How can I copy the Thunderbird Address Book from Windows to Ubuntu?

I use Windows 8.1 on one Pc and Ubuntu 14.04 on the other.
Thanks in advance for your help
Best regards,

I think the best way is to export the required address books to LDIF files on the first machine and import those LDIF files on the second machine.
Alternatively you can copy the the data *.mab files from one machine to the other. The two default address books are represented by abook.mab and history.mab and can be simply copied. Other user-defined address books will be named as abook1.mab etc and will need to be imported. I'd suggest MoreColumnsForAddressBook for this task.

  • How can I copy the kindle format books on my iPad to my Linux PC.?

    My iPad battery is dying/dead.  How can I copy the kindle format books on my iPad to my Linux PC?  Because i understand they'll be lost when i get Apple to 'fix' my battery.

    Meg, thanks but these are Science Fiction books from Baen Books directly.  I realize I could go back to the publisher and redownload them but there are 100+ books and I'd like to avoid that.  What I'd prefer to do is to find where they are on the IPad and then copy them to my PC and then be able to copy them back to the replacement iPad.
    Does anyone know how to do that?

  • How can I import my .mac address book from online to my computer?

    My macbook was stolen last week, and I am now using an older iBook that we had, but I haven't been able to retrieve my mail address book from the backups I was making. I have most of the contacts in my address book when using .mac web-based email, but not on my computer. I am afraid to turn on syncing because I don't want my computer to erase all the addresses stored online. How can I reverse sync, and get my online address book to import to my computer?
    Thanks.

    go to 'system prefernces > .Mac > advanced > reset sync data'
    Then choose to replace everything on your compu with .Mac data. (Back up before you begin! or is there really nothing to back up, then don't bother of course)

  • How can I get my thunderbird address book to show up in alphabetical order by surname?

    When entering my email addresses in the address book they do not show up in alphabetical order by surname. What do I do to get it to do so?

    I have this same problem, but my Address Book doesn't stay sorted. I have to sort it on "Email" address first, then sort it on "Email". Then, and only then, can I find an email address. I have to do this EVERY time I send an email. After I return to Thunderbird, the email addresses are jumbled again.

  • How can I stop a shared address book from duplicating groups?

    Hi,
    in our company we want to have one central address book, because we basically all contact the same people.
    What I did was create an account on my Mac Mini Server and added that users address book to everyones addressbook app.
    The problem I have now is that regularily all groups we have are duplicated, simply by opening the addressbook on a second machine.
    Is there a better way of sharing an address book?
    How do I stop the duplication of addresses?
    (All machines are Mountain Lion!)
    Thank you for any tips!
    All the best

  • How do I change the default address book from the Personal Address Book?

    Whenever I click on an email address from within an email and ask to add it to my address book, the contact is added to Personal Address Book. How do I change that so that new addresses will be added to another book?

    I do not know of a way to change the default but after you click the star beside the address to add it to the address book, click the star a second time to open the edit dialog box. There is a drop down list of your address books to make the change there.

  • How can I copy a paragraph of text from a Kindle book on the iPad?

    I just purchased a book to read on the Kindle app on my iPad.
    I would like to copy a paragraph of text to email to someone or to possibly quote in a blog post.
    How can I copy a paragraph of text from a Kindle book on the iPad?

    I'm very late to the conversation but thought I'd chime in since I've just been dealing with this myself. One way to copy from Kindle books is to make sure that you have your settings to backup highlights etc. online, then highlight the text in the Kindle app, go to your Kindle webpage (https://kindle.amazon.com/your_highlights) and copy the text from there.
    Remember, to be able to do this you have to set the app to backup highlights etc. I think this is set individually for each book. On my iPad the default is to backup.

  • How to transfer the whole address book from one no...

    Dear friend,
    Could you please advise me "how to transfer the whole address book from one nokia to another nokia phone via blue tooth connectivity. (move one by one is not convenience for my hundreds of contact.
    Thank and waiting for advice...
    victor

    If your phones have the built-in "Transfer" (sometimes called "Switch") application, try it.
    Otherwise, depending on the model(s) you can also copy all contacts to/from the memory card, and get them over that way.
    And you can also synchronize both programs to the same service (e.g., Outlook on a Windows PC using Nokia PC Suite).
    And newer versions of Nokia PC Suite can also be used to make a backup of one phone, and then restore to another.
    PC Suite you can find here: http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite

  • I have copied my CDs into iTunes  (currently running v11) to play on my iPod.  I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running.  How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?

    I have copied my CDs into iTunes  (currently running v11) to play on my iPod.  I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running.  How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?
    Thanks

    I tried Notpod but can't get it to work.  Part of the problem, I suspect, is that I can't create a folder on my player (a SanDisk Clip+).  I also can't do this in Windows Explorer.  Whilst I can see the Clip+ in Explorer, the option to create a new folder isn't there.
    The error mesag I get in Notpod is:
    "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application.  If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.  If you click Quit the application will close immediately.
    InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'SelctedIndex'. Parameter name: SelectedIndex"
    Then, when I plug the Clip+ into a USB port, iTunes thinks it is my iPad - which is because, I guess, Notpod hasn't worked.
    I can drag and drop files from the Music folder where my iTunes tracks are stored onto the Clip+ and they get converted but I'd rather synchronise a Playlist from iTunes if I can.
    Thanks anyone who can help
