HT4489 iCloud Contact Book will not import 4,000 vCards

iCloud Contact Book will not import from Palm data base of 4,000 vCards when asked to "Import vCards"showing "fault" (1.56MB)... suggestions?

You might want to try importing these in smaller batches, such as 500-1000 at a time. It's also possible that the the particuar vCard format you are using is not compatible with iCloud. If that's the case, you may need to import them to another services such as Google contacts, then export them from there in a more compatible vCard format.

Why does Lion KEEP reversing changes you make in address book and other applications without your consent and without wanting it to??? Plus address book will NOT import old address book contacts from Snow Lepoard 10.6 and keep them. This Lion OXS 7 is .. becoming very frustrating ... it will NOT keep changes made in the Address Book and it has destroyed my contacts which I only have electronically since 10.4 in my address book. I am NOT happy with this OS7 it has a lot of issues and faults. How can one stop automatic reversing of data when inputting???
Please help!
Wished I NEVER upgraded to this Lion!!!

Relax. Your address book database is corrupted.
If you are syncing your Contacts with MobileMe or something else, disable it for now.
Backup your address book by going to File>Export>Address Book Archive.
Quit Address Book.
Open your Library by holding down the Option (alt) key while selecting the Go menu in Finder. Select Library. Navigate into your Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the addressbook-v22.abcddb file.
Open Address Book. It will recreate the database from the raw data.
See how that works. If it is ok, then reenable syncing and see how that works.

Contacts book will not accept my Mail password

My contacts book will not accept my Mail passwords. I've deleted the prefs without it solving the problem. First I keep getting a pop-up that says it can't connect to my account and to put in the password. I do, over and over until I get an alert saying it's a CoreDaverror1. I don't know what to do. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

Just so we're clear this is an iMAC issue not an ipad or iphone issue.
This all began when I received a message. My Mail account was set up as a POP account. When I opened a message from a cllient my screen "blipped" and suddenly I'm taken to my Mail preferences and my pop accounts were changed to IMAP accounts!! I saved my messages, deleted both accounts and used the Mail wizard. To my surprise I was not given the chance to choose a POP account again. All it did was automatically choose IMAP, I had no manual ability to change it.
After this, my contacts address book continually asks for my passwords and won't connect to whatever server it's trying to connect to.
Please note that I'm not a techie beyond a certain point.
I called Apple but they wouldn't answer my question unless I paid them $85! I called the Apple Store where I purchased my iMAC and I may have to bring it in for repair.
Believe me, I tried everything to get my Mail accounts back to POP. Even reinstalled my complete system. Didn't do a thing. And the system won't let me delete Mail and reinstall it, as it's part of the system.

My contacts book will not open so I reset to factory settings but I still have the same problem what can I try next?

The address book on my iPad2 will not open although it did before I downloaded iCloud. Following the manual instructions, I reset the iPad to network settings but the address book will still not open. I would be grateful for any advice on what to do next.

Have you an iCloud email address? Try deleting it temporarily.

Address Book will not import my .csv

i am switching over from windows to mac and trying to setup my ABook. i have both .csv and .txt files of my contacts.
if i choose my .csv the file import says "The file you selected does not appear to be a valid comma separated values (csv) file nor a valid tab delimited file, please choose another file."
if i choose the .txt file, it appears to allow me to import and i can choose the various headings and such to import, however nothing actually happens.
also, when i choose my .txt file it opens into excel and then says it cannot be properly saved into the format i want.

HT4489 iCloud contacts - how do you import from exel

If I want to import vcards from an exel spreadsheet, does it need to be formatted in a particular way? Where can I get help on this?

1 - Select the thumbnail of one of the problem photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option. This will take you to the folder containing the original file with that file selected by the Finder.
You can also use Find Any File to search for that file (get the file name from the Info pane in iPhoto). You will find the thumbnail version and maybe an edited version also. Made sure what is found is the large, original version and note were it's located. Search all of your drives with FAF just in case.
If you don't fine the full sized version then the only recourse is to use a file recovery application like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage on your drives to see if any of your full sized photos can be recovered. If you find enough files to make the purchase of the software worthwhile buy it and recover the files. However, since it may have been quite a while since you discovered the missing originals it seems unlikely you'll be able to recover any due to being overwritten.
2 - book projects are just entries in the library databases and can't be exported to another library.

