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 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.

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 I export Address Book to text file?

I want to create a separate database for my professional contacts using Excel or Filemaker. Right now I have them all in Address Book. If I could just export my database as a tab-delimited text file.

The AB file

is a SQLite3 database. You can extract data with

Export address book group text file?

Hi,
I need to get a group of addresses to a friend who can not use the vcard format. I need to do it in a text file format, but don't see any way in address book to do that.
Can you help?
Meg

The vcards are actually text files - you can read them with BBEdit or Text Editor.
One way to achieve what you want is clumsy but may be workable, depending on the number in the group and what your friend plans to do with them. In Address Book, select the group and go to File/Print. Choose the List style, select the fields to be included and then click the PDF button and save the group as a PDF. Send the PDF to your friend. Friend can open it, click the "Select Text" tool, select the data and copy it off to whatever is to receive it.
Another more standard way would be to run applescript to pull the data you need into a comma-separated or tab-separated data file which can be imported into spreadsheet or address book programs. Several versions of such scripts have been posted here recently, or there are various importer/exporter scripts available on the internet.

Exporting Address Book to .csv file

I am trying to export my contacts from Address Book to a ".csv" file. The only export options I am seeing are "Export vCard file..." and "Back-up Address Book". I find it very hard to believe that there isn't a way for me to extract my contacts and view them in a spreadsheet format. Does anyone have any insight on this?

Hi aritschfox, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Might give this a try...
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/addressbooktocsvexporte r.html

Try to export address book but the drop down for file type is blank. no options are offered. Version 24.5.

An unusual problem happened when I upgraded from earlier version of thunderbird - which was working fine - version 9. I decided to update. So update to latest version. Once I did this something happened:
1. When I go to address book, I select address book and then select Export.
2. The export window pops up, but the field where you select FILE TYPE is blank - there is no CSV, TXT etc. options to select.
So... I saved a copy of my profile as a back up.
Then I uninstalled that version.
Then installed the version my husband is using - 24.5 - which he uses with no problems at all.
After installing the 24.5 version I still have the same problem. We are completely stumped and don't know what is causing this.
Something must have happened when I upgraded from the very early version 9 to the 31.
Its like its not seeing the FILE TYPE to display when I go to export.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You
Daphna

Restart Thunderbird with add ons disabled. You might have one that does not like the newer versions. You can do this from the Help menu.

Export Address Book to Outlook on a PC

I was wondering it there was a way to export an entire address book to Outlook on a PC. I have attempted to export "All" as a group Vcard, but only the first entry appears in Outlook. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

It's quite easy, all you need is a simple script.
1 - Select all your contacts, then go to File -> Export -> Export vCard.
2 - You'll get one vCard.
3 - But if you download that script (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19361), and drag your vCard on the script, it will split this one vCard into one vCard for each of your contact....
Hope it will work

Need help exporting address book and emails

Hi everyone; I have a problem that should be easy to answer, yet I've been in contact with several IT people and 90 minutes later still have no answer. As the forum heading suggests, I am using Novell's Groupwise Webaccess. I was given an email address through my University employer, and this is the email system that they use. I have ended my contract with the university and have been given 60 days more usage of Groupwise, but I would like to keep at least some of the information in my emails.
Questions:
1) can I export my address book to... anything, really, just so I can keep my contacts?
2) is there any way I can download my emails?
This extra info may or may not be helpful:
I only have access to the web version of Groupwise
I am using a mac
I have other email accounts, including gmail, hotmail, and outlook. I don't mind exporting this info into any of them.
Thank you for your help!

With only webaccess, it is difficult. However, you can use cut and paste or forward the email to another account. You just have to be creative...and willing to put a little elbow grease into it.

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.
iMac G4 17-inch Mac OS X (10.4.5)

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.

Critical error in my address book using Nokia OVI ...

I downloaded Nokia OVI Suite (NOS) on Oct 3 2009. I synchronized all available elements: Address Book, Messages, Notes Photos etc.
Then (after some days) I sync. My E71 with Outlook by using (old and trusty) Nokia PC Suite.
After a day I realized that some! of the phone numbers of some! of my contacts disappeared. I can't tell which and how many details (data-element/s) in each contact data were deleted. I can only tell that all contacts are still there, but some of them with no phone number or missing phones.
I know that if I was aware of this problem before sync. To Outlook, I could have saved most of my data.
I also found a full backup of my E71 dated 16 Aug. 2009.
I have about 1,200 contacts and I can't tell which was damaged and what is that damage.
Can somebody help me to recover this problem?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

ovi suite is still a great IDEA and emergency back-up for if you loose your phone while traveling to sync most information on the go, but not great for your regular syncing.
PC Suite is solid. though the mapping is still off with regards to the zip codes. it formats the zip code to go before the city on the address field.
if you are going to use ovi suite, i would only suggest using it to sync your pictures, download the maps information, but nothing else.
it will mix up your contacts information as well. ie-if you have more then one email address on a contact, it often will duplicate the email address and erase one of them, especially if you are using multiple products to sync.
your best bet is to reload from your previous backup of contacts and resync to your outlook with pc suite.
note that even with using pc suite on multiple pc's with outlooks, that you will still have some challenges with duplicating, etc regarding appointments in calendars and/or contacts that you have deleted may resurface...so i have found the best thing to do is to make one master pc, and then only do a 1 way sync from the phone to the pc on the other pc's.
i agree with the above poster that i am also 100% sure it was OVI suite that did it.
