Import contacts by VCF file?

Trying to import my huge amount of PalmOS contacts into my Peak, there seems to be no way of opening/importing a .vcf file into FFOS "contacts". Could this be accomplished by any other way? If not, is it a difficult coding effort to enable "contacts" to read (composed) .vcf files?
You know, nobody wants to enlist on facebook just to transfer their contacts to FFOS...

there's an app in the marketplace to directly import contacts from vcard files: https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/vcardin

Export and import the windows phone contacts as .vcf file to the application

Hi, I need to export the windows phone contacts as .vcf file and import it to my windows phone application. I'm unable to import the full details of a contact. Is there any sample code to export and import phone contacts programmatically. Please
help if there is any solution. Thanks.

Found this on the internet:
http://www.lumisoft.ee/lswww/download/downloads/Net/
If you download the Lumisoft.Net.Zip and extract it looks like there is a vCard folder with some classes that may help you.
You will need to use something like that or search a bit more and find a vCard C# Helper library.

HT4489 Unable to import a single .vcf file of one contact that is only 2KB. Why is it invalid?

Exporting a .vcf file from Outlook, I'm unable to import a single contact into iCloud as it says it is invalid. The file is only 2KB. I only have a few contacts in iCloud. What needs to be tweaked? Thanks.

Which version of vCard are you exporting from Outlook.

Error when importing contacts as VCF to iCloud

see details in thread 4399468 (written in German, sorry)
I started with an empty iCloud. I had a file with 250 contacts, format is VCF 3.0. I imported the file, no error message.
Result: 15 contacts shown in iCloud, 250 contacts pushed to IOS. The 15 contacts shown in iCloud are those with a birthday in it.
I created a dummy contact without birthday, exported it to VCF, and imported it to iCloud: no error message, contact is pushed to IOS but not shown in iCloud.
I load the dummy-VCF-file in notepad, put a birthday at the right position, saved it, and imported it to iCloud: contact is pushed and shown.
On iPad, I took one of the 235 non-birthday-contacts and changed it (put a blank behind the name): contact is synced and shown in iCloud, even there is no birthday in it!
Beyond that: when I feed the 250-contacts-VCF to WindowsAddressBook, 248 are imported (with or without birthday) and 2 are not (duplicated name).
Obviously this is an error in the iCloud import module. I'm looking for a way to cause iCloud to show those non-birthday-accounts, but without
a) writing a dummy birthday in each VCF record and
b) writing a blank in each contact on IOS
Any ideas?

There is about 2TB of free space on the drive with the destination library.
And how much free disk space is on your System drive?
If repairing the libraries does not help, check your system for software, that might be leaking memory, probably incompatible plug-ins or older applications, preference panes, drivers that need updating,
If you find evidence of a precess leaking memory, ask in the Mavericks forum.
See this post by Linc Davis for how to check for memory leaks:

How to import contacts in vcf

I have just inherited an iPhone 4 and I want to import contacts from a vcf type file from my previous mobile. Can anyone help with some ideas?

From your profile, it appears as if you have a Mac.
Your Mac's Contacts app knows how to import vcf files. I suggest importing the contacts to your Mac's contacts application. You can store these contacts in an iCloud account so your Mac and iPhone share the contact information.

Issue importing contacts through vCard file into ICloud

I have an issue with importing contacts through a vCard file into ICloud. It keeps on saying importing at the bottom of the file but nothing changes. I did check the file and imported it into my gmail account and there is no problem there.
Does anybody know what the issue could be?
Thank you.

Some portions of Apple's cloud services have ben temporarily offline recently. I'd recommend traying again in a day, and perhaps using another browser if it still isn't working. The best way is to import them into the address book application on a mac (which would sync them to icloud), but if you don't have one, then just try those other things.

