You can share your Address Book with other Mac users using Address Book Server. This feature is not included with OS X Server 10.6. For those using OS X 10.4/5 as well as OS X 10.6 and don’t use OS X Server, there is http://www.addressbookserver.com which offers the ability to sync contacts. It also offers the ability to sync calendars and allow multiple users to update the same calendar.

to tim, nelson, caroline…

did you check if the permissions in User/yourname/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook.data are set to read&write?

wrong permissions for this file may happen by drag&drop system migration from tiger.

Thanks Tim,

After attempting various solutions I reinstalled the operating system and it restored the edit buttons and fields and fixed some other perplexing bugs.

Thanks for your assistance.

Caroline — at least one of the other posters found that a reinstall solved the problem.

I am really getting frustrated with Address Book. I noticed that Kim is having the same problem. Can’t make changes, add contacts etc. The Edit button is dimmed. There must be others out there having this problem. The two tips foe Address Book were totally unrelated. Has anyone found an answer? Please help!

I am having the same problem as Nelson Dodson. Edit button dimmed. Can’t do anything. Make changes, add contacts, nada. This happened totally randomly. Any suggestions? Sort of frightening.

I am having a more basic problem in Leopard Address Book. My Edit button is dimmed and I cant do anything in my contacts. Any help would be appreciated.

Now if we could just re-add Bluetooth SMS/dialing in to Address Book, I’d be a happy camper again.
