How to export an Address Book group to Windows 7 Outlook 2010?

Hello.
I have recently installed Windows 7 (64-bit) on VMware Fusion 3.1.3 to my Mac Pro (OS X 10.6.8).
I have a 30-day trial of Outlook 2010 and I'm trying to get my Mac's address book contacts over to to Outlook in an Outlook-digestible form.
Unfortunately, none of the solutions that I've tried (e.g., converting to an Excel spreadsheet or using a 2003 program called ABE) work.
Do any of you have a solution that will definitely work so that all of my contacts will go into Outlook and populate the correct fields on the first go-round?
Thanks for your help.

Well, I figured out a way to do it.
I used "Automator" and created a workflow to take all the contacts in one of my groups and batch convert them to .vcf files.  THen save them to a folder on my desktop.
I then launched WIndows 7 (via VMware Fusion) and dragged the folder with the .VCF files to the Windows desktop.
Launched MS Outlook.
Selected "Contacts."
Opened the .VCF folder.
Selected all of the .vcf files in the folder.
Dragged the files into Outlooks contacts window. And I was done.
Try it and see how it works for you.

  • 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 to export from Address Book to Microsoft Outlook

    I am using a mail merge program that requires cvs or test files of address cards in order to operated. I can't figure out how to export from Address Book in any other format than Vcard. Does anybody know how to either export in text or covert Vcard files to text or CVS?

    Try Address Book Exporter.

  • How can I copy the contents of an address book group

    Does anyone know how I can copy the entire contents of an Address Book group and paste the results into an e-mail to send to others? When I select the group and then the "copy" tool, it copies only the first address in the group. If I select "select all", it selects all e-mail addresses everywhere, not just the ones in the intended group.

    He did not want to add them all to his address book; he simply wanted to have my long list of staff email addresses without having to type it or create it himself, like this: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. We used to use an email application called Eudora which allowed you to copy and paste group lists as though they were just text characters. With Mail (and Address Book), everything is connected to everything else and a group list is actually a set of flagged contacts from your "All Contacts" list.

    This is really a question better asked to Yahoo support but...
    Go to the Addresses tab of Yahoo and click on the 'Import/Export' link
    Click the Export Now button for vCard Single File, then when it downloads double click it to import into AddressBook.

  • How to turn mailing lists into address book groups

    I'm looking for better ways to manage groups in the address book.
    I especially need a way add recipients on distribution list for a particular piece of email to a particular group. I have a bunch of implicit groups I've created that way in gmail and I'd like create explicit address book groups out of my (informal) email distribution lists. Mail.app does a good job of downloading the mails via imap or pop, but now I want to select a message and say "Add everyone who received this mail to my alumni [or whatever] group in the address book."
    I'm also looking for other ideas, tips, scripts for managing groups in my address book.

    OK, how about you open your csv file in Excel and put a tag identifying the custom label in front of each of the items (so eg 05991444555 with label special becomes sp-05991444555), then do your import. Then after the import run an AppleScript to strip the tag and reset the label.

  • How do i export my address book to an online email service

    i'm trying to export my address book to my optimum online web mail account. but i can't seem to find the actual email files if that makes any sense.

    Greetings,
    If you wish to export your address book the easiest way is to select all the addresses you wish to share, and then select Export VCard from the menu. That will create a file wherever you tell it to. That is, if your online system can import VCards.

  • ISync syncs to wrong Address Book group

    When I sync my phone (Nokia 3230) with my MacBook, I designate the Address Book group titled "Contacts in 3230" to be synced. But contacts that I've added to the phone (my usual way of adding new contacts) are transferred to my "All" contacts in Address Book, but NOT to the designated group. To correct this, I have to manually try to remember what contacts were added to the phone, and then copy them from "All" into the "Contacts in 3230" group.
    How can I make iSync sync to the designated group?
    Many thanks for your advice.

