How to move Address Book from iBook to MacBook

I used migrate to transfer everything from my iBook (OSX.2.8) to new MacBook. Mail is working but missing all of my old addresses in Mail. How do I transfer them to my new MacBook?

Open Address Book: File: Back-up Address Book. Move backup to new computer. Open Address Book on new computer. File: Revert to back-up (select the backup you just moved over).
Hope this helps!

How to export address book from ibook g4 to iMac Intel?

Hi, can anyone advise what I need to do to export the contacts in the address book of an ibook g4 running OS 10.4.11 to a new iMac 3.2 GHz Intel iCore 3 running OS 10.6.7? Thank you for your help.

Hi - on the iBook launch Address Book, click on one of your contacts and then click Command+A to select all contacts. In the Address Book File menu select Export>vCards and save them to disk. If the two Macs are on the same network just copy them across to the iMac, launch Address Book on the iMac and go to File>Import and import the vCards file you copied over. If the Macs aren't on a network copy the vCards file across on a USB stick or email them to yourself.

HT5772 how can i delete books from ibooks on iMac

how can i delete books from ibooks on imac?

That doesn't work. It only allows you to delete your local copy but keeps the book in your library. The instructions on Apple's site are also incorrect. They suggest going to iTunes and selecting Books from the Library menu, but there is no Books option under that menu in the current version.
Anyone at Apple listening?

How To Move Address Book Contacts From An Earlier Mac To An IMac?

I am having zero luck trying to move the multitude of contacts from address books on a G4 (won't open at all with my new IMac) and an Intel MacBook Pro (will open on the PB Pro but I can't copy it or its contracts to disk) to my new IMac with Snow Leopard. Can it be done? Can these records be exported and brought to my IMac for importing? If so, how, preferably in bulk?
I am going to try to put my Address Book from my G4 back on a G4 (where it will open) and see if I can export any files in bulk, to put on a CD and copy to my IMac for the next step, whatever it may be.
Anybody have any suggestions how to export and move these records in bulk??? Thanks!

Greetings Gina,
If there are no pre-existing contacts in the Addressbook on the computers you are moving your original addressbook to, then you can use the File > Export > Addressbook Archive feature. This will create a self contained copy of all your Addressbook contents. Take this file (Email it, thumb drive it, burn it to a CD, put it on your iDisk, File Share it, etc. etc. etc) to whatever computer you want the addressbook on and simply double-click. It will overwrite (erase) the current Addressbook contents and put your original addressbook in it's place. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/5.0/en/9158.html
If you DO have addressbook contacts on the other computers that you do not wish to erase then highlight all the contacts in the original addressbook and choose File > Export > vCard. This will make a group vCard of all the contacts. Then take that to the new computers and double-click. This will add all the contacts in. Keep in mind if you already have some of these contacts in your addressbook you will need to get rid of them by going to Card > Look for duplicates and either deleting them or merging them. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/5.0/en/9160.html
You could also sync the Addressbooks across all the computers using MobileMe if you are a MobileMe member. However I think the export / import options I mention above would be quicker and cleaner if this is your first time moving the information over. http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/ (click on the sync section)
Hope that helps.

How to get address book from Mac desktop to a MacBook Pro

I recently bought a MacBook Pro 13" with Lion. I have a IMac desktop and want to put my address book from it to the MacBook Pro and don't know how to do it. Can someone help me with this? I also need to move my word documents. I have Microsoft Word for Mac 2004, Version 11.6.3 on the desktop. Is it possible to move over also?

Office 2004 wont work on Lion 10.7. You should upgrade. From your iMac:
User/Library/Application Support. Copy the AddressBook folder to the desktop of your new MBP. On the MBP:
From the Finder. Hold down the option key and click on Go from the menu and select Library. That'll open the User/Library folder. Open the Application Support folder and put your AddressBook folder there. Moving documents: Connect the two with firewire cables. The iMac should be shut down. Boot the iMac while holding down the 't' key. That'll boot it into target disk mode and you should see the iMac's hard drive on the MBP's desktop. Copy the files over.

How to transfer Address Book from old iMac to new MacBook Pro?

I will soon be getting a MacBook Pro 15" Intel Core i5 with Snow Leopard and want to transfer my Address Book from my old 2003 iMac flat 15" panel running 10.4.11. What is the best way to do that? Is there a particular file or folder that I can copy onto a flash drive to transfer to the new computer? Or can I use my Mobile Me Backup that is on my external drive (or on CD) to do it even though the Backup on the new computer would be a newer version from the older Backup that has the data? I would like to avoid having to use the Migration Assistant if I can, since it looks like that is designed to transfer whole categories of files (like all "files and folders", etc.), which I don't want to do. Thanks in advance for the help.

When I bought my new MacBook Pro, the sales person showed me how to do the V-card method that you suggested. I tried it at home, and it worked. I have been worrying for years about the best way to do this, so was very relieved to find such a simple method. David Pogue in the Tiger Missing Manual also mentioned another tip which I used: he said to select all the address entries you want to transfer (in my case it was all of them) and then just drag the whole lot out onto the desktop. A V-card icon appeared that said: "Name of Person plus 344 others". I then copied that to a flash drive and then onto the new computer desktop. I then dragged it into the Address Book window. As you said it was done in a matter of seconds. Thank you so much!

How to Transfer Address Book from Razor to Iphone

I have a new Iphone and I want to copy by address book from my Motorola Razer to my new phone. I looked at the Motorola site but I also have a Mac computer so I can't follow the directions. Please help.....

Make a new contact group in Address Book that will be the place where you store the contacts from the RAZR
Use iSync to retrieve the contacts from the RAZR over bluetooth, and put the phone contacts into the new contact group you just made
Then, when syncing the iphone, activate that group in iTunes to sync contacts to the iPhone
viola! no typing, no nothing way to move the contacts.
Of course, I am assuming that you have bluetooth on your mac.

How to sync address book from OS 10.7 to 10.6

Is there any way to sync my address book from 10.7 to 10.6 ? Is there a work-around?

I actually found the solution on another page. If I go into iTunes while my iPhone is plugged in, I just needed to click on the "Info" tab of iPhones in iTunes and then click on "Sync Address Book Contacts," since it wasn't checked after the upgrade. Simple solution when you know what the answer is.

Look in your archived user folder. You can just move the yourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder to the same location on your new system.

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!
