What file should i save my entourage contacts to import in address book

Help, again, sorry.
I need to import contacts from Entourage to Mail, what type of file is needed to be exported from Entourage to enable mail to import it?
Thank you.
Dean Jackson

The default export option for Entourage contacts is a tab-delimited plain text file which should work since the Tiger Address Book includes a Text File import option which doesn't always work as intended.
A better option in my opinion is creating a folder on the Desktop named Contacts or whatever you prefer.
Select a contact in the Entourage address book and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Select All to select/highlight all contacts.
Click and drag the highlighted contacts to the created folder on the Desktop. This will create a copy of each contact as a separate vCard file.
At the Address Book menu bar, go to File > Import and select vCards. Navigate to the created folder on the Desktop.

  • What size should i save my pictures to make a good high def. DVD?

    Ok, I am using Elements 10 with Premere 10 to create a DVD high definition movie of our trip to Rome to display on our hi def tv. What I want to know is what size should I save my pictures after fixing them. The JPEGS are usually saved to around 2 mb while the NEF's are saved around 6-11 mb's.  I am afraid that the 2 mb files will not retain enough data to show well on the high def TV and maybe the 11 mb pictures may be overkill resulting in long rendering times and larger movie sizes. Anyone have any information on this. Both the Elements 10 and Premere 10 manuals don't address this. The only thing I could find was that they support up to 4086 x 4086 size pictures. Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I am not an expert on this subject but since nobody has replied yet, I thought I would give you my current thoughts on the subject so then someone can either confirm it or shoot me down in flames.
    If we are talking about a HD TV, they have a screen resolution of about 1920 x 1080 or 1360 x 768 so if your images are greater than that, something has to do some down sizing.
    I think that a normal DVD can has a limitation on size of 720 x 480 (NTSC) or 720 x 576 (PAL). To get a greater resolution than that you need to talk about Blu-ray.
    The important thing to think about is the aspect ratio. The widescreen TVs are 16:9 and your photos are probably 4:3. If you want a full screen picture without black margins each side then I suggest that you do some cropping first.
    I tend to crop to 16:9 aspect ratio (using crop tool) and then resize the image to 1920 x 1080 (using image resize). I use a larger size if I know I want to use pan & zoom effects. I use that size, even though some pixels will be lost, just in case I switch to Blu-ray in the future and it might save a bit of work then.
    Hope that helps (and is correct)

  • What files should I transfer back to a clean install of mountain lion?

    Hi,
    I have a 2.4 GHz core 2 duo running snow leopard. I want to upgrade to mountain lion but want to start with a clean install. i have everything backed up on an external hard drive. My questions are this: what files should I transfer over from 10.6.8 while leaving the old junk behind. I will reinstall only the compatible apps later.
    My second question should I use migration assistant or set-up assistant? I can't seem to find the necessary tutorial that is straight forward for this.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    If you're doing a clean install, which usually isn't necessary, then you want to bring over as little as possible. You can use Migration Manager in Setup Assistant to bring over your Accounts if there are no problems there. (If there are it probably accounts for the issues you're having and you'll need to troubleshoot your Home folder.)
    You'll probably want to leave settings behind. Applications you already said you would install later.
    The reason to run Migration Manager on the Setup Assistant is becuase after that it tends to create a second Home folder, which is not helpful.
    Be sure you have a good backup before you begin.

  • I just bought an external hard drive. What files should I back up?

    I just bought a 60gig external hard drive and I wanted to know what files should I back up?

    The easiest is to drag /Users/<yourhomefoldername> to the backup drive.
    Only the files you've created can't be replaced. The rest is on CDs, DVDs, or can be purchased again if need be.
    I don't bother with clones because there's always the possibility of trouble down the line if you have to restore from one. (Something could be wrong with the clone, or it could be altered if you have to boot from it.) Why take the chance, when the OS and apps are expendable? And, if you don't test that the clone is good (by restoring to a blank drive), you're just fooling yourself as to its viability.
    If the internal drive dies, you take the time to install a new one, load up OS and applications, then copy your home folder back. So your computer will be unusable for a half-day---big deal. This doesn't happen every day.
    The main thing is that you've backed up your home folder.

  • My Mac Book Pro is giving me a message that the start up disk is full, how do I delete files, and what files should I be deleting

    My Mac Book Pro is giving me a message that the start up disk is full, how do I delete files, and what files should I be deleting

    There are several nice programs that can help you figure out what's on your computer - OmniDiskSweep, WhatSize, and DaisyDisk are the three I like. If you've had your computer for a while - and especially if this isn't your first Mac and you've been migrating from one computer to another, one of these programs can help you find files you didn't know your computer still had. For example, when I was trying to shed files to fit int a 256GB SSD, I discovered I had nearly 1GB of files in my Application Support folder belonging to programs I no longer used.
    Other than that, your easy choice are music, video, and photos. They tend to be the big files. A movie will generally be at least 1.25GB, for example.

