Address Book export

How can i export all my address book to a CSV file ???
best regards,

Assuming you sync your iPhone contact info with the Address Book on your Mac, at the Address Book menu bar go to File > Export, and there should be a text file export option.

Address Book Exporting ... the Case of the Missing Spouse ... ?

… and missing children and missing birthdays, too.
I have had problems customizing address labels, which I discussed in detail in a separate message, entitled Wonky Address Labels. In fact, I gave up on using Apple Address Book and decided to export the database, put it in Excel, and do some column merging to get a one-time solution to my label-printing problem for my Christmas cards.
Yeah, sure I would … when Address Book will not export in anything other than an arcane address book file format.
So it was back to this forum, to review exporting suggestions. Two seemed to be offered and I tried ‘em both; first, Address Book Exporter at:
gwenhiver.net/applications/addressbookexporter/index.php
and second, some special mail scripts at:
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
These were both fun to use and worked pretty well, producing tab-delimited text files. But neither will do a complete export of the database; they won’t export spouse names, anniversary dates, children’s names or spouse/children’s birthdays ( which I had put in an ‘Other Date’ field ) … nor, BTW, will they export custom fields.
Well, if I can’t print custom labels with Apple Address Book and can’t export the full database, I guess hand-written Christmas card envelopes have a certain panache.
Or, I suppose I might use my 10-year old Windows software that I run on Virtual PC.
It would be nice if Apple would fix this Address Book exporting problem. Frankly, I don’t like the idea of having data in a database that I cannot export as a simple text file. In fact, if I had known I could not get my data OUT, I would not have put it IN to start with.
Any suggestions for exporting ALL the fields of the Apple Address Book database would be welcome.

value = value;Oh, so you have one of those new compilers that reads your mind and knows which value is which in that statement, huh?
Lucky.
The rest of us are stuck doing this.value = value;so that the compiler can distinguish the member variable from the method parameter.

Constant Contact + Address Book Exporter application

Since installing Snow Leopard and Quickbooks 2010 (and turning back on Sync in QB) my Address Book Exporter application will not export names and email addresses without all having errors. Can no longer import them. Any suggestions and thank you.

Be sure you are looking in the right place:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/. It's a folder, not a file, and it's located in your Home folder's Library.

Using Address Book Exporter to move Address Book Contacts to Palm Desktop

I have had strangely mixed results using "Address Book Exporter" to create files that can be imported into Palm Desktop.
I really want to export all 1200 of my Address book cards to my new Treo 700P. Too complex?
I set up a new group in my Address Book and placed about 400 cards in it. I then used Address Book Exporter to export all of these records using template "Palm Desktop" onto a .txt file on my hard drive.
When I opened my Palm Desktop application and clicked on import, I first had to cause the dialogue box to show all files rather than just "readable files" in order for the exported files to be available. When I clicked on the file of 400 Address book cards that I had exported, I got the dialogue box similar to FileMaker where you have to line up the receiving fields in the Palm Desktop application with the fields in the file that Address Book Exporter created.
When I set the "fields" drop-down menu to "addresses" and set the "Delimiters" drop-down menu to "Palm Desktop", everything just lined up automatically. No futher adjustments were needed. I just clicked OK and the 400 records were transferred to my Palm Desktop Address list - ready to further transfer to my new Treo 700P - successfully.
But when I went through this exact same routine, instead exporting all of the cards in my Address book, when I got to the last step and set the two drop down menus - the "fields" drop-down menu to "addresses" and set the "Delimiters" drop-down menu to "Palm Desktop" - nothing happened. The fields in the exported file did not line up at all. The created export file I opened showed only one "superfield' with all the data in it (just as the earlier example had, at first) which would not change to all of the fields needed to line up with the Palm Desktop importing fields as had happened in the first example.
Why the two different reactions to what seems to be the same routines? Does Address Book Exporter have a cap on the size of the export it can handle?
I just don't understand it.

Outlook Express Address Book: Exporting to iMac

What is the best, and easiest, way to get the information in my OE Address book into my just-purchased iMac. The old PC is still running and the iMac is yet to be plugged in. If there is doubt in anyone's mind, my talents lie elsewhere. Any guidance is appreciated and needed.

