How to export address book from ibook g4 to iMac Intel?

Hi, can anyone advise what I need to do to export the contacts in the address book of an ibook g4 running OS 10.4.11 to a new iMac 3.2 GHz Intel iCore 3 running OS 10.6.7? Thank you for your help.

Hi - on the iBook launch Address Book, click on one of your contacts and then click Command+A to select all contacts. In the Address Book File menu select Export>vCards and save them to disk. If the two Macs are on the same network just copy them across to the iMac, launch Address Book on the iMac and go to File>Import and import the vCards file you copied over. If the Macs aren't on a network copy the vCards file across on a USB stick or email them to yourself.

  • How to move Address Book from iBook to MacBook

    I used migrate to transfer everything from my iBook (OSX.2.8) to new MacBook. Mail is working but missing all of my old addresses in Mail. How do I transfer them to my new MacBook?

    Open Address Book: File: Back-up Address Book. Move backup to new computer. Open Address Book on new computer. File: Revert to back-up (select the backup you just moved over).
    Hope this helps!

  • How to transfer Address Book from old iMac to new MacBook Pro?

    I will soon be getting a MacBook Pro 15" Intel Core i5 with Snow Leopard and want to transfer my Address Book from my old 2003 iMac flat 15" panel running 10.4.11. What is the best way to do that? Is there a particular file or folder that I can copy onto a flash drive to transfer to the new computer? Or can I use my Mobile Me Backup that is on my external drive (or on CD) to do it even though the Backup on the new computer would be a newer version from the older Backup that has the data? I would like to avoid having to use the Migration Assistant if I can, since it looks like that is designed to transfer whole categories of files (like all "files and folders", etc.), which I don't want to do. Thanks in advance for the help.

    When I bought my new MacBook Pro, the sales person showed me how to do the V-card method that you suggested. I tried it at home, and it worked. I have been worrying for years about the best way to do this, so was very relieved to find such a simple method. David Pogue in the Tiger Missing Manual also mentioned another tip which I used: he said to select all the address entries you want to transfer (in my case it was all of them) and then just drag the whole lot out onto the desktop. A V-card icon appeared that said: "Name of Person plus 344 others". I then copied that to a flash drive and then onto the new computer desktop. I then dragged it into the Address Book window. As you said it was done in a matter of seconds. Thank you so much!

  • HT5772 how can i delete books from ibooks on iMac

    how can i delete books from ibooks on imac?

    That doesn't work. It only allows you to delete your local copy but keeps the book in your library. The instructions on Apple's site are also incorrect. They suggest going to iTunes and selecting Books from the Library menu, but there is no Books option under that menu in the current version.
    Anyone at Apple listening?

  • How to export Address Book content as Unicode with applescript?

    Hello,
    I have a problem for exporting address book content. I'd like to export "My Card" to a vcf file and use another application to read it. So I have the following applescript:
    *+tell application "Finder"+*
    *+set theFolder to folder "TemporaryItems" of folder "Caches" of folder "Library" of home+*
    *+end tell+*
    *+tell application "Address Book"+*
    *+set theVcard to (vcard of my card) as Unicode text+*
    *+set theFile to (theFolder as text) & "myCard.vcf"+*
    *+set theFileHandle to open for access theFile with write permission+*
    *+-- write (ASCII character of 254) to theFileHandle+*
    *+-- write (ASCII character of 255) to theFileHandle+*
    *+write theVcard to theFileHandle+*
    *+close access theFileHandle+*
    *+end tell+*
    OK, now the problem is that if "My Card" has any double-byte characters like Chinese or Arabic, the output file will just hold some question marks ("??"). The code works in Tiger but not Leopard. (Add char 254 and 255 just to make it a UTF16-BE file. So it doesn't really change the result of this script.)
    I started digging and guess here is the reason: in the following statement the "vcard of my card" will always return plain text:
    +*set theVcard to (vcard of my card) as Unicode text*+
    I got this clue from the help of ScriptEditor:
    +*vcard (text, r/o) : Person information in vCard format, this always returns a card in version 3.0 format.*+
    But in Tiger, you can see:
    +*vcard (Unicode text, r/o) : Person information in vCard format, this always returns a card in version 3.0 format.*+
    Any workaround to solve this problem?
    (And if this is not the right place to ask such question, please just let me know.)
    Thanks a lot!
    Calvin

