Thanks Ronni

days.
Cheers

Hi John,
Ok, if you are not having any other problems in Leopard, you could
just reinstall the Address Book Application.
You will lose all the names you have in Address Book unless you want
to Export All your cards out as vcards & then Import them in when
you have the new Address Book installed.
You need your Leopard Installation Disc.
1. Delete Address Book Application from the Applications folder.
2. Insert your Leopard Installation disk into the computer.
3. The disk will appear on your desktop.
4. Double click on the "Optional Installs" folder.
5. Double click on the "Optional Installs.mpkg."
6. Click on (Continue) in Introduction.
7. Click on (Continue) in Software License Agreement.
8. Click on (Agree) to agree to the terms of the software license
agreement.
9. Click on the disclosure arrow ▶ next to Applications.
10.. Select (✓) Address Book
11. Click (Continue).
12.. After Address Book has been reinstalled, download and run the
10.5.7 Combo Update <http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_7_Combo_Update
>
to bring your system back up to date.
Let's know how you get on please.
Cheers,

Hi Ronni
I think you are right. There is no Address Book in the Library
although all the other Preferences/com.apple files are there.
Did you look in your Home /Library/Preferences/
com.apple.AddressBook.plist NOT your HD/Library?
Maybe reinstall part of Leopard again?
Are you having any other problems, or is this the only problem you
are experiencing in Leopard?

Hi John,
This is strange, I haven't heard of this happening.
Have you tried the Quit Address Book App & moving the ~/Library/
Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist to the desktop.
Then restart your Mac, then Open Apple Book.app?
The only thing I can think of is a corrupted preference file.
Try above and see if that makes a difference.

Hi Ronni
Yes I am using 4.1.2 in Leopard on Power PC table lamp.
My wife's Intel has 4.1.1 and it shows the window correctly.
Yes only the line "show first name" is missing.

Hi John,
Are you using Address Book.app version 4.1.2 in Leopard?
If you are using a previous version of Address Book.app in
Tiger, I don't think it had "Show first name: Before last name"
I can't really remember but it could have just had "Show first
name: Following last name" ...
Your Window shows everything the same as mine, except for the
"Show first name: Before last name"?

Hi John,
I'll put my reply back on list in case anyone else
experiences your problem.
Am I correct in understanding that in your Address Book
Application > Preferences that the Toolbar (Menu)
at the top of the Preferences Window does not show?
You do not see the toolbar at the top with "General",
"Template","Phone" etc icons?
If this is the case try: Quit Address Book.app & Move ~/
Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
to another location (desktop) and then restart Address
Book.app.
If that fixes your problem you can then trash the plist file
on your desktop.
Let's know how you get on please.

Ronni

Sorry Ronni
I meant Address Book Prefs. I see now I am missing the top
line which says "before last line" so I don't know how I
can expand the window to include it. The corner or zoom
doesn't do it.
Cheers

Hi John,
We are talking about Address Book.app General Preferences
not Mail General Preferences.
I've attached screen shot of the window I am talking about
to your email addressas It won't come to WAMUG list.

Hi Ronni
I'm having similar trouble but my Mail General Prefs
window seems to be partly hidden. At the top I can just
read "Following last name" immediately beneath the
toolbar and then "Sort by", "Address format" etc beneath.
It seems that there should be something more above
"Following last name".. How can I reveal the rest of the
window?
Cheers

Hi Bill,
In Address Book.app > Preferences - under General, do
you have "Show first Name: Before Last name" and "Sort
By: Last Name" selected?
