Trying to import address books and templates from old Netscape Communicator 4.8 to Thunderbird. What old version of Thunderbird to use ( new version wont do

Been using Communicator 4.8 for years. Working fine had no reason to change. But now security settings wont work with yahoo pop server.
Want to import my address books and templates to thunderbird.
New version of Thunderbird 31.0 doesn't have import for communicator that old. Earlier versions do.
Figured I'd use old version of thunderbird to import and then update thunderbird to 31.00
Tried thunderbird 3.0 which has importer for 4.73 but getting error message that it is having trouble. Anyone know last version of thunderbird that had netscape 4.8 importer ? Thought maybe a later version would be able to import and then update to newest thunderbird.
Thanks

1 - there is no importing involved - you NEVER import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library
2 - you have to run programs after you download them - go to your applications folder ==> utilities and launch the library upgrader -- Then launch iPhoto to complete the upgrade

Importing address book and emails from a PC to a Mac

I would like to get my address book contents from Outlook Express into my Mac Pro's Mail address book.
Is there some easy way to do this? I'm on OSX 1.5.2.
Also, is it possible to copy over my sent items folder from Outlook Express into the Mac?
I have a lot of saved emails in OE that I will need to have access to from the Mac, and I would also like to avoid having to manually redo my entire address book.
Are Safari and Mail the best apps to use on a Mac for email and internet, or should I install something else?
Should I just forget the whole thing and install Win XP on the Mac so that I can use my OE stuff?
Thanks a lot for any advice.

I had no problems by installing Thunderbird on my PC first, and then importing all of my Outlook data into Thunderbird. I then located and made a copy of the Thunderbird Mail file, which I moved to my Mac. I installed Thunderbird on my Mac, and imported the file I moved from the PC. I was then able to use the resulting mail file in Mac's Mail.
It's been several months ago, and my details might not be exact...however, a little bit of messing with it will definitely get the job done. I had about 10 years of data to move.
Regarding contacts, I think I exported a comma delimited file from the PC, which I was able to import into Mac's Address book....it wasn't difficult. Good luck! Bill

Moving Mail, Address Book and Keychains from Old Computer to New Computer

My issue: Moving mail, address book and keychains from Panther (old machine) to Leopard (new machine). Old machine (500mh G4 power pc) will not connect directly via firewire to new machine (iMac intel). So, I have to move the files manually via a firewire hard drive.
I am looking for a document that will tell me exactly which files to move. Can someone please help me find this document? Thank you. Dale
P.S. I have no issues with installing Leopard. I only need to move the mail, address book and keychains from old to new machine. No .mac account is available.

for address book: go to your old mac, launch ab, and go to file>export and export your contacts as vcards, select all cards before that, then bring that export file to the new mac, and launch ab there, then go to file>import as vcards and you should be set as far as contacts are, but not as far as groups if you have extensive groups. that would be the safe option. the other option is to go to homefolder/library/application support/address book and move that folder to the new mac. the only question i have is... is the database structure and files the same between panther and leopard, which is why i suggest the first option of import/export of vcards.
for mail, in your old panther go to homefolder/library/mail and move that mail folder to the new mac. make a copy of that folder, then move one copy to the same location in the new mac.
for keychain, in your old panther go to homefolder/library/keychain, you want to bring the file that is in that folder to your new mac. make a copy of that folder, then move one copy to the same location in the new mac.
once that is done, you may have to do some more steps with mail, once you launch mail, such as importing mailboxes. let me know if that is the case.
hope this helps

HT4993 transfer my address book and photos from my nokia to my iPhone?

transfer my address book and photos from my nokia to my iPhone?

You need to transfer the contacts and photos from the Nokia to your Mac (via Bluetooth or USB cable), import the contacts into Address Book and the photos into iPhoto and then sync them to the iPhone via iTunes.

I am looking to add my Comcast address book and calendar from my PC outlook to my iPad?

Transferring my contacts, itunes music, apps, address book, and pics from my iphone to my new MacBook Pro

I bought a new MacBook Pro 4 months ago, had some issues with it, brought it to Best Buy Geek Squad and they . Now I would like to sync my iphone 4 with my computer. However, when I go to do that a message appears that says the computers current information will transfer to the iphone. Well there isn't anything on my computer and so I am afraid if I follow through with it my iphone will lose everything. I am mainly concerned about my address book, itunes and pictures. Is there any way for me to transfer from the iphone to the MacBook Pro?
My husband also has an iphone. I'd like to be able to also sync itunes with his phone but not the contacts. Any suggestions?

You might want to ask your question in the iPhone forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone/using_iphone.
While all of us here have MacBook Pros, not everyone (including myself!) have an iPhone.
Then again, some MBP/iPhone user may come along with an answer to your question... but I'd post it in the iPhone forum were I you.
Good luck,
Clinton

Importing Address Book & ical details from old Mac

I have just invested in a new Macbook to replace my deceased G3 ibook.
I tried to use Migration Assistant to get all my data across but it told me there was no OS on the old Mac! Fortunately I could still access the old hard drive and have successfully transferred all my music, photos, movies and a few vital apps.
However, I was looking around my old hard drive and I couldnt find the ical or Address Book data, nor where I should move it to on my new system.
Can anyone point me in the right irection?
Many thanks.
G3 ibook is dead, long live the 2.16GHz Macbook White! Mac OS X (10.4)
G3 ibook Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Address Book stores the settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist and the data in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/. I believe it’s similar in the case of iCal.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

I just replaced the hard drive on myn Macbook pro and am now trying to import my address book and calendar from the cloud but have not ben successful

I am seeking how to bring my data from the cloud to my laptop after having had the hard drive replaced

Open System Preferences > ICloud
Make sure Contacts and Calendars are selected.
iCloud should sync your data automatically.

