Importing vcf files into Outlook issue

I have exported some PALM contacts as .vcf files and now I am trying to import them into Outlook. In PALM, I have the business number listed as Main so Outlook doesn't import the number into the business field.
How do I configure Outlook so that it recognizes this as the business number?
Thanks.

I suspect you will need to edit the files, because Outlook's import function does not let you map custom fields when you choose .vcf import. (If the following is too much of a pain, consider exporting in a tabular format such as comma-separated or tab-separated. You can open that file in Excel or a text editor to remove the records you do not want to import into Outlook.)
Can you open one of the .vcf files in Notepad or Wordpad and confirm that the "Main" number is on a line that starts with the following:
TEL;PREF:
If so, then you can use a VBScript to change that to:
TEL;WORK:
so that Outlook will interpret it as a Business number.
I have posted the script file at the following address:
http://jeffersonscher.com/res/MainToBusiness_vbs.txt
The one-time setup is as follows: After inspecting the file to confirm that it doesn't do anything dangerous, you will need to save it to your hard drive with a .vbs extension. Once it is saved in a convenient location, right-click it and create a shortcut. Then move that shortcut into your Send To folder:
c:\documents and settings\username\SendTo
Setup is done. You now can edit the Palm .vcf files by right-clicking, choosing Send To, then the name of your SendTo shortcut. The edited file will appear in the same folder as your .vcf file, with "_edited" added into the original name.
Hope this helps.

How to import .iaf files into Outlook 2011 for mac?

I exported emails from Outlook Express (PC) to .iaf files years ago and now need to access them on a mac. I have downloaded Office for mac 2011 but can't work out how to import them into Outlook 2011.

How to import OLM file into Outlook 2013?

Last week, I switched to Windows 8 PC. It works fine but annoying with email application. Previous email backup file of Outlook 2011 (OLM) file was not supported by Outlook 2013 email application.
Can anyone help to fix this one issue?

Hi Smithazus,
You face failure result due to bad practice of email migration. Before importing any email file in to new email client, please make sure few things as follows:
Similar email file format
Awareness with import process
Safe environment for data safety
Outlook 2013 uses PST file which is different from OLM files. In this context, you are advised to convert OLM files into PST file (Outlook 2013 supported file). As any manual method of such conversion is not available, you can try automated software which is developed by third party vendors.

Importing Archive File into Outlook 2013

We got a couple of new PCs for some users and one of them had an Archive folder in Outlook 2010. I still have the archive.pst file from the old PC and I'm trying to import it into Outlook 2013 but it's not working. It seems pretty straight forward but
after I choose the archive.pst file, it doesn't actually add anything. Am I missing a step?

Hi,
Please do the following steps to copy your archive.pst file to Outlook 2013 and open it:
1. Open Outlook 2010 in your old PC.
2. Click File > Open > Open Outlook Date File.
3. Copy the location of the Archive file from the opening windows(example: C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Outlook Files).
4. Close Outlook 2010, and paste the copied location in Windows Explorer and Enter it.
5. Copy the Archive file. (To double check the file is copied completely, we can paste it in the local old machine and open it to have a test.)
6. Paste the copied Archive file in new PC.
7. Open Outlook 2013 in new PC.
8. Click File > Open&Export > Open Outlook Data File, expand the location of your pasted Archive file and open it.
Then check whether there are any messages in the opened archive folder.

How to import msg files into Outlook with Powershell

Hello,
I want to import contact msg files on the file system into Outllok.
Before I want to delete all contacts in this contact folder.
Can you show me how please.
Frank

# 1 - try to not create lots of interim items as it make it harder to shutdown Outlook.
# 2 - To delete all items in a folder:
      $namespace.GetDefaultFolder(10).Items |%{$_.delete()}
The following code of your makes no sense. What are you trying to do?
$SourceFiles = Get-ChildItem -path "D:\ccc\*" -include *.msg      #-recurse
foreach ($_ in $SourceFiles)
        $x ++
        $MailItem = $_
        $olMailItem = $NameSpace.OpenSharedItem($MailItem)
  [void]$olMailItem.Move($objContactFolder)
This is a better construct:
Get-ChildItem -path "D:\ccc\*" -include *.msg |
     ForEach-Object{
          $nameSpace.OpenSharedItem($_).Move($namespace.GetDefaultFolder(10))
But I don't think it is correct. What are you trying to do?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Importing GPX file into BlackStar issue

