How to Import Contacts from Palm Desktop or Macintosh Address Book Applications

This article discusses how to import contacts from Palm Desktop or Macintosh Address Book Applications using the new vCard importer in Contact Hero.

Palm Desktop

Open Palm Desktop and select all your contacts. Then choose "Export vCard..." from the File menu.

Macintosh Address Book App

Open the Macintosh Address Book and select all your contacts. Then choose "Export Group vCard..." by control-clicking (or right clicking) over the All group.

Importing to ContactHero

If you are just starting with Contact Hero, you should see a notice to import some contacts when you log in. If not, or if you have already created some contacts, you can access the importer at anytime from either Your Account page or the right hand side of the Contacts list. Click on Import Contacts.

Choose option #2 and select your file of vCards. Click the Import vCards button.

You will now be returned to the main contact screen with a message "vCard Import In Progress. Depending on the size of the file this may take a few minutes..."

Wait a moment, then refresh the browser window to see your contacts. We are continuing to work on making this process better, so please contact us if you have any problems or suggestions.
