Copy Addresses in Laptop to iMac

I have perused 10 pages and nothing on my problem. I have 99% of my addresses in my iBook and would like to transfer or copy them to my iMac. Both machines are G3 500 and run OS 10.4.11. Address book 4.06 9490). Any Suggestions would be appreciated.
John
P.S. Regardless of what it says my sys is, About this Mac says 10.4.11

I would assume that Target Mode would be the easiest way to get the Vcard file from one computer to the other.
Yes, lest you have a little thumb drive or such!
why do I have to go to my Posts to see my post and not on the regular list of posts with every one else's Posts

  • Moving copy of project laptop to iMac.  When I try to export my laptop project to either a thumbdrive or a SD card, the export fails and says 'file system of destination volume not supported'.  How to fix?

    When trying to move a project from Macbook Pro laptop to iMac, the program says, 'file system of the destination volume is not supported.'
    This is true for both a thumb drive and a SD card.  What is the fix? Thanks

    Format them OS X Extended. Aperture libraries have to be on OS X Extended formatted volumes.
    Use Disk Utility. Remember when you format a drive you erase all the data that is on it. So it there is anything you want on those copy it off first.

  • How can I copy address book content from user 1 to user 2 in my iMac

    I have my iMac set up with 2 users. The address book is in user 1. I need to establish a copy of it in user 2 so that the icloud I have set up for that user icludes the address book. How can i copy the address book from user 1 to user 2?

    Are you sure you did that right ... because I did a File/Backup Address Book, and the file named included the date. I then copied the file through our Airport network from the Powerbook to a new iMac. The opening Address Book on the iMac, I did a File/Revert to Address Book Backup, which allows you to choose the file. Now the iMac had the same Address Book file as the Powerbook. This looks to me to be the same thing you are trying to do.

  • How can I sync my address book from my imac to my ipad 3?

    I have just bought an iPad 3 and want to copy my mail address book with email addresses intact from my iMac which has Snow Leopard, which I am happy with and do not want to change to Lion.   There must be an easy way, but I haven't found it

    Running Snow Leopard or Lion have no bearing on syncing contacts from the Mac. I synced my contacts from my MacBook when I was running Leopard.
    Connect the iPad to your Mac
    Launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes under devices.
    Click on the Info Tab at the top of itunes on the right side of the window
    Click on Sync Contacts
    Select All contacts - or the selected groups that you want to sync
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

  • Transfer G4 Address Book to new Imac

    Hi! Please tell me where my address book is located on my G4. I will transfer it using firewire to my Imac but not sure where it is. Once found do I just copy it to the new Imac location? Thanks, Mike

    If you are seriously on 10.2 on the old machine and 10.4 on the new, I don't think you can do it directly . If you are on 10.4.x, you need to copy ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook from the old to the new Mac. If the old machine is 10.2 open Address Book, select all the contacts and File/Export as a vCard. The exported file can becopied to and imported on the new machine.

  • How to copy address book archive to a dvd

    Recently synced iphone to imac and lost all contacts (aargh!!!!). Itunes was set for automatic backup, so the backup contact file was also blank. Found a two year old copy of my contacts. I have now manually inputted them all. I created an addressbook archive file. However, I can not find out how to  (1) copy or burn this archive to a dvd so I can restore from it if needed again and (2) how to print a copy of the entire addressbook>
    Please help!!
    P.S.
    I read through a lot of previous posts and saw where this iphone syncing and deleting contact lists is not a new problem. It also is not a function of my being a neo-luddite. Many others have had this happen. Is there some type of fix in the works to deter this from continuing to happen?
    Thanks,
    Ralph

    Also found how to copy Address Book, as well as all others files on my computer.
    The answer is to open Address Book.
    Under FILE menu>Export>Address Book Archive
    at prompt, Save to which ever location you wish on your computer ( I chose Documents). This will create an archive of your contact list with that date. Archive after anytime you change or add an address card. If saved to the same location on the same computer, prompt will ask if you want to Replace current>OK. If you archived on different days, you will create a new file with different date. You can throw away previously dated file or save as a backup.
    To copy this file and all other files on my computer, I had to download the latest copy of Backup (v3.2) from the Apple downloads page under Apple support. This provides an installer to create a back up iDisk. I installed Backup>( it creates an Umbrella icon on my desktop)>followed the instructions to create a backup>program has standard backup protocols or you can customize.
    I chose to backup my Home folders to a CD/DVD. System will tell you the size of the file and how many CD's or DVD's you will need. Select Burn.
    Voila!!!!
    I now have a DVD that contains all of the files in my Home folder (including the Address Book archive). This DVD will allow me to restore files to my computer, if I accidentally erase it again. Note that this method will not allow you to backup the entire startup, only files. You must use an external drive or Time Machine to create a rebootable copy of the operating system.
    Hope this helps others.

  • Making Duplicate addresses or copying addresses fields

    Hi out there!
    Wondering if there is a way to copy all the info (fields) in a Vcard and duplicate it, then change the name at the top. This way I don't have to enter the same basic information on a company, just change the people's names. I use to do a one click duplicatation of all info on an old program, then change the fields I wanted.
    This would be a big time saver with a company with the same address, phone, etc.. with many employees.
    Any suggestion with OSX Address Book?
    Thanks

    From the help file in Address Book:
    Duplicating an address card
    You can duplicate an address card by copying and pasting.
    1. Select an address card in the Address Book window.
    2. Choose Edit > Copy, then choose Edit > Paste.

  • Contacts in my Address Book on my iMac don't sync with iPhone

    I'm a real newbie to my iPhone 4S, so I'm sure this is something that should be really obvious to fix.  Searching for an answer has not helped.
    I have an Exchange account in Mail and all the contacts in that account show up as Contacts on my phone.  However, those are the only Contacts the phone has.  None of the Contacts in my Address Book on my iMac were copied over to the iPhone when I sync.  What do I need to do that make that happen?
    Thanks.

    Depending on how your Address Book is organised it may be relatively simple or not, but basically you need to drag the contacts you want to move to On My Mac to your desktop, delete them from Address Book and add them back (double click on the file on your desktop) once you have selected All On My Mac from the groups list.
    If you don't have an All On My Mac group, you'll need to go to preferences > general and make set your default account to On My Mac.
    You can drag more than one contact at a time so if you have them in groups already it will help, if not you can work through the list of contacts using cmd click to select just the one's you want.
    You can turn off the sync with Google and Yahoo from preferences > accounts > On My Mac.
    Summary:
    Select all the contacts you want to move
    Drag them to the desktop
    Delete from Address Book
    Set default account to On My Mac
    Select All On My Mac from groups
    Double click the file on your desktop

  • Is there an easy way to transfer playlist from laptop to iMac?

    Hi,
    I just made custom tunes and a playlist on my laptop.
    How do I transfer the playlist (with the new tunes) to my iMac?
    Do I have to find the actual songfile on the laptop - copy to laptop desktop, then through "target mode" - copy to desktop of imac and put in library?  Or is there an easier way???
    Thanks!

    The method I have used is to export the playlist on the first Mac, File>Library>Export Playlist, this creates a text file that you save to say your desktop.  Then copy that text file to the second Mac and from iTunes on the second Mac import that playlist, File>Library>Import Playlist.
    Note however this will NOT copy the songs from one Mac to another, but assuming you have the same songs on both, this method works well. If you dont have the same songs on both as you said then you first need to copy the songs manually from 1 Mac to the other, either through Home Sharing or Add to Library etc.
    Easiest way to do that is to create a new folder on desktop, drag the songs in your playlist into that folder, copy that folder to your iMac then Add to Library from iTunes on your iMac & select that folder you just copied.

  • How do i load my second copy on my laptop?

    i have one copy on my desktop, but when i try to load a second copy on my laptop, the systems reports valid Id, but no valid upgrade program

    I did.  My bad because a crash took the downloaded, old product and serial number with it.  Thanks for the hint about why things don't work as expected. 

  • I can't open my iphoto library on an external disk (78 gb ntfs); if i copy the files on the iMac the file is smaller and not usable. how can i recover my photo?

    hi all,
    i'm using the last version of iPhoto and i save my library on a western digital external USB drive; the drive is formatted in NTFS; i usually use tuxera to access and browse the files.
    Unfortunately, i don't know why, i access this drive in read only mode, so iPhoto doesn't accept the library any more; i tried to copy the library on the iMac but the copied file is really smaller (54 gb instead on the 78 on the drive), and iphoto doesn't accept it.
    i need to find a solution and to recover my library, i've no other copies?!
    tuxera doesn't open any other ntfs drive i think the problem is there, but i have to finf other solutions to recover my photos.
    thank you all for any suggestion.

    This problem is entirely due to this:
    the drive is formatted in NTFS
    iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.
    Do you get any error messages when you try and copy the file back to your Mac?
    Do you have a back up?

  • How do I synch Address Book on an iMac using OSX10.7.5 with a new iPhone 5?

    How do I synch an iPhone 5 running version 6.1 OS with the ADDRESS BOOK on an iMac running Snow Leopard OSX 10.7.5? If I enter a new contact in my Address Book on either the iPhone or iMac, that new entry does not appear in the other, nor in the iCloud. I am running the latest version of iTunes. I have tried synching by WIFI and by cable and by turning the iCloud storage backup on the iPhone on and off.

    You need to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) to take advantage of AirPlay Mirroring

  • I have an album of photos on my iPad that isn't among my iPhoto files, but when I sync the two devices the album isn't copied onto my laptop.  Is there something I should do differently?

    I have an album of photos on my iPad that isn't among my iPhoto files on my laptop, but when I sync the two devices this album isn't copied onto my laptop.  Is there something additional I need to do?

    iPhoto won't see albums that you've created in the Photos app on your iPad, nor photos that were synced to the app from a computer - it will only see the photos/videos that are in the Camera Roll album and, if you've used the camera connection kit, photos/video in the Imported Photos & Videos album.
    If you want to copy photos from a particular album on your iPad then there are iPad apps such as Simple Transfer that let you select the photos in an album and copy them to your computer via your wifi-network.
