| problem importing to address book i have finally decided to import my addresses from excel into address book (i switched from a PC about a year ago). i exported the addresses to a csv text file and then imported it from address book. that worked fine, i set up the right labels and then clicked okay on the "text file import" box after everything was set. the problem is, when i click okay, nothing happens. the program isn't frozen but clicking okay does nothing, nothing actually imports into the address book. what's happening?  |

| check to see that there isnt another popup alert box hidden somewhere that you need to click on first, like a warning or confirmation or something. try closing all other applications and windows?

| how many adresses you try to import ? i had the same problem before (with 10.3 or so) but its comes up that the importer does not any task-controlling .. so the application apears to be frozen ... (this was happen as i try to import about 4000 vcards) |

| make sure the file is "coma seperated" and you have in the first line the field-descriptions. 159 contacts should not be a problem at all and usaly not take longer as a few secounds. you can not import pictures with csv's in the mac adressbook (that works only with vcards) check "View" - "Last import" if there is anything happen before the importer are normally very smart and detect fields himself easy |

| i exported the file as a comma-separated file. do i need to do anything else? everything shows up great in the import dialog box...i can see all the addresses and they're set up okay. the okay button is blue and i click it and it turns white but then nothing happens. |

| I have the same problem. Actually, the "address" fields are causing the problem. Importing everything except address fields (street, postal code, etc) works fine. Importing any addresses (home, work, others) doesn' t work (as described above - clicking blue "ok" button gives no reaction). I am using Mac OS X 10.4 and Address Book 4.0.6. |
