Unhappy 10.1.??? NEEDED !!! Address Book Problem

Does anyone have a mac running 10.1.5 Running at the moment. I have a Address book problem. I didnt archive my address book properly when going form X.1 --> X.2. I have the addresess.addressbook folder and the addresess.addressbook file, on zip disk. If i send some one these files could they archive this data in X.1.5 Address Book and then send that back to me??

VIP!!! I have some important data that i need.

Adam

Actually, if you delete the address book files created by 10.2's version of address book, and put the 10.1 files into place, then Address Book will think it is being run for the first time and will import the 10.1 format files.

I did exactly the same thing when I upgraded, and it worked that way.

To clarify, the AddressBook folder and file from 10.1 goes into the ~/Library/Application Support folder.

i had the same problem although the fix was a bit more complicated than symphonix's for me.

Do a search. Im sure the thread i started will be around some where.

symphonix, i tried your solution, did not work im not sure what to do next xcept to buy a firewire drive install 10.1 on it and replace the addressbook.addressbook folder and related files and then export.
But that costs money :confussed:
