    In iCloud Contacts, you can export to vcf by selecting contacts and choosing Export VCard from the menu under the gear icon in lower left.  However, I've not had luck exporting more than a few vCards at a time.  Maybe its just me or Maybe someone knows a work around.  Give it a try yourself, but I would do batches instead of one export of hundreds.  Double clicking the vcf should import to Outlook if you have that file association set up.

    What's exported is dependent on what's selected when you choos to export. To expert all contacts you need to be at the All Contacts group.

    Yeah, it is supposed to work that way, but when I select more than three, the export fails for me....  on two different Macs.

    Don't select any of the actual contacts, just select the All Contacts group in the sidebar.

    Hi, thank you all for trying to help me with this problem. I clicked on "select all" and the on "export". In the bottom left-hand corner I saw "uploading 20%....90%" but then nothing happened. I didn't see the file that it generated. Where did it go?

    It went to the folder you have designated as your download folder.  Usually it is named downloads.

    Thank you so much for your reply. I assume you mean the download folder on my C drive. I just looked there, but the file wasn't anywhere to be found. I arranged the downloads in order of date, the newest at the top, but without any luck.
