to Contacts so it has the contact info for each person?

More details: I used to be able to upload photos of people into Address Book (now Contacts) from wherever I had them stored on my MacBook Pro or separate drive. Now that I have upgraded to Mavericks I am being told that this is only possible using iCloud or Face (Aperture). I do not store my photos on iCloud and have no intention whatsoever of doing so. Is there a way around this or do we need to tell Apple that this needs to be restored.

Recently switched computers to a MacBook Pro, and have my other iMac's desktop drive now in an enclosure. It failed while inside the older machine, but seems to operate just fine as an external hard drive. I would like to access the iTunes/iPhone recent backup/restore files, as well as the Contacts/Addressbook files. I understand that, using the Finder's "Go," command, and holding the option key, present the crucially hidden "Library" folder...
Can this be done with an external hard drive, therefore presenting the needed files for extraction, or "drag-and-drop" style, into appropriated folders? If so, what commands would one use to show these files? By simple navigation, they are not shown in the main Library- Application Support folders. (I was able to locate and transfer the regular iTunes Library .xml file, for Apps & Music; however, that isn't the iPhone backup files)

Recently my iCloud account was hacked and all my Contacts were erased. This also caused all my Contacts on my iPhone and iMac to be erased as well. I can restore my Contacts from a Time Machine Back up to my iMac "Address Book", however as soon as I connect back to iCloud, all the contacts are erased. I tried to restore my iPhone from an earlier iPhone backup which restored everything, as far as I know, except the Contacts. I don't have a huge number of contacts or groups, so I don't care if the group information is lost. There seems to be some conflicting information on how to do this correctly, so I'm asking what the current best practice is to restore all my contacts from a Time Machine Backup to iCloud.

I have about 150 contacts that I want to export as individual vCard files. Is there a way to export them like this in one go? i.e. select 150 contacts in the contacts app, select export, press some other key ( perhaps Option ) and have it create 150 cards.

Messages continually asking for access to contacts at boot-up. Third install of Mavericks and first time I have experienced this. Do not believe Messages is loading at boot-up. How do you turn it off.

I searched on this topic and just find old references to "Address Book" which i guess does not exist anymore.
I have an Excel worksheet of about 200 names, street addresses, and email addresses, one contact in each row. One column is the email addresses, which is all I want. If I could get the names too that would be nice.
I try the Contacts import command, but cannot import the section of the worksheet I want. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I highlight the contacts column in the worksheet and go to the file with the Contacts import command and find it is "dimmed" -- I cannot click on it.

Twitter and LinkedIn update fine, but Facebook just hangs when I click "Update Profile Photos..." from "Internet Accounts" in System Settings.
The only clue is this output from Console but I have no idea what it means. (This is just the first few lines, not the entire output.)

I have a bunch of contacts in my Apple Contact book but am using Outlook for Mac 2011 for email, contact management, and calendar. I have read that you have to sync your Apple contact book to your exchange account rather than directly to the Outlook for Mac 2011 programs so you don't create duplicates (contacts coming from the Apple address book AND the Exchange server). However, I can't find anything that tells me how to sync the Apple Contacts with my Exchange account. I figure at that point once synced, my exchange account will push the new contacts from the Apple Contact book back into Outlook for Mac 2011 making everything whole.
