10.4: A caution on Address Book and Syncing
I ran into a bug/problem/anomaly under 10.4 where my AddressBook mysteriously ended up empty after normal usage for a couple of weeks (10.4.0/10.4.1). The day I lost everything, index showed contents but the actual addressbook database and it's backup file both showed no entries. This was very disturbing - I had gotten no warnings/errors, just one evening everything was there as I was adding a new entry, and the next day when I went to lookup an address it all was gone. Upon a check of the Apple discussion forums, I found I was not the only one to have had this problem, but I couldn't see/find a fix anywhere (any suggestions were rendered dead due to AddressBook's 'autosave' feature, simply opning it up again after noticing all my entries were gone removed the one possible fallback I could have had). I also do not know if it's since been resolved. (Any bug/defect that causes unwarned loss of all data is pretty serious, and is hopefully fixed.) It doesn't appear to have reoccured, now running 10.4.2. |
