    Yours is the ONLY tutorial that correctly states the data must be in a format that can be imported into Google contacts. I took your advice and exported a contact to create the template. Thank you. Very helpful.

    This video is awesome! I culled through at least a dozen videos before finding yours. The other tutorial showed only how to import the contacts name and email address (and maybe a phone number). You showed us how to import all the data! I followed your instructions and imported 250 name in their entirety and it worked flawlessly! Thanks so much!!!!

    Many thanks for this valuable guidance. By following it I have just succeeded in importing all my contacts from Apple Contacts into Google Contacts. Not difficult, once one knows what to do - thanks to you.

    This is great! I'd figured a lot of it out, but you filled in so many blanks! I still have one question about dates. I set up a new significant date field with the label "Start Date" and added a date to the data field 12/1 before doing the export so it is included in the column headings. Also put a date in Birthday. Added rows with contacts including both dates as mapped in the down load... Birthday uploads perfectly, Start Date, not so much. It comes up in Contacts as a 5 digit number. I would love to know what I'm doing wrong!!! Thanks :)

    I agree. Video was awesome. However. after I exported the google template, copied the excel categories that I wanted (basically name and email) into a csv file, I imported it to google contacts and opened it. Everything is blank. If I click on a "blank", the identifying information that I imported shows up at the bottom of the screen and the menu items of name, photo, nick name, job title, company, email are all blank. What did I do wrong?Thanks

    I have watched and googled so many times on how to find out where to add just the simple information into this template...Screenshots of where or which field to add the phone number and email would be so helpful. There are tons of videos on how to upload the excel csv file to gmail but dang it how can I get the info to upload correctly would be so awesome. That template is a bunch of nonsense and I could hardly see your tabs and still don't know where to load my information so that it will load correctly. I have been working on this for days now...anyone figure this out yet?!

    You're a terrifice teacher:
    I bought a new android phone. my contact ph list was transfer over correctly by my cell ph service. Later I decided I did not need more than one gmail address on the phone. I decided to with the advise of cust Srvc of my phone service. to just delete the old email. Wonderful, I now have one email on my new cell ph.
    Here is the problem the deleted email caused half my contact info to disappear. So I decided to reenter the lost contact via my gmail by computer. MY FINGERS ARE TIRED. HELP ASAP ,PLEASE. Isn't there a want to download contacts from one gmail to the other gmail; without the spread sheet. I've had google photos transferred by email. Can contacts transfer be done the same way?

I have an excellent sheet with name, phone, address, POC that I would like to have in my iPhone contact or Outlook (but I do not have may emails). I would love you recommendation and a tutorial.

  • @bobrapp6124

    The export file, google csv, does not include the headings for a standard contacts file i.e. no address, state, zip, phone number, email address, etc dolumn headers. The method is sound but its value for importing contacts between email programs is of questionable value. You can't map these if the headers don't exist.

    How can I import my contacts from Skipio into Google contacts. Google has a + in front of the phone number and Skipio doesn't ...I tried to do a regular import and but it wouldn't accept the phone numbers because they didn't a have + in front of the phone number. How can I get my phone numbers from Skipio into my Google VOICE?

    Hi sir. I am trying to import contacts from an xls file into google contacts. I switched to the old version of google contacts, i saved the xls file as a cvs.file (which looked exactly the same), I did the import (sometimes an error message, sometimes no error message), but I see no added contacts in google contacts.
    I followed your instructions, and when i PREVIEW the document i created with an empty field, it looks fine: colums with the google values. However, when i OPEN the document, it is a chaos-like comma separated one cell document (like this: Name,Given Name,Additional Name,Family Name,Yomi Name,Given Name Yomi,Additional Name Yomi,Family Name Yomi,Name Prefix,Name Suffix,Initials,Nickname,Short Name,Maiden Name,Birthday,Gender,Location,Billing Information,Directory Server,Mileage,Occupation,Hobby,Sensitivity,Priority,Subject,Notes,Language,Photo,Group Membership). Anything wrong with the xls/cvs file? Any suggestions?

    Hmm. What do you like about Apple and its products? Why is it your platform of choice? I'm thinking of migrating to apple from 30 years of windows. Good idea or really bad one in your opinion?

    • @dottotech
      @dottotech  10 лет назад

      Oh Judith Stephens The BIG question. Overall I prefer using a Mac, specifically there are a few Apps that I really use a lot, ScreenFlow is how I create my videos.
      Now Windows 8 changes a lot as you now need to learn a new OS regardless if you stay in Windows or migrate to Mac.
      My advice is always, If cost is not an issue and there are no Apps that are only in Windows I would choose a Mac.
      Having said that, if you live in Outlook, stay in Windows.
      Hope that helps!

    This is too much information you have to supply to save your phone contacts
    I have a Nokia android phone and it was hacked and focused on Google bloatware and too many apps by Google
    I have complained to Google many times about that new updates that are hard to understand.
    Before your forced us to accept your new unnecessary updates , I never had any problems the previous google accounts about 5 years ago or maybe longer than 5 years ago.
    Cheers Mate
