IMPORTING OUTLOOK CONTACTS INTO ICAL, ENTOURAGE, ETC TO SYNC WITH NEW 3G

How can I do this? What type of file extension do I need to export from windows outlook to be able to get the contacts info into my new Iphone 3G. Thanks for your assistance.

iTunes on the PC can load contacts directly into iPhone.
Or you can export vcards, copy to Mac, load into "Address Book", then sync into iPhone with Mac iTunes. Outlook only has an option to export vcards 1-at-a-time. There are several 3rd party programs for the PC that can export all-at-once.

Our old computer crashed which had all the kids ipod touch library on it. Now when I connect ipods to new computer it says I have to erase all the app, etc to sync with new computer. Is there anyway to sync to the new computer w/out losing all data?

Our old computer crashed which had all the kids ipod touch library on it. Now when I try to connect them to new computer it says I need to erase all data, apps, etc. to sync with new computer. It is saying that it can only be connected to one library at a time. Is their anyway around this without having ot erase all their stuff?

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

Importing Outlook calendar into iCal

I am relatively new to Apple and one of the few things that is taking the gloss off an otherwise happy experience of working in this new environment is my inability to import my Outlook (2003) Calendar from the work office into iCal on my home iMac. I would be grateful if anyone could tell me if this is possible, and how it might be done so that I do not overwrite the appointments I already have entered in iCal. Thanks.

Don't blame Apple for this. Blame Microsoft. ALL of Microsoft's products (Outlook, Windows Media Player, Microsoft Office,etc.) were created in proprietary & closed formats, designed to keep you "locked in" to Microsoft and Windows as long as possible. Microsoft makes it nearly impossible to move any of your data out of their products and into a competitor's products.
Apple, on the other hand, has designed all of their products with open standards and open formats, so your data is never "locked in" like it is with Microsoft.
In the meantime, luckily you can use the product Outlook2Mac to get your data over from Outlook's calendar to iCal.

Can't get Entourage calendar to sync with new iTouch

I am trying to Sync my Entourage calendar from my Mac to my new iTouch. I've marked the Entourage box in iTunes Info but that just seems to bring up an Entourage file inside of iCal which I never use and seems to be corrupted with random and massively duplicated items. Is there any way to sync Entourage calendar?

I know that there's an Apple Support article on this somewhere, but I don't have the link saved.
Here's an article from Entourage that may help a little:
http://www.entourage.mvps.org/syncservices/basics.html
Basically, you have to let Mac OS's built in Sync Services allow Entourage to sync with iCal and then iCal will sync with the touch.
I personally never do anything in iCal either, but successfully have everything in my Entourage calendar on my iPod Touch because I let iCal be the go-between.

Transfer the contents from the old computer to a new computer. With a few exceptions, i-gadgets are designed to match the content of a device to the content on a computer, not really the other way around. You can move iTunes purchases from a device onto a computer, but no music obtained some other way.

Importing Shared Contacts into the Global Address List (Outlook 2013)

A colleague of mine has made a contact list which is going to be shared with other colleagues to increase productivity.
His question is, if it's possible to import the contact list into the Global Address List after it has been shared?
The contact list does not appear in my Global Address List, instead it appears in the People section (next to Calender).
If you need technical info about the office version etc., feel free to ask!
Thanks in advance.

SP-Brown,
You can import contacts into Active Directory, so that it can be included in GAL. There are some gotchas with that however. Maybe, a simple Outlook folder sharing is more convenient for you. You can share Outlook Contacts folders among collagues just the
same as Outlook Calendar sharing works. Start here:
https://support.office.com/en-au/article/Share-an-Outlook-calendar-with-other-people-cafb9303-1b1e-40d3-839d-b6abac03a5e8
https://support.office.com/en-in/article/Share-a-contacts-folder-with-others-58ca1290-e170-4f89-a213-03aa6750bcf3
With Exchange Public Folders you can achieve somewhat the same.
If you really want to mess with AD and the GAL, this is your article:

The ideal situation would be if the shared Contacts Folder shows up in the Offline GAL, but I'll try to fiddle around with it for a bit.
Is there also a possibilty that users can import a contact list so that appears in their Offline GAL?, I do think that it might be a hassle to keep the contacts updated....

HT2513 is it possible to import my contacts into my ical?

is it possible to import my contacts into my ical?

