Outlook contacts import

Im trying to bring 4 years worth of buisness contacts from Outlook (express?) on my toshiba notebook into my new macbook pro's apple mail or entourage programs, at least to my address book! I have been on the phone 3 times to mac support but none of them could get my distribution list over. Any ideas?

Is it Outlook or Outlook Express. It's important to know which one.

Automate Outlook Contact import/export?

I am in the process of developing a contact management system
for my company and have built coldfusion pages that allow the user
to import their personal contacts from outlook, as well as export
contacts from the system into their MS Outlook contacts.
The process is fairly simple on the users (in my mind) but it
requires using Outlook's import/export function, which is about 6
or 7 steps. My users would of course like to have this process
simplified.
Is it possible to have a button on one of my pages that
automates the entire process? i.e. creates the csv file (or
whatever other format is needed) and then automatically pushes that
data into outlook (and vice versa) ?
Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

If your Outlook users are using Exchange you might look into
ColdFusion's Exchange features.

Preserve Outlook contacts import in address book

Hi,
I'm trying to export all my contacts from Outlook to Address Book and keep the groups ('categories' in MS Outlook). I've tried Outlook2Mac and exporting it to tab delimited files, but my groups are lost. My last attempt:
In Outlook, I can double click on one category and send all the contacts as separate vCards. In Mail, I save all the attachments and drag them from my download folder into a group in Address Book. But.. then it adds annoying text in every contact:
X-MS-OL-DEFAULT-POSTAL-ADDRESS: 1
X-MS-OL-DESIGN: <card xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/outlook/12/electronicbusinesscards" ver="1.0" layout="left" bgcolor="ffffff"><fld xmlns="" prop="name" align="left" dir="ltr" style="b" color="000000" size="10"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="email" align="left" dir="ltr" color="000000" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="addrhome" align="left" dir="ltr" color="000000" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/></card>
It seems a script from http://forum.soft32.com/mac/Deleting-Paragraph-Address-Book-Note-Field-ftopict39 458.html might provide help. But as a complete AppleScript noob, I can't get it to work. Anyone any ideas?
tell application "Address Book"
activate
set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set allCards to every person
repeat with i from 1 to the number of people
set theCurrentPerson to person i
set theCurrentPersonsName to the name of theCurrentPerson
set theCurrentPersonsNotes to the note of theCurrentPerson
if theCurrentPersonsNotes contains "X-MS-OL-DEFAULT-POSTAL-ADDRESS:" then
set theParas to the text items of theCurrentPersonsNotes
set theParaCount to count of theParas
set theNewParas to {}
set theFinalParas to {}
repeat with j from 1 to theParaCount
if the text of item j of theParas does not contain "X-OUTL" then
set the end of theNewParas to the text of item j of theParas
end if
end repeat
set the theNewParaCount to count of theNewParas
repeat with j from theNewParaCount to 1 by -1
if the text of item j of theNewParas is not equal to "" then
repeat with k from 1 to j
set the end of theFinalParas to the text of item k of theNewParas
end repeat
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
set the note of theCurrentPerson to (theFinalParas as string)
end if
save
display dialog "Done"
end tell

I have tried O2M (outlook2mail) but that did not work. I get one big heap of contacts, without the groups.

Outlook contact deleted

I'm running Office 365 Business, and had copied all contacts and email (.pst file) across from my old computer to new outlook, however i have just realized i have now lost over half of the notes on my contacts.
Can anyone help to get them back and keep the notes, i can obviously go and copy the pst file again but if it does the same i'm just wasting my time till i know that they won't go missing again.

I'm running Office 365 Business, and had copied all contacts and email (.pst file) across from my old computer to new outlook, however i have just realized i have now lost over half of the notes on my contacts.
Just to clarify something for all concerned - what exactly do you mean by "we had copied all contacts and email (.pst file)? Specifically did you
1) copy the PST file to the new computer and opened that PST file in Outlook '2013 showing contacts with a different value in the Notes field between the original versius new?
2) copy the PST file to the new computer and imported the PST file or opened the PST file and copied the items from the old PST folder to the equivalent new folder?
In addition
3) What is the format of the original PST file? ANSI or Unicode (if you click on the root of the PST file --> Properties --> Advanced ...... does the value beside <Format> include (97-2002) = ANSI otherwise it's a Unicode file
4) If you run ScanPST on the PST file on the original system - are any errors reported? If yes, those should be corrected before opening it in OL'2013 <especially> if it's an ANSI based PST file
5) What is the size of the Notes field that are being truncated?

