How does one import address book contents and ringtones?

Hi, i've got a new iPhone, but can't figure out how to load up the contacts or import ringtones from iTunes. The instructions are not very clear, and even though there is a tab in iTunes for the iphone, clicking on it just makes it disappear. Anyone have any suggestions on how to set it up?
Thanks.

How does one import photographs from Picasa to Photoshop?

Another ooption is to use a neat little gadget called an i-Flashdrive.
It can be used to transfer pictures between IOS devices. I recently got one from Amazon and it allows me to quickly and conveniently transfer pictures between my partner's and my iPhones and iPads.

How can I import address book from thunderbird on another computer

I just purchased a new laptop and have dowloaded Thunderbird for my e-mail as that was what I was using on desktop. I have 2 e-mail accounts, my personal e-mail addresses came thru with no difficulty however my other account the contacts in address book didn't come thru. So question is how can I get address book imported for this account too. My desktop is Windows XP and my laptop is Windows 8
thanks for any help

The neat thing to do would be to copy the profile from the XP machine to the W8 machine. This would have transferred your messages, your account settings and your Address Book and much else.
Given that you have set up Thunderbird and have started using it, copying over the profile may not now be terribly attractive for you.
So, instead, you can export and import your Address Books.
On the XP computer, open the Address Book, select an address book (e.g. Personal Address Book), select '''Tools|Export''', select the name and location of a file to contain the exported data, choose LDIF and then Save. Repeat for each required address book. Give your LDIF files simple but meaningful names, such as PAB.ldif and CA.ldif. Don't use, for instance, ''Personal Address Book.ldif'', as this will create a second address book with the same name as one of the defaults and you won't be able to easily tell which is which.
Put the exported LDIF files where the W8 computer can see them, e.g. a USB memory stick.
On the W8 machine, open the address book, Tools|Import and select an exported LDIF file. It will import and create a new address book; you'll probably want to move the Contact data back to the usual address book. You can select all (ctrl+a) then drag-and-drop the imported Contacts to the preferred address book. Repeat for each LDIF file.
Having said that, I don't understand what you mean by "my personal e-mail addresses came thru with no difficulty however my other account the contacts in address book didn't come thru"; unless you have moved the profile folder over, I don't understand why ''any'' contacts should have transferred.
If you have in fact moved the profile folder, then I'm puzzled as to why the transfer of address books has been incomplete. However the export and import route should be able to reclaim the missing address book(s).

How can I import address books from Thunderbird to Mail?

I had to use Thunderbird for all my Mail, because I cannot import about 10 different e-mail address lists with a total of about 300
addresses (contacts) into the Mail application nor into the Contacts Application. Every other e-mail application, and every server
supports imports like this.
Apple appears to have no solution either. On Apple Support site for Mail and Contacts, it says "Support temporarily not available"
and said so for weeks. I tried to import into Contacts, using Thunderbird address book files converted to ..Idif format and Contacts
imported them import without any fuzz. The folders appeared in Contacts as sub-folder the same name I had in the export files.
After the import I quit both Mail and Contacts and restarted my MacbookAir, it runs on OS 10.8.5., Mail is version 6.6.
I opened up Mail and the new sub-folders were listed in its Address Book window, However when I clicked ao any of them, they
would not open. I opened the Contacts application, and the folders were still there but when I tried to open the they were empty.
Is there a way to import those addresses, so they will show up?

Thanks for trying to help but .mbox is used for mailboxes, not address lists (Contacts).
I understand that Apple Mail and Contacts use .csv files for their lists, and I was able to
import my first Contact List using that type of File, but then was only table to get the name
the content of one List imported.
Last thing I tried, I used my Webmail Server which can import all address books (Contacts) and
export them across all sorts of different e-mail applications (they list about 10 different types)
and yes, the only missing is Apple Mail.
Looks like I am stuck with having to use Thunderbird, because I Mail will not import my
Contacts.

