Re: Export contacts Entourage to Address Book

[Neil Houghton]

Hi Ronni,

So, what would be the point of the Apple supplied scripts - are they for
some slightly different purpose or just redundant?

Cheers


Neil

Re: Erasing a HD

[David Ring]

Thank you to all that offered their assistance on this topic.

Being relatively new to Mac, I felt that this would be a good  
opportunity to go through the process of an OS re-install as there was  
no data on the MBA HD that I needed. I take your point Daniel  
regarding your comment 'In the Mac world a reinstall should be the be  
all and end all of the last
ditch attempt!' but I wanted to go through the motions anyway. I  
didn't purchase a superdrive (carting around an external unit seemed  
to defeat the purpose of purchasing an ultra portable/light weight  
wireless laptop) so the only option was to use the 'remote disk' app  
which worked well although as you suggested Rob, it was a little slow!


Got there in the end and learned a little more on the way, thanks to  
the WAMUG members.

Hi Mark and all,.

Just to add to this,..

If there was a partition setup via Bootcamp then you can remove the
partition very easily.
All you have to do is Run the Bootcamp Setup Assistant again and say  
"Create

or Remove a Windows Partition".
It will then give you the option to restore you hard drive back to one
single partition.
Very easy! :o)

Kind Regards
Daniel

only real exception to this would be if you set up XP originally as a
Bootcamp install and had to re partition your internal hard disk...
in that case I guess, not knowing if there are any repartitioning
tools for mac that will remove a partition on a live disk, then a
format and reinstall would probably be needed.

Re: Export contacts Entourage to Address Book

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Michael & Neil,

The easiest way is to open Entourage and export all the entries as  
vCards into a folder.
Then open Address Book and simply drag all the vCards into Address  
Book or use the Import vCards option under Address Book's File menu.


You can also In the Preferences menu for Entourage, you can select the  
option to synchronize your calendar and contacts with iCal and Address  
Book.

Entourage > Preferences > Sync Services

Cheers,
Ronni

which contains a script called "Entourage.scpt"

I would imagine that these would import your Entourage contacts. (I  
haven't

used any of these scripts myself).

Re: Export contacts Entourage to Address Book

[Neil Houghton]

Hi Michael,

I don't know how relevant it is but I recently noticed that in the
"AppleScript" folder (in Applications) there is an alias to "Example
Scripts".

In this folder there are folders for both "Address Book Scripts" and "Mail
Scripts" and in each of these folders is a folder called "Address Importers"
which contains a script called "Entourage.scpt"

I would imagine that these would import your Entourage contacts. (I haven't
used any of these scripts myself).

Re: Export contacts Entourage to Address Book

[Michael Hawkins]

I've answered my own question.

Exported contacts to a file saved on the desktop called Contacts Export.txt
and then imported that file into Address Book.
