Hi there,
Would anyone know of a way to import addresses from my Entourage Address Book across to my Apple Address Book?
I am running 10.4.8 on my 15' PB and 10.3.9 on a G4 iMac.
If there is a solution, would I be able to use it on my sister's eMac running 10.2.8?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Have you tried just exporting the Entourage Address Book and simply dragging that right into the Address Book window?

Hi analogika,
Thanks very much for the info - I am extremely grateful - you 'jogged' my memory!
I have today tried dragging each address from the Entourage Address Book into the 'Name' window of the Address Book and it works like a charm in Tiger and Panther 10.3.9, sadly the interface of the Address Book in Jaguar seems to be a little different - not having a separate 'Name' window - and this method does not seem to work. Any thoughts?
On the other hand, I last used Jaguar about 3 years ago so I may have forgotten my 'navigation' skills, therefore the problem could still be with my memory!!
best

Hm.

Well, once it's stored in an Address Book on Panther, shouldn't you just be able to drag the entries into a Finder folder to create a bunch of .vcf vCard files that you can then import into Jaguar? can't remember offhand whether the Jaguar Address Book ate .vcf files...

On Tiger (and possibly Panther), a recent update to Entourage allowed it to sync the Entourage address book with the Mac OS X address book. Go to Entourage's Preferences -> Sync Services to see the various sync options.
