At http://icloud.com go to the Contacts page. Select all your contacts, click the cogwheel icon at bottom left and select 'Export vCard'.

Now open Address Book on your Mac. From the File menu choose 'Import' and select your exported file. Of course if it contains entries which are also on the Mac you will get duplicates.

That's fine, thanks... but after import contacts do not have groups and pictures (contact'sphoto) are not imported.

Any suggestion for this?

Thanks a lot !!!

I've just experimented, and while you can export from Address Book then import into iCloud and retain the picture, it doesn't retain the picture when you reverse the process. I suppose this is a design flaw. I can't see a way round this.
