I've got a G5 Power PC Dual 2.3 GHz

Although the Address Book is in the Application Folder and in the Dock
it doesn't work - it's empty.

This is all I've got - ain't no more!



What's the easiest way to get another?

Thanks,

Scott

Do you have the install disks? If so, I'm pretty sure you can install it again.

Any way to do it without the install disks? Can it be D/L'ed from a site?

It looks like you HAVE Address Book, but not any contacts in it. You do NOT restore your contacts by reinstalling the app...

As alway, regular backup is the key to survival.

I've just backed up mine, again (export)
