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 transfer the whole address book from one no...

Dear friend,
Could you please advise me "how to transfer the whole address book from one nokia to another nokia phone via blue tooth connectivity. (move one by one is not convenience for my hundreds of contact.
Thank and waiting for advice...
victor

If your phones have the built-in "Transfer" (sometimes called "Switch") application, try it.
Otherwise, depending on the model(s) you can also copy all contacts to/from the memory card, and get them over that way.
And you can also synchronize both programs to the same service (e.g., Outlook on a Windows PC using Nokia PC Suite).
And newer versions of Nokia PC Suite can also be used to make a backup of one phone, and then restore to another.
PC Suite you can find here: http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite

How do I export a subdirectory of my address book without exporting the entire address book?

I use sub-directories (contact groups) in my address book for different groups of contacts. I need to move one group to another email client but when using the export function, there does not seem to be any way to select just one group. The export function exports the entire address group without regard to my sub groupings. Is there any way around this?

Thank you for the quick response. Right after I posted my question I tried something I had already tried without success thinking that maybe I hadn't been thorough enough. I selected all the addresses within the list I wanted to export by using my shift key rather than the "select all" feature. I then used the export tool and saved it as a csv file. It worked exactly as needed.

How to import from old address book?

Hi all, I've searched the net about my problem but with no result.
I have an old mac (a G3 iMac running 10.3.9) with a lot of contacts on its Address Book, and I do mean a lot. The computer is completely dead, but I have a copy of the contents of its internal hard disk on a new mac running Lion. My problem is importing the old contacts into the new Address Book. The file formats have changed and the old files can't be imported into the new application, they are not even recognized as addressbook files. Obviously I can't export from the old system since it's not running. The old AddressBook.data file is a terrible junk of names, addresses, telephone numbers and everything else organized in an incomprehensible way (I can't just manually copy the addresses from the file). Does anyone know how to import those contacts into the new format? Otherwise, I'll have to find somebody who owns an old system with an old Address Book application so that I can export the files from there. Thanks a lot

As it's been 3 months, you probably have resolved this by now, but I had a similar problem today and resolved it with help from a tech at the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store.
If you ever backed up your "Library" folder from your old Mac, it contains the "Application Support" folder which in turn contains the "Address Book" folder.
On your new iMac, running Lion:
1)open Finder
2)select "Go" on the menu
3)with the "Go" window open, press and hold down the "Option" key on your keybord. Doing this will expose the hidden "Library" folder.
4) in the Library folder you will find "Application Support"
5) in the "Application Support" folder, you will find the "Address Book" folder
6) assuming you have the old "Address Book" folder from within the backed-up "Library Folder" from you old iMac, delete the "Address Book" folder on your new iMac and copy your old backed-up Address Book folder to the "Application Support" folder in its place.
7) Open the Address Book application and you should see your contact records.
I just finished doing this and it worked for me.
Cheers

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 import metadata from Address Book on external hard drive to new laptop running OSX 10.8.3?

My old MacBook died a painful death. I retrieved the hard drive and have it in a portable enclosure that has a USB connection. I can see the old Address Book on it, but when I transfered the Address Book application to my new MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.3, the application will transfer, but it won't open because it is not supported on the newer MacBook. I searched around the old hard drive for any files that could be related to the Address Book contact data. I found metadata files for each of my contacts. I can get the metadata to transfer to the new MacBook, but I can't seem to do anything with it.
I tried using Migration Assistant, doing it manually, trying to import the metadata using "import" feature on the new version of Address Book. Can't seem to find anything that works.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

If you open a contacts database from an earlier version of OS X, the data should be imported automatically. Is that what you tried to do?

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.

HT4489 how to import contacts from address book on mac?

I'm a new user and was wondering if there was a way to import/transfer/copy my contact details from Address Book to ICloud?

Open Address Book on your Mac, select the All Contacts group (if you have multiple groups), click on a single contact, press Command-A to select All Contacts, go to File>Export>Export vCard and save this file on your desktop. Then import the file you just saved to your contacts on icloud.com as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfba7399f.

How can I delete the entire address Book database?

I have problems with Address Book, the database is "busted" and it will not open anymore, it just freeze. How can I delete it?

Remove this from /Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/

I am trying to export only an individual list from my address book. I can only export the entire address book. No way to decipher it once in Excel either.

I hate to admit how much time I have spent on this issue. I have been trying to separate just the "lists" from within my T-Bird address book, and export them (again, just the names on those individual lists) into a csv or tab delimited file, so I can import it into one of the newer mail programs.
Honestly I have been trying to figure out my way around this for years. "Lists" have always been clunky and difficult to work with. Lots of unpredictablity, and you can only go so long in the list before it will no longer send, and you need to create a new one. I send these out for a business, with some customers going back ten years or more.
Since I have never been able to figure it out, I just keep using T-Bird for this, even though its never worked reliably.
Recently I have been forced into a change. The "lists" will no longer send emails that are received by recipients. Probably some new spam or security things out there. No emails send. Now I have to do something, but to retype hundreds of names from scratch is just not the kind of thing that gives me joy.
I would be eternally grateful to the person who can help...
Paul Kamp, Chicago

This add-on may help:
https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html
I've had this add-on for so long that I can't remember what it does and does not provide.
If you select a List in your Address Book, so that its contents display at the right, does "Export" not write just the Lists's member Contacts out to the csv file?
It does here, but this may be thanks to the above-mentioned add-on.
