Imac entourage to imac address book

How do I transfer my addresses from Entourage to Address Book - I am working on an OX10.4.11 Thank you!

Since neither are Apple products, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered

Data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts do not match.

The data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts are different. How can I get my iCloud data to accruately reflect that of my iMac address book? It appears to be an initial synchronization issue. New entries synchronize fine. Appears that initial entries in my Address Book are not showing up in the iCloud Contacts list. Hense, My iPhone coantacts don't match those in my iMac.
Is there a way to clean out my iCloud contacts on reload/re-sychronize it with my iMac Address Book?

Nuts isn't it. This seems to have been an issue snce dAY 1. iT FROSTS ME THAT THERE IS NO SIMPLE QUICK WAY TO UPDATE OR CORRECT the data in both programs simultaneously.. Thats why i decided to just put everytning into the i cloud address brook, and let the one other sit and rot.
then i got smart and said, why don't I delete the outlookaddress book files. and save on confusion.
result - both addresses books and their contents became invisible to outlook.!!!!!! and I can find no way to correct this...to go back to the imperfect world that was.
I did get the outlook contact s back from an archive - but any thing from icloud has become inaccessible from outlook. (fortunately i can get the vcard infformation directly from icloud. but I can't access it from outlook mail.... means no replying, forwarding etc - and a time swallowing nuisance..

Contacts per iMac address book: 1,301 iCloud: 1,486 iPhone 4s: 1,508 iPhone 4: 1,489 How can I make them all the same?

My address book has been an intense problem for me for a while (i.e. even pre-iPhone 4s/iCloud). Before I upgraded, my iPhone 4 had thousands of duplicate contacts. The address book was up to ~7,500 even though what was then Mobile Me had somewhere in the 1,000 to 1,500 range for contacts. So after I upgraded, I attempted to fix it by doing the following:
I connected my iPhone 4S to the iMac (after I set it up with the latest iPhone 4 backup), went to the iTunes info tab for my device and unchecked syncing for any address book contacts, calendars, email accounts. And then I synced it. This didn't work. I believe my contacts were still at ~7,500.
So next I tried checking just the Sync Address Book Contacts option on the info tab which then allowed me to check contacts under the Advanced/Replace Information on this iPhone section at the bottom of the info tab. This made my iPhone contact list further balloon up to 13,000 + contacts.
So the next thing I did (still in the info tab) was to select Selected Groups under the "Sync Address Book Contacts" section of the info tab. I believe I still had the option to replace the info on my iPhone selected. I then selected one of my contact groups that had no contacts in it. Why would I create a contact group with no contacts in it? I didn't. I created some smart groups and prior to my iPhone 4s upgrade I noticed the smart groups contact lists I spent some time setting up were not populated with anything. Same with some of the non-smart group contact lists I had created.
After telling it to only sync that empty group and to replace the contents on my iPhone I ended up with 1,508 contacts. Why I didn't end up with either zero or the same number as in iCloud is beyond me. This at least seems closer to my true number of contacts but as mentioned in my subject above the number of contacts differ between all three places (iPhone 4s, iCloud and iMac address book). I also noticed that my wife is no longer in my iPhone 4S or in iCloud as a contact but she is listed in the iMac contacts which has fewer contacts than the other two places.
So I believe that in all three locations, there are situations where the address book includes contacts not in the other two locations, and vice versa (excludes contacts that are in the other locations). Can somebody help me understand how I can truly sync my contacts so that they are identical in all locations? This has been a huge problem for me since the Mobile Me roll out and sadly continues to persist now that I've migrated to iCloud.
Blah, I am so fed up with this persistent issue.

I assume you never got a solution. My own painful story is here:

I've given up on Lion/iCloud. I'll try Mountain Lion.

How is it different, does it contain duplicates, is it not syncing, please provide more information.

Can't find how to get iPad Contacts into new iMac Address Book

I've got a brand new iMac and if I look in the import feature of Address Book it wants to import from a file on my iMac but there's no iPad listed there even though it's plugged in. iTunes only seems to sync first time from iMac to iPad but all my contact details are on the iPad. Surely there is there some way to migrate my iPad Contacts to my iMac address book isn't there?

Data to and from your iPad is managed via iTunes. With your iPad connected to your iMac, open iTunes and then select the Info Pane. There you can choose to sync data. I would advise that you first right click on the name of your iPad in the iTunes Devices list and choose BackUp. Just in case anything goes funky!
From the iPad 2 manual:
Info Pane
The Info pane lets you configure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and web browser.
• Contacts
You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Microsoft Outlook Express), Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one application at a time.)
If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve set up syncing.

Unable to sync iMac address book with iPad. Can you please help?

Unable to sync iMac address book with iPad. Can you please help?

I have the same problem as Sheilaza but haven't been able to solve it using the advice offered. The same problem applies to my Calendars. When I look at my iPad settings in iTunes, it says:
Sync Contacts
Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud.
Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPad.
and the same for Calendars.
On the iPad, in iCloud settings, I have checked 'Contacts' and 'Calendars' as 'ON' but the Calendar remains blank and the Contacts are a very old version that was somehow created when I set up the iPad initially.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

ICloud Address Book iMac Address Book?

