Hi,

I am trying to convert my contacts.cbd file into anything readable by Excel or Outlook (i.e. .csv or .vcf). Unfortunately, I no longer have my card scan or Psion device and am now using an Apple Mac G5 with OS X 10.5 Leopard.

Would anyone be willing to convert my contacts..cdb file to a text delimited or .vcf file please?

Thanks

I have the same problem - running Leopard on a Mac, and both my Psions have crashed, leaving me with backup files on my old PC. How can I convert Contacts, Agenda and Spreadsheet so they can be read on a Mac?
Many thanks,
Marty

Contacts you can convert it with the emulator on your PC to a cvf file
But the Agenda and the Spreadsheet without a Psion --> ?????

I don't know if NConvert works on the emulator.
If so then you can convert Sheet-files it to a xls-file.

What is broken the screencable (5MX) or the battery pack (Revo)?
If so then you can use the Psions with the PC and PsiWin and convert the files.

Revo - Turn it on the current, put the backup onto the revo and after that convert the files to the PC.
5MX - Push (Ctrl+L), the right errow key, enter. (You set the link to desktop "on") Put the backup onto the 5MX and after that convert the files to the PC.

Thanks so much for your prompt reply. The Psion (5Mx) died suddenly and won't talk to my PC (I've connected in the past when it was only the screen that died). And when I try to convert my Contact files in Psiwin I get an error message "unable to load convertors for specified file", and the spreadsheet converts to .XLS, but it only converts the first quarter of the data. Very frustrating.
