Mav Contacts does not import csv file

Trying to import my Outlook exchange contacts to Mavericks Contacts.  Exported from outlook to excel. Saved excel file to csv format.  Tried to import csv file to Mavericks Contacts:  Error message says the csv file is not compatible.  Also imported the csv file to Numbers and saved again as another csv file.  Same error message.  Suggestions?

The following was copied from the Contacts Help.
Import contact information saved or exported from other apps. The files can be in LDAP Interchange Format (LDIF) or text format (tab-delimited or comma-separated value (CSV)).
If you’re importing a tab-delimited or CSV file, make sure it’s formatted correctly using a text editor such as TextEdit.
Remove any line breaks within a contact’s information.
Make sure that fields in a tab-delimited file are separated by a tab, instead of by another character. Don’t include spaces before or after tabs.
Make sure that fields in a CSV file are separated by a comma, instead of by another character. Don’t include spaces before or after commas.
Make sure all addresses have the same number of fields. Add empty fields as needed.
In Contacts, choose File > Import, select the file, change the encoding if necessary, then click Open.
If you’re importing a text file, review the field labels.
If the first card contains headers, make sure the headers are correctly labeled or marked “Do not import.” Any changes you make to this card are made to all cards in the file. To not import the headers card, select “Ignore first card.”
To change a label, click the arrows next to the label and choose a new label. If you don’t want to import a field, choose “Do not import.”

  • IPhoto does NOT import " .pictClipping " files ?

    Hi,
    I copied pictures of artists from Amazon on the Web and put them together with the songs in iTunes Artwork. So far so good.
    I wanted to import these pics in iPhoto. I dragged them on the desktop en tried to import them via iPhoto 'Add to library'.
    Didn't work. iPhoto does NOT import " .pictClipping " files.
    What did I do wrong ? What can I do ?
    How can I get these pics in iPhoto ?
    Thanks for some light in my darkness...

    Hi JOhn,
    Dragging the album cover out of iTunes either by the album art window or by the "get info" window will just give you a clipping file that cannot be opened by a graphic program. It is just a clipping that Finder will open.
    Did you download the images from Amazon and save them to your hard drive, or did you copy/paste them from Amazon to iTunes song "get info" window?
    If you just did a copy.paste, then I suggest you go back to Amazon and download the images to your hard drive. then import into iPhoto. There might be some third party programs that will download the art while your songs are playing on iTunes to make it easier for you. they usually put them on a folder on your hard drive somewhere.
    there's even an Applescript program to export your artwork from iTunes and copy it to an image file at a specified location.

    There are all kinds of ways of doing this so search around Version Tracker for "itunes album art" for other programs to make it easier for you.

  • Lightroom 4 does not import RAW files from D610

    I've just purchased Nikon D610, and my Lightroom 4 is not importing RAW files anymore. What is the problem?

    The current version of LR 5 is 5.7 so I’d guess LR 6 will be out at some point later this year, in the next few months.  If money’s no object then upgrade to LR 5, now and to LR 6 in a few months.  If you’ll be very upset to learn you’ve paid $80 to upgrade and then need to pay another upgrade fee for LR 6 then maybe wait and do the DNG thing for a few months, and then upgrade from LR4 to LR6.
    The other concern is whether your OS is new enough.  I’d suggest you download the latest LR 5.7.1 update and run that in trial mode for a few weeks—you have 30 days, to make sure your computer can handle it, before spending the money and finding out you need a new computer, first.
    The other thing to consider is the $10/month Photography Plan subscription which gets you the most up-to-date versions of Lightroom and Photoshop as long as you keep paying.  Since you have your old LR4 serial number, you can decide to cancel the subscription after a year and use the LR4 serial number to buy the LR 6 upgrade, then.  This assumes that LR 6 will be available as a serial-number-licensed product, still.
    The latest LR 5.7.1 update is here:

    The lens profiles added to each version are listed here:

  • ITunes does not import certain files

    Hi everyone,
    I had to reinstall my WinXP system and therefore also reinstalled iTunes (v9.0.3.15). Now, when I imported my whole MP3 directory, iTunes did not import some albums without displaying any error message. When I realized that some albums are missing, I tried to import them using drag&drop from the Windows Explorer, using the "File-Import file", "File-Import directory" (or whatever these menu items are called in english...), but nothing works! iTunes simply does... NOTHING. No error, no file imported, no action at all.
    The files are fairly typical MP3 files: 192 kbps, 44kHz, ID3v1, ID3v2 both present, no DRM... And the most weird fact is: on my old WinXP system (same machine, but slightly older iTunes version) iTunes did import the files without problems!
    I have no clue why iTunes won't import them. Does anybody else have an idea?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    gehho.

