Import contacts to address book via csv?

My problem is that I follow the import directions for a .csv text file, set it up to import everything to the correct field, and click "ok." Nothing happens - no error message, nothing at all.
I've tried several suggestions in these forums - deleting all the contacts I did have, checking the csv file in Numbers, etc., but nothing seems to work. I haven't found any resolved posts.
Any ideas?

Import contacts to address book

Does importing new contacts via a csv file overwrite or delete existing contacts in Address Book?

Nope.
It makes an additional contact.

Importing contacts to Address book (organized)

Hello,
Someone was helpful awhile back and told me that if I selected all emails in Mac Mail (within a folder), I could send them to address book. Basically I want to send all contacts from a folder in Mac Mail over to address book in an organized fashion. I did the export but now I don't know how to find the new contacts in address book. It just lumped in the new contacts with the others....
Is there a way to organize address book by date added (contacts)? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? I tried dragging over the emails into a group folder in address book but that didn't work.... Thanks!

Smart folders aren't real folders, just sort of Aliases that contain certain criteria in th whole thing.
Like you could make a Smart folder that containd names that had b in the name, that fake folder when clicked on would look like it cantain those that have b in the name, but just really points to only those.
Experiment a bit with them, you can delete them without alarm because it's just a separate DB of them.

How do I share a contact from Address Book via email?

I am trying to send email address details in a Mailing list from my Address Book to a colleague. I have tried going to Attachment option but doesn't include option to attach from Address Book. Also tried copying so that I can paste into the body of the email without success. How can I share these contact details please?
Thanks

What does your correspondent need or want?
One well established standard for exchanging contact information is the vCard which encapsulates many of the commonly used fields in a Contact entry.
If a vCard suits you and your correspondent, this add-on:
https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html
has a nifty feature for sending vCards as attachments. Then your correspondent can probably just add it to his address book. If you copy out single details, like name, address, email address phone no, then the other person has to insert each one into his address book by hand.
If you open the Mailing List in your Address Book, you can probably drag each item out into the body of a new email message. But that's more work than necessary for you and for the recipient, who will need to add each one manually to his address book.
With this add-on, you should be able to open the Mailing List by selecting it in the Address Book, then use ctrl+a to select all, then right-click and select "Send as vCard"; it will open a new message with all the selected Contacts attached.
Lists in general don't have a standard presentation, so a List in one email client is only rarely useful in another. If you both use Thunderbird, you could use this add-on to export the List to a .tha or .thm file which another Thunderbird user could import.

Importing Contacts to Address Book... from e-mail accounts!

I have been a hotmail user for a long time, and basically all my contacts or on my hotmail account. But am moving on, and i am using my gmail account now through apple's Mail. so i would like to import my contacts from hotmail to Apple's Address Book...
any ideas?
Merci:)

Dear noanoa,
yes, it is possible, but not using Apple.Mail. You might wish to give AB Transfer a try:
http://www.turingart.com/abtlan_en.htm
While the app imports and exports various formats, it is also able to scan Apple.Mail's folders regarding TO, FROM, CC and BCC addreses.
Look at the 'Data Sources' tab and find the 'Import from Apple.Mail' section. Click on 'Choose' and choose a mailbox to scan. Finally, select which types of addresses you are interested in.
The scan process is quite fast: The app scans roughly 200 emails per second on a CoreDuo iMac.
Kind regards

HT4489 how to import contacts from address book on mac?

I'm a new user and was wondering if there was a way to import/transfer/copy my contact details from Address Book to ICloud?

Open Address Book on your Mac, select the All Contacts group (if you have multiple groups), click on a single contact, press Command-A to select All Contacts, go to File>Export>Export vCard and save this file on your desktop. Then import the file you just saved to your contacts on icloud.com as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfba7399f.

Import contacts from Address Book to Nokia Phone?

Phone stolen - thankfully contacts are in address book on Macbook Pro. Phone and computer bluetooth enabled and see each other - although phone cannot access computer - ? due to security settings?
Anyone got an idiots guide as to how I import my contacts from the computer to the new SIM?

In my /Library/PhonePlugins is a file Nokia_C7-00_2v0.phoneplugin. I can use iSync to synchronise contacts between my C7 and by 10.6.8 Macbook Pro. Unfortunately I can't recall where I got it. I also have one for an E51. I took a quick look on the Nokia site, but can't find them - you might have better luck. Or you could try this from CNET, but you may have to pay.

Did you make a backup before you upgraded? How did you make the backup?

Using O2M I imported my contacts into Address Book. However upon exiting the contacts are not saved. This is on a new Macbook Pro Lion OS. How does one save the newly imported contacts?

Using the program O2M I successfully imported emails from Outlook 2003 to Mail, and calendar events to iCal. However, repeated attempts to import contacts to Address Book have failed. The contacts appear to import, but when I close Address Book and reopen it, the contacts are gone. I tried File-Save, but Save is greyed out. This is a new Macbook Pro with the latest Lion OS. I wonder if O2M has not been updated to work with Lion. Or is there something I am overlooking in the import process?

Hi Denisej and others who have encountered the same problem,
I tried your work around. Unfortunately it did not work out for me because in my contacts there are an unknown number that still "refused" to be imported like that. When such a contact was in the group I selected for import the whole lot would be lost again after re-opening Address Book. Finally that meant that I had to import each contact one-by-one, each time with the need to close down Address Book. A job to go nuts and end up with a mouse injury. So I decided to use the Migration Assistant that Lion now offers
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3284404
together with Windows Migration Assitant on my old PC. Obviously both Mac and PC have to be on the same network. For this I did not need to do anything special. Both make use of the same router and that is apparently sufficient. When migrating the contacts Lion creates a new account, so you need to log in to that new account to see your migrated contacts. I used the Export Address Book Archive function in the Address Book menu to copy the lot to my own Apple account. I got rid of the new account and I was finally where I wanted to be in the first place.

Group sync from iphone contacts to Address Book

I have read numerous entries regarding this but I have not been able to solve the problem. My Palm was never this difficult to synch. Has anyone been able to come up with a universal solution for new groups in Address Book not synching with groups in Contacts in the iPhone? After I first synched the phone, the existing groups in Address Book showed up, but all new groups since then do not transfer to the phone. I have reset the synch software, and rebooted the mac to no avail. Many thanks.

tnarg nosegref,
When you say you reset the sync software, did you follow all the steps in article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1865 ? If not, it's the most thorough method of doing so.
In addition to this, have you tried backing up your Address Book as an archive, and then reimporting it, overwriting the existing contents?

Runnig 10.6.8 on a MacBook PRO.....

The easiest fix if you're running Snow Leopard is to export all your contacts, then import them into something like google (I already had a gmail account), and then just use google to sync your contacts instead of icloud (via the sync with Google button in the address book settings).
Its a bit sluggish to update, but it works well. You can then point your iphone, and other iOS devices to use google for contacts too.
If Apple don't want to look after their customers, other companies will gladly do so....

I use an i-pad and my primary account email is aol. Is there a way to import my aol address book onto my ipad "contacts?"

I am using an ipad and the primary account email is aol. Is there a way to import my aol address book onto my ipad "contacts" app?

Oops, I found the answer to my question. Great knowledge base! I had originally imported via the automatic popup dialog box that appeared when I installed TB, and didn't absorb at the time that there would be a way to do an import later, after TB install, too, and even for specific parts of OE (address book vs. mail messages, etc.).
I pasted the link to the "Migrate to Thunderbird" page that includes how to migrate just an Address Book from OE, but the following is all that pastes in: 9723729938
I have typed out the link here:
