Is there any way to use the classic layout of Address Book from Snow Leopard, in Lion?
I tried running the Address Book app from Snow Leopard, but it gets an error when opening in Lion.
I think the new Address Book is ugly and far less functional than Leopard's.
An option to use the old layout and design would be MUCH appreciated!
WE want the snow leopard address book interface and FUNCTIONALITY back! ASAP
FYI: APPLE
if I wanted a tradition book look to my address book. i would go out and by a little black book and a pencil
the reason I bought my computer was because I wanted a more efficient way to access my contact & calendar data
it's impossible to use the LION address book or ical fake leather layout look.
LION address book and iCal (look) are STUPID UGLY and EXTREMELTY frustrating - Childish and HIDEOUS
LION address book and LION iCal are BIG LOSERS!
and we used to think of apple as having great taste
APPLE used to be the best in DESIGN FUNCTIONALITY and Sophistication
DUE to these MAJOR design FLAWS in two of the most important - frequently used OS X applications
I have lost respect for apple
please update with a FIX to this #1 LION issue
I guess Apple took notice. They've used a three pane layout in Mountain Lion from what the Developer's version shows.
What I hate is the fact that I can't do group mailouts from address book like I used to. Smarten up Apple and fix this!
Don't upgrade! Address book and mail suck.
Now, don't hold me to this... but I saw an image of Mountain Lion's ABand it seems that groups are back in a 3-pane view.
I AM PRAYING ! The way it is now is a big piece of ..... !
Here are some instructions for fixing Mail:
Go to preferences in the Mail menu.
Viewing icon or tab, and then click "Use classic layout"
I wish to thank Apple for the 3 pane Address Book, now Contacts in latest Mountain Lion 10.7.8 beta.
It is okay, but unfortunaelty it is not so functional as it is in Snow Leopard.
The reason are:
1- No full screen.
2- No chance to resize the panes the way we want with full screen.
3- Will smart groups be supported by iCloud / Mountain Lion ? This is not possible in Lion !
Regarding my previous post, the corret is 10.8 beta and not 10.7.8 beta. Sorry !
We can only write
I want the old "Address Book" in Lion and Lion Mountain, the new versions, also contacts Mountain, are uncomfortable!
please write someing on Apple OSX feedback page!
Someone is able to patch "Address Book" for Snow Leopard to make it work even on Lion?
Option to use Leopard's Address book layout in Lion...