To export contact information from OE on the PC to CSV format, try this:
1. Launch Outlook Express on the PC.
2. From the File menu, click Export, and then click Address Book.
3. Click Text File (Comma Separated Values), and then click Export.
4. Click Browse.
5. Choose or create a folder in which to save the file.
6. In the File Name box, type "addresses", and then click Save.
7. Click Next.
8. Click to select the check boxes for the fields that you want to export, and then click Finish.
9. Click OK and then click Close.
10. Transfer the file from the PC to the Mac.
To Import the file into the Mac OS X Address Book:
1. Launch Address Book on the Mac.
2. From the File menu choose Import.
3. Choose the format of the exported file from the submenu. In this case choose "Text file," which is appropriate for either a tab-delimited or CSV file.
4. Select the file that contains the exported addresses.
5. Use the pop-up menus in the Text File Import dialog that appears to specify how to import the data. The first line in the file contains labels, so check the "Ignore first card" checkbox.
6. Use the left and right arrows to see different records in the file you're importing. This will let you determine how to set the popup menus. If you don't want to import a field, set the popup menu to "Do not import."
7. To set the popup menus for address fields, choose the type of address (home, work, or other) in the pop-up menu next to the first item of the address. Then use the address popup menus that appear to choose the corresponding data for each address field.
To transfer emails, you'll need to work with Entourage as a middleman, which you probably have as part of a 30 day trial of Office 2008 on the new iMac, but this is what you do:
1. On your PC, run Outlook Express ("OE") and select all messages in your Inbox folder (Control-A), and drag and drop all of the selected messages to an empty folder named Inbox on your PC Desktop.
Verify that the number of files inside that new folder you created matches the number of msgs in your OE Inbox (right-click on the Inbox icon in OE and select Properties to get that number). The exported files are ".eml" files which have the header and body of the message, in plain text format.
Do the same for messages in your Sent mailbox.
2. Transfer those new folders to your Mac, whether by Ethernet or CD-RW, USB drive or whatever way you choose.
3. Launch Entourage; create a new subfolder folder of "On My Computer." In Mac OS, select all the .eml files which came from OE "Inbox" and drag and drop them into this new subfolder in Entourage (the cursor will show a + sign if Entourage allows you to do the drop. This may take awhile to complete, depending on how many messages you're transferring; Entourage, or Mac OS, may not respond for a few minutes. You'll have to do this for "Sent" and any other OE folders, but not now; you need to do these one folder set at a time.
4. Create an Entourage Mail View that excludes all folders, including the one new subfolder you just creeated. For Criteria, set Match "if all criteria are met," "Folder Is Not Inbox," "Folder Is Not Outbox," etc.). What you're trying to do is identify the messages just imported and consolidate them in one view listing. Check the view for errors. Sort it by date and scroll through from the start to end to check if the topmost and bottommost messages have either empty dates or today's date and time in it. If there are such messages, these are errors and you can correct or delete them.
When all the messages look good to you, or if you choose to just delete the ones with errors, make sure Entourage is finished populating the view, then select and drag and drop the Mail View folder (the view icon, not the messages) to your Desktop. This will create a ".mbox" file on your Desktop with the name of the view.
You can now create separate mbox files for your OE "Sent" and other folders; however, you must delete the new subfolder you previously created in Entourage, empty the deleted items folder and start over with a new Entourage subfolder before doing each drop -- otherwise the view will pick up messages from previous drop(s).
5. Import the Entourage .mbox file(s) using Apple Mail. In Apple Mail, select File -> Import Mailboxes, select Standard mbox files and point it to the folder with your .mbox file(s). Ensure each .mbox file is checked. After clicking ">>", Mail will start importing one message at a time.
Be sure to check the number of messages imported into Apple Mail (shown when the mailbox is opened in Mail) -- the number should match the number of .eml files fed into Entourage. If it doesn't match, a common error is the Entourage Mail View wasn't populated completely when it was exported to mbox; start over with the import into Entourage and make sure the view is finished populating. Another error is the From/To error mentioned above; if you chose to just delete the bad messages, the numbers won't match exactly. Also, make sure the deleted items folder is emptied between each drop to avoid duplicate messages.

