I saved my users home folder to another drive, and started over again on one of my mac's. I have completely reinstalled everything. I can't seem to find the file with the Address Book data in my former home folder. Can someone give me an idea what file I am looking for?

On 10.2.8 - I think it may be ~/Library/Addresses/Address\ Book.addressbook
... but I would have thought that would have been copied with your home folder. |

Actually - FFL is right - I think I just referred to an early entourage file. I am going to delete that folder - it confuses me.
Best to go ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder as suggested. |

Well I just made it work by moving 3 files.
The first is USERHOME/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder containing 4 files The next is USERHOME/Library/Preferences/AddressBookMe.plist And the last which took me awhile, cause I had replaced the other two to no avail is USERHOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist For some reason all "Three" have to be done. Thanks for the inspiration to try harder. Mile 1 |

That was a pain in the ass, I thought it would be one little file and it kept driving me nuts. Although I did learn that it actually has a built in backup feature.
The things we find when we actually look. lol Mile 1 |
