TICKET ARCHIVE -> Mac Address Book Into Entourage

missB - Jun 22, 2005 - 7:04 pm

Hi, is there a way to get my Mac Address Book imported or copied into Entourage? Thank You

Yes, several ways.

1. Purchase the excellent Applescript utility Sync Entourage-Address Book (versiontracker.com.)

2. Purchase E2Sync (www.e2sync.com.)

3. If you are using the latest version of Entourage you can use the Import option from the Entourage File menu when switched to Entourage's address book.

G4 system v 10.3.9
Mac Address Book v 3.1.2
Entourage v 11.1.0

1. I downloaded the trial version of Sync Entourage for Panther - and it keeps quitting during the sync process. Downloaded from a second site - same thing happened.

what am I doing wrong?

2. Don't want to spend $40 at this time - prefer trial to see if all is ok

3. Entourage does not Import direct from mac Address Book, not an option.

I am not tech saavy - what am I missing? Just trying to get my fully loaded Address Book into Entourage... kinda frustrating.

Thanks for your input.

Try this:

Create an empty folder on the Desktop. Open Address Book and select all of your listed contacts. Drag the entire selection to the empty folder you just created. You should end up with a file of vCards.

Open Entourage and click on the Address Book icon. You should have an empty contact list (you may have an entry for you.) Now drag the vCard file from the folder on the Desktop into the list window. Your contacts should appear.
