Is there a way to import data into existing contacts in Address Book?

I want to import data from a .csv (for example) into existing address book entries. It would have to recognize and match the name, then recognize the new data and enter it.
Is that possible?
(Now that I think about it, maybe this can be done with Address Book's existing conflict resolution method (that compares similar entries and asks which to keep)…?)

I have answered my own question. I exported the data from a layout in FileMaker Pro containing the required fields as tab separated text. That produced a .tab file that Contacts wanted nothing to do with. However, when I changed the .tab in the file name to .txt, Contacts accepted it as a file to import (File/Import). I then identified the field in Contacts in which the data in each field in the txt file was to be placed and in it went! The trick was changing .tab to .txt in the name of the file exported by FileMaker Pro.

  • Is there a way to import data in a spreadsheet or text file into Contacts v7?

    Is there a way to import data in a spreadsheet or text file into Contacts v7? I have a list of about 500 people and their email addresses in FileMaker Pro that I can export in a number of formats that can be manipulated. Is there any way to get those contacts into Contacts without entering them one at a time?

    Hi,
    According to your description, you want to export excel which contains a hyperlink column to SharePoint list.
    Refer to the following steps:
    Open the Excel, insert/create the table. 
    Now click on any cell of table and go to the ‘Design Tools’.
    Click on the Export and then ‘Export table to SharePoint List’.
    You will see a popup where you need to provide the URL of SharePoint site, list name and description.
    Then click on next, On the next screen you will see columns with data types which are going to create in SharePoint list.
    Now click finish and wait until the operation gets finished. You will see that list gets created in SharePoint site with the records.
    Here are two links, you can use as a reference:

  • Is there a way to import data from a specific text field in a PDF form directly into a text field in a different PDF?

    I know you can import form data from an .fdf file. Is there a way to import a specific value from that .fdf file into a text field in a separate pdf form?

    So I want the FDF to export every time the user saves or closes the PDF. Then I want the import to happen every time the user opens the PDF. That being said, this all has to work with Adobe Reader. If this is possible in anyway, I'd manage this would require some time of script. Any thoughts?

  • HT4967 Is there a way to import data to an iCloud calendar if you don't have a Mac?

    What options exist for moving data INTO an iCloud calendar?  The only options I can find for importing data involve using iCal calendars on the Mac.
    I have an iPhone and an iPad and would like to manage my calendars via iCloud.  I have event data (most sports team schedules and the like for my kids) which I would like to "load" rather than typing in.  In the past, I always used CSV files (most of the data is distributed in Excel), ICS files, etc. and imported into Outlook.  Please don't tell me to sync with Outlook as I am trying to eliminate Outlook out of the equation.
    I just don't see any way to get data into an iCloud calendar other than typing it in or sync'ing with another calendar program.  Am I missing something? 

    Typing it in or Synchronizing are the only ways, but if you don't want to use Outlook (a stance I agree with) try eMClient. It's free for one user and 2 machines, Vista and Win7 are supported.

  • Is there a way to Insert Data into a Lookup Column Type on a SharePoint List Destination in SSIS?

    Greetings.
    I have successfully worked out inserting SQL data (2008 R2) into my 2010 SharePoint list (New, Update, Delete) by creating an SSIS Data Flow Task as outlined here:
    http://fsugeiger.blogspot.com/2010/01/synchronise-sql-table-with-sharepoint.html
    However, the problem I am running into is inserting data into the SharePoint Columns that are "Lookup" column types. I verified that all of the values I am copying from SQL into the SharePoint lookup column exist in the customn list it is pointing to. It
    is important to have this column be a lookup column as it links to another custom list that has many more columns of related information.
    I have read and re-read the SharePoint SSIS Adapters 2011.docx from
    http://sqlsrvintegrationsrv.codeplex.com/ and the only section that seems to apply is this:
    "Looking Up Values in a SharePoint List
    If you have to look up a value in a SharePoint list, you can use the Lookup transformation in your data flow, and use the SharePoint List source to load the lookup table. You may have to add a Derived Column transformation or a Script component that splits
    data in the lookup column on the ";#" delimiter to separate the ID value from the description.
    If you are replacing values in your data with the values that you look up in the list, then loading the changed data back into SharePoint, you only have to include the ID from the lookup column. SharePoint ignores the description if you include it."
    I am not sure if the above statement means that I should be passing the assocaited ID's other than the actual data into the SharePoint List destination. If that is the case, that will not really work as the lookup contains hundreds of rows. Not too mention
    I have several of these lookup column types pointing to several different lists.
    Any guidance in how I can put data into a SharePoint Lookup column type via Data Flow Task would be so much appreaciated.
    Thank you.
    My errors are:
    Error: 0x0 at Data Flow Task, SharePoint List Destination: Error on row ID="1": 0x1 - Unspecified error, such as too many items being updated at once (batch), or an invalid core field value.

