Passport - Import Contacts Via CSV file

Just got my Passport yesterday... love it. i took a small break from BB but now i'm BACK.. awesome.
i've exported all my contacts to a CSV file but cannot seem to find how to import them via Blend.
is there a process for this? i have hundereds of business contacts that need to be in my phone.
Please help.
thank you

The best way to do it would be to import those contacts into an email account like Outlook.com and then sync that account's contacts to the Passport. Once in Outlook.com you can have those contacts on any device.

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..."

Importing Contacts from CSV without MS Outlook/Lot...

I have PC Suite 7.0.8.2 running on WinXP Sp3 and have contacts in a spreadsheet that I need to import to my N95 software version 20.0.015. PC Suite Contacts (PCSC) is version 1.0
If I save the spreadsheet data as a CSV, Unicode (or any other translation come to that) and attempt to import it via PCSC then Contacts "GPF"s and closes.
If I export current phone contacts to a CSV file then I can re-import this file without problem. This exported file is reported by other applications such as Notepad and Open Office as being in Unicode format - hence my use of that format.
Looking at my generated CSV and the one from PCSC the difference would seem to be quote marks. So I have tried making every element have a set of quote marks as the PCSC file has. Also setting the last element to each line to be a set of quote marks ("") as in the PCSC file. Or removing all "empty" elements at the end of a line as in the PCSC file. But still when attempting to import the file PCSC closes with an unexpected error.
I don't have access to MS Outlook or Lotus Notes so using one of them as an intermediary is not an option. I do only need to do this once as I want my phone contacts to be the "Master" set once I've consolidated to the phone. That consolidation needs PCSC to manage to import from a CSV file though!
Any one know how to make a "personally generated" csv file acceptable to PCSC?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So having spent a load more time attempting to do this I have, at last, managed to get the thing to work!
So for any others having issues it seems that the data checking, when it finds an error just GPFs the application rather than report what it does not like! (Nokia people can you fix that?)
All fields in the CSV should have " at the start and finish, even if nul/blank
Every line should end in "" (as the heading line does when exporting from contacts)
Phone numbers should not contain ( or ) but can contain +
File should be saved in Unicode bigendian format (Notepad in XP can do that)
Dates of Birth should be given as "YYYY-MM-DD"
Any thing that notepad shows as a square should be removed
I found that when doing the import the progress bar moved quickly to 49% then sat there until the operation was finished. It struck that the contacts were put onto the PC in the first 49% and then copied to the phone but I may be wrong about that.

How to Export Address Book contacts as CSV file for Gmail?

Hi
I wish to export some of my Address Book contacts towards Gmail (which i use through the web interface for now) but I don't want to export vcards as i don't trust big brother Google with all the other data (snail mail, phone numbers, birthdays, etc).
I have tried to do the export through Address Book but found no CSV export option.
I've searched the forum for an answer, but to no avail. Some other (paying) websites claim to offer solutions but the "pay before you see" deters me from using them.
Any tip on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. Scripts and software also welcome, if shareware/freeware.
Cheers,
FMN

Thanks for your answer, but gmail's help specifically states one can import contacts in CSV format and i was looking for a simple batch solution.
Here is a link to the relevant gmail page (might be in French - am not a "Froguette" for nothing ;)) about importing:
<http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=28647>
and the one about importing addresses as CSV files:
<http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=fr&answer=12119>)
So my question still stands.

WCS: AP / MSE Authorization Controller Template via CSV file???

hello experts we are required to create a large number of "AP / MSE Authorization Controller Templates" on a WCS 7.0.172.0 system. ideally we would like to create these templates via CSV file to make the import as easy as possible. when the import is done via csv file the name of the template is automatically being set to the mac address of the access point. this because there is not way (at least not in the documented example) on how to specify the template name in the CSV file. so the question is, if anybody knows how we can specifiy the template name during the csv templated based creation in order to make sure we have the APs hostname set as the name of the template. further usage will be much more easy when the template has the AP hostname. any suggestion is highly welcome many thanks

Export Public Folder contacts to CSV File using Exchange management Shell

Hi All
Is there a command i can run in the exchange management shell to export all public folder contacts (which are in many sub folders) to a CSV file?
Any help on this appreciated.

