Merge from Microsoft Excel to Mac Address Book

I have a .xls file that I need to mail merge and print mailing labels, but only have the trial version of Office, so I cannot print. How can I move this database of names and addresses to Address Book to make a mail merge in Pages?

Menu>File>Import>Text File
Depending on the arrangement of data in the text file and what the delimiter is you may need to fill out a questionnaire about what filed has what data.

  • Transfer address book from M-access to Mac address book

    Hi,
    I have a relatively new MacBook pro 17", and i am new to the whole operating system.
    My old laptop running on Windows XP has all my houses address's for friends and everyone on it stored in Microsoft Access, and i wish to transfer this to the mac addresss book.
    can anyone help me with this?
    I would also like to say that when i have tried opening up the address's in M-Access i have exported them as a .txt file yet Mac Address book does not recognise this.
    I have already also managed to transfer email address's from Microsoft outlook and this worked fine.
    If you know the answer would you mind emailing me to

    MacBook pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2.33ghz 2gb X1600-256vram

    no, from Microsoft access i can not export a text file,
    for some reason it doesn't have this option
    thanks

  • Cannot transfer contacts from iPhone 3GS to Mac Address book

    Hi there
    I've been searching for an answer all over these forums and google, but to no avail.
    I'm using a 3GS and I'm on Snow Leopard on the mac.
    I have tried resetting the sync utility settings and all other tweaks with the phone and the iTunes panels, but I simply cant add any of the numbers that I have added to my phone on to the mac address book. The contacts are transferred to iCloud though. But there is no way to export the iCloud contacts over to the mac address book either. I have to now manually search for all the new contacts I've added (which is a project in itself) and retype it in the mac address book. Pretty ridiculous!!!!!
    Is there a fix for this or is Apple wanting everyone to buy Lion to use the dektop version of iCloud.
    Please let me know
    Thanks
    Best regards

    Hi guys
    Managed to find the solution
    1) On the iPhone go to settings > iCloud > Switch off contacts. (Keep contacts on phone)
    2) Then on the mac go to address book and make an archive of your contacts just in case something goes wrong. You can do this by going to File > Export > Create an archive.
    3) Then delete all the contacts and groups from your mac address book.
    4) Then go to iTunes and backup by right clicking on the iPhone on the sidbar.
    5) Sync
    Your contacts from the phone should repopluate the mac address book
    Hope that helps. It worked for me
    Best regards

  • Moving contacts from Outlook 2007 to Mac Address Book

    Hello all,
    I've tried to email VCard attachments of contacts from an Outlook 2007 / Exchange Server account so I can import them into my MAC Address Book. When I look at my sent folder in Outlook, the attachment shows a VCF attachment. When I pick up the email on my MAC using Mail, the attachment always comes back as WinMail.dat which the Address Book doesn't recognize.
    Furthermore, I've tried sending the VCard to a Yahoo email address and download the attachment. That worked fine.
    Was wondering if someone could help me isolate where the issue may be. Thanks.

    If Outlook Express provides for exporting contacts in vCard format, you can send all contacts as vCard attachments to a message sent to an email account you access with the Mail.app. Save the vCard attachments from the message to a created folder on the Desktop and then use the Address Book import feature selecting vCards.
    If OE does not provide for exporting contacts in vCard format, it should provide for exporting contacts as a tab-delimited text file.
    The Tiger Address Book includes a Text File import selection/option.

