NETsettings NowPod CommentaryCan NowPod help in transferring data from Now Contact to Address Book? - Version: 1.2b5, 8/17/2005 09:55PM PST

pohld
I'm trying to get contact data from Now Contact 3.9.3 to Apple's Address Book 3.0.3. I'm running Mac OS X 10.2.8.

Problem is Now Contact is totally hosed on this system (used to work fine) and now every time it starts I get a "no such volume exists" error message even after a totally clean reinstall. So unless and until I can fix that, I don't have the option of going into Now Contact and exporting the data in LDIF or vCards (the only two formats this version of Contact supports for exports). I need to get the contact data straight from the Contact file itself. I realize this file could be corrupt as part of the general Contact melt-down on this machine, but I also have backups of known good copies of the Contact file from before "the troubles" which contains most of the data I need.

I don't have an iPod, but can NowPod be used to convert a Now Contact data file into a form which can be read or imported by Address Book?

Thanks,
- Derrick

NETsettings NowPod ReviewNowPod RULES! - Version: 1.2b5, 12/18/2003 01:56AM PST

NowPak from NUDC is worthless if you're running Panther, or even 10.2.7. NowPak wouldn't open and this is the help i got from their support: "This is a known issue on OS 10.2.7 and above that will be addressed in a future release of the software." Worthless advice.

On the other hand, NowPod was a cinch and worked quickly and immediately. Super easy to use.

Great work!

NETsettings NowPod CommentaryNowPak vs. NowPod - Version: 1.2b5, 6/2/2003 03:46PM PST

NowPak doesn't work with Mac OS 9 and will only sync your entire Now Contact database. It has no control over which fields you import, gives you no progress until it's done syncing and can't sync automatically.

Given these differences, what would you suggest to improve NowPod's features and ease-of-use?