  • Preserve Outlook contacts import in address book

    Hi,
    I'm trying to export all my contacts from Outlook to Address Book and keep the groups ('categories' in MS Outlook). I've tried Outlook2Mac and exporting it to tab delimited files, but my groups are lost. My last attempt:
    In Outlook, I can double click on one category and send all the contacts as separate vCards. In Mail, I save all the attachments and drag them from my download folder into a group in Address Book. But.. then it adds annoying text in every contact:
    X-MS-OL-DEFAULT-POSTAL-ADDRESS: 1
    X-MS-OL-DESIGN: <card xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/outlook/12/electronicbusinesscards" ver="1.0" layout="left" bgcolor="ffffff"><fld xmlns="" prop="name" align="left" dir="ltr" style="b" color="000000" size="10"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="email" align="left" dir="ltr" color="000000" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="addrhome" align="left" dir="ltr" color="000000" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/><fld xmlns="" prop="blank" size="8"/></card>
    It seems a script from http://forum.soft32.com/mac/Deleting-Paragraph-Address-Book-Note-Field-ftopict39 458.html might provide help. But as a complete AppleScript noob, I can't get it to work. Anyone any ideas?
    tell application "Address Book"
    activate
    set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
    set allCards to every person
    repeat with i from 1 to the number of people
    set theCurrentPerson to person i
    set theCurrentPersonsName to the name of theCurrentPerson
    set theCurrentPersonsNotes to the note of theCurrentPerson
    if theCurrentPersonsNotes contains "X-MS-OL-DEFAULT-POSTAL-ADDRESS:" then
    set theParas to the text items of theCurrentPersonsNotes
    set theParaCount to count of theParas
    set theNewParas to {}
    set theFinalParas to {}
    repeat with j from 1 to theParaCount
    if the text of item j of theParas does not contain "X-OUTL" then
    set the end of theNewParas to the text of item j of theParas
    end if
    end repeat
    set the theNewParaCount to count of theNewParas
    repeat with j from theNewParaCount to 1 by -1
    if the text of item j of theNewParas is not equal to "" then
    repeat with k from 1 to j
    set the end of theFinalParas to the text of item k of theNewParas
    end repeat
    exit repeat

    end repeat
    set the note of theCurrentPerson to (theFinalParas as string)
    end if

  • Iphone contacts to empty ibook address book

    I have a new iphone and want to sync 'Contacts' to my ibook which has nothing in the 'Address Book'. I've tried using 'Mobile Me' but all it wants to do is replace my iphone 'Contacts' with my empty ibook 'Address Book'!! Please can anyone help?

    I do not think the problem was solved - what was completed was a work around. 
    I have the same problem - open itunes, plug in iphone, select info, synch contacts, select merge contacts (iphone contacts will move to address book and visa versa) Mac to Iphone success - Iphone to Mac - no go.
    This is how it should work - and it is not???  Why?  How do you make the itunes synch work?
    Synching with mobile me is a great work around - if you use mobile me.
    Synching with icloud is great to backup but does not get contacts added on your iphone onto your mac.
    How do you get contacts added to your iphone into address book on your map with synch?

  • Can I upload one contact from my iMac address book to my iphone from iCloud?

    Can I upload one(1) contact from my iMac address book using icloud to my iphone without having to upload the whole address book??

    No, it would upload (sync) your entire address book.  If you want to get a single contact to your phone from Address Book you can select it, then go to File>Export>Export vCard and save it to your desktop.  Then email the saved vCard (.vcf file) to yourself, open the email on your phone and tap the attachment to import the contact to your phone.

  • Best Practice for Shared Contacts available as an Address Book in Outlook??

    Yep so crazy that Microsoft still refuses (by design) to enable address book option for Shared contacts!!!!!!!  So I am asking what do they suggest then for my clients to have a shared contact list that is available as an address book and available
    to sync to your phone?
    Problem:
    I have a client that the boss has a contact list in his outlook that he has synced to his phone that is shared so that everyone else on his team can see the contacts, since it is a shared contact list users are not able to add it to their address book (by
    design..nice design)
    Solutions I know of:
    1.Use public folder for contact list...= Nope public folder contact list will not sync with his iphone/ipad...(yes there are 3rd party tools but I would prefer to not go this route)
    2.Sharepoint....I have heard this one but don't know much about it.   How does it sync to outlook and phones?  Is it seemless?  can user add contacts in outlook?
    3. ??
    Seems like this would be a huge issue that microsoft would have fixed by now.  Let me know if anyone has any ideas... 
    Sbs 2003 I will miss you !!!!

