How do I transfer Microsoft Outlook Contact 2010 files from my PC to my MacBook Air iOS operating system?

While attempting to eliminate duplicate entries on my MacBook Air Contacts file I somehow, instead, rolled all 962 contacts into a SINGLE contact! I figured the easiest way to solve the issue was to send a copy of my Microsof Outlook 2010 contacts to one of my personal email addresses. Not so luckly. I have tried to save the files to be transferred in CSV format, Tab-separated, and Excel...all to no avail. My Mac keeps telling me I have transferred the files in a non-readable file format.

From Contacts help (click to expand):
If Outlook is capabile of producing vcard files, Contacts can import those as well.

HT4859 How do I transfer my outlook contacts to my iPhone?

How do I transfer my outlook contacts from my lap top to my iPhone?

Howdy Blue Island Ave,
Here is an article about doing just that named Syncing contacts and calendars to iPod with iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3191.
Dont let the name fool you, the steps are also relevant for an iPhone.
To configure iTunes to sync contacts to your iPod:
Open iTunes.
Connect your iPod and wait for it to appear in the iTunes Source pane.
In the Source pane under Devices select your iPod. This displays the iPod's Preferences.
Click Info.
Select the "Sync Contacts from..." checkbox.
From the menu, choose the program (Outlook or Windows Contacts) that contains the contacts you want to sync with your iPod.
Click Apply.
Tip: iTunes for Windows can only sync Microsoft Outlook and Windows Contacts automatically. Note: Contact Groups from Windows Contacts will not sync with iPod.
Note: iTunes for Windows can only sync contacts from one source at a time, either Outlook or Contacts. If you change the sync source, your new contacts will overwrite the previously stored contacts.
Regards,
Sterling

How do I transfer my email history and files from windows using MS Outlook to an imac

I am about to buy an iMac. How do I transfer my email history and files from my MS Windows based computer, using Outlook?

You might want to use Migration assistant. On the internet you will find the Windows software to install on your Windows computer.
Mac has its own assistant, called configuration assistant.
On the Windows PC, you will need to shutdown antivirus software and also to turn-off the Windows Firewall.
After software installation and starting the program on your Windows PC, you need to run configuration assistant on your mac.
Best and fastest sollution would be to connect both computers with a UTP cable.
Follow instructions to be found here:
Switch Basics: Migrate your Windows files to your Mac
Hope it works out for you.
Goodluck

Any suggestions on how you can transfer photos (including location description etc) from iphoto's on a Mac air book to a Mac?

Any suggestions on how you can transfer photos (including location description etc) from iphoto's on a Mac air book to a Mac? Whenever I export the pictures the additional information is lost

Two ways:
1. File -> Export. Set the Kind to Jpeg or Tiff
Check the boxes at 'Location Information' and 'Titles and Keyword'
The information is written to the iptc and Exif metadata on the file.
2. Use iPhoto Library Manager This will get all of the information plus faces and edit history

Yest it will restore photos deleted from yur iOd probvide that the photos were taken before the the last synce/backyp was made. Make syre yu have automatic syncing turned off (Itunes>Preference>Devices>Check the box that says prevent auto syncing when connected). Otherwise when connected, a backup that reflects the deleted photos will be made and will replace the previous backup.

How to import a microsoft outlook contact file into an iphone 3gs?

How does one import an existing contact list in microsoft outlook 2003 on my home computer into my iphone 3gs?

Within iTunes you should have the option to select your iPhone, select the Info tab up the top, select Sync Contacts and then (if given the option) select Outlook as the area to sync from.
Make sure you backup first to prevent any data loss.

How do I transfer my outlook contacts from my old laptop to my new macbook pro?

need to transfer all my address contacts to my macbook pro from my laptop. the version is outlook Microsoft Outlook 2007. Help!

In Outlook, go to contacts.
Then export them (as VCards).
Copy the VCards to a USB drive or other extern drive that you can access from your MacBook Pro,
Drag/drop the VCards on Address Book and Mac OS X does the rest.
Kind regards

How do I transfer Candy Crush at same level from husband's Mini to my Air?