How do I import Address Book data from an old Mac to a new one?

I just bought a MacBook using OS 10.5.1. How can I transfer the address card data from my old eMac using system 10.3.9? The two machines are currently connected with a Firewire cable, and my laptop is reading the eMac's hard drive.

It's actually very simple. In your old AB under the file menu click "Export Address Book Archive to your desktop. Then using the new system log in to the old via network and move the file from the old to the new.
Then open the new AB and click import AB archive"
You're done

How can I import address book info from old mac to new one?

Just got a macbook, and migrated all the info as per instructions. Now I need to get all the info from my old address book to the new one. Spent about 6 hours today trying to figure this out, and an hour of that was spent on the phone with a friendly but clueless customer service rep. Managed to get all the vcards transferred, but no group info. Since this is for my business, I need to get this taken care of ASAP--- help, anyone? Thanks!!!

Exporting vCards from Address Book partially preserves group information - it puts it in the notes field as Categories, which is not very useful. I suggest you export one group at a time. I don't think you can import directly into a group, so create a group, import the cards for that group, then select all the cards in the "Last Import" pseudo-group and drag them to the appropriate group.
If some of your contacts are in multiple groups the duplicates will be spotted on import. Unless you have hundreds of groups it should not be to much of a pain. Otherwise look at Gwenhiver.net - Applications - Address Book Exporter - it may preserve groups on re-import (but I don't know).

How do i import Address Book

I am using Snow Leopard with a new iMac, and want to import the Address Book in my G4 Sawtooth running Tiger. How do get the content of the old address book to the new address book?
Thanks.
Robert

Try this:
Open Address Book on Tiger SawtoothG4. Highlight/select a group one at a time. For each group, highlight/select all cards within that group. Drag to your Sawtooth's desktop. You will get one "mega-VCF" card with a name like "Alice Adams and 43 others.vcf". Rename that file to "GroupName.vcf" (where "GroupName" is replaced by your actual group's name). Repeat for remaining groups. Transfer them all to a USB mem stick, or if the Sawtooth's USB is burnt up, too, email them to yourself. On the new iMac, put the mega-vcf's on the iMac Desktop. Open Address Book. Manually create your groups in Address Book. Drag and drop each "GroupName.vcf" file one-by-one into their appropriate group in Address Book. Done.

How do I import address book from time machine backup

My address book was populated on an imac running Lion and I used time machine to back up to an external hard drive.
The imac crashed and I've purchased another one running Mavericks.
How do I import the contents of my address book from the backup on the external drive to the address book on the new imac?
Whenever I try to select or open an earlier version of the address book in the backup applications folder on the external drive, I get a message saying that I can't open the file because it is a time machine backup.
There is also a diagonal line going through the address book thumbnail icon and various other applications in the backup applications folder and I get the same error message informing that these apps are time machine backups.
If you have a solution please be as clear and precise as possible with instructions as I am not a computer boffin.

Here's the situation:
I have a G4 with Tiger OS that has 2 years of saved emails and Address Book entries. I just got a G5, installed brand new drives, and did a fresh install of Leopard. I did not use Migration Assistant during the install, because I have no router.
Then I connected the 2 'puters with firewire, and started the G4 in Target Mode, and attempted to Import my old mail and Address Book. I diddled around and was able to import my old mailboxes. I did just realize, though, that only about half the emails were imported; there's a huge gap of nearly a year up until I stopped using the G4.
Also, when I go to the Address Book and try to import my old one, it shows up not as a solid icon that I can select, but a ghostly icon, for lack of a better word, and it will not let me select it.
I really thought this should be easier and less painful. I'm open to suggestions, including whether I should try to use the Leopard install DVD to try the Migration Assistant with a Firewire connection or an ethernet cable.
Thanks.

How can I import address book contacts from 10.2 to 10.6?

I have an uncle who recently had a computer with 10.2 that crashed. I recovered all his files. His new computer is now at 10.5 or 6, and will not import old contacts from 10.2. Anyone know how I can import them?

