From numbers to contacts(addressbook)?

hi,
is there a possibility to transfert adresses from an excell or numbers file towards the Apple app contacts (or adresse book),dépends on the translation in your language!

Great! Launch Numbers 2.3 and Contacts. (This probably wouldn't work well in Numbers V3)
Drag one Contact to a blank Numbers V2 sheet. This will create a table with all the proper headings for when you are ready to Export the data. To see all the headings, click on one of the column tabs of the new table and choose Unhide all.
Now you have to get the data from your other source of contact information into the proper columns of the new table, as identified by their headers. Probably easiest to do this by copying and pasting a column at a time. Sorry this part isn't easier, but I don't know another way.
I suppose it would be a good idea to save your work at this point.
Now, Export to CSV format.
Now go to Contacts and File > Import.
That's it. I've done this in the past and it worked fine. If you want to keep these new imorts separate from your regular Contacts, create a new User Account and import into that one's Contacts.

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

  • Addressbook cant read .csv-files exported from Numbers (Solved)

    Hello,
    I can hardly believe this myself, but please try. Numbers separates fields by semicolons while exporting my address data to a .csv file, which seems completely feasible to me. When trying to import this into Addressbook, the applications moans that it cant import this file because it is not valid.
    Do programmers from separate groups at Apple ever test whether their Apps work together? I just expect them to do so and I cant imagine a case more simple then that. This is really poor. The reason why I put this complaint in the Numbers discussion is, that there is no forum for Adressbook (whereas iCal got his own - why?).
    And the reason why I pick up this topic again in a new thread is that the other thread I found related to transferring data from Numbers to Addressbook took a weird twist when they resorted to writing a complicated and elaborate Apple Script for this basic task. The Script provided there messed up with valuable Address data in the first version, so I am not going to try it here.
    I just took the search and replace functionality of my text editor to solve it for me. But I still believe that this should work without headaches right out of the box. So Addressbook programmers please hurry up, go, fix it. It is just too distressing. Imagine, I did this in public with Windows guys around. I dont want to experience such again.
    Yours, Christian Völker

    Hello Yvan,
    yes, I agree that Numbers is doing fine and by your explanation I even know why it does the way it does, but Addressbook remains broken.
    Regarding your script I did not even bother to read it and I just dont trust it because I cant sue you in case something goes wrong. I prefer to do my own faults and in this case it was an even better and faster solution for me to use my text editor with search and replace.
    To make the story complete, after the data was accepted, Addressbook wasnt able to recognize the field labeled "Email" as an Email Address and Street as a Street Name. After telling Addressbook about the meaning of the fields, it consistently crashed while importing. No, this is no good. A Script wont heal these flaws.

  • How can I print address labels from numbers spread sheet

    How can I print address labels from numbers spread sheet

    CAB,
    The 5163 template has the following dimensional specs:
    Dimensions & Info
    Length: 4.00000"          Height: 2.00000"
    Top Margin: 0.50000"          Bottom Margin: 0.50000"
    Left Margin: 0.18000"          Right Margin: 0.18000"
    Hor. Spacing (gutter): 0.14000"          Vert. Spacing (gutter): 0.00000"
    Intended Use: Mailing Labels, Shipping Labels, Address Labels
    There's a great vendor site with this data readily available, better than the Avery site in my opinion. But, you can get the same info in the Contacts Print dialog pane.
    You can grab a template matching these dimensions from that vendor site, Copy the table after opening the Word Template in Pages and drop the into a blank Numbers Sheet.
    I found that Sheet side margins of 0.15" worked better than 0.18. For some reason the table wanted to flow to the next page to the right with 0.18". Turning off the Headers and Footers and setting Top and Bottom Margins to 0.5" worked well. These adjustments are made in the Sheets Inspector.
    So, that will put the template you specified into a Numbers document and you can print labels properly aligned from there. Since your problem statement is a bit lacking in detail, that's all I can offer you at this point.

  • ICloud you have the ability to NOT format phone numbers of contacts; this ability is not available on the contacts of iPhone. If I set-up a phone number in iCloud with NO parenthesis, ex. 123- 456-7899, then this format should be available on the iPhone

    In iCloud you have the ability to NOT format phone numbers of contacts; this ability is not available on the contacts of iPhone. If I set-up a phone number in iCloud with NO parenthesis, ex. 123- 456-7899, then this format should be available on the iPhone contact.

    That is correct is doesn't. Standardized formatting of phone numbers in the iOS app is more important because it supports contact from a variety of locations (gmail, hotmail, etc.). iCloud doesn't (not directly).

  • How do I add numbers to contact groups I've created

    Ive created a list of sub-groups for my fairly extensive contact list, but I can't figure out how to add contacts to these subgroups without having to re-enter the contact info as a "new contact".   Is it possible to select from my "All Contacts" list those numbers I want included in a particular subgroup?

    Email the contact to yourself (share contact).
    In the contacts app, make sure you are in the proper group.
    Import the contact
    Delete the contact in the old group.

  • My messages displays mostly numbers of contacts, not contacts, why?

    I turned my iPhone 4s on today and suddenly half of my messages are displayed as numbers, not contacts. I don't understand why, I couldn't find any info in the settings section.

    Calendar will continue to be a problem until Microsoft makes them available in a format that is standards based.
    Google, much a I question their integrity make use of Open standards. Yahoo, even as they stumble from disaster to snafu also use standards. GMX the largest provider in Europe I am told, also uses standards. Even Apple manage to use standards. Only Microsoft stands out there using proprietary protocols that must be licensed from them. It is however a good way to ensure vendor lock in. They have no iTunes to keep the customers loyal and spending money

  • How to Export from Numbers 09 to Address Book or print mailing labels?

