Trying to import 200+ email addresses (only) into AB for distribution

I'm having trouble importing a list of email addresses into AB so that I can assign them to several groups for a newsletter distribution.
The addresses were sent to me in an email and for the first month i simply copied them all into the BCC field and shot off the newsletter. However, I'd like to introduce some organization into this by putting them all into AB (some people need to be added, others have emails changed).
I've tried several things:
1. Tried simply dragging them from the BCC field to AB - failed
2. Copied them all into a text file, made sure they were all separated by commas, saved as a .csv file, tried to import but that failed.
3. Tried importing them into Numbers and exporting as CSV but that failed as well.
4. Tried using http://homepage.mac.com/phrogz/CSV2vCard_v2.html, as has been suggested many times in this forum. Nothing ever appeared on the third tab.
5. Tried using the WhoPaste but that failed to import a batch of emails.
Of course selecting each address individually brings up the context menu and I certainly can import that way. But what the heck, this is a Mac and things ought to be easier, especially with so many addresses. Also, I am not an Applescripter but if anyone has already created a script that would help, I'd use that.

Answering my own question: got it resolved. I found a neat little utility called Abee (or Address Book Importer - http://www.sillybit.com/abee/) that did the trick. In working with this I learned that importing just a bunch of well-formed addresses with a comma separating them isn't enough. I decided to find and replace all comma-space combos and replace them with a paragraph character, making each entry on its own line. Naming it a .txt worked fine.
I hope my experience helps someone else in the future.

Trying to import Entourage Emails into Apple Mail

I recently purchased a new Mac (Mountain Lion) and am trying to import the emails from my old Mac. I was previously using Entourage but I want to import them into Apple Mail.
My old Mac will not restart but I have a copy on time machine. I think I have located the correct folder (and have copied it to my desktop):
My User Name/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities/Main Identity/Database
However, when I click on the Import Mailboxes option in Apple Mail, it only gives me the following options:
Apple Mail, Netscape/Mozilla, Thunderbird, Eudora, Files in mbox format.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to proceed?
Many thanks
Claire

One method which is manual is as follows.
With the Apple Address Book and Entourage address book launched and both positioned so each is partially visible, select the Address Book "All" Group.
Select a contact in the Entourage address book and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Select All to select/highlight all Entourage contacts.
Click and drag all selected/highlighted contacts to the Address Book Name column for the "All" Group and release.
After selecting all Entourage contacts, you can also try Edit > Copy.
Select the Name column for the Address Book "All" Group and at the Address Book menu bar, go to Edit and select Paste.

Importing mass email addresses into Address Book?

My boss just got a new Blackberry and wants to sync her contacts. Unfortunately, she is not very good at making address book entries.
Is there a way to quickly import any email address into Address Book? She doesn't need the everything edited with name, address, etc...since she knows most of these people by their email address more than their first/last names!

They aren't located anywhere. She has all her email messages archived in Mail.app for the last 3 years so she'd like to extract them from there.
Is there some kind of built-in email address list in Mail.app, because it seems to auto complete any email address she types despite it not being in the Apple address book app.

Creating a target group based on the BP email address only in CRM

Hi there,
I am currently trying to create a target group based on the business partner email address only.
I have a list of over 1000 email addresses - these email addresses equate to a BP in our CRM system, however I do not have a list of the equivalent business partner numbers, all I have to work on are the email addresses. With these 1000 BP email addresses I need to update the marketing attributes of each of these 1000 BP records in CRM.
What I need is a method to find the 1000 BP numbers based on the email addresses and then use the marketing expert tool (tx. CRMD_MKT_TOOLS) to change the marketing attributes on all of the 1000 BPs.
The issue I am having is how can I find the list of BP numbers just based on the BP email address, I tried creating an infoset based on table BUT000, BUT020 and ADR6 but I after creating attribute list & data source for this I am stuck on what to do next. In the attribute list the selection criteria does not allow me to import a file for the selection range. I can only enter a value but I have 1000 email addresses and cannot possibly email them manually in the filter for the attribute list.   I also looked at imported a file into the target group but I do not have any BP numbers so this will not work.
Does anyone know a method where I can create a target group based on the email addresses only without having to do any code?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Kind regard
JoJo

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

Importing Netscape's address book into Apple's Address Book application

I want to import my email Netscape email address book into Apple's Address Book application. So I open the Address Book application and select import from the pull down menu. That brings up three choices, vCards, LDIF and Text. I previously had saved my Netscape address book as a pdf file. So I selected, Text. A window appeared from which I was to select where I wanted to get the file from. I made selections until I got to where my pdf file was and selected it. But I got the following error message.
The file you selected does not appear to be a valid comma separated values (csv) file nor a valid tab delimited file, please choose another file.
So I tried again and this time I selected LDIF, but when the file in my Netscape Users Profile that would appear to be my address book came up, it was “greyed out” and I could not select it. The file had the name “abook.mab”. It is not an LDIF file. There are no LDIF files in my profile.
So I tried selecting vCards, but I got the exact same results as above. The file that looks like it is my address book, is grayed out and cannot be selected.
So I went into Netscape to see if I could export my address book into Apple’s Address Book. I chose export from the Netscape menu and a window opened asking me to select where I wanted to export the file to. But when I got to Apple’s Address Book application, it was greyed out and could not be selected. The same thing happened when I tried to select Apple’s Mail program.
I have about three hundred email addresses in my Netscape address book. If these addresses have to be manually entered into Apple's Address Book, I will not make the switch to Apple's Mail program.

