Using Address Book Exporter to move Address Book Contacts to Palm Desktop

I have had strangely mixed results using "Address Book Exporter" to create files that can be imported into Palm Desktop.
I really want to export all 1200 of my Address book cards to my new Treo 700P. Too complex?
I set up a new group in my Address Book and placed about 400 cards in it. I then used Address Book Exporter to export all of these records using template "Palm Desktop" onto a .txt file on my hard drive.
When I opened my Palm Desktop application and clicked on import, I first had to cause the dialogue box to show all files rather than just "readable files" in order for the exported files to be available. When I clicked on the file of 400 Address book cards that I had exported, I got the dialogue box similar to FileMaker where you have to line up the receiving fields in the Palm Desktop application with the fields in the file that Address Book Exporter created.
When I set the "fields" drop-down menu to "addresses" and set the "Delimiters" drop-down menu to "Palm Desktop", everything just lined up automatically. No futher adjustments were needed. I just clicked OK and the 400 records were transferred to my Palm Desktop Address list - ready to further transfer to my new Treo 700P - successfully.
But when I went through this exact same routine, instead exporting all of the cards in my Address book, when I got to the last step and set the two drop down menus - the "fields" drop-down menu to "addresses" and set the "Delimiters" drop-down menu to "Palm Desktop" - nothing happened. The fields in the exported file did not line up at all. The created export file I opened showed only one "superfield' with all the data in it (just as the earlier example had, at first) which would not change to all of the fields needed to line up with the Palm Desktop importing fields as had happened in the first example.
Why the two different reactions to what seems to be the same routines? Does Address Book Exporter have a cap on the size of the export it can handle?
I just don't understand it.

Move contacts from Palm Desktop to Cell??

I've got a non-responsive Centro which I've taken to Verizon for trouble-shooting. In the meantime, I plan to use an old LG for a couple of days. Does anyone know how to move contacts from Palm Desktop to the LG?

Unfortunately since it's two different operating systems you will not be able to transfer your contacts to your Lg device. However, it might be possible to do an address book transfer in the store from your Palm to your Lg.
HTH,

How can I sync my Address Book and ICal with Mac and PC with Palm Desktop?

I now have the IPhone and I love it!!! But I have some issues and need help please. I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. In the PC I use the Palm Desktop Version 4.1.4 and I have there all my contacts (more than 1,100), all my date book (since 1998) and all my memos (about 600). I want to see what would be the best way get rid of my Palm Handheld and have only the IPhone, but I have encountered some problems and many steps. Everyday I have to sync the Palm Handheld at work, then sync the Palm Handheld at home with my Mac (using The Missing Sync, but it takes a long time every time), then sync the IPhone. Can you please help me??? How can I sync my data from my PC (Palm Desktop) with the IPhone? Another, thing; I do not want to use Outlook at work because the information that I want to sync (Palm) is my personal data and I want to keep using the Palm software for that.

aflores48,
Unfortunately, the iPhone is not designed to sync with Palm software. As stated in the minimum system requirements, the iPhone can sync with Outlook (2003, 2007 or Express) on a PC, or with iCal and Entourage on a Mac. If you do not want to use Outlook on the PC, you can sign up for a free Yahoo account and sync with Yahoo Address Book. Yahoo Address Book can be used to sync from PC or Mac. More information on the minimum system requirements for the iPhone can be found here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305703
More information about syncing the iPhone with your computer (including Yahoo Address Book) can be found here:

Hope this helps,

Create DBA files to export Centro Database to Another Mch with Palm Desktop Installed

Hi:
How to I create a dba file of all the info on my Centro for export to another machine with the same Centro Access/Palm database.
Thanks
DS
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

"All the info"? Or just the PIM data?
If you want to Export the database information in Contacts or the Calendar, use Palm Desktop's "Export" function. Open Contacts, choose File/Export to save the info to a file.
This can then be "Imported" by the other Centro's Palm Desktop, whether on another computer, or another Hotsync User Name on the same computer.

There is a possibility that your RAM is failing (is this original RAM or 3rd party upgrade?).
panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff8022e526cf): "a freed zone element has been modified: expected 0xdeadbeefdeadbeef but found 0xdea5beefdeadbeef, bits changed 0x8000000000000, at offset 136 of 160 in zone: ipc ports"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-2422.115.4/osfmk/kern/zalloc.c:461
1 single bit has changed in RAM that has been marked with a pattern 0xdeadbeefdeadbeef that is intended to detect when it is modified after having been released by some kernel code (including 3rd party extensions).
While some kernel code could have told the OS it was done using a bit of RAM, but then continued to use it after the OS wrote 0xdeadbeefdeadbeef into the RAM, it is also possible that the RAM is failing and switched the value of one bit from 1 to 0
0xd is 1101 in binary bits
0x5 is 0101 in binary bits
You may want to download and run Rember over and over again (as it set the repeat loops to a very high number or click Maximum). You want to run lots of passes as RAM failures can be intermittent.
<http://www.kelleycomputing.net/rember/>
You should do a clean boot, quit all apps, including anything that runs in your Menu Bar. Maybe even consider booting into Safe Mode (see next paragraph for safe mode info). This is so that as much RAM as possible is available for Rember to test.
If Rember does not find anything, you can try booting into Safe Mode to see if it is some 3rd party addition that is causing problems

Address book from Palm Desktop by Access is missing on computer!

