Q: How do I put my contacts back into my outlook address book on my pc

Hi Julie - I had the same problem when I downloaded iCloud on my laptop and then synced iCloud with Outlook.  All of my contacts were missing from Outlook.  Just now, I got into Outlook, clicked on Contacts.  On the upper left side, you should see iCloud.  Right click on it.  It will give you options if you want to move or copy your contacts.  I chose "copy".  Then just click on where you want them copied to.  I clicked on Outlook.  When you do that, all of your contacts will be back where they belong in your Outlook Contacts folder.

Copy them from one to the other.

Yes I know, that's why I did not suggest that you paste them.

The problem here is that you don't know how to use Outlook.

Copy To Folder is an inbuilt Outlook command, you should have used it to move the contacts, there is no pasting involved.

Read the documentation for Outlook.

Ok, Csound1 to which folder?

The Contacts folder in Outlooks personal folders, isn't that where you want them?

Your Outlook Address Book is the folder in your Personal folders (as I just said)

Have you just started using Outlook? you seem to know very little about it.

Outlook:

Local folders are in the group Personal Folders, iCloud folders are in the group iCloud.

If you have merely marked the iCloud folder as an email address book (as you said before) you have not moved the folders at all, further problems will emerge. But as you are adamant that you have done what you need to I will bow out now.

Good luck

No, it was accurate, which is what this place is all about. I note that you have yet to offer any accurate advice, when do you plan on starting?

You can be accurate and not rude, all at the same time.  What I said to her was accurate, and I didn't feel the need to be rude to her at all.
