Comcast Address Book

I have tried---believe me, I have read everything I can!! I cannot import my address book from Comcast to Apple Mail. I lost all of my addresses in Apple Mail when my old computer crashed and burned
Can anyone help????
TIA

Well, that's odd, because Address Book does support importing both CSV and LDIF files. Do you get an error message when you try this, and if so, what does it say exactly?
You can try converting an LDIF file to a vCard file and then drag & drop that vCard file onto Address Book and it should import that. There's an online tool for that, which I haven't tested, so be aware that it may not work for you, but you have nothing to lose by trying. It's here: http://www.iac.ethz.ch/staff/maeder/mailtool.php

  • Sync questions? Comcast address book? Not sync every time I connect Ipad?

    Hi|!
    Still working on learning this wonderful tool!
    Is there a way to pull in my comcast address book?
    how can I make my ipad NOT sync every time I hook it to my computer? Can I just drag and drop a new movie onto it?
    Do you use a screen protector?
    Thanks so much!!

    Turning off auto sync is probably the first thing you should do before you start to experiment. Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>click on the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Then click OK and quit iTunes
    If your Comcast address book is in an address book on your computer - you can select it to sync in the Info Tab in iTunes - under the heading - Sync Address Book Contacts.
    You should make sure that the movie is in the correct format before you add it to iTunes or before you drag and drop. You can add the movie to iTunes via File>Add to library and if necessary click on the movie in the library and go to Advanced>Create iPad or Apple TV versions. I believe that you can drag and drop if you manage content manually.
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    Yes I use a screen protector but it is a matter of personal choice.

  • Deleting a e-mail address from my comcast address book

    How can I delete an e-mail address from my Comcast e-mail address book?

    Navigate to your Inbox page, and in the toolbar click on Address Book.  When it populates all your contacts, check the little box to the left of the contact you want to delete, and in the toolbar at the top of the list click on Delete.

  • XFinity address book

    Site says you can import an outlook address book into Xfinity address book but appears to be one way street the other direction.  Any ideas?

    I had the same problem.  That is, I was unable to import my contacts from a properly constructed (per the sample_template.csv) file into my Comcast address book (as of 5/28/2015).  I suspect that the Comcast import app is broken.  However, I found a work-around.1. Go to www.plaxo.com and sign in with your Comcast email and password. This should give you a courtesy account (I understand Plaxo is owned by Comcast), although it may take a few tens of seconds for the account to be established, and you might have to refresh and/or log back into Plaxo to get to your account page.2. Once you are logged into your Plaxo account, go to your Plaxo Address Book, which you should be able to access via the rtibbon at the top of your Plaxo home page.3. From your Plaxo address book page, click the gear icon at the top of the "new contacts" list and select "import" from the popup menu. That should take you to a page labeled "Import Contacts into your Address Book."4. From the "Import Contacts ..." page, select the "Import" button, which should give you list of import options, including one that permits you to import contacts from a csv file.5. Select the CSV import option and follow the instructions to upload your contact.csv file into Plaxo.Once your contacts are uploaded into Plaxo, you should find that they also appear in your Comcast address book for the Comcast account credentials that you used for your Plaxo login. 

  • Comcast addresses to Safari mail???

    Can anybody tell me how to import a Comcast address book to Safari (3.04) mailbox? The export options on Comcast list several formats, but none of them seem to be recognised by the Safari import function.
    As usual, many thanks for the help.
    Bob

    Thanks for replying.  I'm hoping to avoid typing the address in the address field when forwarding a message. Is there a process where I can scroll through my address book, select an address from it and have that address that I select be applied to the "to field" at the top of the message I am forwarding?  I am trying to replicate forwading messages in the same manner as I do with OUtlook on my computer.

  • HT201320 Is there a way to transfer my Comcast email address book to my iPhone 4s?

    Is there a way to transfer my Comcast email adress book to my iPhone 4s?

    If Comcast does not provide an option to sync your Comcast online contacts with an address book app on your computer, they should provide an option for exporting the contacts to be imported by an address book app on your computer that supports syncing contacts with the iPhone.

  • Cannot send some emails from the address book. Comcast says it is not a server problem.

    Keep getting this message when trying to send a group email from the address book -"The size of the message you are trying to send exceeds a temporary size limit of the server. The message was not sent, try to reduce the message size or wait some time and try again. The server responded: 4.1.1... temporary failure."
    Comcast has checked it - the issue is not the server they say. This problem just started 4 days ago. It appears other people have this problem on the thunderbird forum and it has not been resolved yet.

    The Comcast server is issuing the error message. Have them explain how this is not their problem.

  • Importing address book to Comcast

    Does anyone know how to import an address book to Comcast?
    Thanks in advance.

    Are you using Mac Mail or Comcast's web-based client? Where are your addresses now?

  • How to transfer Mac Address Book to Comcast email Address Book?

