Transfer Address Book from OSX to Outlook

Moving from your address box in Macintosh OS X to Outlook can be a challenge. Here is how I did it.


kabucek requested this interesting tutorial. He wanted to get the addresses off his apple mac and into Outlook. Here is how I have accomplished this in the past.

1. Download and run AddressBookToCSV on your apple system
2. Click the Export Address Book to CSV button and save the exported file
3. Get this exported file to your windows system. You can email it, put it on a USB drive, CD-R, whatever.
4. Open Outlook on your PC
5. Click the File menu
6. Select Import and Export option
7. Select Import from another program or file
8. Select a Comma Seperated Values format
9. Browse and import it.

    Worked great, but would like to copy certain groups of my address book and not the whole thing. How can you specify a certain group to copy?

    Same happened for me – is there a way to get all fields into the CSV file?
