Syncing iCloud contacts and calendars BACK TO MS Outlook

Hello fschoenhut,

I understand you have lost the data from your Microsoft Outlook 2010. If you have a backup .pst file, that would be the easiest way to get this data back. Another option is to used archived from iCloud.

Archive or make copies of your iCloud data

Contacts

Use the steps below to export contacts from OS X Mountain Lion or later, iCloud.com, or Outlook 2007 through Outlook 2016.

Export contacts in OS X Mountain Lion or later

1. Open Contacts.
2. Choose View > Show Groups. In OS X Mountain Lion, choose View > Groups.
3. Select All Contacts in the Groups list.
4. Click a contact in the Contacts list.
5. Choose Edit > Select All to select all cards for export.
6. Choose File > Export > Export vCard.
7. Choose where you want to save the file, then click Save.

If you use Groups, you should consider archiving your entire Contacts or Address Book database as well as exporting vCards. The vCard method above copies your contacts, but not your Groups. Archives are more complex, but you might not be able to restore data using Archives while connected to the Internet and signed in to iCloud.

To export an archive in OS X Mountain Lion or later, open Contacts and choose File > Export > Contacts Archive.