    I recently upgraded from a dialup modem to Comcast Cable high speed internet. Previously, I used aol for email and wanted to change to Comcast email. I used the aol Service Assistant to successfully transfer my aol address book into my Mac Address Book. But now, I can't find a way to transfer the Mac Address Book to Comcast. I loaded Outlook Express and tried to transfer the Mac AB , but it is not a text file, so I was unable to transfer. Comcast supports Outlook Express and they have an import protocol. How can I save the Mac Address Book as a text file and then transfer to Outlook Express? Any suggestions to avoid rekeying the entire address book would be appreciated.

    Hello Dennis.
    If you are wanting to transfer your Address Book contacts to Comcast's server stored address when accessing your Comcast email account via webmail with a browser, you don't need Outlook Express to do so.
    You can use a utility called Address Book Exporter which exports your Mac OS X Address Book contacts as a tab-delimited plain text file which should work for importing all contacts to Comcast's server stored address book.

  • Address book from comcast?

    I have a comcast mail account and I was wondering if I could import my contacts to mail without having to type each name in again. Anyone know how?

    What you probably want to do is export your contacts to a CSV file. Comma Seperated Value.
    This Help files says how to do it. Scroll down about halfway.
    http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/index.jsp?faq=EmailWebmail17886
    Address book will be able to import the CSV file. If you type CSV or import in the Mail help dialog then it will give you a step-by-step on how to import the CSV file.

  • I have comcast as my email and my wife has uses the account with her own email address.  I have my address book and she has hers.  My problem is that my address book comes up on her ipad even when she's signed in to her account.

    I have Comcast as my IP.  My wife also uses my account with her own email address.  I have my address book and she has hers.  My problem is on her ipad, my address book comes up with her account.  Any ideas on how I can get her address book on her account?

    It sounds like you're both syncing with the same computer log-in so the sync mechanism thinks that you're one person.  You need to set up separate computer log-ins so that you have separate iTunes operation.

  • Sending an email to a 250 person address book group.

    I am trying to send an email with a picture attached to a group from my address book using Mac Os X mail. It will not send when I click the send button. There are 250 people in the address book group. Is there a limit to the size of group that OS X mail will send to?
    when i remove the group and send to 2 individual contacts, it sends right away...help.

    Not sure that there is one in today's world of spamming - frankly, I'm glad my ISP and/or web email hosting service et al have these in place.
    This is what I do for any emails which need to be sent to more than about 10 - 15 people:
    I prepare an email with attachments if necessary and have my address book open. I start inserting email addresses in the BCC field until I reach a certain number. I open a new message window, paste in the email, and work on the next 50 or so. I do this until I've enough emails to cover every recipient I want to send this to. I then send one or more emails, wait about 2 hours, send more, etc, etc - you get the idea.
    Also, be advised: Comcast has told me that they watch the activity; although they do not have a maximum in my case, if they feel that you could be a spammer by the number of emails and recipients, they may not allow the usual port for you to send email through and you will get errors.

  • Can't import LDIF format exported mail address to Address Book

    New to iMac and trying full migration from PC
    I have a LDIF format address file (exported from Comcast's Webmail in Netscape Communicatore LDIF format). Can't import the file to my new iMAC's Address Book.
    Getting the following msg: No Cards Added. No importable cards were found.
    It is a small file, there are records in the file- I opened the file with MS Notepad. I have opend the file with TextEdit as well and see the records in the file. Records have givenname:, sn:, mail:. xmozillanickname:, description:.
    I've checked the FAQ, all support pages and there doesn't seem to be a solution.
    Is this ture?
    iMAc   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I found a solution.
    When I tried importing the mailboxes, I was selecting "Files in mbox format," because that's what they are, right? No. Apparently, I needed to select "Apple Mail" instead.
    That imports everything under an Import folder, and then I can select the emails and drag them to the appropriate inboxes (after re-setting up the accounts).
    Ugh, this is not easy. But I'm getting close.
    (Oh, step 6 will be to clear off Time Capsule and start a new backup. But only after I'm convinced things are running right. Obviously, I will be looking at other options for catastrophic backup in the future.)
    Another note: I first tried copying my entire user folder to my external drive. But after a few minutes of copying, that failed, saying that I didn't have permission to copy one or more files. It didn't tell me what it was, or ask whether to skip it. It just failed. So that's why I was left to selectively pick files.
    Another lesson learned: Know your Time Capsule password. If you rely on Keychain for this, and your machine dies, you're going to have a hard time recovering (if it's possible).

  • What happens to personal folders and address book from old email when I change to new email

    I got a new email address. I am going to quit using the old one, which was was with Comcast When I cancel Comcast service, how can I make sure that I do not lose my personal folders and address book. Also, if I can keep the personal folders, which contain emails with the old Comcast email address, will I be able to read them?
    Thank you.

    The address book is unaffected.
    Comcast is as I recall a pop mail provider. If your using IMAP this is useless to you, so speak up.
    If you right click the Comcast account in the folder pane and select settings. Under server setting for the account change the settings to not check for mail. Click the advanced settings and change the check this server to off as well. Doing this stops Thunderbird driving you mad with unable to connect messages for the defunct account.
    Go to the outgoing server (SMTP) and delete the Comcast SMTP server. This will prevent you from accidentally replying to old mail and getting an error as the Comcast account is no longer.