    I have the same problem with a Nokia 6230. Really annoying as i sync has now cluttered up my mac address book with phone contacts that i wanted in a specific group called 'nokia back up' Also I tried putting a test item in this folder and this did not download onto the phone. I don't want my phone filled with all of my contacts and i don't want my mac filled with all the temporary contacts that end up in a phone on a Friday night. All i want is to back up my phone to my mac in case i loose it. should be simple enough!

  • How to bring in Address book to a New User I created on Mac

    I had to create a new userid on my mac and I have an address book on the old userid. How can I bring in the new address book into the new user?
    On the old user I exported the address book to the User\shared directory. Then I logged into the new user and tried to import. It doesn't import.
    Both accounts are Admin. When I look at the address folder in User\shared, it has the red circle on the bottom of the folder. I can't bring it in. HELP

    When I tried to bring in the file, a message says "Reverting will cause your current database to be overwritten".
    When I click Replace All, nothing happens, my entries are not imported. I am not sure what to do next.

  • Address book groups not updated in iSync and iTunes-iPod-info sync

    Changes to address book groups are not reflected in iSync and iTunes. I.e. if I remove a group or add a group it is still the old list of groups that is listed in iSync and iTunes available for syncing with my phone or iPod. How do I get these list to be updated and reflect the present list in Address Book?

    The suggested resolution essentially said "delete the address book and start over."
    Ok, I can see how this will help but... a few questions:
    1. How to I re-load the address book with my 500+ contacts without loosing my groups and all the data? The suggestion in the other discussion doesn't give any guidance on this
    2. What caused the problem to begin with? In other words, how can I prevent it from happening again?
    I discovered the syncing problem about the time I did the following three things:
    1. Upgraded to 10.5.2
    2. Upgraded my iPhone (and iTunes) to 1.1.4
    3. Installed Bento (possibly a red herring) -- but it DOES connect to address book

  • How do I make Address Book default for vCards

    I use Apple Address Book (6.0) and have the Lion O/S 10.7.1on my 2 Macs.  My Apple Address book syncs with my Gmail (Google Apps) contacts. Recently when I opened a vCard, Outlook for the Mac attempted to open the vCard.  I cancelled this as I no longer us Outlook for the Mac, but have only used Apple Mail and Address Book for several months.  As I cancelled the opening process, there was a brief message, "Rebuilding database".  About 30 minutes later I realized that all contacts in my Apple Address Book were missing. I quickly looked at my Gmail contacts and saw that the only contact was the one for the vCard I imported.  After recovering from a panic attack (I have over 2,000 names in my contact list), I went to my Macbook Air laptop, which was asleep during this time, and was able to export my Address Book to my iMac. The Macbook Air Address Book had synced with Google Apps the day before.
    After the recovery, everything seems in order except when I check for duplicates in Google Apps Mail Contacts, I find that I now have 2,000 duplicate contacts.  When I check for duplicates in Apple Mail I am told there are 83 duplicates.
    I am still not sure what caused this to happen and I am still considering how to prevent this in the future, and how to resolve the duplicate contacts issue.  I need to understate which contact list dominates - Apple or Gmail?
    But my first step is to make Address Book the default for vCards.  How to I do this.  Next I will work on the duplicate problem.

    I don't have or use Outlook 2011 but based on my past experience wth Outlook and Entourage it uses its own contacts by default and can't be configured to use an external resource. However, you might learn more on the Outlook support forums since this forum is primarily for Apple products.

  • How-to retrieve the address book of a Leopard CCC backup?

    Hi,
    I have installed SnowLeopard and before doing so, I did a CarbonCopyCloner backup of Leopard. I forgot to export my address book of Leopard and now I want all my contacts back in the SnowLeopard address book. How can I do? What are the files I have to copy from my CCC backup to my new install to make them appear?
    Thank you.

    My issue is that I did not want all the garbages that I had before in my account.
    So, I just kept thefew interesting stuff, and that is it. Then I worked a little bit, and now that I want my contacts back, I cannot use this migration assistant anymore since it does not allow you to do a precise selection of what you want to import.
    I have tested to copy all the adressbook dire tory as suggested, but it does not work.
    Any other ideas ? or do you know how I can import all my Gmail contacts into this address book ?
    Thank you

  • 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).
