Importing list of address

Hello,
I have a list of 500 collected email addresses which are too many to import separately. They are typed names separated by a comma, stored as a text file.
How to I add them to my address book without having to add separately?
Thanks!

I am not sure how good my list of .csv email addresses are. (SOme have name fields included others don't) there are no line breaks. Can I save the text file a certain way that will make it possible for address book to import this list as individual vcards?
Not AFAIK. If it won't import your .csv files, it doubtful you can import as vcards.
Software? You can look, there's software for just about anything but again not that I know of.

Using numbers for roster information. Imported from another program. Now seem to have extra headers, one listing name, address, etc.

Using numbers for roster information. Imported from another program. Now seem to have extra headers, one listing name, address, etc. & another A, B, C. They don't mesh & can't get rid of either. All info there, but can't change width of columns.

I think my problem is that I have inadvertently created three tables (I only want one). I have included a screen shot of the light grey line under B and the words Table 1 behind it.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Export/Import groups from address book?

How do I export group lists from address book and import them to another MAC?

I can import individual contacts but when I export and then import a group list it imports as single contacts that go into the general contact folder. I cannot seem to import them as groups.

Importing folders from Address Book

Hi all,
I'm new to iPod and am wondering if there is a way to import folders from Address Book. At the moment I've got a long list of names in alphabetical order (some duplicated because they exist in more than one folder).
Thanks,
Andrew

You might want to ask for further suggestions in the Mac OS X 10.5 forum, then. Someone there might know how to get the database from Address Book 5 into AB4, if it's even possible.
Regards.

Importing mass email addresses into Address Book?

My boss just got a new Blackberry and wants to sync her contacts. Unfortunately, she is not very good at making address book entries.
Is there a way to quickly import any email address into Address Book? She doesn't need the everything edited with name, address, etc...since she knows most of these people by their email address more than their first/last names!

They aren't located anywhere. She has all her email messages archived in Mail.app for the last 3 years so she'd like to extract them from there.
Is there some kind of built-in email address list in Mail.app, because it seems to auto complete any email address she types despite it not being in the Apple address book app.

Switcher w/ problems importing MSN email address book

I downloaded ABEE to help with importing my MSN address book to MacMail but it only lists contact names .... no email adresses or other information. Any suggestions to solve this problem?
Thanks, pbee

hi pbbe,
welcome to the forums.
1) log into hotmail
2) at the top left of the screen, next to the word "windows live" there is the word hotmail, when you place the cursor over this word a menu will drop down, chose "contacts"
3) on the left side of the screen there is the word "all contacts" to the left of all contacts there is "manage" click on manage
4) when you click on manage a drop down menu will appear click on "export"
5) the page will change, you will be prompted to type in a list of random letters and numbers, do so, then click the "export" button
6) after step 5, you should be downloading your contacts as a CSV file. open "address book"
7) back up your address book, just in case the import goose wrong. go to the menu bar
8) click on the file menu
9) go to the export option, from the sub menu chose "address book archive"
10) chose some where to save it and do so
11) now that you have a backup, import the contacts. go back to the file menu
12) chose import
13 navigate to the downloaded contacts and click import
you should now have your contacts including your email. But if you don't, you can convert back to your address book backup

Manually Reset AddressBook Last Import list

I don't understand why Apple has not fixed this silly bug after so long, probably because there is not enough complaints about it, but here is a solution for those who needs to migrate multiple address books for users who are migrating to Mac.
This is for removing multiple addresses from the last import list, to remove a single address it has been reported that saving the address entry after any change will remove it from the Last Import list.
All address data in AddressBook 5 seems to be stored in a sqlite datafile in
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb
The instructions provided here works for AddressBook 5.02, I don't know about other versions.
Remember to make a backup copy for the address book data file before proceeding with the following!!!
To remove addresses from the last import list, get a sqlite GUI for example SQLite Manager add on for firefox.
Open the AddressBook datafile and run this sql statement
update ZABCDRECORD set ZDISPLAYFLAGS = NULL where ZDISPLAYFLAGS = 128
the addresses will now be removed from the Last Import list.
Now you can reset the Last Import list after adding multiple last imported addresses into a group and move on to the next group of addresses to import.
If only the AddressBook Last Import can work as it should!

