Importing Contacts from Palm w/o using Outlook or Outlook Express... How???

Is there some way to import contact data from my PC & Palm into the Touch w/o using Outlook or Outlook Express. I have the contacts in Excel format but don't know how to get them into the iPod w/o using the syncing with iTunes. Any ideas?
If that's not possible, does anyone have any links to a better description as to how I go about getting the palm data into Outlook or OE? I know this is a Microsoft question and I'll try their forums as well. Thanks for your help.

i'm not sure this is possible. as far as i know you can only get contacts onto the ipod from either outlook OR windows contacts (which i think is only available with vista.)
there is an app called funambol, which will allow you to sync your contacts to an internet server, your ipod, and your mobile phone, using wifi.

Importing contacts from pst into iCloud using Outlook 2010

I am trying to import contacts from a PST file into iCloud by importing it with Outlook 2010's standard import tool. I have set up iCloud on my desktop and have a node in my Outlook 2010 Contacts menu for iCloud. There are about 2000 contacts in the PST, but the import completes with only 511 contacts every time. The pop-up message at the end says "some items cannot be copied. they were either moved or deleted, or access was denied."
How can I troubleshoot this? Or, is there an alternate way to bring these contacts into iCloud for use also in Outlook and my iPhone 4?

Importing Contacts from OE5 (OS9) to Thunderbird (OSX)

I've just moved to OSX from OS9, where I used Outlook Express 5.02 for mail.
I'm setting up Thunderbird but am unable to import the Address Book and Messages from OE. There is no option in Import for OE and any files in OE Main Identity that can be recognised via Thunderbird's Import fail to come across.
Ideas, please. Thank you.
Michael

Having given up someone suggested a solution which works, albeit tediously. In summary the process for 10.3 (it was suggested 10.4 was different) is:
Import messages into Mail from OE.
Find imported files in Mail's Mailboxes folder. Make a copy and work on that.
In turn control-click each .mbox file and choose 'Show Package Contents'.
From window that opens move the file named mbox to your profile folder in Thunderbird's Profiles folder. (In practice it was simpler to rename each mbox with the name I wanted that box to have before moving it rather than rename it as soon as it was in Profiles.)
Restart Thunderbird.
Check structure against Mail (assuming you worked on a copy) or OE.
Depending on any folder structure you used in OE you need to check exactly what it is you are moving. With hindsight it might have been better to move the mailboxes across in a flat structure then create any folders.
Importing addresses failed again. I was pointed to a free utility called Address Book Exporter which creates a .txt file from Address Book, that was easy to import into Thunderbird but although cards were created all had some/all information missing. I have given up on that!

Import contacts from old outlook 2013 to new Outlook 2013

I recently had to get a new computer. I removed the boot drive from the old computer and installed it as drive F on the new computer. This worked great in recovering my large data files. However, drive F contains an instance of Outlook 2013
as does drive C. How do I copy to or import drive F's contact info to the new Outlook 2013 contacts? I do not need the old email messages as I already have gotten them from the email service provider.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to import contacts from old Outlook 2013 to the new Outlook 2013 please follow these steps: -
Collect Files from the Old Computer
First, you need the PST from your old computer. In most cases, they will be in the default location Outlook uses. To quickly access the default PST location outside of
Outlook, paste this line in Windows Explorer’s address bar:
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
Copy the Files to the New Computer
Now, you will copy the PSTs to the new computer. If you have several PSTs in the folder and are not sure which one is the one with your data, look at the file dates and
file sizes. If you have 265KB PST files, they are empty and don’t need to be moved.
Paste the following line into the address bar.
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
In this folder you will have the NK2, SRS, XML, outlprnt, and VBA project files.
Open the AppData Roaming folder using the following command and copy the NK2 file to the folder.
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Outlook
Create a Profile
After the PST file is on the local drive, type mail in the start search field on the
Start menu or go to Control Panel, Mail then opens the profile dialog. (If you use the
Category view, mail is under the Users group; in Win 64-bit, Mail is under 32-bit application.
Click the Show Profile button.
Click Add to create a new profile.
Enter a descriptive name for your profile.
Enter the name you want to use for your display name, your email address, and your password.
Add Your Existing Data File (PST) to the Profile
If you have an Outlook data file PST, and you want to use with your new profile, then please follow these steps: -
Select the newly created profile, then click Properties.
Click Data files button to open Account Setting dialog to the Data files tab.
Click Add then browse to your existing PST file.
If the PST is a native Outlook 2003/2007 file type, choose the top entry for the Outlook Personal File. Click Ok.
Select your existing PST file.
You can enter a friendly name or just click OK to return the Account Settings dialog.
Click the Sets as Default button. Select the PST Outlook created when it created the profile and click Remove. If you want, click Open folder to find and deletes this PST.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

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,
Ian

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.

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 can I import contacts from another AIM account to this new one??

Hi,
Use AIM for Mac and use the Export and Import features.
Other than that it is a question on making sure every Single Buddy has more than just their Screen name in the IChat Address Card so it is added to the Address Book and dragging them back from there
