![]() ![]() ![]() You can manually create a new view and exclude the Notes field from the export if necessary. You’ll want to be careful about exporting the Notes field as it is multi-lined and may have trouble importing into Excel. Enter a name for your export file and click on Save.Select Export: All records and Fields: All table view fields.On the Libraries side bar click on “Address Book”.The solution I have come up with to export this data is reliable but requires that you own the popular personal database tool called Bento ($49 US) from FileMaker. You might give it a try but I was not happy with the results. Phone fields with custom labels get exported strangely and Notes fields have issues because they are multi-lined. Unfortunately, the files this utility provides are largely unusable and not even easily recognizable by Excel. The closest hope I found of a good exporter is “AB2CSV” or “ Address Book to CSV Exporter” a 99 cent Mac OS X utility available from the Apple App Store that allows you to export your own Address Book in a CSV or VCF file. vCards can be read by some contact management applications and the archive is primarily for use as a backup. Neither is terribly useful or easy to access like an Excel file. There are two built-in Export options: “Export as vCard” or “Address Book Archive”. Once you have entered information into the Mac OS X Address Book, there is not a straightforward and easy way to get it out.
