Restoring Outlook contacts from .vcf file?
All my contacts from Outlook got deleted (Not sure yet if soocial is the culprit or nott)
I am trying to restore it, but am having problems.
I went to http://www.soocial.com/tools clicked on "Download a complete backup"
The file got saved as a "contacts.vcf" file.
In Outlook, now how do I restore all the contacts? Apparently, Outlook contacts can be imported from a .pst file only.
If feed it the .vcf file, it only imports one contact (the very first one).
I used a text editor to look into the contacts.vcf file, and all my contacts are indeed there)

Inappropriate?joyit,
outlook, does not support that. Windows XP has another phonebook peace of software. It is called "Address Book" and is found in the Accesoires folder in the Start- programs menu. You can drag a .vcf to this program and it will import the contacts......
Sounds like a great solution right? Well, at first I thought this was great. Turns out that not all contacts got imported. I think it is the photo's casing that.
So I imported all you contacts in to the Address Book app. on OSX and then exported the .vcf
This one worked and I have a .csv that as far as I can tell contains all your info from Soocial. Except the pictures.
I will mail it to you. -
Inappropriate?Thanks for your reply. Yes, before I posted my question here, I did exactly that (i.e. imported the .vcf file into Windows Address Book utility) -- but then could not figure out how to get that transferred to Outlook.
I have a suggestion for Soocial -- in your "Download a complete backup" link, you should let users download the contacts in a format that is understood by Outlook.
