Backup of the address book problem

• Backup of the address book database

  I do not understand how do I back up my address book from my office (Snow Leopard) to my laptop (Snow Leopard).  Is no longer a "backup database" command.

  Help address book is singularly vague with its various references to MobileMe, vCards, etc.

  Could a wise old OWL if you please enlighten me.

  Clarifying question - backup or copy to use with the address book on the other computer? Try to open the address book, select the contacts you want (hold down the SHIFT key or command to select multiple contacts), and then file/export as vCards. On the other computer, to load into the address book, file/import.

  Are you sure that your question is about Firefox and not on Thunderbird?
  Firefox does not use a file history.mab

• Display problem of names in the address book correctly

  I managed to import my Outlook address book after mapping the fields apparently correctly, in particular to ensure that the first and family names are related to the correct fields. I find that they are not displayed separately but in a single column in the form firstname.surname. Can names be included separately so that I can sort by family name?

  Open the address book. In the menu, click on view: show the name as: last, first.

  It only will show it with last, first of all, but it will also sort that way now, as long as you have view: sort by: name ofvalue.

• 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 can I get the address book to sort by the name of 'Family' (using v 31.3.0).

  After a computer crash, I had to load Thunderbird (v31.3.0) in my computer running Windows 8.1, and I managed to import my address book backup file in Thunderbird (v31.3.0).
  My problem is that I don't see an option to sort the address book by name of 'Family', which was available with the version of Thunderbird, I had before the crash.
  How can I get the address book to sort by the name of "family"?

  "Address book".
  Select address book
  "View' > 'Show name as' > last/first". "

  You can sort by name.
  Click on the 'Name' column header to change the sort order,
  Reversed, then click on the 'Name' column header again to reverse the order.

  Or
  'View' > ' sort by ' > select 'Name' and 'Crescent '.

• Tour of blackBerry 9630 - entries in the address book multiple Smartphones / synchronize with Outlook 2007

  All data in Outlook is OK.  After the initial synchronization with Tower, everything looks OK.  After the opening address book two or three times, some entries

  That is what it is?

  You can try the following:

  Backup your data to the device as shown here. (We would not need the backup, but it is recommended any time you make a change to the data on the device).

• How can I get the address book to always open with personal addresses. It opens with "all address books.

  When addressing and e-mail, addresses always open with "all the address book. This book contains many addresses which are not intended for daily use for most of the mail I write or pass. I want to always open with "Personal address book" to shorten the research process. I have not had any problems with this before the last update.

  Firefox does not have email or have an address book, it is strictly a web browser.

  If you use Firefox to access your e-mail, you use "webmail". You must seek assistance from your service provider or a forum for this service.

  If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, let know us and we can move this thread to the queue of Thunderbird. This issue is currently in the queue of Firefox to get answers.

• The address book for email is all over that I can't do anything with it, why?

  There is no Toolbox at the top to let me add new contacts and now addresses that I received from my email do not yet show upwards and no way to get them back?

  Hi iklabunde,
  I assume you are using Windows 7 or 8/8.1 and have a recent version of Thunderbird, or the latest version.

  There seems to be two parties to your problem.
  (1) I guess you lost your bar menu and your toolbar of the address book which is usually at the top of the address book window.
  Try this. Open the address book. If it is already open, click on the window to make it active. Press the ALT key, then let go. The menu bar should appear. However, it is not permanent yet. Click on the Menu display-toolbars bar to make it permanent. Then click on Tools-Address Book display-toolbars toolbar for your tools for adding new contacts to show.

  (2) I also guess that you can't see the e-mail addresses, you may have access in the past.
  Try this. Click on view-page-directory component. A group of experts is expected to open to the left which has your different address books. Click on each of them in turn, and you should see your e-mail addresses reappear at some point.

  Hope this helps,
  Norio

• How to delete an address that appears, but is not in the address book.

• Save the address book

  using tb 31.2, ow to save the address book or is it saved profile? also, how to make contact groups?

  Open "address book".
  Select the address book that you want to export.
  Tools > export

  See the first picture below

  This should open a window "Export Address Book".
  Usually, he chooses a generic file location that can be accessed before saving files. See third picture below. In your case, it seems that you see this window with the profile indicated instead. No worries, simply select the right directory.

  If you see the profile folder - you do not want to export an address book in your profile - it's already there as a mbox file. Do not select this place - you have to choose a location outside Thunderbird.

  First, you will need to choose where to save the file. Select the correct directory and folder where you want to export the file to. Identical to save any document you have to choose where to save it.
  See the second image as an example on the choice of a different location or use the left file pane to select.

  In my example - see third picture below.
  I chose a folder that I had previously created called my backup files, a folder that is located in the same place in the form of Documents, downloads etc.
  Give a name appropriate to address book file.
  Save as Type: choose LDIF or comma separated .csv
  Click on the button Save.
