Contacts in the address book are gone

After I have updated to OS X El Capitan, my address book is empty. Is it possible to recover the contact cards?

Copy the path and paste it into go the folder (menu go in the Finder).

~/Library/application support/AddressBook

Close Contacts

When the folder opens, look in the metadata folder.

If you see a bunch of vCard files, return to the AddressBook folder and delete all the files in addressboook - v22.abcddb (three of them). Start Contacts and see if your contacts are displayed.

If you don't see all the vCard files, then restore your backup address book file.

  • How to share a contact in the address book by e-mail?

    I am trying to send email coordinated in a mailing list of my address book to a colleague. I have tried to go to the option of attachment but does not include the option to contact address book.

    Thank you

    What your correspondent need or want?

    It has well established standard for the exchange of contact information is the vCard that encapsulates many of the fields commonly used in a Contact entry.

    If a vCard file is suitable for you and your correspondent, this add-on:

    https://NIC-NAC-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html

    has a nifty feature for sending cards in attachments. Then your correspondent can probably just add to her address book. If you copy the simple details, such as name, address, e-mail address phone no, then the person has put everyone in his address book by hand.

    If you open the mailing list in your address book, you can probably drag each item in the body of a new mail message. But it's more work than necessary for you and the recipient, which will need to manually add everyone in his address book.

    With this module, you should be able to open the mailing list by selecting it in the address book, and then use ctrl + a to select all, then right click and select 'Send as vCard'; It will open a new message with all the attached selected Contacts.

    Lists have generally a standard presentation, so a list in the e-mail client is rarely useful in another. If you use Thunderbird, you can use this module to export the list to a .tha or THM file that could import another user of Thunderbird.

  • entering and using multiple e-mail addresses for one contact in the address book in Outlook Express

    You will need to have separate lists (and names) for each address in address book. For example...

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Can not add more contacts to the address book

    Hello

    I have a blackberry curve 8520.

    for the momment I 288 contacts but I can not add more. I go to the menu, address book, new contact, the window give me options, I add the information (name, phone, e-mail, etc.) and when I want to save the contact he does not save

    I tried to restart the removing the battery for a minute and reboot, but always with the same problem.

    Also, I figured out that when synchronize my bb with Desktop Manager, the address book is not sync that it says (address book not installed) and this is why I can't drag contacts to reinstall the info because I don't have to return to the top of the address book

    Please I need help with this question

    Thank you

    While there is no limit on how many contacts you can have on your device, there is a soft limit that you can have as many times as the memory of your device can handle. Check the available memory to see if you have any remaining space. If this isn't the case, then consider cleaning out / uninstallation of some things that you don't need to increase the memory available to more contacts.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not see contacts in the address book after you synchronize with PocketMac

    Model 8830. Macintosh OS 10.5.8. Latest version of PocketMac SYncManager 1.2 (1.4).

    Contacts have been working well. I have sync'd with PocketMac by ticking the peripheral crush, and first of all, I had a lot of duplicate addresses. Second sync seemed to delete ALL my contacts, but by checking the properties of the address book, it shows the 706 entries (twice what a book Mac address

    .)

    Nothing not done, I ran twice SyncClean and 'Reset all devices to the first SYnc State'. I have re-started the Mac and Blackberry several times.

    What to do next?

    I deleted all my data via the Options > Security Options > then wipe Handheld. Necessary for the re-registration

    the BB with the carrier and then by downloading my backed up address book & calendar

    Re-creation of speed dials, themes, ringtones, etc., but it cures the problem of address book.

    My calendar now has 3 copies of holiday in the United States, but I can live with that.

    I find it interesting that nowhere on the site Web Blackberry or PocketMac is there any

    clue on how to clean a calendar book or address munged. Maybe the next

    BlackBerry Desktop Manager will fix this problem.

  • Outlook - can not see contacts in the address book.

    I lost the address book in Outlook (Office 2007) when I migrated from Vista to Windows 7, I use Outlook as my e-mail program. I checked that the address book is enabled but I can't select the check in contacts in the properties box that says "show this folder as an e-mail address book", it is grayed out. I also tried adding an entry in the address book, and he came with a message to add a PAB file to your profile in the account settings. I've added as a PAB file under the data files - still does not work.

  • Automatically add contacts to the address book

    Is it possible and if yes, how can I do?

    Yes, Thunderbird can automatically add to the address book of collected addresses or address personal, if selected in the account settings > junk e-mail settings.

  • Is it possible to attach multiple files to a contact in the address book?

    I stopped using WinPIM for our small business when I paid for the sync option and it has stopped working. Because the devs don't understand much English, I could never solve this problem. I discovered on Thunderbird and go to calendar/address book/email program.

    The only thing missing to make it a PIM for business, it's that you should be able to attach multiple files to a contact. Currently, I am using the photo upload to join estimate/job a customer. But if the customer calls for additional work or in the case of entrepreneurs, we must be able to set each worksheet in contact with the contractor.

    A way to do this?

    UPDATE: I think I found a way to do it. I can reach the estimate for the event file created for the appointment. However, I have a problem because the Windows Photo Viewer is not an .exe file and Thunderbird allows you to choose an application program to associate to open the attachment. I tried to find Windows Media Center, but it does not under Program Files or Program Files x 86, even though I know that it is installed on my Windows 7 laptop, as it appears as an option for default programs for images.

    I'd appreciate any help I can find a way to open these without having to use Adobe Photoshop (my only other option).

    Picassa is a program to look at a picture. So yes, I have ideas, the install if you have something to select.
