Apple Address Book Importer for Mac1.0

if you have an email account that has a way to export your address book (Yahoo! does) then export it to an LDIF file or Vcard file. these are the two ways to import your web-based address book!

open source shall set you free: This should show you how to import your yahoo address book into your Mac OS X Jaguar AddressBook (v3.03): 1) http://addressbook.yahoo.com/ go to import/export. Export your address book into Netscape Addressbook format, aka LDIF. 2) open Mozilla for OS X (http://www.mozilla.org/ to get the latest stable version, 1.4 as of this writing). at bottom-left-hand corner, click on address book icon. Go to Tools --> Import, pick LDIF, choose the yahoo ldif file. let it import all your stuff, verify all your data is there. 3) Still in Mozilla Address Book, Tools-->Export --> LDIF save yet another .ldif file. 4) Open AddressBook.app in Mac OS X, Import --> LDIF, pick the .ldif file generated by mozilla. 5) bickity-bam, you should be done. ==> going through mozilla appears to get around the AddressBook.app "hanging" bug i mentioned in my previous (anonymous) post, while trying to import a yahoo-generated LDIF file. MUWHAHA iSync, here i come >:] awww YEA.

it's funny i'm getting the same issue with importing my yahoo-generated LDIF file from Jaguar's Address Book's LDIF importer. it just "hangs" the importer.

The importer is buggy. I exported my Yahoo address book in LDIF, but importing it with the importer hangs the "importer".
