I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to Mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when I try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported. Any ideas? 
Thanks,
Ian

If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts.  There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

  • I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via wireless router. It says it is connected, but when I try to open email, no connection is found. This also occurs for Safari and Facebook. I am connected by Charter Cable.

    I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via my wireless router. The IPad says I'm connected to the router, but I am unable to receive email, Facebook and Safari. I run through Charter Cable.  This only occurs on my IPad. My desktop works fine.

    Although it may ultimately be necessary to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme and start over with a new configution, we can first try to see if things will work with the existing settings on the device.
    Push the reset button (if present) on the cable modem
    Power off the modem by pulling the power cable
    Remove the internal battery from the modem (if easily accessible)
    Power off the AirPort Extreme and every other device on the network....order is not important
    Wait at least 20 minutes....longer is better
    Re-install the battery in the modem if it was removed previously
    Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme
    Power up the modem and let it run 4-5 minutes buy itself
    Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run 4-5 minutes
    Then power up each other network device one at a time about a minute apart
    Check for a good Internet connection on the network with all devices
    If still no luck, you will need to perfom a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
    Pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the AirPort Extreme
    Release the reset button and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Then open AirPort Utility end reconfigure the AirPort Express again.

  • I have Windows XPand Firefox 3.6.23. I have tried to update Firefox several times. My install site indicates that it has been successful, but when I try to open Firefox I get a statement that I need to update. Help!

    I really do not know what details you want. When I press on the icon to open Firefox, it opens and Google appears. I go to my bookmarks to my purchasing file. There I click on my bookmarked "Quality Paperbacks" site. I get a big colorful page with a statement that I need to update Firefox. I have followed the directions to update on several different occasions. It appears to download but the next time I try, I get the same thing.

    Can you attach a screenshot or link to the instructions you are following?
    You are on the 3.6 release and Firefox 7.0.1 is out. You can download and install the latest release from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ if you would like to update now. The 3.6 version will be maintained for a while longer, but you should update when you can.

    Hello Den53,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430?viewlocale=en_US
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

    cc2014,
    Have you selected an image?
    Unless a good explanation appears, you may start onthe list below.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

    Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
    If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode.
