Issue importing contacts through vCard file into ICloud

I have an issue with importing contacts through a vCard file into ICloud. It keeps on saying importing at the bottom of the file but nothing changes. I did check the file and imported it into my gmail account and there is no problem there.
Does anybody know what the issue could be?
Thank you.

Some portions of Apple's cloud services have ben temporarily offline recently. I'd recommend traying again in a day, and perhaps using another browser if it still isn't working. The best way is to import them into the address book application on a mac (which would sync them to icloud), but if you don't have one, then just try those other things.

Copying contacts from .pst file into iCloud

What would be the easiest way to copy contacts from a Microsoft Outlook 2003 .pst file to iCloud, of not by synchronizing?
I am able to open the file with Microsoft Outlook 2003 and see, change and add the contacts. Synchronizing does not work.

Hello Mr. Churchill,
I'm hoping you could help me based on your suggestion for Howard919. I downloaded my Yahoo contacts into a vCard but then it would not upload into icloud.com. I keep getting error messages. Could you please help me?
Thanks

Script to import contacts from CSV file into Address Book

Hi,
I am wondering if it would be possible to import contacts from a CSV file into a group in Address Book using applescript, and if so, if anyone is aware of a script that does this or something similar.
I have a CSV file with three columns 'First Name', 'Last Name' and 'Email Address'. I would like these to correspond with 'First', 'Last' and (Work) 'Email' in Address Book.
Ideally the script would also check to see if entries already exist for the people being imported, but this is less crucial.
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Nick

Hi,
Test this on a very small csv file (four or five contacts) to see if it works for you. It will not de-duplicate. You don't give the name of the group, so you'll need to replace Name of group in the second line with your group name, enclosed in double quotes.
--begin script
set the_people to read (choose file with prompt "Choose your CSV file")
set the_group to "Name of group"
set old_tids to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ","
set par_count to (count paragraphs in the_people)
repeat with x from 1 to par_count
          set next_par to paragraph x of the_people
          set first_name to text item 1 of next_par
          set last_name to text item 2 of next_par
          set e_mail to text item 3 of next_par
          tell application "Address Book"
                    set nu_person to make new person with properties {first name:first_name, last name:last_name}
make new email at end of emails of nu_person with properties {label:"Work", value:e_mail}
                    add nu_person to group the_group
save
          end tell
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to old_tids
--end script
Watch out for bad line breaks in the lines beginning "set nu_person..." and "make new email..."

Import contacts by VCF file?

Trying to import my huge amount of PalmOS contacts into my Peak, there seems to be no way of opening/importing a .vcf file into FFOS "contacts". Could this be accomplished by any other way? If not, is it a difficult coding effort to enable "contacts" to read (composed) .vcf files?
You know, nobody wants to enlist on facebook just to transfer their contacts to FFOS...

there's an app in the marketplace to directly import contacts from vcard files: https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/vcardin

Issue importing .abbu backup and syncing to iCloud

Here's the issue:
I accidently deleted some information I needed in my address book. I thought everything would be okay because I could just import the backup .abbu file I recently exported. I tried to import the .abbu file and it looked okay for about 3 seconds. Then, all of my conacts disappeared! I scowered the internet and found other people have had similar issues.
I struggled to find a way to fix this or at least find a workaround. Needless to say, I did find a workaround, but it's very time consuming. I'm posting on this board to see if anyone knows what the real issue is here. I have already conacted apple support and they basically gave me the same workaround I came up with. They weren't able to provide me with a straight answer.
Here's my workaround for people having issues with importing their .abbu backup:
1. Disconnect from the internet to prevent icloud from trying to sync.
2. Import your backup .abbu file (which will import perfectly)
2. You have to drag and drop all of your groups individually onto your desktop to export them in the vcard format.
3. Once you do this, delete all of the contacts in your address book
4. Then, create a new group and name it after one of your old groups you exported into a vcard.
5. Drag and drop the appropriate vcard file into the group. Do this for all of the remaining groups.
6. Connect to the internet and everything will sync again.
This is a very tedious process since I have about 20 groups. The SENIOR apple support guy basically told me this is how I should backup my address book and not to delete large amounts of contacts if I didn't want them restored easily. This solution makes no sense to me.
My question is this: What's the point of backing up an .abbu file if it can't import it back in and have it sync to iCloud with all of my groups? I thought that was the way it was supposed to work.
If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be most appreciated.

