Clicking "Export as vcard" in contacts doing nothing

Hi,

I'm changing phones soon so I'm trying to export my iCloud contacts into a vcard. I followed the instructions, went onto icloud.com, logged in, selected all contacts, and clicked export as vcard. After clicking there was a very short "waiting for icloud.com..." message on my browser and then.... nothing. No vcard was downloaded. I waited for several minutes and nothing happened. I've tried again a few times, I've tried disabling all my addons and enabling every script and ad, and still nothing.

I've tried exporting just one contact to see if the problem was trying to export every contact at once, but that didn't work either. There's no error message or anything, just, nothing happens.

I'm using Google Chrome 40.0.2214.85 on a Windows 8.1 convertible laptop (Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro). My iPhone is an iPhone 4 running iOS 7.1.2 (since it isn't supported by iOS 8)

iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2

UPDATE:

I openned the javascript console in chrome to try and see what was happening and found the following error messages which happen whenever I try to export my contacts:

SOLUTION.. verified on Chrome and IE browsers.

Simply do this;

1. Turn off PopUp and AdBlockers

2. When selecting Export vCard use the RIGHT mouse button.

3. Wait 15 seconds

If this still doesn't work then try this.

2. When selecting Export vCard hold down CTRL+SHIFT when using the LEFT mouse button.

Cheers

I figured out the workaround for any browser (Desktop). This is probably a bug if some apple rep can note it and escalate it to the devs.

1. Go to icloud.com and click on Contacts application

2. From lower Left pane. See the ' + ' sign and click on it.

3. Click New Group. Give it any name.

4. Select the group and click on Action menu button (lower left) and click on Delete

5. Click no when it asks whether you want to delete the group.

6. Click the Actions menu button (lower left) and select 'Select All' and click on Actions menu button again and click on Export vCard. Voila done. 🙂
