• Backup of the address book problem

  I have been using Apple AddressBook since its launch. I recently started having problems with good backup. Normally, I backup every day, and it's really quick like less than a minute. The last few weeks it takes "forever" at the end of backup. I can do other things while AB is the support up and finish that takes me an hour or more and it is not always done. I tried a few times to just stop smoking it and then there is '0' for the size of the file or it ends really huge. If I let it go until it ends it is 'normal size' as it used to be when it took less than a minute for the backup. Any ideas?

  You only back up address book or you back up all your data? How do you back up?

• Database of blackBerry Smartphones the address book not available for synchronization

  ... "For help to resolve this problem, refer to KB19454 in the Knowledge Base of Blackberry Desktop Manager".

  I did, and it says this:

  Cause 1: the BlackBerry smartphone does not contain the PIM application you are trying to synchronize with. For example, the screenshot above error has occurred as a result of the application of tasks is not installed on the BlackBerry smartphone.

  Then, of course the BlackBerry has the address book app installed, and if it wasn't the cause.  I followed some of the sons of other related expenses and came up with nothing.

  I synced before - first time that successfully, this worked great, the second time that he kept failing, so I changed the setting to REPLACE my address book on the BlackBerry each sync, who has worked several times, and now this.

  GRRRR... of ideas?

  Worked like a champ, with the only exception to the process.  When I looked at my address book to the end, he had more than one entry for each record.  So I went back to the process, but this time, before you reconnect and resynchronize, I deleted manually additional entries - for some reason, they were still there, even though I "erased" address book information!  I'm guessing that these entries were originally a part of the problem.  Anyway, once deleted I've reconnected, resynced ' by replacing ' content of the BB for the address book - and now I have great 2-way synchronization job. "  Thank you!

• What does Time Machine to the top of the address book?

  I use OS X El Capitan (10.11.5) and AddressBook application.

  I created a bunch of groups in the address book and must have one accidentally deleted because he disappeared. I use Time Machine and it seems to be compatible with the address book, so I thought I could just go back to an older version, but I can't seem to make it work.

  If I enter Time Machine from the address book application, I see the old backups to return indefinitely. I have chosen one a week ago and restored, but I don't see the old group. In fact, there are always new groups that I just created today.

  So I did not understand what actually have backed up by Time Machine. Is this just backup contact records, but not groups?

  When I restore, it restores the entire database or just a folder that I'm looking?

  Thanks in advance for any suggestion or advice!

• Error: Could not open address book database

  I use the Palm Desktop software with copyright 1992-2001.  I've initially used a Palm IIIxe, but not used for years. However, I found that the address book was helpful on my desktop computer that is running Windows XP.  I had left my computer over the weekend and had used with LogMeIn on my computer at home, as I often did in the past; However, I did not open the Palm Desktop address book last weekend.  When I went to access yesterday, I got the above error message.  Of course, the manual provided with the software and the Palm IIIxe had no recommendation on how to fix this error.  I don't even know if I still have the original IIIxe Palm and even if I do, I think that it stops working.  Does anyone know how to restore the database?  Help!

  Glad you were able to recover at least what you were doing.  The primary data file has been damaged and there is no way to recover that.  The presumption with Palm Desktop, it's that synchronize you with a portable device that would have been able to replace the copy damaged on the desktop with the current version.  Because that has not been done, the .bak file is based on the last synchronization.  At least you have that.

  If you hold that current file recreated data, your best bet is to make a copy of occasional backup of it, perhaps on a flash drive.  You can also export a copy of it (check the menu file in Palm Desktop for your export options).

  And then, for an amount reasonable, you could probably purchase a device Palm of opportunity on eBay or elsewhere, to Hotsync with.  I suggest you a Palm TX.  My data backup only with Hotsync in my office, but also directly to a SD card installed on the device.  This backup on SD is done automatically every day, and if something happens to your handheld data loss, I'm about 45 seconds a full restore from the SD card.  I like the redundancy.

• Warm the address book sync from PC to Palm IIIxe

  After buying a PC without a serial port, I have a card installed and connected handheld. I tried to Hotsync the device but I get an error message that the program could not open address book database. Clicking ok on this message, another pops up telling me there was an error opening of the contact database and a new empty database is created and the original database file has been renamed to C:\Program Files\Palm\username\address.002.dat.

  Whenever I try to hotsync, I get the same messages and it keeps creating a numbered sequence file. No idea of what is happening here and how I can fix this problem? Contact Db is in the PC and I saved on a drive to the case where. I am using Windows XP Pro and I didn't have this problem before.

  I'm naïve here... Please help!

  Ok. Looks like you will have to do a 'clean' of Palm desktop and re uninstll - install.

  With he data in Palm desktop, export the data for backup purposes. Here are the instructions to do so.

  The best way to protect your data is to export the data in each category of Palm Desktop in a separate folder on your PC.

  Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that suits. Name it something like Palm Desktop data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on this page for the export procedure.

  http://www.Palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?id=28734

  Make sure you only select everything for the beach in the export window.

  With the data stored in the created folder, make a copy of this file and save it on a USB key, cd - rw or external hard drive.