    I need to know how to export contact information that is part of a Numbers sheet to Address Book and to be able to print mailing labels. I do not have to print from Address Book but do need to produce address labels. I've tried a number of things from the help menus in Numbers 09, Address Book, Word and Excel for MAC 2011. I probably just don't have a grasp fo what I'm supposed to do. Thanks much!

    nushuz,
    I can sympathize if you're having trouble following the directions. Address Book will reject what looks like a perfectly good CSV file if it doesn't like the data it finds inside.
    Here's what I have found to be the best way to create a CSV from Numbers for Address Book import...
    Drag an Address Book contact to a Blank Sheet in Numbers. That's a Sheet in which you have deleted the default table.
    This will give you a properly formatted table for conversion to CSV, and you just have to add all your contact data to the table you just created. Before you begin though, it's a good idea to Unhide all Hidden Columns, and there are probably many. Hover over any Column Label and click the menu triangle, selecting "Unhide All Columns", or words to that effect.
    After you have all your data situated in the table, Share > Export > CSV and then Import to Address Book.

  • I'm experiencing major synchronisation issues on ICloud, especially for documents created on my Mac in pages, keynote and numbers. Contacts and agenda items work fine. I checked all my account settings.

    I'm experiencing major synchronisation issues on ICloud, especially for documents created on my Mac in pages, keynote and numbers. Contacts and agenda items work fine. I checked all my account settings. But while I can upload documents from my MAC onto ICloud, they don't show on my IOS devices (whereas previously this worked without issues).

    On this Mac I did move all the visible iCloud documents out of iCloud, into another folder, then disabled syncing, exactly as you suggested.  But there were, apparently, documents remaining in my Mac's local iCloud store, "~/Library/Mobile Documents/" that I could not see (so could not remove). The Pages file "CSU-PD-UN1.pages" was one such document.
    The act of disabling iCloud's document sync'ing, in System Prefs, just renames the local "iCloud" store to "~/Library/Mobile Documents/<appleid#>/" effectively shielding the it from the sync'ing mechanism.  Looking at this renamed folder (the screenshot above) revealed that "CSU-PD-UN1.pages" (and other files) had not been removed; it would be reasonable to assume that one, or more, of these "undeletable" files were related to my original problem, and when I re-enabled doc sync'ing, those bad files would just clog up the works again.
    So I deleted them with the Finder on both Macs (the other Mac had bad files too, but different ones), then re-enabling sync'ing on the two Macs and doc sync'ing between the Macs (and iCloud.com) appears to now work as intended.
    Sadly, iOS devices (iPhone and two iPad) now do not sync at all.  Newly created documents do not migrate to any other devices, and documents on other devices do to migrate to the iOS devices.
    Your suggestions have certainly done some good, but something is now keeping my iOS devices out of the the iCloud doc sync'ing process.  I suspect it's a similar problem as the Macs had ("invisible" files gumming up the works), so I'm going to apply some nasty tricks to explore the iOS devices file system and see if I can find them, and delete them by brue force.

  • Palm TX keyboard is not easily selecting from numbers to letters

    I have the HanDBase 4 application for my palm and my Palm TX will not easily switch from numbers to letters.  When I push on the areas to switch, it instead clicks on the symbol directly above it and I have to do this 4-5 times before it will switch over.  I have completed the "touchscreen alignment" under "preferences" several times and still there is no change.  Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    The digitizer on the touchscreen may be going bad. Another issue that can happen to cause the calibration to be off, is dirt or debris between the case and the screen.
    You can try this process to see if there is any debris that is stuck under the screen edge.
    Take a business card or folded piece of paper. Stick it in the gap between the edge of the screen and the case. Move around the perimeter of the screen and see if you can get out any debris.
    If that doesn't work, the digitizer on the device is probably defective and needs replaced.
    You can contact Palm for repair or find replacement parts at pdaparts.com or usedpdaparts.com.

  • How can I print sheet titles from Numbers?

    how can I print sheet titles from Numbers?

    Hi Rick,
    "Believe it or not, Numbers just doesn't work as well for me as Excel."
    I don't find that difficult to believe. If you need the functions supported by Excel and not by Numbers, then Excel is the tool to use. OTOH, your finding of 'more flexible' translates, at least in part to 'more familiar.' All applications, Excel included, force you into certain paths.

    How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers?  Until very recently
    it did so.  Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way.  I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem.  What setting has changed?

    The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format.  When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

    How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

    Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

  • In the latest version of Pages (5.0) I cannot find the refresh button to update a chart copied from Numbers (also latest version 3.0). Can anyone help?

    In the latest version of Pages (5.0) I cannot find the refresh button to update a chart copied from Numbers (also latest version 3.0). I saved my Numbers document before copying to Pages. Can anyone help?

    I think you identified my mistake. I confused tables-charts-graphs. I was wanting a "table" of cells (numbers) to be added to the Pages document. Is there no way to do that and keep the tables linked between Numbers09 and Pages09?
    An example would be a Numbers spreadsheet calculating a number (say, a product price) and that number (data) be linked to a product information text in Pages.
    I just recently saw the Merge function in Pages, but have not yet learned how that works. I don't use Pages much at all but it would come in handy for creating to information sheets about products --- with the product pricing being updated from a Numbers spreadsheet.
    If you have any hints on how that can be done or where I can find info on that I would appreciate it.
    Thanks for catching my misunderstanding.
