How to download the address book from Iphone to the computer

i want to create an address backup in the macbook, but don't how to save the address book from Iphone 4 to the computer.

Syncing of the contacts from the iPhone to the Mac address book is accomplished through iTunes. Once the iPhone is connected, you go to the Info tab in iTunes and select to sync the contacts to the particular application, in your case, Address book. Make sure you have at least one contact in address book you don't have on the iPhone to ensure it gives you the option to merge the two. That is the only way to get the contact onto the computer. Then you can backup the computer.

How do I import address book from time machine backup

My address book was populated on an imac running Lion and I used time machine to back up to an external hard drive.
The imac crashed and I've purchased another one running Mavericks.
How do I import the contents of my address book from the backup on the external drive to the address book on the new imac?
Whenever I try to select or open an earlier version of the address book in the backup applications folder on the external drive, I get a message saying that I can't open the file because it is a time machine backup.
There is also a diagonal line going through the address book thumbnail icon and various other applications in the backup applications folder and I get the same error message informing that these apps are time machine backups.
If you have a solution please be as clear and precise as possible with instructions as I am not a computer boffin.

Here's the situation:
I have a G4 with Tiger OS that has 2 years of saved emails and Address Book entries. I just got a G5, installed brand new drives, and did a fresh install of Leopard. I did not use Migration Assistant during the install, because I have no router.
Then I connected the 2 'puters with firewire, and started the G4 in Target Mode, and attempted to Import my old mail and Address Book. I diddled around and was able to import my old mailboxes. I did just realize, though, that only about half the emails were imported; there's a huge gap of nearly a year up until I stopped using the G4.
Also, when I go to the Address Book and try to import my old one, it shows up not as a solid icon that I can select, but a ghostly icon, for lack of a better word, and it will not let me select it.
I really thought this should be easier and less painful. I'm open to suggestions, including whether I should try to use the Leopard install DVD to try the Migration Assistant with a Firewire connection or an ethernet cable.
Thanks.

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).

How do I stop Address Book from opening with the same searched name?, How I stop Address Book from opening with the same searched name?

Every time I open Address Book (Lion) it opens to the same vcard with the same name in the search field. How do I keep this from happening? I have tried deleting the vcard, deleting the plist, and importing/exporting my contact. However, the search field contents are alwyas the same - even if I delete the field, close, and re-open. Thanks.

Hi Romulus949,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. Then you can set your homepage to anything you like.
Hopefully this helps!

How do I prevent Address Book from importing undesired data from Mail

Hello, this is my first post here
I was wondering how could I stop Mail to complete or change my Address Book info or backwise: stop Address Book to get data from Mail.
The problem is that if I have a contact in Address Book called "mom" and her mail written there, and she emails me, her real name appears in that mail. Then what I had in Address Book ("mom") is overwrited by the mail app. info.
This is like living in **** because for this reason I can´t even sync my iphone with my Address Book because everything is meesed up.
I think that it is logical that what I write in my own Address Book has a higher rank than what people decide to do with their email info. It´s pure logic.
I want mail and address book to respect me!
respect!

How do I mport address book from thunderbird?

my yahoo email was hacked and my address book entries deleted. I have many of these on Thunderbird but do not know how to import directly from Thunderbird. (When I convert the Tbird address to an csv file and then try to import - nothing happens for hours.) Is there a better way - other than a manual typing of all the address entries?
I tried to import the csv file (now an excel file) three different times on two platforms - Windows 7 (64 it) and Windows XP Pro

Open your Gmail account on the webpage, select Contacts in the upper left, click More/Export..., select vCard format, Export, and save the contacts.vcf file.
In TB (or Address Book), Tools/Import...Address Books...vCard file...select the contacts.vcf file. You may have to close and reopen Address Book for the new contacts address book to show its contents.

How do transfer my address book from my PC to my Mac desktop?

I was advised at the Apple shop to save my address book as a business card but this does not work for the whole address book. It only seems to work one address at the time. Am I doing something wrong?

How to restore my address book from Time Machine?

First I know there are other threads with this (Properly) but non of them seemed to be specifically what i needed!
So by accident I deleted all my address contacts on my mac by accedeint. (I was trying to stop my Mac user account picture from changing all the time). I knew I had deleted them but didnt think anything of it. I came to text someone today and half my contacts have gone from my iPhone and my iPad . But i dont know how to get them back on to my address book via time machine.
I have tried the simple going back to where the last backup was and hiting restore, but nothing happens. I can i get them off iCloud if timemachine wont work? or have i truly lost them?

Open Address Book and then go to File > Import and select the most recent Address Book backup from your Time Machine Backup > Users > Your Name > Documents and import that should work.

HT2486 how to move the address book from my iphone to the cloud.

I just erase the info of my address book in my icloud. How can I re create it from my iphone?

If you erased your AB in iCloud, then you also erased it on your iPhone if it was enabled with iCloud. Where did you erase it at? The iCloud.com website? Or, another computer. Not really sure what or how you did it.
If you still have the AB on your iPhone because it wasn't enabled, then if you enable iCloud on it, then the contacts there will be merged into iCloud.

I have an iPad mini and only have about 6 contacts showing, not sure why. I want to have my entire address book on my mini. How can I do that?

Did you sign into your iCloud account on your Mac in System Preferences>iCloud and check Contacts?
When you open Contacts (Address Book) on your Mac and go to View>Groups, are all your contacts listed under "iCloud" rather than something else like "On My Mac"?
Are you signed into your iCloud account on your iPad Mini in Settings>iCloud with Contacts set to On?

Depending on the version of Outlock...
Use Thunderbird on the PC as an intermediary step.
Import contacts to T-Bird.
Export addresses from t-bird to LDIF file
Get that file to your mac, and use the import function of AddressBook.