  Whenever you change in Palm Desktop, export the data that has been changed in this file and save again to external media.

  With this process you can always import the data in Palm Desktop, whenever you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop, or if your computer/hard drive/device crash.

  Once the data is exported and saved, clean uninstall Palm desktop and re-install. Here are the instructions. Once Palm desktop is re-installed, importing data in Palm desktop, change the ducts to the office replaces handheld and sync.

  You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
  is happening. You can find your data files by going to C:\Program Files\Palm or
  A Palm. Highlight your Palm Desktop user name and right click and copy.
  Then, go to the desktop of your PC, right-click on a blank spot block and select.

  If this is the first time, you install Palm desktop and encounter a problem, go to the previous step.

  For Palm desktop 6.2, look in the following location for folders and files, my documents, desktop PalmOS. You will find the username folder in this place.

  Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove anything that has to do
  with Palm Desktop on your computer. As the folder above, remove the Palm folder. Once this is done, you need to delete some registry keys
  your registry PC operating system.

  Word of warning, go here and removing the wrong thing can cause your PC
  No start, crashing and deleting programs and data. If you feel
  you're not sure of yourself, see if you have a friend who can help you or a
  PC technician that you can pay to help you. This will show them all
  Should be deleted. To keep your current registry settings, we have a backup of the registry.

  On the PC, go to start and run Type "regedit" without the quotes

  Select WORKSTATION, browse to the file--> export. Should appear with a save as
  box. Current place of residence is very well should be in My Documents, or you can change in a location that you will remember. In the file name box, type "Regbackup [todaysdate]" i.e. Regbackup07072008. Then, the most difficult part.

  The best way to ensure that your work with the right key, select the key that is installation quick palm and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are
  make sure you. Say Yes. Do the same for all the keys below.

  If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
  BUT do not turn off your computer.

  The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of the theses reg keys won't be here)
  But if they remove them)

  * Installation quick HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm
  * Transfer of files Robotics\PalmOne HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S.
  * Robotics\Pilot Office of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S.
  * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
  * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
  * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
  * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
  * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
  * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm

  Then restart your computer

  Then, reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If she asks
  you for a user name, enter the name that is on your device in the upper right of the screen to hotsync.

• I do not see my addresses in the address book

  Hello

  I just reinstalled Windows 7 Pro (I had to) and I managed to reinstall Thunderbird, then point it to my existing profile as my email now displays correctly.

  The problem is that my address book seems to be empty now. I checked and my abook.mab and history.mab files are located and have content (13.1 K and 16.8 K respectively) have been dated to shortly before the reinstall. When I bring my address book, however, it seems empty.

  Is there something more I should do to get my address book will display correctly?

  Unfortunately I don't have an exported backup or anything sensitive like that.

  In which case it is important:

  Windows 7 Professional
  Thunderbird 31.4.0

  I don't know if the version of Thunderbird I was running was a little different than that I just installed. My previous version of Thunderbird has been reasonably aware.

  There is a possibility that you have more than one profile. Look at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_how-to-find-your-profile and then look in the same directory to see if there is another * file *.default.

  If so, see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-multiple-profiles to switch to another profile, and search for your address book. If you find, export using the LDIF format and then switch your main profile and import addresses.
  NOTE: no matter what name you give the exported address file becomes the name of the address book when you import it!

  Still no joy? Watch abook.mab with Notepad; It is a text file. Browse down to see if you have your address book entries.

  Let me know what you find.

• How to select and copy text from the address book of lightning, against duty open entry?

  I know, it is not possible to highlight and copy the text visible in the pane above it, with all the entries in address book or Contact. Am I missing a way to do this?

  It would, of course, the use of the address book in lightning much easier and faster to use if we could do. Please note that I did not edit. Instead, it is necessary to go through the same steps as if editing. That is, open properties and select the appropriate tab, highlight & copy said information, instead just to be able to quickly copy the text you want.

  It's just two more clicks and the conclusion of the text, which can be cumbersome in some Windows Small field, especially for the notes, but when you do it often, he of course becomes a pain. Notes, in particular, becomes a mini database to enter address, be it your personal record for product information for something (which could be extended if many of the parts of something like a specific computer have been identified), bought to share other contact information.

  A third is used especially when we need to get impossible to remember, like your BTC account security information. Keeping in the address book on a home computer, adds a little more security, but you can access it easily.

  Add more functions to the AddressBook allows several functions of copy.

  Hi John,.

  Try to locate your data from outlook express:

  Click on start-> Run & paste-> %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities

  You will see the folders as {xxxxxx-xxxx-xxx-xx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} click-> Microsoft-> Outlook Express, you should be able to locate the DBX files, these are the outlook database files. Ideally, you should see inbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbx... check the size of the file.

  Now to get it back on outlook express, open outlook express-> click on tools-> Options-> maintenance-> the storage location.

  Click on change location, and then select the location that you have your data in.

  For the address book, see: click Start-> Run and paste the following:

  %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book

  Address book with wab extension, these should reflect your Outlook Express user name.

  I hope this helps.