Please help - My address book from my Palm Desktop by access is GONE - I can find only a "address.mdb" file, but no updated .aba file - Is there a way to restore this file or find a backup? I cannot imagine how it just disappeared! I no longer use the Zire handheld as it broke, please help!
Thank you

If Thunderbird will accept .csv or .tab file formats you can export the data in those formats from PD. Use the following procedure to export your data.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

How do I move addresses from one computer to another

Hi,
i have a large address book on my Palm desktop which is version 4.1.4 running on Windows XP home O/S. I am trying to port these addresses on to my new laptop which is running Windows 7 Professional O/S which has version 6.2.2 palm desktop by Access.
I tried bring all the ABA files from Palmone directory to my home directory -> Palm OS Desktop -> my profile name -> Address
I did this previously on other computers and it always picked up the files and moved over the addresses but this time, these records are not opening up for me. When I go to Palm desktop and try File -> Open Archive -> It is actually looking at the ABA files that I brought over from my ols laptop but it failes ot fetch all records over.
Appreciate if someone can help me resolve this ASAP.
Thanks in advance,

No Headers in Addresses CSV Export File

I wanted to upload my Z22 contacts from Palm Desktop to Google Contacts. I exported them as a .csv file. Google put all the information in the Notes field. There was no header row in the .csv file.
Is there some way to generate a header row? Thunderbird puts one in automatically.

How do I export a subdirectory of my address book without exporting the entire address book?

I use sub-directories (contact groups) in my address book for different groups of contacts. I need to move one group to another email client but when using the export function, there does not seem to be any way to select just one group. The export function exports the entire address group without regard to my sub groupings. Is there any way around this?

Thank you for the quick response. Right after I posted my question I tried something I had already tried without success thinking that maybe I hadn't been thorough enough. I selected all the addresses within the list I wanted to export by using my shift key rather than the "select all" feature. I then used the export tool and saved it as a csv file. It worked exactly as needed.

Exporting mail and address book to PC?

Hi everyone,
My wife recently got a PC for work (She wanted a Mac, but what can you do?). We have a Mac in our home office. The Mac is the most up-to-date with e-mail and addresses. She would like to export all the addresses and contact info from the Mac to the PC, and synchronize or export all the old e-mails to the PC. How can we do this?
The PC came with Windows XP, Outlook, and Outlook Express.
Thank you,
Rob

Regarding messages, this isn't always easy since Outlook and Outlook Express don't use the mbox format.
Something to try. There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts that can be downloaded from the following link.
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
The script to use is Archive Messages (Mail) which moves messages from the selected mailbox(es) to an archive mailbox or export them to standard mbox, plain or rich text files for backup purposes or import into other applications. You can select to move all messages or only messages sent within or certain period as well filter messages based on their read and flagged status.
Try exporting the messages as plain or rich text files for import into either Outlook or Outlook Express.
Regarding Address Book contacts, probably best to export all contacts as a tab-delimited text file for import to the Outlook or Outlook Express Address Book.
Try Address Book Exporter.

How To Move Address Book Contacts From An Earlier Mac To An IMac?

I am having zero luck trying to move the multitude of contacts from address books on a G4 (won't open at all with my new IMac) and an Intel MacBook Pro (will open on the PB Pro but I can't copy it or its contracts to disk) to my new IMac with Snow Leopard. Can it be done? Can these records be exported and brought to my IMac for importing? If so, how, preferably in bulk?
I am going to try to put my Address Book from my G4 back on a G4 (where it will open) and see if I can export any files in bulk, to put on a CD and copy to my IMac for the next step, whatever it may be.
Anybody have any suggestions how to export and move these records in bulk??? Thanks!

