Importing Opera Contacts.adr file intoYosemite Contacts

I have an Opera Contacts.adr file from an older (Snow Leopard) iMac version and am trying to import it to a new 21" iMac. It appears that the only thing that will open it in Yosemite OS is Opera, and it appears that the file is not compatible to be imported into Contacts.
Does anyone know if there's a solution other than manually typing each contact (360 ea) into Yosemite Contacts.

Apparently it does. I thought I read somewhere that the address book would allow .cvm format. Well, I converted it to cvm, but no cigar. So, my wife will have to copy and paste from the .cvm file until maybe there is a better solution.
I want to thank you for your help.

HT4489 Rather than importing one vcf at a time (which doesn't seem to be working), is there someway of importing many contacts at once, perhaps from a comma-delimited file?

I've just received my iPad, still struggling to get to grips with it, trying to import my contacts from my PC into iCloud.... does anybody have any suggestions on how to bulk-import?
Thanks

Thanks - that's exactly what I'm trying to do!
It's step 2 that I'm having trouble with.
I could replicate the job of something like (for example) JDOM by receiving all events under the root and creating JDOM elements from the contents, but I was hoping to be able to use some library that did this for me (for example: jdom's SAXBuilder class).
The other side effect of this method is that you drive things from a SAX parser and let the document handler do the application work. Unfortuanately re-engineering the application to work from within a DocumentHandler is probably not an option.
But thankyou anyway :)

Importing a contact folder from external hard drive onto new iphone

It is kind of a long story...my mom was updating iphone on computer when computer crashed. iphone crashed. had friend move all info from crashed computer onto external hard drive. got new iphone.
so, she no longer has a computer and we have to share mine. she has her own itunes on an external drive and i have my own itunes on another hard drive. i got almost everything except the contacts moved back on her phone. i see the folder and contacts in a 'contact' folder on the external hard drive, but how do I move that to the new iphone without it being in outlook/google/yahoo. i tried 'adding folder' to the library containing the contacts, but that didn't work.
any suggestions? thanks!!!

thanks for the advise about the two users. so, i did that. but, now cannot seem to import the contact folder into the Address Book. the files in the 'contact'-hard drive are called CONTACT files (.contact). i don't know what that means. can i open those in the address book?

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.

How do I import my contacts from iCloud to my MacBook Pro?

I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, Safari 8.0.2. I want the contacts to stay on iCloud but I also want all of them to live on my laptop. Is there an easy way to do this or do I have to import each contact, one at a time? Please, oh, please let it be easy. I have a lot of contacts.

My contacts are on my iPhone, my Mac & iCloud. The only "Account" (Contacts Menu > Accounts or Apple Menu > System Preferences > Internet Accounts) where I have Contacts turned on is iCloud so the only tab I have in Contacts on my Mac is "All Contacts."
I do insure that I have backups because I think it is possible if unlikely that a problem originating with iCloud could cause a loss. In addition to Time Machine which does my backups I also periodically open the Contacts application and use the File Menu > Export Contacts Archive and keep that exported file (which also gets backed up by Time Machine). That's overkill, but I sleep well

Having problems importing .pst contacts into TB

I have outlook 2013 and I'm moving to TB. I have successfully imported the .pst email message to TB. However, I have not been able to import the contacts folder/file.
Suggestions?

Make Outlook default email client.
In Thunderbird
* Tools > Import
* select 'Address books' click on next
* select 'Outlook' click on next
* you may need to map the columns.
If this is not working:
Use Outlook to export the contacts as a comma separated .csv file.
Then import the .csv file.
In Thunderbird
* Tools > Import
* select 'Address books' click on next
* select 'Text file(LDIF, .tab, .csv, .txt)' and click on Next.
* you may need to map the columns.
AS an aid the link below tells you what column headers are used, so you can save the .csv file and edit using eg: Excel.
This is not absolutely necesary, but can make importing a bit easier if you have the same column headers with correct info.

HT4489 please i need to know how can i import my contacts from the pc saved as vcard i tried to import but it gives me an error

please i need to know how can i import my contacts from the pc saved as vcard? i tried to import a vcard contact but it gives me an error

Time Machine is a back up you have to set up to back up before there is a problem like a hard drive failure.
It is possible to recover files from a failed drive, but it is an expensive proposition.
There is a faint hope that an app like Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro might repair the drive. You could try making an appointment at an Apple store and ask a technician there to take a look... the diagnosis will not cost you.

I Need Help Importing my Contacts Onto my New (old) Palm phone.

