Wes,

What program was your address book in on the PC? Outlook? Did you export it or just copy it over?

Anyone helping will probably need that before progressing.

Not tried either of these, but if you're taking addresses off of XP Address Book then I'd try:

a) In XP Address Book export as a Business Card and in Apple Address Book import as vCard.

if that doesn't work

b)In XP Address Book export as Other Address Book - Text (CSV) and in Apple Address Book import as text.

I just emailed the file from my pc and now have it in my documents in my macbook how can I transfer it to my address book from there is that possible I tried the vcard but it will only let me send one contact at a time I am using outlook express
