Mac OS X Adress Book is fully populated but doesn't show on the Thunderbird Address Book. The "use Mac OS X Address Book" is checked. It works fine on my MBP but not my iMAC. Using El Capitan OS X 10.11.1 and storing/syncing addresses using iCloud account.

I've checked the settings on both MBP and iMAC. They are the same.

Please advise, Tom

I do not use a mac, but am aware there is a security setting on OSX that has to be set to allow the address book to be used.

It's in System Preferences - Security & Privacy - Privacy

You'll see a few Apps and System Functions where you can allow other apps to access them.
