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
[email protected]
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

Transfer word documents from Lumia 520 to mac?

Is there an app to transfer word documents composed on the lumia 520 in office to mac?
I only see apps for enabling photo/video and music transfers from 520 to mac.
I've been to the mac app store and don't see an app to transfer word documents from windows phone to mac.

You don't transfer documents to the cloud on iPad. The cloud is for backups. It's not for document storage. There are however, apps you can use like Dropbox, which are cloud servers, you can use to accomplish this. You set up Dropbox, the free app on your iPad. Then you download Dropbox to your computer. You get 2GB free storage, but if you need more, you can buy it.

, how do I import a book from Iphoto on my old computerPower book G4 to my new MacBook pro?

how do I import a book from Iphoto on my old computerPower book G4 to my new MacBook pro?

I just tried to move my old iPhoto Library from the G4 to a new Macbook. The G4 and files were very old, from 2001.
When I opened Iphoto for the first time, it said it needed to "upgrade" the library", so I selected OK. It gave a message that this could take an hour or longer with a lot of photos -- I have around 9,000 stored so I figured it would take awhile.
It finished in about 3 minutes, but there were no photos or albums to be found.
I checked on the drive and iPhoto has converted the old library files and photo files to a "package" called "iphoto library" that has no file extension.
If I show package contents, I can see a whole raft of new files, folders etc. I can see a file in there called "library6.iphoto" Some folders appear to be organized by years, if I dig down in the folders, all the photos appear to still be present. The general size of the "package" file is almost identical to the old folder, around 25.3 megabytes, so it seems all the photos and information is there, but its just not reading it.
Now IPhoto still says " to begin, connect a camera, drag photos to iPhoto, or import a file.....
I downloaded the "library manager" file and pointed it at the "iphoto library" file but it does not even see it.
Grrr... what can I do to recover this.

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.

Restricting access via MAC address?

Hello,
Could someone please tell me how to restrict access to my wireless network (and internet sharing) by only allowing computers with a certain MAC address to join?
I'm kinda stumbling around here
Thanks,
Jonny

Sorry if I wasn't being specific enough...
I have my eMac set up as a Software Base Station, which streams internet & Airtunes to an Airport Express. I have it set up this way, because my ADSL modem is connected via USB (so it's a bit of a workaround). As a result, I have Internet Sharing switched on, so I can access it from all my other macs.
What I want to do is to stop other people from accessing my eMac's internet connection. If I set up a WEP password for Internet Sharing, I lose my Airtunes facility... so I was thinking another way might be to restrict access to the connection via MAC address. I only want my other airport card-equipped macs to access the internet connection and network generally.
Surely it's possible?

Block internet access by MAC address all the time

I want to be able to block MAC addresses from accessing the internet but allow them to use the network.
I can do this in other router interfaces but the BT Home Hub 2.0 has a VERY un user friendly interface and will not allow advanced internet access or other settings to be modifyed to suit my needs.
I am at an intermediate level at understanding network equipment and an expert at residential networking.

Not sure about the home hub 2, but on the home hub 1 you can use a "user defined" firewall setting to block access to a computer by specifying its IP address.
Source LAN
Interface 192.168.1.xxx (address you wish to block)
Destination WAN
Service ANY
Action Deny
You can tell the home hub to always use this IP address for the device you are trying to block.
There is probably a similar setting on the home hub 2.
By default I block all Internet access for devices, then I have rules to allow HTTP, HTTPS, POP3 and a couple of others.
I also have UpnP disabled.
This prevents any computer on the network accessing any non-standard ports.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Using NAR to restrict access by MAC address

Hello All,
We have a solution where home users connect via ATM onto our network. Currenty their radius requests are passed onto Cisco ACS 3.3 and they are authenticated using RSA SecurID Fobs to an ACE server.
I am trying to look at an alternative to using a SecurID fob and restrict the end user's access based on MAC address.
I found this on the online documentation for ACS 3.3
"About Non-IP-based NAR Filters
A non-IP-based NAR filter (that is, a DNIS/CLI-based NAR filter) is a list of permitted or denied "calling"/"point of access" locations that you can use in restricting a AAA client. However, by entering an IP address in place of the CLI you can use the non-IP-based filter even when the AAA client does not use a Cisco IOS release that supports CLI or DNIS. In another exception to entering a CLI, you can enter a MAC address to permit or deny; for example, when you are using a Cisco Aironet AAA client. The format of what you specify in the CLI boxCLI, IP address, or MAC addressmust match the format of what you receive from your AAA client. You can determine this format from your RADIUS Accounting Log."
If I specify a clients MAC in any of the non IP NAR options (CLI, Port, DNIS)access is refused. I am using radius IETF and the only time I can see the MAC in the radius accounting logs is when I turn on the option to log cisco-av-pair. Nothing is being logged under CLI or DNIS, so I don't think I can restrict access based on MAC using a non IP NAR. Has anyone implemented what is referred to in the documentation above? Is it just applicable to cisco Aironet? Any ideas?
Thanks.

A NAR is a definition, which you make in Cisco Secure ACS, of additional conditions that must be met before a user can access the network. Cisco Secure ACS applies these conditions using information from attributes sent by your AAA clients. So it is not device specific.

Can I transfer old library from PC iTunes to Mac iTunes? Old library is not purchased form iTunes.

Can I transfer my old library of music files from PC iTunes to Mac iTunes? The old library is not purchased from iTunes, just songs imported over the years before I had access to iTunes.

How do I read a book from iBooks on my Mac?

I've been wondering about this for some time now.
I can write, make movies, read Amazon books and B&N e-pub books, watch streaming video, get on the internet with all my Macs and iPod and iPad -- all my book purchases are saved in iTunes on my Mac -- but, when it comes app software for my Mac Pro to read the books that Apple sells in iBooks, I cannot do it!!!
BUT! with Amazon, I can download the book, read it on my iPod, iPad, Mac Pro -- via internet or from my desktop -- watch or stream a movie on my Mac, buy stuff from Amazon on my Mac and iPod/iPad... store my books online or back them up to my Mac...
It is very frustrating to say the least.
My friend's son has a iMac.
But, they don't buy books from the Apple iBook Store because, as she puts it, "Why would I bother? My son has an iMac, but not an iPad, and he can't open the iBooks on his iMac, so I buy books from Amazon or Barnes & Noble. Then he can read them on a big, beautiful, sharp 27" screen. Plus, he can easily make the lettering bigger, if needed. Then, he can do whatever else he needs to do on his computer, all while running several programs all at once... not something that can be done on a $500-$700 iPad."
Apple needs to fix this, don't you think?

Reworded for Macbook, iTunes, and iPad feature enhancement/software and hardware compatibility feedback and submitted this to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback I did not see iBooks listed as an Apple iOS app for direct feedback.
In addition to backing up and syncing through iTunes, please provide the ability to seamlessly open and read iBooks (a.k.a. Apple iBook Textbooks and interactive ebooks and other epub/pdf content saved in iBooks) and content purchased through the iBookstore on MacOS computers, not just iOS devices. While the new MacbookPro with retina display and other systems are essential for various computing tasks, referencing and reading books without shifting to another device is a major purchasing and productivity factor. I can currently do this with Amazon, Google, VitalSource, and Nook books. The ability to seamlessly move between reading books on an iOS device, MacOS computer, or within a Web browser and have integrated highlighting, notes, social sharing and other features sync between all three is highly desirable. Without this option, I will generally need to purchase books and other content from these sources or directly from the publishers, but not Apple.
Thank You.

1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.

6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
