Export Palm Desktop 4.1.4 Address Book to Gmail
No need for two posts on the same topic.
Do the export again in Palm Desktop, and pay attention to where they are going. It should show the directory where they are going to be saved. If you still can't find them, do a "Find files" on your PC and search for .aba
What version of Palm Desktop are you using?

How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?
Hello,
How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?
I have a Palm Tungsten E handheld which just died.
Luckily, all my data is backed-up on my Palm Desktop V4.2.1.
I just bought an iPod-Touch, so I would like to easily transfer
all my data (Addressbook, Calendar, etc) from the Palm Desktop
on my Mac (OSX 10.5) to the equivalent Mac applications
(Address Book, iCal) which will then allow me to view and update
them on my iPod-Touch.
How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?
Thanks in advance for your help.
DavidHi David. The contact information is straightforward. Bring up your Address List in Palm Desktop, then select Export under file. You pick vCard as the format, and save the resulting file where ever. In Address Book, you then select Import --> vCards under file. You may need to edit things like birthdays by hand afterwards.
I am still working on the Calendar information.

Palm desktop doesn't show address book or memos or others
No device
When I tried to sync my Tungsten E2, recieved an error message (could not establish communications - check your settings). On a support website, it suggested the first step I try is to download and install the latest software. I did and installed it. Palm did its sync with no problem. HOWEVER, when I ran the Palm desktop, only the Calender, Media, and Note Pad would display their data. In the log, it showed that all of the apps uploaded their data.
After re-installing the software two more times, now it only displays pictures from Media, and nothing else! What gives? and how can I correct this?It's really up to you, but there are some caveats that you should be aware of.
With regard to synchronization, the Palm Desktop is not now (and never will be) Sync Services aware. Virtually all applications which engage in synchronization—under Mac OS X 10.4 or later—are, or soon will be. This renders the Palm Desktop effectively useless or, at the very least, outmoded, as a synchronization tool.
The Address Book is integrated to degree with Mail, and will be more so under Mac OS X 10.5, scheduled for release in about 6 months. The Palm Desktop is not.
I use the Address Book for contacts, iCal or calendars, the Missing Sync for Palm OS to synchronize them and to synchronize memos, AvantGo content, selected iPhoto and iTunes files, along with such mundane applications as airline schedules. And, I use Mail.
I'm no fan of Microsoft, but if Outlook worked well for you in the PC world, you should consider Entourage, with it's Sync Services aware capabilities, it's ability to synchronize contacts with the Address Book, calendars with iCal and memos through .Mac Sync. It is, of course, an integrated application including Mail capabilities, and is generally used as an alternative to Mail, the Address Book and iCal. -
Export address book for Gmail account
Hello!
I would like to export my address book as a CSV file for import into Gmail. Address book can export a vcard, but I don't see anything about CSV.
I'd enter it manually, but I'd MUCH rather use my current address book - it's correct, and I don't have to type in stuff!
Thanks,
DanHere is an Applescript I wrote for just that purpose. It's a little rough but all your main info is translated to Gmail fields. Do not use this script for a "backup", as it drops a lot of fields.
I have been the only one to use this, so reports/complaints are welcome. Script beeps when finished, and the file appears on your desktop.

How can I export to a text file from address book?
I started a group in Address Book for a project. Now it is the most complete database of folks involved. I want to send it to some folks who live in the PC world.
Exporting as a VCF or address book archive just doesn't do it.
Any and all suggestions welcome.The feature to export SWF files directly from After Effects has been removed. It never worked at all well.
To create SWF files, use Flash Professional.
If you want to play a movie that you've created in After Effects in a SWF container, then export your composition using Adobe Media Encoder in H.264 format and then link or embed that movie into a SWF file in Flash Professional. -
How can I export Outlook 2007 contacts to Leopard Address Book application?
Hi,
I just bought a MAC and I want to get rid of my PC, but first i want to export my CONTACTS from my Windows MS Outlook 2007 and import them in Leopard Address Book application.
Any way I can do that ?
Many thanks !I don't know if doing it with single vcards is the way you want to have it. This can be a quite big task when having many contacts.
In Outlook You can export them as text file. You got to +File - Import and Export+. In the assistent you choose "Export to file". Then you choose "comma seperated (Windows)" In the next step you mark your Contacts folder. Then you choose where you want to save your output file. (I mountet my Documents folder on the mac and saved it there). Finish this assistent.
Now on the mac you open AdressBook. +File - Import - text+ file and choose then your .csv file. Now in the AdressBook a import window opens where you can set all the fields matching to where Outlook stored the information. But basicly it should work without doing there something. Then you can import all Your Outlook contacts in one run.
Hope this helps You! -
Fields from palm won't go into Address book and vice versa
Hi there,
I'm still adapting to 10.5.5 (I was using 10.2.8 for a long time) and there are little things that throw me off.
The latest bug I've found is that any contacts I've added to my Address Book since I made the switch aren't properly being synchronized to my Palm Pilot.
For instance -- I've added a contact with name, company name, work phone, mobile phone, work email and work address to Address Book.
My palm pilot isn't getting the work address.
Any advice?If you have selected the Address Book and iCal under the Info tab for your iPhone 3G sync preferences to sync contact info and calendars with and this is not working, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
Quit iTunes, the Address Book, and iCal first. Launch iSync and to to iSync preferences. After selecting reset sync history, restart your Mac and try syncing this data again.
When creating a new calendar event, there is a selection for which calendar you want to place the new event in if you have multiple calendars.
If you have multiple calendars, you can select the calendar you want to create the new event in. After launching Calendar, there is a Calendars selection at the top to view all calendars. You can select a calendar to view all entries for that calendar only and for entering a new event for that calendar. Or select All Calendars to view the events for all calendars. When creating a new event with All Calendars selected, you can choose which calendar with the new event entry. -
Exporting Palm desktop records to an itouch on a Windows platform
Use both Mac and Windows--had a PDA crash and bought an itouch. Any suggestions on how to sync the itouch to grab data from Palm desktop? Or export? (don't have Palm destop installed on the Mac)
Post relates to: NoneSince you do not identify which PDA, you can sync to Outlook on the PC and then get the Outlook data onto the iTouch. If a newer PDA, the install CD has a Sync options menu item where you can switch between Palm Desktop and Outlook. If you no longer have the original install CD or have an older device Pocket Copy from Chapura.com will move the Palm Desktop records to Outlook.
There are possibly other options on Mac, depending on whether you sync to something other than Palm Desktop for Mac. Since I have not used a Mac is a couple of decades, I'm not qualified to outline these options.

Exporting Palm Desktop datebook to .dba archive
I have datebook data from 2003-present on my Palm Desktop v6.2. I would like to archive everything before 1/1/14 by exporting the data into a *.dba archive, and then delete that data from Palm Desktop. The export dialogue says I can choose to archive items I have selected, but does not tell how to select them. I wish to select a date range -- specifically, 1/1/03-12/31/13. Anybody know how to do that?
This question was solved.

Palm Zire wont Sync with Address Book or iCal
I just got my Dad to switch from his PC to a MacBook and we can't get his Palm Zire 31 to syncronize with Address Book or iCal.
Tiger 10.4.8
HotSync 3.2
iSync 2.3
I went thru the setup articles and compared the settings to the ones on my Powermac and I don't see any differences. The HotSync log gives iSync Conduit errors: Could not create database Address DB, NULL from rendezvous.
This is not impressing him.Well,
I think we have this handled. After losing all of his data and using an old back up file, we are getting somewhere. I did a hard-reset and then synced it. I have his Palm and MacBook communicating. Now, to get that dumb device to play mp3's like it was supposed to. -

Trying to Export Palm Desktop to Verizon Voyager
I just updated my Palm Desktop (have the Z22) to PalmDesktop by Access. I would like to transfer my calendar to my Verizon Voyager. I heard that you can do it through BitPim. BitPim wil recognize vCalendar or .vcs files or csv Calendar.
I do not have Outlook Express. Is there a way to configure my datebook or calendar into one of those formats that BitPim will recognize?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
My best,

Apple should update the TS2481 instructions.
After I sent this initial post I did some more testing.
Creating a new Smart Group in my now working 10.5.5 address book which has a NOT conditional caused Address Book to lock-up again.
My Smart Group was pretty simple -- 'list all cards that are NOT a member of any group'.
So, the steps in the posting above do NOT fix the problem, they only identify a particular type of Smart Group which will cause a problem and how to get a version of Address Book working again.
I have not gone back and undertaken a thorough set of tests. I am just not going to create any new Smart Groups without first creating an Address Book Archive -- or alternatively overriding Library/Application Support/AddressBook from a Time Machine backup if there is a problem. -
Synching Address Book with Gmail
According to the instructions I've found I should be able to sync my Address Book (v4.1.1 - updates say this is current) with Gmail address book. But when I go to Preferences>General I only get choices for MobileMe, Exchange Server and Yahoo. Any advice how to add the choice (and then choose) Gmail? I use the Gmail account elsewhere (main Mail account, iCal) with little hitch.
Thanks!you need to have either an iphone or an ipod touch for this option to show up. if you don't have either but have a regular ipod you can use the following hack to do it.
http://lifehacker.com/393855/enable-google-contact-sync-without-an-iphoneipod-to uch
however, that hack is incomplete. to make it active you have to set up a free yahoo account and enable yahoo address book sync. after that you'll be able to sync your AB with google. -