I need to import my contacts onto my Palm Centro. As of now, they are in a .csv file. When I select import from the Palm Desktop file menu and browse for my contact file, it shows the file grayed out. Even if I instruct the program to allow all file types, it doesn't work. I've read that the Centro needs a .aba file- but I can't find a converter that works.
I'm on a Mac but it has OSX and Windows 7, so I can use any program/service that you guys can suggest. Even if you don't know a program that can do what I need, I also want to know definitively what file format my Palm Centro wants these contacts.
I know this is an old phone, but there must be a way to do this (and avoid typing in 400+ contacts).
Thanks very much in advance!
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Have you tried this program?

I cannot import .abbu contact back up into iCloud.

I have lost my contacts. Fortunately, I did back up the contacts through the Contact back-up program. Now I only need to know how to import these contacts into my iCloud account. I have two iCloud accounts, one for home, one for work. If I try to import into my contact account into my home Contacts program, I get a message that all the existing contacts will be deleted. Can someone help me?

Ok. The story is a little long. I have three iCloud accounts. One for 'home', one for 'work', and one for a 'new job' I recently started.
I have all three files showing in my contacts application on my iMac.
I wanted to import the .abbu back up from my 'work' contacts file into my 'new job' contacts file on my iMac. When I tried to do this, a pop-up stated that it will delete all my contacts. Since I had only one contact in my 'new job' account, I thought that would be alright. Instead it deleted all the contacts in both the 'work' account and the 'new job' account leaving me with both those files empty. My 'home' contacts file was left unchanged. A funny thing happens when I try to import the file. all of the contacts show, but after about three seconds, they all disappear again. So they must be in the file. I just can't get them to stay.
There are about 3,000 contacts in my 'work' account and 275 in my 'home' account. I am scared of loosing my 'home' account at this point.

Import multiple contacts into a group from an email message

I have received an email from which I wish to import the additional contacts into my address book.
I used to be able to drag/drop them into my address book all at once, but can't any more.
I have also tried drag/drop into a Numbers file to try to convert to a csv and then import, but it copied all the addresses into a single field and I couldn't get them to separate.
UGH. How can I import multiple contacts into a group in my address book from an email message?

That is a few too many to do one at a time.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Import Customer Contact in UCCX dialer automatically

Hi,
How we can import customer contact (ANI, Name etc) to outbound campaign automatically. Exact requirment is, we want to collect customer contact from the CRM and put in a location in a .text file and then this .txt file will be uploaded automatically to a specific campaign.
Another query here is , if this .text file generate frequently lets say 100 no. per hour. Then how dialer will behave ? Will it start dialing after every upload?
Please help.
Thanks,
Muzammel Haque

Hi,
you can use XPATH queries in your script, with the GET XML Document Data step, like this
"/CUSTOMERLIST/CUSTOMER[@DNIS=$customerdnis]/Phone"
where the $customerdnis will be value entered by the customer (?), and the result String of this step will be the Phone value (so you can use it to transfer the call to).
To be quite honest with you, I don't really like the idea of having such an XML-based solution. XML usually works well if the file size is relatively small, but if it starts growing, it just starts eating up more resources. And, if the file is not valid, the whole thing breaks.
Can't you just use SQL?

HT4489 why cant i import a contact

Ive tried importing a contact from my windows contact list stored as a vcard file on my pc(vista) and every time i try it tells there was a problem reading the vcard can anyone help please

AVI is just a container (like .mov) and it's what inside that prevents iMovie 7 from using it.
You'll need to export the file using different codecs. Export to DV Stream is best to preserve quality but makes a huge file.

Editing imported CSV contact information?

Hello, I have been searching everywhere and cannot find an answer, my guess is that Skype isn't smart enough to do this but figured I would ask...
I am able to edit contacts that were added from Facebook and those that I have found through Skype, that is not my issue. My issue is that I have imported my contacts as a CSV file from my address book and those contacts, I cannot edit. When I right click on a name of a facebook contact it give me the option to View Profile and then Add Phone Number. If I right click a CSV added contact I can View Profile but CANNOT ADD PHONE NUMBER.
I am using the latest version 7.4.0.102, just checked the update. Any suggestions? All I want to do is edit/add numbers to contacts. It would also be nice to delete some of the contacts as well (I can delete those that are facebook contacts)...

I have tried that, however, as it is not a song that I downloaded with iTunes (I had it in my music folder on my C: drive), the area is blocked out in grey so does not allow me to edit the information.
Any other ideas I could try?
