Thanks Alex,

That's very clever.

Unfortunately the only data that is showing is from end December 2009. My Entourage data is more recent, so I'll use that, but why would the Address Book data not be current? That seems odd to me.

Just open Address Book, keep in in focus as the main application and then "Enter Time Machine" here you can select the records you want to restore and bring them all back.

Hope this helps

Hello,

I am running 10.5.8 on an iMac G5

All my AddressBook contacts have gone.

I realised things were going wrong when I was syncing my iPhone and found no data in Address Book on my iMac. Now it's wiped all the Contacts from the iPhone too. They were there this morning on the iPhone. I made a change one contact on the iPhone so I know that was fine at that time.

The iMac and the iPhone sync with MobileMe - gone from there too. :-(

I have Time Machine.  :-)

I have gone to /Users/<yourusername>/Library/"Application Support"/"Address Book and restored the Address Book folder from mid yesterday afternoon when I know Address Book was working as I was sending emails from Mail and Address Book was putting in names.

Still no data showing up :-(

Any tips?


Fortunately I DO have Entourage that I was using until a month or so ago, so can resurrect my data from there if all else fails, but it's out of date so is my least preferred option. Things are getting desperate when I rely on Entourage!!

Thanks
Tim