Hello Ben,
Per my knowledge, you cannot use Exchange Management Shell to export the contacts in public folder to csv file.
If you want to export contacts in public folder to a csv file, you can follow this way to do that:
Open Outlook and create a Temp Contact Folder
Move all the contacts to the Temp Contact Folder
Use Outlook export contacts to csv file .

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

Gmail Contacts Import Refuses My .CSV File

I have created a file in Numbers of contacts for gmail.
I have exported it as a .csv file
and I selected Western Mac OS Roman
(When this failed I tried Unicode and Windows Latin1)
Both of those failed to be accepted by gmail too.
Each time I try and import this file into gmail
to the Contacts section it says...
Sorry we cannot recognize the file format.
When I made my .csv file...
I started with a pile of email addresses with names.
I made sure that each line in the document read:
name(,) last name(,) <email address> (I hit return here)
Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong???
thanks.

Which is the decimal separator in your system.
If it is the comma, Numbers will not use the comma as values separator but semi-colons.
This may explain your problem.

Import my addresses into mac mail via .csv file

i would like to import my addresses into mac mail.
i have my yahoo addresses saved on my desktp as a .csv file. can you tell me how to import these
thank you

You cannot import addresses into Mail. You must import them into Address Book for them to be available in Mail. Open Address Book, then Help > Address Book Help, and read the “Importing contacts into Address Book” article to see how this works.

How can I import an existing csv. file into Outlook on a Mac with OS10.7

Tried to import a csv. file on my Mac (OS 10.7.2) into Microsoft Outlook 2011 (for Mac) on the same computer, ended up with a useless Excel page - it opened the csv file in Excel with only a few contacts and uselessly formatted, at that!. Also, tried to save the csv file as a text file, then importing it into Word 2011 and Excel, with the same results. Anyone able to help? Would like to have the contained address/contact info look concise and neat, without duplicates or garbled/missing information.

How to import data from CSV file with columns separated by semicolon?

I migrate database from MS SQL 2008 to ORACLE 11g
I export data to CSV file from MS SQL
then I try to import it to Oracle
several tables goes fine using Import data option in the SQL Developer
Standard CSV files with data separated by comma were imported.
chars, date (with format string), and integer data are imported via import wizard without problems
the problems were when I try to import table with noninteger numbers with modal part separated by comma not by dot
comma is the standard separator for columns in CSV file
so I must change the standard separator to semicolon
then the import wizard have problem to correct recognize the columns data because it use only standard CSV comma separator :-/
In SQL Developer 1.5.3 Tools -> Preferences -> Migration -> Data Move Options
I change "End of Column Delimiter" to ; but it doens't work
Is this possible to change the standard column separator for import data wizzard in SQL Developer 1.5.3?
Or maybe someone know how to import data in SQL Developer 1.5.3 from CSV when CSV colunn separator is set to semicolon?

A new preference has been added to customize the import delimiter in main code line. This should be available as part of future release.

How do I export phone contacts into CSV file?

I can't seem to export the contacts in my iPhone into a CSV file so I can import them into Yahoo Mail or Gmail to edit.

Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer. This is so common with Windows users - here anyway - not having contacts available on their computer. How does one get by without having contact info available on their computer, or having email addresses only for contacts on their computer, telephone numbers only for contacts on their cell phone, and mailing addresses who knows where? Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone only for contact info - along with having to manually enter all contact info on a cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
With Windoze, you can sync contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007 along with syncing calendar events, or with the address book used by Outlook Express or by Windows Mail (depending on the Windoze version) called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. You may not have Outlook 2003 or 2007, but you have Windows Contacts available.
If Windows Contacts is empty - no contact info, before the first sync enter one contact in Windows Contacts. Make the contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. Syncing contacts with Windows Contacts is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
After your contacts are available in Windows Contacts, you can export the contacts from there in a CSV file for import by Yahoo or Gmail.
