I want to create a new Apple ID to share contacts calendars etc across 2 computers and 3 iPhones but can't find a way of copying saving or exporting the contacts file in a format that an be re-imported into the new OD Contacts file.

I understand that you want to transfer some 400 contacts from your Old Apple ID to a New Apple ID. We shall use iCloud.com to accomplish that. Follow these steps:

Not at all helpful! What I'm trying to do is create a new joint Apple ID which both my wife and I can ascribe to and use on our desktop, laptop, phones and iPad. This is simple enough - the problem comes when trying to copy all our existing Contacts en bloc to this new ID in iCloud - rather than having to do them one by one (nearly 400 contacts)
If you use a single AppleID with iCloud, you’re both sharing iCloud email, messages in iCloud, notes in iCloud, Cell phone and FaceTime call logs, and all other data and information tied to the AppleID. Is that what you want?
Many thanks for your trouble to give detailed description of the process, which, unhappily I had tried several times. The problem is that the .vcf file is NOT created - or at least can't be found when I search for it. Any thoughts?
Regardless of how many contacts you select, when you export - only a single .vcf file is created (with a default name of the first contact you had selected)
I would suggest you choose to save the .vcf file on your desktop, from where it shall be easy to locate.
What laptop are you using, btw?
Family sharing does not include sharing contacts.
Yes - although the call logs etc. are not important and we also have separate emails when we want to keep things "private"
Thank you - found one at last! -I was never I was never offered a choice of location to save them but only found them by using the .vcf extension as a find. Think I'm sorted now - thanks agin.
I think now make something is true really
