How to export ALL my contact groups ( 20) from Outlook 2010 on one machine to Outlook 2010 on two other machines

 My problem is how to export ALL my contact groups (>20) from Outlook 2010 on one machine (finally established with great pains from a more user-friendly client) to Outlook 2010 on two other computers.  All the help files I've seen refer to
export/import of only a single Group. 
 Outlook seems to be an extraordinarily limited and user-hostile environment for managing an address book.  By way of comparison, the Mulberry client I've been using for years (which is no longer supported) run circles around Outlook for ease of
handling -- everything in the address book, groups and individual, can be exported and imported in a single file.  My computer support staff have warned me about the difficulties of handling groups in Outlook.  Is Microsoft really that incompetent,
or just sadistic ?
Thanks for your help with this.

After a lot of screwing around I finally hit on a solution, which is to export and import contacts using a .pst file (which transfers both individuals and groups) rather than a .csv file -- which transfers only individual contacts but leaves groups untouched.
Why isn't there a clear and simple message from Microsoft saying this in all the so-called Help files on moving contacts in Outlook?

  • How do I delete all my contact groups? Please help me!

    I have deleted all my contacts so I can start fresh- there were so many mistakes. How do I delete the contact groups on my IPhone and the "selected groups" in ITunes under sync contacts with Outlook.

    I take it you want to delete the itunes list and not from your hard drive.
    Select one song in the list, hold down the ctrl + A to select them all (or you can go to viwe on the menu and selcet all. Press the delete key. It might ask you if you want to keep the actual files or send them to the recycle bin. This is your choice, be careful though.
    If your recycle bin is set to only hold a certain amount of data and your mucic exceeds this amount you may not be able to recover it all if you make a mistake.

  • How do I sync Google Contacts groups to iPhone

    I have all my Google contacts in different Groups.  I would like to have those same Google contacts groups synced to iPhone Contacts app. I followed instructions to sync iPhone Contacts with my Google account.  All my Google contacts did sync to iPhone but there were no iPhone contact groups created. So I have one huge list of contacts. How do I sync the Google contacts groups?  Thank you

    Hi - from the"iPhone 6 User Guide for iOS 8.1",I followed the following steps:
    Use your Google contacts: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, tap your Google account,
    then turn on Contacts.
    So I entered Gmail and password. Then withing Contacts app I pressed the Sync link.  Afterwards I've got all contacts in one big list, just not categorized by Google groups.

  • HT1338 How do I create seperate contact groups (family, business, friends) in my Contacts application on my Macbook Pro?

    How do I create seperate contact groups (family, business, friends) in my Contacts application on my Macbook Pro?

    You should have an option to create groups in the File menu. To add contacts to this group, simply drag and drop them to it (switch to Groups display, to view all your groups).
    Otherwise, you may create "smart groups", based on some criteria you define (File menu too).
    Hope this helps.

  • HT204150 I currently have 14,181 contacts that are on my computer, which an apple tech was nice enough to show me how to transfer all my contacts  from my mac 2 "iCloud " account all though when ever I log into my "iCloud" account it still only shows 13,0

    I currently have 14,181 contacts that are on my computer, which an apple tech was nice enough to show me how to transfer all my contacts  from my mac 2 "iCloud " account all though when ever I log into my "iCloud" account from a different web browser it still only shows 13,032. Meanwhile on my mac book pro, the "icloud" contact is still spinning like its trying to update the rest of the missing contacts. I have let the computer run for 2 days straight and still no progress. Is there a limit to how many contacts I store on "iCloud" I have upgraded to the extra 25 gigs per year. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it, because its also slowing down my mac book pro significantly causing it hard to do any other task on my computer....Any advice or help would be again greatly appreciated.

    On the surface, it doesn't sound like you're reaching a limit in the number of contacts you can have.
    I would first create a contacts archive (file >> export) for a backup.  Then, go to system preferences >> icloud and uncheck contacts.  Reboot.  Return to those preferences and recheck contacts.
    Also, review http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4489 just in case you have some contact cards that are reaching a different limitation.

