I want to stash my addressbook so I can try to produce a significantly
smaller address book. Then I'll sync my phone to that, then put the
original one back in place.
I accidentally sync'd my phone and now it has insurance agents for
policies I no longer have, and all kinds of other muck.
So where do the pertinent files live. How 'bout for iCal too, while
we're about it...

~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
there is a file there called AddressBook.data

Well, you can save your current address book under File/Export (and you
can restore it under File/Import); that's how I sync my address book up
with the ol' Woman's when I need to. Ical has Backup and Restore under
the File menu.

I sync my RAZR to a specific group in Address Book. Can't you do that?

Wow, I don't do it often so I hadn't fussed around with it. But yes,
the iSync program will allow me to state my preferences. Thanks.
I wanted to know where my addressbook's stuff was anyway. So thanks to
others for letting me know.
