You can export all your Palm contacts from Palm Desktop (I don't remember what format Palm Desktop exports) and then import them into the Mac's Address Book. It can read vCards, LDIF or text files.

You have never synced your Treo with your Mac's Address Book application?

Here is one option with a required purchase and I'm not sure about any free alternatives besides Apple's iSync application. Have you tried using iSync to sync your Treo with your Mac's Address Book?

i tried to search an import from the mac's address book and could not get it to do the import. any ideas?


First you have to export the Treo's addresses before you can import them into Address Book. I don't know how the Treo works these days - it used to work with Palm's desktop program. You must have your addresses somewhere on your computer, try to do an export from the program.

i have read all these posts but i still have a problem. i need more detailed, step by step instructions to download my treo calendar and contacts. it did only the contacts out of the mac addressbook,, and none of the calendar, so it seems it didnt take anything from the palm info on the computer. how do i do this? i read about uploading to the desktop and i did that. where do i go from here? thanks