  • How to export my iPhone contacts to iPad 2?

    Does anyone know of a way to export all my contacts from my iPhone straight into my iPad 2 without having to re-type all of them in?
    Thanks a lot.

    You can sync data (bookmarks, contacts, photos, movies…) of your various apple products using itunes Sync.
    After installing it to your computer, connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side.
    Then set up which items are to be synced: Click the corresponding tabs in iTunes to specify which information you want synced between the iOS device and your computer.
    Sync your data.
    If you don’t wanna go through all that trouble, you can use follow these step-by-step guides:

  • I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?

    I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?

    I think there are third-party programs which will do that, but you can also do it with Automator:
    See the links in my post, here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22390873#22390873
    The file or clipboard contents will be in Tab Separated vars, so you'll have to open with a spreadsheet program and save as Comma Separated Vars format.

    How can I direct all my contact form replies (from my website), to my personal email address?
    I have embedded the code to my website but would like all of my contact form replies to be directed to my email address. How can I do this by revising the embedded code. Also will I still be able to receive replies after recieving 5000? At this point will I need a premium account?

    Email notifications are a feature of the Basic and Plus account.
    The free account only allows for 50 responses. The Plus (Premium) account allows for 5000.

  • How to export all the man page in mac to PDF?

    How to export all the man page in mac to PDF?
    I have tried "man -t cat | pstopdf -i -o ~/Desktop/cat.pdf" but this only output one page.
    How could I dump all the man pages to pdf with one or few command as possible?
    The other question is, I copy all the man pages form /usr/share/man, they are .gz.
    After I unzip them and open with less, texteidtor, ultraeditor, all the formate are weird.
    Is there any tool could open them with the right formate as man does?
    I know the man in linux uses the tool "less" to read man pages. How about mac???

    I use Bwana. Copy all and paste into TextEdit. Then, save it. This is the beginning for diskutil:
    diskutil(8)               BSD System Manager's Manual              diskutil(8)
    NAME
         diskutil -- Modify, verify and repair local disks.
    SYNOPSIS
         diskutil [quiet] verb [options]
    DESCRIPTION
         diskutil manipulates the volume-level structure of local disks.  It pro-
         vides information about, and allows the administration of, the partition-
         ing scheme of disks, optical discs, and AppleRAID sets.
    VERBS
         Each verb is listed with its description and individual arguments.
         list [-plist | device]
                    List disks.  If no argument is given, then all disks and all
                    of their partitions are listed.
                    If -plist is specified, then a property list will be emitted
                    instead of the normal user-readable output.  If a device is
                    specified, then instead of listing all families of whole disks
                    and their partitions, only one such family is listed.  In that
                    case, specifying either the whole disk or any of its slices
                    will work.  The -plist and device arguments may not both be
                    specified at the same time.

  • ST03 Export: How to export all instances and task types?

    I am exporting ST03 data using SAP GUI
    I can export data for a single task type and a single instance.Is there a way I can export the Time Profile data for all instances and all task types in a single export? Can I do a single export rather than NxM exports?
    Also, when I export to a text file, there is a header that reports the instance, data, and task type. When I export to excel file I only get the table, not the header info. Is there a way to to get the header info into the excel export?
    Is this the appropriate forum for these questions?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • How do I create a contact group on iOS 8

    How do I create a contact group on iOS 8, I'm trying to make a new new group for my iphone 6. I've made a group on my older IOS but it's changed on the new IOS 8.

    You cannot create a contact group in the built in Contacts app. If your contacts sync with iCloud you can log in to https://icloud.com and manage contact groups there. Or with a contact app on your computer that syncs with iCloud. Alternatively, there are several iPhone apps that are more powerful than the built in Contacts app. You can use one of them to manage groups and contacts within groups. I use Speed Names, but there are several others.
