Hi there
How do you import Address Book vCard groups?
Hi Stuart,
Seeing as no-one has replied to your question, I'll ask a couple of
questions & give suggestions below.
Have these groups been exported from another Apple Address Book by
selecting the group 'Export > Export Group vcards?
No. I've got Address Book v4.1.1. There is no <Export Group vCards>.
Yes there is:
1. In Address Book v4.1.1 Click on the Group you want to export
2. File > Export - Export Group vCard
NB: Notes & photos are not exported by default. To include these
fields when you export cards, choose Address Book > Preferences,
and then click vCard. Select “Export Notes in vCards” and “Export
photos in vCards.”
1. Do you have a Group with the same name in the Address Book you
want to import the Group vCard into?
Not yet!
If you already have contacts in a Group with the same name that you
are going to import the 'exported' Group vcard into, it will ask on
import do you want to overwrite the current one or merge them
together into one contact.
2. If you don't have a contact Group with the same name where you
want to Import the Group
you'll need to create those groups in Address Book first:
a) Create a new group. Select it (it should be blank, so you'll see
no contacts).
b) Drag your group Vcard into the window.
NB: Before you do any of this, always make a backup of your
Address Book (Choose File > Export > Address Book Archive, choose a
name for the file & select where you ant to export the file to) in
case you make a mistake, as well as after you make any change (add,
delete, make notes, etc).
Cheers,
Ronni