This is similar to the Cacheberry issue mentioned elsewhere. I can download the file onto my device just fine. However, I can't get it imported into BlackStar, it counts down from 100%, then just hangs. Have worked with, and received outstanding help from BlackStar, but seems to be isolated problem. Anyone have any ideas? SD card issue?
Thanks

I strongly advise against using MPEG audio files in Encore.
Instead, use an uncompressed WAV or AIF file, and then let Encore transcode it to AC3, which is universally supported by all DVD players (some players can't playback MPA streams). Don't recompress the MPA to AC3 in Encore as MPEG-1 Level 2 compression in MPA is already lossy, and recompressing to AC3 will involve further lossy compression.
If you have a good AC3 encoder, you could also use an AC3 stream in Encore.
But avoid MPEG audio - if not for the reason of the trouble your seeing, then for player compatibility.

How do I import Outlook Express message files into Outlook 2013 without using LiveMail

I bought a new Windows 7 computer and have copied the Outlook Express .dbx files from the old XP computer onto the new one. Outlook 2013 's import facility does not have a .dbx option. I do not want to use Windows Live for anything. How do
I import my Outlook Express mail files into Outlook 2013 ?

Hi,
It isn't only to Outlook 2013, other versions of Outlook cannot access the .dbx files directly.
In the situation, Windows Live Mail is needed to transfer the mail data to Outlook.

Importing Photoshop files into premiere pro CS6 issues

Hi
I recently re-installed Premiere Pro CS6 on my work computer (i changed from a HDD to an SSD). Ever since I did this I am having an issue importing .PSD files into Premiere.
I try and import a photoshop file. The importer window comes up. The progress bar starts to move, then pauses and the Importer says 'Not Responding'. After a few seconds it comes back and throws up the following error:
Error message - 'The importer reported a generic error'
All projects i previously worked on that had .PSD files in them are now reporting these files as 'Media Offline' meaning I have to replace them with .PNG files which is really annoying.
Any ideas what might be happening? The files I am trying to import are RGB .PSD's. They worked previously without any issues.
I have Premiere Pro Version 6.0.5 (001 (MC: 264587))
running on a Windows 7 machine with Service Pack 1, 64 bit OS, 16GB Ram and Intel Core i7-2600
Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with this!

Yes, MXF should play perfectly in PP CS6, but if you can't work this out at this point, you may wrap your MXF video to something intermediate. as a matter of face, Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 seems to work fine if you import your MXF clips directly from a camera or camcorder, but if have already copied MXF recordings your HDD or you downloaded them from somewhere else, the import error may occur.
So i suggest you convert the MXF footage to something mezzanine we would recommend DNxHD.mov (if you are on a PC) or Apple ProRes .mov (if on a mac). those two intermediate codecs are good mezzanine codecs that handle recompression well and standup well in other areas of post-production (color grading, graphics, compositing, etc,). You can see what I wrote about the solution. "Why Premiere Pro CS6 can't import MXF files?" i hope that it is helpful to you.

How to import mailbox files in Outlook 2013??

How do I import Mozilla Thunderbird archived mailboxes in Microsoft Outlook 2013? I used Mozilla Thundebird in Mac book pro earlier, from some time I have been using Windows pc and for some reason I needed to access my older mails that I had archived from Mozilla Thunderbird. How do I import those files in Outlook 2013??
Please help...!!

Thunderbird mails cannot be directly imported into Outlook because of file format compatibility issues. Outlook can import .pst file format, so first we need to convert thunderbird mail to .pst format. This can be done here: http://www.gladwevsoftware.com/thunderbird-to-pst-converter/
After that follow these steps to import the converted pst file in outlook 2013:-
1. Click File > Open & Export > Import/Export.
2. This starts the Import and Export Wizard.
3. Choose Import from another program or file, and then click Next.
4. Choose Outlook Data File (.pst) and click Next.
5. Browse to the .pst file you want to import.
6. Under Options, choose how you want to deal with duplicates
7. Click Next.
8. If a password was assigned to the Outlook Data File (.pst), enter the password, and then click OK.
9. Set the options for importing items. The default settings usually don’t need to be changed.
10. Click Finish.
I hope this helps. thanks

How can I import a file into my Windows Phone 8.1RT App?

