[Hidden-tech] Exporting IMac Address Book to CSV or similar file for use on a PC

[Wesley Rosner]

Hi Karen,

vCards are basically XML files.  There are several online converters available.  I would export the entire address book into a single vCard file and then upload it to one of these converters to convert to CSV.

My google search was "vcard to csv"

Hope it helps.

-Wes

This apparently is not available through the export feature within Address Book: there are two choices – create an archive file or export as v-cards. And neither allows for exporting as a CSV file type. This is not a new challenge, as apparently others have been looking to do this for years. There are downloadable utilities available; and someone suggested dragging v-cards (either individually or groups) onto the Apple Numbers spreadsheet – but that doesn’t seem to work well.
