Is it possible to create a contact from information in a spreadsheet?

I have a numbers spreadsheet with name, address, phone numbers, email address, etc. for 100 people. Is it possible to create cards in my Contacts without retyping the information?

Well, this is much easier than I thought.
As long as you have a Numbers file structured as follows:
(you can have more info, i.e 2nd tel# email, etc)
In Numbers, File->Export to->CSV FIle
Then in Contacts, all you need to do is File->Import, and select the csv file,
and you'll be given a choice of how to fill in the data to Contacts:
First, Backup (Contact->File->Export...->Contacts Archive), so if somthig goes wrong with the import, you can start over at square one.

  • Exchange 2003 - bulk create smtp contacts from user objects, bulk forward to smtp contacts, bulk turn off forwarding

    Exchange 2003 running on Windows server 2003.  ~50 Users all in same OU on same domain with primary email address [email protected]  objective is to create smtp contacts from each of the user objects imported back into the same domain in
    a different OU with mail, targetAddress, proxyAddresses/SMTP on the contacts being [email protected] and the options 'automatically update email addresses based on recipient policy' disabled and hidden from GAL for all.   At a later time will require
    a method to bulk forward all of the user objects to their corresponding  [email protected] contact object and a way to to bulk disable the forwarding at a later time.   
    ldifde created the contacts via export/import but Exchange seems to like rewriting the mail & proxyaddresses  or replacing domain2.com with one of the internal recipient policy domains requiring manual change in AD.
    ldifde -f export-01.ldf -s dc1.domain1.com -d "OU=Users,OU=people,DC=domain1,DC=com" -r "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(givenname=*))" -l "cn,givenName,objectclass,samAccountName,mail,physicalDeliveryOfficeName,displayName,name,description,sn,targetAddress"
    ldifde -i -f import-test-01.ldf -s dc1.domain1.com
    I'm then using ADModify.net to bulk modify hide from address lists attribute and correct the mail, targetaddress, proxyaddress attributes, possibly forwarding as well.  The process is clunky compared to something like powershell on Exchange 2010. 
    Am I going about this the wrong way?

    users will remain on the domain.  decommissioning or altering access to the old mailboxes until some point post-migration would be unwanted so there's a fallback method in case anything goes wrong.  until testing reveals a better method, the strategy
    for Exchange 2003 / Server 2003 environment will remain as is for now using ldifde export of select user object attributes followed by ldifde import of select attributes to contact objects, followed by admodify.net / admodcmd updating of the necessary mail/exchange
    attributes via %’mailNickName’% similar to what's described below to forward internal mail to the external host.

  • Is it possible to create an activity from the Agenda?

    Hi Experts,
    We noticed that it's possible to create a note from SSC1 Tcode but not an activity.
    When we create an activity (appointment), it appears in the agenda but  we can't manage to create it from the agenda.
    Is there any possibilities ?
    Many Thanks
    Laurent

    Hi,
    You can create the activity by double clicking on appointment calendar.
    Go to Tcode : crmd_order and select calendar tab.Double click on any time of the calendar and select the appropriate transaction type for activity.
    Then you will be able to create the activity.
    If helpful kindly reward me.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Is it possible to not have contacts from an iphone show up on all devices in icloud account

    is it possible to not have contacts from an iphone show up on all devices

    Yes. If they have different iCloud accounts or if Contacts is not turned on in Settings>iCloud.

  • How To Add Additional Fields When Creating New Contact From w/in Mac Mail?

    Hi there. When in Mac Mail and clicking on contact information provided within an email, we are able to either (1) CREATE NEW CONTACT or (2) ADD TO EXISTING CONTACT (by clicking on the arrow next to a phone number, address, etc.). If I choose "Create New Contact," how can I add additional fields BEFORE clicking on "Add to Address Book" button in lower right corner? Let's say, for example, I know this new contacts URL or company. (Currently, I am creating the new contact from within Mac Mail and then going to Address Book and finding the contact, then editing, the adding the additional fields, then saving, and then going back to Mac Mail. This all takes time.)
    Note: When creating a new iCal event from within Mac Mail, we can click on Option/Alt key when selecting drop-down arrow...and this will allow us to add additional information. The same feature isn't available for address book???

