Export from Windows Outlook into Mac Contacts

Sorry if this has been addressed earlier; I searched but couldn't find this specific matter.
Just purchased the Verizon iPhone for my wife. She had a prior AT&T iPhone, synched at office, where she works on Windows ... we are syncing the new one here at home on my iMac. I thought it would be a simple matter to export her contacts from the office Outlook (Windows) and import to the iMac's Contacts..BUT they don't appear to make use of any single standardized format. The Windows Outlook could export to PST (which is what it uses), or to Excel or Access. But Mac OS Contacts doesn't import from either of those.
I'd like to avoid, for obvious reasons, having to re-key all 800+ contacts into the system.
Is there an obvious solution that I've overlooked?
Thanks

Since all Microsoft does is copy other's work, Microsoft copied Apple's lead as usual and incorporated vCard support with Outlook. Outlook includes an option to forward all contacts in the Outlook address book as separate vCard attachments to an email. Your wife can forward the email with the vCard attachments to a personal email address that she accesses with the Mail.app on her Mac or she can send it to herself with the work email address if she also accesses her work email address wit the Mail.app on her Mac. Save the separate vCard attachments received with the email to a folder created on the Desktop. Use the Address Book import feature choosing vCard navigating to the folder where the vCard attachments saved from the received email.
I didn't see that in her Outlook (she does have, I think, a fairly old version of Outlook). ... I DID send as e-mail attachments some individual vCard attachments, about 20, and was easily able to import them into our home Mac's Address Book. Are you saying there should be (or IS) the ability to export all 800+ address cards as vCard? That's what I didn't see (and believe me, I looked).

Or if the contacts with her Verizon iPhone have been synced with Outlook, she can sync her Verizon iPhone contacts direct with the Address Book on her Mac via the iTunes sync process. If the Address Book on her Mac is used for contacts, she will be provided a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which she wants to select.
I did synch her new Verizon iPhone already with iTunes here at home on our Mac. Didn't see this particular list of contacts at the time. I'll take a look this evening again (she's at work as I write this). Her iPhone, I know, shows under Contacts all of the entries I have on my own (AT&T) iPhone, the same ones that are in the Address Book, AS WELL AS a separate Contacts list, which is the set of 800+ from her Outlook at work.
So, yes, it would seem as if there should be a way. "So close and yet so far."
Thanks, Allan, for the suggestions.

vCards exported from Outlook are not compatible with iCloud if that's what you're trying to import it to. You'll have to do something like create a Gmail account, then export your Outlook contacts to Gmail (see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/export-outlook-contacts-to-google -gmail-HA001148902.aspx), then export the contacts from Gmail as a vCard (see https://support.google.com/mail/answer/24911?hl=en) and import it to iCloud (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605).

How transfer email folders from windows outlook to mac outlook

I have already gotten the emails moved from the Dell Laptop running Windows to the iMac and have them in Outlook on the iMac. What I am needing to know is how do I get the folders from Windows Outlook to Mac Outlook so everything will be organized on the iMac like it was on the Dell Laptop.

Hi Dmzimmerman1,
What program are you using for email? The answer will vary based on the program. Also, are you referred to archived email folders or is the email account configured for IMAP?

Importing contacts from windows outlook xp into leopard contacts

I am a PC freak, 25 years experience, that now is turning total MAC, have on mac pro, one all new iMac 20" and one macbook g4.
major item holding back from transition was the inability to find a way to transport several thousand customer info, stored in outlook, using Categories as vital selecting criteria.
for some reason ??? Entourage will not import, succfully, this information from outlook. after much ado I have finally come up with a working solution.
I will only do the transiotion once, but maybe others can benefit from my findings (when I browse the forums, I spot lots of frustrated users sitting in similar situations)
So here it is:
the ONLY way (that works)to transport contact from outlook is to
open one contact
save as vCard
send as attachment in mail or put on USB stick
+
in leopard
open mail /USB stick
save vCard to folder on mac
in adressbook import vCard from (that folder)
and repeat...
Now i had these thousands contacts so I found a utility for windows (Mouse and Key recorder 6.3 at www.kratronic.com, free trial for 30 days) that, after some trimmings did the "clicking" for me, storing the generated vCards in appropiate folders (some 400 at a time, for safety)
I emailed these to my .mac mail, and they arrived well. Put them into folders on the desktop and, from adressbook (I use Danish Leopard so not totally sure of english description) I choose Import vCard.
Now comes the distress point not vCards all were imported....
Only a bleak message that not all vCards were imported not the reason!
after several trials I found out that even the content in adressbook were shoving say 437 items, and I had offered say 950 items for import, I got the full quantity shown if i simply sorted the adressbook (first name or last name first....)
then
behold all items were in the adressbook.
I dont have to worry about Entourage, Its synced with the adressbook in Leopard, Grin grin. so no need as I thought to import into Entourage.
this last feature seems not to be used / known when looking in forums, so here it is for your use.

