re-setting defaults

[SamKA4ATT]

I started PM on my laptop the other day and was going to e-mail some photos. PM asked if it could access my "Contacts" list, in haste, I clicked NO.

I can't seem to get it to revert so I can use my "Contact" list now. I did not try to re-open it after that session, so that may be all I need to do.

Sam,

You're in luck.  In 10.8, Apple provided a way to reset the Address Book permissions.  Unfortunately it is an all or nothing proposition so you'll have to answer the permission dialog again for all apps on your system.

Open a Terminal window (Applications/Utilities/) and then type:

tccutil reset AddressBook

and hit enter.  That should do it.
