I don't understand exactly what your problem is, but if you want to be notified when the address book is modified externally, you could use

CFErrorRef error = nil;
ABAddressBookRef contacts = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions (NULL, &error);
if (contacts != nil) {
    ABAddressBookRegisterExternalChangeCallback (contacts,
                                                 addressBookChangedExternally,
                                                 (__bridge void *)(self)
                                                 );
}

which assumes that the object that implements this code (self) implements a function (not a method)

void addressBookChangedExternally(ABAddressBookRef abRef, CFDictionaryRef dicRef, void *context)