Greetings Gina,
If there are no pre-existing contacts in the Addressbook on the computers you are moving your original addressbook to, then you can use the File > Export > Addressbook Archive feature. This will create a self contained copy of all your Addressbook contents. Take this file (Email it, thumb drive it, burn it to a CD, put it on your iDisk, File Share it, etc. etc. etc) to whatever computer you want the addressbook on and simply double-click. It will overwrite (erase) the current Addressbook contents and put your original addressbook in it's place. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/5.0/en/9158.html
If you DO have addressbook contacts on the other computers that you do not wish to erase then highlight all the contacts in the original addressbook and choose File > Export > vCard. This will make a group vCard of all the contacts. Then take that to the new computers and double-click. This will add all the contacts in. Keep in mind if you already have some of these contacts in your addressbook you will need to get rid of them by going to Card > Look for duplicates and either deleting them or merging them. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/5.0/en/9160.html
You could also sync the Addressbooks across all the computers using MobileMe if you are a MobileMe member. However I think the export / import options I mention above would be quicker and cleaner if this is your first time moving the information over. http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/ (click on the sync section)
Hope that helps.

Address Book Exporting ... the Case of the Missing Spouse ... ?

… and missing children and missing birthdays, too.
I have had problems customizing address labels, which I discussed in detail in a separate message, entitled Wonky Address Labels. In fact, I gave up on using Apple Address Book and decided to export the database, put it in Excel, and do some column merging to get a one-time solution to my label-printing problem for my Christmas cards.
Yeah, sure I would … when Address Book will not export in anything other than an arcane address book file format.
So it was back to this forum, to review exporting suggestions. Two seemed to be offered and I tried ‘em both; first, Address Book Exporter at:
gwenhiver.net/applications/addressbookexporter/index.php
and second, some special mail scripts at:
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
These were both fun to use and worked pretty well, producing tab-delimited text files. But neither will do a complete export of the database; they won’t export spouse names, anniversary dates, children’s names or spouse/children’s birthdays ( which I had put in an ‘Other Date’ field ) … nor, BTW, will they export custom fields.
Well, if I can’t print custom labels with Apple Address Book and can’t export the full database, I guess hand-written Christmas card envelopes have a certain panache.
Or, I suppose I might use my 10-year old Windows software that I run on Virtual PC.
It would be nice if Apple would fix this Address Book exporting problem. Frankly, I don’t like the idea of having data in a database that I cannot export as a simple text file. In fact, if I had known I could not get my data OUT, I would not have put it IN to start with.
Any suggestions for exporting ALL the fields of the Apple Address Book database would be welcome.

value = value;Oh, so you have one of those new compilers that reads your mind and knows which value is which in that statement, huh?
Lucky.
The rest of us are stuck doing this.value = value;so that the compiler can distinguish the member variable from the method parameter.

How to export Date book and Address book from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book?

I have my calendar information and addresses stored in Palm Desktop date book and address book, respectively. I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everytime I try to export the date book or address book to my desktop using the vCal format, the Palm desktop crashes. My goal is to export all my data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book on the Apple OS (10.6.1). Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do this or do I just have to start from scratch and manually enter the data from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book? I looked at the Missing Sync software, but I don't think this will do the trick. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store didn't offer any solutions either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello tay8000m and welcome to the Palm forums.
Have you tried running the "Repair Disk Permissions" command in Apple's Disk Utility application yet? Launch Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" from the left side of the window, and then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
After the utility has run, try launching Palm Desktop again and then exporting your data as vCard or iCal files. If the exports aren't working for you, you can always export the data as comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that into the Apple apps you want to use.

How To Export from Mac address book to CSV file

In Mac's address book: How do you export a highlighted group of *contacts to a cvs file* (so that I can import in groups by my categories into Google contacts- that way it is easier to sort/designate the contacts one I get the contacts there into Google).
I can sync them all- but then I'd have to put them into their categories one at a time, there are too many...
thx missy
(I'm used to ms office and pc's)

Okay, *I got this issue worked out;here's how.* (Unfortunately the mac app AB2CSV doesn't open up to the screens it's supposed to in order to choose and convert or save contacts to a csv file and did crash my address book- which was very scary to see my 1533 contacts vanish!! )
Luckily somehow I had made an archive file of them all and got them back into my mac Calendar unscathed -so I lucked out...
Today at my local Apple Store in Nashville *I was shown a better way-and I'm glad to share this with you*:(They also set up my mobile me and my itouch to sync my contacts and emails too-plus got my contacts synced up to my GoogleApps acnt- so now I am in the clouds, backed up, and liberated-in spite of myself!!)
*iWorks Numbers* works similar to msExcel, so you *open up Numbers* ;get on to a *new blank page*;also *open Address Book* and highlight the contacts from your address book and *drag them right on to your Numbers page*; like magic it looks like an excel spread sheet (you can choose the columns/headers you want to use ie name,phone #,street,city, email, etc even the notes); then you go up to *Share in the menu*; *choose csv file*; and *save it*...Thank you Apple store Green Hills!! you saved me today!!
