I can't find /Library/Application Support/AddressBook on my Time Machine Backup

Hello,


I am attempting to locate my contacts in my Address Book on my latest Time Machine backup. The Address Book is nowhere to be found in /Library/Application Support/AddressBook, nor anywhere else.


I don't have another Mac to restore a new HD from backup, so I'm left to figure out where my Address Book is.


Any ideas?

Mac mini, OS X 10.10

What Eric is pointing you to is that the AddressBook folder is contained in your User Library, this is noted by the use of this symbol ~ So follow the instructions from Eric and copy and paste the text ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook.


The path you had posted is for the main Library which you have found does not contain Application Support/AddressBook.
