Triple click on the next line to select it all (do not type it)


rm -i L*/Pref*/com.apple.addressbook.plist



copy it to the clipboard, (edit > copy)


press command key and the spacebar and type


Terminal


and press enter to open the Terminal program


click in there and edit > paste



Now press the enter key


If it asks to confirm and it's the matching com.apple.addressbook.plist file , press Y and enter


If it says anything else, then press N and enter


Quit Terminal and re-open your AddressBook and report.
