Now at last I have a problem to discuss. So many applications have been added by me that the folder was getting awfully long to scroll through. So I classified the apps as productivity and utilities and Internet and the so forth, created folders for each, and sorted apps into those, and moved Address Book into productivity. Ooops. Address book freezes and while the list of persons is there, none of their information is available. Have run fsck, have fixed permissions, have moved Address Book to where it came from. I ditched its com.apple.addressbook.plist. None of these have fixed anything. Help. Please. This is a disaster. Is there somewhere on my mirror back up the document or whatever that stores this data? -- "Blest are they who through their lifetimes sow the seeds of peace; all will call them children of the Lord" -- John D.
