Contact list from old ibook

How can i import my contact list from my old ibiook. I have everything backed up on an external HD via time machine.
I can see everything plain as day on the HD.. pics... music... documents, but cannot find my contact list.
where is it? how can i get it on my MBA
Thanks

Go to Address Book in your old computer and Export > Address Book Archive in Leopard or Backup Address Book in Tiger. Copy the archive or the backup to your new MBA. You can 'import' archive or 'revert to backup' to have the new address book show the old data.
I do the address book backup aka archive once a week and save to documents, ditto with iCal. That way I have them saved regardless of other backups. With more than one computer, I save the archive or backup to the other file-sharing computers so that they are all synced but backup'd the old ones regardless. I do not replace the old backups with the new ones, I add them.

    Your contacts and calendars should be on your computer (Outlook, Address Book,etc).

  • Merging Sim card contact list from old phone with Outlook contact list

    iPhone synched with Outlook Contacts during iTunes activation, subsequently transferred old phone contact list from SIM card to iPhone. I want to merge the two files, but synching operation tells me that transferred items will replace existing Outlook Contact list. Not what I want - - How can I merge the two files?

    I don't use Windows but the following states that it will sync contacts with Outlook on Windows 8 via iCloud. You will need to go to Settings > iCloud on the phone at turn Contacts on and also download the iCoud control panel to your computer as described in http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html

  • I've a new account on iMac.  When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar.  WWhen I start keying in a name, it comes up with the address.  How do I engage the  contact list from the email?

    I've a new account on iMac.  When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar, which would allow me to select the persons I want to include on the distribution of the email.  When I start keying in a name in the email, it comes up with the person's address, which shows it is synced.  How do I engage the contact list from the email like I do on my old account (where a contact list icon shows up, along with the "attach" and other icons) ?

    With the New Message window open, go to the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar...".
    In the screen that opens, drag the item labelled "Address" into the Toolbar area of the New Message window, then click the "Done" button.
    That item should be then added to the Toolbar for the New Message window.
    Note that the main Mail window and the New Message window (as well as the separate message window if you open a message that way) use different toolbars - the settings/inclusions for one do not carry over to another.

  • How to transfer contact list from iphone 4 to 4s

    Appreciate advice  about transfering the contact list from iphone 4 to Iphone 4s.

    Just sync your contacts to the same address book or cloud service you're syncing them with on the old phone.

  • How do I transfer the contact list from my phone to another on my family plan

    Hello,
    I have a Samsung Rogue as the primary phone on my account. My dad also has a phone on my plan, and just upgraded to the Accolade. He wants to add my contact list to his phone. Is there a way that I can transfer my list over to his phone?
    Thanks.

    I figured, why start a new thread? 
    Question: Is there a way to get the contact list from my old intensity phone?  
    that is:
    because it went through the washing machine. ( I know!)
    the screen doesn't work, but when I plug it into the USB port, the laptop recognizes it, and the call key doesn't work properly to call out, or obviously, anything else. 
    is there any way to get the contacts from the phone into the verizon backup assistant, or is there any other way? like taking it to the store?
    thanks. 
    PS. I just got my new DroidX and would really like to have those contacts...ya know?

  • Importing Palm IIIxe Contact List from G3 Power Book

    Any hints on how to export my large Palm IIIxe Contacts List from my old G3 Power Book into my Entourage Address Book in my Mac Mini Os 10.45 ?
    Weedie

    Greetings,
    I suggest that you use Palm Desktop to get the contacts form the IIIxe, then export them as vcard or other format for import into Entourage. You can also drag and drop between Palm Desktop and Entourage.

  • I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??

    Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant.  If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.
