Moving outlook contacts to address book???

Hi,
Can someone please explain to me, step by step, how to move my outlook contacts to address book? The instructions found in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304721
don't work at all.
I have downloaded the app from littlemachines.com, but in these steps, I cannot locate where my contacts are, and therefore I cannot export them.
I have a USB stick with my contacts on, but these are file format .msg and cannot be imported into address book.
Please someone help me out.
Thanks! Any help is much appreciated.

Take a look here. Everyone, except me, seem to have great success with this.

  • Convert Outlook Contacts to Address Book - Help

    I am trying to convert Outlook Contracts to Snow Leopard Mac Address Book. I have been successful in converting and importing all contacts, but contacts with multiple e-mail addresses in Outlook Contacts only imported one e-mail per contact. My source file that I am using to import into MAC Address Book is a vCard file. I created the vCard file two different ways. First I tried Sperry Softward Add-In for Outlook. Next I tried importing the Sperry Softward source file into Google G-Mail Contacts. It imported into G-Mail successfully (multiple emails per each contact sucessfully imported). I then exported from G-Mail to create a new source file and imported the new file into MAC Address Book. It again, did not work.
    Any thoughts? Thanks <D

  • Outlook 2011 problem syncing contacts with address book

    I am aware that Lion has broken the sync ability of Outlook 2011 with Address Book. Hopefullly this will be fixed at some point.
    So my problem is that I have decided to use a workaround to get my Address Book contents into Outlook 2011. I am not concerned with further syncing at this point. I just want to get my addresses into Outlook and hope a better fix is offered at some point.
    About the only way I could figure out how to do this was to export my Address Book as vCard. I then imported the vCard file into Gmail and then exported that as a CSV file. It contained 550 addresses. I opened it in Excel and it contained 550 rows. Great so far.
    I then Imported into Outlook 2011 and chose import a text file. When the mapping window opened, it showed over 890 files instead of 550 and the fields were not mapped correctly. I could not complete the import because it was so screwed up.
    So I'm back to square one and very frustrated. There must be others who have the same issue and maybe have figured out a way to do this. Please help.

  • Since "upgrading" to OS X Lion Outlook 2011 sync services appear not to work and I have no contacts in Address Book apart from me!  Any ideas please?

    Sync Services in Outlook 2011 appear not to work in OS X Lion as I have no contacts in Address Book apart from me!  Any ideas please?

    I had all my contacts deleted one day from muy address book.   The Apple folks said that at times when MS Office sends an update it moves all your contacts from the address book to Outlook contacts.  I had to get into Time Machine to restore my contacts in the address book. 
    If you do this, be sure to update each group, not just the all contacts group because pulling up all contacts will not restore the contacts to the groups you had.
    If you sync with Moble Me, be careful to replace what is on Mobile Me with what is on your comptuer after you are finished restoring the contacts to your satisfaction.
    I haven't switched to iCloud yet so I can't talk about syncing to it.

  • 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

    Thanks,

    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.

  • How to delete ALL contacts in Address Book 10.6.3.(1091) in Macbook?

    I made no effort ever to add the contents of my iPhone to my Macbook. Ever. Right now in my Skype app that I have only Just downloaded have I just found ALL of my iPhone contacts in it's contact list. NOT GOOD. I am looking for a way to remove my iPhone phone book from the Address Book on my Mac and then remove ALL those same contacts from the Skype contact list.
    I am now removing my iPhone contacts from Address Book on my Macbook one by one manually. Is there a shorter way of doing this?

    Are you using iCloud?
    What is the file format you intend to use to import contacts? If it an Address Book Backup (.abbu) then perhaps you can import it. That would delete your entire Address Book and replace it with the backup.
    I might suggest simply moving your entire ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book folder to the Desktop. That seems rather drastic though, and if your contacts are stored in iCloud it might not make a difference.

  • Using O2M I imported my contacts into Address Book. However upon exiting the contacts are not saved. This is on a new Macbook Pro Lion OS. How does one save the newly imported contacts?

    Using the program O2M I successfully imported emails from Outlook 2003 to Mail, and calendar events to iCal. However, repeated attempts to import contacts to Address Book have failed. The contacts appear to import, but when I close Address Book and reopen it, the contacts are gone. I tried File-Save, but Save is greyed out. This is a new Macbook Pro with the latest Lion OS. I wonder if O2M has not been updated to work with Lion. Or is there something I am overlooking in the import process?