    Hello Calvin,
    Since your code works under OSX10.4 and fails under OSX10.5, the cause would be the change made in AppleScript 2.0.
    Try -
    write theVcard as Unicode text to theFileHandle
    instead of -
    write theVcard to theFileHandle
    The read/write commands in AS 2.0 have been change so that they will always interpret the text in system's primary encoding if 'as Unicode text' is not specified in commands' parameter.

  • How to get address book from Mac desktop to a MacBook Pro

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro 13" with Lion.  I have a IMac desktop and want to put my address book from it to the MacBook Pro and don't know how to do it.  Can someone help me with this?  I also need to move my word documents. I have Microsoft Word for Mac 2004, Version 11.6.3 on the desktop. Is it possible to move over also? 

    Office 2004 wont work on Lion 10.7. You should upgrade. From your iMac:
    User/Library/Application Support. Copy the AddressBook folder to the desktop of your new MBP. On the MBP:
    From the Finder. Hold down the option key and click on Go from the menu and select Library. That'll open the User/Library folder. Open the Application Support folder and put your AddressBook folder there. Moving documents: Connect the two with firewire cables. The iMac should be shut down. Boot the iMac while holding down the 't' key. That'll boot it into target disk mode and you should see the iMac's hard drive on the MBP's desktop. Copy the files over.

  • How to Transfer Address Book from Razor to Iphone

    Make a new contact group in Address Book that will be the place where you store the contacts from the RAZR
    Use iSync to retrieve the contacts from the RAZR over bluetooth, and put the phone contacts into the new contact group you just made
    Then, when syncing the iphone, activate that group in iTunes to sync contacts to the iPhone
    viola! no typing, no nothing way to move the contacts.
    Of course, I am assuming that you have bluetooth on your mac.

  • How to sync address book from OS 10.7 to 10.6

    Is there any way to sync my address book from 10.7 to 10.6 ?  Is there a work-around?

    I actually found the solution on another page.  If I go into iTunes while my iPhone is plugged in, I just needed to click on the "Info" tab of iPhones in iTunes and then click on "Sync Address Book Contacts," since it wasn't checked after the upgrade.  Simple solution when you know what the answer is. 

  • How do I stop Address Book from opening with the same searched name?, How I stop Address Book from opening with the same searched name?

    Every time I open Address Book (Lion) it opens to the same vcard with the same name in the search field. How do I keep this from happening? I have tried deleting the vcard, deleting the plist, and importing/exporting my contact. However, the search field contents are alwyas the same - even if I delete the field, close, and re-open. Thanks.

    Hi Romulus949,
    You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
    There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. Then you can set your homepage to anything you like.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How to Export Address Book contacts as CSV file for Gmail?

    Hi
    I wish to export some of my Address Book contacts towards Gmail (which i use through the web interface for now) but I don't want to export vcards as i don't trust big brother Google with all the other data (snail mail, phone numbers, birthdays, etc).
    I have tried to do the export through Address Book but found no CSV export option.
    I've searched the forum for an answer, but to no avail. Some other (paying) websites claim to offer solutions but the "pay before you see" deters me from using them.
    Any tip on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. Scripts and software also welcome, if shareware/freeware.
    Cheers,
    FMN

    Thanks for your answer, but gmail's help specifically states one can import contacts in CSV format and i was looking for a simple batch solution.
    Here is a link to the relevant gmail page (might be in French - am not a "Froguette" for nothing ;)) about importing:
    <http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=28647>
    and the one about importing addresses as CSV files:

    So my question still stands.
