Address book data disappeared - 2008/04/19 13:09 Hi all, Just curious if anyone has any thoughts on this. I opened Address Book this morning and it was empty, nothing there. It was fine yesterday.
I went into home-library-application support-address book and both the addressbook.data and addressbook.data.previous were less than 100k files, all was gone.
What could cause this ? just regular computer gremlins ? I haven't added or deleted anything to it recently, or to the PowerBook for that matter. I just found it strange that both file were wiped out.
I have a recent backup so nothing was lost, I am just curious as to what may have done this as all other files are fine.
Have a great day
Randy