Empty results while importing outlook contact list with PHP

Hello. Could you help me with such problem:
I'm always receiving an empty result while importing contact list from my outlook mail account.
I've had successfully created live app (https://account.live.com/developers/applications). I'm using REST api (https://apis.live.net/v5.0/me/contacts?&access_token=" . $access_token) and successfully received "access_token". But in the end
I receive empty result in such form:
{ ["data"]=> array(0) { } ["paging"]=> array(0) { } } (certainly, I have few contacts in my outlook contact list)

Desktop Manager is not contact manager. Restore it from Backup to a HH and then sync it with contacts in Outlook at home for example. Extract contacts to PST file. Import those to new company outlook contacts and they will sync over the air with handheld.

Contact Import Limit on Outlook Web App?

Hi there,
Just quickly, can you confirm if there is a maximum number of contacts I can import into Outlook Web App (Office 365)? I have 7000 clients. Also is there an export function or do I have to first sync with Outlook 2007 on my PC then export from there.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can find some useful information from this article:
Import contacts using Outlook Web App
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/import-contacts-using-outlook-web-app-HA102908325.aspx
As for the maximum number, I haven't found that. But as mentioned in the article, "If you try to import too many contacts, you'll see an error message. Use a program such as Excel to open the .csv file and break it into smaller files, and then import each
file separately."
We cannot export contacts from owa. As a workaround, we may select the contacts and right click on them, choose Forward as Attachment, send the contacts to another email address you have.

Crash when importing Outlook contacts

I have tried to use the import of outlook contacts (OL 2007) in PSE 9. Everytime I select Outlook as the source, bam, PSE stops working. W7 64 is the OS. Any ideas? Really silly to have to re-enter contacts from outlook as this was a feature I was wanting! TIA

Outlook isn't clever enough to recognise multi-contact vCards so you'll need to split the multi-contact vCard into individual ones. See: http://www.msoutlook.info/question/726
Programs to do that are freely available such as: http://www.philipstorry.net/software/vcardsplit
However, if you install the iCloud Control Panel on your PC, iCloud contacts will be imported automatically.

How do i expoert files from Outlook and import them into iphone? operate with Mac OSx at home and trying to convert contacts and calendars from work and carrying on iphone. txs

How do I export calendar and contact files in Outlook and import them into iphone 4. I operate Mac OS X at home and wish to carry my work information with me on my iPhone.

You do not export anything.
Instead, sync the content from Outlook to your device via iTunes.
Try reading the manual, it's included on the device or here.

One option is forwarding your Outlook contacts as vCard files which can be imported by the Address Book on your Mac, followed by being synced with your iPad.
In Outlook, select all contacts and at the menu bar select forward as vCard. Each contact will be a separate vCard file. Send the email to an email account you are accessing with the Mail app on your Mac.
Save the attached vCard files in a folder created on your Desktop or in whichever chosen location for the folder. At the Address Book menu bar, go to File and select Import navigating to the folder that incudes the vCard files. Open the folder to select.

IOS 8.1.3 and Importing Outlook Contacts

I recently updated iTunes and my iPhone 5S. I am unable to import my contacts from Outlook 2010. I had no problems before until the update. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Again, to clarify, I had no problems before the update. Nothing has changed other than the iPhone firmware and the iTunes version.
I don't want to use iCloud. It's just one more security risk for me.

There are some solutions that were thrown and with success. First, the exact problem lies with iTunes v12.1, not v12.0. Apparently, someone downloaded and installed v12.0 and was able to get the sync working. Others had system restore points and was able to go back.
I have tried going down to v11.4 but that will not install on any of my computers. You can download the v11.4 from Apple but it's in 32-bit only. Perhaps that's why it didn't work, I have 64-bit computers. iTunes v12.0 worked for others and I have yet to try this because I'm unable to find a reputable source to trust the installer. Apple does not have v12.0 available on their site, as far as I know of.
Another alternative, besides the iCloud, is to convert all your Outlook contacts to Windows contacts. This is a hassle because you're changing format from Outlook to vCard/CSV to Windows. This is what I did for now and it's not a perfect conversion.
