How do I import contacts from my other iMac to my new one?

I already have one iMac and just bought another one for our family. I don't know how to import my contacts from the first one so that I can have my contacts on the new one as well.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
Open AddressBook on the older computer. Go to File > Export > AddressBook Archive.... Then move the file the new iMac and in AddressBook choose File > Import > AddressBook Archive.... This will overwrite the connects on the destination iMac, it doesn't 'sync' the contacts. If you have .mac the contacts can be synced.

    How can I import contacts from another AIM account to this new one??

    Hi,
    Use AIM for Mac and use the Export and Import features.
    Other than that it is a question on making sure every Single Buddy has more than just their Screen name in the IChat Address Card so it is added to the Address Book and dragging them back from there

  • How do you download music from your other computer to your new one?

    I have 2 ipods with music from my old computer on it and now my new computer doesnt give me the option to download my music to itunes. I REALLY WANT TO BUY NEW SONGS! please help us figure out how to do this! thanks

    You need to transfer the music from your old computer to the new one. You can use Migration Assistant or just copy the files from one to another.
    If they were purchased from the iTunes Store all you have to do is "authorize" the computer to play them. You can authorize up to five computers.

  • How do I transfer files from my current imac to the new one. My old imac is running 10.5.8

    Hello
    I got a new iMac 10.8.2 and also have a iMac 10.5.8 how can I conenct those 2 ?
    All I want is to use some of my files on my new one.I don't want to transfer ALL my files,just some,like pictures. But only the once I need. Not all of them.
    I have a FireWire cable,don't work, I have ethernet cable,don't work.
    So I must do something wrong If someone could maybe explaint it to me step by step that would be great,since I am not a big Mac (computer) freak.
    So basically I would like to use my old iMac as a external drive where I could get my files from and transfer them to my Mountain Lion, iMac.
    Also If someone knows,why Mountain Lion always loses internet conections,would be also a very big help! Thank you!
    But please, in simple step by step explaining. My english is not the best,my German is much better
    Thank you so much already for the help, I really appreciated!

    Oh, on the losing Internet, try this...
    Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
    10.7 & 10.8…
    System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
    10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
    Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
    For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...

  • How can I import contacts from Snow Leopard iMac to my Mavericks MBP without replacing all of the contacts.

    *** Updated - FIgured this out right after I posted... I simply selected all contacts on the iMac, exported as a .vcf then dragged that into the MBP contacts ***
    Problem solved...
    *Original Question*
    I have a MacBook Pro (MBP) running Mavericks... syncs contacts via iCloud with my iOS devices.  My iMac is an original intel model from 2006 which can only run Snow Leopard.  I have many contacts on that iMac that I would like to copy into the contacts on my MBP. 
    I used the 'Address Book Archive' feature on my iMac - transferred that to a flash drive then tried to import into the MBP contacts at which point it said it would replace the contents on my MBP... something I do NOT want to do.
    Does anyone have a way of bringing all of my iMac contacts in to the MBP without replacing?
    I appreciate any help...  Thank you !
    Mike

    Use this app My Contacts Backup on the iTunes App Store,
    It will make a vcard (.vcf) file containing your contacts and email it to the address you choose. Just import it to the iCloud account on your Mac and it will be available to all your Macs and IOS devices in iCloud.
    If you keep a copy after you import you will have a handy backup as well.

  • HT4489 how can transfere my contact from the old phone to the new one

    Hi Please assist Im struggling to transefere my information {phone book, gallary etc}
    from my old to the new please assist
    Regards

    If you go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, you will see an option title "iCloud Backup". Turn it on.  Allow the backup to complete on your old device.
    When setting up your new device, you will be asked if you want to set up your device as a new device, or restore from a backup. Choose that you want to restore from an iCloud backup, and choose the backup with the name of your old phone. It may take several minutes to several hours (depending on the amount of data backed up and the speed of your internet connection) to restore your data, but it will restore all of your iCloud data, as well as your apps and photos.

  • How do you transfer information from an old iMac to a new one?

    transfering info from old to new iMac?

    New iMacs have Firewire 800, check to see if your old Mac has Firewire 800 or Firewire 400. If it has FW 400 you need a cable like:
    http://www.amazon.com/Oyen-Digital-Firewire-1394B-Cable/dp/B0027DPM1U/ref=sr_1_1 ?ie=UTF8&qid=1343363461&sr=8-1&keywords=firewire+400+to+800+cable
    You can find these at your local computer store, Best Buy, Radio Shack or of course Amazon. Simply run SA and follow the on-screen directions and you will migrate very quickly. If your old machine has a Time Machine backup you can migrate from that and use a USB connection which is considerably slower than FW but it works. You can also do wireless however DO NOT, repeat DO NOT go that route as a migration could take a week (I'm not kidding) or more and they frequently fail. Of course if both machines are FW800 then the solution is simple a simple FW800 cable connection.

  • How can i import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    How can I import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    The only way I know of to import cells from a csv file is by creating a new file.  But then you can select the desired cells and copy them to the other file.  I just did it to be sure it works.
    1. Create the new spreadsheet file via the upload command.
    2. Select the cells (table) that you want to move to the other file and press command+C (copy).
    3. Close the new file and open the existing file.
    4. Select the top/right cell of the area to receive the copied "table" and press commant+V (paste).
    I hope this is what you're trying to do!

  • How can i import contacts from my regular sim to iphone 5 (nano sim)

    how can i import contacts from my regular sim to iphone 5 (nano sim)

    Sync the phone with the regular sim to the appropriate program on your
    computer. When you set up the iPhone 5 in iTunes on that computer, you
    will be offered the chance to import the contacts, etc.
    Or take old phone and new iPhone to your wireless provider. They have the
    equipment to do this quickly.

  • How do i import contacts from my hotmail account

    how do i import contacts from my hotmail account? Every time i try, there's a message that keeps popping up saying that it can't do because the contacts aren't separated by commas...????? Please help, i'm a recent "switcher"
    thanks

    The short answer, for now, is you don't. It's increasingly clear that Microsoft does not want to extend this privilege to users of free HotMail accounts, not does it want to offer POP3 access to anyone other than paying HotMail Plus users at this point, and for the foreseeable future. And, IMAP: that's out of the question, apparently.
    While the plugin idea is a nice one, the referenced open-source HTTPMail plug in is broken by Mac OS X 10.5, and nothing has been heard to date from the developer about an update to support Mail in Leopard.
