[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1643318, member: 175845"] I can't find such a utility but I thought I'd seen mention of one while migrating a client's PowerPC Eudora addresses into their Intel Address Book. Talk about fun - not!! But I just did a Google search and didn't find any, but most of the hits I looked at gave the same path to the user's Address Book, so I can't see why that wouldn't work. [url]https://www.google.ca/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=mac+utility+to+recover+address+book+contacts&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&gfe_rd=cr&ei=IDjtVNrtGM6BmAKQmoD4AQ[/url] I'm a bit curious to know if one couldn't just use the Address Book/Contacts app to Import and head to the Users/[username]/Library/Application\ Support/AddressBook/ and click import, as the folder should be in the Time Machine. But that sounds too simple. I just might try for experience when I'm logged into a "tester" user account later on. ;) [/QUOTE]
