HT2486 How do I export a mailbox to address book from Mail

How do I export a mailbox to address book from mail?

Unless you are willing to continually do an export of one contacts database and import of the other, switching back and forth, you'll either need to use some third-party contacts application or maintain two separate user accounts in Mac OS X. The built-in Address Book/Contacts application does not allow multiple address books.

  • How can I sync the address book from Mail to my Address book?

    Ok, I open a new message and click on the Address Book icon in the new message to find my contacts on the address book, I choose the group I am looking for and the group has people on it that I have already deleted from my address book! How can I sync the address book from Mail to my Address book?

    It is using the same database on disk. You may have to re-launch Mail.

  • How to restore contact info, etc, in Address Book from a backup drive?

    I accidentally deleted the entries (names, contact info, etc) in Address Book. My hard drive is fully backed up on another drive.
    How do I replace the deleted contacts from my backup file? Or, how do I replace the current Address Book with the undamaged one on my backup drive?
    Thanks.
    Ed in Dallas

    What kind of backup? If it's a TM backup then open Address Book and select Address Book Help from the Help menu. Search for "restore from time machine." You'll find an article on how to restore entries from a TM backup.
    If this is simply a cloned backup then navigate to the /Home/Library/Application Support/ folder on the backup drive and copy the AddressBook folder to the same location on your hard drive.
    Then navigate to /Home/Library/Preferences/ and copy the com.apple.addressbook.plist and com.apple.addressbook.abd.plist files from the backup to the same location on your hard drive.
    Address Book must not be running.

  • How do I transfer my emails and address book from Outlook Express 6....

    ...on my PC to Mail on my new IMac?
    Thanks in advance,

    Inigo,
    Many thanks for this. This was very useful and a good starting point. I'm a very recently converted and proud new owner of one of the 20", 2GHz Intel Core Duo Imacs, and am in the process of converting all of my important files and data over from my home PC to my Mac.
    So far all has gone well; sorting out my ITunes and Digital Photos was easy as pie, as was my documents, however my last hurdle to overcome is trying to transfer my emails from MS Outlook on my Home PC to my Mac Mail. I have tried your Thunderbird suggestion which seems to have me on the right track, but the outcome was that only 1 of the 130 emails in my Outlook Inbox were imported. I've also tried using installing Eudora on my Home PC and importing all my Outlook email to that, however each time I try that Eudora ends up crashing leaving me back at square one.
    I will keep searching this discussion forum for other ideas, but in the meantime if you have any other helpful suggestion I'd be grateful!
    Cheers,
    Matt (aka: Mac&Me)

  • How do I import my email and address book from Netscape mail 7.1?

    I've been using Netscape Mail 7.1 since it first came out, but I'm moving to the Apple Mac world and need to keep my old emails. I've been told by the Apple Genius Bar people that I could do this with Thunderbird.

    In the absence of anything to the contrary I will assume a US version http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/3.1.20/win32/en-US/
    Thunderbird 3.1 is linked. stable and has the necessary bits.

  • How do you transfer ical data and address book from a mac back up to an ipad?

    I have a HD back-up from my mom's dead imac g5.
    I am sending her an iPad, and would LOVE to have here Address Book and iCal data so she has that all set up.

    If you want to transfer a large amount of files, the best way would be to use an external drive. If you do not have one, consider the option of using Target Disk mode, so you just have to get a Thunderbolt cable; this is the fastest option.
    To use Target Disk mode, connect the Thunderbolt to the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro. Then, start up your MacBook Pro and hold the T key while it is starting up until you see the Thunderbolt icon in the display. Now, go to the MacBook Air, open a Finder window and you will see the MacBook Pro hard drive in the sidebar, so access to them and transfer the files you want to.

  • How can i transfer my ical and address book from macbook/iphone to my new imac?