    I have the exact same question and problem. If there was a way to automatically open the AB entry after "creating new contact" this would solve it.
    Thanks for any suggestion

  • Missing contact when "create new contact" from email or number

    I am having a really strange problem on my iPhone and think it will be a fun mystery to solve. Please help me!
    It is currently set up with google so that my mail/notes are using gmail IMAP and my contacts/calendars are using Google Sync. So far it's been working pretty well except for all the known many bugs and issues (please fix these, google!). I have no other email, calendar, or contact accounts set up (not even syncing with my computer).
    I received an email from a friend who I did not yet have a contact for, so in the email header I clicked her name and chose to "Create new contact." As usual, the email address was already in the "email" field, so I just edited her name and filled out the "company" field and pressed Done. The "from" field in the email updated to show that the contact had been added to my phone and that it recognized the email as being from her.
    Now, I go to add a number to her contact and when I navigate through my contacts list, her name is no where to be seen. I've tried searching through the contacts by using the search bar at the top of both the Phone and the Contacts apps, but nothing shows up. However, when I compose an email and start typing her address, it recognizes her as a contact. Even weirder, I just tried the entire phone search spotlight feature, and it found her contact right away, as if it were any normal contact. When I click on it, it brings me to her contact page, which I cannot edit, and when I press the little left arrow "Contacts" in the top left of the screen to go back to the whole listing, she's not there!
    When I go to add contacts using the little + symbol in the top right of the phone app, it works normally and the contact appears as usual. But every time I try to do a new contact from email, this happens! Choosing to "update existing contact" works fine, though. So I've been forced to create an empty contact with her name in the Phone app, and then add the email to it.
    Please help my find where in my phone this contact is residing, and how to bring it out so I can find it. I have tried force-quitting the relevant apps from the multi-task dock, and even turning off and on my phone, but to no luck.
    Update: Just tried creating a new contact from a phone number I've previously dialed and the same thing happens! Where are my contacts going?? This is so weird!
    Not sure if this is just a google sync issue, but I figured I'd post it in case other people are having similar issues
    Device: Apple iPhone 4
    Carrier: AT&T
    Country / Language: USA English
    OS: iOS 4

    I recently experienced a similar event. I was adding from Contacts "+" button on the iPhone 4. I completed entering the data & hit "done". I went back to add a photo. I hit "done" & went to test the result. No new contact. Search did not find it. Tried two more times with different contacts. Same result.
    At one point, the "All Contacts" directory went blank. Nothing. Seconds later the contacts returned. Scary. I rebooted the iPhone. No new contacts but old ones fine.
    I then entered with an old iPhone on OS 3.2 same data. Showed quickly via MobileMe. On the new iPhone added photo the photo. All OK. From an iPad, OS3 I did the same. Added photo in new phone. All OK. I added from the new iPhone including photo. All OK.
    The iPhone IOS4 reboot may be the answer. Wish I had tried older systems before reboot.

  • Can't create new contacts from email message

    I get an email message that has a phone number in it and of course an email address. I want to create a new contact. I hold down on the phone number and a dialog appears asking if I want to add to contacts. I select it and press Create New Contact. I type in a name. I click Done. The dialog disappears. I go to Contacts and there is no entry. Is this supposed to work?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    This solved it. Don't know why. Shouldn't be like this. When I searched for it, the file appeared. Not only it it appear but my three other attempts appeared as well. All four of them are in Contacts. That's a bit wacked I think.
    Thanks very much.
    Wait it gets better. I went back to the email. Clicked the email address to save it. Selected Add to existing contact. Found the contact. Added it. Click Done, and the name is gone again from the Conatcts directory. Used the search function again, and it reappeared.
    But there's more. Left the phone app. Came back to it and the name is gone again. Apparently every time I want this name I have to add it by searching in Spotlight, and of course it's not updating iCloud so it's never going to get back to my computer.