How can I copy address book content from user 1 to user 2 in my iMac

I have my iMac set up with 2 users. The address book is in user 1. I need to establish a copy of it in user 2 so that the icloud I have set up for that user icludes the address book. How can i copy the address book from user 1 to user 2?

Are you sure you did that right ... because I did a File/Backup Address Book, and the file named included the date. I then copied the file through our Airport network from the Powerbook to a new iMac. The opening Address Book on the iMac, I did a File/Revert to Address Book Backup, which allows you to choose the file. Now the iMac had the same Address Book file as the Powerbook. This looks to me to be the same thing you are trying to do.

How does one regenerate a Book using a previously generated *.bk log file?

I could swear that I've done this before, but I can't remember the correct steps to take. I'm using FrameMaker v10. Thanks.

You don't/can't. Just use the Edit > Update Book (or Alt-F6) to regenerate.
If by "regenerate" you mean to create a new version of a book, then just add the required files to a new book file and set your options as required.

How does one import an html template into Adobe Muse?

I have downloaded several templates advertised as Muse templates but they all appear to be html5 templates. Can one import them into Adobe Muse?

You can't import an HTML template. You need the original .muse file. If they are Muse templates you would have gotten them as a .muse file.

How does one import images and maintain the sorting order?

i'm trying to import 59 images (1024 x 768 png files) into keynote. i want them to create a series of image slides with 1 image/slide and keep them in the order i.e. sorted by image file name such as:
image001.png
image002.png
image003.png
and so on.
i've tried dragging and dropping these images onto the navigator sidebar but the images get out of order randomly.
has anyone encountered this? this seems like a bug.
thanks,
matt

hi marcus.
thanks for the suggestion.
while i have not tried your solution yet, i'll bet that it'll work and you're correct, it would be faster than rearranging the slides later. it drives me crazy that what i'm trying to do does not work out of the box. if there's one thing apple promotes in its apps its got to be drag and drop. that this does not yet work is nutty.
good luck,
matt

How does one import just 1 picture from one's digital camera?

I have 700 pictures on my digital camera and I only want to import one picture. Is this possible? How do I do it?
Thank you.

If your camera mounts on the desktop as an external device, then it's as simple as choosing File > Import to Library, then navigating to the camera and selecting the photo you want.
If not, use Image Capture, found in the Applications folder, to import. Save it to the desktop, then open iPhoto and import it. You can delete the first location once the file is imported into iPhoto.
A third way is to use a card reader. It will mount on the desktop, even if your camera does not. With a card reader, you can always preview the files before you import, and select only the ones you want. IMO, it's the best way to import.
Here's one more trick, copied from MacOSXHints.com: "In iPhoto 6.0.4, when you attach a digital camera and see the import screen, press the Return key on your keyboard twice in succession. iPhoto will switch to editing mode, showing all pictures that reside on the digital camera. You cannot make changes to the pictures, nor can you drag the pictures individually to your iPhoto library, but you can see everything on the camera." Old Toad says you can use this trick to drag one photo into the library, but that it only works with one at a time and is very slow. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4079344&#4079344

How does one import Capture One 7.0 Pro files into Lightroom 5.3?

I'm trying to import CR2 files from Capture One Pro 7.0 into Lightroom 5.3. I've done this before but this time around LR5 is not seeing the files yet I know they're there.

Ok, I poorly communicated. I realize that the CR2 files came from my Canon camera. I made an assumption that the issue had something to do with the files being in a Capture One folder. It didn't make sense to me why I could view the files in a finder window. I had too many images in subfolders to drag and drop or move them. They were organized in Capture One subfolders from the shoot.
I also realize that the files are no more in Capture One then they are in LR.
Right after I posted this I decided to quit LR and restart my computer.
Issue resolved.
No idea what the issue was but it's moot.
Thank you both for the reply.