    Hi, to all!
    I have just bought a used imac, i have used home sharing to get my itunes from my macbook.
    I want to know if there is a way to transfer my ical and address book from my macbook onto new/used imac?
    Also is there a way of transfer my bookmacks bar?
    Please can someone help.
    Thanks

    You can move your iTunes music Library folder to external media from the G5 to the Mavericks machine and point a modern version of iTunes at it.
    I don't know what you'll have to do with your Contacts, however.

  • How on earth do I restore my old Address Book from Time Machine?

    Problem: I really, really need to retrieve someone's number. I know it'll be in an old version of my Address Book. I can see when I open time Machine that my address book is backed up, but no matter the date I go to, it says the Address Book was last modified in 2012! I know for a fact I've updated (and backed up) the Address Book many times since then.
    Whenever I try to restore the Address Book, I do Time Machine > Applications > Address Book > 'restore'. But whenever I do this, the mac refuses to open the restored Address Book because it's 'required by mac OS X'.
    I don't understand.
    Please, how on earth do I dredge my Address Book from the depths of Time Machine?
    Please help!
    M

    Look at Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    There are separate sections for iphoto and itunes.
    It has to be so complicated because Apple made TM to do too much and be too many things to too many people.. a horse designed by a committee. It has become flakey in later editions.
    If you still have the iMac you can move the files directly from the source.. you don't need to use TM backups at all.

  • How do I force smart mailbox to only show me mail from one mailbox while also showing multiple senders?

    How do I force smart mailbox to only show me mail from one mailbox while also showing multiple senders?

    It would help to post what you've tried. It does, indeed, appear that -h is the switch, and the man includes several examples, so if you've followed the examples and it's not working then that hints that you should pass it back to Apple.
    You also don't say how you're implementing your change. Are you invoking slapd manually, or are you editing /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.openldap.slapd.plist ?
    You should be doing the latter, and I'd expect to see something like this:
    <array>
      <string>/usr/libexec/slapd</string>
      <string>-d</string>
      <string>0</string>
      <string>-h</string>
      <string>ldap://x.x.x.20/ ldap://127.0.0.1/ ldapi://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fldapi</string>
    </array>
    (note the inclusion of ldap://127.0.0.1/ as an entry - you'll need to run on localhost as well the .20 address since all the local services will look to localhost)
    You might also need an ldaps URL if you're using SSL but let's walk before we try to run

  • How can I export pictures NOT on camera roll from my ipad to my iMac?

    How can I export pictures NOT on camera roll from my ipad to my iMac?

    Hello jcamengual,
    I was having the same problem you're having - for those that don't understand... I synced photos on to my ipad which placed them inside "photos" not cameral roll. I then sold me laptop as I thought I had no need for it. When I bought my new iMac I tried to use my external hard drive which had my back up on, however my hard drive no longer works. Thus unable to retreive my photos on to my iMac!
    Anyway... long of the short of it is theres no easy way. But there are a few ways. I'm currently using icloud's photo stream. As long as you have photo stream set up on your mac you can create a shared stream on the ipad with a friend. This shared stream will appear on your mac, you can then "import photos" straight from the shared stream.
    Alternativley you could use something like drop box. Sync your pictures from iPad to drop box. Then download from drop box to Mac. As I said, no easy way that I have found but this does work. It just takes a long time.
    Key Facts:
    You can have 5000 photos inside a sharred stream
    You can have 100 sharred streams
    Therefore you can stream 500,000 photos - I hope you don't have that many.

  • How do I transfer an address book from one computer to another?

    I'm trying to transfer an address book from my G4 to my Imac G5 and can't seem to figure out how to do it. I've tried exporting out of one, but the other doesn't read it. These computers are not connected so I'm transferring via cd.
    Thanks,
    Dick Skover

    Hi Dick
    If they are both running Tiger
    Use "Backup Address Book" in Address Book > File to make a copy then
    "Revert to Address Book Backup" on the iMac
    I use this for backing up both Address Book and iCal as a matter of course (it is the Apple recommended way in the Help files) I put them into a folder in my "Documents" and clear old copies once a month. If you use .Mac I would certainly recommend it seeing the problems with data loss some folks have had.
