How to export CSV file with specific name?

Why won't Yahoo export contacts to .csv file?

  • I have noticed that others have had this problem, but there doesn't seem to be a solution. Why won't Yahoo export contacts to .csv file? I'm trying to create a .csv file with all of my yahoo contacts. I hit the "export all" for a yahoo.csv, screen shows a file downloads but no contact data is included in the excel file. Its just an empty excel file that includes headers...ie first name, last name, address, email etc...but none of the contacts' data is included. I've tried to open the file that it yields in notepad without any luck. Additionally, I have tried to export it via the "microsoft outlook export now" option an it still yields a blank document. Is there something that I'm doing wrong?

  • Answer:

    I have the same problem. I want to buy an Android and thus sync all my Yahoo contacts with a Google account and the .csv file doesn't even save half my contacts!! What to do?? I need all the Yahoo contacts as it's synchronized with my BlackBerry! Blackberry can't be synchronized with a Google account, right? :((

I'm having a similar issue. My account contains 441 Yahoo! contacts, all of which I had imported from Facebook. I've gotten the same result: a CSV file with a header row ("Title","First Name",...) and nothing below it. Twice, I received errors from Yahoo! saying that my contacts were temporarily unavailable, and advising that I try again in 10 minutes. Here's what I've tried: Multiple browsers: Opera, Firefox, IE, and Chrome Rebooting Shut-down Clearing browser cache (in fact, Opera was installed freshly for the purpose of testing the previous theory) Alternative file types: Outlook, Netscape Changing the font within the CSV (in case the entries had imported as white text) Opening the CSV in Notepad (it gives all of the header entries in comma-separated quotation sets, but nothing else) UPDATE: It seems like a sketchy site, but the following link can get your Facebook contacts into a CSV. I know it doesn't really help this particular problem, but it got the end result I wanted. http://www.friendstogmail.com/