Why does my iCloud Address Book have 80 contacts while my iMac Address Book has 182? There's no obvious pattern in the dropped entries. Seems like iCloud just dropped a random bunch of cards.
Any ideas?

Sometimes it's just the simple things. Went into System Preferences > iCloud, unchecked contacts, re-checked contacts. My iMac, my Air, & my iCloud now have the same contacts again.
Thanks for the reminder. : )
Take care.

How do I move my IMac Address Book to my IPad?

I have two related questions.
First, how do I move/sync my IMac Address Book (Mac OSX -- 10.6.8/Snow Leopard) to my IPad?
Second, once that is accomplished, will the contacts and distribution lists be usable in sending email messages from my IPad?
Thanks.
Dan

I know nothing about the iPad, but the question comes down to:
a) what can the iPad mail application or address book import?
b) which of the answers to (a) can Thunderbird generate?
Thunderbird can generate LDIF and CSV files, and with a suitable add-on, vCard files. How would you physically load these into the iPad, even if they were compatible? Is wifi or bluetooth a viable transfer medium between the two devices?
Can the iPad synchronize with any external contacts system, such as Google Contacts?
This [https://support.apple.com/kb/PH11586 article] suggests that some Apple products can work with CSV, LDIF and vCard data.
I suspect that the most likely approach that will work is to send vCards as email attachments from Thunderbird, and to open and accept the vCards on the iPad.
You will need this add-on:

to generate vCards in Thunderbird.

My iMac address book is different from the iCloud address book. Why

My iCloud address book and the addresses on my iPhones and iPads and a second are different from the address book on my iMac. My computer seems complete, the others are missing addresses which appear in my iMac addresses. How can I get the iCloud addresses to synch with my iMac address book?

First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Why doesn't BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronize my BlackBerry contacts with my iMac Address Book

Hi there, please help! I am trying to sync my BlackBerry contacts with my iMac Address Book. I used BlackBerry Desktop Software and did a two-way sync, but my Address Book is still empty. The images on my BlackBerry copied to iPhoto, so the sync 'worked' here but not for the contacts. Thanks!

Hello AdalaMichelle and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
What OSX version does your Mac have? What's your BlackBerry Desktop Software version?
When you set up your Mac, did you enable iCloud for your Mac Address Book?
Is your Mac or your BlackBerry Address Book blank?
Did you enable wireless contact sync on your BlacKBerry when you added an email account?
Thanks!

Can I upload one contact from my iMac address book to my iphone from iCloud?

Can I upload one(1) contact from my iMac address book using icloud to my iphone without having to upload the whole address book??

No, it would upload (sync) your entire address book. If you want to get a single contact to your phone from Address Book you can select it, then go to File>Export>Export vCard and save it to your desktop. Then email the saved vCard (.vcf file) to yourself, open the email on your phone and tap the attachment to import the contact to your phone.

Can I merge my iPhone address book with my iMac address book? I do not want to replace one for the other, just combine.

Can I merge my iPhone address book with my iMac address book? I do not want to replace one for the other, just combine them.
It seems that you have to choose one or the other, keep iMAcc addresses or iPhone.

Indeed you can merge the address book using iCloud. You can find the info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998. I am not sure if you can de-duplicate though.
If that doesn't work or you want more out of your address book, you can always try connex.io (I work for the company). It's a service that automatically syncs, deduplicates, cleans and updates your address book across many different devices and services. If you want to try it out, you can get a free trail version at www.connex.io.
Good luck!

Vcards being read by Entourage instead of Address Book

Even though my default e-mail reader is Mail, when I click on a vcard in mail it opens entourage and imports the card into entourage instead of Address Book. Anyone know the way I make Address Book the default reader of vcards?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
This is just a wild guess, but could it be anything as simple as opening a Finder "Get Info" window on a vcard file, setting "Open with" to Address Book, and clicking on "Change All"?

Moving from Entourage to Mail/Address Book

Hi, I am currently using Entourage 2004 where I have my Mac account and two other email accounts syncing. I was interested in using Apple Mail, Address Book and iCal instead. Is there a way to export my email history within all of the folders and subfolders to Mail from Entourage? Likewise, can I bring in the contacts list and calendar in Entourage to the Address Book and iCal?
Thanks.

BDAqua, I have one IMAP and two POP accounts. So as you may know, Entourage splits the two different eMail configs into two separate folder trees. Will Mail, bring in bother folder systems?

Problem with Entourage to ICal & Address Book sync

I have recently has a problem with syncing information logged in Entourage's calendar & address book across to iCal & Address book, which then in turn syncs with my iPhone.
For some reason the information is not now being sync'd across to iCal & Address book. I have checked that I have set the preferences correctly both in Entourage & Mac sync preferences but still it doesn't transfer the info.
Can anyone help?
Simon

Since the issue with is with Entourage, and it's not an Apple product you should consider posting your question on Microsoft's own forums as they would be geared more toward your issue than an Apple forum:
