How do I move contacts from 1 address book to another?

I have tried to "select" then drag and drop contacts from the Mac OS x address book, and vice versa, to the personal address book but nothing happens.

Thunderbird only has read only access to the mac address book.

    how do i add contacts from address book to iPhone using itunes 11.0.2

    Check the manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf, but it is done via the syncing process with iTunes or iCloud.

  • How do I move contacts from one group to another?

    I entered several contacts in address book.  How do I control which group they are assigned to at the time of entry?  The ones I added showed up in my office contacts in Outlook instead of in Hotmail/iCloud.
    Is it possible to move them from one group to another once entered?

    Do the contacts that are not in iCloud belong to an external account such as Gmail, Yahoo or an Exchange account?  Or, do they belong to On My iPhone?

    HOW CAN I MOVE A CONTACT FROM ONE GROUP TO ANOTHER GROUP?

    You usually make ​​contact groups via a computer (Mac or PC). If you use a mac and sync. via iCloud, you can go into Contacs.app and organize your contacts as you wish. Then (if) you sync with iCloud the groups you've changed or created will be displayed on your iPhone and (or) iPad.
    Hope this helped you.

  • How to batch add contacts from Address Book to Jabber?

    Hi Guys,
    I've recently imported my contacts from my hotmail account. Some of these are AIM, Gmail (iChat compatible accounts). Instead of adding one by one can i batch add them from my address book?
    Cheers
    Jim

    Hi,
    Yes.
    Click on names in the Address Book (you can either do this with the Shift or Apple key as Modifiers or create Groups to keep Jabber and AIM buddies separate at this stage.)
    Once Highlighted drag them to the relevant iChat Buddy List.
    (I once did 249 people like this.)

  • How do I delete contacts from address book in Snow Leopard OSX 10.6

    I thought I had deleted some contacts from my Address Book but when I then typed in a similar name, all the old addresses came up as options. Can anyone help on this please?   I feel stupid having to ask something that is so simple.  Many thanks.

    I think I may have found my own solution thank you.    I deleted a contact in the Address Book by using Edit and deleting all the contents from the card.
    I also went to the WINDOW MENU and found 'Previous Recipients".   This brought up a whole list of people who had received or sent emails and I deleted the ones I didn't need and now when I start to type in an address in my email I only get the relevant options - not ones from way back.
    This might just help somebody else.

  • How to recover lost contacts from address book with isync.

    Hi everyone,
    I've just lost all my contacts even in my Nokia N95 when I use iSync. I've deleted my contacts manually in my address book to make a refresh sync with my Nokia. After I conected again and start sync, it deleted all my contacts on my Nokia... I am very dissapointed and angry with Apple.
    Can you guys help me bring back my 500 contacts in my address book so I can put back in my Nokia as well?
    Thank you in advance.
    Matt

    Not to my knowledge.  As I see it you now are in a position of manually recreating you contact list or as I previously suggested engage a professional in data recovery with no guarantee of 100% or any recovery.
    I wish it were otherwise.
    Ciao.

  • How do I move contacts from one iphone to another iphone?

    I was trying to set up my settings on my iphone after doing so all my contacts disappeared. I have my old iphone. Is it possible to transfer my contacts from my old iphone to my new one? If so, how?

    The iPhone is designed to sync contact info with a supported address book application on your computer. With Windows, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with the address book used by Outlook Express with XP, or the with the address book used by Windows Mail with Vista - which is the name change for Outlook Express with Vista.
    With a Mac, this can be with the Address Book application, or with the Entourage address book - MS's equivalent for Outlook with a Mac.
    Before syncing contact info with a supported address book on a computer that is not currently being used - the supported address book is empty, you need to enter one contact in the supported address book - make the contact up if needed, which will be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing contact info with the supported address book, which you want to select.

  • How Do I Move Contacts from One Machine to Another?

    I am a brand new user.  I bought an I-Phone.  I used my son's computer and sinked up with his machine.  I like the the phone and bought an apple computer. When I synced up, every thing was gone.  Back to the son's machine and it wall all back.  I want the apps I bought and the phone numbers and contacts what do I do?

    You must authorize your Apple computer with your iTunes account with iTunes - the same iTunes account that was used to download the apps.
    With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. This should include all iTunes content on your iPhone that was downloaded from the iTunes store including any music, video, and paid and free 3rd party apps.
    Next enter one contact in the Address Book app on your Apple computer before the first sync - make the contact up if needed, which can be deleted later.
    After confirming all apps on your iPhone are now in your iTunes library, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and make sure all apps below are selected. Under the info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select Sync contacts with the Address Book. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. After this initial merge, the contacts between the two will be kept synchronized with following syncs.
