How do I import the address book from another hard drive?

I wish to know if t is possible to import the address book from a slave drive that is bootable, but operating system (XP Pro Sp3) is not supported by my new motherboard. Thank you.

'''If the address book is LDIF or .csv or Text file:'''
In Address Book:
* Tools > Import
* Select 'Address Books' and click on Next
* select: 'Text file(LDIF, .tab, .csv, .txt) and click on Next.
* You might need to map the column headers.
'''If the address book is a .mab file or .csv file :'''
you could use this addon tool: MoreFunctionsForAddressBook
* https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html
'''How to install addon:'''
Download the .xpi file to your eg: Desktop
In Thunderbird
* 'Tools' > 'Addons' OR 'Menu Icon' > 'Addons'
* clickon gear wheel icon and select 'Install addon from file'
* locate the file you downloaded and click on 'Open'
* You may need to restart Thunderbird.
In Address Book

  • How do I import the address book from my E72

    I just got a iPhone 4 and have over 300 contacts from the phonebook to import from an E72. Can someone advise.
    Thx

    The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
    You need get the contacts available in either Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 or in Windows Contacts by whichever method is supported for this with the E72 and Windows - software available for the device that can get the contacts in a supported address book app on your computer or by transferring the contacts from the device to supported address book application on your computer via Bluetooth.

    With many applications it's just a matter of dragging the file that has all the addresses into the address book. If for some reason that doesn't work you can use the import function of the address book. If you happen to have them in Outlook here is one way:

  • Import the address book from entourage to .mail?

    Does anyone know how to import the address book from entourage?
    I have had major problems with entourage - and I have decided to use .mail.
    I have managed to get the email accounts transfered, but I can't figure out how to get the address book.
    This is about 15 years of acquiring address, so, it would be a major thing to manually do this, not to mention that I can't find an address book in .mail
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    AWebdancer

    Thanks - I moved the addresses, it wouldn't let me move the groups, but at least I have the major addresses.
    One thing that would make .mail better is to be able to do a search on it for an old email that you now need. I hope that comes out with the new osx software.
    Thank you so much Alberto.

  • Import the address book from 10.4?

    I just updated one of our computers from 10.4 to OS 10.6.7 -- I didn't use migration assistant, because I didn't want all of the user's data to carry over to the new build, I wanted to be more selective. How can I import the user's address book? I've tried copying all the files over from:
    User > Library > Application Support > Address Book
    ... but they still don't show up in Address book. What can I do?
    Thanks in advance!

    If you copied all the files, delete this file: AddressBook-v22.abcddb.
    It is the index (database) that Address Book makes. If it is there, it won't try to convert the addressbook.data file.
    When it starts up and sees only the addressbook.data file, it will convert it to the new format with all the individual vCards in the metadata folder and the index in the above referenced file.

  • My wife has iCloud on our computer and I want to break out and create my own account. Once I build the account how do I copy the address book from her account into mine?

    my wife has icloud on our computer and I want to break out and create my own icloud account. I've built the account but can't figure out how to COPY our joint address book onto my account so I can then weed out my own addresses. Please help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    When you log out of the joint account, you should be asked if you want to keep the contacts, you do. When you log into your new account you should be asked if you want to merge contacts, you do.
    If you have already signed into your new account and not taken these options, the simplest thing to do might be to add your wife's account back as a secondary account in system preferences > mail, contacts & calendars. In groups in address book you can drag contacts from your wife's contacts onto your contact group to copy them.
