Address Book NOT accepting csv.txt file as import from EARTHLINK web mail

Greetings. Unsuccessful thus far in importing e-addresses from Earthlink Web Mail to MAC Address Book. Found preferences and saved Earthlink addresses as csv.txt file but AB rejected as not true csv. Apple suggested conversion to V cards but could not find that option in Earthlink-ville. Perused Allan's post on synching with Total Access but fear accidentally installing stuff on my MACbook Pro from that application that is unneccessary or will screw up my new MAC world. Although in the long run, having Web mail back up my MAC makes sense. (Work and husband remain PC/ XP.)
Any solutions you can offer will be much appreciated.
Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

Thanks again. Okay, I pasted a portion of the csv file . I might be mistaken here, but I don't think these are V card format and perhaps converting them to V cards is what I'd have to do. But I would need pretty explicit directions.
Regards,
Andrea

  • How to import attachment into Address Book "Notes" field

    Is it possible to import an attachment into the Address Book "Notes" field? Jpg, PDF, pages doc, whatever...? Don't really care if the file is "visible" (IE if photo, can actually SEE photo)... a clickable icon would be fine.
    Thanks

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    I'm not aware of any direct connector provided by RIM for this purpose. They do supply an ASCII/CSV import capability...see this KB:
    KB11194 How to import contacts from an CSV file to the BlackBerry device
    You'd have to find out from AOL how to get your contacts exported to an ASCII or CSV file.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Imported Address Book not linking - when typing, results are red

    OS - Windows Vista
    Thunderbird Version 24.6.6
    Issue: Address book was imported into Mozilla from Windows Live Mail 2006. When trying to send an email, even though the contacts are listed in the address book, when typing them out in a new email, they are still flashing up in red.
    Troubleshooting performed: Composed new mail, typed out email manually - this added to address book. There were four copies of the address book listed, deleted the duplicates and migrated the addresses from the imported book to Personal Address Book. Still not working. Opened Address book and selected contact, attempted to compose mail to selected contact, failed. Checked Address Book entries - found that the entries didn't import properly into the following fields:
    First, Last, Email - rather they got imported as Display Name, Nickname (with nickname being the email address)
    Solution: Went into each contact, and modified them by moving the 'nickname' (which contained the email address) to the 'email address' field. Now able to send emails through to the contact.
    Questions:
    1) When importing the Address from Windows Live Mail - how can we stop it from importing/mapping the email address field into the nickname field?
    2) Is there a faster way to update all the contacts to copy across from Nickname field to the Email field?
    Thanks,
    Angela

    If you import via CSV fie, you should be shown a dialog that asks you to re-sort address book fields so the fields in the imported address book correspond with those in Thunderbird's Address Book.
    Did this not happen?
    See "From somewhere else to Thunderbird:" here:
    http://www.ramsden.org.uk/11_Thunderbird_Settings_and_the_Profile.html
    I don't know of any easy way to work directly with the address book file itself; it's not organized in a user-friendly manner internally. These matters are usually best addressed either before importing (i.e. tweak the CSV file in a spreadsheet program) or via the import dialog.
    Alternative formats such as vcf or vCard may avoid the need to massage the data, but IMHO are less suited to managing address books. If you can use these formats, this add-on can be useful:

  • Is there a way to download Address Book Contacts in a .cvs file?

    I'm trying to import my contacts into a fundraising site to raise money for charity, I have over 300 contacts so doing it manually is out of the questions.  Is there an easy way to download Address Book Contacts in a .cvs file?  That's the only kind accepted.

    No.
    Export to vCard and Google for one of the many vCard to .csv converters.
    When you search for it please use .csv instead of cvs, cvs is a drug store.
    Here's a free online converter that works well.

  • Contact Photos in Address Book Not Saving

    Hello,
    I am suddenly unable to save a photo to a contact in Address Book.
    I have run into a similar problem before, when Address Book stopped accepting changes to contacts altogether. I followed advice I saw on the web and deleted the .plist files for Address Book in the Preferences file in my Library. That worked like a charm. Now, that doesn't work.
    I have deleted the files, restarted my computer, verified and fixed permissions using Disk Utility, and let my computer rest overnight by leaving it off. Nothing works and I've tried several combinations of order.
    I am running Mac OSX 10.6.8 on a first generation Intel MacBook Pro. All software is up to date.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • "Address Book (not installed)" in Organizer

    I updated both my device software (5.0.0.973) and my desktop software (6.0.0.43) this morning.  After updating, when trying to sync to Outlook 2007 after that to the address book, it gave me a 0x80040fb3 error and wouldn't do any more synching.  I tried to delete the pictures and the problem contacts in Outlook.  Same thing happened after that.  Then I tried deleting the data in the Address Book and restoring it from backup.  Now it states in the Organizer screen of the BBDS that  "Address Book (not installed)".  I attempted to go to setup and click on the box to enable synching, but it won't save my selection.  My address on the device has been messed up ever since the original upgrade.  It only says one name and doesn't give me any options.  I might have messed this up when attempting to delete files.  Don't know.  Anyone know how to restore functionality to my address book?
    The above error occurred one time with Tasks synching and one time with Calendar synching.  Tried to delete all problem entries.