My address book will not synch with iCloud or iPhone 4

Since upgrading to lion, my address book will not synch with icloud or my iphone 4. Any idea what I should do?

I can't figure out what's going on. Been working on this all day. Yes, all the preferences are checked off and I've triple checked everything. The truth is, after many experiments, I think the problem has to do with how address book is communicating with my contact list. I use quickbooks 2012 for mac. It has all of my customers and vendors synched with my address book on my mac. If I add a customer in quickbooks it shows up in address book on my mac. But it doesn't show up in Icloud or on my Iphone. If I manually add a customer to my Iphone it synchs fine with Icloud and my address book. It seems that the only time devices can't communicate is when I add a contact in quickbooks. No matter what I do, I can't get the new contact from quickbooks to icloud or my iphone. It looks like those programs/devices completely ignore the new contact in address book that was created in quickbooks. I realize you probably can't help me here but if you have any ideas let me know.

I'm trying to downgrade my icloud storage; however, my MAC book will not upgrade pass 10.6.8 and I don't have my iphone anymore. If there another way for me to do this?

I'm trying to downgrade my icloud storage; however, my MAC book will not upgrade pass 10.6.8 and I don't have my iphone anymore. If there another way for me to do this? I've tried everything I can find online and of course my coverage has expired and can't call the support team.

Hello Lara,
have you already called Apple and explained your current situation, because I don't see a way to downgrade your storage plan with a Mac only running Snow Leopard and without a iOS device running at least iOS 5.
Best regards.

Address Book Contact Photos will not sync over to iPhone 2G

So here is the deal. I just bought a new 21.5" iMac w/ Snow Leopard. I had a iMac G5 with Leopard previously and rather than using migration assistant, i just copied over the applicable folders and files (per my research) so that my contacts would be present on the new computer. Everything seems fine except the contact photos will not sync over to my iPhone. Has anyone run across this? Help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers

any body?

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry,
Yes, the error message is exactly like that ("Database error: failured to persist version")
No photos will import at all. I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2.
About the difference? iPhoto and Photos . Are there two softwares?
I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto. It's call iPhoto library. At one point I turned off streaming.
Thanks again Larry HN.

Address book will not sync with outlook

I have a bb curve 8530. My desktop PC runs windows 7 and Outlook. The address book will not sync with outlook. The calendar function, however, will sync with outlook. The error messages are:
"Runtime error: unable to locate application in system table. The product may not be installed properly; run the installer and choose repair."
Or, "Intellisyncy error encountered 0x8004fff."
or, "unable to complete synchronization."
I have pulled out the battery of the 8530 to try a hard reset. I have reloaded on my PC the latest software from the BB website. I have reset and configured synchronization settings multiple times in every possible order. I have deleted from my outlook contacts any large files. I do not know what the installer the error message refers to.
Thanks, David

you cant reset your PIN, it is hardcoded into the BB
where is your PIN missing?
when it syncs the calendar, does it look like it syncs but nothing actually happens, no errors?
or does it crash with an error?
on your BB go to options- advanced options- default services
make sure facebook is not set for CICAL

The iCloud Control Panel will not intall on my WIN 7 32-bit PC

the iCloud Control Panel will not install on my WIN 7 32-bit PC. I receive the error message,
"There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program run as part of the install did not finish as expected. Contact your local support personnel or package vendor."
When the panel finished being "backed off" my PC, I also received the following message,
"iCloud for Windows Installer Error.
The installer encountered errors before iCloud for Windows could be configured.
Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
Click FINISH to exit the installer."
Each time I tried to download and install the Control Panel, these messages would appear.
The Genius Bar was unable to help me and referred me to the ICloud Support Line. They were unable to help me.
I refuse to believe that Apple is unable to solve this issue with their own software, but if there is anyone in this august community that can help me, I would be forever grateful,
Thank you.

I'm having the exact same problem, and the exact same error messages. I have windows 8.1 64-bit. I've tried looking for solutions everywhere. I'm very frustrated.