This is NOT what we (most of us) want to do ... We want to have the information from our contact(s) automatically be available in the calendar event. If we "invite" the contact, they get to see and are asked to respond (accept / decline / maybe) ... NOT always something we want. For example, I am going to an event and I want to remember their face (what they look like - maybe I've only met them once awhile ago), their spouses name, children or business profile / items and I don't want them to know I have made this one of my agenda items for the event. If I entered all this including their profile picture in contacts, I certainly don't want to enter it all again AND BTW, iCal doesn't really have the proper fields for this information anyway. Sure I can use the notes section but this is double entry. As you can see from just this one example, I would not want to invite them to this calendar entry. I can think of many other instances where that would be problematical (to say the leasat) as well.
It is really incomprehansible that contact, iCal and even mail does not have at least this level of integration.

How to import Lotus Notes or Outlook calendar into iCal ???

Is there a way to import calendar data from either Lotus Notes or Outlook calendar into iCal ? Is there a generic data type file that I must first get the calendar file into before importing into iCal ?

The file must be .ics. I used to simply use Missing Sync to get my calendars synced up, however it's not yet supported in Leopard.
So, in order to get my office Outlook data over to Ical, I simply used the following "macro"
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=136194
Simply follow the instructions...it worked well for me. all my work data got transferred over.

I am switching over from a PC to a MacBook Pro and an iPad. How do I import my Outlook contacts into MacBook and iPad?

I am switching over from a PC to a MacBook Pro and an iPad. How do I import my Outlook contacts into MacBook and iPad?

One option is forwarding your Outlook contacts as vCard files which can be imported by the Address Book on your Mac, followed by being synced with your iPad.
In Outlook, select all contacts and at the menu bar select forward as vCard. Each contact will be a separate vCard file. Send the email to an email account you are accessing with the Mail app on your Mac.
Save the attached vCard files in a folder created on your Desktop or in whichever chosen location for the folder. At the Address Book menu bar, go to File and select Import navigating to the folder that incudes the vCard files. Open the folder to select.

How to get Outlook contacts into Android's contact list?

I have just installed Outlook by Microsoft Corp onto my Android Asus ZenFone 2. From the Outlook app, I can see under People all my contacts from the Exchange server, with other contacts on the phone's contact list. However, from the phone's contact
list, I cannot see the Outlook account, I can see only Google, WhatsApp, SIM, device, etc.
Is the Microsoft Outlook app a "normal" phone app like all the other apps with contact lists?
Thanks.

Hi,
As per the information and details provided by you, to get the Outlook contacts into Android’s contact list, please follow these steps: -
Gmail is an excellent import tool fir contacts exported
in an Outlook CSV form.
Login to
Gmail that is associated with your Android device, go to the
Contacts from drop down menu up left, More > Import function.
This will allow you to choose the CSV file you just got out of Outlook on your computer, and
upload it to Gmail. Here they are – all your Outlook contacts synced with your new
Android device.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Problem importing ics files into iCal

Importing ics files into iCal is the problem, but first here is the background on why I'm trying to import.
I have an iMac and iPad, and recently changed my iPhone 3G for an iPhone 4S. Having got the iPhone 4S I have now set up all my devices to use iCloud. In moving iCal to iCloud an extra calendar was created "automatically" in iCal, called "Me". This "Me" calendar contains a partial duplicate of my main calendar, which is called "My Calendar". In fact, some of the events from "My Calendar" seem to have been moved to "Me", and some have been duplicated.
It seems as it I now need to merge the "Me" and "My calendar" calendars to get back to where I was.
I have tried to export one of the calendars and then re-import it into the other. The export seems to work fine, but every single time I try to re-import the ics file iCal crashes at the end of the import process, and the import is not completed.
Can anyone help? This has been driving me absolutely crazy today!
I even tried manually moving events from one calendar to another, but they reappeared. I think this was because my iPhone/iPad were re-syncing via iCloud and overwriting the changes I had just made.
I don't mind if I end up with one calendar with duplicates as I can remove them with iCal Dupe Deleter.
Or if there are any other alternative solutions I'd love to hear them!
All help greatly appreciated!
(P.S. Is it just me, or is Apple software slowly getting as unreliable as Windows used to be? I get more problems with software updates now than when I first got a Mac about 8 years ago!)

Not a great answer but I dragged the attachment either to the finder - app - ical or the icon. It placed it on the calendar. I clicked in and accepted. So, no auto populate. Need to drag and drop. So glad I paid the 20 bucks to upgrade to 10.8

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.