  • Address book transfer from Palm 3x to Mac Address Book Lion

    Have a vintage Palm3x synched with a vintage Dell Inspiron 8300 desktop computer using XP.  Recently aquired a Mac Book Pro with the new Lion OS.  Is there any way to transfer the address book and memos from the old machine to the new?  Apple recommended trying to transfer via a flash drive using the .csv format.  When I tried to export the data from the Palm Desktop OS 3.0.1 to the flash drive, I got a message: :  "Export error, *.csv contains an invalid path".  Heard from another source that Palm 3X is incompatible with Lion OS anyway, and to try to export to Microsoft Outlook on the old Dell first and then to attempt to synch with the Mac from Outlook...  
    Any ideas on how this might be done, and if so, what exact steps should I take?  Should I still attempt to sync with Outlook with .csv format? Tried this, but couldn't find the appropriate folder to export to - under the C: drive, there were only about 6 or 8 options, none of which seemed to have anything to do with Outlook.
    Post relates to: Palm IIIx

    I tried going to the application support folder to get the address book to transfer from my iMac with Leopard to my Powerbook with Tiger. It didn't work for me either. So here's what I did and it worked like a charm:
    Select all contacts in each separate group in your address book on your iMac and drag them individually to a thumb or flash drive. This will create a vcard for each of the groups. ( I had 8 groups). Plug the drive into your Powerbook, add the name of each group you are transferring, and drop each group into the proper group on the Address book. This essentially copies each V-Card from one computer to the other. If you have obsolete addresses on your Powerbook, they will be automatically updated. This may be too late to help you, but perhaps someone else may have the same problem.

  • How do I export my Mac address book contacts from OS 10.10 to Excel

    How do I export my Mac address book contacts to an excel spreadsheet?

    Sorry, forgot to test it when I had 10.6 available.
    I don't know that they're interchangeable, but it seems the relevant files & folders are...
    For Address Book, quit AB...
    Files...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
    Folders...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/
    So back those up if you try replacing them, and of course Permissions may or may not need adjusting on the swap.

  • Once Mac address book synched from iphone and contacts deleted they won't resynch back

    I have a problem and have spent hours researching but to no avail
    1. I got a new iphone 4S and put in my mail info from yahoo, gmail and low and behold I had a contact list now in my phone. I thought, "I just love Apple!"
    2. I spent all afternoon on my iphone updating my contact list with contact photos, birthdays and all the stuff I never put in on my email program or my MacPro Leopard mac addressbook.
    3. With trepidation, I synched via usb with itunes my contacts and suddenly I had 3 (or more versions of my contacts on every site or device).  To see what was going on (as I wasn't sure if my mac would erase iphone contacts or add to them etc) I tried putting a test contact "iphone test" on my phone, yahoo test on my yahoo account, and mac test contact on my laptop address book, and gmail test in my gmail's contacts, and synched again.... For the most part every test contact showed up everywhere (not yahoo test in gmail's account mind you)
    4. GREAT I thought. I will just DELETE the contacts in the mac address book, yahoo, gmail accounts, fix my iphone duplicate contacts so I have one perfect set on the iphone and resynch and I should have my iphone contacts filling in all the right places (yahoo, gmail, and mac address book from the iphone) and they will all now be identical... SO WRONG!
    5. None of the prior contacts would sync. Only new contacts will synch (ones that were never before synched, ie, a new iphone test contact WILL show up in my Mac address book but the other 100 won't (apparently the computer knows they were already synced or something.)
    I am now left with all my contacts on my phone and none in my computer! I have synched in itunes about 10 times with "contacts" checked trying different settings for yahoo, gmail but no source will retake my iphone contacts now that it was synced and the mac address book deleted...
    Can anyone help???

    Thanks for your timely response. I really appreciate the heads up on the My Contacts Backup App since when you have gone from 4 copies of contacts to one you are starting to feel insecure...
    Unfortunately, after following this to a "T" (2x) no luck... The mac address book was empty to begin with so I added three new contacts, synched  and then started from there...
    I unchecked the sync box and synched. Deleted 2 of the 3 contacts and checked the "sync contacts"--all contacts (I have no groups). It synched without prompting me for a merge and the new single contact did not show up in the iphone... bummer. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.
    SORRY, I ACCIDENTALLY GAVE MYSELF HELPFUL POINTS AND THEY WERE FOR RANDERS4....

