How can I import my OE address book and IE favorites????

Please help! Getting ready to upgrade from 9.2.2 .to 10.4.4 but...
how can I import my Outlook Express address book (full of my vital email contacts!) to Mac Mail and my Internet Explorer favorites to another program supported by 10.4.4? Which program is the easiest and best to replace IE?
Thanks for you help.

Hi Margaret
Tiger comes with Safari included - which will replace IE. there are other free browsers like Firefox, Camino, Opera ..... you'll find a huge list at http://darrel.knutson.com/mac/www/browsers.html . But for starters, I'd stick with Safari. You can easily ( assuming dsl or cable) download & try out others later.
I don't have a mac IE to check - but look under the file menu & you may find a "export favorites" command. If you do, choose that and export as html. Save it to your desktop or somewhere convenient. You can check it's worked ok double-clicking the file - you should see a looong list of headings & favorites. They won't be clickable links, so don't worry about that - just quickly check that there's nothing obviously missing. This file can be used in Safari by choosing safari-file-import bookmarks & choosing the file you saved.
getting your OE contacts in : check out http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad808.html . Again I don't have OE available - but if there's an 'export contacts' available - it should be easy.

  • 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 see in my address book all contaacts that have not been placed into groups?

    How can I see in my address book the contacts that have not been put into groups?

    The best way to do that is create a new "smart group" with the following:
    This way you can identify those without a group and drag them to one.

  • How can I import multiple email addresses in cc field of MAIL email into Address Book or Contacts?

    Hello...Mail and Address Book used to have a great feature where when you received an email (in Mac MAIL program), if there were multiple emails I'm the "to" or "cc" fields, you could select them all as a batch and drag them into Address Book and it would add them all to Address Book.  Now it doesn't seem to let you do it as a batch...you have to click each email address and select "add to address book". 
    Does anyone know of a workaround, or an AppleScript, or third party app that would allow users to add email addresses to AB in a batch from a MAIL email?
    Thanks!

    Try this.. Click the first in the CC field hold Shift, Click the Second Third, Fouth, Fifth and so on... click right Mouse select add to Contacts.

  • How Do I Import Outlook Express Address Book?

    I have a PC running WXP using Outlook Express as a mail client. And, I have a MAC that I'm trying to get email set up on. I'm trying to get completely off WXP as a home computing environment. Accordingly, I'd like to import the Outlook Express address book from the PC into Address Book on the MAC so I don't have to re-key all those entries. But, I guess I'm not entering the correct magic words, because I haven't been able to find anywhere online exactly how to do this. The Address Book application implies that it can import a csv file, but I can't find out what the format of the CSV file is supposed to be. I exported the OE Address book to a WAB file on my WXP system, and mounted that disk to MAC, and I can see the file, but there doesn't seem to be any way to import it.
    I can create a CSV file fairly easily in Windows if I know the format MAC address Book expects it to be in so I can import it.
    So, I need a clue. I'm surprised to find out how difficult this seems to be, given the general user-friendliness of the Apple environment, and that no one else seems to have had the problem.

    Haven't done this yet but when I was getting my new iMac, we googled it at the Apple store and saw a link to advice on how to do this through Mozilla - apparently you have to transfer it to Mozilla first and then to the Mac. Hope this helps.
    And btw, any other new converts having trouble with their new iMac's freezing up? Here I was all ready to be part of the Apple Army and loved it for the first few days -- only to have it freeze on me so often that I'm ready to bring this lemon back to the store.

  • Can't import backed up address book after hard drive crash

    I had a hard drive crash that sent my G5 into the shop. In the mean time I used my laptop and added info to address book, then transferred that info onto the new hard drive on the G5 when I got it back from the shop. So now I have a current address book and an older backed up copy on another drive. If I try to import the backed up info in address book, it tells me it will overwrite the current version. I want to keep the addresses that I added while my Mac was in the shop and ADD (not overwrite) the addresses from the backed-up copy. How can I do this? Thanks so much!
    Dan

    Opening a backup will always overwrite the existing data. I'll try to explain my solution better:
    You have your Address Book data and your backup. You want to combine them, but Address Book can only use one or the other. Combining them implies that you'll use an export-and-reimport sequence.
    To export your existing data, select the All group. Go to the names column and select them all with the Cmd-A shortcut. Drag that column to the desktop to make a vCard that contains all of your contacts.
    Now the copy of your current address data is on your desktop, so the copy in the Address Book application can be overwritten. Read in the backup to bring the backup contacts into Address Book. The other collection of your contacts is the vCard on your desktop, so drag that in and it will be imported without overwriting the existing data (but it will be merged in if there are duplicate cards).

  • How can i get my previous address book into my current email?

    I use to use road runner as my email but always so slow so I started using Hotmail, had lots of problems with Hotmail so I went back to using rr but I can't get my old address book, I access rr via Mozilla and I didn't before.

  • Can't Import Outlook Express address book to Pearl 8100

    A friend just gave me an AT&T BB Pearl 8100 and I am using it as a phone only with no data plan (it's a company cell phone but they won't pay for a data plan -- I just put my SIM card in the BB).  I am trying to connect to my personal PC with the USB cable and import my OE address book.  I am using Desktop Manager 4.7, and when I try to synch it a window flashes that says "Synchronization Progress - Processing" for about one second, then that disappears and my phone doesn't get updated. Can someone help me?  I searched for this problem prior to posting but can't find this situation.  I dread having to type them one by one -- any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

    I would like to rename my Personal Address Book and my Collected Address Book for aesthetic reasons - is it possible and how do you do it?

    You can rename them but it is not recommended. What purpose is served by renaming the default books? You can create new books and name them anything you like.

  • 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,
    Ep

    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.
