i'm running 10.8 on the last of the g3 powerbooks, and when i try to open address book, either from mail, or in the finder, it crashes without opening. this happenned with 10.6, and updating to 10.8 has made no difference.
My Macintosh address book does not open. After I click it on the task bar it bounces once and that's it. I've also deleted the icon from the task bar and tried launching it from the applications folder, but I get the same response.
When I open up Mail and click on the address book while composing a message, I can see the entries.
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.
One day I tried to open it and it immediately crashed giving me this error:Â Â

I can't open my address book. Whe I click on it and the menu bar on the top changes to address book but nothing shows on my screen. If I right click and choose "show all windows" then it appears but disappears when I try to click on it to use it. I have tried shutting down and restarting my computer.
my address book does not open or work (don't think it ever has but I never tried). I select it from the applications menu directly but it just appears like blink and then it's gone. I can't save any new ichat buddies or do much of anything.
I'm not a newbie but I've never had this kind of problem before.
Thinking about getting mobileme but it will be useless without address book.
I am running OS 10.7.3 on a 17 in MacBook Pro. I cannot open the address book as it crashes every time I try. However it supplies the email address properly to mail.
It keeps telling me to open iSync so that I can sync my address books. I have no iSync. It's not in my apps. It's not on my computer. Can't find where to download it.Â
Address-book doesnt work after update from Snow Lepard to Lion 10.7.3 PB says your address-book is 5.0.3. PB says You have adressbook 10.5.3, yes, but now?
I am running Address Book 5.0 on Snow Leopard on one machine, and want to share my contacts on another machine running OSX10.4.11, Address Book v4.0.....can this be done?
Using a G4 IBOOK with OS 10.5.8. Recently converted IBOOK from just my wifes computer to both of us so it is now dual usuage with both of us signing in to our respective files/e-mail, etc. My side has a problem never experienced before. My apple mail system address book has all the names the dock address book does but is missing almost 2/3rd of the actual e-mail addressess. I have tried to redo the dock address book in hopes it would change the "internal" mail book, but to no avail. It id difficult to add a recipient to an outgoing e-mail via the dock address instead of the apple mail address book.
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
Info: iMac (24-inch Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
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.
Info: MBP 2.4 Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.7.1), iPhone 3Gs, iPad 1 and 2
I've just been inputing email addresses into my Mac Address Book. One email at a time. All of a sudden it wipe every email address in then (over 4000) and left 2.
It wiped out all the Group Folders I had in there as well. Basically all I can view now is the 2 emails, nothing else. I've found some of the emails (only 50 or so) in a Recovered Files folder in the Trash.
I've discovered an extremely irritating bug in OS X. If you're using the trackpad when copying a file from the filelist in Finder to the sidebar, if your finger accidentally slips off the pad, the file disappears! It doesn't go to the sidebar, and it doesn't remain where it was originally. Great undocumented feature of OS X.
Anyway, since the file I was trying to copy was addressbook.app, I can't run the addressbook anymore. I've read where the only way to reinstall the addressbook is to reinstall OS X entirely including all the updates that have been installed previously. Does anyone know of a way that I can just reinstall that one application instead of having to go through the reinstallation of the entire OS?
I tried using an SD card and that didn't work. Tried Migration Asst with firewire and that didn't work. One of those probably will work, I figure I am just doing some wrong. I just want to move the address book and nothing else. With migration asst I just checked folders and apps.
Have any of you run across this annoyance after upgrading to SL? I had about 30 accounts that I call on that were listed as Company that all of a sudden showed up in my address book as either NoName or NoEmail. I found the solution to fixing this was to go to each address listed and tic the little box next to the word Company under First Last name. Luckily, I only had about 30 of these to manually fix, I feel sorry for those who have 100's of names to fix. You probably wonder why I did not have the Company box checked, well in all honesty, it did not matter whether you did or not under OS X Leopard, now for some reason some programmer thought it necessary to make it necessary to check the company box.
Unfortunately I have had an e-mail friend pass away, I went to try to delete his name and address from my address book and after deleting his name and address it now appears in my address book as "No Name" and blank info. How do I get it to just plain delete?
I want to import the address book from my desktop to my laptop, both Mac Pros running snow leopard. I have a time machine backup from the desktop, but cannot figure out how to import the address book into the laptop address book.
I would prefer to be able to select a single address in Address Book, copy it and paste it into a Word or Pages doc. That seems to be a pretty basic feature that Apple seemed to forget about. I don't necessarily just want to create a vcard but that's pretty much all I can do. Apple needs to work on this.
I want to add the info I keep in these two programs to my daily backup. I use Backup btw. Anyone know where the info is actually kept? I did some searches, and it seems maybe to be in the Apps themselves? Can't be sure.
Since installing Snow Leopard my Address Book does not sort alphabetically. (I wish I'd not bothered with SL - it's made no noticeable improvement just caused a series of small problems.) iMac, OSX 10.6.1, Intel.