    I am running 6.0.0.43 desktop manager.  I downgraded the device software, not the desktop manager software.  What I did was either click on the "Update My Device" button in Desktop Manager or close out of Desktop Manager and do the device update online.
    I believe both will get you to the same place and will eventually give you a screen where a button reads "View Other Versions".  Click on that button.  It will then show your current version and other versions which you can downgrade to.  Select the one you want and let it do its thing.  Make sure everything you currently have is backed up, because you will want to do a restore.

  • Synch outlook contacts to contacts in blackberry storm 9550 with wired connection: "address book not installed"

    I have been synching outlook, calendar, address book contacts, task and memos, to my blackberry storm 9550 using outlook 2003 for about 6 months.  Somewhere along the line, MS Outlook on my PC no longer synchs with Blackberry contacts. I can still synch calendar, tasks and memos, but get a "not installed" for the address book contacts.  I have installed the latest blackberry desktop 6.1.0B38 and tried to reconfigure.  I still get "address book not installed" for the contacts.  This is a wired synch and wireless is turned off.  Any ideas how to fix?

  • What is the best way to export a .csv/.txt file to a MS Windows shared folder via a scheduled job?

    What is the best way to export a .csv/.txt file to a MS Windows shared folder, when the export process is a scheduled job?

    You can't directly, as scheduled jobs can only export to server-side data stores, which can only write to the landing area. You'll need to use an external script (e.g. batch file) to move the file from the landingarea after export. You can use an external task in the scheduled job to invoke the script.

  • HT4489 address book not loading to icloud?  it works fine in .mac  but not .me com?

    address book not loading in icloud. loads fine in .mac account but .me will not load?

    [email protected] and [email protected] are the same accounts.
    Are you saying that you are trying to sync your contacts to iCloud?  Are the two accounts you  mention ".mac" and ".me" actually different in that they are [email protected]  vs.  [email protected]?  If so, your device can only use one account at once - and you should stick to only one account.

  • Contact pictures in Address Book not being displayed

    Hi,
    I am syncing my address book, calendar with Google. My "source" usually is the Mac address book. After having activated the "Mac <=> Google" sync, everything worked fine in the begining. But the last six weeks I seem to have a problem with the contact pictures:
    I have created contact pictures for nearly 95% of my contacts. These pictures were copied to the address book either from iPhoto or from the web. Via Google sync, the contacts are transfered to my iPod touch, my iPhone and my Nokia Lumia 800.
    Suddenly the contact pictures started to disappear from my Mac address book, but were still visible in my Google address book and my mobile devices.
    When I started to add the pictures to my address again I realized that most pictures are still there, they were simply not being displayed in my Mac address book. By switching to "edit mode" and opening the picture field I could see the pictures again. After clicking "OK" the pictures is visible again.
    I double checked all pictures, added the few missing ones and created an "address book archive". Yesterday all pictures gone again. I imported the archive, all pictures back again. This morning, the pictures are gone again. This whole thing doesn't seem to affect Google or the mobile devices.
    Any idea what the problem with the address book is?
    PS: Before you suggest to switch to iCloud. I need to sync my address book and calendar with all my mobile devices. If I would use iCloud, I would not be able to sync with my Nokia Lumia 800 (Windows Phone). And from comments in the forum, there seem to be similar problems with iCloud concerning address book information.
    Thanks for your ideas.

    You can upgrade to Mavericks free, just run the App Store program and search for Mavericks. But before you do upgrade I recommend the following:
    1) make sure you have a recent backup. TimeMachine is fine.
    2) Mavericks is somewhat more memory hungry than 10.7 was. You will need 4 GB of RAM and I strongly recommend 8 GB.
    Go back to the Apple menu and select About this Mac - look under the OS info you just looked at. You'll see how much RAM your computer has now. Then click on the More Info button. There you will see your computer info listed as in: iMac, 21.5" mid 2010, for example. Return back with that information and we can tell you how far the computer can be upgraded.
    If you decide to procede and you have enough RAM upgrading to Mavericks is quite simple. Click on the download button and let it do its job.

  • Can't sync Address Book note field to iPhone contacts

    Hi:
    I make heavy use of the "note:" field in my MacBook Address Book app. I store all kinds of detailed info about people, organizations, etc. in that field. I would like to be able to access that information on my iPhone 3G, but the phone's Contacts app has no corresponding "note" field.
    Could this be a result of the way I imported data into my MacBook when I first got it?
    In searching the fora, I found several people who said their iPhone contacts sync nicely with the Address Book note, and others who say it doesn't sync at all. Can anyone please shed some light on this for me?
    Thanks!

    Not quite sure what you mean by "editing" but I've tried every method of selecting, deleting, cursor placement, backspacing, and typing I can think of -- again, with and without the Edit button clicked. I did seem to accumulate a huge number of duplicates along the way, and there were more than a thousand cards in my Address Book; maybe I went over the limit?

  • Is there a way to add an image to Address Book notes?

    I've tried copying an image from the clipboard and then pasting it into Address Book notes.  I've also tried moving the image in different formats, TIFF, JPG, PNG, directly to the notes section of Address Book, but still with no success.  Is there some other way to make this happen?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    This isn't possible in Address Book on 10.7.
    You can send a message to Apple here :
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    And, maybe, they will add that feature in a next update; it could be an interesting improvement by the way.
