I wish to export all my iphone contact data to a single excel worksheet. Is there a way to export the data to an xls or a csv format (not separate csv files for each contact). I have the contacts in both my iPhone and the iCloud, but iCloud allows export as a vCard only.
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1
I spoke with Apple to get the answer to converting Apple contacts to .csv. The first step is to select desired entries from your Contacts. (I selected all.) Next go into Numbers and clear all the columns and rows by clicking on dot in upper left hand corner of the table and select Cut. Now, drag and drop selected contacts onto the empty numbers screen. Finally, after examining and editing your result, simply select File>Export to csv. The support person says that she hears it works with Excel too, but I plan to just convert from Numbers as I couldn't the contacts to drag and drop directly.
Export iphone contacts to Excel or CSV file.You can download and install iTunes on your computer.Run iTunes.Then connect your iPhone with computer using data cable. In iTunes Right-click on your device and select “Back Up” .When iTunes finish the back up process, Click on “Info” tab.Click on “Sync Contacts ”.Select “Export” contacts as CSV file or to Excel on windows.
It is difficult to understand why Apple does not make this a free service. It should be a simple process to download contacts to a spreadsheet, clean them up, and reload them to the Iphone. I guess Apple doesn't care.
Not on the phone, no. You would need to export them from whatever address book you're syncing with iCloud on your computer if it offers that option.
Thank you for your answer - this solved my question.
Is this supposed to work for all of the contact info? I tried this with Numbers '09 and I got some info (name, phone #, email address), but no address, etc.
Thank you! I found your message buried in and around so many useless suggestions. So helpful!
This feedback is exactly what I needed. So easy. Thank you.
Worked like a charm. Thanks
Yes. The Exporter for Contacts app in the Apple Store. It's a Godsend.
Thank you! That worked beautifully for me!
