Having problems importing .pst contacts into TB

I have outlook 2013 and I'm moving to TB. I have successfully imported the .pst email message to TB. However, I have not been able to import the contacts folder/file.
Suggestions?

Make Outlook default email client.
In Thunderbird
* Tools > Import
* select 'Address books' click on next
* select 'Outlook' click on next
* you may need to map the columns.
If this is not working:
Use Outlook to export the contacts as a comma separated .csv file.
Then import the .csv file.
In Thunderbird
* Tools > Import
* select 'Address books' click on next
* select 'Text file(LDIF, .tab, .csv, .txt)' and click on Next.
* you may need to map the columns.
AS an aid the link below tells you what column headers are used, so you can save the .csv file and edit using eg: Excel.
This is not absolutely necesary, but can make importing a bit easier if you have the same column headers with correct info.

  • I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

    I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

    First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware).  Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
    For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths.  For example:
    Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
    The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content. 
    It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
    file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
    It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad.  In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
    Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result.  Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
    I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind.  The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem.

  • HT1473 I recently had to restore my laptop back to factory settings and lost my itunes music. I have imported all my cds again but i have some music on my ipad mini and am having problems importing this back into my itunes file. please help as this is dri

    I have recently reset my laptop to factory settings and whilst doing so have lost my music files. I have uploaded my cds but am having trouble moving music from my ipad mini back to music file or itunes.

    iTunes sync is one way from iTunes library to an iOS device.
    You will need third party software such as TouchCopy to transfer from iOS to your computer.

    mp4 cannot be used. Only DV or HDV so you will have to convert it.

  • Problems importing Thunderbird Mailbox into Mail

    I am having problems importing my Thunderbird mailboxes into Mail. I won't go into the many problems and issues I had to solve (but there were many) but would ask if anyone can help me solve the one I still have.
    In Mail I used the Import Mailboxes command, located the Thunderbird profile in my Home directory and imported it. I may have done this some time ago, but in any case, when I decided to start using Mail as my main email client this week I only had emails up until 6th November 2008.
    Now I find it impossible to import the rest of my Thunderbird Inbox - only the sub-folders show up and Mail does not let me import the emails in the main inbox.
    How can I get the remaining emails?

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
    Envelope Index
    ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Having problems importing my .mov file.

    I am having problems importing several .mov files into iMovie. I also can't import .wmv files and I have been utterly confused. I know I have to convert the files but I don't want to pay for a program because I will only be converting 4 files. Please help!

    What is Mpeg Streamclip
    It is a free conversion application that accesses the QT structure and all installed QT components without having to pay the $30 for QT Pro or purchasing GarageBand. It's "engine" is MPEG-based, so it can do some things that QT Pro cannot do ( e.g., retaining audio content when converting multiplexed compression formats). On the other hand, it cannot perform layer operations like QT Pro can so these applications are somewhat complementary.
    and is there anyway you can send me a link to download this program please?

  • Import multiple contacts into a group from an email message

    I have received an email from which I wish to import the additional contacts into my address book.
    I used to be able to drag/drop them into my address book all at once, but can't any more.
    I have also tried drag/drop into a Numbers file to try to convert to a csv and then import, but it copied all the addresses into a single field and I couldn't get them to separate.
    UGH.  How can I import multiple contacts into a group in my address book from an email message?

    That is a few too many to do one at a time.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • I am having problems importing from a DVD or a CD to my Ipod nano via windows 8.  I initially set everything up on a computer with windows 7, and authorized the windows 8 computer as well.  Howevre, the oly thing that comes up on windows 8 is my purchases

    I am having problems importing to my Ipod nano via windows 8.  I usually do this from a windows 7 computer and have had no problems; hoever in windows 8 I can only see items purchased in the Itunes store.  I do not have access to my entire library, which includes song uploaded from CDs and some videos.  As a result, I'm having problems uploading any new items from CDs or DVDs.  The computer with windows 8 is an authorized computer, so I don't understand why I'm having the problem.

    It is locked to your sisters carrier.
    She would have to ask her carrier if they unlock iPhones and if she qualifies for this service.

  • Importing Shared Contacts into the Global Address List (Outlook 2013)

    A colleague of mine has made a contact list which is going to be shared with other colleagues to increase productivity.
    His question is, if it's possible to import the contact list into the Global Address List after it has been shared?
    The contact list does not appear in my Global Address List, instead it appears in the People section (next to Calender).
    If you need technical info about the office version etc., feel free to ask!
    Thanks in advance.

    SP-Brown,
    You can import contacts into Active Directory, so that it can be included in GAL. There are some gotchas with that however. Maybe, a simple Outlook folder sharing is more convenient for you. You can share Outlook Contacts folders among collagues just the
    same as Outlook Calendar sharing works. Start here:

    https://support.office.com/en-in/article/Share-a-contacts-folder-with-others-58ca1290-e170-4f89-a213-03aa6750bcf3
    With Exchange Public Folders you can achieve somewhat the same.
    If you really want to mess with AD and the GAL, this is your article:

    Jan
    The ideal situation would be if the shared Contacts Folder shows up in the Offline GAL, but I'll try to fiddle around with it for a bit. 
    Is there also a possibilty that users can import a contact list so that appears in their Offline GAL?, I do think that it might be a hassle to keep the contacts updated....

  • Im having problems importing prores files at correct frame rate

    im having problems importing prores files at correct frame rate. they have been converted to prores at 25fps but on importing they appear in fcp as 30fps. any help would be appreciated.

    I don't know anything about Wondershare. But it seems something may have got messed up in the conversion. Or maybe there is an identifier on the converted clip that has FCP confused and it really is 25 fps.
    To begin, your sequence settings don't match your clips. You want a Pro Res sequence. Let FCP set this automatically by dragging a Pro Res to an empty sequence and when gives you a message asking whether you want the sequence to match the clips, click yes. Then hit command 0 again and see whether the frame rate is set at 30 or 25.
    If it really is 30, then it will need to be converted and re-imported. It can be done in Compressor or in Cinema Tools. If you have used Cinema Tools before, great. Of not, I'll defer to others because it's been a while and I don't want to mess you up.
    Good luck.

  • Have AE7; Problem importing prproj file into pc; get placeholder instead. What do I need to do to open up the video files here. They are .mov in quicktime.

    Have AE7; Problem importing prproj file into pc; get placeholder instead. What do I need to do to open up the video files here. They are .mov in quicktime.

    Please be more specific. What Premiere project? What version of Premiere? Which operating system? What CoDecs do the QT fiels use? Are all the video files in the correct folders inside the Premiere project structure? Your description sounds like you are attempting to open a Mac based project on a PC and your video files are either in the wrong location or use a Mac-specific CoDec, hence they cannot be read on a PC.
