Why Importing CSV Contacts by Hand Falls Short
Four limits of the Apple Contacts import for CSV files and how PCVITA software answers every one.
- 1
Contacts Wants a Clean CSV File
Apple says you must remove line breaks inside a contact and give every address the same number of fields. PCVITA software reads your CSV file as it is and shows the columns for mapping.
- 2
Fields Need Checking After Import
Apple asks you to check the field labels and set unwanted fields to Do not import. PCVITA software maps every column before the export, so you control every pair.
- 3
Separators Must Match Exactly
Apple says fields in a CSV file need tabs or commas with no spaces around them. PCVITA software works from the column headers you see on screen.
- 4
Output Stays One Type
The Contacts app imports the file into its own address book. PCVITA software writes contact files you keep and share.
Prepare Before You Convert CSV Contacts
Six checks before your first conversion. Tick the boxes in order, then open the converter.
- Save the contacts CSV file in a folder you can find. Keep one copy untouched.
- Check the column headers so every field is simple to map. First Name, Last Name and Organization help most.
- Install both Java 8 parts, JDK and JRE on your Mac. The converter needs them.
- Set the system region to United States and the language to English as the converter requires.
- Choose the output format before you start. VCF suits address books and PST suits Outlook.
- Test the free demo on your file before you pay. Download the demo edition and convert 10 contacts.
