How to import Tiger Address book data into Leopard?

How do I import the Address book data I had in Tiger, into Leopard. I backed up all my applications and the Application Support folder before I upgraded to Leopard but I can't find a way of importing the old data into the new program. I tried just copying the contents of the Address Book subfolder of Application Support but the new Leopard folder has completely different files in it....??
Thanks

Like all user preferences they are in /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.
Here's some additional info:
Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (* This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ copy any preferences needed for third-party applications
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft

  • How to import Windows address book (.wab) into e71...

    How do I import email address from my Windows Mail (or Outlook Express) into my Nokia e71?
    I can save the addresses as .csv or .wab file, but what next?
    Please note I am not trying to build my phone contact book. I already have all names and phone numbers in there. I need to import email addres from my PC email client (Windows Mail) into my Nokia email client (either the one inbuilt into e71 or the new email messaging that I downloaded from email.nokia.com).
    Thanks.

    Me too (but 5800).
    What's really annoying me is that I managed it when I got the phone but have since had to reset the phone, lost all contacts and now can't get them back.

  • How do I Export Address Book data?

    Is there anyway to insert Address Book data into other (non-Apple) applications, e.g. Word?
    I want to send out some letters and I would like each letter to have the recipiants address at the top of the letter. Even if I could export the data to Excel first would be OK but I only seem to be able to export vCards from Address Book and Excel (nor Word) can read them?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Yink,
    you can use some third-party applications to export Address Book data as plain text files (e.g., csv) which you should then be able to import without any problems in Excel and the like.
    Some options are:
    • Export Addresses from Mail Scripts

    • Address Book Exporter

  • How can I access Address Book data from an older version of the application to transfer it to a newer version of Mac OS running on a second hard drive on the same MDD G4?

    I installed a hard drive from one PowerPC Dual 1.25 GHz MDD into another one with an older version of the OS X.  all my Address Book data are on the older hard drive, from which I now boot the computer.  When I launch Address Book as an app on the hard drive with the newer version of the OS, I get an error message that says I cannot run the version of Address Book from the older hard drive on the newer OS.  How can I access the data on the older hard drive version of the Address Book app so that I can transfer it to the newer version of the app on the boot drive?  The "Import" functionality will not work. I will be grateful for any help I can get.  I would also like to uninstall the older version of OS X from the older hard drive.

    Boot from the older version of OSX, then in AB use the File>Export>Export vCard after selecting all in AB.
    Then boot from the new OSx & use the new AB to import that VCF file.

  • Importing Tiger Address Book Archives

    FYI. When Importing Address Book archives from Tiger the address book application does not always show the newly imported addresses.
    So do the following:
    - Imported the address book
    - Replace all contents
    - Quit Address Book app
    - Relaunch Address Book and check addresses are there.
    I use the Archive facility to switch between Personal and Business addresses books.

    I see this happen sometimes too - restarting is sometimes necessary to refresh the contact list.

  • Import Leopard address book data into Tiger

    Is there any way to do this?

    The Leopard address book database is not readable on Tiger. You can export vCards and import them in another version of the application as long as the formats are compatible. This won't preserve group memberships though.

  • How to Import Outlook Address Book into Mac Address Book?

    I will be making an employment change and need to import my pc Outlook addresses into my mac email addresses. After repeated emails to Apple and apple support phone calles no one can help because I am not going from a mac to a mac. Unbelieveable. Actually it's not-the lack of customer services these days should not surprise me.
    Anyway, anyone know how to do to save me having to re-type hundreds of addresses?
    Thanx!
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    You need to export your Outlook contacts into a VCard format.
    There are many programs out there that will do this for bulk jobs. But, you can do it for free if you are willing to do it manually.
    Select each contact one at a time from Outlook. Then, go up to the menus (I think it's the file menu) and choose export, then choose to export it as a VCard.
    I'm not in front of a PC. But, I remember doing it that way for about 80 something cards when I moved from my PC.
    Once you have them in a VCard format, you can just drag and drop them into Apple's Address Book.
    It takes some time to do it this way if you have a ton of contacts. But, it does work.
    I think the PC format might be VCF but it is VCard.
    Apple uses a different format of VCard than Microsoft does. So, you won't be able to use Microsoft's Export to export all the cards at one time.
    That method will not allow you to import them into Apple's address book since they are different formats.
    But, it will work if you export each individual record one at a time, and then drag each one into Apple's Address Book.
    Additionally, if you find a web-mail service like GMail or Yahoo, or something like that that can synchronize with both the PC and the Mac, then you could try moving it to one of those services and then to Apple's address book.
    For an automated system, check out:

    You can also read Apple's document on the subject here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad808.html
    Hope this helps.

  • How to import outlook address book to apple

    How to import OUtlook 2010 address book to OS Mavericks?

    I'm really struggling here - nothing is working...When I import my CSV file, I get the dialog box Text File Import. My contacts show up - 1 of 1745 is indicated in the bottom. I then map the correct fields to my CSV file. I then click OK, and nothing happens. The only way to close this dialog box is to click Cancel.
    I also tried ABFiller and this does not work. I followed the instructions, and after selecting my PST file, and click Begin to import contacts, nothing happens.
    Any other thoughts out there?
    Thanks!!

  • How to sync my Address Book data on my iPhone to my Address Book in my Mac and viceversa

    Hi guys -- When I was using mobileme, any change I made on the Address Book of my iPhone would sync automatically to mobileme and to the Address Book of my desktop iMac, it was hassle-free.
    Now that iCloud has replaced mobileme, how can I do the same?
    I've already updated my iPhone 3GS to the latest iOS 5 and my iMac is running 10.6.8.
    Do I HAVE to upgrade to Lion?? I don't want to.
    Best!

    You do have to upgrade to Lion to enable you mac to sync with iCloud, as it is built into OS X in System Preferences (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html).  Once you do this you can enable syncing with Address Book, iCal, etc.

  • How to move old address book (XP) into new computer (8.1) as the existing default address book.

    I have exported the address book in LDIF format and have also found the abook.mab file in my old XP computer. My new W8.1 address book is totally empty. I don't know where to find the Profile folder on W8.1 and when I import the LDIF it creates a new address book folder which I don't want. I just want everything in the default address book.

    Open the newly created address book. Click on one contact to select it. Hit control+a to select them all. Drag and drop them on the personal Address Book folder to move them there.

  • How to add an address book field into a Numbers spreadsheet?

    In Pages, I can add an address book field so I can drag & drop a contact from my address book into the actual document without having to type out the address, city, state, zip etc.
    Is this possible in Numbers? I use spreadsheets to create invoices and I really miss the drag and drop features that I have gotten used to in Pages.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello,
    It seems that all the same Functions are available for calculations in a table within Pages as in Numbers. Perhaps you could keep working in Pages and do your invoice calculations there.
    Highlight the table cell into which you want to place a calculation and select Insert - Function from the Command Menu.

  • 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
