How to get address book contacts into my LG CX8600?

Hi all,
I am brand new at this Bluetooth game, so I need maybe some extra help. I am trying to copy selected contacts from my address book over to my cell. Isync recognizes the device, but says it’s not supported.
However, when I export a contact as a .vcf file, it gets into my cell..., one contact at a time. This is very tedious, also an awful lot of ‘;;;;’ get inserted, I suppose all the fields that my LG CX8600 doesn’t understand.
Is there a way to ‘massage’ a number of contacts into one file?
Thanks,
Klaus

Most LG phones are not compatible with iSync, as LG does not include the required industry standard syncing protocols in most of their phones. Also LG do not support Mac users with their own syncing software.
Many phones only support one contact per vCard, so if that's true of the CX8600 then you have no choice but to send them individually.
If you drag multiple contacts from Address Book to the desktop it will create a single vCard containing multiple contacts, which you can try sending to the phone. It may only see the first one though.
Also, try changing the vCard format to v2.1 in Address Book preferences. Some phones only support the older format.

  • Help, I can not drag and drop address book contacts into numbers.

    i have read the manual. watched videos on youtube, but I can not drag and drop address book contacts into numbers or pages.  I upgraded to Numbers 09.  set up the fields as stipulated, but when I drag a contact to the numbers canvas it just bounces back to address book.  I tried reinstalling 09 thinking it was a faulty install.  no luck.  Have tried dragging to balnk part of canvas, to the table, and to a table with fields, no luck. 
    Thank you.

    Could be a preferences setting. See Jerry's post in this thread.

  • How to Export Address Book contacts as CSV file for Gmail?

    Hi
    I wish to export some of my Address Book contacts towards Gmail (which i use through the web interface for now) but I don't want to export vcards as i don't trust big brother Google with all the other data (snail mail, phone numbers, birthdays, etc).
    I have tried to do the export through Address Book but found no CSV export option.
    I've searched the forum for an answer, but to no avail. Some other (paying) websites claim to offer solutions but the "pay before you see" deters me from using them.
    Any tip on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. Scripts and software also welcome, if shareware/freeware.
    Cheers,
    FMN

    Thanks for your answer, but gmail's help specifically states one can import contacts in CSV format and i was looking for a simple batch solution.
    Here is a link to the relevant gmail page (might be in French - am not a "Froguette" for nothing ;)) about importing:
    <http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=28647>
    and the one about importing addresses as CSV files:
    <http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=fr&answer=12119>)
    So my question still stands.

  • How to copy address book contacts to Numbers 3

    I updated to OSX 10.9 and Numbers 3.   I can't drag or copy address book contacts to spreadsheets anymore.    Apparently this feature has been removed.   Any work arounds out there?   Any ideas how to do this?   I am utterly dependant on adding Address book contacts to Numbers spreadsheets.

    Pete,
    We feel your pain. Nothing keeps you from continuing to use version 2.3. Just carry on as though nothing ever happened. It's not as though you'll be missing much by not running the latest version.

  • How to export address book contacts to numbers sheet

    I am looking for a way to export my address book contacts from a specific group to a Numbers spreadsheet. Can someone help me with that? I would think it should be a simple task, but I can't seem to find any help for that kind of an operation.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    select the contacts
    copy,
    switch to Numbers
    paste
    You should also make sure, in System Preferences, that Numbers is allowed to access Contact information in the "Security & Privacy" panel:

  • How To Move Address Book Contacts From An Earlier Mac To An IMac?

    I am having zero luck trying to move the multitude of contacts from address books on a G4 (won't open at all with my new IMac) and an Intel MacBook Pro (will open on the PB Pro but I can't copy it or its contracts to disk) to my new IMac with Snow Leopard. Can it be done? Can these records be exported and brought to my IMac for importing? If so, how, preferably in bulk?
    I am going to try to put my Address Book from my G4 back on a G4 (where it will open) and see if I can export any files in bulk, to put on a CD and copy to my IMac for the next step, whatever it may be.
    Anybody have any suggestions how to export and move these records in bulk??? Thanks!

    Greetings Gina,
    If there are no pre-existing contacts in the Addressbook on the computers you are moving your original addressbook to, then you can use the File > Export > Addressbook Archive feature. This will create a self contained copy of all your Addressbook contents. Take this file (Email it, thumb drive it, burn it to a CD, put it on your iDisk, File Share it, etc. etc. etc) to whatever computer you want the addressbook on and simply double-click. It will overwrite (erase) the current Addressbook contents and put your original addressbook in it's place. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/5.0/en/9158.html
    If you DO have addressbook contacts on the other computers that you do not wish to erase then highlight all the contacts in the original addressbook and choose File > Export > vCard. This will make a group vCard of all the contacts. Then take that to the new computers and double-click. This will add all the contacts in. Keep in mind if you already have some of these contacts in your addressbook you will need to get rid of them by going to Card > Look for duplicates and either deleting them or merging them. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/5.0/en/9160.html
    You could also sync the Addressbooks across all the computers using MobileMe if you are a MobileMe member. However I think the export / import options I mention above would be quicker and cleaner if this is your first time moving the information over. http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/ (click on the sync section)
    Hope that helps.

  • How to get address book from Mac desktop to a MacBook Pro

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro 13" with Lion.  I have a IMac desktop and want to put my address book from it to the MacBook Pro and don't know how to do it.  Can someone help me with this?  I also need to move my word documents. I have Microsoft Word for Mac 2004, Version 11.6.3 on the desktop. Is it possible to move over also? 

    Office 2004 wont work on Lion 10.7. You should upgrade. From your iMac:
    User/Library/Application Support. Copy the AddressBook folder to the desktop of your new MBP. On the MBP:
    From the Finder. Hold down the option key and click on Go from the menu and select Library. That'll open the User/Library folder. Open the Application Support folder and put your AddressBook folder there. Moving documents: Connect the two with firewire cables. The iMac should be shut down. Boot the iMac while holding down the 't' key. That'll boot it into target disk mode and you should see the iMac's hard drive on the MBP's desktop. Copy the files over.

  • Does anyone know how to export Address Book entries into Excel?

    I need to send someone address book information, and would like to send it in Excel vs. creating a pdf. This way I can remove information categories they don't need (and they'd prefer to get it in Excel). Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can do this?
    Thanks!

    Take a look at this video from Mark Spencer.  It explains the basics of a C4D/Motion workflow.  Again, as Adam states, this does not bring in 3D models from C4D.

    It's easy to make audiobooks so long as you start off with AAC files (.m4a). If your books are in MP3 format, either rerip the book from CD into AAC or else convert MP3 to AAC. In iTunes there is an AAC choiced called "Spoken Podcast" that's great for making audiobooks (Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Importing).

  • How do I get my iphone Address Book contacts to a BB Torch

    hey guys - I am stuck!  I cant seem to get my contacts and calendar appointments from Iphone to my BB torch. Can anyone help me? 
    I am using 'ical' for calendar and 'address book' for contacts.  
    Thanks and regards,
    Sham 

    First off, you need to determine with Apple how you can extract or move to your Mac, the calendar events and Address Book contacts. I don't know how Apple provides for that.
    After you've done so, you can sync to the BlackBerry using the BlackBerry Desktop Software.
    Set the Configuration up in the Desktop Software to sync to your Mac's data.