    Hi Denisej and others who have encountered the same problem,
    I tried your work around. Unfortunately it did not work out for me because in my contacts there are an unknown number that still "refused" to be imported like that. When such a contact was in the group I selected for import the whole lot would be lost again after re-opening Address Book. Finally that meant that I had to import each contact one-by-one, each time with the need to close down Address Book. A job to go nuts and end up with a mouse injury. So I decided to use the Migration Assistant that Lion now offers
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3284404
    together with Windows Migration Assitant on my old PC. Obviously both Mac and PC have to be on the same network. For this I did not need to do anything special. Both make use of the same router and that is apparently sufficient. When migrating the contacts Lion creates a new account, so you need to log in to that new account to see your migrated contacts. I used the Export Address Book Archive function in the Address Book menu to copy the lot to my own Apple account. I got rid of the new account and I was finally where I wanted to be in the first place.

  • Saving contacts to address book - Multiple Users

    My wife and I both have iPhones and want to back up our contacts. I backed mine up but noticed in Windows Address Book it just put all of my contacts in the Main Identity's Contacts. I'm afraid of backing up my wife's because I'm afraid it will mix up all of our contacts. I've tried creating groups for each of us but it just puts everyone's contacts in the main identity's contacts. Is there a way to back them up with Windows Address Book without mixing them up?

    I will have the same issue shortly. One thing that you can try to do (which I have yet to try...so unsure how it will work) is have your contacts sync to outlook while have hers sync to windows address book. This way they won't get mixed up
    Also, I have a related question whose answer may help: does itunes back up contacts automatically (i.e. in the background), without the help of an external application like outlook or windows address book? if so, then backing up to a program may be unnecessary.

  • Unable to send mail to importet contacts via address book

    Hi all,
    I've searched the web without finding a solution to my issue with one of my users, so I had to create my own thread.
    My issue is that one of my newly employed users importet a large amount of contacts (over 3000) from his previous workplace (which worked after a little trouble via manually importing a .pst file), but when he tries to add contacts to a mail via address
    book and send the mail, he receives a mail back with "the following recipient(s) cannot be reached"
    I can resolve the issue by copying the mail address, under the contacts profile, and pasting it in the "Email" field, basically retyping the same mail. The mail will then go through without any return mail stating the above error. I could do the
    same for all 3000 contacts, BUT that is a lot of time needed, which I would really like to avoid.
    We are running Exchange 2010 and Office 2013.
    I'm hoping for a fix from one of the clever minds in here!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Does the issue happen when sending mails to all these 3000 contacts? Please send test message by adding other contacts to a mail via Contacts in Address Book to check whether the issue can be reproduced.
    Please make sure the latest patches and service packs are installed for your Outlook 2013. Additionally, please try the following test to narrow down the issue:
    1. Please switch to People panel in Outlook, click a imported contact, click Email in HOME tab. Then send a message to check whether this message can be sent successfully.
    2. Please open the Contact PST file in Outlook instead of import PST file. Then do step 1 to send test message and check whether the issue persists.
    If the issue doesn’t happen when sending message to contacts in opened PST file, it indicates the Contacts which is saved in the PST file should be correct. The issue may be related to Contact resolved in Outlook client. Please create a new Outlook contact
    or create a new Outlook profile to have a try.

  • Why can't I see my list of Contacts in Address Book?

    I can access my contacts one at a time but cannot see the whole list whether I'm in On My Mac or iCloud.  I used to be able to see all of them; anyone know how to get that back?  Thanks.

    Your contacts should be in whatever program you were syncing with:
    Outlook for Windows, Address Book for OS X, Google Contacts, iCloud,
    some third party application. iTunes has never provided this feature as
    it is already available in other programs.
    You also should have a backup plan to protect against data loss.