    I have found a solution to my problem and thought I would share it here in case there are others who are struggling with the above scenario. If you have a better way, I would love to hear about it since my way is a bit tedious.
    In a nutshell, in order to have an SSIS package put data from an OLE DB Source into a SharePoint List Destination Lookup Column, you need to pass the ID of the value that is being looked up, not the value that is in the “master” OLE DB source.
    Rough explanation, OLE DB Source value for column “Approp” is “4005” --> SQL matches “4005” with the ID in the new lookup table (“4005” = ID “5” as defined in the SharePoint lookup list) --> “5” gets passed into SharePoint List destination lookup
    column --> SharePoint displays “4005” and successfully links to the lookup list.
    Funny thing (not really), the error(s) outlined in my original post are not related in getting data into a SharePoint Lookup column as I am now successful in getting data into the system but I am still getting the same above error(s). I think it has to do
    with the ID column in the SharePoint list destination. What I can’t seem to figure out is why since I am not linking any data to that ID column (at least on new records). I am however linking it on Update and Delete and the errors mentioned above disappear
    and things work well.
    There are three tasks that need to get done in order to get data from SQL into a SharePoint lookup column assuming you have already set up your SharePoint lookup lists:
    1. Create new lookup table(s) in SQL that has the IDs from the SharePoint Lookup list and the values coming from the “master” OLD DB Source. You can see the ID column in SharePoint by toggling it on in a view.
    2. Create a SQL command that JOINs all the databases and tables so that the ID is passed and not the value into the SharePoint lookup column
    3. Change the “Data access mode” to “SQL Command” instead of the “Table or view” in the OLE DB Source and paste your command into the “SQL command text:” area.
    Other helpful info is that you may also need to add additional columns in the new lookup tables in SQL for the scenarios when the data is not unique. You can see this two times in my SQL command example for Units and JobTitles:
    SELECT
    pps.SSNm,
    pps.file_updated,
    pps.Employee_id,
    /* pps.CheckDistNm,*/
    Check_Distribution_id = COALESCE( d.ID, 0 ),
    pps.Job_nbr,
    pps.SeqNm,
    pps.action_eff_dt,
    Fund_id = COALESCE( f.id, 0 ),
    Appropriation_id = COALESCE( ap.id, 0 ),
    ActionCode_id = COALESCE( ac.id, 0 ),
    SpecNumber_id = COALESCE( jt.ID, 0 ),
    pps.Employee_id,
    /* pps.Fund,
    pps.Approp,
    pps.Unit,*/
    Unit_id = COALESCE( u.ID, 0 ),
    PosNm,
    PosCode,
    pps.LastName,
    pps.FirstName,
    pps.MI
    FROM
    x_PPS.aReportVw.pps_screens_active AS pps
    LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.DistributionNumbers AS d ON
    pps.CheckDistNm = d.Check_Distribution
    LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Units AS u ON
    pps.Fund = u.Fund AND
    pps.Approp = u.Approp AND
    pps.Unit = u.Unit
    LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Appropriations AS ap ON
    pps.Approp = ap.Approp
    LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Funds AS f ON
    pps.Fund = f.Fund
    LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.ActionCodes AS ac ON
    pps.ActionCode = ac.ActionCode
    LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.JobTitles AS jt ON
    pps.SpecNm = jt.SpecNumber AND
    pps.JurisClass = jt.JurisClass

  • I lost all my passwords from the previous version of Firefox when I upgraded to Firefox 4. I have all the files. Is there any way to import them into Firefox 4?