I have been playing Candy Crush Saga on my husband's iPad mini and reached level 167. I do not play it via Facebook. I now have my own iPad Air, how do I transfer the CC app at the same level.I synced the iPads and dragged the icon over, but when I opened it on the Air, it was at the beginning.

Yes! I've found out how to do this! I'd transferred progress from iPhone to iPad by accident, then lost it again through syncing, but I pondered on the issue and I've done it!!! Here is how:-
Turn on computer, then iTunes.
Plug in iPhone with USB cable.
Click on iPhone in My Devices
Find the bit in Summary about Back up Manually. Lower RHS.
CLICK ON Back up this iPhone to computer, and let it run it's course.
Connect iPad to computer with lightening cable.
Click on iPad in My Devices.
Go to Summary part of iTunes as before, but this time click on Restore manually.
IMPORTANT BIT!
In the box showing Restore From, scroll through to find your iPhone, don't restore from the same device.
So the Candy Crush which is on iPhone will be copied onto your iPad.
It works!
Now I just need to find out why iPhoto is multiplying my photos between devices, I think it's PhotoStream that is doing it.

How do I Transfer my photo albums on my iPhone 5 over to my Macbook Air?

When i connect my phone to my macbook air, the photos don't automatically sync, neither do the music, notes or contacts!? Is anybody else having the same problems as me or can anyone help mee?

A couple of comments:
1) Since the release of Mavericks (OS X 10.9) contacts (and calendars) are no longer synced via connecting to a Mac. It used to be a part of a sync via iTunes but that is no longer the case. Contacts and calendars are now synced with a Mac via iCloud. http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
2) Photo transfer from the phone to a Mac is not and has not previously been part of a sync and does not involve iTunes. That is an import: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 and can either use iPhoto or Image Capture. One of them can be set to open automatically if your Mac is recognizing that a phone or camera has been attached. Is that not happening?
3) I can't tell from your post whether the issue is that either a) the Mac, iTunes, or both is simply not recognizing that you have connected your phone or b) the Mac recognizes it but an iTunes sync doesn't automatically start. If you start iTunes manually with the phone connected, does iTunes recognize it then?

HT1386 I copied my my iTunes music from an old computer to a Macbook Pro, but it did not copy the playlists on my nano. How can I transfer the playlists and their content from the nano to the Macbook

I copied my iTunes music from an old computer to a new Macbook pro but it did not copy the playlists that are on my Nano. How can I copy the playlists and their content on the nano to the Macbook? If I automatically sync the nano from the Macbook, will it scrub the content and existing playlists on the nano?

You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

How do I transfer a rented movie on iTunes from my iMac to my MacBook Pro?

I got on my iMac today and rented a few movies thinking that iTunes would send them out to all my devices automatically. I have all the check boxes checked on all devices to download automatically. There are instructions for transfering from computer to a device but not how to do it from one computer to another.

Hi Claire,
Rentals can be downloaded from a computer to a device, but not to another computer. Here is the Apple Support article on Movie Rentals FYI:

How can I delete the backups of my imac, that are stored on my macbook air.

I wanted to transfer a folder (of 5 gigas) from my iMac to my macbook air (both running Lion OS) using a thunderbolt cable, so I started my macbook air on target disk mode (by starting it up while holding the key T) and on my iMac I went to the time machine utility, switched it on and selected the disk from the macbook air, I selected the folder, copied it to my macbook air's dekstop, the whole process took me less than 2 minutes. I disconnected the cable, turned the macbook air on and the folder was in the desktop as I wanted, however, it was created automatically a backup of my iMac on my macbook air. So now I am kind of lacking space and I want to delete the backup, but unfortunately, I can't find the backup on my macbook.

.....and the name of the folder?
press Command-F in the Finder to bring up a Finder search, and then click the plus button to the right of the search window to add a new filter. Then select "other" in the first drop-down menu to assign new filters, followed by adjusting them
Once completed, you can then search for a keyword, such as a file name.
