How to import names and addresses from address book into a letter

I am a new Apple user and fairly frustrated by the lack of help and who to contact for support. I would like to know how I can use the address book to write a letter or export the information to Word to writ a simple letter. Is this possible ?

There is a Help function available for each application and since you are a new Apple user, I strongly suggest that you use this for learning purposes especially for the Apple applications you use most often. An answer to every possible question is not included but this is a good place to start to help you with the learning curve involved with switching from Windows.
You discovered these Discussions which is probably your best avenue for overall support. There is a wealth of knowledge here with Apple provided knowledge base articles and a large number of very knowledgeable folks who volunteer their time to help fellow users with problems/issues and to answer various questions such as yours. I've learned much here and continue to learn new things on a regular basis.
Regarding contacting Apple support directly (they won't help you with problems associated with 3rd party applications such as Word even though Apple includes an Office 2004 Test Drive on all Macs but if you have a technical support issue with Apple hardware or Software, you contact AppleCare with free telephone support for 90 days from date of purchase. If you have a warranty related issue after the 90 days of free telephone support has expired, AppleCare will request upfront payment for the support but if the reported problem does turn out to be a covered warranty issue, the upfront money paid will be credited in full.

How to import the entire address book into icloud?

Does anyone know how to import the address book in its' entirety into iCloud?
Thanks.

Or you can select all your contacts in Address Book, click File/Export/Export vCard. Save the file to your desktop. Open Contacts at iCloud.com then click the Gear icon in the lower left corner to reveal the Import vCard option.
It will get your contacts to iCloud and syncing with an iOS device however obviously any changes will not automatically sync between iCloud and the computer.

Importing Mac's Address Book into Print Sho

Can't figure how to import Mac's Address Book into PrintShop's Address Book?
Thanks

Netscape's Address Book window does not have that option. The Export option is under the Tools menu, but does not give you any options in the Tools menu. Once you select Export, the Export Address Book window opens. This window does have a format option where you can select either LDIF, Comma Separated or Tab Delimited. But it doesn't matter which of those I select, Apple's Address Book and Mail applications are not available for selection.

How to move Mail and Address book content from 10.3 emac to 10.5 iMac

How do I move Mail and Address book content from my old 10.3 emac to my new 10.5 Leopard iMac directly, or do I have to move the names etc, one by one?
Richard

I cannot find a migration assistant. I have copied the Mail and Address Book applications over from 10.3 to 10.5 and tried using mailboxes import, but 10.5 Mail will not accept any of the options. The same for address book. Can you give more specific instructions?
The applications, Mail and Address Book, don't actually store your data in the application. So, moving the applications over to your new computer will have no useful effect and could be detrimental if you replaced the newer versions with the old.
Migration Assistant is in you Utilities folder and should have asked to be run during the installation.
Your Mail data is stored in yourUserName/Library/Mail. The Address Book data is stored in yourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook. If your new installation is blank with no data, you can actually replace those directories on the 10.5 version with the old. For Mail, you also have to get the com.apple.mail.plist file from your old username/Library/Preferences/ folder and put it in the new 10.5 folder of the same name. Once that is done, when you open Mail and Address Book, they will update the data to the new format.
Migration Assistant will do all of this for you.
EDIT: Based on roam's comments, you may have to move the Mail manually. You can also just bring the Mail directory over to the 10.5 machine and use Mail's Import command to get all the mail out of the old Mail directory.

How to restore iCal and Address Book from my iPod mini.

I used to back-up my iCal and Address Book to both my Nokia phone and my iPod mini twice a day. then over Christmas my laptop hard drive and my phone both broke within 2 days of each other. Ouch! My only copy of my addresses and diary are now on the iPod. I could spend days reading the data and type it into to computer manually, but there has to be a way to do it automatically. *Mustn't there?*

How to import my AOL address book to Thunderbird

I have just loaded Thunderbird and Firefox and would like to import my address book from AOL

Access your account from the AOL webmail page, click Contacts in the left pane, then click Tools/Export, select LDIF format, save the contacts.ldif file.
In TB, Tools/Import...Address Books... Text file... select the contacts.ldif file, and a "contacts" address book will be added to the TB Address Book.
If you run the import from Address Book/Tools/Import, the imported address book will appear empty, but not after you close and re-open Address Book.

How to import photos and videos from Android device?