Netscape's Address Book window does not have that option. The Export option is under the Tools menu, but does not give you any options in the Tools menu. Once you select Export, the Export Address Book window opens. This window does have a format option where you can select either LDIF, Comma Separated or Tab Delimited. But it doesn't matter which of those I select, Apple's Address Book and Mail applications are not available for selection.

Trying to set an email address

I am using Oracle 9i and SQL*Plus on Windows XP.
I am trying to set an email address in my object table using an object method.
I have the following types:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE student_type AS OBJECT
(FirstName varchar2(15),
LastName varchar2(15),
Address address_type,
Contact contact_type,
DateOfBirth date,
Nationality varchar2(15),
AttendanceMode varchar2(15),
StudentNo varchar2(15),
Userid varchar(15),
FeeStatus varchar2(25))
create type contact_type as object
(home_tel_no number(14),
mobile number(14),
email varchar2(25))
and have created a method to set an email address:
MEMBER FUNCTION setEmail (self IN OUT student_type, em varchar2) RETURN number,
PRAGMA RESTRICT_REFERENCES (setEmail, WNPS, RNPS)
along with all of the other necessary code which works OK.
I have implemented it with the following code but am not sure if it is correct:
MEMBER FUNCTION setEmail (SELF IN OUT student_type, em varchar2) RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
SELF.CONTACT.EMAIL := em;
RETURN 1;
END;
but when I try to run it, i get the following error:
SQL> SELECT S.SETEMAIL('[email protected]') FROM STUDENT_TABLE S WHERE FIRSTNAME = 'Sammy';
SELECT S.SETEMAIL('[email protected]') FROM STUDENT_TABLE S WHERE FIRSTNAME = 'Sammy'
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06572: Function SETEMAIL has out arguments
Any help with this would be great.
James

SELECT S.SETEMAIL('[email protected]') FROM
STUDENT_TABLE S WHERE FIRSTNAME = 'Sammy'
ERROR at line 1:ORA-06572: Function SETEMAIL has out arguments
er...that'll be because your member function has an OUT parameter, self:
MEMBER FUNCTION setEmail (self IN OUT student_type, em varchar2) RETURN number,(1) You need to reference all parameters in the function, so you need two arguments in your call - but...
(2) we cannot use methods with OUT parameters in SELECT statements, because that's the law.
Do you need to pass SELF into your method? If so you'll have to use PL/SQL to do this instead.
Looking at your code again, I see you are actually using a SELECT statement to alter the data iin the database. This is not allowed at all. SELECT statements are, must be, read only.

It does not magically appear in a new place. It will only be where you put it.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Urgent! AD connector doesn't import Group email addresses!

The AD connector does not synchronize the email addresses of Distribution groups. This is a huge error, because there are 80 groups and I cant set the email addresses one-by-one.
Strange, but users get imported with correct email addresses, only Groups don't have the email address imported.
Please help!

OK Its solved. I created a new second connector, now it imports the email addresses. What can I say, this is not what I would expect from this product...

hi Guys, i mistakenly synced my iphone and all my email contacts appears in my contacts list. its mixed up. can someone please assist me on how to delete the email address ONLY?

Don't understand your problem... Contacts sync with a compatible address book or cloud service. Contact records can contain names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, notes, or any combination of these. If you have records you don't want in your address book that you don't want in your contacts, then segregate them into groups in your address book and only sync the group(s) you want. If you don't want them there at all, then delete them.

I am trying to change the email address associated with my existing account to free up my university email address for use in obtaining Creative Cloud.

I am trying to change the email address associated with my existing account to free up my university email address for use in obtaining Creative Cloud. Every time I go to the account settings of my existing account (which currently uses my university email, as I set it up years ago and had no idea it'd eventually cause problems), I enter a different email to use for that account but I continuously receive an error message saying "account changes cannot be saved." It makes me think that it's because the email isn't verified (funny, it actually is verified since it has been the alternate email on the old account for years), but when I click the "send verification email" nothing happens (that is, no email is sent to that other email address).
Anyway, my university is now requiring that faculty create new accounts using our university email addresses in order to register/use Creative Cloud. Am I able to delete my old account, or can anyone help me actually change the email address associated with my old account without getting a "changes can't be saved" error?

Hi
Why are you trying to import BPM zip file are you trying to configure the out of the box workflows?
They are something that need to be deployed from the process admin on BPM.
There would be the .exp file you would need as its BPM 10g that you would need to use.

If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.
