No 'Address Book' in Application Support
Posted: Jan 21, 2008 3:39 PM
 

I am having a similar problem to a lot of other posters here in that my search feature in Address Book fails to find all possible matches. (In fact, I can be looking at a contact's name in the Contact Column, but when I search for that name, Address Book's search feature doesn't find the contact.) It seems that other posters have solved this problem by going to: userhome>Library>Application Support>Address Book>AddressBook-v22.abcddb and then trashing AddressBook-v22.abcddb. My problem is that once I get to Application Support, there is no Address Book file. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to repair my address book search feature?

Solved

you may be going to hard drive>librry>application support, while you need to go to homefolder>library>applicaiton support.

Be sure you are looking in the right place:

/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/. It's a folder, not a file, and it's located in your Home folder's Library.