Hi All,
I'm running into a bit of an issue associating my app with a custom file type. Users create a file using my app and upload it to their OneDrive for sharing. So I then want to give the users the ability to download the file from a share link and
have that file open automatically in my app. I've got the appropriate declarations set and file type associations, but I'm getting a file access exception when I try to open the file. Whats the best way to import a file into my app? Here's
the code I've got so far:
protected override async void OnFileActivated(FileActivatedEventArgs args)
var path = args.Files[0].Path;
var name = args.Files[0].Name;
StorageFile newFile = await StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync(path);
await newFile.CopyAsync(ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder, name.Substring(0, name.Length - 4));
The path comes back as
C:\Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Packages\microsoft.microsoftskydrive_8weke\LocalState\OpenWithTempFolder\e68c261-db3b-472d-a8b7-93427450\File Name.extension
and the exception is
Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
Clearly I'm trying to access the file in an inappropriate way, so what's the best way to get the file into my app's local storage?

You have the StorageFile in arg.Files[0] already. Just use that rather than getting its path and then trying to create a new StorageFile from it.
var path = args.Files[0].Path; // <= Path is unnecessary and unhelpful
var name = args.Files[0].Name;
await args.Files[0].CopyAsync(ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder, name.Substring(0, name.Length - 4));
See my blog entry Skip the path: stick to the StorageFile for more details.

Import entourage database into Outlook 2011 for mac

I set up a new macbook from a time machine backup. The main identity for entourage was from the original date of install. Unfortunately, I didn't notice that when I did my initial import so it brought in about two e-mails from 2 years ago but not the entire database. I did a new TM backup of the entire database and chose import in Outlook and it appeared to be going but when it indicated it was finished-- nothing new showed up. What did I do wrong?

Moving saved .eml files into Outlook

I have thousands of saved .eml files, to move into Outlook 2010. However - when I drag and drop them into the folders on Outlook 2010 - every file has the "date received" as today's date ( in past scenarios where I've done this - it automatically shows the
original email date).
i.e. - every file moved today - shows October 9th, 2011 as the date received - even though the email may have been from August 2009 for example.
Any thoughts on how to move the eml files into Outlook 2010 - with the original receive dates being displayed.
Thanks for your help.
TmaxPa

Actually - found this info in this forum. Thanks very very much to Diane Poremsky - a lifesaver !
( Essentially - eml files from Windows Mail - need to be converted to .pst in Outlook - then imported into Outlook)
Her info :
Outlook doesn't use EML files. From Windows Mail, use File, Export. Choose Exchange Server (it exports to Outlook). You
will need to be using 32 bit Outlook to do this.

Importing AAF files into Logic Pro 7.1

Hello All:
Have got a number of song sequences that are in the AAF format, complete with associated audio .aif sound files in the same folder.
These AAF files were created on another Logic pro studio, as they had to export them from Pro Tools into AAF .
i am able to IMPORT the sequence arrange with requisite tracks set up, but when the audio files attempt to load, i am prompted by the finder to MANUALLY locate each audio file to enable it to place into the Logic arrange page correctly.
I get the "where is the file"xxxxxB4Wrww.aif" type message, and can see the actual file located in the finder window, but it won't just locate them automatically.
It takes a loooong time to search out in the list each file and then click DONE to enter it!
Then repeat for EACH file name.....jeez.
One song has 78 audio files associated with it!
A local tech guy in a MAC software dealership said this was a continuing problem he had also with AAF in Logic 7.....
Any hints, before i spend 4 mind numbing hours hand-locating
these frikkin files?
Thank you in advance!

Hi All,
I've recently been having problems importing MP3 files into the arrange window. I thought I changed a setting and can't figure out what's up? Also I haven't been able to change my sampling rate to 48K or more. Mind you, I'm in transition right now moving to a different continent and my external drive is stored away so I'm playing and importing from my OS drive.Is that the issue??
Thanks,

Hi Francisco.
Please re-post this as a NEW question. I just went over my last few posts, and here you are, and NO ONE has answered your question in three days. That is not usually the case in this forum.
Cheers
PS please give some details, what actually happens with the mp3 files? what is the actual problem? And also, what sound card / interface are you using?
