Disk Warrior (current version) allowed me to fix things up sufficiently to be able to reinstall (install & archive) OS X. Tech Tool Pro wasn't going to let me do anything after messing things up- if I'd relied on that I'd have had to do some serious deleting! Now I have reinstalled OS X and I'm having a problem. My Address Book seems to have two personalities. When I try to open Address Book from within Mailsmith (my default mail program, which is otherwise operating normally), I cannot get it to appear. So that's one of them- the invisible one. I get the top line of the screen and preferences and so on for Address Book- just no actual address book window. But if I start up Address Book from within Applications, I get my old Address Book complete with all the old addresses. But it isn't the (apparently empty or incomplete) one that is accessed from within Mailsmith. Spotlight found a folder called "address book" inside library/application support. I wonder if this is the one that's causing the problem- or maybe its the one that has the data in it? So I'm wondering what is it I need to do to fix this. Any help with this would be most welcome! -- Mac UK is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac UK list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-uk.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-uk%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
