Transfering addresses

[Rhisiart]

I have two users on my Mac Mini; myself and the missus. I want to transfer my address book contents from my account to hers.

I have tried exporting vcards and Address Book archive, but I can't get either to upload properly on to her address book.

Any suggestions?

Hello Rhisiart

This is how I just did it:

• Launch AB
• Click on "All" in the "Group" column
• Go to File ~> "Export Group vCard" ... I chose the Desktop as the destination but ended up putting the vCard in Users ~> Shared, so choose that as a destination in the Export dialogue box.
• Switch to the missus' account
• Launch AB
• Navigate to the Shared Folder
• Drag the vCard to the desktop and if needed, enter Admin password.
• Drag the vCard from the desktop onto the open AB window
• Click to allow the import if prompted.

​

Let me know how it goes ....

Thanks for that VT. I did more or less as you suggested but using Adderss Book archive and it worked. I don't know why it didn't work before. Thanks again.
