Q: When I try to download icloud contacts for outlook it only downloads one contact instead of all contacts

icloud only downloads one contact instead of all contacts as i highlighted all contacts. I accidentally deleted my contacts and outlook somehow replaced it with an old copy of my contacts

PC, Windows 10

    Hello randall21,

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    If I understand your post correctly you are trying to get iCloud Contacts on your Windows PC.  The easiest way to do this would be to download and install iCloud for Windows, and enable Contacts.

     

    Download iCloud for Windows

     

    Take care.

    Hi Alex

    I have the iCloud for Windows and the latest version of Outlook contacts are there. The problem I have is when I try to export them to Outlook and follow the instructions only one single contact is imported to Outlook eventhough I highlighted all contacts to download to a file

    Hey Randall,

     

    Can you explain the issue or what the goal you're trying to accomplish is?  If you have iCloud for Windows installed and it's syncing iCloud Contacts to your Outlook Contacts, then where and why are you exporting them to Outlook?
