Importing contacts from outlook to address book...help

Hi
Can anyone assist I have all my contacts in outlook at work and rather then typr them all into my mac address book is there a way to import them. Have checked forums and found no info, anyone know if there is a way!
many thanks
Aytch

As I read this thread, I can see where the solution for Heather would qork for exporting maiboxes and contacts from Outlook (windows version) and then into apple mail or entourage. I have a tougher problem.
My wife is upgrading from an old Imac (OS 9.1.2) using Outlook Express5.0 to a MacBook. She has years of email and contacts on her old client.
I am familiar with exporting and importing, but I don't even see a choice for exporting messages on the Outlook Express client.
Can anyone help here? Geez, Apple should be at fault here for building such a reliable machine that we didn't' have to upgrade earlier. Just kidding.
Thanks in advance,
John

  • I can't import contacts from Outlook to Address Book

    I've tried to do the research before asking this question, but I can't get this to work. How do you import contacts from Microsoft Outlook to Address book? When I try to export from Outlook, the only option I have is .csv file, it doesn't give me an option to export as a vcard. I've exported to a .csv file and tried importing this into Address Book as a text file, and it opens up a window called Text File Import. When I click OK nothing happens. I'm new to the Mac world so I don't know what I'm doing wrong or what I'm missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    One way if you are still accessing an email account with Outlook is the following:
    In Contacts, click the contact you want to send as a vCard or select all to send all, and then on the Actions menu, click Forward as vCard.
    All contacts will be added to a new message created as separate vCard attachments. Send the message to an email account you are accessing with the Mail.app on the Mac.
    Create a folder on the Mac desktop or in your location of choice and save all vCard attachments received via email to this folder.
    Launch Address Book and at the menu bar, go to File > Import and select vCards navigating to the folder that contains the vCard files sent from Outlook.

  • How do i import contacts from iPhone to address book?

    how do i import contacts from iphone to address book?

    Ok, I knew it was a long shot.  The merge prompt normally is only available when you first sync your device.  I'm not sure how things got out of sync in the first place, but you may have to manually delete the contacts from your phone that you don't want there at this point.  I would try adding a new contact on your phone followed by sync to confirm that it's picking up new contacts though.
    Unfortunately I need to go now, so if you're still having problems I suggest your start a new post in the forum to see if someone else can help.  Good luck!

  • Moving contacts from Outlook to address book on mac

    I need help getting contact from outlook to address book on my mac.

    I believe Outlook should have an option to export contacts as a vcard. do so, move the vcard to the mac and drop it onto Address Book there.

  • How do I import contacts from AOL to Address book?

    How do I import contacts from an AOL account to my iPad address book?

    Luther,
    This action would be performed on your computer, not on your iPad.  Once you transfer your contacts from AOL on your computer to your Windows contacts list, you would then sync them to your iPad via a Computer iTunes sync to your iPad.  You might want to Google the following:
    "hwo to import aol contacts to windows contacts"
    Or Google the following:
    "how to import aol contacts to itunes"
    Or
    "how to import aol contacts to ipad"
    You'll find many subjects on these.........

  • Importing Contacts from Outlook to Address (not answered in archives)

    This question will stump some of you! Before posting, I went gone through the archives and followed all the suggestions and have still not solved my problem...
    I have moved to Mac from PC and need to import over 2000 Contacts from PC running Outlook 2000 to my beautiful iMac (17 inch with an Intel chip running Mac OS X 10.4.7). All these contacts are organised on the PC filed with relevant Category entries and also a great many of these contacts have lots of information stored in the Notes section. Therefore, I need to insure that any imported contacts maintain the data of their relevant Category (which hopefully will become relevant Group in Address) and also must keep all the Notes data.
    The following suggestions came from me reading past postings on this bulletin board:
    I have tried exporting all contacts to vCards from Outlook via sending them as attachments to myself but the attachments are winmail.dat with Address cannot import as vCards.
    I have tried ABFiller on the .pst file generated by Outlook but the import to Address was corrupted and no contacts that were imported had any Category information or Notes.
    I have tried Address Book Importer but this only brought over five contacts!
    I have tried O2M but this too failed to import any contacts without losing the Category and Notes.
    I have tried PST Import Tool but this too corrupted my data.
    I have been able to sync my Palm with my PC and then my Mac using Missing Sync for Palm but none of the categories were carried over and none of the entries made in the year 2006.
    Anybody got any other suggestions???
    I guess the problem is that I am using a Mac with an Intel chip as the above suggestions seemed to work for other people.
    HELP!!! I am desperate to get my data into my Mac from my PC.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Chris,
    I have tried exporting all contacts to vCards from Outlook via sending them as attachments to myself but the attachments are winmail.dat with Address cannot import as vCards.
    This is caused by sending your message as "richt text" from Outlook - if you send the message as plain text, the attachment(s) should come across properly instead of embedded within the dreaded winmail.dat file (IIRC, you will have to go into the properties of the recipient and unselect the checkbox saying "always send messages as rich text").
    Alternatively, you can use TNEF's enough to extract the actual attachments from the winmail.dat file.
    Another possible solution is to install Thunderbird on your PC. The first time you start TB, it will ask you whether you want to import your addresses (and messages) from Outlook. Once you have the addresses in TB, you can export them into a ldif file which you can then in turn import into the Address Book on your Mac.

  • I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when i try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported

    I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to Mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when I try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported. Any ideas? 
    Thanks,

    If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts.  There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

  • 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.

  • Unable to sync contacts from iPhone to Address Book...works the other way

    I am unable to have changes on my iPhone reflect in my Mac's address book. For example, I would delete a contact on the iphone, but it stays there in the Mac's address book after sync. The worst part is that now on subsequent syncs, the contact is never added back to the phone or deleted from the computer. I am able to create as many contacts as I want on the phone and sync them to the address book, but just not delete modify them.
    Creating/deleting contacts in the address book works.
    So far, I have tried:
    1. Resetting the sync history.
    2. Replacing all my iPhone contacts with those in address book.
    3. Unselecting and reselecting sync contacts from iTunes.
    4. Archiving my address book, deleting everything in it, syncing, and then repopulating it.
    5. Restoring my iPhone.
    None of this has worked, and I am close to pulling my hair out. I just fixed issues with the new Safari bookmarks sync, and now this. Can anyone please help me fix this issue? Any help would be appreciated.
    This is what my console looks like:

    Thanks for the idea of looking at the Console. I've created new contacts on my MacBook and my iPhone, but neither is syncing to the other, in fact a new contact group I created in Address Book doesn't even show up in the list of groups in the Contacts sync window in iTunes. Here's what the Console says every time I sync:

  • Transfer contacts from blackberry to address book?

    I have a blackberry with 1500+ contacts in it and i want to put them into my mac address book. does anyone know how i would do this?

    If you can get the Contacts out of your Blackberry as vCards then it is easy to double-click and import them into the Mac Address Book.
    The application below may help with this task:

    Also search on Google for 'blackberry vcard' for other possibilities.

    Do you mean export from Outlook to iCloud?
    Do you have contacts turned on using the iCloud control panel in Windows control panel?
