Exporting Address Book to LG600G Phone

My LG600G phone is not compatible with iSynch. By reading other discussion threads I learned how to create a vCard file of my Address data and export it to the cell phone. However, the vCard file on the cell phone shows up under My Stuff / Other Files. I don't know how to populate the cell phone's Contacts with the vCard's file data. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

HI,

Try Google. Maybe you can find a work around.

Does the Export Address book work also with Mavericks ?

I want to export my address book to excel file ? Does the Exporter address book for mac was tested with MACOSX Maverick ? Is it going to work ?

For the next person to come along, here are Microsoft instructions for formatting leading Zeros in Excel. http://support.microsoft.com/KB/81518
An image of the phone number being set to text in Excels import Wizard. I don't have the 2007 version available to test, but I do not recall it being any different about a decade ago.
<img alt="" src="https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-08-09-20-22-53-96019d.png". and a link to the Microsoft documentation for Excel 2007 indicating that dialog was in Excel 2007 as well. http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/excel-help/text-import-wizard-HP010102244.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HP010099725

How do I Export Address Book data?

Is there anyway to insert Address Book data into other (non-Apple) applications, e.g. Word?
I want to send out some letters and I would like each letter to have the recipiants address at the top of the letter. Even if I could export the data to Excel first would be OK but I only seem to be able to export vCards from Address Book and Excel (nor Word) can read them?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Yink,
you can use some third-party applications to export Address Book data as plain text files (e.g., csv) which you should then be able to import without any problems in Excel and the like.
Some options are:
• Export Addresses from Mail Scripts

• Address Book Exporter

• Export Address Book

Export Address Book into Outlook

How do you export Address Book to use in Outlook?

You connect the iPhone to iTunes, select Outlook as to where you want to sync contacts, and calendar if you want, and then sync. The only thing you need to do is make sure if the Outlook on the computer is completely empty, put in a unique contact in Outlook to force the merge option to come up. See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

How to export Address Book content as Unicode with applescript?

Hello,
I have a problem for exporting address book content. I'd like to export "My Card" to a vcf file and use another application to read it. So I have the following applescript:
*+tell application "Finder"+*
*+set theFolder to folder "TemporaryItems" of folder "Caches" of folder "Library" of home+*
*+end tell+*
*+tell application "Address Book"+*
*+set theVcard to (vcard of my card) as Unicode text+*
*+set theFile to (theFolder as text) & "myCard.vcf"+*
*+set theFileHandle to open for access theFile with write permission+*
*+-- write (ASCII character of 254) to theFileHandle+*
*+-- write (ASCII character of 255) to theFileHandle+*
*+write theVcard to theFileHandle+*
*+close access theFileHandle+*
*+end tell+*
OK, now the problem is that if "My Card" has any double-byte characters like Chinese or Arabic, the output file will just hold some question marks ("??"). The code works in Tiger but not Leopard. (Add char 254 and 255 just to make it a UTF16-BE file. So it doesn't really change the result of this script.)
I started digging and guess here is the reason: in the following statement the "vcard of my card" will always return plain text:
+*set theVcard to (vcard of my card) as Unicode text*+
I got this clue from the help of ScriptEditor:
+*vcard (text, r/o) : Person information in vCard format, this always returns a card in version 3.0 format.*+
But in Tiger, you can see:
+*vcard (Unicode text, r/o) : Person information in vCard format, this always returns a card in version 3.0 format.*+
Any workaround to solve this problem?
(And if this is not the right place to ask such question, please just let me know.)
Thanks a lot!
Calvin

Hello Calvin,
Since your code works under OSX10.4 and fails under OSX10.5, the cause would be the change made in AppleScript 2.0.
Try -
write theVcard as Unicode text to theFileHandle
instead of -
write theVcard to theFileHandle
The read/write commands in AS 2.0 have been change so that they will always interpret the text in system's primary encoding if 'as Unicode text' is not specified in commands' parameter.

How do you take your address book from your phone to your computer

how do you take your address book from your phone to your computer

Have you ever synced your iPhone with your Mac?
If so, there are various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes for transferring your selected music, podcasts, photos, movies, tv shows, etc.
Under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes is where you select syncing contacts direct with the Address Book on your Mac.
If the Address Book on your Mac is empty, follow the instructions included with my previous post.

Exporting blackberry address book to another phone

Hi...
I use Dekart sim card reader for this. It allows you to manage your sim address book by reading the sim with software and hardware sim card reader. Also, sometimes your carrier can assist with this if your moving from a BB to a Cell.
You can also copy up to 250 addresses manually one at a time to your sim card and move it to your cell phone if you going to be using the same sim card.

How to Export Address Book contacts as CSV file for Gmail?

Hi
I wish to export some of my Address Book contacts towards Gmail (which i use through the web interface for now) but I don't want to export vcards as i don't trust big brother Google with all the other data (snail mail, phone numbers, birthdays, etc).
I have tried to do the export through Address Book but found no CSV export option.
I've searched the forum for an answer, but to no avail. Some other (paying) websites claim to offer solutions but the "pay before you see" deters me from using them.
Any tip on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. Scripts and software also welcome, if shareware/freeware.
Cheers,
FMN

Thanks for your answer, but gmail's help specifically states one can import contacts in CSV format and i was looking for a simple batch solution.
Here is a link to the relevant gmail page (might be in French - am not a "Froguette" for nothing ;)) about importing:
<http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=28647>
and the one about importing addresses as CSV files:
<http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=fr&answer=12119>)
So my question still stands.

What is the simplest way to export Address Book into a spreadsheet (Numbers) and get all the information including physical address?

Can anyone help with this? I've exported the address book, but all the information does not appear. I've expanded out the columns but still don't get the home address.
Also, formatting is an issue with phone numbers. Not all phone numbers were entered the same way in the Address Book. Is there a way to change the entire column with a particular cell format?

Oh, I meant Leopard does do more than Tiger Server.
I don't know enough about Server, even less abut Syncing.
SL is to new, not enough time to iron out the kinks yet imho.
One day SL will be better than Leo, but...
I'd ask over in server...

Or perhaps Collaboration Services...

They may even have a different opinion on SL.

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,
Dan

Here 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.
