40 Chapter 3 Using the Address Book Library
Troubleshooting Address Book Updates
This section describes some common issues with displaying data from the Address
Book application.
• Why don’t I see my Smart Groups from the Address Book application in
Bento?
Bento does not display Address Book Smart Groups because the criteria used to
create the groups are not available to Bento.
• Why don’t I see my Address Book library’s Smart Collections in the Address
Book application?
The criteria used to create Bento Smart Collections cannot be passed to the Address
Book application because the criteria may use fields that appear only in Bento and
may involve fields that are not available to the Address Book application.
• Why don’t I see my Address Book library in Bento for Mac?
If you migrated your Address Book library in Bento for Mac, it was replaced with
the Bento Contacts library. See
”Migrating the Address Book Library” on page 42.
Address Book Data and Backups
When you create a Bento backup file, the data from the Address Book application is
not included in the Bento backup file. To back up the data from Address Book, use the
Mac OS Address Book application.
If you add fields to the Address Book library in Bento, information from those
additional fields is included in the Bento backup file. See
”Backing Up and Restoring
Information” on page 123 for information on creating a Bento backup file.