Last Import of addressbook... mine is not clearing like many others I've seen and I'm migrating into addressbook and want to bring in groups from my nudc... here is what I did to get my groups in...
1. clean up addressbook- got rid of any ungrouped entries
2. import my vcf group... now in addressbook it's mixed with junk not clearing from "last import" so I can't just move them to the new group...
3. BUT all these last imported are in the smart "no group"... so I select all from that smart group and drag into the new group and voila.
4. I ignore the last import group... I don't want to mess w/sql file cleanups etc...
I never noticed a problem w/last import not clearing before... pain in the butt an needs fixing by apple.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

How do i import outlook email addresses to iphone and send as a SMS text messages

How do i import outlook email addresses to iphone and send as a SMS text messages?

You can send a message through an email gateway so that it appears as a text on someone's phone. However, it's not their regular address. For example, for a Verizon customer, it would be [email protected] Perhaps that's what you're thinking of?

Possible to do one-time import of Thunderbird address book?

From reading the past 18 months worth of postings, I realize that iPhone communication with Thunderbird is very bad, and it seems to be impossible to sync the Thunderbird address book to the iPhone contacts.
But even if I can't keep them synced, is there a way to do a one-time import of the address book into my iPhone contacts? I can export the address book as a csv text file if that helps. I hate the thought of having to type in all the people in the address book manually, since I have about 100 of them.

Well, you are asking for 100kS at a rate of ~22kS/sec. That is ~4.5 seconds worth of data that you are asking for from the sound card. That is what is making your system slow.
I am afraid I do not quite understand what you mean (I am not overly confident about the workings of computers).
Data Acquisition 101. It takes time to take data. YOU told the sound card to acquire data at ~22kS/s. YOU asked for 100k samples each loop iteration. Therefore YOU asked for 4.5 seconds worth of data each loop iteration. If you want the iterations to go faster, you need to either 1) increase the sample rate and/or 2) decrease the number of samples you acquire with each read.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Can't Import Outlook Express address book to Pearl 8100

A friend just gave me an AT&T BB Pearl 8100 and I am using it as a phone only with no data plan (it's a company cell phone but they won't pay for a data plan -- I just put my SIM card in the BB). I am trying to connect to my personal PC with the USB cable and import my OE address book. I am using Desktop Manager 4.7, and when I try to synch it a window flashes that says "Synchronization Progress - Processing" for about one second, then that disappears and my phone doesn't get updated. Can someone help me? I searched for this problem prior to posting but can't find this situation. I dread having to type them one by one -- any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Mike

What is the best way to make a list of addresses for envelopes or labels? Address book, numbers or pages?

What is the best way to make a list of addresses for envelopes and labels? Address book, Pages or Numbers?

I liek your idea of having multiple images in a grid. I think
that would be the best bet as you mentioned. Having one big picture
would be hard to distinguish the sub-areas with mouse coordinates.
I think checking the coordinates for the mouse would be very
tedious because I would have to check for the left boundary, the
right, top, and bottom for each sub-area!
What do you mean by using button components and reskinning.
Is this simply using buttons and changing the way they look? I'm
just trying to save time and memory, because if I had a 10 by 10
grid, thats a hundred buttons. Wouldn't that slow down the machine
alot? And for that matter wouldn't having a grid of 10 by 10 images
also by the same deal?
Thanks for the input, I'm just trying to find the most
efficient way to do it.

Problem of PI am having a weird problem in prinrinting List in Address Book

I am having a weird problem in printing a list of addresses in Address Book. The odd number pages (1,3,5,etc.) print fine but the even number pages move the phone numbers from the third column and prints them over the second column's address and Note fields. Anybody know what is going on here? I have tried the Roll Call Directory software suggested by one respondent on another printing problem and while it is very nice, it seems to have its own quirks (Splits the information when it reaches the bottom left column of a two column set-up or prints at the top left column of the next page when it reaches the end of the right column instead of keeping the address intact in one spot).

P.S. To as to this problem. I tried printing some more pages of the address list and now while some of the odd numbered pages seem OK as you go along it switches to some of the even numbered pages being OK with the odd numbered pages having the third column shifting to overprint on part of the 2nd column. In addition, I can't print envelopes since the program simply does nothing or crashes when the print button is selected.
