The record in Contacts that contains your own information-sometimes called the “Me” card-can be exported and sent just like any other vCard. The recipient can open Contacts and choose File > Import to import the contacts. You can now send that file to someone else the same way you’d send any other file-see Send Files to Others. Choose a name and location for the exported card and click Save.In Contacts, select one or more contacts.If your goal is to send multiple contacts in a single vCard, this is the best way to do it: Once you have the vCard, you can manually email it, send it as a Messages attachment, share a Dropbox link, or send it in any other way of your choosing. The OS X Contacts app lets you create a vCard containing any number of contacts-for example, to share the details for everyone involved in a project. That means any changes I make to the contact’s record won’t sync with you later on (if you want to do that, see Sync Contacts with Others), but either one of us could independently make changes to the record that would sync across our own devices (see Sync Contacts across Devices). In this chapter, I talk about contact sending. (A vCard can hold information for one or more contacts.) I could, of course, copy the address, phone number, and other details into an email message or instant messaging app, but if that data is already in Contacts for OS X or iOS, I can send it all to you much more easily in a special format called a vCard, which the app will happily generate for me. Let’s say I’ve told you about a friend or business colleague and I want you to have that person’s contact information.

I don't want to do that, because I don't see how I might remove the newly-added cards (when I'm done with the job) other than card-by-card manually. How might I import these cards, do the work, and then be able to remove them? I could import the other computer's cards then work with them in my computer's "Last Import" smart group, but importation seems to require merging the incoming cards with the existing cards. Searching the net doesn't find a solution either.
Getting my computer's Contacts.App to work with a different data file, or importing the new data into a separate Contacts.app group, or importing the new data in a manner that would subsequently allow me to remove the new data from my Contacts.app, would all be suitable approaches.Īpple's help pages don't address the issues of segregation or multiple data sources. vcf file, and not the cards on my computer. The job I want to do involves only the already-exported cards in the. Each Contacts file is ~300 entries, and there is some overlap.
I wish to work with them on my computer without merging them with the cards already in my computer's Contacts. vcf file of Contact cards from another computer.
