Hy Brian!

Which contacts are you talking about? Please specify your application and provide us with the results of "uname -a" from your favourite shell.

Hello

If you can export contacts in vcard format, you can import them into apple's Address Book very easily.

Aquina:

I was referring to my email address book in Evolution. They are called "Contacts". I am not very knowledgeable in Ubuntu language, so you will have to explain what "uname-a" is, and also what is a "shell"???

Bhavani:

This may work, but I am not sure how to save the entire contacts list in "vcards".
Could you help with this, please?

Thanks,

Brian H

Under menu item File there are two options, one to export a single contact and one to export your complete addressbook as a vCard.