    Typically, when I have upgraded a program, all of the bookmarks, passwords, etc. have transferred to the newest version but, for some reason that did not happen with Firefox 4. I still have all my preferences files as they were moved to the trash. Is there any way I can import them back into the new version of Firefox as it is very frustrating to have lost them.

    If you used the option to delete settings, or whatever it is worded when uninstalling, Firefox will remove all your important data information from profiles for all installed versions of Firefox, and you will then need luck and a file recovery utility to try to restore the information.
    You mentioned files being moved to Trash, I was hoping you may still have the required original files. I use Windows XP, and I realise Macs use different locations for files, but I think the files have the same names.

    Note the last article discusses problems when bookmarks are lost, and some of the possible reasons and solutions. Obviously I do not know what has actually happened in your case, and whether or not you used the delete option I initially mentioned.

  • Is there a way to import data using oracle import...

    Is there a way I can import tables into my workspace from other schemas or from remote databases without having to create csv files of the data I want and loading it into html_db? I'd like to either just use a db link or something to report on data in a remote database or use Oracle's import utility to import a whole schema into my workspace. Is this possible?
    Thanks for any advice in advance
    Erik Snyder

    Sure is. Your workspace has one or more schemas assigned to it. You can use any of those methods. If you need to import a whole schema, you will need to go into the HTML DB administration utility and associate the new schema with your workspace.

  • Is there a way to import text into an inDesign layout randomly from multiple word docs?

    i'd like to start out by thanking everyone for the help with the text box or stroke around text/paragraph, the advise has definitely helped.. What i'm wondering now is, is there a way to take multiple docs "wether it be a word doc or an indesign doc" and have them import or insert into our main layout in inDesign randomly or by taking one paragraph from each individual doc 1 after the other till each paragraph is inserted..
    To give you an idea:
    say i hav 4 text docs each doc is a category so to say, each with anywhere from 25 to 100 paragraphs.. each paragraph is it's own item or description.. each of these descriptions or items so to say needs to be in our layout each week, but randomly.. Currently we are using the cut and paste method to achieve the randomness in our layout.. I'm hoping theres an easier way..
    -if this is something inDesign can't do, might there be an alternative.. say an external app. that might achieve this for us?

    well.. we've come up with some sort of solution that seams to work well for what we want.. we combined each doc into an excel doc with each paragraph on it's own line.. then added extra columns in excel to input random numbers and letters -that can be changed weekly, so we can use the sort feature in excel to reorder all the paragraphs.. next we copy and paste from excel to inDesign, because importing an excel doc seams to be more agravation than it's worth..
    -this seems like it will work well for what we need to do, though curiouse if anyone else might have an alternative solution?
    as always thxs..

  • Is there a way to import photos into iPhoto '11 from MobileMe Gallery?

    I am soon to take a trip with a digital camera, iPad2 and camera connection kit. I know I can store a great many photos on my iPad during the trip. I have a MobileMe account, so I know I can export the photos to the Gallery easy enough. I would like to know if, when I return home to my iMac, there is a way to import those photos directly into iPhoto from the MobileMe Gallery. If yes, then I can delete the photos from the iPad2 periodically as they mount up, knowing they are safe in the Gallery and available for further use in iPhoto and elsewhere. If no, then the Gallery is really of little use to me and I won't spend the time uploading to the Gallery.
    My apologies in advance as I am also posting this exact question in the MobileMe forum.
    I depart very soon and hope the Community here can offer some quick advice! Thanks!

    If you can access your photos from a Finder window, You can drag and drop them into an iMovie Project from there. Just make sure they are in a stable place, because if you move them later, iMovie will not know where to find them.
