Exporting address book to Palm Centro

I broke the screen on my Centro. Luckily, I had a spare a friend gave me when he bought an I-phone. I cannot figure out how to get my address book from my Palm Desktop to my new phone. I can't beam it from the other phone because the screen no longer works. Please help!!!

You'll need to erase the "new" phone with a Hard Reset first.
How to Hard Reset a Palm Centro.
Go to http://kb.palm.com and enter the number 45050 into the "Solution ID" box.
Once this is complete, perform a HotSync with the computer the data is residing on.  Palm Desktop will recognize the device as blank, and will ask you: "Create a New HotSync Account, or use an Existing One?"  Choose Existing, and pick your original HotSync Account name. 
All the data should be copied to your "new" phone when the process is completed.

  • Syncing or importing my address book contact from Mac address book to palm

    all attempts to move my Mac addresses (in address book) into my TX are met with grayed out application, links etc. Can anyone send me the step to follow? My hotsync works between TX and Palm desktop.
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    some palm devices are supported directly through isync (check somewhere on the apple website to see if yours is one of them.
    And when you say 'greyed out application' do you mean this is when trying to open an exported address book file by doing an open with? If so, to ungrey it, where it says 'recommended applications', change it to 'all applications'
    Hope this helps

  • 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 to export Date book and Address book from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book?

    I have my calendar information and addresses stored in Palm Desktop date book and address book, respectively. I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everytime I try to export the date book or address book to my desktop using the vCal format, the Palm desktop crashes. My goal is to export all my data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book on the Apple OS (10.6.1). Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do this or do I just have to start from scratch and manually enter the data from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book? I looked at the Missing Sync software, but I don't think this will do the trick. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store didn't offer any solutions either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hello tay8000m and welcome to the Palm forums.
     Have you tried running the "Repair Disk Permissions" command in Apple's Disk Utility application yet?  Launch Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" from the left side of the window, and then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
     After the utility has run, try launching Palm Desktop again and then exporting your data as vCard or iCal files.  If the exports aren't working for you, you can always export the data as comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that into the Apple apps you want to use.

  • Transferring address book of Palm Vx to MS Outlook Express Address Book

    Can someone suggest a simple way to import the palm Vx address book into MS Outlook Express?
    No problem hot synching between the palm Vx device and the PC running Windows XP Home Edition.
    Charlie
    Post relates to: Palm Vx

    If you export the contacts from Palm Desktop as a csv file and then import it into address book as a text file csv that will work the best for you. The problem that you will run into is that Palm Desktop and the Address Book uses different names for the fields. For instance. You have a phone number under the main field in Palm Desktop in address book you will have to Map it to a phone number field of your choosing.
    There is no easy way to go about this unless you want to pay money for the solution. If that is what you want to do I would suggest doing a Google search for a program that will do what you are looking for.

  • Getting iCal and Address Book onto Palm Pre (if you use Missing Sync)

    If you use Missing Sync to sync your address book/iCal to your Palm, it looks like you will have to setup a Gmail account and a Google calendar.  You can then export your iCal calendars to a folder and import them into your Google calendar from the web.  Download a free trial of Spanning Sync to sync your contacts (only!!) to your Google contacts and then your Palm Pre should be able to subscribe to your Google calendar and your google contacts (Which should be identical to your iCal). The only question from here is how any new contacts or appointments on your computer will sync to the Pre.  Maybe Missing Sync will come out with something.
    Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

    I'm running Missing Sync 1.0.2 for Palm Pre and WebOS 1.4.  It seems to work but it is really slow - takes 11 minutes to sync my contacts and calendars over a fast wifi connection.  I have about 1000 contacts and a complex calendar, but i'm only syncing 2 months past and future.
    i opened a ticket about this, we'll see what happens.
    Does anyone have any experience with the speed of Missing Sync over wifi prior to webOS 1.4?  This is a new device, i updated it to 1.4 immediately before installing Missing Sync.

  • Address book from Palm Desktop by Access is missing on computer!

    Please help - My address book from my Palm Desktop by access is GONE - I can find only a "address.mdb" file, but no updated .aba file - Is there a way to restore this file or find a backup? I cannot imagine how it just disappeared! I no longer use the Zire handheld as it broke, please help!
    Thank you

    If Thunderbird will accept .csv or .tab file formats you can export the data in those formats from PD. Use the following procedure to export your data.
    The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
    Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
    Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
    With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
    Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
    With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

  • 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

  • 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.