  • Missing Contact Details in Text address book

    I have a 6500c and have noticed that i have a full list of contact details in my address book (sync'd with my PC) but when i go to send a text and access my address book via the text window i am missing about 100 names...
    any ideas what's wrong and how to sort it out?
    cheers

    I did have all addresses downloaded through icloud when I first purchased my iphone 5 but since then I have attached various photos to people in my address book on my imac and would now like those details to be shown on my iphone.
    Mac OS X version 10.7.5
    Iphone 5.

  • When importing my address book from Outlook why do I have multiple entries for the same contact?

    I have an address book and it contains one list in Outlook. I just downloaded Thunderbird and imported my address book. The address book and one list imported very easily but there are anywhere from 3-5 entries for each person in my contacts. If I delete the extras they are removed from my list as well. Why are there multiple listings for each contact and how can I remove the duplicates without losing my list entries?

    as I was looking thru pictures in my finder I noticed there were several copies of the same pictures I had taken yesterday. I just went thru all Seven copies of the pictures (accidental pics of my hands and the desk etc) and right clicked and moved  them to trash, then I thought I'd look it up when I realized its not just these pics, but very many had een stored in groups of three or four.
    1. Why is that?
    Depends on where you saw them - If they were in the iPhoto library iPHoto has either two or three different versions (no duplicates) or each photos in its library - this is not optional and can not be changed  --  If they were not in the iPhoto library then you can do what you please with them and they have nothing to do with iPhoto - iPhoto is only involved with the photos in its library
    2. Why is it advised to NEVER make changes to the structure or contents of iPhoto in Finder?
    (as quoted Below)
    "I would suggest using one of the proven safe programs - if you are going to manually remove them be sure to remember that you NEVER make any chnages to the structure or contents of the iPhoto library using the finder - only make changes using iPhoto"
    Very simple - if you do you will destroy your iPhoto library and have to start over losing all work you have done in iPhoto - The iPHoto library is a SQLite database and there are NO user servicable parts in the iPhoto library and any changes made using teh finder will corrupt the database and cause dataloss
    Is that a good enopugh reason for you?
    So if these photos were in the iPhoto library when you
    I just went thru all Seven copies of the pictures (accidental pics of my hands and the desk etc) and right clicked and moved  them to trash,
    You destroyed your iPhoto library and will either have to restore your backup from before you did this. put everything back EXACTLY like it was before or start over

  • Is it possible to export my outlook contacts to my macbook address book?

    Hi! I am trying to export my outlook contacts to my MacBook address book, is it possible or should I type every contact again? thanks!

    There is a 3rd party application called o2m that does this and I can vouch for the fact that it works - a client of mine was going crazy until we found and used it.
    Outlook sure makes it difficult to export mail stuff, doesn't it?
    Best of luck.

  • Unable to sync contacts from iPhone to Address Book...works the other way

    I am unable to have changes on my iPhone reflect in my Mac's address book. For example, I would delete a contact on the iphone, but it stays there in the Mac's address book after sync. The worst part is that now on subsequent syncs, the contact is never added back to the phone or deleted from the computer. I am able to create as many contacts as I want on the phone and sync them to the address book, but just not delete modify them.
    Creating/deleting contacts in the address book works.
    So far, I have tried:
    1. Resetting the sync history.
    2. Replacing all my iPhone contacts with those in address book.
    3. Unselecting and reselecting sync contacts from iTunes.
    4. Archiving my address book, deleting everything in it, syncing, and then repopulating it.
    5. Restoring my iPhone.
    None of this has worked, and I am close to pulling my hair out. I just fixed issues with the new Safari bookmarks sync, and now this. Can anyone please help me fix this issue? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the idea of looking at the Console. I've created new contacts on my MacBook and my iPhone, but neither is syncing to the other, in fact a new contact group I created in Address Book doesn't even show up in the list of groups in the Contacts sync window in iTunes. Here's what the Console says every time I sync:

    Why does Lion KEEP reversing changes you make in address book and other applications without your consent and without wanting it to??? Plus address book will NOT import old address book contacts from Snow Lepoard 10.6 and keep them.  This Lion OXS 7 is .. becoming very frustrating ... it will NOT keep changes made in the Address Book and it has destroyed my contacts which I only have electronically since 10.4 in my address book. I am NOT happy with this OS7 it has a lot of issues and faults.  How can one stop automatic reversing of data when inputting???
    Please help!

    Relax. Your address book database is corrupted.
    If you are syncing your Contacts with MobileMe or something else, disable it for now.
    Backup your address book by going to File>Export>Address Book Archive.
    Quit Address Book.
    Open your Library by holding down the Option (alt) key while selecting the Go menu in Finder. Select Library. Navigate into your Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the addressbook-v22.abcddb file.
    Open Address Book. It will recreate the database from the raw data.
    See how that works. If it is ok, then reenable syncing and see how that works.
