Transfer address book from emac(os 10.3.9) to imac(os 10.5.6)
How can I transfer my address book contacts(email addresses) from the old emac(os 10.3.9) to the new imac (with os 10.5.6)? The migration assistant did not do it.
I never had Panther, but I would think that on the eMac, you could launch Address Book, select all of the entries, and drag them to the desktop or a usb memory stick. That should give a "mega-card.vcf" file with a name like "Alan Adams & 139 others.vcf"
Then take that file on the usb stick (or via email or whatever you need to do to transfer it to the iMac) and get it transferred to or plugged into your iMac. Doubleclick on that mega-vcf file and AddressBook will launch and import all the information from it into separate Address Book entries.

How to transfer Address Book from old iMac to new MacBook Pro?
I will soon be getting a MacBook Pro 15" Intel Core i5 with Snow Leopard and want to transfer my Address Book from my old 2003 iMac flat 15" panel running 10.4.11. What is the best way to do that? Is there a particular file or folder that I can copy onto a flash drive to transfer to the new computer? Or can I use my Mobile Me Backup that is on my external drive (or on CD) to do it even though the Backup on the new computer would be a newer version from the older Backup that has the data? I would like to avoid having to use the Migration Assistant if I can, since it looks like that is designed to transfer whole categories of files (like all "files and folders", etc.), which I don't want to do. Thanks in advance for the help.
When I bought my new MacBook Pro, the sales person showed me how to do the V-card method that you suggested. I tried it at home, and it worked. I have been worrying for years about the best way to do this, so was very relieved to find such a simple method. David Pogue in the Tiger Missing Manual also mentioned another tip which I used: he said to select all the address entries you want to transfer (in my case it was all of them) and then just drag the whole lot out onto the desktop. A V-card icon appeared that said: "Name of Person plus 344 others". I then copied that to a flash drive and then onto the new computer desktop. I then dragged it into the Address Book window. As you said it was done in a matter of seconds. Thank you so much!

Transfer Address Book from Pearl to Curve
The USB port on the Pearl is partially broken so that it will take a charge but not transfer data. So I bought a Curve and want to use bluetooth to transfer the address book from the Pearl to the Curve if possible. Is that possible?
Here is what I've done. I added the Pearl as a bluetooth device on the Curve and the Curve onto the Pearl. In Bluetooth options on each device, I set the Discoverable as Yes, Allow Outgoing Calls as Always, and Address Book Transfer as All Entries. Then I had one device Search for the Other which was set to 'Allow another device to find me.' The searching device showed "1 found" then listed "No new device found; ensure the device you are searching for is in pairing mode. Search again?" I reversed the process and had the Curve search and the Pearl "Allow". No success. What else do I need to do?
I tried to connect the Pearl to the Blackberry Desktop Manager via bluetooth but although my Tecra device manager shows that there is a bluetooth rfcomm, the Bluetooth Local Com says there are no existing com ports and the bluetooth device is not ready. The Tecra device manager lists the following ports - BT Com 19, BT Com 20, BT Com 21, and RIM Virtual Serial Port V2 9 and Port V2 10.
Is there any way to avoid having to re-enter all 387 contacts which include names, mutliple phone numbers and addresses???
BruceI bought a USB BlueTooth dongle for those situations and Sync the phone with desktop manager.

Transfer address book from other mac ?
How do I transfer my address book from older mac to new macbook pro?
I assume you means the contacts. The Address Book includes an export feature, which may be slightly different for an earlier version. At the menu bar, go to File > Export. If there is an Address Book Archive selection, use that.
Transfer the exported archive to your new Mac. Use the import option with the Address Book on your new Mac to import the archive. -
How to Transfer Address Book from Razor to Iphone
I have a new Iphone and I want to copy by address book from my Motorola Razer to my new phone. I looked at the Motorola site but I also have a Mac computer so I can't follow the directions. Please help.....

Make a new contact group in Address Book that will be the place where you store the contacts from the RAZR
Use iSync to retrieve the contacts from the RAZR over bluetooth, and put the phone contacts into the new contact group you just made
Then, when syncing the iphone, activate that group in iTunes to sync contacts to the iPhone
viola! no typing, no nothing way to move the contacts.
Of course, I am assuming that you have bluetooth on your mac. -

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.

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

Transfer address book from os10.4 to mountain lion
My .abbu address book back up from my powerpc is seen as empty by my new contacts app. Is there a way of getting the info. on to my new mac mini?
I'm not familiar with 10.4.11, but if you still have that OS running, go into your AddressBook and export your contacts into vCards. Select all of your contacts then File / Export / Export vCard. This will create a vCard file that you can use to import back into ML.

On your Macbook Pro, go to "system preferences", click "icloud" and then check the box for "contacts". Then on your iPad, go to "settings", click "icloud" and make sure that the "contacts" option is "on". That should work.

Address book from MacBook Pro to new 24" iMac
Hey All..
Just taken delivery of my new iMac 24". Absolutely amazing! However, I'm desperate to import my address book from my MacBook Pro to the new iMac. I have set my MBP into harddrive mode by pressing T on start up. If someone could tell me how to do it that'd be great.
I am absolutely delighted with my new iMac despite being worries after reading all the disappointed customers on this site.
Anyways, hope you guys can help as usual.
Kindest regards..
