You are now ready to import your exported Apple Contacts into your Office 365 account after you have transitioned to Office 365. I recently bought a new G5 and could never find a working solution or app to properly move my Outlook 2003 contacts complete with all the data to the Mac Address Book. csv file will be saved in the Downloads folder. To finish the process, select convert to save the. Next to the "Filter:" field, uncheck the box labeled vCards with e-mail only. Using the converter, select the vCard file you saved in the previous step.įor each of the two "Format:" drop-down menus, select CSV and Comma, then check the Add header line box.
Click the right arrow to continue, and then follow the instructions. To export all items in Outlook, select Items of the following types, and then select all the check boxes. Choose to filter by category or item type. To convert the contacts' vCard to a Comma Separated Values (.csv) file, you will need to use a third-party converter.Ī similar online tool to the one demonstrated below can be found at: vCard to LDIF/CSV Converter. On the File menu, select Export > Outlook for Mac Data File. Give your file a descriptive name, then select the location where you would like to save it. Select the contact list you would like to export (e.g., All Contacts).įrom the Contacts menu, select File, Export, then Export vCard.
If you want to export the contacts to earlier Excel versions, then select ' Microsoft Excel 97-2003 '. Select ' Comma Separated Values (Windows) ' if you want to export your Outlook contacts to Excel 2007, 2010 or 2013 and click the Next button. If you use contact groups, please make a note of them prior to migrating so that you can more easily re-create them in Office 365. On the first step of the Import and Export wizard, choose ' Export to a file ' and then click Next. Important: For those who use contact groups, please be aware that the individual contacts of your address book will be included in the export but your contact groups will not. The reason for this is Apple Mail cannot export auto-fill/auto-complete information, the export is completed by creating a new contact entry for previously email recipients/senders. Important: If you are interested in exporting the auto-fill/auto-complete history from your Apple Mail program, please make sure to complete that step prior to exporting your contacts.