I have tried every way I know to transfer my Windows 7 Live email contacts to my new BlackBerry Storm 9550 and nothing seems to work. Are they compatible? And if so, how can this be done? Does the BlackBerry record addresses and other information about contacts as well as phone numbers?
Hi,
Probably the easiest way to sync contact information would be by first exporting your contact list from Windows 7 into a vcard file or an excel type file such as a .csv file. Then, by using Blackberry Desktop Manager, import that file and load the contacts onto your device. Personally, I spent a few dollars and bought a program called Data Pilot from Susteen. Data Pilot works with all sorts of phones and devices allowing you to easily transfer contacts from one device to another. I use it to regularly backup my Tour's contact list. It was worth the money to buy that program because it saves all of the fields in the phone such as addresses, email addresses, etc. Anyways, let me know if the above works for you.

How do I Import Mail Contacts from MS Outlook to Mac Mail? MacMini OSX 10.9 Mavericks

Hi I am using OSX 10.9 Mavericks. I have been trying to export my People Contcts list from MS Outlook to Mac Mail, can anyone help? Thanks

Ed,
the simplest solution is to convert your Outlook PST file to standard mbox files using Thunderbird - TB on the PC imports Outlook data just fine and - unlike the other proposed solution - is free. When you install TB on your PC for the first time, it will ask you to import your Outlook data.
Once you have all your mail messages in mbox format, you can import them into Mail. However, instead of using Mail's "Import" feature to do so, I would propose you use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner for this - the program can also import TB mailboxes to Apple Mail and will preserve all your message status flags (read, replied, ...):

What apple store App would be used to read email on the mac that was downloaded to a thumb drive from windows outlook.
Recently purchased a Mac and data transfer for e-mails only showed the email preview but does not open up the body of the email or attachments. So I down loaded my inbox, and folders to a thumb drive. this will open correctly on the window pc but the mac is looking for the approriate app to read this data.
Could the Apple store remove down loaded emails and then reload from the thumb drive?

Outlook 2007 export issue to Outlook 2011 MAC

I am trying to import my email inbox from Windows Outlook 2007 to Mac Outlook 2011. When trying to create the PST file I get an error message "message interface has returned
an unknown error." So how do I remedy this so that I can export from PC to Mac?

Hi Lex,
From the description, you got the error message "message interface has returned an unknown error." when exporting Outlook data to a PST file, correct?
Based on my research, this issue may happen if one of the following two conditions is true:
There is some internal problem with Microsoft Outlook messaging interface.
There is corruption in PST file.
If it's due to Microsoft Outlook messaging interface, this issue should be fixed after restarting Outlook. If it is caused by Outlook PST file corruption, we can try using the Inbox Repair Tool (Scanpst.exe) to scan and repair your PST file. By default,
we can find the Scanpst.exe tool under:
For Outlook 2007 on a 32-bit version of Windows:
<disk drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12
For Outlook 2007 on a 64-bit version of Windows:
<disk drive>:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12
For more information, see: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227
In addition, if your PST file is too large and exceed the maximum size limit, it may also cause PST file corruption. In Outlook 2007, the PST file size limit is 20 GB. Please make sure your PST file doesn't exceed the limit.
Regards,
Steve Fan

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
programs.

Migrating browsing history from Windows 7 to Mac.

I created a Firefox Profile and synced from Windows 7 to Mac.
Only a small amount of my browsing history was migrated (from 9 July 2013 onwards).
There are approximately 47 500 entries going back to September 2010.
I downloaded the History Export add-on and tried exporting my browsing history in the .html format. Firefox kept crashing and I could not complete this.
Is there any way to migrate my entire browsing history to my Profile and my Mac?
Many thanks

Did you not look at the link in the thread in my last post, Lorna?
When you buy software it's your responsibility to keep the media against
future reinstallations, whether you purchase via download or on disc. If
you registered your software, for PSE 9 you may still find a download
link in your adobe store account, if you purchased PSE that way, also.

Transition from Windows XP to Mac OS X

I would like information on how to transition my lightroom library and photos from Windows XP to Mac OS X. I am concerned about maintaining my virtual images as well as library settings.

And Windows is somehow immune from such problems - I don't think so.

Export from FCP directly into DVD studio pro?

Is it possible to export from FCP directly into DVD studio pro? If not, what is the preferred file format because my exported quicktime files come up as "incompatible format" when I try to add them into my DVD project. Any help is appreciated.

You need to encode audio as well from Compressor. You'll have 2 files - audio and video.