Import Address Book after upgrade from panther.

Hello folks,
A friend of mine recently upgraded to leopard from 10.3.9.
Made backups but can't import her old addressbook files.
The way i told her to do it is just to take the addressbook folder from 10.3.9 and replace it in Users > library > application support in Leopard. This has always worked in 10.4 or from 10.4 to 10.5 but this time it wouldn't.
Any idea's ? She can't go back to Panther and needs those address cards.
Thanks for the help
Jay

I figured it would be the same as after an upgrade from Tiger, so i just copied the folder out of Application Support :/
Now that Panther is gone there is no way to go back and export it to vcards or archive anymore.

Address book and calendar sync from Mac to Google

Hi,
I have a HTC Desire phone and wish to sync my Contacts and Calendar items to it via Google.
I have pulled my Address Book and Calendar from my old p1i phone on to my old Power Book and exported these. I have then imported these onto my Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard.
I now want to sync these up to a Google account.
In my address I have ny contacts and also my girlfriend's. I wish to sync only my Contacts up to Google. Is this possible?
I have tried configuring iCal to sync with Google via calDAV but I am not seeing my Calendar entries in Google (or a way of doing a manual sync from Mac -> Google)
Apologies if these questions have been asked and answered previuosly.
Mike B.

Importing Address Book & Calendar from Palm to Mac

I just got a new MacBook and would like to import my address book and calendar from my Palm to iCal and the Address Book on Mac. I tried unsuccessfully to import my Address Book and Calendar from Lotus Notes for PC and it although I exported it in the formats indicated available on Mac - nothing went into iCal or the Address book and importing it into Entourage was a complete disaster - it created over 285,000 useless records and locked up the Mac. So instead I've now installed Palm Desktop for Mac - and hope that I can sync my old Tungsten C (originally set up and synced for PC). If so, I'd like to export the Address Book and maybe the Calendar from the Palm Desktop to iCal and Mac Address Book. Is this possible? Has anyone done it? Everyone says Macs are easier than PCs and it's easy to bring over your stuff from PC - which has not exactly been my experience. Advice appreciated.

Thanks, I did look at the link. What is not clear to me is whether it can sync the data (address book and calendar - tho calendar is less important) from my Tungsten C that was previously always synced with a PC - to a MacBook now. Any information on that?

How to merge faces from address book and Facebook?

I like faces, however, when I start to type the name of somebody on the picture (me), I can choose 2 different "me" - one is from address book and on from facebook. Is there any possibility that Facebook would recognize people from facebook and connect them to my address book (or the other way)?

I found this:
In Address Book (or "Contacts") select both cards that correspond to the same person (probably one card you created and the other generated from facebook), you can do this by Command+clicking.
Then, under 'Card' menu select 'Link Selected Cards'. Voila, they are now one card. Address Book still remebers these are two seperate cards, and you can always edit this back later.
If you prefer, you can then select the "leading" card that will be represented in the name, through the 'cards' field at the bottom of that person's card.
Since iPhoto uses Address Book's database, this should solve the duplicate person problem, though I haven't tested this thouroughly.
Hope this helps.

Importing emails, signatures and contacts from Entourage

I've been trying to find a way to import emails, signatures and contacts from Entourage to mail. I want to change accounts so I can eventually use mobileme in the office I'm working at but don't want to have to go through the arduous process of having to copy everything manually into mail.
Has anyone found a fool-proof way of doing this yet ?
Thanks & cheers, Jan

Just imported everything myself for Entourage X a few weeks ago.
iCal will directly import Entourage's calendar.
Address book can be done to ways. In Entourage, open Address book, under the file tab select export contacts. This will save a .txt file on the desktop which can be imported by mail. Another way is to create a folder on the desktop, then highlight and drag all Entourage contacts to the folder which can also be imported. Either way, if you have more than one email address per contact, you may have to cut and paste those manually.
Mail will import email from Entourage directly. I had to import several times to get everything. In Mail under the File Tab, just click import mailboxes and select Entourage. Another window will open and you are able to pick which Entourage folders to import. All are selected initially.
As far as signatures, you most likely will need to cut and paste those manually.

Imported address book contains six copies of each address

I imported my Outlook Express address book (Address Book.WAB) into TB, but now I have six copies of each address in the imported address book. Deleting the imported address book and importing again only adds another copy of each address. How can I eliminate all the extra copies of each address?

Gosh, after three days cannot anyone tell me how to (COMPLETELY) delete my imported address book so I can start fresh? Each time I think I have deleted my imported address book, I try to import again and the book contains one additional copy of each address. I am up to six copies at present. It seem apparent to me that each time I am not successfully deleting the imported address book

Purpose of the Address Book and the Bookmarks Menu

What is the purpose of the Address Book and the Bookmarks Menu under the show all bookmarks? What is a useful way to use the two? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
In Address Book, you have the option of entering a web site address in an individual's record. In Safari, by selecting Address Book in System Preferences>Bookmarks, you can access a list of these web addresses via either the Bookmarks Menu or Bookmarks Bar.
Entries in the Bookmarks Menu are one way to enter, sort or access specific bookmarks. My preference is to access my Bookmarks via the Bookmarks Bar. More information can be found via the Safari Help menu (enter Bookmarks in Help's spotlight panel.