    This information is correct for Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.
    It's also correct for Outlook if the Outlook Calendars where exported in the ics format.

  • Is there a way to transfer contacts from Mac Address Book to an iPhone?

    I tried posting this before but no one answered.  I dont currently have an iphone (or any smartphone).  I do have a Mac and I have my contacts in the Mac Address Book (not in an email client like Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail)
    I want to know if I get an iphone is there an easy way to transfer contacts (names, addresses, emails etc) and especially HOME/WORK/CELL Phone numbers from the Address Book on the Macbook Pro to the iphone.... 
    I would think there's a way to do that since both the Mac and the iphone are Apple products....but no one has been able to give me a straight answer on this...except to transfer contacts from Gmail but my contacts are not in Gmail
    So if I get an iphone (or probably any phone) do I have to manually enter all my contacts each time?  I thought that it would be easier with an iphone than an Android or other smartphone.

    I appreciate the link but wasnt really looking to go through a 100+ page iphone guide.  From what I saw, it said what other people have told me - which is it will sync contacts from Google (Gmail) or Yahoo...so that doesnt mean it will sync contacts directly from an Android phone's contact list.  All the manual said was you sync thru itunes.
    It looks like what I should do at some point is manually input all my contacts into a new "clean and unused" Gmail account...Unless there was an easy way to transfer my Mac Address Book to a Gmail Account.
    It seems like if you have contacts in a Gmail account, it will be easy to transfer anywhere.
    Im starting to wonder if an Android would be bette than an iphone anyway.  Considering the nightmare time Ive had with a Mac in just a few months, Im surprised Im even still considering another Apple product.
    Thanks

  • I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when i try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported

    I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to Mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when I try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported. Any ideas? 
    Thanks,
    Ian

    If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts.  There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

  • Contacts do not sync from Mac Address Book to iPhone

    When I add new contacts in my Mac Address Book or modify existing contacts and then do a sync (using iTunes), the changes do not appear on my iPhone 3GS. Everything else seems to update but not the contacts.
    I have verified that I have sync contacts set, have tried unsetting and resetting it, tried removing all contacts from iPhone and redoing, tried replace contacts with those from computer, etc, etc. Still the same result - the old contacts on the iPhone.
    This seems to be since the latest OS updates (Mac & iPhone). It used to work fine.
    What to do?

    Wjosten,
    Finally back to you on this.  The delay was because the proposed operations were beyond my comfort zone - and I was fearful of loosing my contacts and groups (critically important).
    With more time available, I made an appointment with a "Genius" at the Apple Store (Paris Opera).  He could not fix it but gave me the good advice to contact Mobile Me and set up a chat support session.
    It took several hours but the chat support person guided me through the process of saving my data, and then trashing the files in the cache and library folders and a few others, and finally restoring things - group by group.
    Part of the problem was also conflicts between the calendars on my two MacBook Pros, my iPhone, and MobilMe.
    Long and complicated but things are now working.
    Thanks for trying to help.

  • How do I move contacts from phone to Mac Address Book

    I just bought an iPhone 4 and they moved my contacts from my Blackberry to the iPhone OK.

  • Transfer contacts from Mac Address Book to PC Outlook

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone knows how to transfer from Mac Address Book to Outlook on a PC? I have tried exporting the list as a .CSV, then importing it, however it only imported 1 contact, not the rest that were saved on the vcard. Your help is very much appreciated!!! Thanks
    Josh

    Address Book does not export a .CSV file. I twill export a vCard file, however, by selecting all of your contacts from the contact list then drag it all to the Desktop. You will end up with a single file containing all the vCards in your AB database. Now, if your PC version of Outlook can import a vCard file then you're all done. If not, then you have some work ahead of you. You can find another PC mail application that can import vCards and export an Outlook compatible file or try one of the following:
    AddressBook to CSV Exporter
    Lustro
    vCard Exporter
    Export Address Book
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
