Icloud contacts export VCF File

When exporting contacts from iCloud many of the contacts are missing the phone numbers. I've been able to confirm the accounts we're experiencing problems with have a "Phone" field that's populated with a valid phone number. When I click on the "Phone" field drop down menu "Phone" is not a valid field.


Valid phone number fields are Mobile, Home, Work, etc.. All of those numbers export correctly. Anything that shows "Phone" will not export the numbers.


Is this due to an outdated version of iCloud? Is there a way to run a script in iCloud that can change the field to "Work" or?


There are over 600 contacts so I would rather not check each one at a time.

Thank you,

Windows, Windows 10

Hello Alumus,


We advise that you make sure to update both iCloud (Download iCloud for Windows - Apple Support) and your PC. Outdated software could cause this type of behavior. If the issue persists after that, try deleting one of the affected Contacts and recreating it, then trying the export again. This will help you determine if there is an issue with some of the Contacts or the operating system itself.


Testing in safe mode and/or another user account may also offer some help in troubleshooting this issue.


We hope this helps. Let us know if we can assist with anything else at all. Take care.
