How to move contacts from Mail(mac) to Gmail?

Hi everyone, i have a problem. I had an account on "Mail" and all my contacts were saved there. Now, i have a new account on Gmail... and i want to move my contacts from Mail to my new one on Gmail... but the problem is that they seem to be saved just in the Mail program NOT THE ADRESS BOOK, so how can i export the ones save there to my new Gmail??... i can't find a way. Hope u can help me.

Not sure exactly what would work, since I've always used web mail
and never an email client application or ISP email accounts. So, I
have gmail and a few other free web-based accounts, only.
Google offers some kind of method that may (or not) work, as noted
in their help pages online. One I found in a fast google search by topic
suggests a semi-automated approach (not sure I'd use it) here:
Switching to Gmail:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=switchguide.html&switch=1
Aynda de Google: http://www.google.com/support/?hl=es
A gmail help search result with promising result links: (in english)
Note the gmail help forum results, in example:
http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Help-POP-and-IMAP-en/browse_thread/thread/7 f93de83b3f7b557
Import contacts from Apple Mail:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/search.py?ctx=en%3Asearchbox&query=Importcontacts+from+Apple+Mail&temp_query=Import+contacts+from+AppleMail
There are some complicated-sounding processes described in some of these.
I know if you reply to any of your Gmail inbox items, your list of contacts will
include these persons from the get-go, usually.
Good luck, in any event, and happy computing!

How can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud account.

Hi All,
I have setup icloud in my Iphone 6 running 8.1.2. and it is logged in by enabling Contacts in icloud settings. My contact list contains 1718 Contacts. I manually backed up my data into icloud including my contacts without Passbook & Documents data. But when i logged into iCloud.com to see the contacts it is not there.
I also find when i checked only the Icloud contacts "there are no contacts showing in my contact list". I think this is the reason why there is no contacts in icloud web too. Then how can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud.

I assume you're using GMail as your primary e-mail account? Try this. This is how I am setup. Not only will it move all your contacts to your phone but any changes made in GMail or on the iPhone will be sync'd with the server.

Note... I think this will delete your existing contacts from your device. You will want to use iTunes to back them up and get them imported into GMail before you sync your device wtih GMail.

How to move photoshop from old mac to new mac?

how to move photoshop from old mac book air to new mac book pro retina display (no disc drive)?

It can be possible to use the Migration Assistant, but you must take into account that any recent Photoshop requires activation with a server account, like Apple iTunes does for purchases. To avoid potential problems, you want to make sure that you deactivate any software (like iTunes or Photoshop) that you have installed from any company that requires activation, and then reactivate them after you migrate. Otherwise it is possible that any software you activated might stop working if it notices that the underlying hardware has changed.
Also, you only get 2 activations of Photoshop and 5 of iTunes, so you don't want to lose any because you forgot to deactivate before getting rid of the old Mac.
Migration Assitant is not perfect, so the most reliable way to migrate is to deactivate Photoshop before migrating and then run a clean installation of it after migration using your original media and serial number.

How to move contacts from iphone to mac's Address book WITHOUT DELETING?

I want to move contacts from my iPhone to the address book in the computer. I'm scared about it deleting contacts in my iPhone instead as I've heard horror stories. Syncing is so freaking confusing???

So far playing around with it back and forth. My understanding is the following;
1. Add on iPhone / Sync / Adds to Address Book
2. Delete on iPhone / Sync / Deletes from Address Book
3. Add in Addres Book / Sync / Does not add to iphone (with no regards to Advanced option in iTunes)
4. Delete in Address Book / Sync / Deletes on iPhone (with no regards to Advanced option in iTunes)

How to move contacts from one account to another

I have 2 exchange accounts configured in my iPhone, one Corp exchange account and one personal exchange account, both have Contacts sync enabled.
I noticed somehow all of new created Contacts are under Corp account, these Contacts do not show up on my iPad / Mac which only have personal account.
How can I move the selected Contacts from Corp account to personal account?
How can I choose which account to use when I create a new Contact?
Thanks

I can answer your second question but I share your problem related to the first question.
In answer to your second question:
To make sure that new contacts go into the desired account:
1.     Go to Settings
2.     Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
3.     Scroll down to "Contacts"
4.     Select the last item in the group, "Default Account"
5.     A list of the accounts on your iPad will appear. Select the account that you want to use for your new contacts.
If you solve the problem of moving existing contacts from one account to another, I'd love to hear about it.

