How do i recover my AddressBook contact info?

[motulist]

My hard drive died and I have a non-bootable cloned disk image of my disk before the crash. How do I get my address book contacts back?

When I searched, all the answers said to login as the old user and do an export from Address Book. But I can't startup in that old user account since the disk image isn't bootable. So how do I retrieve my old address book contact info?

~/Library/Application\ Support/AddressBook

Just copy this folder and you'll have everything back.

Thanks!

That worked.

Just to clarify for anyone who searches on this topic in the future. Do everything Eldorian said above, but the folder he called " support" is actually called "application support."

The folder route is:

Users -> 'your account user name' -> Library -> Application Support

then copy the folder there that's called "Address Book."