Address book -- exporting addresses

Does anyone know how to export e-mail addressses from the address book so that they can be used in gmail?
Thanks!
susan

yes there is a really nice easy way
1.Simply select all your contacts in address book. Drag them to the desktop and it makes a single vcard.
visit this cool little webpage http://labs.brotherli.ch/vcfconvert/
2.On that webpage, choose the file that was created in Step 1, select the format "Gmail (CSV)" and then hit convert. It will then download to your desktop the csv version of the vcard you imported. With a lot of contacts this may take a while, and i tried unchecking the "vCards with e-mail only" option and it failed to import them. but other than that it works a treat.
3.Go to Gmail, log in and choose contacts. Then choose import. Select the csv file created in Step 2. Hey presto!

How do I Export Address Book data?

Is there anyway to insert Address Book data into other (non-Apple) applications, e.g. Word?
I want to send out some letters and I would like each letter to have the recipiants address at the top of the letter. Even if I could export the data to Excel first would be OK but I only seem to be able to export vCards from Address Book and Excel (nor Word) can read them?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Yink,
you can use some third-party applications to export Address Book data as plain text files (e.g., csv) which you should then be able to import without any problems in Excel and the like.
Some options are:
• Export Addresses from Mail Scripts

• Address Book Exporter

• Export Address Book

Export Contacts from "Address Book" to "Outlook"

Help!
Because of work, my wife has had to change back to XP. We got her calender into Outlook just fine, but I cannot get her contacts in. I can export all the contacts as a .vcf file (which can be imported correctly into Address Book on another mac), but when I try to import in Outlook it only reads the first contact.
I also tried importing into Entourage on my mac, and then exporting in as many different ways possible. No luck there either...
Does anyone know an easier way to move back to PC without exporting seperate vCards for every single entry?

Try using Address Book Exporter which exports all contacts from the Address Book as a tab-delimited plain text file which Windows Outlook should be able to import.

Export Address Book to Outlook?

What's the best way to export my OS X Address Book to my secretary's PC, where she runs Outlook?

I don't have Outlook in front of me. Are you able to use that machine for a brief amount of time? Find out how it imports contacts. Address Book has built-in support for exporting contacts in the vCard format. You can export multiple contacts into one vCard, although Outlook might not support that, so you might have to export them one-by-one by dragging them out (from the Name column to the Desktop, for example). If Outlook only imports from a textfile format like csv, tab-delimited, or LDIF, check on http://www.versiontracker.com/ for an Address Book exporter utility.

Exporting address book data

Is there an easy way to export the address book data base into other database programs or eg. Excel?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hello, I was myself yesterday trying to export my Address Book into FileMakerPro which is a dataBase program. With no success. I've called Apple Assistance for 1h30 mn for nothing. Finaly somebody on the FileMaker Forum answer me. It is very simple : you have to download Address book exporter : http://www.gwenhiver.net/address-book-exporter.html (or go by google : address book exporter). And it is free. I've tryed it and he perfectly works with FileMaker Pro and I'm sure with Excel because it create a text file with tabulations.
It is so simple that it's magic ! It's a shame for apple that doesn't integrate such a easy tool. I decide that I will not use anymore the apple adress book because FMPro can also be used directly for sending mails. Happy new year - Josette9511 (excuse my english writting).

Exporting mail and address book to PC?

Hi everyone,
My wife recently got a PC for work (She wanted a Mac, but what can you do?). We have a Mac in our home office. The Mac is the most up-to-date with e-mail and addresses. She would like to export all the addresses and contact info from the Mac to the PC, and synchronize or export all the old e-mails to the PC. How can we do this?
The PC came with Windows XP, Outlook, and Outlook Express.
Thank you,
Rob

Regarding messages, this isn't always easy since Outlook and Outlook Express don't use the mbox format.
Something to try. There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts that can be downloaded from the following link.
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
The script to use is Archive Messages (Mail) which moves messages from the selected mailbox(es) to an archive mailbox or export them to standard mbox, plain or rich text files for backup purposes or import into other applications. You can select to move all messages or only messages sent within or certain period as well filter messages based on their read and flagged status.
Try exporting the messages as plain or rich text files for import into either Outlook or Outlook Express.
Regarding Address Book contacts, probably best to export all contacts as a tab-delimited text file for import to the Outlook or Outlook Express Address Book.
Try Address Book Exporter.
