Hi, I've got a G4 desktop, running 10.2.6 and I use the Address Book regularly. I also have a .mac account, phone, Home Mac which I keep synced up via iSync. On my work Mac Address Book crashes if I type even one character into the search balloon. None of the other devices and particularly the other Mac have any problems. So I've tried resetting iSync to blow away all the data and replace with .mac data - it still crashes. Besides this the Address Book works, you can scroll to fond an entry. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Frank frank at declan.com -- Frank Flynn Poet, Artist & Mystic