How to move contacts from my Memory card into Cona...

When I connect N73 to my PC via the Nokia PC Suite the Contacts folder as diplayed on the PC shows the same content as the folder with my contacts on my memory card. Yet when I use the phone the Contacts icon displays only the contacts from the SIM card and there seems no way how to make it see the contacts on the Memory card.
I have tried everything I could think of but no joy. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I believe you will need to do this manually for a small number of contacts.
If you have a large amount of contacts, you could export your contacts to a USB stick on your Mac, set up a second user account on a friends Mac running Lion and log into iCloud via system prefs > iCloud,, import the contact from the USB on your friends mac and sync them.

Get your contacts from your Blackberry onto your computer into a program such as Outlook. Then, use iTunes to sync those Contacts from Outlook to your iPhone.

How to move app from old mac to new

I just got myself new mac,but thinking how easy i can move my applications only without redownloading and installing from diffrent places i got them..also it will take me alot of time...anyway to move those apps with there registration key from the old mac?
I wish to move only the apps and the setting i have made to them before....

When you set up the new Mac, it will offer the opportunity to migrate all your old data from the other one.
Lots of people skip that step, but you can run it any time. Find the program called "Migration Assistant".
It is in the Utilities folder and contains instructions on how to connect the two. All your registration keys etc. will be copied.
Beware that Power PC apps will not run with Lion. This is important. If you don't know the implications of that then write back.
Migration Assistant might take a while to complete - several hours is not unusual.

How to move apps from old mac to new mac?

Hi, probably a question you all heard before...
But how can I move my apps from my old mac to my new mac?
Thanks

Hi Dirrek, welcome to Discussions!
See this KB article about Target Disk Mode:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8443.html
Although if it was me, I'd rather reinstall them from on my new Mac.
Depends on which software it is: for example some old versions are not supported anymore on Snow Leopard.

How to move programs from one mac to another

Hi guys, I was wondering if I can move all my programs on my iMac (adobe cs5, aperture, final cut studio, etc) to a macbook pro using time machine or migration assistant. I bought my iMac used and do not have have the serial numbers for adobe cs5 and final cut pro. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appriecated.
Thanks

Yes, you can do that. However, some commercial programs know they have been moved to a different machine and will require that you re-enter the license key. It may be better to try cloning one machine to the other.
Just connect them by Firewire cable. Boot the computer you want to copy TO into Target Disk Mode. Boot the one you will copy FROM normally. The computer in TDM will show up on the Desktop as just another hard drive.
Now use Disk Utility to clone them:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the TO computer. Source means the FROM computer.

Move contacts from Palm Desktop to Cell??

I've got a non-responsive Centro which I've taken to Verizon for trouble-shooting. In the meantime, I plan to use an old LG for a couple of days. Does anyone know how to move contacts from Palm Desktop to the LG?

Unfortunately since it's two different operating systems you will not be able to transfer your contacts to your Lg device. However, it might be possible to do an address book transfer in the store from your Palm to your Lg.
HTH,

How can i move contacts from outlook on my pc to my new mac?

how can i move contacts from outlook on my pc to my new mac?

In Outlook export the contacts as vCard files and then it just a matter of opening Address book and either importing them or you can drag them into the app.
It's a pretty simple process.

How do I move contacts from my old candybar Nokia to my iPhone?

How do I move contacts from my old candybar Nokia to my iPhone? - now that I can't import using the old SIM card.

Perhaps the fastest and simplest way would be to just take both devices to the nearest AT&T corp. store and get them to do it. Then you can sync the iPhone with Contacts on your Mac (or outlook on your PC) or with iCloud to back them up for safekeeping.

HT2486 I can't find how to import contacts from my mail and can't find a contact button in my mail. when I click on the word contact in the left upper corner like they told me a little box comes up with copyright info but doesn't give me any info.

Another question would be if the address book on Macbookair is like a central address book for all emails.

Hey Janice268,
Thanks for the question. I understand you wish to add a contact from Mail. The following article outlines how to do so:
Mail (Mavericks): Add information to Contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14928
In an address field of a message you’re sending or a message you received, move the pointer over an address, click the arrow that appears, then choose Add to Contacts.
In a message you received, move the pointer over a phone number, email address, or street address anywhere in the text. Mail outlines the information; click the arrow and choose an option from the pop-up menu. For example, add the data to an existing contact.
Thanks,
Matt M.
