For some reason it has started hanging when I try to open it. The icon in the dock has the little pointy arrow beneath it but the address book doesn't open. The icon doesn't bounce and there is no spinning disk. I tried starting up from my back-up system and the address book on that works just fine. If I restart from my back-up and run Disk Warrior on my main disk, repair permissions and the restart from the renovated disk mostly the address book starts and works just as normal. The next time I start up sometimes it is there and sometimes not. The first thing I did to try to rectify the problem was to dump the prefs file (com.apple.AddressBook.plist.) Although the address book opened as it should there were no addresses in it. The card list was intact but there was nothing on any of the cards. So, obviously that was a non-runner. The next thing I tried was cloning my back-up system to the main disk (using Carbon Copy Cloner) and that sorted the problem for a while. But it only lasted two start-ups.I am posting here to see if anyone has any bright ideas before my next move. That is to reinstall the address book using Pacifist to get the address book out of the pkg container on my system disks. However, I am a little hesitant about doing this because I do not want to lose all my addresses. Can anyone tell me what effect this might have and what, if anything I can do about it. Indeed, any suggestions, advice, cautions or ideas regarding other ways to rectify this problem would be welcomed.Thank you for reading this post.David</blockquote>