Script to import contacts from CSV file into Address Book

Hi,
I am wondering if it would be possible to import contacts from a CSV file into a group in Address Book using applescript, and if so, if anyone is aware of a script that does this or something similar.
I have a CSV file with three columns 'First Name', 'Last Name' and 'Email Address'. I would like these to correspond with 'First', 'Last' and (Work) 'Email' in Address Book.
Ideally the script would also check to see if entries already exist for the people being imported, but this is less crucial.
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Nick

Hi,
Test this on a very small csv file (four or five contacts) to see if it works for you. It will not de-duplicate. You don't give the name of the group, so you'll need to replace Name of group in the second line with your group name, enclosed in double quotes.
--begin script
set the_people to read (choose file with prompt "Choose your CSV file")
set the_group to "Name of group"
set old_tids to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ","
set par_count to (count paragraphs in the_people)
repeat with x from 1 to par_count
          set next_par to paragraph x of the_people
          set first_name to text item 1 of next_par
          set last_name to text item 2 of next_par
          set e_mail to text item 3 of next_par
          tell application "Address Book"
                    set nu_person to make new person with properties {first name:first_name, last name:last_name}
make new email at end of emails of nu_person with properties {label:"Work", value:e_mail}
                    add nu_person to group the_group
save
          end tell
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to old_tids
--end script
Watch out for bad line breaks in the lines beginning "set nu_person..." and "make new email..."

Importing contact list from file

My daughter installed PC Suite (E65), and wants to import her contacts from her previous phone (not a Nokia). We have it in a spreadsheet, and can convert to tab-delimited etc. She does not have Outlook, and Outlook Express messes up her contacts (they're not in English). As far as I can see, the only option is to enter each one separately into the PC Suite contacts, but it's quite tedious. Is there any application that can import? Thanks!

Passport - Import Contacts Via CSV file

Just got my Passport yesterday... love it. i took a small break from BB but now i'm BACK.. awesome.
i've exported all my contacts to a CSV file but cannot seem to find how to import them via Blend.
is there a process for this? i have hundereds of business contacts that need to be in my phone.
Please help.
thank you

The best way to do it would be to import those contacts into an email account like Outlook.com and then sync that account's contacts to the Passport. Once in Outlook.com you can have those contacts on any device.

Importing vcf files into Outlook issue

I have exported some PALM contacts as .vcf files and now I am trying to import them into Outlook. In PALM, I have the business number listed as Main so Outlook doesn't import the number into the business field.
How do I configure Outlook so that it recognizes this as the business number?
Thanks.
Post relates to: Palm IIIx

I suspect you will need to edit the files, because Outlook's import function does not let you map custom fields when you choose .vcf import. (If the following is too much of a pain, consider exporting in a tabular format such as comma-separated or tab-separated. You can open that file in Excel or a text editor to remove the records you do not want to import into Outlook.)
Can you open one of the .vcf files in Notepad or Wordpad and confirm that the "Main" number is on a line that starts with the following:
TEL;PREF:
If so, then you can use a VBScript to change that to:
TEL;WORK:
so that Outlook will interpret it as a Business number.
I have posted the script file at the following address:
http://jeffersonscher.com/res/MainToBusiness_vbs.txt
The one-time setup is as follows: After inspecting the file to confirm that it doesn't do anything dangerous, you will need to save it to your hard drive with a .vbs extension. Once it is saved in a convenient location, right-click it and create a shortcut. Then move that shortcut into your Send To folder:
c:\documents and settings\username\SendTo
Setup is done. You now can edit the Palm .vcf files by right-clicking, choosing Send To, then the name of your SendTo shortcut. The edited file will appear in the same folder as your .vcf file, with "_edited" added into the original name.
Hope this helps.

Contacts will not import vcard/.vcf file

I upgraded to Mountain Lion when it first came out.
I am now trying to import a .vcf file into Contacts and it keeps telling me "no importable cards found."
However, if I go to iCloud and try to import that same card, it imports just fine.
Seems that there is something wrong with the Contacts program.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Thanks,
Duffy

If you haven't already done so, go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Contacts, restart your Mac, then go back and check Contacts again.
If you've tried that already, or if it didn't resolve the problem, go to System Prefences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in. (This deletes the account and iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud. Your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in, after a brief delay as it redownloads.)

How can I import contacts into my icloud contacts from an excel file?

I need to add contacts to my icloud contact data base. Can I import from an Excel file?
Thanks,

Not directly, export from Excel to a .csv file, then convert the .csv file to a .vcf (vCard) file. Then iCloud can import the vCard file.
Here is a free csv to vcard conversion utility.
