Excel to Address Book

I have a class list of students with one column listing their email addresses.
How can I import these email addresses into Address Book?
I am aware that Address Book can import a tab-delimited text file.
But, when you select a range of cells in a column in Excel, is there an easy way to save a tab-delimited listing of these selected email addresses from within Excel?

Comma Separated Values (.csv) works only if the email addresses are in separate columns,
How is the file set up, now. Are there several email addresses in a single column? How is the data separated for the other fields (columns)?
You need to have the file set up like a table. Columns are each individual field in the contact record and each row is each individual contact.
The top row contains things like: firstname, lastname, emailAddress1, emailAddress2, phone, street, city, state, zip, etc. The header names don't really matter, except to identify them in the import dialog. So, workEmail and homeEmail might be appropriate.
In the import dialog, it will open to the header record and I think the ignore checkbox will be set. If not, set it.
On the header record, set the fields to import to the appropriate places in Address Book. For instance, if emailAddress1 is the work address, set the dropdown next to it to Email (work). If emailAddress2 is the home address, set it to Email (home), etc.

  • Import From Excel to Address Book?

    I have several large lists in an Excel file that I would like to import into address book easily. Can this be done? If so, please provide some direction.

    Save the files as tab delimited or CSV files and import using the address book import command
    from Address Book help
    Home Index
    Importing contacts
    Address Book can import contact information that you save or export from other applications in vCard, LDIF, tab-delimited, and comma-separated (CSV) formats.
    You can export addresses in LDIF format from Netscape, and vCards from Palm Desktop, Entourage, Outlook, and others. You can export text files in tab-delimited or CSV format from most databases.
    To import addresses from other applications:
    Export addresses from the other application in vCard, LDIF, tab-delimited, or comma-separated (CSV) format.
    ■
    When exporting tab-delimited or CSV files, you may want to note the order of the information fields. If the file doesn’t contain labels, you can refer to your notes to manually identify the fields in a later step.
    ■
    When exporting from Palm Desktop, use the default column layout.
    ■
    Verify that exported .txt or CSV files don’t contain line breaks, which can cause the import to fail. >Use a text editing application such as TextEdit to find and remove the line breaks.
    In Address Book, choose File > Import, and then choose the format of the exported file. Choose “Text File” for a tab-delimited or CSV file.
    Select the file that contains the exported addresses and click Open.
    If you are importing a text file, use the pop-up menus in the Text File Import dialog to specify how to import the data.
    ■
    If the first record contains labels instead of contact information, select the “Ignore first card” checkbox.
    ■
    Use the left and right arrows to see different records in the file you’re importing, to help you determine how to set the pop-up menus.
    ■
    If you don’t want to import a field, set the pop-up menu to “Do not import.”
    ■
    To set the pop-up 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 pop-up menus that appear to choose the corresponding data for each address field.
    If the application you’re exporting contacts from supports it, export vCards that include multiple contacts to speed up importing.
    To see the most recently imported contacts, click Last Import in the Group column. This list is updated each time you import contacts. Use the View menu to show or hide the Last Import item in the Group column.
    You can use iSync to import contacts from your Palm device. For more information, open iSync, choose Help > iSync Help, and then search for “palm.”

  • Import .txt (from Excel) into Address book not happening

    I am attempting to import a .txt file (exported from an Excel file) containing 5000 contacts with email and phone details. In the Import dialogue I can map the columns to the Address Book properties. When I press OK the button stays blue (highlighted) for a few seconds but no import occurs. Not even the card being previewed.
    What am I missing here? (Bit urgent too)

    I had the same problem. I saved as tab-delimited in excel, closed it but upon import, address book would hang (spinning wheel or no response). So, I reopened the .txt file in Numbers instead, got rid of any strange lines, saved again as .txt. Then, I imported it into Address book and it was fine.
    To see whether it had to do with Numbers or Excel, I reopened the .txt file in Excel also, did the editing out of strange lines/cells again, and imported into address book again without problems.
    Seems like a really dumb hack, but it worked for me. I had 62 entries (address book always stalled at 5).

  • Importing a group of names and email addresses from EXCEL to address book

    I want to create a new group in my address book, so I can send one email to multiple addresses. I have an EXCEL document that contains the names and email addresses. Is there an easy way to import them into my address book from EXCEL?
    Thanks, Teri

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to import 300 addresses from an Excel file into Address Book. The Excel file has been converted to tab-delimited (txt). I've gone through and deleted any extra line breaks within fields, commas, etc in the addresses.
    When I go to Address Book and ask it to import the Text file, I get the dialog window showing me the fields it will import, but when I click on "OK", the program just freezes. Also, it tells me in the dialog window that it won't import specific fields like Street 2, City, State or Zip and there is information in all of those fields for every record to import.
    I've been working on this for three weeks now and am at my wits end. I have never had a database program be so difficult to work with.
    Any ideas?

  • Importing Address Book from XP

    I cannot figure this out, and it is really frustraing. I am a new convert from XP to MAC. The problem is my address book in MS Outlook 2000 will not import into my MAC address book, why not? I save as a CSV file when exporting in Outlook, but MAC does not recognize the file for some reason. The weird thing is, that I can export from my Gmail address book into the MAC using the same procedure, but it does not imput all the information such as home address, fax, mobile phone etc. What is going on here? I know I am new to MACs, but I cannot understand what I have overlooked, if anything at all. I am now using my address book as an Excel file on my desktop, and that is not good enough.
    If anyone can show some mercy and help out the newbies, that would be great.
    Thanks in advance,

    This will not be helpful reply, unfortunately--just an example of a similar problem. I was unable to import addresses from a CSV text file. I could open the file and edit in in MS Word and Excel, and Address Book could see and read the file--I used the 'import' function of Address Book and rearranged some of the field mapping, and could click through all the various cards. But, when I clicked the 'Okay' button in the corner of the import window, nothing happened except that the button turned color, from blue to white. No information was imported, no indication appeared that the computer was working on importing anything. Following advice from this forum, I downloaded the address book importer, and that worked fine. But Apple's own import function seems to have a big problem. I just upgraded to a PowerBook G4 after my old Lombard finally conked out. Very exciting to have a beautiful new machine, but man, little problems like the one w/ Address Book make me miss my old computer.

  • How to make an Excel file from Contacts in Address Book?

    I'd like to save the contents of my Address Book in an Excel file. How do I do it. Address Book doesn't seem to export to a common SS format.
    Thanks!

    Build an Automator workflow that gets the Contacts you want (like Get Selected Contacts), then add a Get Contact Info and select the items you want. Set the Export format to Spreadsheet (tabs).
    Then, add an action to create the new file (New Text Edit Document).

  • How can I form a group in address book. I need to transfer a large number of emails from an excel spread sheet to form a group to send emails to.

    I need to transfer a large number of emails from an excel spread sheet to form a group to send emails to. I can either use address book or transfer them to BTYahoo contacts and send from there.

    Hello, if you have the font that Photoshop is supposed to use to write the barcode, and each image is also listed in the spreadsheet, you can use the little known feature called variables: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7417a.h tml

    Alas, the process doesn't transfer every datas.
    (1) Custom fields aren't passed

  • Need to import excel address book into google or iphone?

    This is my scenario - a very close friend had his 4000+ contact list on Novell Groupwise but was let go from his job, he was able to grab the list and export it to Excel.  When I view this list it has all of the info and each column seems correct like Column a has the Name to show, column B is email, Column C is Phone and so on.  What is the best way to get this list onto his iPhone?

    Save the Excel list as a .csv (comma-separated value) file.
    Address Book can import .csv files.
    Once the contacts are in Address Book, they can of course be synced to iPhone.
    The process is described in more detail if you open the Help file for Address Book and search on "importing." There's a topic called Importing Contacts from Other Applications.
    If you are in GMail and you click Contacts, and the More menu, there is an Import command. That, too, imports .csv files, so the same file you exported should work there too. The help text on that page says "...We also support importing vCard from apps like Apple Address Book." Which means you could also start from Address Book and export as vCard instead of CSV.
    http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=14024
    CSV and vCard are industry standards for contact list exchange, so at least one of these formats will work with almost any mail program anywhere, from Apple Mail to Microsoft Outlook to Yahoo Mail etc. etc.

  • Exporting Address Book to Excel

    I would like to export addresses from my Address Book to Excel, to create a database Christmas card list that I can update every year with "sent", "received", and related information. Is it possible to do this? If not, does anyone out there know any good christmas card list database software? This seems a natural for both AddressBook and Excel, but neither have any helpful tips in their Help.

    Option Two: Use Address Book, itself.
    In the Note field, add keywords for sent and received. I'd use something that you would not add to the notes normally (e.g. xMasSent, xMasReceived). You can then create smart groups to find all with xMasSent--call it Cards Sent; one that finds all with xMasReceived--call it Cards Received. You could also use the "does not contain" option to find ones not sent or received. Finally, you could find all that you sent, but not received.
    Taking this further, you could create an applescript that would "reset" all the cards--erase the xMasSent, xMasReceived. Or, you could add the year to the keywords to keep a log of the years you sent and received. I think I could create the Applescript easy enough if you decide to go this route. However, some things I think should be easy turn out to be very difficult.

  • Exporting Address Book to Excel or Numbers

    Is it possible to export my Address Book to Excel or Numbers, or at the very least Word or iWork? I thought I was able to do this under Leopard or another previous version of OS X

    first export any contacts you want as a vcard.
    you can convert that vcard to a csv file using this converter for example
    http://labs.brotherli.ch/vcfconvert/
    the csv file can then be imported into excel or numbers.
