Import Contacts From Apple To Google



You can sync Google contacts to your iPhone in just a few steps. If you have a Gmail account, you might want to import all of your Google contacts to your iPhone so your address book is properly. A.pst file is the data file used by Outlook for Windows to archive your email messages, contacts, calendar items, tasks, and notes. Import the.pst file in order to transfer messages from a Windows-based computer to Outlook 2016 for Mac or Outlook 2019 for Mac.

Import Contacts From Google To Apple

  • Remove any line breaks within a contact’s information.

  • Make sure all addresses have the same number of fields. Add empty fields as needed.

  • Make sure fields are separated by a tab (in a tab-delimited file) or a comma (in a CSV file), instead of another character. Don’t include spaces before or after the tabs or commas.

Import Apple Contacts To Outlook

  1. In the Contacts app on your Mac, choose File > Import, select the file, change the encoding if necessary, then click Open.

  2. If you’re importing a text file, review the field labels.

    • If the first card contains headers, make sure the headers are correctly labeled or marked “Do not import.” Any changes you make to this card are made to all cards in the file. To not import the headers card, select “Ignore first card.”

    • To change a label, click the arrows next to the label and choose a new label. If you don’t want to import a field, choose “Do not import.”

When you import contacts from an Exchange account, information that isn’t supported is added to the Note field. Custom fields aren’t imported.

When you sign in with the same Apple ID on each of your devices and turn on Contacts in iCloud preferences or settings, your contacts are available on all your devices, and changes you make to contacts on one device appear on the others.