Hello
I just bought Photoshop Elements 11 recently and I'm trying to import photos and videos from my phone, Samsung Galaxy SIII, but having a little trouble.
When I go to "Import from Camera or Card Reader" option and choose my phone from the "Get photos from" drop down menu in "Source" section the "Photo downloader" finds
every single photo and/or video stored on the device and it's memory card but I'm trying to import only photos and/or videos I've shot my self with the phone, witch is kept
in an folder named DCIM, but I simply can't figure out how to so my question is:
How do I import photos and/or videos from my Android device?

Try clicking Advanced button (bottom left) in the downloader dialog. You should then be able to select and deselect thumbnails and import only the ones you give the checkmark.

Importing Netscape's address book into Apple's Address Book application

I want to import my email Netscape email address book into Apple's Address Book application. So I open the Address Book application and select import from the pull down menu. That brings up three choices, vCards, LDIF and Text. I previously had saved my Netscape address book as a pdf file. So I selected, Text. A window appeared from which I was to select where I wanted to get the file from. I made selections until I got to where my pdf file was and selected it. But I got the following error message.
The file you selected does not appear to be a valid comma separated values (csv) file nor a valid tab delimited file, please choose another file.
So I tried again and this time I selected LDIF, but when the file in my Netscape Users Profile that would appear to be my address book came up, it was “greyed out” and I could not select it. The file had the name “abook.mab”. It is not an LDIF file. There are no LDIF files in my profile.
So I tried selecting vCards, but I got the exact same results as above. The file that looks like it is my address book, is grayed out and cannot be selected.
So I went into Netscape to see if I could export my address book into Apple’s Address Book. I chose export from the Netscape menu and a window opened asking me to select where I wanted to export the file to. But when I got to Apple’s Address Book application, it was greyed out and could not be selected. The same thing happened when I tried to select Apple’s Mail program.
I have about three hundred email addresses in my Netscape address book. If these addresses have to be manually entered into Apple's Address Book, I will not make the switch to Apple's Mail program.

Netscape's Address Book window does not have that option. The Export option is under the Tools menu, but does not give you any options in the Tools menu. Once you select Export, the Export Address Book window opens. This window does have a format option where you can select either LDIF, Comma Separated or Tab Delimited. But it doesn't matter which of those I select, Apple's Address Book and Mail applications are not available for selection.

How to get calendars and notes from my iPhone into iCloud?

Hello all,
yesterday I got a new MacBook Pro Retina at work. This upgrade me to OSX 10.8 from 10.6, so I planned to use iCloud to sync my iPhone 5 and my Mac this way. So far I synced the devices manually via iTunes.
However, so far I only got Contacts to sync with iCloud correctly. Calendars and notes just don't do it, although their sync is turned on on the iPhone as well as on the Mac.
All my attempts to get it to work obviously destroyed the possibility to sync calendars via iTunes - after a sync there is just nothing showing up in Calendar. This is really bad as now I can only access my calendars via the iPhone.
Since my iPhone now contains the most recent calendar and note data the question is even more simple: how can I get these data from my iPhone into iClous so they will also sync with my Mac (and from then on on all devices)?
It doesn't work by just turning calendar sync on on the iPhone. When I do this, I now see two calendar groups "From my Mac" and "From iCloud". Great, but what I want is to replace "From iCloud" with "From my Mac".
I have already reset iCloud, but this didn't help either.
I'm close to desperation, so any hints are very much appreciated!
Thanks and best wishes,
Thomas.

Solved - it was a general sync problem. Today I was not even able anymore to sync my calendars via iTunes. Problem and solution see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5505069.
Best,
Thomas.

Prior to put them to iTunes, you have to convert the video in compatible format.
Best for that is Handbrake --> http://handbrake.fr/

How do I transfer and address book from a samsung a920 to my blackberry curve?

I got the bluetooth to pair up and it gives me the option to transfer my address book...and it even says it does transfer it....but nothing got moved over....anyone have a clue?

Can you sync that phone with Outlook? If so, do that and then plug in the BB and transfer the Outlook Addresses to the BB....also, I know that the Y ahoo 3.0 program will sync the addresses, so use that with the samsung, load it onto the BB and transfer that way.

How to restore mail and address book?

I recently had to reformat my hard drive and I had backed up my entire home directory. I would like to either restore everything in these two programs, or consolidate the data with that on another computer. Where do I find the files? I assumed it would be in Library somewhere, but I can't find them, what are they called, and how do I get the data back into the programs?

You will find the Mail data in /Home/Library/Mail/. Address Book and iCal data are in /Home/Library/Applications Support/. The preference files are in /Home/Library/Preferences/ and will begin with "com.apple.".
Copy the appropriate files and folders to their corresponding locations on your computer.