There is actually a solution that will require less overall work if you have a lot of groups. The basic strategy is to get the system to copy everything with groups intact to the On My Mac contacts, and then pull everything back into iCloud. That effectively updates all the timestamps and gets around iCloud not wanting to import old contacts.
1) DISCONNECT ALL NETWORK CONNECTIONS - ethernet, WiFi, everything.
2) Create a new account on your Mac, so you have a fresh Address Book with nothing in it. (Note that the new account shouldn't have any passwords in the keychain, so disconnecting from the network is just a safety precaution. If it asks for a password, hit 'cancel.' You don't want to connect to iCloud until the end.)
3a) If using a .abbu backup, copy the .abbu file that has your iCloud contacts to the new account. Double click the .abbu file to restore all the contacts.
3b) If you're attempting to restore from a file level backup solution, replace the ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder from your backup. Make sure the user id matches, and change it if necessary.
4) Open the Contacts application. You should see everything as it was at the time the backup was created. If you have other accounts besides iCloud that you're not having issues with, you can remove them using Contacts->Preferences...->Accounts. And if there is anything in On My Mac that you don't want pulled into iCloud, you should remove those entries now. If asked whether you want to keep contacts on your Mac, just delete them. To restore iCloud cleanly, you ONLY want iCloud contacts from this point forward.
5) At this point, if you want to, you can export to a .abbu file as a checkpoint so that if something goes wrong, you can start over without having to clean things up again.
6) Under Contacts -> Preferences... -> Accounts, delete the iCloud account. You will be asked if you want to delete contacts or keep them. Click KEEP CONTACTS! This makes a copy on the local system, under My Contacts, complete with the all of the group information intact.
7) Reconnect your Mac to the network if you disconnected it at step 1.
8) If you're going for a clean restore, and you're happy with exactly what is in the On My Mac contacts, log into iCloud through a web interface. Make sure all contacts AND groups have been deleted from iCloud. (If empty groups are in there, they'll still be there looking like duplicates. If you have a lot of groups, start by clicking the last one, hit delete, hit return, hit delete, hit return... repeat until they are gone.)
9) Add your iCloud account back to Contacts. It will attempt to merge all contacts. Since you only have a pristine copy in On My Mac with all of the group information, it will look exactly as it did at the time of the backup when you are done.
Now when you go back to your regular account, or your iPhone, etc.; your iCloud contacts should be restored after synchronizing.
I had 34 groups, and this saved me a lot of time over trying to work with .vcf files. It also ensures an exact restore, instead of accidental duplicates if you have contacts in multiple groups.

How to Import AVCHD 1080/60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7?

How do I import AVCHD 1080 / 60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7? And if there is no direct way [I certainly haven't found one, but I'm no expert], what additional software would be used? I want to import the files from a Panasonic HDC-HS700 onto an Intel Mac laptop [Mac OSX 10.5.8]? Obviously I don't want to compress & compromise my footage.
I’m sure a simple, straightforward series of steps would help many people with this issue.
Thanks!

Thanks for the response!
I'm guessing you've found ClipWrap2 to be better than competing products [such as AVCHD Converter for Mac, Toast Titanium, or Voltaic].
On to the next steps. Using Clipwrap2, would I leave the checkbox "Convert Audio to LPCM" selected or deselected [and what the heck is LPCM?]. In the pulldown menu would I choose "Rewrap (Don't alter video samples)" or do I save a step by choosing "Apple ProRes 422"?
And finally, am I gaining anything by shooting 1080/60p on this Panasonic HD Camera other than a headache? [Some have suggested this is not a True 60p.]

how do I import contacts to microsoft office from icloud?

Microsoft Office is not a problem, you have the license key for it so it's just a matter of getting it installed and using the old key.
If you have a newer OS X verison that won't run the older Office version, then usually there is a upgrade fee to install the newer, more compatible Office version.
You can't use the old verison copied to the new drive, it's copy protected and you won't get all the parts anyway.

How do I import Map Info Tab files into Spatial for a map of europe?

How do I import Map Info Tab files into Spatial for a map of europe via FME and have oracle spatial draw the map without problems?
So far I've got to the stage where I can import the data, spatially index it (in oracle 9i) and get my SVG (scaleable vector graphics) application to view the map.
The problem is that countries that have more than one polygon (more than one row in the database) do not draw properly.
When I view the Map Info tab file in the FME viewer I can see that the data is fine, but I can also see that some of the polygons used to draw a country are donugts and some aren't.
This seems to cause a problem when I import the data into oracle spatial as I don't know if a row in the table needs to be inserted as an independent SDO_GEOMETRY or if it should form part of a larger SDO_GEOMETRY (as in 2 or more rows make up the polygon shape for a country).
I have a feeling that I'm not using FME correctly, because at the moment I have to import the tab file into Oracle then re-insert the data into a spatially formatted table (one with a spatial index) - I get the impression that FME should do that for me but as I'm new to this I don't really know.
Any Help welcome :|
Tim

Tim,
MapInfo has a free utility called EasyLoader that allows you to upload a table directly to Oracle. EasyLoader creates the geometries and spatial index. You can download it free from http://www.mapinfo.com/products/download.cfm?ProductID=1044

Import a 10g DMP file into a 9.2.0.5 instance

Is it possible to import a 10g DMP file into a 9.2.0.5 instance? Thanks
in advance for your thoughts.

No, do NOT run the catexp.sql from 9i in your 10g db! That was only a valid method with Oracle 6/7 and Oracle 7/8!
Just use the Oracle 9.2 version of exp to create the dumpfile from the 10g database. You can use SQL*Net to connect to the 10g db from your 9.2 server connecting like system/manager@tnsname. Then use 9.2 imp to import the dumpfile into your 9.2 db.
If you have access to Metalink please refer to the following note for full details on compatibility between Oracle releases for exp/imp: 132904.1