    Hi ed2345,
    thanks a lot for proposing the MP3 Validator! This fixed my problem. For others having a similar problem: I used this software: http://www.gromkov.com/faq/repair/mp3_validator.html
    However, I must say that I am really annoyed about iTunes and Apple. I mean, what kind of design is it when you say: "We do not accept slightly invalid files, although every other player accepts them. And most important: We do not display an error message to the user, so that he/she has to find the problem him/herself! Ha!" This is really extremely bad user experience, and I always thought Apple was known for their innovative path, especially regarding user experience. Pfff...
    There are sooo many other things that annoy me; I think I will not buy any Apply product anymore. In my eyes, they have even overtaken Microsoft in being the most user-unfriendly company on the market:
    1) You HAVE to use iTunes to copy files on your iPod instead of just using the iPod as a USB drive. What is this for??? It's just to promote their stupid iTunes which again introduces new problems.
    2) iTunes obviously does not accept ID3v1 tags. It just displays all my MP3s which only have v1 tags as "Unknown". Come on, every other MP3 software supports ID3v1, why does not iTunes???
    3) The import process in iTunes is such a hassle. Instead of being able to observe a directory for new files, you have to add every single new album manually. Of course, only after you validated it... Moreover, you cannot add multiple directories at once using the menu options - you have to do it with drag&drop; and it took me some time to try that.
    4) EDIT: Another point just came to my mind: When importing a whole directory, iTunes is stupid enough to add all files once again, instead of just adding the new files. Therefore, you really have to know which album is missing in iTunes because otherwise you will have lots of files twice or three times or hundred times.
    OK, that's enough for now. I am just really pi**ed off because I was playing around with those "invalid" files for about 5 hours. Might also be that it's me who's the stupid one - if so, please tell me. But from a company like Apple, I expect a software which is easily handled even by absolute newbies, and I would not call me a newbie...
    Anyway, have a nice day everyone, and happy validating!
    Thanks again to ed2345! The comments above were not meant for you! It just came out of my fingers... Btw: As you asked my to pick my interpretation... I would pick "INCOMPETENT" - completely!

  • Aperture does not import all files in folder.

    I have a folder with 3460 images.  They are a combination of NEF, TIF, and PSD and xmp files.
    When it was finished importing it said it had imported the 3460 images; however, there are only 3278 images showing.
    I tried starting a new library, and importing the same folder again.  Again, I got 3278 images.
    If I use the Finder and go to the folder, it shows 3496 files; however, 36 of those are .xmp files.
    Any idea how I can check to see which files are not importing?  Or what I can do to get these 182 files in Aperture?
    Many thanks for any help.

    Could be just chasing a ghost, but at least we'll know we don't have to capture it.  Let's do two things to determine how many Images Aperture thinks are in the Library.
    1.)
    Select the container "Photos" listed near the top of the Library Inspector.
    Clear the filter.  (In Browser view, click the magnifying glass icon _inside_ the search field, and select "Show all" from the dropdown menu.)
    Deselect all.  ("Edit ▹ Deselect All".)
    Expand all Stacks.  ("Stacks ▹ Open all Stacks".)
    What does Aperture report in the bottom border of the Browser?  Should be something like "1234 items displayed".
    2.)
    Close Aperture.
    "{option}+{click}" the Aperture Dock icon.  (Hold {option} down until the dialog shows up.)
    Select your Library from the list.
    What does Aperture report below the list of Libraries (you may have only one Library in the list)?  Should be something like "1234 versions, 1234 originals".

  • ITunes does not import WMA files

    I have iTunes 9 for Mac and it is not importing the sound files I have in WMA. Is there any setting I should activate so the conversion is automatically?
    I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!

    iTunes for Mac will not add and automatically convert WMA files, that function is only available with iTunes for Windows. On the Mac you need to convert the files prior to importing them, you could have a look at something like EasyWMA or Switch audio converter. These will let you convert the files to an iTunes compatible format:

  • Premiere Pro CS4 does not import EX1 files longer than 1 hour

    I had to record a long speech and used a Sony XDCAM HD EX1 camera with a 32 Gb and a 16 Gb SXS cards. The speaker paused after 1h 26 min. I stopped the recording and waited until the green light that allows recording the segment came on. Later I recored smaller segments.
    I copied all the recorded files to the PC hard disk ( Intel Quad Core 2.4 Ghz with 3.25 GB RAM with XP Proofessional SP3).
    I used Sony Clip browser to watch the clips and all of them were perfect. Then I opened premiere Pro CS4 4.21 and I wanted to import this 27 GB file. In the media browser appeared only one mp4 file. All the short ones where imported normally but the big one freezed premiere and the only way to close premiere was with the windows task manager.
    I checked again in the Sony XDCAM clip browser version 2.6 and you can see it perfectly. There was a detail, though: in the lower part of the preview window I saw 6 marks. When I checked the file in the disk, I found that the 27 Gb file was separated in 7 parts. Each of them was 3.51 Gb and the last one 2.5 Gb. That means that the file was cut in pieces that were less than 4Gb supposed max file lenght.
    I tried many ways to import and no result. The I used the "export " of the sony clip browser. There is one choice that is "MXF for XDCAM HD". When I chose this item another panel appeared and showed a 1440 X 180 59.94i 25Mbps choice. I took it and after some time it created the 27 Gb file that I could import it normally with 4 audio tracks. But there is a drawback a "media concept" logo appeared to remeber to "buy" the program.
    Anyhow, the question is: How can I import to Premiere CS4 a MP4 file created by a Sony EX1 HD camera whose lenght is more that 1 hour long ?
    Thanks
    Wolfgang

    I think  is the contrary because the clip browser copies all the foleders needed. I got this opinion from another forum that copies into Final Cut:
    "My workflow is to create a hard drive folder for the project, then use Clip Browser to import the clips from the card. I review the clips, labelling them, adding logging notes, setting the status and putting in essence marks as needed (the number of characters available for the essence mark description is fairly limited). I then open FCP, create and save a new project then call up XDCAM Transfer. I select the project folder and it will pull in all the clips. I then filter for OK status, occasionally create subclips then import. The clips come over to the bin, with their names and with the essence marks converted to markers. Obviously there are backups taken - I've not mentioned them."

  • "Import folder to library function" does not import all files

    Has anyone ever had this problem importing a music folder into the library? All of my music is in the iTunes music folder on my PC which is networked to my laptop. I have been trying t import that folder into iTunes on my laptop but have not been able to get everything to import.
    There are approx 35,000 songs in the folder and each time I try to import it, I get a different number (Usually less than 24,000 songs).
    Does anyone know if there is a size limitation to the library?

    To make it go a little faster, drag and drop the folders into the open iTunes window rather than using Add Folder to Library. That way you can do multiple folders at a time.
    Within Windows, CTRL-click to select multiple folders, and then drag them into the open iTunes window.

  • Does not import my files despite it saying that it imported everything

    Hi everyone,
    my problem is confusing. Everytime that I try importing a tape directly from my camera it will go through, but in the end only 2 minutes up to 10 will be imported properly, The rest doesnt get imported. how do i fix this?

    Don't feel too bad.  If the D4S has as many menus and custom functions as my Canon 5D Mark iii its easy to get messed up.
    If you downloaded from the link I gave you it will be Lr 5.4.   The link was just to show you when the D4S was supported.  The newest version is 5.7.1 and can be downloaded here.  Don't know your OS so you will have to pick Windows or Mac.   Product updates
    On my Mac I just run the downloaded installer program (its a full version and not an small update) and it installs the new version and erases the old version.  If you are on Windows you will have to get help from a windows person. 

  • Aperture does not import jpg:s from certain files.

    After reassembled all the programs to a new hard drive in Mac Pro, Aperture does not import certain files with .jpg -photos. Earlier it has succeeded. Changing the photo location does not help. Nor importing as projects. Files are visible when asking to import but the thumbs are not seen on Aperture window.

    , I see only the file, where these photos are, not the photo names or thumbs inside the file (Aperture import path).
    You mean in the Aperture Import panel the folder, where the jpegs should be, is empty?
    Then you may have excluded jpegs from import in your "Import Settings".
    Check the above settings in the "Import Settings" options in the "Import Window". I.e-make sure the Raw+Jpeg Pairs option is set to "Both", even if you do not import raws.
    After reassembled all the programs to a new hard drive in Mac Pro
    Is this new Harddrive your system volume? And are the jpegs you wat to import located on this drive? Or are the on another external volume? If yes, how is this volume formatted?
    Have you checked the permissions and ownership of the jpegs?

  • Looking for a Notes app that I can import CSV files into?

    As the title says, I'm looking for a good notes application for my iPhone that I can import CSV files into. I have tried both Appigo and Notespark, but I can't easily scroll through them, as I have 2,000+ notes. Is there any app that I can import my notes into and also scroll through quickly? I'd like something that works similarly to how you scroll through songs on the iPhone/iTouch, with the column on the right where you can skip to songs (notes, in this case) that start with a certain letter.
    Thanks!

    Hi Tx Tar Heel,
    I've been using Office2HD: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/office2-hd/id364361728?mt=8
    Its cheaper than Numbers and it also works for Word and PowerPoint files too. I like the Dropbox integration. I can start on my Office docs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) in the office and then edit those files with Office2HD when I'm out of the office. Files saves right back to Dropbox so that when I get back to the office the files are already updated. Not bad for a $7.99 app!
    Hope this helps!