  • Unable to create or edit AD (mail) contacts in address book

    Hi!
    I recently imported quite a list of contacts from an old CRM application into Exchange. All entries are nicely created in domain.local\company\location\Contacts. All fields are visible in Outlook under All Address Lists\All Contacts.
    As we have a small company, just a few users, I want to give most of them the rights to create and update entries in the All Contacts folder, just as they were used to in the old app.
    I started by creating role groups following this article:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/08/07/creating-rbac-role-to-delegate-contact-management.aspx
    I created an Admin Role group named Contact Administration, which contains the required Members, and I assigned two role groups to this group: Contact_Management, which is based on the Mail Recipient Creation parent group, and Contact_Management_2,
    which is based on the Mail Recipient parent group. The Write Scope is: domain.local\company\location\Contacts.
    Because this didn't result in anyone being able to update the contacts, I also created a group in Active Directory and delegated control on the contacts OU to this group, even though I think this doesn't add to the desired result (as it indeed didn't).
    What am I missing here? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, to create or edit a mail contact in address book, please follow these steps: -
    Use the Shell to create a contact
    This example creates mail contact for Debra Garcia in Exchange Server 2013
    New-MailContact -Name "Debra Garcia" -ExternalEmailAddress [email protected] -OrganizationalUnit Users
    This example creates a mail contact for Alan Shen in Exchange online.
    New-MailContact -Name "Alan Shen" -ExternalEmailAddress [email protected]
    3.     This example mail-enables an existing contact named Karen Toh in Exchange Server 2013.
    Enable-MailContact -Identity "Karen Toh" -ExternalEmailAddress [email protected]
    To add a contact: -
    You can use the EAC to change selected properties for multiple mail contacts. When you select two or more mail contacts from the contacts lit in the EAC, the properties that can be bulk edited are displayed in the Details pane. When you change one of these properties, the change applies to all selected recipients.
    When you bulk edit mail contacts, you can change the following properties areas: -
    ·        Contact Information: - Change shared properties such as street, postal code, and city name.
    ·        Organization: - Change shared properties such as department name, company name, and the manager that the selected mail contact or mail users report to.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • Lost all contacts in Address Book. How can I restore them?

    I have inadvertently deleted all my contacts from Address Book, as a result of trying to delete them all from MS Outlook. (I deleted them from Outlook and they all vanished from Address Book too)
    I gather I can restore them using Time Machine, which I have set up on a Time Capsule, but I've never used it before.
    What is it that I restore to get my contacts back into Address Book please? I have tried restoring Address Book itself, but that doesn't seem to restore my contacts.

    restoring the address book, restores the application but not the files.
    Launch Address Book application and while opened, Launch the Time machine by clicking on its icon on the dock. Go back in time, confirm if you see all your contacts. This is what you need to establish and KNOW first else forget Time machine since its not there.
    If its there, select all your contacts command + A then hit restore
    If its not there. It will be difficult bringing it back, il be honest. you can go for data recovery but that's 50-50

  • Public Folders with Contacts vs Address Book

    Which is the better approach: public folders with contacts or setting up an address book?
    I want to set up some sort of address book to hold details of some of our major clients. Rather than each person maintaining his/her own address list the plan is for everyone to maintain a single list. As soon as we deal with a "new" contact at
    one of our clients that person's details go into the central list and we all benefit.
    In the past we've used public folders. However, it seems to me that they are quite a hassle with OWA so i was wondering why we don't simply create a new address book with:
    New-AddressList -Name "MyCo – Customers" -RecipientFilter "(CustomAttribute1 -eq 'MyCo') -and (ObjectClass -eq 'Group')" -RecipientContainer "ad.ilbs.co/Habitats/myco"
    or should I use New-OfflineAddressBook -Name ...
    Our team run a variety of systems (Windows and Mac) and a variety of phones (mostly IOS and Android)
    Roger

    Hi Roger,
    According to your description, you want to share the contact which is created by each client users in OWA and Outlook to all other domain users for contact sharing. Is it right?
    If that is the case, the Public Folder is an option to achieve this as you mentioned. For address list in server side, only the administrators who have related permission to Exchange server can create an address list in Exchange server generally.
    For client users, they can’t create the address list for all other users using, though the contact folder permission is set to reviewer for all other users.
    If you are using Public Folder contact (default folder permission set to Author), each user can create contacts in this folder and the contact can be visible for all users. Then the client user can do the following settings in Outlook to
    manually add the Public Contact to address book:
    1. In Outlook, open Public Folder.
    2. Right-click Public Contact folder, select Properties.
    3. In Outlook Address Book tab, check Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book.
    4. Click OK to save the setting.
    Then the Public Contact folder should be added in the Address Book.

  • Adding contacts to address book from old phone

    How do I transfer all my contacts information to my new phone   IPhone from Samsung Eternity?  All from AT&T

    You export your contacts from your Samsung phone (talk to AT&T if you don't know how) to a program on your computer like Outlook (Windows) or Address Book (Mac) and then synch your iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
