I needed a phone number last night...when I went into the Address Book, the contact and related page was gone. This is very scary as I have numbers for relatives in a foreign country, and other important information contained in the Address Book. Â
I started a new card, entered the info, saved the data, and closed the Address Book. When I went back it was gone AGAIN!Â

I am having this BIG problem with address book in Lion. There are hundred of thousands of unknown entries in my address book. More than twice I have deleted all of them they come back again. My MacPro is hard to use when it happens, I can hear the sound of the hard drive working and if I open the address book app then it slows down the MacPro. I was thinking about uninstalling the address book app and the reinstalling it but I do not know of to do that or where to use the info in order to do that. I would like to be able to keep my good entries, but what can I do!

I use a Mac running OS X 10.4.11. This morning I tried opening my address book and got the "spinning pinwheel of death" that lasted 10-15 min. "Force Quit" wouldn't work, so I had to hard reboot. When I tried to open my address book all the entries were gone. I back up everything automatically continuously on an external hard drive and when I try to access the address book backup file, it says "You cannot open the application "Address book" because it may be damaged or incomplete".

I think I may have done some weird syncing thing on my phone resulting in many numbers disappearing from it so I want all the entries on mac address book to be updated. This should solve all the problems as on mac address book they're fine. Without manual updated all 500+ of them, do you know of a speedy way of doing?

Info:iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
After syncing with iCloud (three computers and a phone) suddenly I am seeing multiple entries for the same contact in the address book and multiple entries in the calendars for the same event. How to stop this and how to delete the multiple entries without having to manually delete each item? The new Address book does noit seem to have a list view that shows the entire address book 9only shows addresses with two or three alphabets. Is there a setting to prevent this from happening? The value of iCloud is lessened when these issues crop up and there seems to be no defined method to fix the problem. I see numerous entries on the Support Community boards with the same problem.

New entries in the Address Book on my MacBook Pro do not show up on my iPhone and iPad. Changes to existing contacts do! Who understands what's going on and what to do to remedy this?

I have noticed that company entries in the Address Book don't seem to work like "person" entries in Mail. If I have a "person" named (for example) "John Doe", I can email that person just by typing "John Doe" in the To: section, and selecting from a list that populates automatically. However, if the address-book entry is for a company (e.g. Dave's Florist), it doesn't seem to work at all. And since Mail doesn't seem to have "address" functionality that lets you select from the Address Book, it seems like the only option is to go into the address book, copy the e-mail address, to back to mail, and paste.

how to specify which of several email addresses should be used for a member of a group. It starts by selecting the menu item "Edit > Edit Distribution List." From there it explains how to select the desired address for a specific person. All well and good...Â
BUT...Â
Try as I might, doing various combinations of name or group selections in the address book window, I cannot seem to get the "Edit Distributuion List" item to be un-greyed. Effectively, the program is not allowing me to do the edit function I need to do on this one group member.Â
Am I missing the secret handshake in this process? Why should it be this hard to do this simple function?Â
Which raises the larger question of "What did Apple do to the Address Book application in general?" This issue is only the tip of my iceberg. The whole app seems to be harder to use than before.Â

I must be missing something very obvious, but I can't seem to set Address Book to add all new contact info as "Work" entries. I have to edit every new entry and change all the fields from "other" to "work." This appears to happen when I "grab" phone or email info from an email message.

Address Book in Lion was working for me initially, but at some point within 10.7.2 and into 10.7.3 it began to malfunction. It shows all the addresses. If I search, it ignores this completely. If I single click on an entry, it does not show the details of that entry, but still displays the first entry details. If I double click the entry, a new windows pops up with the actual details for that entry. I have tried deleting the db and various pref files to no avail. Sync with iCloud is enabled.

My Address Book won't open on my IMAC- It worked this morning but I must have hit something to hide. I tried right click on icon and have tried - show all windows, Options, Hide and Quit. When I click "show all windows" the last address I was viewing pops-up, but once I click on the window, it immediatly disappears.

I have many printed sheets of contacts that I need to import to address book. Other than manually typing or through the magic of ocr (url...) then copying and pasting to address book, is there an easy way to input these contacts?I've found world card mobile (url...) on the iphone where I can take photo's of the contacts and the apps ocr will correctly put about 80% of the proper information in but the phone runs out of batteries and it's about the same time as copying and pasting.
I'm wondering is there a computer version of world card that would at least put the information in the right spot and I can make just minor adjustments. Or is there a way that I can make the pdf in to an excel or numbers format and the use one of those excel to vcard apps to do it all in one shot? it's a lot of contacts, over 10k.

But mainly my complaint is I can't add notes to my address book. My cursor will not enter the "note" field nor is there a way to edit a card after it's created. There is no simple "edit" card selection or button. Nor is there a way to delete cards.Â
