I woke my Intel iMac, and Safari wasn't responding, and Mail did the same thing. I force quit them and everything seemed fine, except I lost my Address Book Contacts. I sync my iMac with .mac along with my Powerbook. I had thought that going into System Preferences and syncing manually would fix it, but for not. I know that I can just copy the Address Book on the Powerbook and remake it on the iMac, but I thought that .mac syncing would see the empty card on the iMac and fix it. I am also a little concerned that I had this data loss after waking from sleep. Do any of these symptoms seems familiar. Should I be looking for another "hidden" problem... Cheers in advance.

OK, now I have added my address book from my powerbook to my intel imac, but .mac shows no contacts at all. I have tried to sync from the system preferences and it keeps wanting to delete my contacts, as my .mac address book is empty. I have tried to turn off syncing and restarting it from online, but that did nothing. How do I get my address book back online? I know I am missing something real simple, but I guess I am simpler...

Thanks. I didn't know that feature even existed! That was simple! What did I expect using a Mac?
