How to import old Contacts Card Data files into 10.8.5 Contacts app

My old Snow Leopard Macbook died but its hard drive lived.
I was able to find the Address Book contacts but they are in a format that the new Contacts app doesn't recognize.
Its kind is "Contacts Card Data" and each file ends with ".abcdp".
How can I import these files into the new Contacts app? Contacts does not seem to want them. Do I need to convert them to v.card?
Thanks.

I've had no exposure to 10.8 or even 10.7, but the following should work, with 'AddressBook' replaced by 'Contacts'. (It's copied from https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1436528. It worked for me in 10.6.8.)
Quit Address Book.
Make a copy of folder ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook in case anything goes wrong.
Delete AddressBook-v22.abcddb from ~/Library/Application Support/.
Put your abcdp files in folder ~/Library/Application Support/MetaData.
Restart Address Book.

How to import old iPhone SMS.CSV file into new iPhone?

Hey everyone,
So I've spent a couple days on this as I just upgraded to the iPhone5S from my 4S. Long story short, my backup restore didn't work after multiple tries (gave me the file is corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone error).
I tried:
-reinstalling itunes
-updating itunes
-combining the 5S backup with the old 4S backup
-tinyumbrella
and a few of other things as I've forgot now.
The most important things I needed was the contact list and SMS history. I've got the contact list from extracting is successfully from the iTunes backup folder and using iCloud, but cannot figure out how to import the SMS.CSV file into my iPhone5S.
Any suggestions on how I can get my SMS messages from my iPhone4s into my 5S?
If anyone has any other suggestions on getting my Backup Restore to work that would be awesome too!
Thanks!

A word on SMS text messages. It is pracitcally impossible to import an SMS text-messages file to a new iPhone and have the Messages app on the new device read the messages.
You can transfer, however contacts and other individual data (such as calendars and notes) from one iphone to the next. I had my old Nokia which whose contacts I exported to a CSV file. I then imported the file to my iphone which converted the file into multiple contacts in the Contacts app on the iphone. You can use a contact management app such as this one in order to import the contact file to the new iPhone.

How to import old Session Manager data

I just upgraded to Firefox 35.0 and had to reinstall Session Manager. Now Session Manager doesn't show any of the old saved sessions. I've found the file containing these old sessions, but can't figure out how to import that file so that I can use it with the new versions of Firefox and Session Manager.

#Go to your profile folder:

#Exit Firefox.
#Look for sessions folder, enter in it and put here that file with old sessions.
#Restart Firefox and try load the session.

How to import the .exp/XPDL/XSDL file into ALBPM Studio 5.7

Hi,
Can somebody tell how to import the .exp file that are developed in ALBPM Studio 6.0/Oracle BPM 10g r3 into ALBPM 5.7. I have tried but can not able to import the project as the file suported by ALBPM 5.7 is <.fpr.exp>. I have also tried to import the XPDL/XSDL file developed in 6.0 to 5.7 but can not able to do so. It is importing the file but the only the automatic activities are showing in workspace (All the other activities like Interactive, Grab etc are not displayed). The code inside that automatic activities are also not there.
How to import the file/files in ALBPM 5.7
Regards,
Bibhu

Hi Bibhu,
I expect importing a project to an older version of BPM isn't going to work or be supported.
Most products are built to be backwards compatabile, not forwards compatible.
I recommend you go to one version of the product anyway - trying to maintain two adds to your maintenance and support overheads.
In which case migrating your processes from 5.7 to 6.0 (or even 10g) would be supportable and the best way to go.
Rgrds,

How to import large library of .wav files into itunes with tags?

I have an external NAS drive where I imported approximately 400 CDs in .wav format utilizing itunes many years ago. My itunes library was recently corrupted requiring a reinstall of itunes. The .wav files are preserved and are filed by Artist folders containing Album subfolders which contain the tracks listed by number and name. The problem is when I reimport the files into itunes the artist and album name is lost leaving only the track name, which makes it impossible to organize a library of music.
I would like to batch process and import the .wav files on my NAS drive into itunes in either a high-quality mp3 or AAC format with the songs tagged correctly to allow for an organized and searchable library. I would rather not have to reburn all of the CDs since that required substantial time and effort.
I welcome any solution to this problem.

itunes can't do what you want. It will do exactly what you said, lose everything, because wav files don't have ID3 tags. And, I suspect it dumps it all into an "Unknown Album" subfolder under "Unknown Artist".
You can try the tagFromFileName script on this page, brought to you by an apple discussion forum regular turingtest2. I have not used it myself, but have seen posts from several people happy with the results!

How to import image, html and other files into your siteroot

Hi!
I teach basic web development at a highschool. They've been
using GoLive before I came along and they all stuggle to adapt and
understand why DW doesn't support a simple "add" or "import" files
within the program.
And frankly neither do I. For most user new to DW the
intuitive way to add files to the root folder is to:
-Right click the siteroot window (files tab) > add files
-File menu > add/import files
All of these could easily make a duplicate html, png, rar or
whatever file and put it into the site root without leaving the
application. Just a simple adjustment to make life easier for all
DW rookies.
Dont you agree?
Well, until anything changes, the fast way to control your
siteroot folder is still outside DW and in your files/folders of
your OS, right? Or drag and drop files into the site root also
works great.

> and they all stuggle to adapt and understand why DW

It doesn't need it. Just copy the files into the root folder
and DW will
see them.
> Dont you agree?
No.
> the fast way to control your siteroot folder is

right?
Yes - but you can do it all inside DW too. Note that at the
very top of
your site list in the Files panel you have access to
everything on your hard
drive.... You can copy and paste from that.

How to import a BPEL project zip file into jdeveloper?

This worked for me before, but I seem to be doing something wrong this time.
I tried the File -> Import ->BPEL process option and navigated to the location of the .bpel file (after I extracted the .zip file contents). But this didn't seem to work as the entire project wasn't imported.

You'll probably have better luck posting this in the BPEL forum

[Multisim]How to import data files into Multisim?

Hi guys,
In Multisim, we can plot various kinds of graphs, which again can be export to data files like *.csv. I have a csv file, which contains data in X and Y axes. How can I import this data file into Multisim, and make it displayed in a graph?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The Piecewise linear source (PWL) accepts data as voltage or current vs. time. You can find this part by selecting Place>>Component, go to the "Sources" group then select "Signal voltage sources". Place this part on the work area, double-click on it and there should be an option to open a .txt file.

I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data is not.) but

I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data does not.)

HI Dave,
I'm surprised you get no message when you attempt opening the Excel document in Numbers.
I'm assuming Numbers 3.1, since you are running Mavericks.
Does the Numbers file that opens show any content?
Does it contain a table?
How large?
Does it contain more than one tab (indicating more than one sheet)?
Do those other tabs contain a table?
Have you checked those tables for data content?
There have been cases in the past of imported documents opening with white text on a white background, giving the appearance of containing nothing. Check for this by selecting a block of cells, then applying a Fill colour or a Text colour using the Format button (paintbrush).
I'd also suggest attempting to open the Excel files using LibreOffice, which can be downloaded from the linked website.
Regards,
Barry

Geting an error trying to import a data file into OWB repository

Hi,
We're using OWB 11.1.0.7.0
I'm trying to import a new data file and I'm getting an error.
When I go to The Project/Files/ I right click on the module I want to add the files to,
I get a 'Wizard' titled 'Welcome to the Import Metadata Wizard'.
I click next.
I get the 'Filter Information' screen that asks if I want to select 'All Data Files' or a specific file.
I pick 'All Data Files' and click 'next'.
I get the 'Object Selection' screen that has a left and right panel. The left side is titled 'Available' and the right side is titled Selected.
The 'Available' panel had the directory in Linux (/etl/datafeeds/dev) where our data files are stored with a plus sign next to it.
When I click the plus sign, I get an error message that says:
API2836: Directory
/etl/datafeeds/dev does not exist.Has anyone seen this? What is the work around? Is it a bug? How do I import a data file into OWB if this isn't the way to do it?
Thanks,

Hi, is there any obligation to use import wizard?
can you use right click and import view/table?

How do I export v-card formatted files for use with either Numbers or Excel?

How do I export v-card formatted files for use with either Numbers or Excel?

Did you open Automator and just look around?
Actions are listed in the left pane.
You drag them into the workflow on the right in the order you need to process the items that you want.
If this is a on-off requirement, just make a Workflow. If you plan to use it often, make it an Application.
If you want to select the contacts you want to export, use a get Selected action. You'd then select the contacts in Contacts App before running the workflow.
I'm not on a Mac to take screenshots, so you'll have to look at Automator's help or google for more info.

How to batch or individual import Canvas .CVX and .CNV files into AI CS6(mac)?

Is anyone aware how to batch or individually import Canvas .CVX and .CNV files into AI CS6(mac)? I have a large old graphics library representing 10 years of work which would be very nice to convert into Illustrator CS6...
Thanks a lot for any hint -
stefan

It's not a matter of exporting a file that Windows will recognize; it's a matter of exporting a file format that Illustrator can import or open.
A Mac OS version of Canvas is under development, by the way.

My bad. Typo on my part. I meant one that Adobe will recognize.
Too early yet. I shouldn't try to type before I get my first morning tea.
